And before you interrupt me and say,
Hey Joel Dusha, I just looked at the dates,
and I'm stupid, and dumb, and an idiot,
and even though I had every intention of buying a season pass to this week's episode So head to sospresents.com for dates, times, and ticket info. And I'll see you online.
Hey everyone, and welcome to this week's episode of Plumbing the Death Star,
where we ask important questions like,
Ratatouille's bad, but what animal would be worse?
Crab We all agree
Jackson, shut your fucking mouth for a second
We have something worse to explore
Than whatever dog shit you're about to say
Joel Zammett, crab, what?
Yeah, look, first off, crab
Slimy, alright, that's gonna suck when it crawls up the back of your neck
And lands on your head
A crab is slimy?
A crab is slimy!
No, you've confused crab being wet with crab being slimy
Snails are slimy
Crabs, they're out of shell when they're wet
It's a bit slimy
So imagine that gross carapace that's a bit wet
Crawling up the back of your neck as it lands on your head.
Secondly, imagine when they dry out a bit how gross that's going to feel.
Thirdly, they're going to use their gross claws on my hair.
And I hate that.
So that's just how it feels on my head.
Can a crab...
This is a question about crabs.
Can a crab...
If it's...
How gentle could a crab be cut your hair off every time plus their little their little feet a little little stabby things
into my head that's gonna suck i hate it already hurt a lot i guess how big a crab are we talking? What level? Well, I was either thinking... Four.
Level four crab.
What?
Creepers.
I didn't realise that either.
Yeah, either a level four crab,
or I was thinking those giant coconut crabs,
those coconut tree crabs that are just huge.
And you've got to wear just a big fat beanie on your head to keep the crab from dying.
Plus, what does a crab want?
A crab wants me to borrow myself in sand
And to be wet
Dude if it's a coconut crab it wants coconuts
That's what it wants
And the terrible
Here's where your life's going to be hell
Is that the coconut crab's going to drive you over to a coconut
And then with your bare hands
Try and make you open a coconut
Just slamming into a coconut
Stop it Mr. Crab
Zabit's head's really writhy
And his hand is broken
Do you think he's okay?
I'm gonna be wet
But not a good wet
Not a good shower slash bath kind of submerged wet
I'm gonna be sand wet I'm gonna be sand wet
I'm gonna be covered in wet sand
I hate that feeling
I still can't believe you've claimed the crabs are slimy
Yeah that's gonna be throwing me off
Hey another question about crabs
Do crabs need water to be in?
I think so
So I'm gonna have to submerge myself
In a bucket of seawater
But it's seaw water it's the grossest
water what sea water yeah the worst water is toilet water we know this the worst water is
swamp water guys that's basically wet mud yeah well that was gonna say is swamp water actually
just mud i don't know i've never been in a swamp. Wow, that's a big reveal. This late into Plumbing the Death Star,
Jackson Bailey, who we all assume
lives in a swamp, reveals he has not
been in a swamp before. Never been in anything
designated a swamp. Been in wetlands
and marshes. Never been in a swamp.
A marsh, just not a swamp?
I don't know.
Would I have to be
laying sort of on my back
in the sea?
To kind of get crab a little submerged?
I'll look up a picture of a coconut crab real quick.
To just gauge where we're at.
Coconut crab and fires and spurts.
Plus the crab's gross little eyes with little stalks that go up and down.
No, thank you.
Fucking lord, Zammett.
You're going to die.
Jackson saw a picture and looked like he was going to throw up,
which is rare for Jackson.
Oh my God. Dusha, look up a coconut crab and tell me
you don't want to chuck your guts up.
They're disgusting looking.
Coconut crab.
You're going to have to wear a huge beanie because
they're bigger than your head.
Look, some kind of big hat.
Here's what you do, Zamit. You wear a 10-gallon
hat from now on.
Yeah.
So, you know, that on my head is going to suck
because it's just going to feel wrong.
Oh, yeah.
It's carapace alone is enough to drive me to drink.
And because it's controlling me, I can't drink.
What does a crab eat?
Coconuts.
It's a coconut crab.
Yeah, but apart from coconuts
Do they eat like, do they just shove
Probably just coconuts
All I can imagine is it shoving gross sand
In it's gross little crab mouth
No, so coconut crabs
Eat coconuts exclusively
The same way that apes eat exclusively bananas
As cartoons have taught me
Okay, absolutely, of course
Hey, Zammett, if you had to open a coconut with your bare hands,
how would you do it?
Let's see.
First off, I would try and rip off all, like, the husks,
you know, like the furry bit kind of thing.
First off, I'd use that with my bare teeth,
just kind of, like, really getting in there.
Oh, my God.
Then what I would try and do is try and slam it onto a rock uh-huh great
and and if that didn't work um maybe hang on i do i do have access to like a machete
you know i can use tools yeah i feel coconut crab no like i guess like remi the rat like
yeah like ratatouille's not like hey hey, hey, pick up that burning fish with your hands.
He's like, here's a spatula.
Put it in the hot soup.
Yeah, that's true.
So I feel this might be why.
Remy has read a book, though.
Has your crab read a book?
We're assuming the crab maybe is like, okay, I've read a book, A, on how to Ratatouille a guy,
I've read a book, A, on how to ratatouille a guy,
and B, the best things to do with a guy once I've ratatouillied them.
So I feel like a crab using me to get coconuts is probably beneficial.
You've got to work out what is the parasitic relationship here.
Why is this crab wanting to use me? I have hands i'm big not as big as maybe the crab i'm big
so yeah using a machete explore that your crab not only so first of all oh they're actually
hermit crabs guys i'm not i don't like that i'm learning this but then your crab also just looked
up cool stuff to do once you've ride a two-whe a guy. He's going for like a general, like, I want to do it,
but when I'm there, what's next?
And then he was like, oh, opening coconuts.
Yeah, sweet.
It's fucked imagining Zamet sort of by the sea.
Let me just paint a picture for you.
Okay.
Zamet, he's by the sea in denim cutoffs.
Of course.
Squatting down, slamming a coconut on a rock 10 gallon hat hiding
the coconut crab yeah the coconut explodes on the rock we're like what's he doing out there
terrible coconut crab claws come out from under the hat near his brow scuttle down his face grab
the coconut scuttle back up i would would drown Joel Zabit in fear.
Just trying to subtly shove bits of coconut
into the hat. Yeah, look,
I found something gross
more about... I'm learning so much about coconut
crabs that I didn't before, and it's all
not good for me.
It's bad when Plumbing the Death Star teaches you
lessons. Coconut crabs eat coconuts,
of course, but they also eat dead animals, their own body parts, and each other.
So, oh, no.
Hey, Zammett, what happened to your arm?
I don't want to talk about it.
Okay.
Zammett, why do you keep eating coconut crabs or killing coconut crabs?
Are they for you or for another purpose?
Okay. Hey, here's some other more facts. coconut crabs? Are they for you or for another purpose? Okay,
hey, here's some other more facts.
They have an amazing sense of smell,
which might explain why they're thieves,
and coconut crabs are pretty
antisocial.
That's alright. And they carry their developing
young under their abdomens.
Oh, no.
Which is now directly
pressed onto your skull.
So, I not only have a giant coconut crab controlling my brain i also have its young nestled in between it and my scalp hey do you know how coconut crabs
can live for 60 years i don't your coconut crab's gonna outlive you joel zammett at least you know
remy the rat it's dead in tow. Yeah absolutely. Wow nobody ever
explores what happens when
Remy dies. Like
Linguini can't run a restaurant.
There's no other brilliant chef rats.
Yeah but I feel Linguini might be happy.
How long does a rat live?
Briefly.
Yeah.
Not long. Two years.
So I imagine coconut crab's legs
I'm going to double down on slimy
A little bit slimy
That hard carapace
With that fur that sometimes hermit crabs
You know that weird thing they have on their little feelers
Imagine that just brushing up against your scalp
Does it talk?
Can they talk? Can they talk?
Do they talk to you?
Or are they telepathically linking?
Well, Remy the rat speaks English to other rats,
but Linguini can't understand him.
He just does mouse noises for Linguini.
Oh, no.
But he can understand Linguini to the point
where he can nod and shake his head.
Yeah.
So the coconut crab knows what you want,
but you are in the darkest.
A coconut crab has no neck.
It can't nod.
Well, you can say,
clap your pincers twice for no and once for yes.
But he might be thinking,
that's a good way for him to take his pincers off my hair
and I'm free.
Yeah.
Yeah.
How would you free yourself from being coconut crab the two-weed?
What would be your move?
I suggest a hammer.
Some kind of walnut kind of cracker to crack its giant claws.
Basically what they use to cook and eat crabs.
Oh, slowly submerge myself into a bath and just keep upping the hot water.
Yeah.
Oh, I just need to make my head wet.
You love to be wet, Coconut Crabtooey.
And then you just dunk your head in a pot of boiling water.
You know what's going to happen.
It's going to crawl down your face and you're going to just boil your head.
I'm going to scold myself.
Also, at that point, he has control of me.
So guess who's getting their hand in a pot of boiling water
just to kind of prove dominance and punish me for even trying to...
Can it read my thoughts?
I feel it can.
No, it can't read your thoughts.
I think you're okay on that front specifically.
Yeah.
Okay, you've picked a pretty bad one.
Yeah.
I've just quickly checked what temperature does a crab die.
Yeah.
Google has no answers for me.
It's a mystery.
Yeah.
A crab clearly just wants to eat, kick it sweet,
and maybe just get, like, submerged in sandy water.
So I'm going to get real wet and wrinkly
and and also my hands are gonna be very sore i don't think he's gonna improve my life like how
here's a good question and this could be our metric for whether or not this animal is a good
a two-e um how long does zamet live lifespan pre-cpan pre-crab, post-crab.
So, Joel Zammett probably has at least another 40 to 50 years of life currently.
Thank you.
Adding a coconut crab to his head, I would say four to five months.
Yeah.
And what also I'm reading here is because they are hermit crabs.
So, imagine it just kind of will use my mouth oh no as and and skull as as it's kind of home
and i feel there's going to be a transition period where i'm dead and it is going to be
controlling me and no one is going to know until i start scuttling a bit too well yeah i think
there's going to be what's going to happen is is you're gonna get coconut crab or two eat you're gonna be like zamit's he's changed yeah and then we
won't see you for a while and then one day we'll be at the beach you were always at and there'll
just be a skull with a crab in it crawling along and we'll be like we should have uh we should
have done something yeah well also the thing that might kill you Is the fact that it will probably use your Big man size to pick fights with other
Coconut crabs
That's true
So I'm guessing I'm going to be
Fighting a lot of crabs
Help
And then yeah I feel
The coconut crab will
Use my skeleton
Because it's big enough as a house
Yeah for sure Rotting flesh That's worse than Remy crab will use my skeleton because it's big enough as a house.
Rotting flesh. That's worse than Remy. That's worse than Remy. And like my
rotting flesh will attract other
coconut crabs, which means
then like it's basically using me
as a trap to lure
other coconut crabs that I will then have
to fight and eat.
So yeah, like so
this coconut crab has wiped 40 to 50 years off your life.
Yep, yep, yep.
All Remy does to Linguini is cost him his inheritance.
Yeah, and shit in his hair.
That's it.
And shit in his hair.
Just shit in his hair.
I feel the crab is also shitting in my hair.
Yeah.
One final crab fact.
What's crab shit look like?
I'm guessing sandy sandy like a paste.
What does crab shit look like?
Oh, it's cute.
That's bad.
Looks like little balls.
Yeah.
That's all right.
Yeah.
I feel like crab is is top tier worse right now
Absolutely
And now a quick word from our sponsors
Also, did you know we do too many shows across the Sandspan's radio network?
Take D&D's for Nerds, an actual play Dungeons & Dragons podcast that I'm mostly on
Never played D&D in your life?
Don't worry, up until we started, I hadn't either.
Meticulously edited by yours truly
so you don't have to hear all the faff
and math that interrupts a good fantasy
story. Each campaign is standalone
and while veteran listeners will pick
up characters, events, and places
across the seasons, new listeners
can start at any adventure.
Just search for D&D is for Nerds on iTunes
or Spotify or head to our website, sanspantsradio.com.
Well, I was thinking roaches.
So not just one roach, multiple roaches crawling on my hair.
Like a colony, I guess.
Yeah, like lice, except roaches.
Yeah, and they control my ass.
Yeah, that's right, Zama.
It's not good.
Zama just did, like, the fucking old school emoticon
that was, like, capital D, colon.
I'm not happy.
If you're too young to know what that looks like,
you can type it out on any computer.
Just hammer that capital D and then put it in a colon.
My question here with
a colony of roaches.
Are roaches
a hive mind? Or else you're
going to have a lot of roaches with a lot of
different opinions. Well, here's the beautiful
thing about roaches, Zammett, is that
they all pretty much want the same thing.
To lay eggs
and eat garbage.
And be in the dark.
And be in the dark.
We weren't even noticing you being controlled by roaches.
Man, I eat out of the trash like twice as much as I used to.
And I notice I'm not eating it.
I'm putting it on my head.
Why am I doing that?
I haven't eaten in a while.
Hmm. head why am i doing that i haven't eaten in a while i hate the light now but maybe i'm just
too lazy to turn the light on i'm willfully acting against myself now i love it when i put my head
under the fridge that's great that does, though. It is cool under there.
Yeah.
One of the things I really hate about cockroaches is I learned several years ago about cockroach milk.
Okay.
And how basically the mama cockroach will give cockroach milk to its offspring, which is like little protein crystals.
Is it nutritious?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Will I occasionally have a roach run down the side of my head
and deposit some crystals in my mouth?
I think it's only one cockroach, and then there are the big fuck-off ones,
and they give live birth to offspring, so they don't do eggs.
And then they go like, hey, here's some gross cockroach milk.
I don't know enough about science to prove that that cockroach isn't a mammal.
So it's wild that there's a mammal cockroach.
There's a great question of what does cockroach milk taste like?
Thanks, Google.
I didn't want to know.
I reckon good.
According to scientists
These crystals are like a complete food
They're rich in essential amino acids
I knew that we were going down this path
Immediately when you said cockroach milk
Jackson's face lit up and he started typing
At his computer
I was like oh okay I know where this is going
It tastes no different from cow's milk
Oh well I love milk
So maybe it's like a symbiotic response
So if they're going to keep me alive
By feeding me roach milk
Then that's okay
You feed them they feed you roach milk
You're basically like one of their children
Yeah if the roaches had given birth
To a monster baby
That would be me
How great is it to imagine we're just hanging out
And I'm like you've got to keep the lights off,
but you forget and you turn the lights on
and I try and scurry under the fridge
and just slam my head into it and fall unconscious.
I think that's a real risk that we run.
What else do roaches need and what?
I can see both of you doing your roach research.
That's good.
You need to kill a thousand cockroaches
to get a hundred grams of milk.
Whoa.
Why am I killing them?
Why are you killing them?
I thought, I thought they just made it.
Yeah.
Cockroach milk is an up and coming superfood, Jackson.
Oh, I see.
But the cockroaches are making it.
I'm not buying it from the store.
The cockroaches don't know that that's an option.
Yeah.
I'm reading now more about cockroach milk
as in if to eat to consume it.
So it involves killing a female cockroach
and her embryos once it begins to lactate.
And then harvest the crystals from its midgut.
Hey, cockroaches do have like a hive mind.
That's not good news to you.
Cockroaches display collective decision making when choosing
food sources when a sufficient number of individuals a quorum exploits a food source
this signals to newcomer cockroaches that they should stay there longer rather than leave for
elsewhere other mathematical models have been developed to explain aggregation dynamics and
conspicuous recognition so the cockroaches one a decision. They're all in on it.
The decision is let's live on Jackson's head
and feed him roach milk for the rest of his life.
Now, here's a question.
How long does a cockroach colony last?
Well, I feel because it's a colony,
it'll just kind of perpetuate.
If it's got a nice food source, i.e. whatever you're getting it,
and then maybe parts of your own body.
Yeah, absolutely.
Will it eat your skin flakes, like your hair flakes?
Surely.
And then make its own.
I'll have the cleanest scalp in the game.
No, because then they would be shitting on your head.
Yeah, I mean, what defines clean?
Because I would not define something that is full of cockroaches as clean.
But hey, maybe that's just me.
Maybe I'm just a bigot.
Yeah.
Yeah, look, I don't...
I feel...
It would be replaced by cockroaches and other things.
Cockroaches and cockroach shit.
Yeah, and cockroach milk.
And cockroach milk, and cockroach milk yeah cockroach milk
and it's like whatever they spit
how do they make a colony
I don't know why I'm thinking this but do they
like with their spit
and other things make things
like a brick
like a brick
like a brick
something's gone wrong with my brain
you know when people get together the one thing they create is a brick something's gone wrong with my brain you know when people get together
the one thing they create is a brick
you know like a wasp how they chew stuff and then they make house
yes
wasp chew stuff then make house
same thing
do cockroach chew thing make house
no cockroach
come to our house live in house
oh okay do cockroach make house
What hat should I keep
What's the ideal cockroach hat
Trucker cap
Trucker cap
They got the little hole out the back
They can leave and feed me milk
And go and explore
Trucker hat but like one of those beer ones
So they got the beers on the other side
And like a straw to your mouth
Two cockroach queens In the beers on the other side and then like a straw to your mouth. That's where the cockroach milk can go.
Two cockroach queens in either straw on the side
popping milk into my mouth
and then the main colony is on my head.
How excited would you be, Jackson,
when you can feel the weight of cockroach milk
building up in that
and you just know that you're one suck away from nutrition?
Well, I know that that's the other way I'm living.
You know what's funny is that Zamet obviously
couldn't get rid of his coconut crab because it is
a violent menace
I could just go to like an exterminator
or shave my head
I have options
bug bomb yourself
have a bar
but I've grown accustomed to the roaches
comb your hair that'll probably do it
no but we're forgetting, these cockroaches control you.
Wait, have we lost all will?
I assumed we did.
How much control did Remy have?
Not Remy.
Linguini can still do what he wants.
Yeah.
Okay.
I feel we'd, like, you know, give up pretty quick.
Oh, absolutely.
The only scary thing in Ratatouille is that at one point,
Linguini is unconscious from drinking too much.
And Remy is still able to control him.
So when you go to sleep, you'll probably start waking up in places that weren't where you went to bed.
By start, I mean night one.
What if the deal was that I let the cockroaches have me at night, and during the day i can just do what i like
you know striking a deal with cockroaches seems like something that uh just won't work for you
yeah yeah plus when are cockroaches most active night night yeah night i guess that makes sense
yeah when they don't like cool spaces they like like being in tight, warm spaces. Like my head is a tight, warm space.
In your ears?
Yeah.
Cockroaches like tight, hemmed in places where they won't be seen or disturbed.
That's my head.
No thoughts to distract them.
I guess like how my crab was antisocial, so are these cockroaches.
So I guess we're becoming somewhat hermit-like.
We're hauling ourselves up in our own rooms.
You in a room, me on a beach, away from everyone,
unless I'm trying to fight them.
Yeah.
So, yeah, look, I don't think you're doing well.
How long do I live?
Three days.
You wake up with your head jammed in a blender or something
I think you live longer
But your quality of life for some reason
Is worse
Which is baffling to both me and the audience
How's he done it?
Because I'm going to live longer because the cockroaches
Have a vested interest in keeping me alive
The things the cockroaches want
Aren't as dangerous as the things that the coconut crab wants plus you are getting
getting fed delicious uh roach milk yeah you you two would realize that it happened to me a lot
quicker than i think me and dusha would cotton on the zamit you were like hey jackson what's inside
those drinks on the side of your head and your truck a cap and I was like, roach milk? Maybe at that point you'd be like,
wait a second. I don't think
we would.
Jackson, that's gross.
Yeah.
I like all milk.
Jackson, is there
something you want to tell us?
I don't think so.
Well, because we know
that cockroach milk is like
It's a superfood
Yeah it's a superfood and apparently just tastes like milk
And the fact you're excited by that
Makes me think that if you did just start drinking
Cockroach milk I'm not shocked anymore
Yeah
I would just accept this
But surely the scale I'm drinking it on
You know
With two things on either side of my head
You like milk.
Yeah, I do like milk.
I'm surprised you haven't put milk in your coffee.
I'm surprised you haven't put milk in one of those
drinking hats already.
Oh, I have, just not when I've known you guys.
That's not shocking.
That's less shocking than
me thinking that you hadn't done that.
Well, other things
that feel is gross for me
for this cockroach-a-tooey
is, again, the little legs of the cockroaches
crawling over your scalp is quite awkward.
Yeah, it sounds itchy.
It does sound a lot itchy,
and I feel because there is more of them,
you're going to have less control somehow.
Yeah.
Like, you're going to slop right into that hive mind.
The worst part? What sound yeah the sound of zamets you can't hear for mine you just hear like a constant
yeah like of them all fucking or whatever with the crab you're gonna get that like again the
these carapace on his like claws banging with his other claws or whatever you're just gonna
get constant rote scuttling and And I imagine this colony ain't small.
No, no, no, no.
Probably every day.
Yeah.
Absolutely.
What's a cockroach larvae look like?
You know that scene in the last Star War?
Yeah.
Yes.
You know where Emperor Palpatine's got that weird computer Thing in his brain and he's like
Being paraded around like that
That but cockroaches
I feel is what is your end goal
Right now
Absolutely hey if you look up cockroach larvae
And I implore you all to do
They look like they would taste like
Gummy coke bottle
Alright you got me.
I have to look it up now.
If that looked like it popped into your mouth,
it would taste like a gummy Coke.
Yeah, I just feel that there's going to be, like,
a mound behind you of, like, broken bits of wood and dirt.
And cockroach shells.
Cockroach shells and just cockroaches just teeming everywhere
and, like, just all plugged into the back of your
Trucker cap
And you'd be like are you okay
And I'd be like I've come to like this
I think
I feel great
Better than I have in years
I'm being powered by nothing but cockroach milk
Did you know cockroach milk is a superfood
You guys
What makes me the most angry out of all of this
is that cockroach larvae do look like gummy Coke bottles.
Yeah.
They look like you could pop them in your mouth
for a sweet little treat.
You got to look them up now, Zama, don't you?
Yeah.
You got to look them up.
Delicious cockroach.
I got one thing full of cockroach milk,
one thing full of cockroach larvae and you're like is the larvae
good and I'm like no but it looks
like it could taste like gummy coke
it does look like it could
taste like gummy coke
Jackson have you ever eaten a cockroach
on purpose
by accident yeah
no I've never eaten a cockroach
but I would
yeah I was gonna say that's also surprising to me.
Yeah.
Given the opportunity, I'd go to town.
So, yeah, look, it's bad being ratatouille-ed by a whole colony of cockroaches.
Not good.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, they hiss.
Cockroaches hiss.
I forgot about this.
Jackson, what's that?
Air escaping?
Oh, wait, no, cockroaches hiss. I forgot about this. Jackson, what's that? Air escaping? Oh, wait, no, roaches.
So, coconut crab-a-tooey's bad.
Roach-a-tooey also bad.
But one thing that we haven't explored
that I wish to explore is ghost-a-tooey.
Oh, no.
Spooky.
I'm scared uh funny because the ghost wants to haunt but i don't know if you can haunt a place yeah what kind of ghost are we we're talking a haunt ghost are we talking like
an unfinished business ghost well what if it's presumably it's unfinished business ghost because
it's bonded with me i guess also or it's equally funny if it's
just a ghost that was trying to die in peace and they somehow got stuck to me you're basically
hearts and souls in it that's what i was gonna say yeah we do a classic hearts and souls yeah
we're doing a classic hearts and soul no heart and souls yeah heart and souls i'm such a fan
though of like you rent an ancient hotel
Like for the week
And it's a refurbished castle
And in the middle of the night you go up to take a piss or whatever
And you see down the hall
You, Joel Dutcher
And you're like I'm a 17th century
Sailor who died
And you're like no, no you're not
You're a man
No but
In my hat but in my hat.
Underneath my hat.
You can't see because it is a ghost.
I've got unfinished business.
I'm doing it for him.
You have unfinished business?
No.
The guy under my hat does.
Yeah.
Okay.
So I've got to go sail a boat now or whatever.
I gotta go sail a boat now or whatever
so I just feel
this is very much literally
maybe the plot of Heart and Souls
yeah but in Heart and Souls it was
a conversation
with Dusha and the ghost
but sometimes in Heart and Souls
there are some scenes where the ghost just goes in
and does it
well imagine if every scene was that Jill Zammett it's still a different movie how much unfinished business does the ghost just goes in and does it. Well, imagine if every scene was that, Jill Zammett. It's still a
different movie. How much unfinished
business does the ghost have?
I imagine heaps.
Well, I guess he's like, I got this dude. I might as well...
At what point are you like, hey...
He's starting to finish business
for his friends as well. Ebony's a cow.
I don't think that this is still unfinished
business.
I think you're just enjoying the free ride with my body.
So are they just putting their ghost hands in your scalp?
Or are they possessing you?
They're pulling on my hair.
Yeah, okay.
Are they small or the size of a dog?
It's a man.
Actually, it's probably a ghost man and his ghost dog.
Dusha, that hat is huge.
Also, maybe it's just a normal-sized hat because ghosts.
Yeah, ghosts are of any size.
That's true.
And also, you tend not to be able to see ghosts.
Ghosts are invisible sometimes.
You don't need to wear a hat, Lucky.
Yeah.
We can just see, like, man,, it's weird Dusha's hair
is being moved under its own
volition. I wonder what that's about.
Hey Dusha, have you got a new gel you're using?
Yeah, it just spikes my
fringe up every now and then and then
when it happens I stop moving
and say like, ooooh
or something. That's pretty cool.
Can you give me the website?
Why do you want that? Don't ask any more
questions.
I gotta go sail a boat.
There's a
lighthouse that I hate that I have to go
punch.
I guess it depends
on what kind of
ghost. What do ghosts want?
Apart from unfinished
business. But unfinished business could be anything. And to haunt who we haunt you you've got to seek revenge
but the person the guy died so long ago that the person you're seeking revenge on is like 90 in a
retirement home why are you attacking this old man i'm not are. No, it's this guy under my hat.
See the hair, it's spiking.
Yeah, because you've got the new gel, I know.
Yeah, dude, I get it.
Stop wailing on that old man.
The idea of marching into a retirement
home, screaming, I have unfinished
business, and then punching a 90-year-old
man square through the
face as his skin tears like paper.
I'm gonna die a hero
i mean yeah business you're finished that might not be what the news report says so how much unfinished business before you call it?
Like, or are you just happy to go along for the ride with the ghost?
Well, first of all, see, roaches, you just comb your hair or have a bath.
Yeah.
Coconut crab, a hammer, I guess.
How do you kill a ghost?
Salt.
Salt.
Jesus.
Jesus.
Yeah, have some salt, go into a church, put it on your hair.
Holy water?
Olive oil, yeah, could be.
A priest? Get a priest?
Yeah.
Dunk your head in the holy water at a church, maybe?
Yeah, just go.
I don't know.
Yeah, that's what I mean.
It's just like, I have to keep guessing.
And the first...
We get a fucking vacuum cleaner and just
put it on your head yeah that sucked up the ghost yeah did the ghost get sucked off into the vacuum
cleaner dude or are you still wanting to go to sea or what well i get one crack and if it doesn't
work then i guess the ghost is angry at me and the unfinished business becomes revenge on myself
you just punch yourself in the face a bunch and then die a hero yeah that's how i die a hero
i kill an old man and then i immediately kill myself and they're like that man died a hero
ending a wave of crime that he caused i don't i just don't think you you know i i just feel
there's a bit of a disconnect with what how you think you're going to be remembered in this scenario a hero
i ended crime killing one old man a crime wave that's calling it a bit early
crime wave one old man dead no others yeah it'd be like i feel like the papers may say murder
suicide but not me yeah i feel like the paper's like, This is a crime wave!
as you punch yourself in the face.
I guess that's two crimes.
Maniac assaults senior citizen
and then bashes himself whilst yelling the words,
I'm a hero.
Bystanders confused.
Claims to be possessed.
Claims to be ghost-a-two-eat.
Ghost-a-two-eat maniac punches old man and self
and we've only covered what the man
the man ghost wants unfinished business
the ghost dog
what's that unfinished business
this is all I know about ghost dogs
is that the way you tell you have a ghost dog
is when you're dangling
your hand by your body you feel it's cold nose on your fingers and you look around and there's no
dog so you're putting your cold nose dusha what are you doing this is the dog wants this i'm ghost
dog to eat oh um you okay what kind of unfinished business does a dog have?
Yeah
Did it not nap enough?
Eat enough meat
I guess
Didn't fuck a leg of a man enough
Yeah
Okay
So you've gone punch an old man in the face
And now you're going around
Humping legs
Trying to fornicate with our legs
Doja stop
I don't like that we accompanied you here.
Something has gone wrong.
This is not what you told us was going to happen.
What did I tell you was going to happen?
Why did you hit that old man?
In my mind, you said nothing.
You were just like, hey, boys, get in the car.
And we were like, ooh.
Mystery adventure.
Okay.
And we pull up to this retirement village.
Ooh.
Okay.
Who's who we visited here?
All you did was look at us and raise your eyebrows And we'd pull up to this retirement village. Ooh! Okay. Who's who we visited here?
All you did was look at us and raise your eyebrows and say something cheeky, boys, and we were all in.
Oh, yeah.
Jackson, you love mysteries, but if I said I've got a mystery to solve
and that resulted in me going to a retirement home,
killing an old man and then humping legs,
would that be enough that you hated mysteries from now on?
I would just be like, what was the mystery?
I think he's solving puzzles wrong.
I guess the mystery would probably be, why did I do that?
Then punch yourself in the head to death.
I don't know what happened today.
It might give me a greater love of mysteries
because I would have my own mystery to solve.
What happened that day?
What did he mean?
Two boys interrogated and be like
What happened?
And we're like, we genuinely
I don't
I genuinely don't know
Look, it's a tragedy
We watched our good friend
His fists go through a man
And then his fists go through his own face
And I know I'm smiling
I get it, it's tragic
I'm smiling
Because I don't know how to cope with this
I'm baffled I'm baffled it's exciting
but I know this might be the wrong
emotion to prove my innocence
I get it nothing in my life has set me up to deal with
this specific situation
he blames a ghost that's insane
right
he then humps some legs
I just it's just so bright
I don't understand
My last words are
I'm dying a hero
Yeah yeah yeah
He said it was a crime wave
But
I don't
I don't know who the old man was
Yeah yeah
It's all very good
Do you know who he was?
Yeah as far as I know
I would like to know
I would like to know
Yeah
Yeah
Well you lived short But It's your fault Yeah No, no, no, no. You've never met this man before? I would like to know. Yeah. Yeah.
Well, you lived short.
It's your fault.
Yeah.
Is that a ghost?
What do you mean that's not the ghost?
Oh, I guess it is the ghost.
You punched yourself in the head as revenge as the ghost.
Yeah.
But the world wouldn't know that. When Zabit dies from exposure because he's been punching crabs on the beach,
we can blame the crab
we saw the crab
when Jackson's body becomes
part of a roach colony
we'd be like oh yeah
feels boisterous
but you
I guess it's just a man's supernovas
burns out bright
but fast
I think you have a weird definition
of burning bright there
flew too close to the sun
is the sun
punching an old man
I don't I just
what is
I did it
people said I couldn't but I did it
I'm gonna be remembered forever
I mean that's true
that's true.
That's, yeah, I'm never going to forget that.
I'll be 80 and I'll be like, what the fuck was that about? As if you wouldn't be terrified when you're 80 and you're in a retirement home that the same thing is going to happen.
He's constantly looking to the door.
He's an angry man.
Was he angry?
No, I can't imagine he was.
He seemed very fine.
He had a serene expression on his face.
Now there's two ghosts.
That's the worst part.
He's just got unfinished business as well.
We're all going to get ghosted too.
The old man is now his ghost.
No, there's four ghosts.
There's a lot of ghosts.
There's the original ghost's dog, the man he murdered in JD.
A quattro ghostatui.
That's what we're dealing with here.
There's a lot of layers to this ghostatui.
There really truly is.
Can the ghost ghostatui another ghost?
Well, that's not our business.
We don't see it happening, so I'm not even worried.
Some things are best left in the underworld.
Absolutely.
So I think all in all
They're all pretty bad
Maybe getting ratatouille was the best option
Maybe a rat's not a big deal
Yeah absolutely
Considering what it could be
Christ
And on that note I've been Joel
I've been Jackson
And I've been Joel
And I have unfinished business
You did it You did it
You did it
