Sands Pants Radio, Australia's most American podcast network.
Hey everyone, and welcome to this week's episode of Plumbing the Death Star,
where we ask the important questions like, how would you save the economy in Jaws?
Hey, guess what?
It's the Jaws town.
The economy, it's fucked.
The mayor of Jaws comes to us, we got a little store,
it says, economy's fixed. It says, kids killed, $10.
And then under that, economy's fixed, $10.
Problem solved, $10. What do you want? We got one price, and then under that, economies fixed, $10. Problem solved, $10.
We got one price, and it works.
Exactly.
Hey, look, we also do a two-for-one deal, so...
Yeah, we'll get a kid, fix the economy.
Easy peasy.
Liquidly split.
All right, so...
Sometimes that's all it takes.
Yeah.
All right, so Mayor Vaughan of Amityville Horror or whatever is like,
you cunts.
I'm like, what?
He's like, right, we've got a shark problem maybe.
Well, look, we've got this accident.
We don't have a shark problem, to be honest.
We have a boating accident problem.
A boating accident problem.
This piece of shit sheriff or cop or whatever over here,
he reckons that it's a shark
and he wants to close down the beach like a big idiot.
I don't know about that.
So we're coming to these three handsome individuals who are going
to save the economy, but maybe we also, I don't know about you guys,
but maybe I don't want to deal with no shark problems
because that seems like a legal problem.
I don't believe in sharks.
I don't know.
They're a fake animal and a fake idea.
Whereas, all right, so I think, look, I'm a bit more cautious.
I'm like, right, we don't want to sink the economy.
I get that, Mayor Vaughan.
I'm on your side.
But maybe we should, you know, look, this whole shark problem,
first off, I don't want to deal with it.
So I've got another solution here.
So look, we are at a beachside resort town or some shit.
So here's what we do.
It's a two-step process, man.
What are we going to do?
Firstly, I reckon the beach sucks.
And let's start a smear campaign about the beach.
Fuck the beach 2020.
Fuck the beach 2020.
All right, well, you're good. Oh, great. You get sand in your ass.
It's hot.
It's too sandy.
I like to imagine a poster that just has a crab on the front, and it just says
crabs. Can you believe
this shit? Yeah.
Exactly. This poster
says, fuck the beach 2020.
Sand. It gets in your ass. Sand. It's too sandy. Sand. this poster says fuck the beach 2020 sand it gets
in your eyes sand it's
too sandy sand
just a picture of Anakin
Skywalker
he hated sand
he had the rider
and he killed some kids
I would suggest to the mayor
knowingly like
we also do that
We killed Harry Potter the other day
So
You know, the cops
they're looking for us
They didn't check our shop though for some reason
I'll
So we go like basically
bad mouth the hell out of
the ocean and the beach
I agree because I think everybody's just ready to turn on a dime to hate the beach.
You love the beach for the first two thirds.
The last third of being at the beach, you never want to go to the beach again in your life.
That's what the beach experience is.
We're going to make a short little video of people going to the beach or whatever.
They come back and they get in their car and they look down.
And now their car is covered in sand and it's all black and white
and everyone's like, oh, now my car is sandy.
Maybe you come over like in the background and you're like,
you can never completely wash your feet of sand.
Yeah.
And it's like, damn, that's right, I can't.
Where like there's those taps where the car park meets the beach
so you can like kind of wash your feet.
But then you can't really because maybe you've got to walk more sand
to get back to your car.
And you're never going to get 100% sand free.
And then what if your house is carpet?
No, thank you.
Also, it makes you smell of sea.
Beach showers are cold.
Yeah.
That's annoying.
Yeah.
I want to warm up.
So basically just a nice big smear campaign against the ocean.
And I know Mayor Vaughan is probably like, hang on.
That's our one economy.
You've fucked us.
No.
What we're going to do now is we're going to,
all that money that we invest in getting people to come to beach,
All that money that we invest in getting people to come to beach,
we're going to re-pump into and make every house have its own pool.
Okay.
And we're going to turn away from tourism and just be pool salesmen. We've pumped money into making our town look like an appealing place to go
with advertisements, with beautification.
Okay, so you'd rather us instead buy every citizen a pool.
Yes.
So the idea is we put money into advertising
and then we get money out of tourists.
You're just telling us to put money into pools.
Yes.
Into presents, really.
When's the money come back?
That's what I'd like to know
We put money into pools
So now we have our bustling pool industry
Oh, so these are public pools?
Sure, I say
You're never going to be sure from somebody who's
Sure, could be
Well, is it or isn't it? Could be, if that's what you want No, no You never want to hear sure from somebody who's... Sure, could be.
Well, is it or isn't it?
Could be, if that's what you want.
No, no.
Maybe as a resident of Amityville town or whatever,
I just wanted a free pool.
Maybe that sounds great.
So, yes, all right.
Well, yeah.
Did I say pool in every household? I meant a good public pool, sir.
Well, you can do both.
You can do both? Yeah, you can do both. You can do both.
Yeah, you can do both.
Because you could just be like, all right,
everyone gets a free pool under one condition.
You have to open it up to the public.
Perfect.
That's a good idea.
Alternatively, everybody gets a free pool, okay,
but then you jack up the price of pool toys.
Yes.
Oh, you want an inflatable ring?
$200.
you jack up the price of pool toys.
Yes. Oh, you want an inflatable ring?
$200.
Also, every pool has to have sort of three mandatory toys.
Make pool cleaning mandatory,
so that'll be like stimulating the economy there.
So we're going to have a lot of pool cleaners.
Everyone now has a job as a lifesaver.
Yes.
Which I think-
Training.
We need training for that.
I don't think that works well to boost the economy
if everyone is doing a job that has no monetary gain.
Well, someone's got to pay the lifesaver, right?
Well, no, the lifesaver gets paid,
but presumably they get paid from-
Tourists come in.
They're like, we love this town,
and now we get to sample all the pools in this town.
And they have to pay entry fee.
How would you know?
You're riding through the town and you're like,
oh, I'll go to the beach, and somebody at the beach is like,
no, no, no, you don't want to go to the beach.
But every person in town has a pool you can go into.
Oh, my God, the beach sucks.
Didn't you see this poster?
Gross. A lot of everyone giving
the beach the finger.
That's our town flag
now.
Town flag.
Okay.
Several people just
giving it what for to that beach.
And now we charge entry to go swimming in people's pools.
It's so great to imagine.
A tax.
We have a tax.
Okay.
So we make everyone own a pool and we charge pool tax.
Yeah.
Yeah.
People, will people not, because you've not banned people from going to the beach.
You've just,
you've just tried to make it seem no good.
So if they're like to have a pool,
you're going to have a pool tax.
I'm going to be like,
well,
I'm,
I'm going to go back to the beach.
But we make the pool mandatory.
You have to have a pool.
Okay.
So I buy a pool and then I get paid.
I get taxed on my pool.
People are going to be unhappy, I guess.
But maybe there'll be more money coming into local government.
You're also going to have to pass a new law
that it's mandatory to buy a pool.
Yes.
Hey, do you want to move to Amityville?
No, I don't want to have to buy an in-ground pool.
I don't have the money for that.
That's insane.
All right.
So we don't force everyone to have their own pool.
And why don't we just instead, we just make the sickest public pool,
but we kind of build it near the ocean.
And so basically we do one of those enclosed ocean pools
so that the shark can't come in.
It's good to imagine that, Zammett, in our little shop,
economy's fixed, $10.
You've got a whiteboard on your floor.
You're like under like, but the whiteboard has a lot
of crossed out little diagrams.
Hey, everyone, you know how I said that the beach sucked?
Forget about that.
The beach is kind of cool.
The sand part where the pool is is good
It's the water bit that's bad
We kind of like the water bit
So what we want to do
You know rock pools?
You know rock pools
So we want to build a big rock pool
Okay problem
What if Jaws gets here?
I don't know what you're talking about
Shakes a fake Shakes are fake.
Shakes are fake.
Shakes are fake.
What's a Jaws?
Shakes are fake.
That's your new poster.
Shakes are fake. Shut up.
Who's this Jaws fellow you keep talking about?
Are you a fan of James Bond as well?
Imagine if you just... Your whole strategy to make it seem like
there are no shark attacks in jaws is to just say shakes attacks every time i heard there's been
shark attacks on the sea no no no no no shakes attacks the shakes have attacked you know shakes
those wealthy you know you don't want them they're they're yeah shakes yeah shakes don't want them. Yeah, shakes. What's a shake? Don't worry about it.
Go to the pool instead.
Go to that pool.
It's a big rock pool.
Or what we do is we build a giant slide that starts on the beach and goes into the ocean.
So what we're trying to do here is limit people.
That's where the shakes are.
No, see, we're going to limit people's exposure to the ocean
because what you're going to do is you want to go on the slide so much
you're going to go into the water and then you're going to swim out
and walk around back up to the slide.
So you'll be spending less time in the water,
which will give less time for this supposed shake.
You've just developed a feeding tube for the shake.
That's what you've done.
The shake's just going to be there with his big mouth open
and then we're just gonna slide on in
you're better off making the slide go back around
into a pool somewhere else
so you think you're going into the sink
back when you were saying
imagine like everybody gets a pool
and they're all over to the public
imagine being like tourists to a town
and just getting into a family pool
with a family
like just sitting there.
Well, this is weird.
And then every pool can have its own little bar that you can swim up to.
So there's a lot of bartenders that we are hiring.
So it's not your private bar.
So I have to build a pool and employ someone.
As a side gig.
You can do it yourself.
Have a lovely home business.
Hi, can I pour you a drink?
Okay, yeah, what do you have? I have about half a bottle
of gin. This is a vodka for Christmas.
And three warm beers.
Aye?
Would you like one?
A hundred dollars.
And then, if we...
I gotta pay the fucking pool tax.
Along with that pool That we have to make
Get a barbecue in there
In the pool?
No next to the pool
Wet sausage and warm beer sir
$200
Everyone gets to now cook
Hamburgers and sausages
And gets to sell them above market price
To the tourists
so
hang on
so the pools
are open to the public but the owners
of the houses in Amity
have to pay money to
build the pool then pay a pool tax
then pay to employ a lifeguard
and a bartender
we will have incentives if you want to be your own bartender,
barbecue person and pool maintenance as well as lifeguard.
Maybe we have incentives to be like,
if that's the business you want,
you get some kind of incentive,
like a free meal
at the local RSL
back into the economy
by employing people
they are doing it themselves
for free and you're giving them
a prize
I mean I guess there's already the contacts in the pool
yeah that's
I mean that's money
you're like hey no do it yourself
The opposite of likely
They get a free meal at the RSL
I think that's pretty good
You're not pumping any money back
Into the economy
You're making everyone work for free
So your local economy collapses
The money went into the economy
And bought the pool and paid the yearly pool tax
And that's the end of money leaving the people.
And then tourists come in.
Why?
Because they want to experience all the pools.
They want to experience everyone's different pools.
None of them good.
Let's go.
Because wouldn't it be interesting to be like,
hey, I'm going to go to that person's pool
and see what they've done.
And then the next day you go to someone else's and see if it is at all different.
Maybe it's better.
Maybe it's worse.
Maybe the snags taste better over there.
That would be a slogan.
The snags will taste better over there.
Sorry, I say as I'm driving into the town.
What could they possibly mean by that?
So now you're advertising internally.
Again, no one has a job all of a sudden.
Everyone has a job.
Everyone is a small business owner, Dusha.
Am I paying the people to use their pool or can I do it for free?
Yeah.
So I'm a tourist.
Yes.
I arrive.
I see someone's pool I want to go into.
You like pay them cash at hand or whatever.
You're like, please.
You'll have, okay.
See, this is the thing.
Now it's because everyone is now a small business pool owner.
Competition is fierce.
So you'll probably have a lot of people outside their homes being like,
come to my pool.
We have these cocktails.
And someone's like, oh, but we have the best snags on High Street.
And then it'll be a competition.
I need to draw a diagram of the economy you've created for this town.
Everyone will be at the government basically like
being like hey can't do Apple
it's like cover price is free
with three drinks and someone could be like
ah but we'll get half
off drinks if $10 cover
charge and
we'll let the market
sort itself out
so can you just make sure
Jackson make sure
in your diagram you
write $10 cover charge equals
half drinks.
Half price drinks, presumably.
Goes out to the government
through the pool tax.
They get money in
from tourists who want to
use their pool.
There's a lot of competition, so no one's going to make their money back
from the amount of money it costs to install a pool.
You hire a man who...
So we're keeping our citizens in debt
so they have to keep working it.
Yes, yes.
But they're working.
You're encouraging them to work for themselves
so they're not earning money.
The money out's so much more than the money
in the company.
Well the money out for who though?
For the people.
But that's not
how the economy works.
You can't.
You're not the government, you're a contractor.
So I still
give my dad bucks.
Now we get to walk over with a crisp dinner?
With some extra change?
Get a McDonald's double cheeseburger.
Yeah, or entry into someone's amazing backyard pool.
Just saying.
Have a wet veggie party.
Well, because I think the issue will be that every single people every single person living in amity
will just move out because this is a bad idea i don't want to i'm like ah hey we're gonna get
to fix the shark problem like hey that's that wasn't the question i starve that shark from
delicious human meat it's great to imagine you zamba just standing in the beach eating a sausage and Jaws just comes in Job well done
A shake!
Ah!
You have so many shakes in this damn ocean
Holy shit, that's the biggest shake I've ever seen
So yeah, so
I think that's pretty good
Out of a good job, bad job
rating, this falls firmly in the bad job.
Yeah, that's in the bad job bin.
Right, there it is.
BJB.
And now a quick word from our sponsors.
Also, have you noticed that your shirts and or bags are often lacking in pins
from your good friends at sans pants radio
well that's easily remedied by heading to our merch store on sanspantsradio.com and grabbing
one of our pins we have the sans pants radio logo and always bet on piss d20 and jackson's face that
is a replica of his legally binding signature sold separately or as a set of three check them
out at our merch store over at sansandspansradio.com.
So, my plan is, like, it makes a lot more sense, I feel.
Okay.
So, the economy is obviously suffering from shark attacks.
Yep.
Because they're a beach-side town.
Boating accidents, douche-o.
Boating accidents.
But still, it means that the water is unsafe.
So, like, whilst people are still coming to the beach,
if people keep dying in, air quotes,
boating accidents, when we all know they're getting eaten by shakes, means that people eventually are going to stop coming to the beach and that's where the issues with the economy happen, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
Sure.
I've got a solution that will take care of the beach problem.
Yeah.
Economy won't suffer at all.
And also we'll fix the shark problem.
And that is Amity just needs to
freeze the ocean turn rebrand as an ice break okay okay step one what's your step one how yeah how
how fence off an area okay fence off an area yeah in the water like you can build water fences
yeah like i was saying a rock pool uh-huh mean, you can have a lot of boating accidents
During construction
When I'm the mayor and I'm like, what is your plan
If you build a fence
And you're like, I'm gonna freeze the sea
And step one is build a fence
I'd be like, that wouldn't have been my step one
Okay, so we're gonna
Alright, so you've built a fence
Step two
Freeze the water
In the fenced off area
Step 3
Step 3 is obviously
Advertising
I need to go back then
Step 2 how
How am I freezing the ocean
I don't know if you know this about the sea
But it's big
Obviously I'm fencing some off
So I'm not trying to freeze the entire yeah excuse me i forgot about your sea fence okay what are you
gonna just drop ice cubes you finish it open up a lot of fridges um well no i reckon
how do they do it at a ski resort?
They make snow somehow.
That's cold.
Well, that's a snow machine.
But the thing is, they don't...
It's not like they suck grass in and snow comes out.
Because I need ice where there is now currently water.
Yeah, and also, it's a beach town
in an area that's kind of tropical and around the equator.
Which is why the ice rink is going to be a great idea.
Yeah.
They're not used to it.
That's exciting.
It'll be amazing.
Yeah.
But right now, I just see you standing at the sea's edge,
scratching your chin, looking at your sea fences.
My fenced-off beach area.
Okay, quick question.
Let's go back to step one
What's the fence made from
Yeah
Well probably like
Perspex or something I guess
Okay
Okay so you need
I'm just looking up how to freeze the sea
You need temperatures below zero degrees
Yeah obviously that's freezing temperature
Just to give you some clues The only issue will also be i believe that the fact that the ocean is salty means that
it'll have to be a little bit lower than zero degrees i think i if i remember science correctly
and i honestly might not i believe that adding salt to water means that it doesn't freeze or
doesn't freeze as well here's's my suggestion for you, Mr.
Geladusha.
You've got the whiteboard, you're in the
office, speed diameter kicking back.
Step three, how? I'm like,
just tap it on the whiteboard.
What if you hand up, what if you drain
the sea in your fenced area first
and import ice?
That could work.
I'm draining the sea.
A roof.
Yeah, sorry.
Well, not a perspex roof
because that will amplify temperature.
Just want to see again.
If you've built a fence that's quite
strong and
Yeah, that might deal with the shake problem.
That might deal with that shake problem.
Either you've trapped it in or you've trapped it out.
Now, although, if you've trapped it in,
because it is a great white shake,
the best thing about that is apparently great whites
don't really last well in captivity.
They don't.
So, I mean, let's just quickly have a quick
how long does great white last in captivity?
I really like Dusha imagining that you've kept the shake out
and the mayor is like, well, great.
You're like, no, no, you hired me to do a job.
And he's like, no, this doesn't work.
No, no, I'll figure out how to drain the sea.
Don't worry.
Well, you don't have to drain the sea.
Look, again, within days or weeks,
this is in terms of a great white being in captivity,
they were dead.
The longest that a great white has been kept in captivity
is 198 days.
And they were trying to keep it alive.
Yeah, that's true. I'll be the opposite.
They'll be like, should we feed this shark? Like, no, no.
Not at all.
That would be insane. We're gonna starve
it to death. So maybe instead
of
a ice rink,
what about a natural giant
sea aquarium, JD?
Oh, SeaWorld
that shit.
Yes, there is a shake. it is oh no it died go back oh well who cares enjoy your swim
hi i'm an animal rights group oh no who cares is an intense thing to say
what are you gonna do with all this infrastructure designed to look after shakes?
What's your plan now?
I'll probably put a boy in there or something.
I don't know.
I'll raise something in there.
A boy?
Yeah.
He's struggling to swim in there.
So what?
Should you build like a floating island
like you do with turtles or something?
Yeah.
Boys and turtles are basically the same.
Just water is so funny.
Oh, ground!
And then people on the news, they're like,
John Dusha, who worked for a company which claimed boys killed,
has killed another boy.
Yeah, that was a tooth.
Yeah.
John, what do you have to say about it for yourself?
I'm like, are you surprised you surprised like look at my sign
this is on you in many ways
why are you harassing me for doing
my job
that's my job
gesturing to the sign quite violently
see the first one
killer boy
it's also good to imagine the mayor
looking at like a half built
aquarium on the sea front
half of your
sea thing like your sea
fence out like half built
there's a big like
snow machine just shooting snow
into the water
he didn't really follow through on any of his problems
he half built two, then killed a boy.
I mean, we're getting people coming to town,
but for the wrong reasons.
Hey, is this that town where that maniac killed a boy?
Tried to raise him like a shark?
Like an absolute psychopath?
Yeah.
What the fuck?
Yeah.
Would you like to buy, like, a key ring? No. What about a T-shirt? Yeah. Would you like to buy like a key ring?
No.
What about a t-shirt?
No.
No.
The t-shirt just says, I was where a boy died.
Would you like to go on a tour of the abandoned facility?
It's sad.
Question, why did nobody stop this?
We didn't know what he was doing, to be honest
He said he was going to do something surprising
He kept saying step one was to build a fence
And so we built the fence
Then step two was freeze the lake
He spent days out there by the sea just looking at it
I don't think he thought about how to freeze it
I think he just thought he would naturally fall into it.
Yeah.
We're an island somewhat, I think, near the equator.
Yeah, it's really quite warm.
Quite warm.
And the temperature here is steady.
It's consistent.
It's good to imagine, Dusha, you walking down to the beach
holding a big bag of ice, throw it into the
sea, a wave just pushes it behind
you.
Then like the mayor's
looking at you from like the board
walk or something and you're like, not enough
ice I reckon, hold on.
I've just got to go to
the servo, I'll be back. In my mind
you have an icy pole as well.
Yeah, I'm wearing thongs and board shorts as well.
But they're shirt and tie.
Shirt and tie rolled up like pants at the ankles.
More ice.
Gotta be colder.
The mayor's like, I know.
I figured.
The mayor's like, he was just at the ocean Staring out at the horizon
I thought he was devising plans
But in hindsight
He was ranking Weezer albums in his head
Okay
How about this JD
Because I know
Well basically what you're trying to do is
Kind of put a cap over the ocean
So
And you're doing it
Trying to freeze the ocean
What about instead of
An ice skating rink
A skating rink
What if we turn the ocean into a skate park
by building on top of it?
That's sick, Joel Zammett, but it depends what my budget is
because the first part of your sentence
gave me an even better idea.
Yes.
I'm trying to freeze the ocean,
but what if I just drag where the ocean was already frozen
to where I am?
Let's bring the ice caps to Amity.
Great.
Hail.
Boat and a chain.
Easy.
It's great to imagine you once again, but like in Antarctica.
Just looking at the frozen place.
Or looking at a tugboat, looking at a chain.
And imagine all them key chains that you have for your wallet.
And you're like...
It's great to imagine
you've got the end of the chain
that has a hook on it
you just like
look at the ground
and just
kind of half embed it
I guess go
Jane just
drags Luffy's eyes
into the water
wait that didn't work
stop
reverse
reverse
come back
the mayor's driving the boat
and he's like
what
what's the plan here
It's just too cold
I'm gonna go inside make a hot drink
Have a think about this
It's good to imagine you with a butter knife
Trying to cut out a bit of the
The ice shelf
It's really it's bigger than I thought it would be
Yeah
Yeah I think so
Yeah I thought because it was in water it would float But I think it would be. Yeah. Can you do it still? Yeah, I think so.
Yeah, not because it was in water, it would float,
but I think it's land under bits of this.
Did you know that?
I did.
Oh, fuck.
Fuck.
Is the Arctic ice different?
Yes, in places.
Okay, can we go there?
I guess.
Whoa, still great.
This one does seem like significantly less land, though.
Is there anywhere I can hook this?
Do you mean on the ice shelf?
Yeah, like something sticking out, I can just hook it in. Yeah, you know, like the same way they tow a car.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The mayor being like, no, and you're like, ooh, sort of needed that.
What if I bring a really big peg, like a tent peg,
and I just hammer that into the ice and then how big put the
chain around sure yeah about as big as a man maybe maybe bigger actually and i'm gonna need a big
hammer like uh you know the hammer that mario uses in the mario brothers games i suppose so
yeah like the the one that's as big as him so mario is a small man but
relatively i think i'm gonna need a hammer the same the same like size difference that mario
and the hammer is to me and the hammer yeah do you know what i mean i'm gonna need a big hammer
what about when i'm construction like equipment that's like a big machine that's like i got
into the ground oh no what do you yeah like that could you imagine amityville or whatever it's just
tanking because all of the money that the man is going into your scheme he hard built an aquarium
he fenced off the ocean took the man to antar Antarctica and the Arctic. The mayor has a really inhuman amount of faith in this man.
It's shocking.
Well, what you've done is, for an extended period of time,
you've taken away the mayor of that town
to kind of, I guess, let Sheriff Brody do his thing.
So you might have come back,
and the problem's somewhat fixed itself.
Yeah, but the economy's tanked because all the money was spent on hiring boats and big hammers.
Yeah, we wasted all our economy on a really big hammer.
Yes.
Now you've got a lot of use for it.
Okay, so you've got a really big hammer, a half-built aquarium,
an angry Sheriff Brody who's definitely killed a shark,
and a dead boy.
So how do you turn this into profit?
I use the big hammer to knock down the wall I built,
and then I say,
Hey, guys, remember the beach?
It's open again.
You create a problem.
You solve the problem you frame yourself
as the hero
Sheriff Brody
wanted you to
stay out of the beach
he even built this wall
killed that boy
and wasted the mayor's money
on trips
to very cold places
not today
smash up on the wall
me and my big hammer
have solved another problem
smash up on the wall
a big shake
comes in
eats you
oh no Jaws 2
that's right
Jaws happens twice
so the way to
to kind of recuperate those
losses was to knock down a
wall for free
yes
well whereas Samet's plan was one
big bad plan and bad job,
yours was like many little bad
jobs. That's pretty cool.
Hey,
it's a good job if you hated that
boy I killed.
Yeah, you're not incorrect.
Very good point.
I think a lot of
LBJs there.
Yeah, a lot of LBJs.
Little bad Js.
LB Johnson.
Yeah.
Okay, so here's my plan, right?
We know, look, yeah, we can say boat attacks,
but we know really shakes are killing people.
Yes.
But maybe that's a good thing.
You know who are perverts?
Billionaires.
Perverts for violence and sex, yes. Yeah, so I contact billionaires perverts for violence and sex yes yeah so i contact billionaires
somehow jeff bozo whatever his name is hey jeff ponzo want to see a guy die from because of a
shark it feels like the mayor's not involved the mayor hired us too and then didn't hire you and you've gone
rogue to prove that you had a better plan i just saw i'll show that mayor sharks kill innocent
people i'm like that's a money maker right there time to call chef bonzo's or whatever his name is
hello chef bonzo's famous chef would you like to see a man get sharked i mean shaked i mean
sharked so people pay me exorbitant amounts of money to throw other people whose lives they
deem less worthwhile off the pier into the shake and then i make fat cash and buy tourist trinkets from the gift shop in Amityville,
and that boosts the economy.
I buy heaps of trinkets.
Question.
So Amity Island is in the USA, right?
Mm-hmm.
Now, last time I checked, murder was still a crime.
Not for billionaires.
Billionaires can do it.
I mean, perhaps.
But how are you advertising this?
Dark web.
Hello.
My name is Jackson Bailey, and I know where there's a big shark.
Want to see it and kill people on it, with it?
Meet me at this address.
And then I put in the pier.
Okay.
I'm a wealthy billionaire with a hard-on for killing people with sharks.
They should have come to my town.
Why do I need to come through you when this would be on the news?
I know where the sharks are.
Because as a wealthy billionaire, I'd have an alert Maybe to be like shark attacks
Yeah you got an app for it
Dangerous shark
Well and now I have somewhere to be
Okay okay fair point
Step one of the plan
Is collect a lot of chum
Okay and then I take that chum
At night say midnight every night
At the beach and I tip it off the pier.
And I attract, slowly, Jaws.
Over time, Jaws wants the chum.
And then I know where Jaws will be at midnight, because I've kind of domesticated him, albeit.
At the public pier everyone has access to.
Yeah, but Jaws only knows to come...
I mean, I don't care if jaws kills other people
during the day that's not my problem yeah but you're but yeah you're giving away your business
for free yeah but they don't the millionaires don't know that yet they don't know where the
jaws will be not until i write that article on the deep web i have been throwing chum off the
edge of this pier for the last year come throw throw a guy off there and pay me $10 million.
Why didn't I just go there and throw a guy off there
and not pay you $10 million?
Oh, no!
Exclamation mark, exclamation mark, exclamation mark.
Please don't.
And how does that improve Amity?
Don't tell anyone.
How does that improve Amity Island's economy?
They didn't hire me.
No, I told you.
They pay me lots of money. I go to the gift shop. I buy Amity Island's economy? They didn't hire me. No, I told you. They pay me lots of money.
I go to the gift shop.
I buy Amity Island t-shirts, Amity Island keychains, caps, shorts, underwear, shoes.
I'm a walking advertisement for Amity Island, and I wear them once a day and throw them in with the chum.
And then I buy new ones.
I'm so rich.
I am the economy.
I'm so rich, I am the economy.
They could kill everyone in town, and should,
and just rely on me to buy stuff from the gift shop.
With the money I've acquired feeding people sharks with Jeff Bezos. If everyone is dead.
The mayor, I don't mind.
I mean, maybe instead, as opposed to advertising on the dark web,
all you've got to do is find one wealthy pervert and then be like,
hey, why don't you buy this town and then, you know,
we can just feed it the shark, anyone you want,
and I'll be your enforcer.
Hi, wealthy billionaire, I have a proposition for you.
How about you buy this shark?
I'm selling Jaws.
Dear Lon Musk.
Dear Lon Musk from Mars, I'm selling one shark.
His name's Jaws.
$10 billion, I'll show you where he is.
What's to stop the wealthy billionaire from pushing you into Jaws?
I'm wearing floaties, so at least I'll float.
And I've covered myself in a foul-smelling liquid beforehand,
so Jaws doesn't want to eat me.
Cod liver oil, let's say.
So even if he does eat me, he vomits me right back up.
Maybe that's part of the plan.
Jeff Bezos gives me a million dollars, pushes me into Jaws. Jaws eats me, vomits me right back up. Maybe that's part of the plan. Jeff Bezos gives me a million dollars.
Pushes me into Jaws.
Jaws eats me.
Vomits me up onto the beach.
Go to the gift shop.
Buy a bunch of hats.
Done.
Everyone else in town could die for all I care.
I like the idea of you making yourself shark repellent by taking up smoking and claiming that your meat's gone bad.
He won't want to eat me.
I'm acrid. It's gross in there. I smoke so much that your meat's gone bad you won't want to eat me i'm acrid it's gross in
there i smoke so much that my meat's gone bad the jeff bezos or whatever being like i'll push you
in i'm like do it i don't care i haven't paid you yet okay well okay well pay me first
oh no taking up smoking did nothing.
Now I'm just addicted to cigarettes.
Yeah. So your plan is to acquire
the business
of a wealthy pervert. Yes.
By selling them
jaws. By selling them
location that a lot of people know.
No, it doesn't have to be location. I'll just sell them the shark.
Okay. They buy the shark.
Great.
Expecting to get a shark.
Thank you for the transaction.
Have a good day.
And then I head off.
So you're not...
You're selling them the idea of a shark all of a sudden.
Well, it's sort of a con, I guess.
Oh, okay.
So...
Yeah.
So your plan now is to...
They give me the money.
Pretend you're selling a shark.
I have a contract written up, right?
You now own one Jaws, property of Jeff Bezos.
And they're like, thank you very much for the shark.
And I'm like, you're welcome.
It's in the sea.
And then I leave.
The shark's theirs, legally.
And I go to the gift shop and I buy an inflatable shark or whatever they sell there.
I don't know.
A ruler that says Amity on it.
Economy's boosted.
I'm $10 billion richer.
Jeff Bezos has a shark.
I go home.
All right.
I'm wealthy billionaire and man who doesn't let Amazon employees piss Jeff Bezos.
Hi.
I...
It's Jackson from the deep web.
Hi, Jackson from the deep web. Hi, Jackson from the deep web.
Why do I want to buy-
Did I not have used my real name?
People told me I should have.
I used my full name, apparently.
And a terrible thing you do.
Why do I want to buy this shark and not just a shark?
It's huge.
Yeah, but-
One of the biggest sharks i've ever seen jeff
bezos yeah but i can just get a smaller shark and be happy and i can put that shark in an aquarium
good for you you've bought yeah that's not what i'm selling why did you come all this way if you
were just gonna fuck me around jeff bezos came all this way to the pier To Amityville Horror
Just fuck me around
I just gestured to the sea
It's out there
It's a shark Jeff
Okay
Does what it likes
Do you own this shark?
Nobody owns a shark except you
In five minutes when you sign this document
I think I probably just
Jeff Bezos
probably just pushes you off the pier.
Nice try. I've been smoking. My meat's bad.
And then...
Hop! Hop!
I was gonna buy so many knickknacks!
And as you get hit by a shark,
famous billionaire
Jeff Bezos gets a big hard-on
because he's a pervert for murder or whatever.
Oh no!
Oh no!
I was trying to sell
perversion, but I became
perversion.
This is a kind of poetry!
Eaten by the shark.
So I think, um,
yeah,
bad job.
I think my one failing is that I didn't own
the shark I was selling. I think your one failing is that you got killed.
No, no, there's more than one failing.
That wasn't anything.
That was a plus for everyone involved.
The one success was that he got himself.
The biggest failing there was you didn't own the shark,
nor have any way of controlling the shark. You can't sell a thing you didn't own the shark Nor have any way of controlling
The shark
You can't sell a thing you don't own
If you're doing it as a scam
Sure
Like those people that sold the Eiffel Tower
I mean that's great
But um
I guess I never went to
When directly questioned by Jeff
I said I didn't own the shark that was
when you're scamming someone into believing you own a thing you gotta say you own a thing
yeah so when you are when you are trying to scam or sell a shark pervert um a shark don't be near
the shark so that he can push you in and get his jollies off yeah get a big stiffy yeah i shouldn't
have given jeff bezos a big stiffy that Yeah, I shouldn't have given Jeff Bezos a big stiffy.
That was my one failing.
Well, at least you two got your $10.
That's a small win for the plumbing boys.
You know, we'll take that.
I got to kill a boy.
You two got paid, you got to kill a boy.
I'm in a shark's guts now.
I got Jeff Bezos off, so...
I was like, look, once again,
even though maybe the Amity Islands economy
might be tanking, our own personal economy rising.
Absolutely.
$20 up.
And I'm sure I'll steal some chips off the Mac as you get,
so I'm doing okay as well.
But aren't you at?
You would at as well.
We're all at.
We just crawl our way back back bloody and full of shark
teeth to our little shop and i'm like did you guys get a tenner and you're like yeah and i'm like i
don't own that shark turns out can i have some of your chips yeah we all crawled through a shark's
anus alive so we deserve some chips yes and on that note, I've been Joel
I've been Jackson
And I've also been Joel
Call us if you need a hand for anything
Boys killed, economies fixed
We'll do it
We'll do it all
Ten bucks
