Hello and welcome to this week's episode of Plumbing the Death Star, where we ask the important questions like,
Starting point is 00:01:00 Who has the worst fictional upbringing? So an upbringing we're defining as from birth to death. No, from birth till about the end of teenagehood. Yeah. Yeah. That's roughly upbringing. I mean, people usually describe- It could be birth till death. I would say like a childhood.
Starting point is 00:01:31 Yeah, childhood usually is- I guess that's why you're being brought up. So no, you know what? Fair. Yeah. Most people don't call it an upbringing if they're finished being up. I would say I was brought up till about 18. Later.
Starting point is 00:01:44 Big adult baby. Yeah. Still being brought up now about 18. Later. Big adult baby. Still being brought up now. Brought up to this very moment. To be honest. Your counts are not bringing until you pay your first bill. So Jackson, that should be around 45. Yeah, absolutely. Or never.
Starting point is 00:01:57 I'll die and they'll be like, he was still a child even though I was 98. I lived long. That's too long for you to live. Anyway, Anakin Skywalker. Anakin Skywalker. Okay. Worst fictional upbringing by a significant margin.
Starting point is 00:02:10 He had a mother who loved him, a father figure who was a gross fly. He lived in a desert. That's cool. Was a slave. Got to live around jagged metal. Had other slave friends. Had other slave friends. Was a pod racer, but friends was a pod racer but was only a pod
Starting point is 00:02:27 racer because it didn't matter if he died yeah it's crazy if you make that real world and it's like this child is driving a rally yeah and that 10 year old wow and the only like part of the reason why they do that is like water is like if water wasn't yeah what don't love shmey which is a very funny sentence you're not wrong yeah by extension he must love anakin yeah yeah but i don't know why we've given him a Wario voice, but hey. Well, that's good. He doesn't whip, Anakin. That's pretty good.
Starting point is 00:03:09 I'd say not whipping your child is sort of a neutral. When Jedi are there, he does let Anakin finish early because Anakin famously says, yippee! Anakin seems happy. Anakin doesn't know better. Anakin loves his life better Anakin loves his life Anakin hates his life Hey it's crazy that when they're letting Anakin
Starting point is 00:03:29 That they let Anakin pod race Is there anyone who's like that as a boy He will die Wasn't that the first one he kind of did it as a race Yeah But it's like a car basically Sobaba would kill him Sobaba would kill anyone
Starting point is 00:03:43 Least of all a boy. It's amazing. Given the opportunity, Sebulba would shoot Anakin in the head as a child with a blaster. No, no, no, you're both wrong. Anakin's about to accept the pod racing award and then Sebulba floats on up to him and then with his big horse mouth eats Anakin's head
Starting point is 00:04:02 and then just walks away and everyone's like, in a way, Sebulba won. I'll just fly with these little X-Wing and double tap R and a big jet flame will come out. That's right. What a game. Sebulba's a dirty racer, the more I think about it. He's not a good racer. But Anakin's
Starting point is 00:04:17 upbringing is, well, obviously it begins on Tatooine? Yes. Nailed it. That's so good. Tell me that Star Wars knowledge is at such a low that you're like, Tatooine? Yes. Nailed it. That's so good. Tell me that Star Wars knowledge is at such a low that you're like Tatooine, is that right? Fellas, what do you imagine I nearly called it? Danterween? No.
Starting point is 00:04:34 No, Dagobah. No, Tatooine. Alright. So Anakin's raised on Tatooine. Yes. But that's like one part of his upbringing. Then he lives with those stuffy Jedis in a tall house or whatever. Well, if you look at living on Tatooine, yeah, it's dry and it sucks. But is living on Tatooine as a boy, is it any different of just living on Tatooine?
Starting point is 00:04:57 No. What's the downgrades of like... Well, the difference is you're a slave and then, yes, we haven't touched on the worst part of his slavery part, which I mean slavery very bad. Coming to that star, famously anti-slavery. Hey, if you take one thing away from this, it is that we are anti-slavery.
Starting point is 00:05:14 Absolutely. Yeah, we are an anti-slavery podcast. Remember that. Yes. So he doesn't know any better. He was raised as a child and W Watto loves him as, I guess, Watto loves Shmi. That's all I'm saying from this guy.
Starting point is 00:05:28 Watto loves him. Watto loves Shmi and Watto loves Anakin. Watch the Phantom Menace. But Watto doesn't love Anakin enough not to give him away if he wins a pod race. And then keep Shmi as a slave. So you get separated from your mother. You get taken away by strange men in cloaks Shmi as a slave. So you get separated from your mother.
Starting point is 00:05:45 You get taken away by strange men in cloaks after almost being killed for however long a pod race goes for. After like two hours. Imagine being an orphan like in the real world and you win a street race in a souped up car and then you're taken
Starting point is 00:06:02 by some men in cloaks who are like you got the right amount of bugs in your brain, kid. In Watto's defence, though, he didn't think Anakin was going to win. Yeah, in Watto's mind, this was a sure thing. In Watto's mind, he was like, I'm going to keep my Shmi, keep my Anakin, and make some sweet Jedi bugs. No, in Watto's head, he's like, I'm going to keep a sad Shmi because witnesses her son die
Starting point is 00:06:26 Obi-Wan No, not Obi-Wan, the other one, Qui-Gon Jinn Leaves sad because he watched a kid die I'm just trying to work out The upbringing of someone In Tatooine versus Anakin in Tatooine Well, Anakin has to pod race
Starting point is 00:06:41 I get it, but I think Anakin, what makes him distinct Is that he goes from that to living with the Jedi Council. Can you imagine being on that council when Qui-Gon's like, this boy, this boy is going to bring the balance to the Force. I'd be like, goddammit, Qui-Gon. You've got to stop doing this to me. Every single kid he brings back.
Starting point is 00:07:01 Well, because it goes from bad desert times to bad Jedi times. Because being a child at the Jedi Academy can't be good. I mean, you see a pretty extreme example of how it's not good in Revenge of the Sith. I mean, look, if we look at the end result of a reflection of the upbringing, yes!
Starting point is 00:07:17 If you didn't have a very good upbringing, yes! You get that where you're constantly... He's gone from water water who cares for him probably doesn't love him slave etc etc risks his life gets taken by men in cloaks
Starting point is 00:07:30 gets put into a Jedi temple which is basically just like becoming an altar boy except they're constantly telling him that he is too old and too garbage
Starting point is 00:07:38 for everything he's doing and that he's a real risk yeah but he does get to see space he gets to fly his own ship. That's cool. He gets to build a friend.
Starting point is 00:07:48 And meets an angel. And meets an angel. He does get to build his own friend. Are you an angel? Shut up. He meets his future wife maybe at the age of 10. I would like to superimpose you into that scene, Dusha, in the background eating a banana.
Starting point is 00:08:02 Shut up. Shut up, Atticus. We're in space idiot if angels existed they wouldn't be called angels they'd be like fucking star wars would yeah idiot are there like an actual angel race in now star wars to make that all make sense because it would have to be kind of like how uh han solo starts talking about hell or whatever. He doesn't start talking about it. That's not immunity, like everybody be quiet.
Starting point is 00:08:30 If you sin, your soul is bound for eternal damnation. Harrison, stop ad-libbing. This is not working. His clause in Return of the Jedi was either you kill me and Empire Strikes Back or I'm going to go on a big diatribe about hell and it's going to be canon
Starting point is 00:08:46 eventually Anakin okay this is more evidence about how bad my Star Wars knowledge is eventually Anakin gets his arms and legs burnt off why? because he didn't have the higher ground he doesn't get his arms and legs burnt off
Starting point is 00:09:04 he gets his arms and legs cut off. They fight in a volcano. Yes. Why are they there? Do we have to really go through the plot of Avengers here? For what reason? This is my memory of those films. Anakin and Obi-Wan are having a good chat in an elevator.
Starting point is 00:09:24 Scene missing. Anakin is burning. What's the elevator conversation? What are they talking about? He's like, hey, that was a pretty good mission, and Anakin's like, you're not wrong. Something to that effect. Well, at this point... Because there's no good missions in
Starting point is 00:09:41 Revenge of the Sith. It might happen in Attack of the Clones. The movie opens with Anakin doing a bad thing where he beheads Count Dooku. He pushes Samuel L. Jackson out a window.
Starting point is 00:09:58 Yes. I remember that scene too. So at this point Shieve is there. At this point he's married. Or at least... at this point he's married or at least secret married. He's married to Palpatine. He gets secret married to you've given me
Starting point is 00:10:14 bad brain. He gets secretly married to Padme at the end of Attack of the Clones. They were both peas. He gets his arm cut off in episode 2 as well. Count Dooku cuts it off. At that point though he's already grown up. Yeah, he's an adult. I think if you're being raised by an institution,
Starting point is 00:10:28 you're still being brought up. He is being brought up till his arms and legs are burnt off and Obi-Wan's like, I don't know why we did this because Jackson doesn't know. Goodbye. I would not say he's being brought up then because at that point, he's basically got a job. It's like he's graduated from police force. If you're still a cop, you're still being brought up then because at that point he's basically got a job. It's like he's graduated from police force.
Starting point is 00:10:45 If you're still a cop, you're still being brought up. Well, I would say there's actually three upbringings for Anakin. He's got his Tatooine or Tatooine. So he's Tatooine upbringing. Then he's got the Jedi Council upbringing when he's part of the Academy. Then he gets a secret adult upbringing
Starting point is 00:11:02 when he first becomes Darth Vader. That's true. Palpy. And Shelf. Shelf. Sheev. Shelf. Shelf Palpatine. He's like, mm, kill some kids.
Starting point is 00:11:12 So let's look at Anakin's father figures, because it's pretty funny. He goes, what-o, Qui-Gon Jinn. Dead, in brackets, deceased. Deceased. Sheev. So, okay, so you're in Tatooine, and you're like, why is this gross fly man not drying out in the sun? Yeah. Sheep. So you're in Tatooine and you're like why is this gross fly man not drying out in the sun?
Starting point is 00:11:28 This sucks. I guess you've got some friends in Tatooine. Yeah but you leave them. One of them's Greedo I think. You get to build a boy. That's kind of nice. Yeah you make C-3PO I guess.
Starting point is 00:11:40 He's got some outlets. As an education and as a childhood goes it's not terrible. He's got a place for his creativity. He's got some outlets As an education And as a childhood goes It's not terrible He gets He's got a place For his creativity Yeah
Starting point is 00:11:48 He's C-3PO It's basically Arts and crafts Yeah He can You know He can If he's
Starting point is 00:11:53 Once he's good with hands So he learns pod racing So he's good at mechanics So he's learning Good hand eye That's true He's got a loving mother So again
Starting point is 00:12:01 That's not too bad And a father figure In Watto And like Look He's not the best father figure But he's not the bad. And a father figure in Watto. And like, look, he's not the best father figure, but he's not the worst father figure. Well,
Starting point is 00:12:08 as Dusha famously said, Watto loves Shmi. Watto loves Shmi. And by extension, Anakin. Sheev loves Anakin. Yeah. It is rough that all of Anakin's parent figures don't love him for him.
Starting point is 00:12:21 Yeah. No. Well, Watto is like, you see some dolly little babies. Then you've got Qui-Gon, who's like, ah, yes, the Jesus boy. Yeah. No. Well, Watto is like, you see some dolly little bills. Then you've got Qui-Gon who's like, ah, yes,
Starting point is 00:12:26 the Jesus boy. Yeah, that's like if somebody gave me like baby Christ and I was like, I gotta do something with this kid. Well,
Starting point is 00:12:33 that's another thing. Also, he gets told that he's immaculately conceived. That's gotta do something. The pause there was for like, cause I'm like, and,
Starting point is 00:12:40 but no, you're right. That in and of itself is bad. Hey mom, where's dad? You don't have a father. I just one day got full of the force in my tum. Yeah, you know angels?
Starting point is 00:12:49 Because you do know angels. So you know the story of Christ? It happened to me and your Jesus. Okay, hey, mum. Look, I am but a... But you're bad, Jesus. Oh, dang. Look, I am but a boy.
Starting point is 00:12:59 You know what you could have said? Lied to me. Anything else. Look, yeah. There's a few bad options. I fucked water. That's at number one of the worst answers.
Starting point is 00:13:10 At least then I've got a dad. No! That's what they're saying whilst making food. Hey, where was I from? Oh, I fucked water. Oh. I've got questions.
Starting point is 00:13:20 Yippee! But you could have like, oh yes, he was, I don't know Some kind of imperial soldier Hey Anakin you're not old enough You're like five Or your dad is off the line
Starting point is 00:13:31 Anakin your dad's off on the war Just lie Shut up That's a good thing about having a kid You can just tell him to shut up Or you'd be just like you were a naughty boy And that's why you left real fuck him up yeah you look mine not great advice yours bad advice is an anti-child abuse podcast also yes okay so that was uh waddo then we go qui-gon and
Starting point is 00:13:58 qui-gon is all like puts you know puts him on a pedestal thinks he's great and fucking dies qui-gon like an idiot qui-gon puts him in a naboo starfighter was like stay there and he's like okay and then he flies a starfighter into the trade federation ship blows it up comes back qui-gon's dead does anakin think he got punished yes i think so i didn't listen to qui-gon and now qui-gon's dead yeah actually like here's a person who's giving me a lot of attention and like you don't know the like the terrible thing about like oh look he's the savior he's like this a lot of attention. And, like, you don't know the terrible thing about it. Like, oh, look, he's the saviour.
Starting point is 00:14:26 You're just like, this guy thinks I'm neat and that's good. Yeah, I've got the right bugs in my brain. Yeah, exactly. I've got heaps of them. You're not blaming him for abandoning your mother. So you're just like, oh, yeah, he likes me. I'm a special boy. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:37 He says to stay here, but I want to help. Now he's dead and I left and that's my fault. I'm sorry. And Obi-Wan is kind of more like an older brother figure for him, really. An uncle. He's an uncle figure. Which are few and far between. Because Qui-Gon goes and visits Obi-Wan, right?
Starting point is 00:14:53 Yes. And he's like, hey, I'm here, I'm a ghost. Yeah, he never goes and visits Anakin and be like, it's not your fault I'm dead. Yeah, because Qui-Gon's embarrassed by the whole thing. Would Qui-Gon going to visit Darth Vader be like, it's not my fault it's your dad and Darth Vader, it's not my fault it's your dad and Darth Vader, it's not my fault it's your dad, okay.
Starting point is 00:15:09 It's not your fault I'm dead and then Darth Vader, this is not worth where it's going. Darth Vader is like, I wish it was. I'm bad now. I mean, he could have come a little bit earlier, just saying. Yeah, I choked on that entire sentence. It was not worth it. What a good time.
Starting point is 00:15:28 We're here. We got there. It hurt every step of the way. And then we got Obi-Wan, who's basically, you're right, he's an older brother that is like, I guess I'm raising the kid because dad's dead, or ran out and ran out. No wonder Anakin ran to Sheev.
Starting point is 00:15:41 Exactly. And then you got Sheev. Sheev seems kindly. I get it. He's got a bad face, though. He does. He didn't initially. He had a kind of handsome face.
Starting point is 00:15:51 But he tells great stories about so-and-so the wise. Darth Plagueis the wise. Darth Plagueis or whatever. And, yeah, Anakin doesn't push Mace Windu out a window. He cuts off his hands. Well, Mace Windu falls out a window. Yes. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:16:09 Can't wait to find out that George Lucas has heard this and is just like... Yeah, I'm doing re-edits. I'm doing the Jackson Bailey re-edits of The Phantom Menace. Most of it's in elevator. Yeah, that was a good mission. That was a good mission. That was a good mission.
Starting point is 00:16:23 Anakin! It's over, Anakin Anakin I have the higher ground You're the chosen one You're meant to bring balance to the force Not fuck it What Hi Jackson Bailey here Confused audience member
Starting point is 00:16:39 What are you doing here Why are we here it's hot Why are we fighting on a hot planet The film has an effect where it looks like I'm tearing out of the screen at the cinema. Why are you watching this? What's happening? Turns out it's not an effect. You asked.
Starting point is 00:16:53 I got lost backstage. Backstage at the cinema. Yeah, I guess it's sort of great because no one ever teaches him anything good. No, it's kind of no wonder that Anakin ended up the way he did. Yeah, he was manipulated pretty much from everything. Even like Qui-Gon Jinn manipulated the situation so that he could be separated from his mom. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:13 Qui-Gon's a piece of shit. Oh, yeah. Hey, we've established that. He's the worst Jedi. I'll say it. That's a big and bold claim. Kit Fisto thoughts? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:17:24 Anakin Skywalker killing younglings. Not quite at that point. Kit Fisto rules. Kit Fisto's amazing. He's dead. Who else is a Jedi that you might hate?
Starting point is 00:17:37 Yoda. Yoda? Was Yoda a good father figure to Anakin? Did he kind of ignore him? Yoda is a bad father figure to Anakin? Did he kind of ignore him? Anakin Yoda is a bad father figure to everyone Who has attempted to be raised by Yoda He's bad at giving advice
Starting point is 00:17:52 He's bad at his job He's very terrible at his job But damn do you think that's a good Yoda impression? Actually, under Yoda's watch A lot of people died A lot of kids died You should be fired from that school I hope that if they were like,
Starting point is 00:18:05 Yoda, those kids died, he's like, little I am. Nothing to do I could. I am a kid. I could nothing to do. Yoda, talk normal. Talk normally, I cannot. It pleases me so much that your Yoda impression
Starting point is 00:18:23 begins with the noise Yoda would make eating delicious spaghetti. Yeah. Like if you're like, try it, try it. It's good. It's always giving bad and wrong advice. Yeah. So yeah, I guess it's not one.
Starting point is 00:18:36 Anakin had a pretty... Yeah, look, it wasn't great. It wasn't ideal. Yeah. So how many dads out of five were given this? Absent dads? Yeah. How many absent dads? Absent dads? Yeah. How many absent dads?
Starting point is 00:18:45 Absent dads. So that's our rating for today, as decided by me on the spot. How many absent dads out of five? Five out of five absent dads being the worst upbringing. One out of five absent dads being... I would say it's pretty bad. Like three and a half absent dads. Three and a half absent dads?
Starting point is 00:19:00 I would go with almost four absent dads. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We've started strong on the absent dad front. It's really hard not to say absent dab. Absent dab. Well, that was a dab. An absent dab is more like absent dab. Insert dab here.
Starting point is 00:19:15 Okay, well, I'm going to choose Daniel Witwicky from the Transformers animated movie and series. My favourite thing that I just learned then is that Witwicky as a surname in the Michael Bay ones wasn't pulled out of Michael Bay's eyes. How raw. He's named Sam Witwicky in there. Yeah, but Witwicky.
Starting point is 00:19:35 There's so many Witwickys. There's a lot of Witwickys. Isn't it a big thing in the Michael Bay one that Witwicky is like destiny or some shit? I know that Witwicky dies. It rules. In either the second Mark Wahlberg Transformers or the first Mark Wahlberg transformers. They show this thing of all the transformers secret society people that have
Starting point is 00:19:53 died recently or in history. And one of them, Sheila, both Sam wiki canonically dies in the transformers movies. That's a fucking bass rest in peace. He did so well. So, um, so yes, Daniel Witwicky, he's either the son of Spike Witwicky
Starting point is 00:20:10 or sometimes Buster Witwicky. The animated series is unclear and likes to change things. That rules. Buster and Spike are names that they went with. Look, the 80s were a bit rad. Spike Witwicky and Buster Witwicky. Yeah, that was Spike's brother, Buster.
Starting point is 00:20:26 You have kids and you're like, I'm going to name this one Spike and that one Buster. I want my kids to roll a blade only. And fight with hockey sticks. So that we Spike and Buster or I won't have them. And then they're going to have a son. One of them will have a son, Daniel. One of them, I don't know who.
Starting point is 00:20:42 Daniel, Daniel will do. Daniel, really? Spike Daniel? Okay do Daniel really Spike Daniel ok cool Spike Buster Daniel so what's so bad about his upbringing well ok first off
Starting point is 00:20:50 apart from having a bad name and not sure who his dad is so he knows exactly who his dad is well he doesn't actually we'll go with Spike ok so in the animated film
Starting point is 00:20:58 the 82 84 one so Spike his dad is currently just on like a moon near Cybertron so his dad's chuffed off just on a moon near Cybertron So his dad's chuffed off
Starting point is 00:21:06 To Cybertron? Yeah, yeah, yeah A human man Yep, yep Every door would be so big for him That's crazy He'd get lost in a coffee mug You've gone too big now
Starting point is 00:21:21 He'd get lost in the rug of a Cybertronian. How good is it to think about being small and Cybertron? It rolls. Except it'd all be Transformers mugs and it would be a guy or whatever. I wanted a drink out of you. Yeah, I was coughing all over my lap. But the coffee's a guy. It sucks to be a Transformer.
Starting point is 00:21:41 Everything's just a fucking guy. Why is his dad on the moon? What did he go for? He's doing some bullshit with jazz, I think. Jazz? It's the notes you don't play. That's true. Son, I've gone to the moon to record my new album.
Starting point is 00:21:58 You just need those vibes. I need to get as close to the action as possible to record it. The best music is made lunar. It's always on Cybertron on that moon. Moon base one. The best music is made under high pressure. It's true. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:22:13 But no, he's just there monitoring Cybertron. Because I think at that point, the Decepticons are in charge for a bit. So anyway, his dad's shipped off. And now he's being raised by Autobots. And only Autobots. That's a mistake. They're machines.
Starting point is 00:22:26 They are machines. And then he's got his best friends with Hot Rod, who's just a bit of a dickhead. Don't be best friends with a car. Simple as that. As simple as that. Yeah, they always say man's best friend. It's a dog.
Starting point is 00:22:37 No, in this, it's a sweet car. How old is Wicky? Like, he's got to be about 10 or 12. Oh, no, puberty age. Transformers don't know about my changing body. Excuse me, Mr. Hot Rod, my dick has hair now. He's being raised by these Autobots and then finally Optimus Prime comes
Starting point is 00:22:57 and graces them with his presence. He's like, oh my God, Optimus Prime is back. He's getting attacked by the Decepticons. He's like, Optimus Prime,, our Jesus figure, the hero. The Anakin of this story. The Anakin of the story. He's going to be so cool. He had a sweet fight with Megatron.
Starting point is 00:23:12 And then he dies. And then he's got to watch him turn black and white and die. He's got to watch a truck die. The father figure to all Autobots and every child born in the 80s, me included, we have to watch him die. It sucks that that kid will grow up, like, not ever trusting a car, you know? Or anything.
Starting point is 00:23:30 Yeah. Anything machinery can be anything. It could all be people. And you know that they're people, they're cars capable of death. Yeah. Hey, in the 70s, we had to struggle with the fact that
Starting point is 00:23:40 the southern green is people, but now it's machines are people, there's coffee cups. Cars are people. Cars are people. Cars are people. Cars are people. Everybody, stop driving. Don't go inside the car. And so he's got to witness, like, you know, Optimus Prime.
Starting point is 00:23:56 The best of us die, and that's got to be just heartbreaking. And then he's got to go on this, like, wacky adventure to space, which is kind of cool. He gets his own Transformers suit so he can become a car for a bit Oh no, now this rules I've turned, I like this Watching Optimus Prime die though That's like a big thing
Starting point is 00:24:13 Imagine you're at the event You're at the crucifixion Yes! Finally! My time travel machine worked Let me huck a stone On the cross Hey! Is that you Jesus?
Starting point is 00:24:29 Which one of you is Jesus? Oh my god there's a lot of you No there's two of them There's three There's three at least There's three on the cross But I'm pretty sure two of them are both called Jesus Oh no
Starting point is 00:24:38 I feel like it's a sea of crucifixes I also I know as much about Yeah because I'm pretty sure there's good Jesus and bad Jesus Which one of you is the good one? I just think that's just wrong. No, no, no. It's not the same person. Isn't one of them Saint Dumas? No. My understanding...
Starting point is 00:24:54 Are you thinking of Barabbas or whatever his name is? Maybe the one that were like, hey... Free Barabbas? Yeah! I thought his name was also Jesus. They were like, hey, we're going to nail someone to the cross. I see. Australian Catholic upbringing is doing us wonders. Hey, there's this guy on the cross,
Starting point is 00:25:12 and everyone used to love him, but now you hate him. And there's this guy who's a real piece of shit. We'll let one down. Let the piece of shit down. Yeah, Barabbas or bad Jesus. Let bad Jesus down. That was before the cross It was just two criminals How good is it to imagine
Starting point is 00:25:29 Getting to the crucifixion And it's like a sea of crucifixes And you push one And it dominoes Oh no And I get back in my time machine And flee Wait
Starting point is 00:25:37 This shouldn't have any problems Was he not even on the cross No It was with Pontius Pilate Okay now I know my But who's Saint Dumas It's cause he's like one
Starting point is 00:25:45 one one of Deuteronomy the cat the cat from cats now I gotta remember bible studies I hate this
Starting point is 00:25:52 that cat is the devil but also maybe an angel it sends someone to heaven it sends the old cat to heaven there's two dickheads next to the old mate and the old mate's like one of them guys
Starting point is 00:26:01 like hey your dad's fucking god save us and he's like yeah shit or whatever and the other guy's like don't of them guys is like, hey, your dad's fucking God. Save us. And he's like, yeah, shit or whatever. And the other guy's like, don't worry. We deserve to be up here. That guy goes to heaven. That guy goes to hell, I think.
Starting point is 00:26:12 Hey. That rolls. I've been thinking about upbringings. Yeah. It's a bit of a side, a little bit of side. It's a little side journey. It really got me thinking. Jesus is upbringing.
Starting point is 00:26:21 Oh, great. It was all right. Same problem as Anakin. He got a whole bunch of frankincense, myrrh and gold Yep What does a baby do with those? Well, eats Puts it in mouth
Starting point is 00:26:31 And rubs on self Yeah Okay Golden baby Actually, I guess we don't know much About Jesus as like a little Wee lad He has that moment
Starting point is 00:26:39 Where he's in In like the temples And he's sort of like Starts talking to scripture As a wee lad And then suddenly he's 30 Jesus Suddenly 30 Oh no And now a quick word From our sponsor in, like, the temples, and he sort of, like, starts talking scripture as a wee lad, and then suddenly he's 30. Jesus! Suddenly 30!
Starting point is 00:26:45 Oh, no! And now a quick word from our sponsor. But while I have you here, have you heard of our sister podcast, Shut Up A Second? I'm not in it, so already we're off to a great start. Jackson hosts it, and it's just comedy without the pretense of pop culture garbage. So if you're tired of us talking about a Star War, a current Avenger, or that Harry Pot Pot bloke, why not check out Shut Up A Second? There's currently almost 300 episodes of pure, unadulterated nonsense
Starting point is 00:27:16 available on iTunes or directly from our website, sandspantsradio.com. Jesus is the same problem that I have with Star Wars. Jesus is in an elevator having a conversation. And he's on the cross. You were the chosen one. But he has the high ground. I was good, Jesus. You freed bad Jesus.
Starting point is 00:27:38 Oh, no, when he was on the cross, some guy was like, I shouldn't be up here with him. He's better than me or whatever. Yeah. I don't know. I wasn't there. That's your dream, though. One day you will be there. One day I'll go.
Starting point is 00:27:50 Back to Daniel. Keep telling us about Daniel. So he gets a little exosuit that he can turn into a car for a bit. That's kind of rad, right? That's bad, because then you have been a car. Not only do you think all cars could be people, now you've become a car. Then he goes off into space and has be people, now you've become a car.
Starting point is 00:28:05 Then he goes off into space. That's some kind of space adventure. Being a car can't feel good. Or maybe it feels sick. Maybe it's like a mech suit. Okay, so does it transform? It transforms, yes, but there's like a little dome bubble he can see out of.
Starting point is 00:28:19 Oh, that's heinous. He's kind of like looking up to the sky, almost like a pig looking up to the heavens. That is the worst thing you've ever made me imagine. I've become a cat! I'm a cat! How does a dog break his spine? He has a mech suit, right, like a robot suit,
Starting point is 00:28:35 and then he'll hit transform, and then he'll crouch into a car. Oh, no! And then just zip around. He must cramp all the time. Oh, heaps. So then he goes into space, and then his good friend,
Starting point is 00:28:45 I guess he's absent father figure, Hot Rod, becomes the new, gets the Matrix of Leadership. Sure. And becomes Rodimus. The Matrix of Leadership. I'm there. He gets that, opens it up, and becomes Rodimus Prime, but now becomes literally the Autobot full of responsibilities,
Starting point is 00:28:59 and so he doesn't have time for Daniel. Oh, I thought you meant Daniel became Rodimus. Nah. Well, let's take a brief moment to explore becoming a man whilst the Transformers are there to help you out. Yes. Let's role play. Okay.
Starting point is 00:29:13 Who would you like me to be? I'll be Witwicky. Okay. You can be Optimus Prime. You can be Rodimus Prime. I'm from the dead. I'm Rodimus Prime. I have the matrix of leadership.
Starting point is 00:29:22 Hey, Transformer dads, listen to me. Radimus Prime? Can I be RC? Okay. Some kind of, like, female figure there. Great. Yes. I jizzed the bad. What is jizz? I'll show you. Is that an oil? No,
Starting point is 00:29:40 I jizzed it out of my penis. What's a penis? I'll show you. Hey, this is bad. I have this. What's going on? Can you read a book and help me? What is this? I'm a car and I'm driving away.
Starting point is 00:29:54 Come back, Rasmus Prime. I also transform into a motorbike and run away. Ah, see, I need help. I'm going to go over and jump. Me Grimlock be Grimlock. Me Grimlock. Grimlock, I'm going through puberty as every boy must. I transform into a Tyrannosaurus Rex and run away.
Starting point is 00:30:17 Come back, Grimlock. I'm Optimus, not Prime. What's his name? I don't know. I don't know. The one that turns into a gorilla. Anyway, I'm that one. I thought it was Optimus Prime. Optimus Prime, mate. Yeah, I don't know The one that turns into a gorilla Optimus Prime
Starting point is 00:30:25 I'm that one Hey I'm becoming a man I'm turning into a gorilla Come back Prime Optimus Prime I'll be blue I've already had the door I've turned into a car I wish someone would help me with this train
Starting point is 00:30:42 Hello Megatron I'm becoming a. Hello, Megatron. I'm becoming a man. I hit you with my sword, killing you. Oh, no. If maybe I'd had not frightened away my Transformer parents with my puberty, I would have lived. That felt like a weird moral story.
Starting point is 00:31:01 Yeah, look. Okay, so no good is the takeaway there. Yeah, I just think there's no other humans around him Yes, it's bad At least Anakin had humanoids Some of them, yes, were like He's humanoid Is he?
Starting point is 00:31:14 If you go through puberty, Watto is going to be like I don't know Where's your egg sack? He's going to shit eggs out of his flaps or whatever Watto is horrible to imagine To imagine going through puberty Flaps or whatever. Watto is horrible to imagine. Behold. To touch. To touch.
Starting point is 00:31:29 To imagine going through puberty. Yeah. To imagine any of his stages of life. He is like, okay. Imagine him shaving. Hey, hey. In episode three, he's like there with a beard or whatever. Now imagine Watto shaving to be clean shaven. Watto kind of feels like.
Starting point is 00:31:43 Like shaving a toad. shaving to be clean shaven. Well, water kind of feels like... Like shaving a toad. So, like, water kind of feels like it goes Bob Hoskins, Wario, water. Like, that's the evolution. Yeah, absolutely. Hey, can you imagine Wado searching...
Starting point is 00:31:57 So he's got, like, a punnet of eggs. Yeah. Punnet? Yeah, a punnet of eggs. And he's searching them to see which ones are the good ones, and his gross nose is like and he can tell and he eats the eggs whole yeah
Starting point is 00:32:09 that's what I just imagine the eggs are soft yeah Annie if you leave an egg in vinegar overnight eat my soft eggs
Starting point is 00:32:16 Annie vinegary hate that yeah so I think being raised by cars little orphan Annie. Wait, does he ever call him that?
Starting point is 00:32:26 Probably not. Little Annie. Annie. The sun will come out tomorrow. I don't know if that's from the musical Annie. The sun will come out tomorrow. That's right. But being raised by trucks, it's no good.
Starting point is 00:32:41 It treats you very poorly, and you don't end up a normal, well-adjusted human. Because even if you're like, oh, yes, I'm around cars a lot, I can become maybe a mechanic in my later... No. No. You've been around Autobots.
Starting point is 00:32:52 They're dudes. You don't know what's under a car, like a regular car. You don't know what's inside them. They don't have the same feelings as you. You wouldn't even know how to drive. You'd just hop into a car and be like, cool.
Starting point is 00:33:03 Oh, my old car was a guy. Hey, buddy, why aren't you moving? Buddy? And then you'd tap it and you'd be like, oh, no, I'm inside a dead corpse. I'm in a corpse. And then you'd have an accidental crisis. Remember Optimus Prime dying? But Optimus Prime goes black and white.
Starting point is 00:33:17 So if you're getting into a car and it's not black and white, you'd assume that it's just being rude. Wait, wait, I've never seen this. So Optimus Prime dies and like a bug, the colour drains from him. Does he go crispy and if you touch him, he just becomes ash? No one touches him. I want to say yes.
Starting point is 00:33:33 Someone should. But yeah. I think you would be like, oh no, I'm in either the, this Transformer has died, or like, oh no, they're dying and then you've got to try and give a car CPR. You're socked on an exhaust pipe?
Starting point is 00:33:47 That's not how I would give a car CPR. That's how you beat out a car. That old man is dying. Turn him around. Turn him around. I've got to give CPR. This will wake him up. Oh wait, there is like historical evidence
Starting point is 00:33:59 that that's what blowing smoke up your ass comes from. Well, there you go. You know what? You got it wrong. So we're just sucking on that tailpipe that's going to wake up from this promo quick smile. Look, you're about as smart as we were in the 1800s. blow and smoke up your ass well there you go you know what you got wrong so we douche is sucking on that tailpipe it's gonna wake Optimus Prime up quick smart look
Starting point is 00:34:07 you're about as smart as we were in the 1800s whilst watching Optimus Prime dying and wit wicky crying over his body and you just hear like a
Starting point is 00:34:14 please stop blowing into his tailpipe I'm gonna bring him back to life imagine it worked so what kills Optimus Prime because I also
Starting point is 00:34:26 Megatron does Megatron also die is it the classic well what happens is so there's a fight and they both
Starting point is 00:34:33 kind of injure each other for all those 90s kids out there that don't give a shit about Transformers it's cool that we're getting a recap of Phantom Menace
Starting point is 00:34:40 to revenge and a recap of Transformers that's great let's not forget also we got a recap of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Only 90s kids remember.
Starting point is 00:34:48 Only 90s kids remember. So yeah, they have a fight with Stan Bush's You Got the Touch. And they're both fighting each other. They've got a bomb-y knocker and a sword, and they stab each other. But it's all energized. Sure. Optimus Prime gets mortally wounded,
Starting point is 00:35:04 but they all just have to go and fuck off. and as megatron's like i'm dying star screams like out the astro space jet and then you know um what's his name unicron picks him up and he's like you're gonna be a new lad that sounds too complicated for my child brain so okay so it's similar to the Doomsday Superman thing where they both die, but then there's a different ending because Doomsday isn't brought back by a planet. Superman God. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:33 To be like, you are now... You're Superman now, basically. A different guy. Yeah, you're now a different guy. And alive. Do you reckon that... You've got a big gun arm. Donnie Witwicky or whatever his name is
Starting point is 00:35:44 will ever leave the Transformers to live? Like, is he going to get a job? Well, no. What kind of job will looking after Transformers prepare you for? Just looking after Transformers. No, but not mechanic because you'd look under a car and be like, where's the guts? Where's your Autobot pain?
Starting point is 00:36:02 But, like, what I mean is that, like that is he going to ever live a life? You know what I mean? Well this is why every single Witwicky seems to be like a lackey of the Transformers because I have no other skills. I guess we're going to be the lackey of the Transformers. At least in the Michael Bay films they explore the fact that Sam Witwicky has no career
Starting point is 00:36:20 options. He's always broke and he's always looking for work. And he hates the Transformers. It's kind of great that in those movies Sam Wickey's like, you ruined my life! My mum thinks I'm having a wank because of you! You have human balls! They don't have human balls, but they
Starting point is 00:36:35 have like truck balls. Do they? Yeah, the Transformers. And Bumblebee pisses on the annoying FBI guy or whatever, but that's crazy because he's a dude. He knows what he's doing. Imagine knowing a guy that just happily pissed on authority. That's intense.
Starting point is 00:36:51 Maybe the Michael Bay movies are the classics for a reason. Maybe they are. How many absent stepdads we're given? It's pretty rough, but it's like otherworldly rough. I can't conceive being raised by cars. I'm going to have to go 2.5 absent dads, I feel. I think I'm going to go three because it's bad, but I can't. I don't think we have the science to find out how.
Starting point is 00:37:12 I think that it's so bad at points that it becomes ridiculous and you're desensitized. I think so. Because I think when he gets to his mid-20s, he's just going to be like, I don't know what I can do, but I know I can become a car. And then he's just going to be like a race car. And then career opportunity Uber driver.
Starting point is 00:37:27 Yeah, well, I was just thinking, imagine a sad... He's a fella. Five stars. Imagine a sad Transformers thing. My car was a fella. Five stars. Hey, I'm just going to get it done. Okay, yeah, yeah, okay, yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:38 It's so sad to imagine slamming that Uber sticker over the Autobot sticker on the back of the car oh like all the other transformers leave except daniel and bumblebee or whoever his car was and they just wheelie or wheelie and they just drive together oh that's tragic oh that is okay so let's say we settle on three absent three absent dads and just sad yeah okay extra sad like an extra sad dad, you know? Well, I'm picking Indominus Rex from Jurassic World. Oh, brave, not a guy. The genetic dinosaur created by InGen to amuse the park goers.
Starting point is 00:38:13 Yes. I'm aware. So, Jackson, for anyone who isn't aware, which is not us, because we're big Jurassic Park heads. I'll give a recap of Jurassic Park world. Yes. So, they've opened the park, but they don't want to just sell regular dinosaurs because who cares yeah so instead what they're doing is
Starting point is 00:38:33 they create a new dinosaur out of other dinosaur bits and they're like this dinosaur will be the greatest attraction ever it's violent it's dangerous that's what the people love that's sexy we put it in a tiny cage and then we barely pay attention we give them one lazy security guard to look after it and one evil scientist and then Indominus rex
Starting point is 00:38:55 gets out, kills some people dies like a dickhead but as the Indominus rex you don't know that you've given a lazy security guard you're smart, I guess you do know I'm like, these people have neglected me. I'm the cleverest dinosaur there ever was.
Starting point is 00:39:09 But this dinosaur is also kind of an uber mensch. Yeah. Made from all the best bits. Yeah, but it doesn't have a nice home. It's the elephant. It's not raised. They're like established. You're right.
Starting point is 00:39:21 Look, hey, the question that we're discussing today wasn't, is the Indominus Rex good? No. You're right. Look, hey, the question that we're discussing today wasn't... Is the Adonis Rex good? No. In fact, it was which character had the worst fictional upbringing? Yeah, so he's in an enclosure that a human... They're like, hey, you can have... Basically a slave, similar to Anakin.
Starting point is 00:39:38 Anakin, that's true. But a slave for entertainment. Yes, exactly. Like a performing circus animal that they've tied up. Like an ape that is handcuffed to a clown. Yes, exactly. Like a performing circus animal that they've tied up. Like an ape that is handcuffed to a clown. Yeah, exactly. Wow! What an image! Holy shit! I need to
Starting point is 00:39:54 take a moment. The clown's smoking a cigarette. That's terrifying. And the monkey's got little symbols. In my mind it was just a really sad chimp and I was like, I've entered the wrong part of town. In my mind it was a real sad clown. The ch was like I've entered the wrong part of tech I'm glad it was a real sad clown the chimp loving it
Starting point is 00:40:08 maybe the clown's tied to the chimp the chimp's like the clown's in danger you think the chimp is tied to the chimp but it's not the clown so basically
Starting point is 00:40:17 you're the clown in the situation yeah absolutely and also it's established later on that the Indominus rex is a social animal because it like
Starting point is 00:40:24 hangs out with the velociraptors and does little ah ah ah to each other or whatever that's my later on that the Indominus rex is a social animal because it like hangs out with the velociraptors and does little to each other or whatever that's my dinosaur noise that's a bark no no no that's the dino yeah it kind of does like a
Starting point is 00:40:33 you know I can't stop mocking me look at me I'm a raptor but it's established let's just make a chicken noise it's established he's clucking.
Starting point is 00:40:46 You hungry, fella? Excuse me. What noise does a cat make? You know the cat. I'd like to hear your best impersonation of a raptor, then. Yeah, that's what I thought. Oh, that's good. Douches isn't bad. Damage isn't bad. No, that's good Douches isn't Damage isn't bad
Starting point is 00:41:08 No that's fair But we know that The Indominus Rex Gets on with raptors Like it has a good time With them But it's just left alone In it's cage
Starting point is 00:41:16 It just seems quite lonely Yeah And what noise Does it make in it's cage Mark that was pathetic it's sad it's sad it is sad
Starting point is 00:41:29 and then it they bring in Chris Pratt and they're like Chris Pratt's gonna talk to you in Raptor he points at one and points at the other
Starting point is 00:41:36 he's like hmm yes pointing Raptor this is gosh oh bluey yeah and then it gets out you talk to red
Starting point is 00:41:43 you talk to green you talk to me me I'm talking to, you talk to red. Red, you talk to green. Green, you talk to me. Ah, me. I'm talking to blue now. Blue to red. The whole thing is just pointing in a direction going, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah. But he's so handsome. Consume.
Starting point is 00:41:56 That's how it should have ended. Then the Indominus rex gets out and eats the park. Which is pretty neat. But none of our other people that we've brought up, our other childhoods, have ended in a sweet revenge. Anakin, oh, well, Anakin does kill all those kids. And then all the Jedi. Yeah, that's a good point. No, that's fair.
Starting point is 00:42:13 And then he does end up killing Sheev. Yeah, that's true. He kills all his father figures. That's a good point. Well, he doesn't kill water. We don't. Time kills water. Time kills water.
Starting point is 00:42:24 Or maybe a bat. We don't know Time kills water. Time kills water. Or maybe a bat. We don't know. One of them Tatooine bats. I meant a bat as in like a... Like a baseball bat, but yeah. A bigger water coming and grabbing water out of the sky and flying off. There's always a bigger water. They get feral the bigger they get.
Starting point is 00:42:43 I can also imagine Jabba the Hutt eating him Me too He's like a snack for Jabba the Hutt What noise does Jabba make? Right? Jabba the Hutt What noise does he make? Jabba the Hutt
Starting point is 00:42:54 Oh yeah but it's like real deep Because you can imagine like the young Waddle Dee You're really good good at job of the heart but can't do a dinosaur what's going on um yeah so the rat friend he's got he's great he's me he's who i identify with in the star wars trilogy um but yeah so the indominus rex i don't know it doesn't really have a father figure and it's only... Does Chris Pratt have a father figure? It doesn't have a parent figure at all and it's only put on stage like it's only created,
Starting point is 00:43:32 its sole function is to be entertaining and it won't be entertaining. You know who this is sounding very similar to? King Kong. Yeah, it is like King Kong. Except King Kong not a baby. Yeah, and King Kong... He's pretty young though. His mum and dad die. That's true. King Kong not a baby. He's pretty young though. His mum and dad die. That's true. King Kong is a baby.
Starting point is 00:43:47 How old? King Kong is baby. King Kong big but little. King Kong big baby. Big? Yeah. But little. But King Kong must have been raised. King Kong raised by New York. Yeah, King Kong baby because maybe like, is it Marion? What's her
Starting point is 00:44:04 name? Marion, yeah. Maybe we're all thinking like, ah yes, he's loved. No, King Kong baby because maybe like, is it Marion? What's her name? Marion, yeah. Maybe we're all thinking like, ah yes, he's loved. No, motherfucker. Maybe. Maybe. I miss her mum. He's put out his hand and he goes, ooh. But that ooh means mum. That ooh means I miss you mummy. I'm sad.
Starting point is 00:44:19 Well, King Kong must have been raised by bigger gorillas at some point. Yeah. So then his upbringing, has it ended? Because he's no longer being brought up. He's fending for himself. Then he climbs up, but then he falls down. But can he parent, say, die? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:35 Is there a version of King Kong where he doesn't die? Where he just keeps going. Climbs up to heaven. It's also good to imagine a King Kong where he doesn't die. That means he gets to the top and then gets down and walks back to the island King Kong's always leaving what's the plan now Kong
Starting point is 00:44:51 he's going to do that lovely shame climb back down gentle King Kong tiptoeing around the 1920s cars does King Kong kill people? he eats them just like the Indominus Rex but I guess if I'm. Does King Kong kill people? Yeah. He eats them. Good, just checking. Just like the Indominus Rex. Yeah, but I guess if I'm
Starting point is 00:45:07 arguing that King Kong stopped being brought up when his parents died, the Indominus Rex, I guess, stops being brought up when it leaves its cage. But Indominus Rex is also, how old is it? It's pretty young. Can the scientist be its father? Yeah. If you're grown in a lab,
Starting point is 00:45:24 Frankenstein lab Frankenstein That's a Frankenstein's monster That's a pretty bad upbringing It's kind of the Indominus Rex It's kind of the same thing Hey if you don't name your kid Is it Frankenstein rules? Like if I have a kid and I'm just like I'm not naming this kid
Starting point is 00:45:39 That becomes Joel's monster Joel's monster If you had a kid but you didn't name it I would have to refer to it as Joel's son Or Joel's daughter Or Joel's monster Joel's monster yeah well if you had a kid but you didn't name it I would have to refer to it as Joel's son or Joel's daughter or Joel's monster yeah
Starting point is 00:45:50 or Joel's if you were like no Jackson it's my monster when the little kids like playing up and ripping things like nice
Starting point is 00:45:55 Joel's monster Joel's monster for some reason yeah that's good yeah but yeah no Frankenstein monsters are terrible
Starting point is 00:46:03 it's kind of your dad's like ah kill it imagine being made and you're like well okay first i gotta deal with the fact that i'm alive that's rough that's hard to deal with but i got it and then your dad's like yuck i shouldn't have done this that blind girl is like let me read you a book and he's like yeah raised by blind girl by blind girl. Kills blind girl. No. Frankenstein's monster. Dad hates. Meets new mom. Kills new mom.
Starting point is 00:46:29 Yeah. Scared. Demands wife. Gets wife? No. Gets almost wife. I don't know. Doesn't get wife.
Starting point is 00:46:39 Meet young girl. Dad changes mind. Meet young girl. Pet head. Chase dad. To the Arctic. Yeah. In the Arctic meets sea captain. Meet young girl. Chase dad. To the Arctic. Yeah. In the Arctic, meet sea captain.
Starting point is 00:46:48 Pretty good day. I love Frankenstein's monster's diary. It's good. It's good. Interesting. Well, how many absent dads are we going to give the Indominus rex? I just don't know how, like, it's just, I mean, it's lonely. Yeah, it's just, look, it's not...
Starting point is 00:47:07 But, like, his dad, I'm guessing, is, like, one of the scientists, and the scientist's there. Dog in a gutter. My analogies are real weird today. It's like finding a dog in the gutter that goes rab and you gotta put down. Yeah. That's sad. It's sad, but I'm not gonna be like, oh, that dog's
Starting point is 00:47:23 parents. I had a bad's parents I had a bad opera I had a bad opera The dog had a bad opera Yeah Because I don't know Is it nature versus nurture Well that's the question Is the Indominus rex evil inherent
Starting point is 00:47:35 Or is it raised wrong Or was it raised good Because the raising was part of the creation And scientists were like We're going to give it a good brain That's true Maybe Yeah I made it make The problem was it was too smart It's like a whole flowers for algernon and scientists were like, we're going to give it a good brain. That's true. Maybe. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:45 The problem was it was too smart. It was like a whole flowers for algernon beers. Yeah, I suppose. It was too smart for his own good. They'd made the Indominus rex a bit more of a dumb fuck. None of this would have happened. Exactly. They'd raise it with a dog brain or whatever,
Starting point is 00:48:00 had a look at the doors and been like, fuck. That's not happening. A dinosaur with a dog brain is scary. It's cool that they started mixing. They're like, all right, we get some reptilian DNA, frog. Chuck some dog in? Yeah, chuck some dog in. Yeah, chuck some dog in.
Starting point is 00:48:14 Let's see what happens. A dog brain would have fixed a lot of that problem. That's true. Put a man's brain in it. Nah, worst person. Well, there are some fan theories that it's got human DNA in it, and that's why it's so clever. That's pretty rough, upbringing-wise.
Starting point is 00:48:27 I don't know if human DNA makes you clever. You've got heaps of it, Jackson. You're dumb as shit. I've got too much of it. Do you reckon if you were in the same position as the Indominus Rex, you would have done the same thing? I mean, I would have been mad. If they were like, ladies and gentlemen, it's the Jolls.
Starting point is 00:48:43 I think I would have been mad. I can camouflage. You're saying you'd be annoyed to work in show business or a performer. No, you've been genetically bred by InGen scientists. To be a clown. Yeah. So you're like, you look in the mirror and you're like, this fucking goose point won't come off.
Starting point is 00:48:59 You're a terrible clown abomination, the two of you. So Pugalici or whatever his name is. You're Puglaichi. Yeah, because you've got to appeal, the two of you. So Pugalici or whatever his name is. You're Puglaici. Yeah, because you've got to appeal to the lowest common denominator. But, Doctor, I am the indominious Rex. Yeah, would you get angry, flee your cage and murder people? I would get angry, maybe flee my cage, maybe not murder.
Starting point is 00:49:22 Performing feels good sometimes. Wait, am I rewarded? Again, if I gave him the dog brain, they could have given him a bit of meat, scratched him in the belly, and away he goes. Scratching a dinosaur in the belly after feeding it meat is scary. People are nothing if not meat. It seems like they really neglect the Indominus rex.
Starting point is 00:49:39 There's nobody at the cage when people go to, when they're like, hey, Chris Pratt, here's the Indominus rex. There's just one guy. I feel that's less about like a terrible upbringing and maybe like... Terrible park security. It's almost like Jurassic Park slash world is a bad idea. It's like dropping your kid off at like say a childcare and the staff at the childcare are crap.
Starting point is 00:49:56 They just aren't there. Yeah. You look after my baby, yeah? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Go on, they're fine. I don't know. Leave, leave. Maybe it's the kind of thing where it's actually
Starting point is 00:50:03 just Jurassic World's problem. Like, they've got so much going on, they can't pay attention to the random genetic experiment they've got over in their minds. Their one headlining act. Yeah. Well, maybe it was a bad idea. I would hate to see the Indominus rex. It's camouflage anyway.
Starting point is 00:50:18 Well, it's just boring. Here's a hot thing. Dinosaurs, except for the big, like, brontosaurus. Who gives a shit? No, but the audience They wanna see them carnivore If they'd made the horrible clown abomination Here's a fucking thing
Starting point is 00:50:31 Zoos occasionally do live feedings You know what everyone does Fucking hates it Because it's awful to see Yeah it's rough You don't wanna watch a lion eat a fucking giraffe That's bad No no no no
Starting point is 00:50:41 There was that Yeah there was that zoo And then they had to kill a giraffe and they fed it to lions and everyone could watch and no one was happy. There were so many complaints and outrage because of it. Exactly. But also, you don't
Starting point is 00:50:56 know. I mean, I know this is just ragging on Jurassic World right now. I don't know. Brave call. I know a lot. You don't know every dinosaur. Okay? That's a bold claim, but I believe it's true. Give me a dinosaur. Just name one. A pachycephalosaurus. I know a lot. You don't know every dinosaur. That's a bold claim, but I believe it's true. Give me a dinosaur. Just name one. Pachycephalosaurus. I know it. I feel like that was a trap.
Starting point is 00:51:12 Give me another one. Stegosaurus. No, I know that one too. Maybe I'm wrong. But imagine the three of us are at Jurassic World, and we've been looking at the dinos. It's been a great day. We're sunburned. It's a hot day. I forgot to bring a hat. It's Isle of Natura or whatever
Starting point is 00:51:26 yeah exactly sure and we see Isle de Muertos Isle de Muertos the island for pirates of the Caribbean that can't be found
Starting point is 00:51:35 except by those who already know where it is that doesn't make sense anyway continue so pirates are dumb as hell shut up pirates
Starting point is 00:51:42 you're not even good you're just thieves with a boat. Fuck. You just... Fuck. If any pirates are listening to this, they are going to be living.
Starting point is 00:51:53 Fuck, man. It's crazy to watch pirates get called. No, you're not. That's what makes it so powerful. That's the hottest take. But if we saw the Indominus rex, I don't know enough about dinosaurs to not know that that's a new animal
Starting point is 00:52:06 It's kind of like when you go to the zoo There's an empty enclosure Or it's an enclosure but you can't see the animal Because of like it's camouflage Or it's asleep or whatever You're not like wow You're like onto the next enclosure Yeah exactly you look in for a bit and you're like
Starting point is 00:52:21 Oh there's the big cat up the back If only I had a big stick I could poke it with. Yeah, cool. And then you leave. It'd be the same thing. I'd be looking in and I'd be like, I guess this was fine. I know that back there we can literally ride them. So let's spend all day there.
Starting point is 00:52:35 Yeah. If I see a dinosaur, I want to touch a dinosaur. You know? I want to hold one of those brontosauruses around its big neck and choke it out. Not allowed. No, I want to punch one of its necks. Oh my god. It's like a swan's neck.
Starting point is 00:52:51 You know a swan's neck is almost evolutionarily designed to be choked. Everyone talks about the existence of the banana is the proof of the existence of God. The swan's neck is proof of God. It fits in the palm of your hand. Something about it. That's why the queen protects them all
Starting point is 00:53:05 She wants to break all of the medics themselves She's like if I didn't put a rule down Everyone would Everyone would It's just a whole big thing So not only is the Indominus rex neglected And raised wrong If everything went to plan
Starting point is 00:53:21 No one would care and they'd probably put it down Yeah at least give it some people Another one to play with everything went to plan, no one would care and they'd probably put it down. Yeah, at least give it some people to, like, another one to play with. Yeah. At least the raptors, just to chill with. What happens if you put two in a thing? Do they fight? Well, they only made one.
Starting point is 00:53:35 Like, idiots. And also, I don't know, if you've got the ability to make mutants, make mutants, you know? Yeah. If you've got the ability to make terrible abominations, crimes against God. Yeah. Make a snake with a man's head.
Starting point is 00:53:47 What happens? You have the power to spit in God's face. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Give me some kind of big worm with an arm. Yeah. Oh, a worm that has a worm's head but an arm as a tail. And it climbs trees. It just holds onto trees.
Starting point is 00:54:02 One big hand. I imagine they were just like, we made the Indominus rex, but we turned the leg genome up like crazy. And it's like a caterpillar dinosaur. And I'm like, this is all right. I still can't get over a worm with a hand for a tail. That's good. Just like a powerful arm.
Starting point is 00:54:18 Are you imagining it walking like a thing? No, I'm imagining it like, so sir look when you're looking at this my elbow is its head so it's like kind of just like that yeah and is the tail okay yeah I see that I see yeah see all of these would be great yeah the indominus rex boring for a head but then it has worm mouth no so a hand then worm body then a thumb yes the thumb is like fingernail pointing to the sky. And you know what's great about that? I can make it happen.
Starting point is 00:54:48 You're not going to fucking kill me. Or mine. It's horrible if it does. You wake up being choked by a worm. Oh, no. No, no, no. It's big, boys. I'm not saying...
Starting point is 00:54:57 Look, I've solved... My one biggest thing about the anonymous Rex, their size. It might kill you. No, like, I didn't solve the killing problem It might kill you But it's cool It's great to see it And we're like
Starting point is 00:55:08 Can we make it big You're like Well how big can we make it We talk We talk as big as a car No no no no I'm like 40% big
Starting point is 00:55:16 You're like Well we can go 50 40% big You're You're Bloody 70% big Might as well go
Starting point is 00:55:24 60, 70, 70% big might as well go 60, 70% big and look 70 I prefer round numbers so let's just suck it to 100 let's call it 100% big
Starting point is 00:55:30 by then 100% everyone's like that's 100% but we can go bigger double or nothing it's 100% big
Starting point is 00:55:39 it's nothing but this giant mutant arm that chokes us all and we're like damn if only that had a better father figure if you create two they can clap
Starting point is 00:55:48 aren't you glad we didn't make the Indominus fracks that would have sucked so I guess that worm had the worst upbringing of all us us being like what if he was bigger nah look son if only you were bigger
Starting point is 00:56:03 you wouldn't be a disappointment to me. It's thumb mouth scream. It's about that wide. Like the size of a big tree sliding in. I've given it vocal cords for some reason. Papa! Papa! Yeah, look.
Starting point is 00:56:20 Why did you make me so big? You say big, I say small. We could have made you bigger. And to be perfectly honest, it wasn't my decision to stop. Sacre bleu. Where you are. I wanted at least another 30% big. But here we are.
Starting point is 00:56:39 Am I a worm or am I a man? You're a disappointment is what I'm trying to say. a worm or am I a man? You're a disappointment is what I'm trying to say. Sad, salty worm tears rolling down his beautiful pink cheeks. Well then
