Hey everyone, and welcome to this week's episode of Plumbing the Death Star, where we ask the
important questions like, how would you survive being Hamlet?
Right.
We're all Hamlet?
Yes, so we are the boy Hamlet.
Okay.
We have had word, our father's dead.
Oh, my dad too?
He's our dad, Dave.
He's our dad.
He named us all Hamlet.
I thought we were all one person.
The brothers for Hamlet.
Okay.
Their dad, dead
Uncle married their mum
Oh weird
What's his name?
Claudius
Uncle Claudy
Uncle Father Claude
Daddy Claude
I hate this man
Anyway, father's ghost has been sighted
We go talk to him
Dad's like, your uncle killed me What's our plan? Is mum happy? I hate this man. Anyway, father's ghost has been sighted. We go talk to him.
Dad's like, your uncle killed me.
What's our plan?
Is mom happy?
Sort of.
She's not getting it?
Yeah.
Oh, they are definitely getting it on. And they have married within a couple of weeks of our dad being murdered.
Maybe this is fine.
I mean, mom's in on this.
She doesn't know he was murdered.
And the ghost has specifically said, your mom is not in on this. She doesn't know he was murdered. And the ghost has specifically said,
your mum is not in on this.
Don't punish her.
What kind of dad was dad?
He was a king, dad.
How's Claudius treating me?
Uncle seems...
Uncle, not super fond, but also doesn't hate you.
That's alright.
What was dad like?
Dad's good, but dead. Yeah, I'm not asking him if he's alright. What was Dad like? Dad's good
but dead. Yeah, I'm not asking him
when he's dead. It's rough that he's killed Dad
to fuck Mark. That is rough
but honestly... That's weird.
Dad's not going to live forever.
You're fond of Dad. You're very fond
of Dad. I like Dad.
We're depressed.
We're very depressed. Because Dad's gone.
I loved Dad. We were all dad's favourite son
Our uncle said
Hey
Your dad's died
And his dad also died
So
And do you see them
Caring about it
No
They're dead
Get over it
And we
Don't respond well to that
Yeah so we're depressed
That dad is dead
And we were quite fond of dad
And dad is like
Yeah I've been killed by uncle
So he can fuck Mum.
Hey, Dad, what's the afterlife like?
What?
Also, sometimes Dad from offstage yells,
Avenge! Avenge!
Shut up!
I would assume I was going through a psychosis
and trying to deal with the death of my dear, beloved Papa.
I'd say what other ghosts I could find. Yeah.
I might try and go find other ghosts
or just assume this is a psychotic
break. No, I'm going to see what other ghosts
surround. That's what I'm doing in the castle.
Forgetting Dad's quest. Okay.
So we'll fast forward a bit.
No other ghosts.
I come back to the three of you.
There are no other ghosts. We've gone for like a six year
quest. It turns out there's no other ghosts. We've gone for like a six-year quest.
It turns out there's no other ghosts out there.
I'm dead because I just did exactly the same thing that Hamlet did.
What happened to Dusha?
Sorry, Hamlet.
Hamlet 2.
Can I throw stuff at the ghost?
Does he shut up?
No.
What if I put my fingers in my ears?
Yeah, you can do... All right, we're going to have to fast-forward the plot
because if you're rebelling straight against the ghost...
I'm just like, what does he want from me?
Mum's happy, Dad.
But she's not.
Why is she not happy?
Her husband just died.
Yeah, but she was real quick to remarry.
Yeah, but the problem is it was these...
I'm going to do it and then I'm just going to see
if Mum's like, I'm cool with it still.
Yeah. I'm going to find it and then I'm just going to see if mum's like I'm cool with it still yeah like I'm going to go
I'm going to find out
if it's true
I'm going to go
and invite mum out
for some coffee
and then have a lovely
girls night out
with my mum
and then be like
so mum
how's daddy
Claude
you know
treating you
okay
the answer
that kind of happens
a bit
okay
so
I think there's a possibility
I don't want to play devil's advocate here
Yeah
That this ghost may be the devil
Tricking us into hating our uncle
Yeah
Maybe dad just died of natural causes
Yeah what if dad died of natural causes
What did the doctor say
This is a Satan
Does anyone remember
Yeah
No one knows what happened to dad
The doctor said the king is dead
So he'd know
Yeah
Where's dad's body?
Are we buried in a crypt?
To dad's grave!
Let's dig up daddy!
Yeah, we should dig up dad to see if he's still there.
That's a good plan.
Let's go dig up dad.
Wait, quick recap.
So, father ghost
has visited us.
Jackson's fucked off to see if he can find other ghosts.
Doesn't care about his dead dad.
I put my fingers in my ears and went
la la la la la la la for a while.
Because I didn't want to hear him yelling about Avenge Me.
I've got my own shit on.
That's later on and your own shit
is being sad that he's dead.
That's your shit. So now he's alive.
I don't need a ghost to tell me
I'm sad. I'm sad.
Dad's always cramping my style.
Let me mourn how I want to mourn, Dad.
Alright, so me and Dave, I guess... Is nothing I do good enough?
Dave wants to go to the crypt, too.
No, but you're not at the crypt.
Oh, you've changed your mind. I came back. There were no
ghosts. Alright, we've gone to the crypt. You can do
whatever you want. You probably didn't hear that we're going to the crypt.
Fine, we'll all go to the crypt. Three out of four.
Say go to the crypt. We're going to the crypt.
Push it over. Oh no no there's dad's body
I'm sad now
this was more traumatic
than I thought
oh god
his face has been eaten
yeah
I'm gonna pick up his skull
wait
oh man
last poor dad
I knew him so well
they're putting him back
that's funny
that's Hamlet reference
um
what if we turn him on his side
and liquid came out of his ear
and we
don't touch that
his brain's coming out if you were told that your dad was killed by poison being poured in his ear
would you not want to tip always did dad was dead clear about that yes dad was clear that i thought
dad was just like oh i got killed no dad was like waltz i was napping your uncle poured poison in
my ear how'd you know you were napping because he woke up
classic dad loved it okay if you were asleep and someone poured stuff in jackson you're not allowed
to answer this uh fun fact for both you dave and for the listeners just in case i haven't shared
this before once when we were on tour um we were staying in a room to never enough beds so jackson
was sleeping on a mattress on the floor and in the middle of the night my phone was over near where he was sleeping and i kind of tripped over his
shit because jackson's not a tidy man you're a messy boy and i tripped over one of his jackets
and stood on his head and he didn't wake up no way yeah once i was at a friend's house and my
alarm for some reason went off at 6 a.m my friend was full kicking me in the head to try to wake me up and I just didn't
Jack has this lovely thing where he'll set a
random alarm at any point in time
and he won't hear it
and I will
several walls
away
how do you get yourself
up if you need to get up
heaps of alarms
just heaps and heaps of alarms.
Often if I can have my phone, but also an alarm clock, that works in alternating times.
Oh, right.
Like you'd have to set up some contraption wherever you don't wake up.
Like a drill will start going into your world.
I would love that.
I would love something that woke me up by splashing water on my face.
And just the hope that that would wake me up.
Well, when you had a job where you had to wake up early in the morning you couldn't go to bed the night before you had to sleep on the couch yeah otherwise
if i went to bed i'd be too comfy to get out yeah but if i slept on the couch it was uncomfortable
enough that i was having a bad enough sleep that i'd wake up that sounds like a horrible life
all right so dad's ghost is like while i was napping Or maybe Satan While dad I was napping
Dear my brother
His brother or mum's brother
Wait what is this
His brother
My brother
I'm the ghost
My brother
Claudius
Poisoned me
And now he's banging your mum
And is the king
Okay so if we tip over dad's body
And poison falls out
I'm like
How do we know it's poison
And not just liquid brain
How long's dad been dead for
I taste some
Like he's been dead like a month.
That could just be brain.
I don't even know if it would be brain at this point.
I imagine we tip him over and nothing comes out.
Either just liquid, like just bits of decomposed body.
Depends what the poison is, though.
Yeah, that's true.
Because the poison might outlast a decomposing body.
But I just wouldn't be able to tell the difference.
No, but you'd be curious, and if liquid came out, you, Zammett, you can wait outside, I guess, because you're just wouldn't be able to tell the difference. No, but you'd be curious and if liquid came out,
you, Zammett,
you can wait outside, I guess,
because you're just going to be like,
no!
No, I'm there.
I'm just being like,
we don't know unless,
like, look,
unless Jackson Hamlet tastes it,
I don't know if it's poison or not.
What if it was something like
Dr. Pepper or something?
I'll have a lick.
Yeah.
How deadly is this poison?
Ow!
Did it take... Jackson doesn't
survive this. Now we're down to three
Hamlets. I die and become a ghost.
Wow, we're down to three, alright.
Avenge me! Shut up.
We're on another quest. We'll get to you later.
How do I avenge you?
We gotta kill Claudius.
Claude, Claude. Daddy Claude.
He put the poison there for me to lick.
But who told you to lick it?
One of you.
Me.
I said I would.
I didn't say him to lick it.
I just said I don't know if it's poison or not.
He did want me to lick it.
Yeah, he did want him to lick it.
Kill him after you find out if Claudius did it.
Alright, we'll deal with that first.
We've got to avenge.
See ya.
Alright, so Jackson would not survive Hamlet.
That's the answer there.
I ate the poison so quickly.
Next step.
We know he's been poisoned.
All right.
Because I think if I was thinking about this,
and my first go-to would be like,
I'm going to try and visit the king's grave,
and that's sad,
and I don't want to see my father like that,
but also I'd be curious.
Yeah.
I guess I'd go very CSI,
which is uncharacteristically of Hamlet.
But also...
Let's just get to a montage of you getting his fingerprints.
But I'm just thinking that in Hamlet,
Hamlet acts crazy,
and I feel like that if I went full CSI,
I might accidentally be following exactly the same path.
But now that we have the dead body of Hamlet IV
and poison dribbling out of Dad's ear, I'm going to Mum.
Yeah, you've got to chat to Mum at some point.
But what if Mum won't believe us?
Mum, Jackson IV, sorry, Hamlet IV is dead.
Jackson IV.
Well, in Hamlet, Hamlet does go to Mum and Mum's just like...
Yeah, but we've got proof now, Mumma.
Her boy died. Her boy died.
Her boy died.
Avenge me.
And while we're talking to Mum,
if there was someone hiding behind the curtain listening on,
if you heard a noise, would you stab the curtain?
No.
Without checking who it was?
No.
Yes, but I'm a ghost.
Ghost of Hamlet 4 has now stabbed a man through a curtain
and it turns out to be
whoops
the king's royal advisor Polonius
Polonius I'm sorry I'm a ghost
whoops
you gotta forgive me
how would we all get hung for that
because we wouldn't be able to explain that you did it
Jackson's killed us all
I'll just appear as a ghost in court
fucking appear as a ghost
the weird thing about the world of Hamlet is I'll just appear as a ghost in court. Fucking appear as a ghost, whatever.
The weird thing about the world of Hamlet is our dad does visit us while we're trying to talk to mum.
And we can see him, but mum can't.
Oh, no.
So, mum sees us talking to dad, who's not actually there to her.
We look a little crazy.
And now we're also talking to our dead brother that she probably doesn't know exists because we're actually one person.
I'd be like, okay.
Good point. Mum,
what's a question that you could
ask Dad that only you and Dad would know?
Good plan. Yeah, why not ask that
question? What if it was something really kinky
and sexual? That's fine. I'm fine to know
about Mum getting finger blasted or whatever.
It's alright. Dad loved
getting grim. Mum, what makes you come?
Just curious.
I should not be the one who have said that
sentence in a podcast.
Let me just ask dad whilst Polonius
bleeds to death in the corner.
Oh yeah. Holy shit, guys.
My bad.
Who gave you a sword?
I picked one up.
I found one.
Yeah, so I'd be asking a question we could ask dear dead dad,
and so we could know if it is actually dad or a sneaky Satan.
But would Satan also know the answer?
It's a skinky sex stuff, definitely.
Satan loves that shit.
Maybe we should try and get a confession out of Claudius himself, the king.
Am I right?
Yeah.
I mean, that's pretty good.
Good idea.
All right.
We kidnap him and torture him, yeah?
But what if he didn't do it?
Oh, we've just tortured a king.
Whoops.
Hey, I'm really sorry.
There's a ghost that you can't see.
I swear.
So I'm going to get a car battery.
I'm really sorry about your balls.
Surely that'll heal.
Also, time travel's real.
Yeah.
So this is a car battery.
A horse battery then.
God.
That's just a horse kicking Claudius in the balls.
Or you just tie a horse to his balls and let it run.
Hey, did you kill Dad?
Oh, no.
Oh, I just committed regicide.
Wow, his balls ripped off a lot easier than I thought it would
Does Claudius have kids?
No he won't now
You're basically
He's trying to call you his son
Trying to call us his son
Well you just tore his balls
Alas because of castrating Claudius
You are beheaded in the damn square
Yeah you're down to two Hamlets.
Hamlet three did not survive Hamlet.
Well, it's just the douche and myself left.
It's Hamlet one and two.
They got progressively worse, the Hamlets, as time went on.
Hi, Hamlet four.
I guess we avenged your death.
Did you?
I don't know if his balls had anything to do with me tasting that poison for no reason
Yeah, but I'm dead now
Oh yeah, sweet
Well you guys get to hang out in ghost heaven
and now we have to avenge Hamlet 3
I'm also being like
Avenge me
Avenge, avenge
Killed by the hangman
By the executioner
You gotta fucking kill that executioner
Hang on By the executioner? You've got to fucking kill that executioner.
Hey, but he did his... Hang on.
After his balls are torn up, is he still alive?
Yeah.
Yeah, he's just really pissed off.
He's just very mad at Hamlet 3.
But to be honest, somehow we tortured him that badly
and still didn't get a confession.
So we don't know if he did it.
Is it still the devil tricking us?
Because it'd be pretty clever of the devil to make us kill two out of four of ourselves
and ruin the king's balls.
That's a great trick.
The greatest trick that I've ever played.
Was ruining the king's balls with a horse.
Well, it's pretty clear why you didn't get a confession.
Because all Zamba did was tie a rope around his balls and then slap the horse in the arm.
Yeah, confess.
Confess!
And then...
That's so funny.
No one asked him a question.
Oh.
All right.
Maybe, what if we ask our
on again, off again
little bit crazy
girlfriend Ophelia.
Ah, yeah.
Forgot about her.
She'll probably
gall her off.
Who is also
Polonius' daughter.
We killed her dad
by stabbing him
through a curtain.
Might leave
that one to life.
We just
say that.
Does she know
we killed him?
Well, you didn't.
I did.
Oh, yeah, Jackson did. She doesn't know that Hamlet 4 killed him but You didn't, I did.
She doesn't know that Hamlet 4 killed him,
but she does know that he's dead,
and she's gotten a little cuckoo from it.
Also, we've been telling her that we don't love her,
even though we do.
Why are we doing that?
You guys playing hard to get? You guys playing silly buggers?
We're playing hard to get,
but also pretending to be a little bit crazy.
So we can get away with tearing off the king's balls.
Which didn't go super well.
We're pleading insanity.
Okay.
And that's now kind of turned our girlfriend a bit insane.
What do you think we should do?
We should probably apologize.
Okay.
But probably not confess to the killing.
Okay, so we'll apologize.
Let's go around to her place.
Uh-oh.
She's dead.
She drowned herself.
She drowned.
Oh, that's rough.
Possibly by accident accident possibly on purpose
that sucks
oh hey you're here
she gets to hang out with Hamlet 3 and Hamlet 4
hey we were dating yeah
we were the worst parts of Hamlet
or versions of Hamlet
I'm not clear what's happening
or the best parts of Hamlet
we were either the best sections of his personality
or quintuplets.
Quintuplets?
Hamlet 5 died earlier in an unrelated incident.
Also horse related.
Also bald related.
Maybe we could ask our old school chums,
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern.
What do you think?
Yeah, what are we asking them?
Hey, do you reckon our uncle killed our dad?
Yeah.
Hey, old school.
What up?
You know what?
No.
I like it.
Good.
Hey, school chums.
Hey, what up?
How are you guys going?
Pretty good.
All right.
That's good.
I just wanted to catch up.
I've had some rough times,
so it's just nice to see some friends.
I heard the king's balls got taken by a horse.
But they got the guy I heard
yeah about that
that was kind of me
oh my god
just kidding
they got the guy
anyway yeah
it's just been
a real rough time
my dad's dead
my uncle's got no balls
so my mom's unhappy
because he can't
can't fuck anymore
well yeah
he's got no balls
he just can't cum
yeah
and like it's a fresh wound so he probably shouldn't he can't fuck anymore. Well, yeah, he's got no balls. He just can't cum. Yeah.
And like, it's a fresh wound,
so he probably shouldn't.
He can go all night.
Fairly think it's made him a better lover.
I don't know.
Just give him a month or two while the wound heals.
It made him an even better king as well.
He feels a lot more sympathy for the eunuchs now.
Yeah, exactly.
Do you know how happy the eunuchs are, dude?
Yeah, finally they've got representation. It's a royalty. Exactly, it's fashionable now. Yeah, exactly. Do you know how happy the eunuchs are, dude? Yeah, finally they've got representation
for royalty. Exactly, it's fashionable
now. We're all doing it. We're all cutting off
our balls with a horse. I haven't had balls for like
a week. How long
did it happen?
I'm a trendsetter.
I'm ahead of the curve.
Rosencrantz and Guildenstein are ball-less.
Yeah.
Before we carry on, though,
here's a quick word from our sponsor.

Another chum that we could ask
is our actual close friend, Horatio.
Oh yeah, we haven't spoken to him all day.
Rude that we weren't your actual close friend.
Horatio is actually someone
we actually have already told about.
So he knows.
Okay.
He's the only one who knows.
Does he know that Hamlet is seeing ghosts?
Yeah, because he saw the ghost as well.
Hey, what up?
What was his name?
Horatio.
What up, Horatio?
He can now talk to you.
Yeah, well, I'm a ghost and he can see.
Oh, right, of course.
Yeah.
Hey, we're alive but not.
Do you know where Dad is?
Yeah. Why am we're alive but not. Do you know where Dad is? Yeah.
Why am I Horatio?
If you could see us, why didn't we go to you first?
Yeah, you seem like you've got a better head on your shoulders.
So your plan is now to die and then go speak to Horatio.
Oh, no, we're already dead.
I'm here anyway.
I don't know how to pass on. So what are you saying to Horatio?
I'll be Horatio.
Horatio, who killed Dad?
I don't know. The ghost of your father wouldn't saying to Horatio? I'll be Horatio. Horatio, who killed Dad?
I don't know.
The ghost of your father wouldn't speak to me.
Nah.
Alright, see?
Well, if you're in the room where Hamlet are speaking to dead Dad,
do you see him still? I can see your father, but he refuses to speak while I'm in the room.
Why?
That's sus, Dad.
Hang on, give me a sec.
Hey, Dad.
Why?
What the fuck?
He's trustworthy.
Just silence.
I just never liked him.
I just didn't like his smell.
Why don't you like my friends?
Look, he smelled bad.
It's probably good if you don't know.
Okay.
Why Dad's not interested.
Hey, if you see Horatio, tell him he's a prick.
Hey, Horatio.
Yeah.
This is from Dad.
I'm sorry
I've never been flipped off by a ghost before
Dad hates my friends
Even after he's dead he's trying to tell me what to do
I don't like mine
I don't know if I like dad
Well the good thing is
Both Dusha
Hamlet 1 and 2
Hamlet 1 and 2
We exist in the mortal plane
where dad no longer exists
you guys however
are ghosts with dad
is dad just constantly
breaking our balls
feel like you didn't
avenge me properly
you don't know how to
chop wood
you died
you ate the poison
you were the worst Hamlet
I at least got your
brother's balls off
okay so
it gets to the part where look I would not put on a play.
Oh, we could.
All right, well, basically, this is my theory.
I think because some actors are coming to town,
that we should ask them to put on a play
that might make our uncle admit that he killed our dad.
What do you think?
It's worth a shot.
It's a play that everyone already knows called The Murder of Gonzaga.
Seriously.
Dude, I fucking love that play.
Is that where Uncle Claude
got the idea from? Is that that play
where Gonzaga gets murdered?
Yeah, it's so good. I mean, you'll never see it coming
in the fourth act. I reckon
that I'll write in my own little bits
because I've always wanted to be a bit of a dramatist.
I've always had a flair for writing. A bit of poetry. I could write in some own little bits because I've always wanted to be a bit of a dramatist. I've always had a flair for writing.
A bit of poetry.
I could write in some bits and include a bit of poison in the ear
and then we'll just look at our uncle and see what he does.
How about, okay, so I'm very much not on board, but there is two of us.
So maybe I'll sit in the crowd with uncle.
You sit right next to him looking at his eyes.
And I'll sit backstage and make sure that these dancers stay in fucking line.
Yeah. Yeah.
Perfect.
Question.
Is there cops?
There's knights.
There's guards.
Is there a town guard?
Why don't we go to the town guard?
Because it's the king.
Hey, beheaded idiot.
Yeah.
You want everyone to be beheaded?
Yeah.
Maybe.
Hello, king.
I ate poison and I'm cleverer than you.
If everyone's beheaded, no one's beheaded.
King, I'm afraid I'm going to have to put you under arrest.
He just starts laughing.
Is there like a sheriff?
That doesn't make sense.
Pass on.
Go to heaven.
No.
All right, let's put on this little play.
Look, I don't think it's a good idea.
Yes, it's definitely not my idea, but
I don't
want to shit on your dreams, Hamlet 1,
so I will sit with Uncle.
Thank you. Does Uncle have one of those
cushions that's like a donut
so his wound doesn't...
Yeah, he's got a hemorrhoid cushion.
Yeah, poor Uncle.
Poor Uncle.
Okay, so... We're at the theatre and, oh, wow, what a fantastic piece of work. Thank you so much Poor Uncle Poor Uncle Okay so
Alright we're at the theatre
And oh
Wow what a fantastic
Piece of work
Thank you so much
I wrote this
But um
Well done
Appreciate that
What a play
Thank you
I like the original one
I'm a pretty big fan
But this is alright
I don't like the changes
Made to Gonzaco's character
Guys
Come on
I made it more realistic
And also
I put them in military uniforms
Everyone does At high school Shakespeare.
Can we get to the bit where the poison is poured in the ear?
Yeah, of course.
Wow.
What a piece of drama.
I look at Uncle.
Uncle.
Stroppy.
All right.
How did he react?
How did he react?
He's not happy.
He's like, first you rip off my balls
And now you make me watch such tripe
In the play can maybe you put in a scene
Where one of the murderer gets his balls ripped off by the horse
Just a real hammer home that point
A pantomime horse comes on stage
Like streaming blood
I forgot to say
I don't trust anyone to act my words
Other than myself
So I played the role of the guy with the poison port in his ear
Because I'm
I love realism so much
I use real poison
And I'm afraid I have also died
So we're down to one Hamlet
Who was in the crowd with Uncle
Hamlet wine was a very good method, actually.
It's great if every other liquid has been like stage liquid or whatever
and then you're just looking at it like, wait, wait, wait.
Oh, hang on.
But I was so into the role, I'm pretending to be napping.
I will not be waking up.
I will wake to nothing.
I'm watching from the crowd.
I have to wage war on theatre now as well.
You still haven't killed the hangman.
Come on, Hamlet 2. That's why you won't pass over.
Come on, avenge me, dickhead.
I haven't passed over because I don't know how.
Two out of three dead Hamlets have happened because of poison
that was so easy to avoid.
Mate, you're not an artist, all right?
Yeah, you don't know theatre.
You don't get it.
Hamlet 2. You don't get it.
You don't get getting down and licking the poison out of your dad's ear.
Yeah. To see what it was.
So, as the only Hamlet left, I guess Uncle reacts differently now because there's been a suicide on stage.
There's a lot of dead boys, yes.
Well, because you're not pouring poison in your own ear which means that
technically there's been
a murder on stage
yeah yeah
you gotta kill that guy
sadly that actor
has also been hanged
whoops
sorry about that
I made
you avenged yourself
yeah
I made him murder me
and then I avenged him
yeah
that's pretty good
that's awesome
does that also redeem
the hangman from before
cause he hung the right man
you gotta just shoot him with a crossbow after you saw this out.
Solve this murder first.
Do you reckon King Claudius did it?
Yeah.
What do you think?
He's asking Sass or he could just be his wound open and he needs to get out of the room real quick.
He's been angry and quite moody recently.
He did not like the pantomime horse.
He did not like watching the tragedy that happened to his body
mocked on the stage.
Followed by a murder.
Like, to be honest.
Actually, he wouldn't see the murder.
He'd leave when the balls got ripped off.
Yeah, that's true.
He'd be like, this is disgusting.
To be honest, if we're already mocking the king
for losing his balls in a horse-related incident,
no matter what kind of power this king has,
he's lost the power of the people.
That's true.
There is no respect for this king.
We've ruined his reign.
Old horse balls.
Old horse balls the first.
About loaded.
That'd be the first and only, mate.
Good luck reproducing, am I right?
So yeah, look Mission success
Is that what you wanted, Dad?
No, because we were meant to leave Mom out of it
But we've tarnished her name as well
How have we tarnished her name?
She's the queen
No, I'm on his side
You're an idiot, pass over
She can get it annulled
Because now they can't have kids
Because he's got no balls
She's the idiot who married horse balls
She was married to horse balls before
When he was just balls
Queen cannot divorce the king
Queen can move on
Go to heaven
I thought I was the dumbest Hamlet
I think itest Hamlet.
I think it's Hamlet 3.
And I ate poison out of my dad's ear.
Go to front court.
Yeah.
Yeah, I'd be like, hey, uncle, dad, fuck, wit, whatever your name is.
Yeah.
You killed my father.
Prepare to die.
Yeah.
Does he admit it?
Or is he just like, my balls. I had phantom pain when my balls used to die. Yeah. Does he admit it? Or is he just like, my balls.
I had phantom pain when my balls used to be.
I think at that point, so much stuff would have happened that he just cracked the shit.
Like, yes, I did it.
Fuck off.
In a way, that was the best plan of all.
Wow.
Annoyed him into submission, basically.
You know what did that?
My aunt.
Yeah.
So, thank you. You know what also did that? My art. Yeah. So thank you.
You know what also did that?
The lack of balls.
Yeah, that's right.
I did. That festering pain
in his scrotum
where his scrotum used to be.
I didn't contribute.
You figured out
the poison actually happened.
That's true.
Yeah, you're welcome.
That is, thank you.
That's when it wasn't Satan.
But then a real spanner
in the works here.
Laertes,
who is Polonius,
the guy that we accidentally killed's
son, comes to town and he wants
revenge. So he's challenged Hamlet
too, to a duel.
Fine! Have I killed Claudius?
No, now Claudius knows that you know
that he's a killer. What he's done is
he's given Laertes
a better sword than you and put poison
on the sword. And just
in case, if you win the duel
He's given you a cup of poison
So you would cheers him and drink
So he's covered all bases here
Quickly switch the drinks
Quickly dude, eat the poison
For the last month
Just been consuming little bits of poison
So you're immune
And stab yourself a little each day So so you're immune to stabbing.
Well, see, the thing is, I don't know that the poison is involved.
Sorry.
Should have told you.
We should have warned you, but really.
We were watching.
We spent too much time squabbling amongst our dead cells.
Yeah.
We were arguing about who was the most stupid.
Yeah.
Joe, you are.
No, I am.
Yeah, exactly.
That's what we said.
Joe, you have to.
Actually, no, because Uncle comes to town. Uncle. No I am That's what we said Actually no
Because uncle comes to town
Son of
Ophelia's brother right
Yes which is Laertes and Plinius' son
Yeah Laertes comes to town and be like look
It was an accident
I don't accept your duel because
I don't know
But Claudius killed my father
So should we kill him first
Then we'll sort this out
I totally understand
My dad was killed too
That was a mistake
We'll duel later
Absolutely, but first can we get revenge on Mike
Put a pin in that duel
No, we must duel now
Why?
Because, I mean, that's your beef.
He's already here. He's travelled so far.
I've got a better sword than you. I might finally win
something, okay? You've got a better sword than me.
No!
Let's use two new swords.
It doesn't have poison on it. Let's use
two new swords. Lick it to find out.
Oh, shit. Our mum's
just drunk the poison by accident
Now the queen's dying
Shit
Don't bother at this point
Mum's death's on you
Mum's death's not on me
This is your fault Airties
I'm glad I killed your dad now
Oh wait that was even me
That was you
Well let's have a fight
So are we brothers or
we have the same brain and you're operating
at a quarter brain right now? I don't know.
We never made it super clear.
All I know
is that I'm now in a sword fight, which is a
situation I didn't want to be in. Oh no,
I've dropped my sword and you've picked it up and stabbed
me with the poison sword. Hey,
this is ducked out, okay? But don't worry, I stabbed you
as well. Now we've both been poisoned.
Oh, no.
Suck it out.
Hang on.
The king tricked us all.
Let's kill the king.
But you're poisoned.
King Claudius, before you die, quickly kill him.
That's what you should do.
Quickly kill him by making out with him.
No, I'll probably just stab him with the sword.
But you've got poison lips.
Oh, poor poison lips.
I don't have poison lips.
Stab his gooch.
Yeah.
Stab him in his ball hole.
Yeah.
Shishkabob that cunt.
Oh, no.
Hey, bro, welcome to heaven.
So, now, the king's dead.
We've finally avenged him, but Hamlet, too, has also died.
Fuck!
So close.
Laertes has also died. Yes. And our mum has also died. Fuck! So close! Laertes has also died.
And our mum has also died.
Hey, what up?
Do you know what's annoying?
This ended exactly how Hamlet did, but with slightly more shish kebab.
Slightly less balls and slightly more Hamlets.
And that was the reign of old horse balls the first.
I feel like no matter what happens in Hamlet,
no matter what adventure or path you take,
it always ends the same.
Oh, yeah, everybody dies.
It's just, it seems like it's unavoidable.
I feel like this was you teaching me a lesson, Dave.
Well, that is my art.
And on that note, I've been Hamlet 2.
I've been Hamlet 4.
I've been Hamlet 3.
And I've been Hamlet 1.
And Hamlet 1, or Dave Warnicke. And I've been Hamlet one. And Hamlet one, or
Dave Warnicky. Have you got anything
you'd like to plug? Yes, a new
adaptation of The Murder of Gonzaga
that I'll be touring the country with.
He's just real poison!
Now, if you like
nerdy things like Hamlet,
I have another podcast called Book
Cheat. It's a book
club where I've read the book so you don't have to, essentially.
So I tell two guests all about it.
One of the most recent episodes was Hamlet.
What a weird coincidence.
Who was on that episode?
That was you, Mr. Joel Doucher, and Mr. Nick Mason from the Weekly Planet Podcast.
That was a fun episode.
I've also done Othello with you, Doucher.
Yes, and Matt Stewart.
I've done Frankenstein.
Yeah, that's a lot of fun.
Sorry, with Jackson and Zamet here.
I've done The Great Gatsby.
Not with us.
No, Persuasion by Jane Austen.
Oh!
There you go, a bit of highbrow stuff.
Yes.
Picture of Dorian Gray.
Yeah, all sorts of classic stuff that if you feel like you want to pretend you know what it's about,
just listen to that for an hour.
Jane will be a nice cleanse to anyone who has been made dumber by plumbing the death stone.
Yeah.
Even yourself out.
Yeah.
Do Go On also works for that as well.
Yeah.
I have another show I do called Do Go On where we take it in turns to report on a topic from history,
sometimes a biography, sometimes it's a murder, sometimes an NBA game,
and sometimes it's just the history of Lego.
Neat. So that is good fun, and both of those podcasts can be found
at planetbroadcasting.com
Thanks for being here,
Dave, and I'm sad that I didn't
survive Hamlet, because I thought I was gonna.
I died so early.
That shocks no one.
We knew it was happening.
I did what I wanted to do.
You ripped a man's balls off of the horse.
You accomplished a lot.
You made the biggest change.
I did.
