Sandspans Radio, horse have water please!
Hey everyone, Inia presents Plumbing the Death Star UK Tour with Adam News

This show doesn't have the same capacity as our first London show
so if you want to see

same with Cardiff, and our Birmingham show has opened up more tickets. Of course, if you did Good evening, everyone. access to a bunch of exclusive content forums and even a discord that's sanspansplus.com
good evening everyone and welcome to a very serious episode of pop me the death star
where we ask important questions like what would be the ultimate crime causing ability
crime causing power power whatever who gives a shit?
Wow.
Who's going to begin this time?
I feel like you started last time and it went wrong.
Very, very wrong. I will bite my tongue.
All right, all right, all right.
And I'll go last.
So, originally, this is a power I've had in my head for a while.
Yeah.
It was the ability where if I die, I'm instantly transported like my consciousness.
I like that it's if you die.
Not when.
If I die, I'm instantly transported into the conscious,
like my consciousness is put into the body of the nearest living thing.
Living thing is...
Anything.
It doesn't matter what it is.
Very...
What if it's...
Okay.
Could be anything.
Problem straight off the bat.
All right, let's call it that one.
My other one was going to be like it happens just by looking at someone.
Uh-huh.
But let's call it when I die. Let's call it when I die.
Let's call it when I die because that might solve some problems.
Okay, you die next to a tree.
I was going to say you die next to a tree.
Trees die eventually.
Eventually.
Yeah.
How are you going to cope?
Probably the nearest living thing next to a tree is going to be what's living in the tree anyway.
So I'll turn into like an ant.
Die instantly basically because ant ants life is real short
crawl around till I'm an ant till I find a person
die whoop I'm that person now
I feel like you're gonna there's too many living things
you think I'm gonna end up trapped in a tree pretty much
immediately I feel like
in my life I'm closer to things that aren't
trees more than I'm close to trees
and I'm causing crime with it so I go to a bank
nope what's gonna happen
is die.
Bug, bug, tree, grass.
Bug, bug, tree, grass, bug, dog, human.
I got there eventually.
And I'm willing to take that ride.
How many dogs do you know that have died closer to humans than grass?
But I'll be that dog. That's the thing. So the moment i'm in a dog i run to the city center kill myself and then i'm a
person the only way that this works is dog oh you run into traffic yeah you're like ultimately like
you blink into someone driving and i'm like all right crash the car and somebody on the sidewalk
and i'm like man that was a crazy accident.
Then I go and rob a bank.
Okay, I mean, look.
No, no, no. Because that's not an ultimate crime-causing ability.
That's just if you fuck up, that's all right.
Because you get to have another life.
Yeah, you're not causing crime.
Because if you're living a tree life, your concept of crime,
your need for things is out the window.
But I'm still me.
I'm just Jackson the tree now. Yeah, but you can't
move. You're a tree. You can't move. I'll wait
until I die. That's alright. But that's like hundreds of years.
Some trees last hundreds and hundreds. That's okay.
I'm immortal. I'm going to last hundreds of years anyway.
What I'm saying is you won't
have a need for crime because
eventually someone will cut me down
and then I'll be like,
I'm a lumberjack. And I'm like, sweet, time to do
some crime. Life would be meaningless for you. Well, I'm a tree. But I'm like, sweet, time to do some crime life would be meaningless
well I'm a tree, but I'm not a tree forever
that's the point
I will be a whole
forest
to become a man again
also
how is being a tree gonna cause crime
how is any of this gonna cause crime
crime causing ability.
Or power or whatever I said before.
But the crimes I could cause
I could do more crime
as this person.
You could cause a lot of mayhem.
I agree. You could. I could rob a bank.
Rob a bank. You could rob a bank now.
Like, you can rob a bank, right? You rob a bank.
Cops come in like, oi, stop.
You never catch me.
You get shot by a cop, suddenly you're a cop.
I'm a cop, let's take this in for evidence. You turn to your cop mate, you shoot that cop mate,
your cop mate shoots you, you're another cop, whatever.
That'd be a very funny little situation going on.
However, exactly, so you get shot, you're a cop,
you take this into evidence.
When it's in evidence, I'm like, I take it, I steal it,
stash it, shoot myself
Come to somebody else nearby
Pick up the cash, nobody can ever trace it to me
Become a dog
Be a dog for a while while the heat's on
Alright, the only way
I can see this potentially working
That you're not stuck in a tree
For so long that life becomes meaningless
And your wants and desires
Are no longer a thing that matters.
If you have constantly, while you're robbing a bank,
several hampsters on your body.
Well, yeah, I might do it with a dog.
That's like as a fail-safe so that you don't become a tree.
I'll have a bird.
Yeah, I can see that happening.
Even then, how big is your definition of living thing?
Bacteria.
Yeah, well, okay, let's make some rules.
Let's make some rules.
So I can become any human,
whatever human is near me,
any animal.
And I don't want to say tree,
but I feel like if I say trees off the table,
I'll get my chops busted.
No, you can say trees off the table.
I'm happy to say anything with a brain.
Anything with a brain.
Anything with a brain.
Anything with that level of sentience,
I'll just walk into. So that takes bugs off the table too. Yeah, I probably can't become a bug. Anything with a brain. Anything with a brain. Anything with that level of sentience, I'll just walk into.
So that takes bugs off the table too.
Yeah, it probably can't become a bug.
That's all right.
It'll choose whatever the nearest living thing to me is.
Okay, so ability to cause mayhem, high.
It causing crime, zero.
I can cause the crime with it.
Yeah, but...
Because the only crime causing power really is like a ray that you can shoot from your eyes
that makes people do crimes.
That's true.
So we've got to
choose a power
that we can use to do crime.
Look, okay. It's okay.
But that's like my power is that I can't go to jail.
That's not a power.
That's a great one.
It is a good choice. Yeah, choose that and we'll rip it to shreds. We'll talk about it. That's a great one. Choose that. It is a good choice.
Choose that and we'll rip it to shreds.
We'll talk about it. We'll discuss it, yeah.
So, I rob a bank.
Do my evidence. Be a dog with a heat song.
Then whilst, you know,
say a month's gone by,
run into traffic. Suddenly I have a person driving
a car. Drive out to where I stashed the money.
Pick up the money.
I take it on a plane.
They're like, what's all this money? I'm like, I don't know. Shoot stashed the money. Yeah. Pick up the money. Yeah. I take it across, like on a plane. Yep.
Okay.
They're like, what's all this money?
I'm like, I don't know.
Shoot me on the plane.
Whatever.
Become a passenger.
It's fine.
A lot of questions.
Okay.
What if you're like, say you're on a plane.
Yep.
And this goes down and the plane crashes.
Everyone dies.
No survivors.
I'll become whatever the nearest living thing was.
Even if that's like an eagle or a dolphin.
I'm just all of a sudden like, ah!
All right.
Okay.
Cool.
Everyone died. I like this. Go in, swo, ah! Alright, okay, cool. Everyone die.
Go in, swoop, grab some jewellery. Off you go.
The best way you've got this is by doing some
crimes, as in like robbing some banks
and just always stashing it somewhere.
Well, I assume that's it. I'm going to have to do it.
That's actually a really good plan.
Actually, here's the cleverest
way to do this. It's very easy. It's very simple.
I find a parrot.
Step one. Shoot myself in easy. It's very simple. So I find a parrot. Okay, step one.
Shoot myself in the head.
Become the parrot.
Fly to a billionaire's house.
Careen into the ground in front of the billionaire.
Become the billionaire.
Now I'm a billionaire.
Oh, wait, it wasn't to get rich.
Nope.
You're doing crime.
The only crime you did there was suicide.
Yeah, that's true.
And that is the billionaire.
Maybe I'll, I don't know, shoot some people, whatever.
Like, in terms of getting rich quick and living a happy life,
I mean, you're living someone else's happy life.
I could be the president.
I could cause war crimes.
That's a crime.
War crimes are a crime.
He's not wrong.
I could easily become the president.
You go to the president. Someone's like, it's could easily become the president You go to the president
It's weird that when that bird swooped to the president
He suddenly had a completely different personality
Not even that
You could go near a president
Have a gun drawn
Secret service take you down
Hopefully become a secret service
You get real close to the president
Hug him, shoot yourself in the head
And then you're the president
and then I can do war crimes
not great
the aim of this is to do crime
and I don't think I would be doing war crimes
I think the crimes I'd be doing would be
robbing banks
robbing banks as a president
wouldn't even need a mask
just going hey I'm the president
give me the money
I'm like, sick.
Done.
And then just shoot the ceiling.
Like, what would happen if just a president walked into a bank?
I was like, oi, give me your money.
What?
No, I'm the president.
Give me the money.
I like the idea of shooting the roof.
Like, bang, bang, I'm the president, motherfucker.
Because you're like, well, I guess you are the president.
I guess we'll give you the cash.
And I'm like, like yep that's the way
it's gonna go
hey bank teller
give me all your money
what no
no that's treason
are you ready to go to jail
I don't bloody think so
so causing petty crimes
is good
but I guess we weren't
thinking grand enough
for you Jack
no so I decided
to become the president
and then when I'm tired of being the
president, I'll become the queen.
And cause
royal crimes. I'm just going to be like, as the president,
I'd really like you
to find me one of them migratory seabirds
that goes across.
They're like, uh, okay.
Become that.
I'm like, they're like, oh, we got the
president this migratory seabird
I don't know why he wanted it
Thank you
I fly away
as the seabird
The USA is in tatters, the president committed suicide
I fly to the UK
After all those war crimes
I guess the president
Land on the queen
in the ground at the queen's feet She's like, gracious And I'm like, yeah, good, now I'm the president Land on the queen In the ground at the queen's feet
She's like gracious
And I'm like yeah good now I'm the queen
Do some more crime as the queen
I'm unstoppable
You can't bring me down
No matter what superheroes are out there
Or anybody
I'm unstoppable
Imagine this is taking place in a world with other superheroes
You could become them
Oi Superman
Oi come here
Actually
If I'm in the DC universe
I'm in trouble on that front
Because Superman doesn't kill
And Batman doesn't kill
It's more likely that Batman just drops me off a building
And I'm like ah my legs
I guess I can just bash my head into the concrete.
You can cyanide tablet yourself until you're one of them.
Oh, that's great.
You know the classic, like, Batman pushes you up against a wall
and then I'm just like, he's like, and then I'm Batman.
Yeah.
And I waggle my cock everywhere.
The thing is, like, now you're Batman,
but Batman is just a guy with money.
Yeah.
So ultimately, I guess you want to be like,
oh, where's Superman at?
And then he's like battering himself in the head.
And I'm Supes.
And I'm like, sweet.
Nothing can kill you but kryptonite.
But so whatever.
Honestly, I guess at that point,
it'd be about finding the most powerful thing in the universe
and becoming that.
Yeah.
That's pretty good.
Is there a way to take me down?
If you become Superman, putting you in isolation somewhere.
Just say, get the DC superheroes
off the table.
Because that's something we're going to have to think about.
A weakness for you is the total annihilation
of the human race,
but then also of the animal race.
I guess scorched earth
is having a go at you.
That's how you end me.
An entire apocalypse is what's needed to take me down.
If someone can figure out
what you're doing,
which is going to be hard.
Oh, brain dead.
Not brain dead,
but like incapacitated.
Make me a vegetable.
You're right.
Fuck.
And then you die of old age.
And then I'm like,
dickheads,
that was rude.
How dare you.
The only thing I can think of
is getting you stuck in a room.
Now my reign will...
You think you can take me down?
I guess if I'm in, like, the DCU,
then they just have to plop me in another immortal.
That's the only way to do it.
In an immortal, cut off that immortal's head
and put that immortal in a jar somewhere.
Actually, I don't want to be Superman.
Superman's going to...
I'd have to change, get a bit of kryptonite,
just jamming it into my brain
I feel like I need to be put in like a
Any telepath might be hard
Like they might be kind of like
Put you in a telepathic prison
Oh true
Freeze you?
Yeah but then that's the thing
I'll die eventually
The only way to keep me to kill me
is to keep me alive yeah but cryogenically frozen does that count as dead in comic books that
usually doesn't that's true oh that's true so the thing is they always imprison you with a way that
you can't kill yourself yeah yeah but eventually i'll die a lot and even with cryogenic freezing
it just means that 10 million years in the future i I'll die or I'll de-thaw,
and then I can just keep causing mayhem.
I reckon cryogenically freezing would just shoot you off into space
and then you're some other prick's problem.
But also how far does it work?
Because the closest living thing,
it just slingshots your consciousness back to Earth.
I'm back, and also there's no intelligent life on other planets.
Damn. Imagine you're just in the middle of a board meeting you're really like not really listening
so I was like ma ma ma ma ma
and then just somebody across from you half asleep is just like
I'm back
there's no intelligent life on other planets
flip the table
bang shoot yourself
what the fuck
I'm back and just run out the window.
Because you just smack into the ISS.
ISS?
ISS, yeah.
International Space Station.
You'd be like, bang, I'm an astronaut.
The world's governments are like, oh, we got rid of him.
And then there's just incoming from the International Space Station.
Good one, dear cats.
Can't stop me.
You tried.
Well done.
A for effort.
However, I'm back.
Now I'm going to crash this ISS into fucking Earth.
And it wouldn't matter, because I'd just be like,
whoop, into a nearby deer and run away.
And imagine this.
You're like, we've got to take him down.
We've got the technology.
And I'm like, fuck, I'm on the run.
All I've got to do is kill myself near a a deer join a herd for a couple of years yeah you're immortal
and a monster there's no stopping you and the thing is like also well with crime fighting if
you could be bored of that you could just become a wolf and cause wolf crime yeah exactly be a
hassle to the wolf pack i could become a wolf for like a hundred... I could become a wolf or be a wolf for a century.
Yeah.
When everyone's forgotten I ever existed
and then I just pop back into existence.
Yeah.
A wolf comes into town.
People are like, what's that wolf doing?
Wolf puts its head in a bucket, drowns itself.
Perfect.
They're like, what in the name of God?
And then someone nearby is like, I hated being a wolf.
I'm back to a human.
And they're like, oh, no.
The elders spoke of this.
What's your name?
I don't know.
Jackson.
Yeah, Jackson.
The forever man.
The immortal Jack.
I feel like the only weakness you could possibly have
is if multiple things died exactly the same moment.'s jump into the nearest one jump into the next nearest like is
it like i think they just call you like forever yeah i was thinking forever is a good name but um
like be wary of the forever we're wary of forever what's the forever we don't remember we just
remember that our ancestors told us to worry about him and i'm like yes i was a jackal in
egyptian times and i've been a jackal ever since, till now, when I'm a man again.
I've been a jackal forever, except for now, where I'm a man again.
No, he's like, I've been a jackal forever.
Shoot yourself in the head.
Continue that sentence as the next person.
Shoot yourself.
He'd just be like, I'm terrified of this, whatever this is.
Oh, my God.
I'm going to be you soon.
Bang.
Then I'm them.
Good intimidation, like, before you become be you soon. Bang! Then I'm them! Good intimidation
before you become someone.
Yeah, I think my only problem, the real
weakness for me is boredom.
Nah, another weakness. Oh, no.
This is a comic book trope.
But if you come up against someone
who has a stronger
mind than you. That's
true. Telepaths are my weakness because
I'm like, shoot myself in the head. My consciousness
rockets forward to theirs at the same
time they put up a mental barrier.
Or like you enter their consciousness like well you're now
in my home turf, dickhead.
Lock me down. Lock you down.
Like if you try this in the Marvel Universe
it'd be simple like, oi, oi, you
bald fuck. I've got
you now. Bang.
I'm going to trap you little pipsqueak. You little piece, boy. But I'm a... I've got you now. Bang. There you go. I'm going to trap you, little pipsqueak.
Little piece of shit.
You think you can become me?
Fuck that.
I'll become you.
Xavier shoots him in the head and becomes like...
But here's the fucking beauty of it, Sam.
Say I dive into Jean Grey.
And Jean Grey's like, I'm locking you down.
She locks me down.
That's fine. But Jean Grey's like, I'm locking you down. She locks me down. That's fine.
But Jean Grey is not immortal.
Eventually Jean Grey dies of old age and I'm like, well, that was a rough 70 years.
You've made like a worse version of the Shadow King.
Who's the Shadow King?
Which is a Marvel villain.
Yeah.
Basically does it.
Xavier shuts him down, but then he's like, oh, get out eventually, dickhead.
I'll just wait till you're dead and then I'm back
I think my real weakness
is that eventually
I'm just gonna be like
whatever
I'm just gonna live
a regular life
he's like whatever
I'm just gonna be
oh look at that
I'm Superman now
hey I'm gonna do good
yeah I'll do good
for like 100
200 years
300 years
do bad for a bit
yeah
I like the idea of
Xavier though
just taking your consciousness
in like a bowl
and fucking you off
I'll put you in like a statue something that can't die yeah I like the idea of Xavier just taking your consciousness in a bowl and fucking you off.
I'll put you in a statue, something that can't die.
Yeah, you've got to put me in an immortal, basically.
Put me in something that can't kill itself when you're good.
Oh!
Superman.
Get a bloody kryptonite shiv, give him a lobotomy.
Put me in a lobotomized soups.
Unstoppable Yeah
That's a good way of doing it
I don't want to be forever, I want to be unstoppable
Unstoppable's a great name
That is a good name
We just figured out how to stop me, but I want to be unstoppable
Until now I've been unstoppable
To take out unstoppable, you've got to do some horrendous stuff
Yeah
Or just find an immobilized immortal
You're going to have to basically
lobotomize an immortal for you to then
um, yeah.
Randall Savage. Grab Randall Savage, give him a lobotomy,
chuck me inside. I'm good.
But hey, eventually the world will end, one way
or the other. Then I'm back.
Yep.
There's no stopping you.
There's like,
delaying you. You could delay me for a hundred years
You could delay me for a million
And I'll come back eventually
And the thing is like
With Randall Savage
Or someone like that
Yeah sure
We've like
Say Xavier
Like I'll put you in a statue
It's now living
Ha ha
Done
He dies
And then like either
That statue breaks
And in a sense
Kills the statue
Or someone
Another powerful psychic
After all this has done
We're talking several generations There's no records Of Unstoppable And then some like and in a sense kills the statue. Or someone, another powerful psychic, after all this has done,
we're talking several generations,
there's no records of Unstoppable. Nobody remembers Unstoppable.
And then some guy comes like,
oh my god, there's a sentient thing here
in this statue, reaches out to you,
you're like, oh help me,
I've been trapped by some evil man
this whole time.
A little bald gremlin fuck trapped me in here.
Yeah, help me free me.
Yeah, he's like, oh, definitely.
And then I'm like, sweet, into him, kill myself, and I'm back.
And you're back.
And then the only person who knew you was trapped in that statue was that guy you just killed.
Nobody ever even remembers.
It's good.
It's terrifying.
Yeah, can't take me down.
Can't stop me.
Can't bring me down, Bruce.
Do you sure you got anything that can top this?
I don't think I can top this.
Well, again, like, I guess he's
causing crime, but, like, it's not, the power
itself isn't causing crime, so I can probably
win this one on a technicality.
Excited.
See, like...
Please just be the man who can't go to jail.
That's the best fucking power there is.
Cops are like, you're under arrest for robbing a bar oh wait no you're not fuck that's right well i was thinking about that
earlier then i also like the idea of like riot vision which is basically just like laser vision
except you just look at people they riot that's cool and riot vision is a great name it also
sounds like the kind of place you could get a used TV from.
And I like that.
So you just wander through streets looking at people,
causing them to start looting and hitting their friends?
He said, I'm safe unless I cause them to riot too close to me.
Or look into a mirror.
Uh-oh.
No, I can turn it on and off, like Superman's laser eyes.
That's why I said laser eyes and not x-ray vision.
It's Superman rules, not Scott Summers rules.
Yeah.
All right, so...
Even then, sunglasses.
Where are you going?
Like, what's your modus operandi?
A protest.
Oh, so you're going to cause, like, global mayhem.
You find a massive protest taking place.
Just start looking. Yeah. Like, maybe the next... You don't have to go to a protest, mate. Just go to, like, mayhem you find a massive protest taking place just start looking
yep like maybe the next you don't have to go to a protest mate just go to like a mall
the vatican everybody oh no you could you could have it like off you get on a plane
you travel to the vatican you wait till the pope's giving a speech give him the look the pope
right that'll be the headline. Pope riots.
Vatican in Tannis.
Look at everyone else.
Everyone else riots.
I think the best use of your ability, weirdly, is as a spy.
So imagine it's World War II.
You're working for the Allies.
Wait, who's good?
The Allies.
Not the Axis. You're working for the Allies. Do sure. Okay, you're working for the Allies. Wait, who's good? The Allies. Not the Axis.
You're working for the Allies. Do sure.
Okay, you're working for the Axis.
You're working for the Allies and they're like,
we need to get out good old Adolf.
You're like, that's okay.
All I gotta do is look at him.
Look at Adolf.
Adolf riots.
Germany's morale plummets.
You're a war hero.
Is it looking at one person riots
or can you look at several people in a riot
Because a riot is not one person
How many people can riot at once
As many as I want
How long does it last
24 hours
That's good
A 24 hour limit is good
Although I feel like people would be dying of exhaustion
After 24 hours
Also imagine the first person to come back from that So it's kind of like the end of Kingsman 24 hour limit is good. So, yeah. Although I feel like people would be dying of exhaustion after 24 hours.
Also, imagine the first person to come back from that.
So it's kind of like the end of Kingsman.
Yeah.
Yeah.
At the end of Kingsman, what happens?
Like, is it brain trip?
Is it a chip in their brain or whatever, or not in their brain? The signal that goes, everyone just rage.
Yeah.
Oh, okay.
Everyone basically rages and people try and kill babies.
So you basically made like
A 24 hour zombie apocalypse
Yeah
That's very scary
And also
The best part is
Hitting the 25th hour
When everything goes back to normal
Everyone just calms down
But
But they won't
Because they're already raging
And like
The good thing is
You only have to get like
Four or five people
That's how like riots work
One or two people happen
And then the rest just follows suit
Everybody We Because you might be like I only got like four people But like. That's how riots work. One or two people happen and then the rest just follow suit.
You might be like, I only got four people but fuck, everyone's rioting and that's sick.
There's a riot happening and I've been
involved. All of a sudden I don't feel like rioting anymore
but I look around and the riot's still going.
I'm going to be like, I just need to fight to get
out of here. In many ways
would that just start an unstoppable
riot? And then I'd just pop
back up, look at everyone again
There you go
Because it would be staggered
Which means that it would kind of keep going
Yeah
So yeah, a Pope's speech, the President's inauguration
Two classic events to a
The Olympics
Oh no
You're like, look at one of the javelin
Instead of drugs, just turn around and Skewer the at one of the javelin people. Instead of driving, just turn around and skew with the other people
in the javelin competition.
Any sporting event, like baseball, AFL.
The AFL grand final that often has 96,000 attendees.
And all of a sudden they're riding.
Does it work through media as well?
I reckon it does.
Pop up on the board like, hey fellas.
This is your 90s fucking reboot here
where you go viral.
Oh, yes.
It's like anyone who watches this video
goes absolutely crazy.
You're like, what's this?
Ah, I'm right.
And also like another positive...
That's when you enter the cyberspace.
Also another positive is I still get to die.
So that's nice.
That's true, you don't.
My life ends.
Yeah, mine keeps going.
Sometimes I'm a statue, but that's fine.
What's the distance?
So is there like...
I feel like that...
Is it you have to look at someone or lock eyes with them?
I feel like eye contact. Okay. So yeah, someone or lock eyes with them? I feel like eye contact
So yeah, lock eyes, but then also like media
That's fine
Because I was going to say, you could just get up somewhere very high
And look at the city
Yeah, that's why
I don't want to be unreasonable on someone else in this episode
What?
What did you say?
Did somebody salty their loss?
You are causing, that's literally your power,
is causing crimes to happen.
You're not causing mayhem.
You could destroy a city, though.
Yeah, easy.
Easily.
All you have to do is not turn it off for a day.
Yeah.
And wander down the city streets,
and all of a sudden that city is in chaos.
You're very easy to stop, though.
I mean, if they just find out who's causing it,
but then like...
How?
Also, like, also... Oh, like, doucher.avi, it's your face. Yeah, though. I mean, if they just find out who's causing it, but then, like... How? Also, like, also...
Oh, wait, doucher.avi, it's your face.
Yeah, easy.
But then also, like, the police come and try and arrest me.
I just lock eyes with them and guess what they're turning on.
If I wear sunglasses?
No.
Nah.
A bla...
Daredevil.
Daredevil's gonna fuck you.
Yep.
Daredevil's gonna get you.
Maxie, you are a Daredevil villain.
Yeah.
If I've ever heard of anything, that's a Daredevil villain. Daredevil having to fight his way through a daredevil villain If I've ever heard of anything
Daredevil having to fight his way through hell's kitchen
As everyone's riding
For some reason I've always imagined you
Since you started talking about this
Looking like your classic blind guy
Do you know what I mean?
Like black sunglasses, cane, long black
For some reason
Filch from
Harry Potter?
Like that, but like doucher version of filch.
Like long hair, but in like a duster, like trench coat style.
Just look at all the stuff.
The way we'd discover you would be that somebody would be looking through all of these recent riots,
and in every riot they would see this one person standing there,
and they'd be like, I think he's never rioting.
In all these photos, everyone else is rioting,
but this guy's always at the center and he's just standing very still.
Then they'd be like, Daredevil, you're blind.
You get him.
I'll be fucked by Daredevil.
Yes, 100%.
I think Daredevil's going to get you good.
Like, he'd have to get you somewhere private.
If you're staying in crowds,
Daredevil probably will never be able to get to you
because you can just look at everyone around you.
Yeah, but he'll pinpoint.
That's the arc of Daredevil. He's got to try and find. That's just Daredevil probably will never be able to get to you because you can just look at everyone around you. Yeah, but he'll pinpoint. That's the arc of Daredevil.
He's just got to try and find...
That's just Daredevil.
He's got to find...
So he'd have to, like, fucking listen to everyone's heartbeats
to hear who isn't raging and be like,
why is that one man just gone?
It's going to be a good, like...
It'll be a good arc.
Yeah, I agree with the shit out of that.
Daredevil Riot or whatever you call it.
That's a good name, Daredevil Riot.
Daredevil Riot.
Marvel, if you're listening. Marvel, if good name. Dead Evil Riot. Dead Evil Riot. Marvel if you're listening.
We know you are.
I'm not sure who your villain is.
Or your hero is. It's probably Superman.
Really?
I remember some bullshit like Captain Fate.
No, I can't remember. Booster Gold?
Booster Gold!
No, because there's
Batman. I think it was a Batman thing thing where there was someone who couldn't die.
Or like every time they died, they came back to life or whatever.
So he put them in a thing that just left them in like permanent agony.
So they weren't dying, but it was fucked.
I think it's a Batman comic, but I think it's one of those one like,
you know, this Batman multi-issue.
No, no, not like Elseworlds.
Sometimes Batman just ends up fighting fucked villains for, like, six issues that never turn up again.
Like, you fought a guy that was trapped in one of those old divey, you know, those old timey divers?
Oh, yeah.
You fought a guy who helped build Gotham.
And then he got trapped in one of them forever.
And he was recently unearthed.
That's like an arc.
Sure.
But it's that kind of thing where you can just imagine Batman looking at all of like
the newspaper articles from being like, who's this?
This is just random.
Either that or if you're doing Marvel, it'd be some kind of like space eternity and all
that kind of bullshit.
One of those cosmic ones.
Cosmic ones where they're like, oh, it's just a guy.
Yeah, it's just a dude.
I never imagined myself as like some kind of like I'm human.
Yeah.
Yeah. I was You were
Yeah you're not that anymore
Until whatever I am now
Max even the Marvel Universe
Would you just end up
Popping into like eternity
Oh shit
Oh shit
Like those giant
Cosmic beings
How
Can I be Galactus
Like yeah
That's great
All I gotta do
Is put myself in like a cannon
Fire myself with Galactus Galactus being like puny humans.
That's not going to...
Oh.
And I'm Galactus now.
I'm going to eat the planet.
Hey, laughed at me there.
But then like...
But then I'm no...
Well, I mean, I've eaten the planet.
But if I just fuck off to space, then you guys are used.
I feel like you might run out of life.
Like, because especially the idea that there's no like life in space. I think Galactus eats a planet. You're just like, oh, if I die now, I'm in strife. run out of life. Like, because especially the idea that there's no, like, life in space.
I think Galactus eats a planet.
You're just like, ooh, if I die now, I'm in strife.
But there's life.
Oh, what if there's no life in space?
If Galactus is real, then, like, yeah, there's really life in space.
That's a kind of the Marvel comic would be like,
something's coming from one end of the universe,
and there's this terrible, it's called the Unstoppable.
We can't end it, and then they find me, but I'm just some dude. they're like there he is that sounds like dooms the superman doomsday but wrong
doomsday but not intimidating because i'm just like a nano and i'm like yeah hey i'm a nano
they're like this is a nan then i shoot myself in the head and become booster gold yeah no wait
death super whatever that fucking yeah yeah they're at start at one side of the world and
superman's like,
gotta stop this fucker
before he fucking levels my city.
Oh, I'm dead.
Yep, yep.
That's how it'll go down to the one.
But he also dead.
Everyone's dead.
Everyone is.
What about you?
Well, initially I was thinking like,
I've always loved the idea of Cancer Boy.
Yeah, okay.
As in just the ability to give someone cancer.
And it's nice of you to try it out in like 2011.
Yeah, yeah.
Got me good.
Just be like,
oh, what's that? Jackson, show me your balls.
Ha ha, deal.
And it would be a nice idea to be like,
if you're robbing a bank, just to be like,
if you don't get the money, guess what?
Stage four cancel.
You're going to get called out.
Someone's going to be like, fuck off.
Go get scanned.
It's a long con.
I agree.
But I feel like That's not immediately
Threatening to the police
So
It's dead
The forgettable
Okay
So
You just forget about me
Don't you
That's a good one
And a scary one
Like no matter what happens
It's gonna be the silence
From Doctor Who
Yeah in a way
So you're like a blank spot
In everybody's mind
Everyone can interact with me
They can Like oh my god you're there And they have in everybody's mind Everyone can interact with me They can
Like oh my god you're there
And they have a chat with me
Or whatever it is
I can explain to them
Like when you start looking at me
I won't exist
You'll forget that I was ever
It's just one of those things that happens
So yeah that's legitimately the silence
Yeah but like a friendly one
Doesn't look like a grey
Yeah
Just looks like a dude
Yeah
Alright
So you're just a man
But every time someone stops looking at you
They forget you're there
Yeah
That's gonna be spooky That's very scary What are you a crime Well I mean you're crime Anything Could, but every time someone stops looking at you, they forget you're there. Yeah. That's going to be spooky.
That's very scary.
What are your crimes?
Well, I mean, your crimes could be anything.
Yeah.
I'll steal. What about CCTV footage?
Actually, like, I wouldn't care because, like, I don't need money,
so I'll just steal everything.
CCTV footage is kind of the same thing where people are like,
that is a, you know, they look away.
Yeah, the kind of thing where they're like, okay,
we've got to check the CCTV.
You're going to get stuck in loops.
They're going to be like, I see him.
Okay, let's check that CCTV footage. I see like i see him okay let's check that cctv footage i see him all right let's check that cctv footage
how are people gonna deal i like the idea because yeah if this this is just reminding me he's a
doctor who and the doctor goes real dark with the silence because he's like everyone's gonna forget
this on tv but it'll be burnt into their memory. He's like, if you see the silence, kill them. Just do not
hesitate to murder
them. So it's just funny that like
everyone they see... Whoa, why?
Ow! Stop punching me in the face!
But the benefit of this, the silence has been around for years.
Yeah. So, but damn it's...
I'm assuming you've got a human lifetime. I'm just a guy.
Yeah, so... I mean like...
Nobody's gonna have time to recognize
that something is amiss. Yes. Before they... I mean like Nobody's gonna have time To recognise that Something is amiss
Yes
Before they
I mean like having
Like a fulfilling
Like human life
Is gonna suck
Cause I just can't
I can't have any
Like relationships
You can't ever
Have a relationship
With another human being
That's gonna be terrifying
Yeah
Like I might
Just
Your life's gonna suck
But crime I can do
Yeah but
It's like crime
With no meaning
Yeah
I'm so sad
Here's the fucked thing
Because we were saying that
Oh look like the doctor what he encounters the silence all the time
So he's in a position
Any person that you spend a lengthy amount of time with
Like is going to eventually realise
By what they're not seeing
That you know what I mean
So like the person you love
So like imagine you find
A lovely person you fall in love with them You So like imagine you find a lovely person,
you fall in love with them.
You're like, we've spent like a whole evening together
and I've not looked away once so that you've not forgotten me.
But then they look away, but you're like,
I'm in love with this person.
So you do it again and you do it again.
And eventually you're like, this is happening right down
somewhere on your body.
And then they do, but then they're like, he's wiping my,
this is not okay.
I'm like 51st dating myself, but also mementoing myself.
Yes, it's a perfect mix of an Adam Sandler classic and a Guy Pearce classic.
The perfect melding of the two that we've all wanted.
Everybody's been waiting for those two to collaborate on a superhero based tragedy.
I could probably do a lot of crimes,
but I think it's going to be one of those things
where, like, what is going on?
Like, what do I even want?
Because I don't need money,
because I could just go in,
anything that I need, we'll just grab.
Wait, wait.
Yeah?
You can't, though.
So, say you want to rob a bank.
Yeah.
Like, people will forget you,
but if the cops see you robbing the bank,
they still might just shoot you.
Well, that's true.
But then like the person needs to set an alarm.
They're like, someone's like, I'm going to give you the money.
Oh, look, wait, press the button.
Wait, why am I pressing the button?
And the cops turn up and they're like, what's going on?
Do they remember?
No.
You probably haven't.
Well, you have.
I'm pointing.
So this is really good for listeners.
Zamit, you've worked in a place that would have had a silent alarm before.
The whole thing is like, you wouldn't break eye contact when you press the alarm
because then people know what's up.
But eventually you'll have to.
But eventually you'll look away.
Or duck.
Honestly, you could just kind of...
What if I can hear you?
So if you're talking, but I can't see you.
No, I feel like it needs to be like...
It's got to be visual contact.
But that's fucking scary then.
Where do I think the voice is coming from?
A ghost?
Terrifying.
A podcast.
Yeah, so if I say I'm looking at you, I look away, I don't remember you, I look back, do
I remember that I've seen you previously?
Well, I don't know.
That's a good question.
That is a good question.
What do you think?
I think no.
So it's like i'm meeting you
again for the 50 first dates in memento yeah just to be like hi we've had this conversation before
um yeah look my yeah it's the same as silence and you just figured you figured about me i'm
very forgettable so i'm a daredevil villain jackson's a batman villain or bruce de gold
villain you're a doctor who villain why is the doctor after me i'm doing anything wrong
i'm sure i'm causing lots of crimes but these are like human level crimes villain. You're a Doctor Who villain. Why is a doctor after me? I'm not doing anything wrong.
I'm sure I'm causing lots of crimes, but these are like human level crimes.
You don't give a shit. Doctor Who doesn't stop bank robberies.
Nah, I mean he should.
He probably should. He should be very good at it.
Real good at it. Like they'd be running out of the
bank, all of a sudden they're running into the TARDIS and the doctor's
like, guess where you're going? Jail.
So how do you take
down the unforgettable?
The forgettable.
The forgettable.
The forgotten, whatever you called yourself.
I forgot your name.
So you've got a clever name, but like no one's going to remember it.
So who cares?
You can call yourself fucking asshole face.
Hurtful.
Just mean.
Rude.
Yeah.
How do you?
We called you the riot.
That was kind of nice
The quiet?
Oh the quiet
The quiet's nice
The quiet's alright
Eventually
Quiet riot
Great band
Quiet riot
Unstoppable
So eventually
They're not a great band
Anyway
They're a bad band
Eventually you're gonna have to
The only way you could take you down
Is if you remembered that you existed
And no one's gonna remember that you exist
So just old age?
Depending on the crimes that I'm doing.
Because clearly robbing a bank is not something that the forgettable,
the quiet is going to do.
It's going to be after the other crimes.
So it's going to be like just taking things that like isn't money,
but it's like say like, you know, something that I want.
Because like I could live in someone's house.
They wouldn't even know I was there.
Jesus.
Spooky.
We could be living with one right now.
I think Ghost is a good name for you.
Ghost.
So you'd be taken out basically by somebody just connecting those dots.
Yeah.
But then why would you?
No, you're going to get taken out accidentally by like committing a crime.
Someone just shoots you on sight.
Yeah.
Or just gets spooked.
Like that's it.
Or like. Hit by a car. Yeah, I'll just get spooked. Like, just like, that's it. Or like
hit by a car. Yeah, that's so sad.
People forget you're
crossing the road. Oh my god,
how could you just get hit by a car and no one will ever
know you existed?
That's true, but like, there's
some problem with like, you know, Riot might get, you know,
got by his own Riot.
You're in the middle of it.
Not necessarily, but. The only one that's unstoppable is, well, you.
I like the idea of becoming the two of you.
Yeah.
I'll infer, because I got the time.
You do.
Like, you both exist.
I'll come up to you.
You'll riot me.
I'll get caught in the riot.
Oh, no.
Riot's a real good villain to fight the unstoppable,
because you basically just put fodder in front of me.
Like, I'll never reach you that's good and you i'll never remember you exist to kill myself to become you good sentence oh what what's fucked up is that if i saw you killed myself forget you exist
become you don't know your power get real confused everyone's like why
why does no one remember me and once you get that power where's the power is it my body or does it
then become you oh no like is that something you acquire oh do you like end up kind of silering
this to like you know you collect the powers of the people you then possess because if so that's
kind of scary to combine the three of our powers.
It took me so long for a second that I'd be like,
Scylla, Scylla, fuck.
Heroes.
I basically, if I had all three of your powers
from collecting them and becoming you,
I'd just be like an unstoppable chaos machine
that nobody can remember and no one can kill.
Yeah.
We should team up.
We should.
Ah, you'll die.
Yeah, your lies are like blinks. Yeah, we'll die. You won't remember me. You'll We should team up. We should. Ah, you'll die. Your life's like blinks. Yeah, he'll
die. You won't remember me.
You'll cause a riot everywhere
we go. You'll be like,
I'm doing this by myself. I'm like, I'm here too.
Rude. Again.
I like the idea of you being rude. Riot, the two
of us will take it. We'll rule
this world. Guys, I'm here too. Ah, shit!
Who the fuck are you? Hey, Zammett,
how are you gonna travel places?
Uh, just hop onto a plane.
How? Just walk.
Nah, cause people, like,
cause you, I was thinking, like, if you bought a ticket
they'd just be like, who?
Actually, but you just walk.
We kind of, we don't paper,
we, we don't, we almost
paper scissors rock each other. It sucks.
But you're very good at fighting the two of us
Because the ghost or the silencer
Hush up or whatever his name is
A second
Hush up a second
Because a crowd is your kryptonite
Because somebody will be looking at him at all times
And a riot is an angry crowd
You're in bloody trouble my friend
Plus especially if you look at him All you need to do is look at him once is an angry crow. You're in bloody trouble, my friend.
Plus, especially if you look at him,
all you need to do is look at him once,
but then you're like a ghost amongst the riot.
That's cool.
I think that'd be probably good,
in terms of crime, a murderer.
You'd be an excellent murderer.
Definitely.
I like that murder was just assumed.
Yeah.
That's part of the deal.
It's part of the package.
Like in terms of,
the thing is like,
again, it comes with that same problem I have with you, Jack.
It's like, what are your wants and needs?
Because you become so alien that you don't necessarily have the same desires that humans have.
And I've become so alien because I'm no longer inside the bubble of humanity
that like, why am I killing?
Is it to feel something?
Or is it because usually it's like, oh, I've hired muscle or hired killer
to grab the money to kill someone.
But I'm like, I don't need that money.
I don't need that.
You'd grow up so wrong.
When did your power manifest?
I don't know.
It has to be like with teens.
It's a mutant thing.
Yeah, I imagine.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Because otherwise.
Or some weird accident.
Oh, that's real good.
Cop that.
But then you wouldn't develop properly.
You'd be wrong.
Has to be teens.
Has to be teens. No, but even if it is teens.
Has to be teens.
Has to be like light teens.
Has to be like adulthood, please.
Otherwise, not only are you impossible to find, you're also just wrong.
You can't be raised with no human interaction.
You become a wolfman.
I would become a wolfman.
You would go feral.
I would definitely be the most human out of us three yeah you would you'd
be the most because you still have the same human wants and desires jack is like so far gone it's
like i wouldn't call him human and i am force i am like just like human by like biological
in sense but just mentally definitely not not. We're all pretty unpleasant. Except me. Charming as always.
I'm trying to think who's villain am I for?
The Doctor.
Because Doctor's not going to care.
Yeah, he will.
No, because there would be traces.
He'd be like, I'm getting all these like...
The reason why the silence is on Doctor's radar
is because they're a whole race of a thing.
Yeah, plus they're manipulating history.
I'm not.
I'm just a lad.
I feel like you're, like, not a Doctor Strange, but...
Maybe an X-Man?
Like, maybe a mutant problem?
Yeah.
Maybe?
Yeah, the mutants might have to sort you out.
But I really think the best way to kill you is to surround you.
Yeah.
Once you're surrounded, then everyone's getting a good look,
no one's going to forget, and then you're just stabbing at once.
That's true.
Yeah.
Gotcha.
Skewy.
I'm trying to think of like what kind
of crime
is this person like so you can commit crimes
but like why would he?
What do you get now?
It's
grim.
I think Dusha wins. Like you said
on a technicality.
Yep.
Yours is the most crime causing.
Yours is equally sad if you couldn't turn it off.
Yeah, but I can.
Or just wear sunglasses.
Gotta shoot you in the back of the head.
That's how you take you out.
Yep.
The most pleasant way to die, too.
I like how we kind of make ourselves and lean into the tragic.
Douche is like, no, I don't.
I'm great.
Deal with it.
Well, you asked me, and I was like, yeah, no, I can turn it off.
I said it's like Superman.
I reckon you don't turn it off
I reckon that's more terrifying
Yeah
Okay well then
Just fucking wear sunglasses
What else
No sunglasses don't work
You're riding all the time
Everyone around you
But I just don't look
Into people in the eyes
You'd have to like
Poke your own eyes out
Yeah
Alternatively
I just don't make eye contact
Because I also established
Poke your own eyes out
That's the noise it'll make
Wear eye patches all the time
Oh that's good.
You can have like a...
Tape?
No, what do you call it?
Across my face?
Like Scott Summers?
Scott Summers.
So Scott Summers rules?
Yeah, you could do Scott Summers rules.
You just press a button and it opens up
and somebody's like...
That's good.
I really like the idea of somebody running at you
and then just opening their eyes at you
and being like...
Actually, say I was running at you to kill you, and then you just saw me.
That's not going to stop me.
Make you angry.
I'll just kill you harder.
Yeah.
I wouldn't use it to defend against you.
I would just use it to attack you with other people.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Give them cannon fodder to run away. Well, that's yeah again like i was saying yeah you can just
put people in front of me that i'll become whilst you run in the other direction yeah i would escape
up my razor scooter fuck that's the best vehicle there is yeah i know i think coolest vehicle in
the game ducha wins jack's a monster and i'm Yep. Classic. I'm sad none of us are the men who can't go to jail.
Just the cops being like, you're not under arrest.
Carry on.
You simply just changed the name of the jail to something else.
Ah, that's your prison, son.
Damn.
Got me on a technicality.
Yeah.
Damn it.
And on that note, I've been unstoppable.
I've been quiet riot.
And I've been hush up a second.
Don't blink or do.
It depends who you're fighting, I guess.
It's not really going to do much.
Blink away.
Soon I'll be blinking your blinks.
Terrifying.
Where did they go?
Oh no.
No, no, no, no.
I just assumed dead.
I just never checked, I guess.
Or you just push them down
deep into their brain cap.
The episode's done.
A section of their brain.
And then, of course, when you die, or the body
dies, you just release them so A section of their brain. And then, of course, when you die or the body dies,
you just release them so that they experience their death.
Monster.
Especially when you drown that wolf.
That wolf is going to be like,
Why, Dad?
That's everyone's last thought.
That's not good.
Why am I dying?
Why am I dying?
Why, Dad?
Why, Dad?
Then all of a sudden I'm a nearby farmer.
I think that your MO is just drowning yourself constantly.
Always carry a bucket.
Yeah.
I heard in a movie once that it was a peaceful death.
It's the most pleasant way to go.
Gone.
Gotcha.
What an unpleasant outro
