Sands Pants Radio, Australia's most biased podcast network.
Hey everyone and welcome to this week's episode of Plumbing the Death Star, where we ask the important questions like, what would you do with the seven Dragon Balls?
You forgot the name of the show, did you?
You fucking did.
Seven?
Yeah, so again, the thing that was distracting me from remembering the episode Plumbing the Death Star,
the name Plumbing the Death Star,
was because prior to hitting record,
you guys were like, we should do a 10 Dragon Ball episode.
And I was like, there's seven.
You're like, perfect.
Let's go.
And I have now realized that by correcting you on that,
I've appointed myself the Dragon Ball Z expert.
You know, you're the Dragon Ball Vegeta something monkey man.
Nope.
Suzuki?
No, that's a cut. Let me list the people i know in dragon ball z vegeta pico
goku goku that's who i was no saiyan saiyan is there a man who is a turtle in it boo super saiyan
freezer maybe i do know dragon okay so i need to you always need to know that i'm sitting next to
both of you and every time you listed a name, you pointed at me.
Guess all of the words you've said are in Dragon Balls.
Yes.
Now, what are these Dragon Balls?
Yeah, what can I do with them? Okay, so this is probably not going to make you very excited,
but they're Dragon Balls because when they're together,
they summon a dragon.
That's cool.
That grants a wish.
Oh.
It's wish magic, baby.
Oh.
That's cool.
That grants a wish.
It's wish magic, baby.
I believe that every planet or at least multiple planets have a set.
Okay.
Different planets summon different dragons.
They do different wishes?
Yeah, the wishes do.
I think so.
How can a wish be different?
So I think the power of a wish can be different. So like you can't wish someone back from the dead.
But if I find the right balls a wish can be different. So like you can't wish someone back from the dead. But if I find the right balls, I can.
Yeah.
So I think the earth one can't, but the Kamek one can.
What if I wish for less balls?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
What if I'm like, I wish there was only three dragon balls.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I imagine the dragon, because the dragon is sentient.
So Shenron.
Shenron.
Shenron.
Which I think is the earth one.
Uh-huh.
Is just like.
Well, all dragons are sentient.
No, but as in like, it's not like, it's not like a genie situation where it's like, your
wish is my command.
A genie's sentient.
Yeah.
But it's not like, okay, Aladdin.
It's not like in Aladdin where if you make a wish, a genie's like, oh man, that's a fucked
one, but I gotta do it.
Where Shenron will be like, shut up.
Okay.
So I gotta pick a wish that the dragon will like.
Well, it can still be a bad wish.
I wish you have a big belly dragon.
He'd be like, no.
So you can't use...
I want to touch it.
I can imagine that the dragon isn't gonna grant any wish
that is bad for the dragon.
What if it's neutral for the dragon?
Like what?
Like, I wish you had a mustache.
That's not...
You're traveling the world to find seven dragon balls
to then wish that a dragon,
then you're only going to see
while you have the seven dragon balls,
which is only the time that it takes you
to make the witch has a mustache.
Yes.
I think that'd be good.
Because doesn't the dragon kind of already have
a bit of a weird mustache?
I believe Shenron may already have a mustache.
And it's like, I already have one.
And I'm like, oh, okay.
Oh, well, I guess I need for nothing.
Yeah, I guess I'm good then.
Have a lovely day and so on.
Okay, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I mean, it's a...
So it's like a...
Okay, he's kind of got a mustache.
I wish for more mustache.
Yeah, I want a thicker mustache.
Yeah, yeah.
What if I might give him a beard?
Yeah, I want him to have like a little math teacher comb mustache.
Yeah!
Is that not neutral?
I guess it's not.
I wish for him to have a nice hat that fits a dragon,
because I've never seen a dragon in a hat.
Is that neutral, Joel Dusha?
I mean, yeah.
King of Dragon Ball Z.
Yeah.
King of Dragon Ball Z who doesn't want dragon to have fashion.
Arbiter of what a dragon does and doesn't consider good or bad.
Can I wish that I was a dragon and that I had balls to summon?
Okay, so it's worth noting that even though he's kind of good at heart,
he's a strong dragon, has an aggressive temper, and he's impatient.
So if you wish for any of that, he might just breathe fire at you.
Yeah, so I'm like, I wish you had a mustache. But that's how I say impatient. You could just wish for any of that, he might just breathe fire at you. I wish you had a moustache.
But that sounds so impatient. You could just say no.
He was very quick about that.
What do you want? You'd have a moustache.
Shit, fuck. Damn it.
Damn it. So collecting
the Dragon Balls also is very, very hard to do.
How do I do it? You've just got to literally find them.
Where are they? They spread out
randomly across the earth.
How hard's that going to get you?
Okay, so in the show they find them kind of easy.
Not easily.
See, they find them easy.
Yeah, but they're super Saiyans.
That's fair.
What's a super Saiyan?
It's like an alien guy.
They're aliens.
It's a sci-fi.
Saiyans is a race of aliens from a planet.
Goku was a monkey once.
Goku is a Saiyan.
Saiyans can turn into monkeys.
But if you cut off their tail, they cannot.
Oh, that's sad. Why are you cut off their tail, they cannot.
Oh, that's sad.
Why are they cutting off these monkeys' tails?
Can Goku become a huge King Kong?
Yes.
Okay.
Does the King Kong have a tail?
So the monkey, to become a big King Kong, the Saiyan needs to still have a tail.
But they cut off their tails because when they're full moon,
it's like werewolf rules,
but they go crazy and can't control.
So it's like to stop them.
Yeah. Killing people.
They're going to cut off the tail.
Okay.
So look,
obviously I don't need you to tell me wherever.
I'm pretty sure Gohan kills Goku in that way.
Accidentally.
That's foolish for them to have such similar names.
Oh,
you two are both called Joel.
Your dad's name is John and your name is Jack.
No,
but there'll be more like if my name was Jackson
And someone was called Jackso
Goku and Gohan
They both just start with Go
What if it was Jackson and Jahon
Jack and Jackson
No because that's a shortening of the other name
No because you could be called Jack
Not every Jack is a Jackson
What if it was Jack and Jah
That's what it feels like
One of those is not a name. Well, there's Jack and Jah. That's what it feels like.
One of those is not a name.
Well, no, it's Goku. You're using Jackson and Jack.
That is easier to understand.
Neither Goku or Gohan are names, so.
I'm sure they're names.
Anyway, we're to the seven Dragon Balls.
And do you remember where on earth they are?
I know that the way that they find them,
they're pretty much impossible to find without the aid of technology bulma makes a dragon ball tracker
thing they use that to track the dragon balls but it still takes a long time to find it she's
smart okay we don't know anyone smart okay so we're gonna have to just dumb luck or steal it
yeah i mean you could probably team up with Bulma, maybe, I guess.
What do they want?
She's just, like, she works for the capsule corps.
I'm putting myself in the firing line here so hard.
Capsule corps, all right.
She works for them.
Now, what does she want?
Mate, is she likely to engage with us?
So she ends up marrying Vegeta, who is the most no-nonsense,
angry man, like very stoic.
We're the opposite of that.
Well, we're not trying to marry her.
No, but you should track her to that type of person.
She's got a kind of person that she would like to interact with.
That means that all of our obvious charms are probably going to fall short.
But that's all right, because you don't need to be charming to friends. That means that like all of our obvious charms are probably gonna fall short, but that's all right,
cause you don't need to be charming to friends.
So, she is friends with Goku who is a buffoon.
Oh dude.
Well we're three of the biggest knuckleheads
who have lived.
Goku's main personality traits
are basically being hungry and stupid.
That's us to a T.
Yeah, that's all of us.
But then feeling heroic when he has to.
Yeah.
When he's chilling though with Chi-Chi, his wife,
he's mostly just a hungry fuckhead.
Yeah, well, that's good.
That's us.
She's friends with Krillin as well.
He's just bald and annoying.
I don't know.
He's green, yeah?
No, that's Piccolo.
Fuck.
Krillin's the guy, just the small guy.
Who's the pink person with a tentacle head?
That's Boo.
Can I be Boo?
Boo's a bad guy first.
Why are they bad?
They're turning everyone into cookies.
No, they...
What?
He turns everyone into cookies and eats them to get their power.
Then he becomes young, yoked Boo, and he gets really muscular.
And then possibly something else happens.
There's also a guy called Freezer who's a mouse.
Not a mouse.
He's just an alien.
Boo, I believe.
He looks like a mouse.
He's got a big fat rat tail.
Look him up.
I'm pretty sure that's not how you spell freezer.
I just got pictures of fridges.
Is that what you mean?
No, F-R-I-E-Z-E-R.
I like that you know how to spell.
Oh, you did know how to spell it.
He looks like a Mewtwo.
He looks like a big rat.
Anyway.
So Mewtwo, not Mewtwo.
Buru's normal form is that one. Awesome looking. That picture where he's kind of like next big rat. Anyway. So Mewtwo, not Mewtwo. Boo's normal form is that one.
Awesome looking.
The picture where he's kind of like next to the gold version.
Oh, yeah.
He looks like if the Buddha and Bubblegum had a baby, dude.
It's sick.
Why does he have a penis on his knee?
What?
I don't remember Dragon Ball.
No, it's just a weird muscle thing.
Don't worry about it.
No, yeah.
See, his legs are just butt-sized.
Yeah, but if you look at this one, his whole like quads and knee look like i know very phallic yeah he's a phallic guy
anyway so these 10 dragon balls go back who's that that's not freezer who's that freezer no go back
what does it say in the description freezer there's many different kinds of freezers Oh no no no You spelled freezer with an E-R
Not an A
That's a fusion of him and his brother
Cool
Every fucking guy in Dragon Ball
Eventually fuses with every other fucking guy
Or gets battle
So go back
Type in freezer with an A
Yeah
Why do they fuse?
Because they do the fusion dance
Wow
What does that mean?
You do a dance
What do you mean what does that mean?
That's freezer
Okay well what do you mean you fuse? It's one person I'll show you This is what me and Dush mean? You do a dance and you... What do you mean, what does that mean? That's Freeza. Okay, well, what do you mean you fuse?
It's one person now?
I'll show you.
This is what me and Dusha do.
You do a dance and then you touch your fingers.
Yeah, I get that.
And then what happens?
You become Dusha.
Yeah.
Who's in control?
Well, both of us share the consciousness.
The whole thing with the fusion dance is you have to show that you're perfectly in sync
so that you're not...
I guess we become Jackal Boucher, actually.
Yeah.
So, like a Jaeger?
Anyway.
Are you piloting a Jaeger? No. No, you Boucher, actually. So, like a Jaeger? Anyway. Are you piloting a Jaeger?
No.
No, you're joined as one.
Yeah, but like a Jaeger.
No.
Well, yes.
So you're perfectly in sync, and then you're the new thing.
Yeah, that is a big thing.
It's like a Pacific Rim, but more fleshy.
It's a specific room.
A Pacific Rim is said of a pilot room where you have to be joined mentally.
You literally become one tough guy.
One being.
And it adds your power levels together, I think.
Or at least makes you stronger.
That's probably important to clarify.
As you're our Dragon Ball expert, what is our current power levels?
It would be low.
Human beings' power levels is tiny.
Okay.
But if you had to ascribe a number to the three of us?
Gohan teaches his human girlfriend to fly.
Okay.
So he can learn.
Yeah.
Okay.
So it's possible.
He is everywhere.
I remember that being the thing.
But I'm not going to learn to fly.
I don't have the aptitude.
I might try.
I'm a poor student.
So if you can find out what your average human is and then minus like 50 from that, that's us probably.
What does it go to?
Well, I think in the thousands
because I think you can be a Saiyan
thousand. You can be like, oh, I've become
Super Saiyan and then you become Super Saiyan
5,000. The average human power level is
between 5 and 10. Okay, well, don't negative
50 off that because that might kill me.
I think my power level is probably around
1, maybe 0.5.
2 here.
I feel like that's important for getting the Dragon Balls.
I feel like it might come in, be relevant.
I don't know.
Okay.
Just in case.
The highest power level that's said is.
Okay, so if we're at 2.
We're at 2 and the highest one would be.
Freezer at one point reaches 1,300,000.
Okay.
Okay.
So I guess that means, and I guess this is
also relevant, is your power level
does it help you find the Dragon Balls?
Like a higher power level you're more likely to?
No. Ah, then sweet. Okay, great.
I don't need to do anything about it then.
However, does my
power level go up? Yeah. No.
Are other people looking for the Dragon Balls?
Yes, because everyone's always looking for Dragon Balls.
So it's probably worth upping our power levels so that we can deal with them.
And we can do this.
Well, I was going to say I might fuse with my brother Ryder
for double power levels, bringing me to about a one.
Okay, okay.
So I'll be Jida Bailey and we can be Bailey because we can keep the same last name.
That's nice.
That's nice.
Can I eat those cookies you said had power in them?
I think you need to make the cookies.
But if Boo makes the cookies...
Boo turns people literally into cookies and then eats them.
That's what he was saying.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I can't do that.
What if I follow him around and he turns people into cookies
and I get some crumbs?
Yeah, well, then...
Like a vulture.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
If you eat the Boo crumbs,
you probably raise that power level to at least...
Well, what did you say you were?
A two? Probably a two, maybe a three? I'm a one, you probably raise that power level to at least, well, what did you say you were, a two?
Probably a two, maybe a three?
I'm a one, you're a three?
Douches, probably human average, five or whatever?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay, so that's not going to really help us.
Well, I guess that's because, you know, if boo,
if freezing can get to several million, what hope do we have?
What are other ways people raise their power levels, Doucher?
And I love that, like somebody in a cartoon laying train track in front of them on the front of the
train you are researching dragon ball z as we demand answers about dragon ball so what was the
question how do we raise our power how do i raise my power by training well what is it what is that
like like meditation could raise it like literally working out like like training is in like the same way you would get buffed.
The only thing is you're not going to get,
your power level is not going to go higher than like a,
even if you manage to just like really get in the zone
and stuff like that, you're probably not going to crack 100.
What if I fuse?
What if I fuck Ryder off?
What if I fuse with a Saiyan?
Like a Gohan.
Or what about a human athlete?
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, that's presumably peak.
So that's, you know, you're going to get up.
But like you're saying, if it's not a Saiyan or a rat man.
Can we say I fuse with somebody who is a very fit person and they are human peak.
Yeah.
We fuse together and we're like, sick.
And then we go find someone else and keep fusing.
Can we have humanity?
together and we're like, sick. And then we go find someone else and keep fusing. Can we have
humanity? I reckon
Can we just keep fusing everyone
together to finally get these alien
fucks off our planet? I don't see
why not.
Well, I just think we need the Dragon Balls
so we can make that our wishes.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what we're doing this for.
Right? Yeah. A wish to not be
fused. Also, once they're used
they disappear for a year. Once they're what?used. Also, once they're used, they disappear for a year.
Once they're what?
Once they're used.
Oh, once they're...
Okay, okay.
So we can wish for a mustache every year.
Yeah, that's good to know.
A year's actually not that much time.
Do they go to different places,
or is it back to where they were before?
No, they go to random places on the Earth.
Who's the smartest person we know,
just in case Bulma doesn't help us out? Who's the smartest Sands know? Just in case Balmer doesn't help us out
Who's the smartest Sandspence person?
Cass?
No, she's a moron, dude
Anybody in the core Sandspence crew is knucklehead for all time
Can't be anyone
We're all pretty stupid
Trent's pretty clever
Up in Sydney, Levens
Yeah, Levens Yeah Levens
I'm shaking my head
Ah
Damn this company
Is full of knuckleheads
God damn
It's knuckleheads
All the way
Damn
How do we not have
A clever person between us
There's so many of us
Fuck
I guess if we all
Fused
We just make a bigger
Knucklehead
Usually it's your times you can
this is a division. Yeah, god damn it.
Okay, so dragon balls emit a faint
electromagnetic pulse. Oh yeah.
Which the dragon ray does, which
is what the thing Balmer invented. Electro
EMP. Pigeons!
So
if we get pigeons, and whenever
they start dropping
out of the... Because pigeons have crystals in their brains.
Yeah.
That let them see the magnetic field.
Yes.
My dad was saying.
Okay.
How do you detect...
Do pigeons have crystals in their brains?
Okay.
Do pigeons have crystals in their brains?
That's what my dad said to me while we were in the car a while back,
a couple weeks ago.
And that's how a pigeon knows where to, how to go
to go home.
It turns out that pigeons,
a number of other species, including bats,
have metal deposits in their heads.
Yes! I was right. Pigeons got
crystals in their brains. We get enough pigeons together
to find a dragon ball.
They're iron and they're magnetically sensitive.
They use the Earth's magnetic field as kind of
a compass.
Boom.
Boom.
My dad was on the money.
Pigeons got crystals in their brains.
Get enough of those crystals.
You can find the Dragon Ball.
Okay.
Like a crystal radio.
Yeah.
Okay.
Perfect.
Done.
How do you detect?
Well, we let the pigeons go wherever they go are the dragon balls Pretty simple
This one's just in a tree
Damn, this one wants
birdsie. These pigeons aren't helpful
at all
Okay, you can just buy
You can just buy
an electromagnetic detector
We don't need them anymore
Thank you pigeons
Okay, so you need $79,
and you can probably find the Dragon Balls.
Oh, done.
But you need to...
Oh, no, but they faint, and it's all over the world.
We'll split up.
I'll take Russia.
Okay.
So you've just got Europe.
Zammett's got the Americas.
I'll use Australasia.
Are we meeting?
Because Russia is attached to part of Europe.
Yeah, we'll meet up, and then we'll go get Zammett.
And then we'll go to the Americas. And then we'll go to the Americas.
No, we'll go to the Americas together
and then we'll clean up the rest together in a boat or whatever.
What about if it's over water?
Over water?
Wouldn't it be underwater?
Yeah, it's underwater.
All right.
Marry on a trench, let's say.
We'll hire James Cameron to get his submarine.
How much could one of those bathyspheres be?
And I just want to double check.
We're going to these efforts so that you can wish the dragon has a mustache?
I'll decide when I get there.
We'll decide what we want.
We have three years to give wishes.
Yeah, while we're in the boat, I'm writing down,
I got like a notebook and it says like wish ideas
and it's got give dragon mustache and then I'm just tapping near.
Make mountains bigger.
Make mountains bigger.
There we go. That's a pretty good one. Come on, Dusha. Make mountains. Give dragon mustache, and then I'm just tapping near. Make mountains bigger. Make mountains bigger. There we go.
That's a pretty good one.
Come on, Dusha.
Make mountains.
Give dragon mustache.
Make mountains bigger.
Well, put a question mark.
You can figure it out when we get there.
It's fine.
Make mountains smaller.
Make mountains smaller.
Okay.
Exciting.
All right.
Why is the only wish not related to mountains?
Make the earth square.
Okay. Okay. To live on one of the corners. Wow. All right. Why is the only wish not related to mountains? Making Earth square. Okay.
To live on one of the corners.
Wow.
A cube, I guess, not a square, obviously.
If one of the corners was in the sea, what would that be?
Okay, gravity still exists.
Don't stress.
Yeah, but what?
So space doesn't have an up or a down.
Yes.
So the corner you're imagining, don't worry about it.
It just have water over it and the water would kind of wrap around the square.
Yeah, it would just wrap around.
Don't worry about it.
Around the point.
This is going to kill me.
You have no idea.
I hate thinking of this.
It's not going to drip off because it's the gravity.
That's not really what I'm worried about.
What are you worried about?
What would it look like?
Yeah.
It's a blue, like a blue corner.
But what if I got on it?
What do you mean, what if you got on it?
What if I sailed a boat to the point?
What's that look like?
No, because like like, wouldn't it
be like being on a mountain? Wouldn't it be kind of
wouldn't it be the same way as if you
currently... But there's no points on the
Earth that are part of
the Earth. Yeah, wouldn't it be like, it's not a sentence
that has an end? Wouldn't it be like,
don't worry about it? Because you'd be
nothing like that.
Well, because if gravity would exist, if you were at one
point, it would pull you down
But it would pull you a lot
What if I did a big jump would I like in Super Mario Galaxy
Go woo
Yeah
What the fuck
Well yeah I'd wish for that
Okay make Earth Cube
And I'm going to sail one of the corners and presumably die
Okay so wish one is make Earth Cube
Wish two our second year, good boat.
Mm-hmm, good, yeah.
And then wish three, we'll think about it later.
We'll think about it when we get there.
20 bucks, whatever.
So, do you know where the Dragon Balls are within the film,
I mean, TV series Dragon Ball Z?
No.
Okay, let's take a guess then.
I know one's definitely under the ocean.
Under the ocean.
How far under the ocean?
Like far under the ocean. Like the ocean. How far under the ocean? Like far under the ocean.
Like Mariana Trent?
Yeah.
All right, here.
Where?
Where are the Dragon Balls?
The Dragon Balls.
We can find them.
Hiding.
Hiding?
Where are those cheeky buggers?
They all have names?
Or is this Dragon Ball of one?
The one ball, the two ball?
It's just one star, two star, three star, four star, five star, six star, seven star.
It's like, oh, this is a seven star Dragon Ball.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay, they name it.
That's nice.
Okay.
Great.
Earth Dragon Ball.
Yeah, because there's different ones, but we can't get to space,
so we're not going to worry about that.
We're just going to get the Earth Dragon Balls.
The Earth DBs, baby.
The Earth DBs.
That'll do us fine.
That'll be easy peasy.
Just give me a list.
Breezy, beautiful covered girl.
Okay. Yeah. Okay. Okay. that'll do us fine that'll be easy peasy give me a list breezy beautiful cover girl so okay yeah okay can i touch the dragon balls with my dirty human hands yeah okay that's cool okay why why is this
um a graph yeah because every okay we'll go the first one okay yeah yeah yeah we want just the
first one the easiest what's a palaf's castle, so your best bet is actually going to be to pick the...
Second one, all right.
I would go probably Vegeta Saga, because that's like...
Vegeta Saga.
Is that the easiest?
It's like the first time it happens in Dragon Ball Z.
Okay, okay, okay, okay.
In Yonsabit Heights.
I don't know, click on it.
Yonsabit.
Sounds maybe European somewhere. And then the next one is found in... Yeah. It's a place at the end don't know. Click on it. Jonsabit. Sounds maybe European somewhere.
And then the next one is found in...
Yeah.
It's a place at the end of the earth.
Oh, no.
What?
It's a place at the end of the earth.
There's no end of the earth.
It's a sphere.
The climate is very cloud and the strong winds.
Barren and cold.
Okay.
So it's an expedition up in the cold places.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's a valley and it's where the Nameks apparently landed,
according to what...
Whom?
The Nameks.
Piccolo.
Oh, okay.
Piccolo and crew.
Okay.
Devil's Toilet is where the second Dragon Ball is.
So we get this cold place.
All right.
We're just going to go-
Well, who had any-
I had Europe.
No, I had the-
I forget where I had it.
Did anyone have any of the arctics?
You sure had Europe?
I had Russia.
That's the arctic.
Okay. I'll get that one that's the arctic. Okay.
I'll get that one.
You get that one.
Okay.
I'll freeze to death in my attempts.
Okay, whatever.
I can find it.
I've got the pigeon suit, whatever.
You got the pigeon suit.
We've all spent 80 bucks.
I've forgotten what's going on.
I'm dressed like a pigeon with my little electromagnetic finderoo.
I can find them in the valley.
That's not hard. Yeah. I find a spaceship. I'm like, what's going on again? But then I can find them in the valley. That's not hard.
I find a spaceship.
I'm like, what's going on again?
But then I find the Dragon Ball.
With this Dragon Ball, can you pilot that spaceship?
Because that could help.
The one Dragon Ball does nothing.
There is no magic skills of it.
It is literally...
How big is it?
It's like the size of...
Well, not even big.
No.
I could put it in the palm of my hand.
It's like... I thought it was the size of a basketball. No. It could put it in the palm of my hand. It's like...
I thought it was the size of a basketball.
No, it's like in between the size of a tennis ball.
My disappointment is immeasurable.
You can just hold it in your hand.
Like a softball.
And it does not...
Can I crack it?
No.
You best not.
What happens if I crack it open?
We did all seven of which, but the square earth.
I know. Criminy. The next one's in it open? We did all seven of which, but the square earth. I know.
Criminy.
Next one's in the devil's toilet.
Okay.
Well, I'll pocket this one, I guess, because I just can't.
Yeah.
It's not even big.
Chucking in my backpack.
Devil's toilet.
Is that like near the devil's, what's it called?
The hot part of America?
No.
In fact, it is in fortune teller Barber's Palace.
Whom?
Yeah.
Don't worry about him.
The devil's toilet is a room where there is literally two devils on a toilet
and both of their tongues are extended.
Also, there's acid underneath them.
Are they shitting there?
Yes.
Well, thank God that's not my problem.
Enjoy your shit, devil's boys.
I think these all seem pretty hard to get.
What if we just paid someone to do it?
Well, on Gohan's hat's pretty easy.
That's what Dragon Ball number four is.
Gohan apparently started in a desert.
Okay.
Okay.
Can we just assume that we can collect these Dragon Balls?
Yeah, I reckon we can either get them or we can pay someone to get them.
Yeah, it's not going to be that hard.
Again, even though we're knuckleheads all the way down,
the thing is that a lot of us.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So we're all searching. Yeah yeah by she and no single ant is clever but yeah yeah that's good that's a
great thing to compare it to so good that you said yeah before i had to do the second half of that
sentence because there is no second what no single ant is clever but get all the ants together in
the regime they'll figure out any math problem.
That's not how ants work, but yes.
Well, actually, yeah, probably the size of a tennis ball is probably the best way to describe it.
I forgot that one's in Gohan's hat.
That's so little.
Now a quick word from our sponsors.
Also, have you noticed that your shirts and or bags are often lacking in pins from your good friends at Sands Pants Radio? Well, that's easily remedied by heading to our merch store on SandsPantsRadio.com
and grabbing one of our pins.
We have the Sands Pants Radio logo, an always bet on Piss D20,
and Jackson's face that is a replica of his legally binding signature.
Sold separately or as a set of three,
check them out at our merch store over at SandsPantsRadio.com.
Okay, whatever. By sheer force of numbers, Sands Pants Radio, the podcast, has a set of three check them out at our merch store over at sanspantsradio.com okay what whatever
we by sheer force of numbers sanspants radio the podcast network can collect all seven dragon balls
now here comes the next hurdle we three want the wish i don't want to give it to adam or zoya yeah
that's fair so maybe we just can convince the rest of this network that having a square earth would be sick, you know?
Okay.
And then we can get away with that.
Does that say panties?
Yeah, it says someone wished for panties.
Excuse me?
That would have been Master Roshi.
Who?
He's a pervert.
That's good.
Wait, the good kind of pervert or the bad kind of pervert?
Bad kind of pervert.
That sucks. I've got such an? Bad kind of pervert. That sucks.
I've got such an itchy back all of a sudden.
Okay, so looking at these wishes,
well, I think ours is better.
This is like one person wished for panties.
Do you want to have a look at the guy that wished for panties?
No.
I know what he looks like.
He's got a turtle shell.
No, it wasn't Master Roshi.
It was actually Oolong.
I'm sorry to do this again, but who?
The pig one.
I don't know.
Have a look at him.
Big pervert.
Is Master Roshi a good pervert?
No, he's also a bad pervert.
I mean, perverts are perverts.
There's no good pervert.
I'm sorry, Jack.
You're a bad pervert.
No.
That can't be true.
Okay, so we've got someone was revived.
A bit lame.
Yeah, terrible choice.
The first two wishes in the Dragon Ball with Dragon Balls are panties
and then to bring someone back from the dead.
What is the panties?
Just like a rain of panties?
One pair?
I don't know.
You might have to go back to the panties article, John Sammet.
This is before my time.
This is from the Dragon Ball series.
Ah. What is the the Dragon Ball series.
What is the pant?
You just received a pair.
Just a pair of panties.
That seems, and I know we're wishing for cure birth, but that seems like a waste.
A single pair of panties.
Okay.
How horny is Dragon Ball Z?
Dragon Ball, very horny.
Dragon Ball Z, not that horny.
They showed it on Cheese TV. Kind of been that horny. Dragon Ball, horny Dragon Ball Z not that horny okay they showed it on Cheese TV
kind of been that horny
Dragon Ball
has
it's like
it was meant to be
originally
no one cares
I'm gonna stop talking
yes
alright so
Eternal Youth
for some King
Piccolo
wish to be young again
revived
more cunts being
revived
again a revive
some bomb removed
oh my god
those killed
since the 25th World Tournament revived.
You can raise memories.
You can do anything with it as long as the dragon thinks it's a sick wish.
That's the rule, as Dusha established earlier on.
Okay, okay.
Raising memories.
What can we get rid of?
Let's wish that the other people didn't realize that they were collecting dragon eggs.
Yeah, that's clever.
Wait, are they dragon eggs or dragon balls?
Just balls.
I wish these balls to be eggs.
Let me be Daenerys.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Look how crazy some of the wishes get, though.
Someone wished for Frieza's resurrection and ice cream.
Uh-huh.
Someone also wished for Shenron to scram.
I like this.
Go away!
Get out of here. that is a good wish uh
cure pan's fever that's nice gohan's one these are all very altruistic i like that our wish is
not altruistic but it's also not really like negative it's just we just want to see what
would what would happen and i can solve my water there we go known wishes granted if you scroll
down it'll tell you the details of them. One pair of panties.
Piccolo's young again.
Everyone that Piccolo killed is back.
Yeah.
And now we say reviving people can
kill people? Yeah. I don't know what the spawning
thing is. Looks like
that every time you make a wish, you've
spawned a new dragon.
So Bay wishes someone back from hell?
Is hell real?
Yeah, hell's real in Dragon Ball Z.
Is God?
No.
Was Christ?
Don't know.
Can I wish to be king of hell?
Probably.
Well, okay, so here's the thing.
We know the different kinds of wishes that are out there.
Presumably, eventually, we summon the seven Dragon Balls.
We find them.
Yes.
Now we have to make the
wish but do sure and maybe correct me if i'm wrong we only get one and there are three of us
how do we unanimously decide on the wish we're gonna get i guess we've got to make arguments of
like what wish do we want and hello sharon i wish the world was square well that's what i wanted to
so that's good i mean i'm curious to see where this corner ends up.
It's pretty good.
I thought there was the chance that the three of us
would tear each other apart, trying to get
our own individual wishes, but it turns out
all three of us just would really like to see
what Q-Birds we would play.
Make Q-Birds
and put us on that corner.
I wonder what it looks like and what we're doing.
And then we're on the boat on the corner and I'm going to one side of the boat and looking out,
and then going to the other and looking out,
and I'm like, I just...
You throw up.
I can't figure it out.
It's making me sick.
I still don't know.
I wish we hadn't done this.
We need to wish it back.
We're going to wait a year.
We're going to live a year on Q-Birth.
Q-Birth makes me sick, dude.
It's going to confuse all those pigeons with their head crystals. All the crystals in the pigeon's head. They're not going to know where the field is, dude. It's going to confuse all those pigeons with their head crystals.
All the crystals in the pigeon's head.
They're not going to know where the field is, dude.
Can you have a field on a cube?
I hate this.
Why did we let you make the wish?
I would have never wished for this.
I'm the most confident.
This is your fault.
You did this.
But I can't fight because cube earth makes me so sick.
Where I am the most happy of the day.
Because there's a straight edge.
Yes.
And you're on that edge.
No, let's not even go to the corner because there's too many edges there.
Let's just talk about one edge.
If you're on the edge of Q-Birth, is it like being on a mountain?
But if I'm on land, I get it.
How?
Because it's like a mountain.
You keep saying that, but I don't know what you mean by, like,
it's like a mountain.
Say, you know, you're on what?
Okay, we're folding paper.
We're folding paper now.
So if, like, you know, that's, like, one edge,
and say you're in the middle.
How is that like a mountain?
How? Maybe it's not. If that's like one edge and say you're in the middle, how is that like a mountain? Hell.
Maybe it's not.
Because if gravity is kind of pulling everything diagonally at that point,
I guess different points have different levels of gravity.
I guess what would happen is if you were on,
if you're on the top and you take a step towards the side,
you step over the edge.
So in a way it is like a mountain.
No. And then I guess for for you what are you saying no hang on i'm getting annoyed what do you mean it's
like a mountain well not like a mountain but like if it's a ridge you can step over then it's yeah
it's like a ridge you step over but then you go yeah you go from horizontal to vertical but you
still so then from a certain perspective you you could look like you're walking.
Okay, so Jackson, look at the room we're in,
and imagine if I just took one step on the wall.
And then you started walking up.
Started walking up the wall because my gravity,
when I put my foot on that wall, flips.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
How is that like a mountain?
Well, I guess it's not like a mountain.
Like what we're describing does not exist.
Okay, well, now what's it look like in water, though?
The same.
The same thing.
Except we're in a boat.
Yeah, you'd have the boat and then it would get to a certain tipping point.
Big boats wouldn't be able to do it because it'd probably snap.
Well, they'd do it, but it'd be like going over an edge
and then it'd fall and then it might snap.
What?
What don't you's... What?
What don't you get?
What?
Think, Jack, think.
It's just hard to imagine a corner of water.
No, it's not.
A water... You're like...
Think about when you're looking at a waterfall.
Mm-hmm.
Now imagine if when you stepped or swam,
you swam down the waterfall,
but the moment you went over the edge,
the world flipped for you and you were still horizontal.
Yeah.
How are you not, how was land easy for you to get?
It's the same logic.
But how does the-
Wait, no, wait, wait.
What if you swam down?
What do you mean if you swam down?
Well, yeah, because it's water.
Yeah.
So what if I'm here?
Well, no, there would be, there would have to be like a line.
Like a line down.
The same way that there's like an equator.
It's not stressful.
Relax.
Just swim through it.
So I'm assuming.
It would be way easier to drown.
I regret this wish.
If you have a cube, though yeah you'd have um yeah like
every there'd be a center point of the cube and then there'd be gravity sort of coming
yeah basically everywhere towards that center point yeah yeah right so then what happens if
yeah one of the corners was water where would would you... You drown, maybe, easier,
because you wouldn't know which way is up.
You'd blow bubbles.
Drowning is way easier.
Because if you went too deep,
then all of a sudden you wouldn't be sure
if you had to swim straight to get to the surface.
Yeah, or to the side.
But no, you'd blow a bubble.
But the bubble might go that...
I guess it would always go up.
It would always go up.
Alternatively, also, you could just swim either way
because at some point the gravity is going to switch for you.
Yeah.
Just one way would be easier because you're fighting with or against gravity.
I just wouldn't swim on the –
it's much like I wouldn't swim on the edge of a waterfall.
I wouldn't swim on the edge of Cuba.
I want you to know that as I think about this,
it's like I hit a point where my brain just gives me static.
Like I think I've
got to get my brain just like, no.
Too bad, Jackson. We'll never
understand Q-Birth.
What was easier for you to understand? Dragon Ball
Z or Q-Birth? Dragon Ball Z.
Turns out I already knew heaps
about Dragon Ball Z.
Q-Birth is a horrible mystery to
me, and I don't like
thinking about it even a little bit. Well, and then in a year, you can go find the seven Dragon Balls on Q-Birth is a horrible mystery to me, and I don't like thinking about it even a little bit.
Well, and then in a year,
you can go find the seven Dragon Balls on Q-Birth
and wish it to be around again.
I'll be like, just make it flat like the crazy sack.
Now I don't have to think about shit.
Things just fall off.
That's easy.
Yeah, that's simple.
Into nothing.
Whatever, dude.
That is just waterfalls.
Hell yeah.
Because it'd be still, wouldn't it?
What do you mean?
Yeah, see?
Because it's not where I am on the water.
It's what the water's doing that's hard for me to fathom.
What's the water doing?
Because the water...
Depends what the moon's doing, I guess.
No.
Is the moon a cube?
Give me that pat.
Why does the moon being a cube change anything?
Because it should be like
It wouldn't be a cube
The water would still be a circle
Oh my god you're an idiot
Because gravity
No because we're changing gravity
We have to change gravity
Or we don't change gravity and everything just
Flies off
If we change gravity
And rather than making
So like in nature how it
makes a sphere it makes a cube now.
So we've changed a fundamental
element of physics.
So if you blow up a balloon it would be
a square now? Yes.
Most things that are round
would be square I feel.
Naturally occurring things. Square eyes?
No.
Is gravity needed? Square heads?
Maybe for you.
Knucklehead?
Heads aren't naturally
round. What do you mean they're
naturally round? No, but they're not like
they're not like a
balloon. Yeah, but everything
is affected by gravity, yeah?
So everything is therefore maybe shaped.
I don't think our heads are
Our heads are affected by gravity, yeah? So everything is there for maybe shape. I don't think our heads are... Our heads are affected by gravity,
but not in the way I think.
Yeah, correct.
So I think you're gonna be fine.
I would rather
watch every episode of Dragon Ball
than think a second longer
about Cube World.
And on that note, I've been Joel.
I've been Jackson.
I've also been Joel.
Dragon, dragon, both a dragon, dragon, both Cube World.
This has been an emotionally taxing episode for me.
Cube Earth, baby.
It's the way of the future.
Yeah.
You don't think I could dragon ball.
Let's think of dragon cubes.
Yeah, galaxy'll think of a dragon ball, let's think of dragon cubes. Yeah, galaxy brain shit.
