SPEAKER_1: Hello?
SPEAKER_2: How are you?
SPEAKER_1: Oh, I'm doing pretty well.
SPEAKER_1: Just sort of sitting here, you know, waiting to record a podcast.
SPEAKER_2: Yeah, I'm Clair.
SPEAKER_1: I'm Brianna.
SPEAKER_2: Yeah.
SPEAKER_1: Nice to meet you.
SPEAKER_2: Nice to meet you too.
SPEAKER_2: Hey, do you wanna do a podcast together?
SPEAKER_1: Sure, I'd love to do a podcast together.
SPEAKER_2: Do you wanna call it Salt Cravings and talk about our cravings?
SPEAKER_1: Sure, can we also solve those cravings?
SPEAKER_2: Yeah, I think we should solve those cravings.
SPEAKER_2: Do you want it to be about jokes, or do you want it to be about serious matters?
SPEAKER_1: I think I'd like it to be about jokes, specifically if we could make jokes wherein we pretend that we don't have a podcast already.
SPEAKER_1: I think those would be the best jokes for us to make.
SPEAKER_2: Yeah, those are original and good jokes.
SPEAKER_2: Should we start now?
SPEAKER_2: Do you wanna give me a craving?
SPEAKER_1: Sure, sure, sure, sure.
SPEAKER_2: Maybe we can solve it.
SPEAKER_1: Yeah, sure.
SPEAKER_1: Should we do an intro for the people of just like, hey, and welcome to Salt Cravings, my name's Brianna.
SPEAKER_1: You're Clair, blah.
SPEAKER_2: Yeah, this is like a podcast where we solve cravings.
SPEAKER_2: That's an interesting idea.
SPEAKER_1: Yeah, I like that.
SPEAKER_1: Cool, all right, I'll give you a craving then.
SPEAKER_2: Great.
SPEAKER_1: So my first craving today is ASMR.
SPEAKER_1: ASMR, I mean, specifically unintentional, we have to talk in this voice the whole time for this craving.
SPEAKER_1: Okay, this is the ASMR voice.
SPEAKER_2: So what is it about ASMR that gets you going?
SPEAKER_1: Don't please don't use that word.
SPEAKER_1: It is fully non-sexual.
SPEAKER_1: It's unintentional ASMR.
SPEAKER_1: It's when people are not necessarily trying to do ASMR, not like role play ASMR videos.
SPEAKER_1: I just love to see people like do things that are difficult and like take repetitive action if it's interesting.
SPEAKER_1: Let's get that good, good tangle.
SPEAKER_1: Should we maybe explain?
SPEAKER_1: Is there anyone who doesn't know what ASMR is at this point?
SPEAKER_2: You could at least say what the acronym means.
SPEAKER_2: Um, boy, automatically sympathetic motor response.
SPEAKER_1: Nope, you tried, but it's autonomous sensory meridian response.
SPEAKER_1: Sounds a lot more meaningless, but essentially ASMR is when certain sites, sounds, other sensual feelings, sensory inputs, sensory inputs, like give you tingles around like the back of your head, neck and back, and it can be a really nice sensation.
SPEAKER_1: And it is often thought it was very weird because a lot of it is very weird.
SPEAKER_1: And I feel very weird about like role play videos, which is where people pretend to be like doctors.
SPEAKER_2: There's one that's like they're cutting your hair or something.
SPEAKER_1: Yeah.
SPEAKER_2: Like, Ooh, we're just going to snip a little bit off here.
SPEAKER_1: Like it'll be, yeah, it will be literally stuff like that.
SPEAKER_2: So it's like all the discomfort of a haircut without actually getting the haircut.
SPEAKER_1: Yeah.
SPEAKER_1: I need ASMR that doesn't make me feel like I'm watching an ASMR video.
SPEAKER_1: You know, I need to be learning something so I can justify it in my internal brain.
SPEAKER_2: Educational ASMR.
SPEAKER_1: Educational ASMR is super duper cool.
SPEAKER_1: I watch one channel that's a dude making knives out of various materials that you wouldn't normally make knives out of.
SPEAKER_1: There's one channel that is about like Japanese wood carving.
SPEAKER_1: Some cooking channels can do this pretty well.
SPEAKER_1: When people have accents, that often helps.
SPEAKER_1: One of the more common ones is like medical training videos, which is just like it's a video of a doctor performing on like a patient as an actor of giving them a checkup or doing a certain thing for them.
SPEAKER_1: Some of them are very, very good.
SPEAKER_1: And stuff like this.
SPEAKER_1: And I'm like, oh, that's interesting.
SPEAKER_1: And also, oof, those tingles though.
SPEAKER_2: So I have tried to listen to some ASMR.
SPEAKER_2: I'm going to be honest.
SPEAKER_2: I just can't get behind the ASMR with voices.
SPEAKER_2: That doesn't do it.
SPEAKER_2: If there are words, if I understand the words, then I'm like, hmm, there are words in my ears, and I do not like how soft they are because it's kind of creepy.
SPEAKER_2: But I do like the cooking ones.
SPEAKER_1: I see that.
SPEAKER_1: I think like certain voices are very good.
SPEAKER_1: Accents are extremely good.
SPEAKER_1: Pretty much any accent at all.
SPEAKER_2: So does that mean there's like how some people are foot models?
SPEAKER_2: There's like ASMR, not models, but champions?
SPEAKER_1: There are, yeah.
SPEAKER_1: There's like, this is not really what I watch, because as I've said, I'm really more into like unintentional stuff.
SPEAKER_1: But for intentional ASMR, there's a lot of people out there who have very big channels full of lots of videos and are very popular with ASMR communities.
SPEAKER_1: It's actually quite an interesting subculture because it's like a group of people trying to get this thing taken seriously and not seen as a weird sex thing.
SPEAKER_2: You know my least favorite ASMR sounds?
SPEAKER_1: Mouth sounds?
SPEAKER_1: Yeah, it's the worst.
SPEAKER_1: It's the worst.
SPEAKER_1: Please stop.
SPEAKER_1: You're bothering me and the listeners.
SPEAKER_1: I've watched a video before of someone using clay to replicate mouth sounds and somehow that's fine.
SPEAKER_1: But actual mouth sounds are like, no, you stop that.
SPEAKER_1: Stop that.
SPEAKER_1: But my question here, Clair, in order to solve the craving of unintentional ASMR, what's some other things that people can do that could serve as unintentional ASMR?
SPEAKER_2: Reading the newspaper.
SPEAKER_2: Ooh, that's good.
SPEAKER_2: I think the newspaper folding is just a good crinkly sound.
SPEAKER_1: It's a good crinkly sound.
SPEAKER_1: Oh, and you could read it out loud also, and that would be very good if you just read it very softly.
SPEAKER_2: Oh, eggs are $4.99 this week.
SPEAKER_2: Bananas are $2.00 for one.
SPEAKER_1: Today's story is there was a murder.
SPEAKER_1: That is the potential issue with reading the newspaper, is that some news is bad, and then you're just listening to someone read the newspaper, and you're like, oh, I'm sad now.
SPEAKER_1: But them tingles.
SPEAKER_2: Alternative.
SPEAKER_1: Alternative?
SPEAKER_2: It is just sex noises.
SPEAKER_1: Clair, do you want to explain more as to why that would A, work, and B, not be the worst?
SPEAKER_2: You don't ever tell someone it's sex noises, and you do just label it as walking through a squishy forest.
SPEAKER_2: No, no.
SPEAKER_1: Sound of someone slapping someone, you know?
SPEAKER_1: I slap my poor brother.
SPEAKER_1: This is bad.
SPEAKER_1: This is the worst place you could have gone, Clair.
SPEAKER_1: This is the worst place.
SPEAKER_1: This brother slaps.
SPEAKER_1: I hate that.
SPEAKER_1: Thank you.
SPEAKER_1: I think also, what about programming ASMR?
SPEAKER_2: Oh, like you're just typing?
SPEAKER_1: Yeah, you're just typing.
SPEAKER_2: And then it's like, so it's like...
SPEAKER_1: And every so often...
SPEAKER_2: And then it's like...
SPEAKER_1: Yeah, exactly.
SPEAKER_2: Why isn't this working?
SPEAKER_1: This will work really well.
SPEAKER_2: It worked yesterday.
SPEAKER_1: Where am I having this?
SPEAKER_2: I literally didn't change anything.
SPEAKER_1: What's happening?
SPEAKER_1: That's extremely good.
SPEAKER_1: Someone playing video games with the sound off.
SPEAKER_2: Is that not how other people play video games?
SPEAKER_1: There can be easy mode videos, hard mode videos.
SPEAKER_2: Easy mode videos is just like some game controls.
SPEAKER_1: Yeah, it is.
SPEAKER_2: What about some vacuuming ASMR?
SPEAKER_2: My upstairs neighbors are vacuuming, so it's a self-made.
SPEAKER_2: This is a new vacuum ASMR.
SPEAKER_2: Enjoy.
SPEAKER_1: Perfect.
SPEAKER_1: Great.
SPEAKER_1: Good vacuuming ASMR.
SPEAKER_2: I just think chugging sports water bottles.
SPEAKER_2: When it's break time and you take your water bottle, and because you have three water bottles and 20 people on a team, you never actually put the water bottle to your lips and you just sort of spray it in your mouth.
SPEAKER_1: Yeah.
SPEAKER_2: Just that.
SPEAKER_1: Yeah, that's great.
SPEAKER_1: That sounds like a really good auditory.
SPEAKER_2: That's my water bottle noise.
SPEAKER_1: I really, really like that.
SPEAKER_1: I think that would do super good things for my ears, which would go, oh yes, that's what I want.
SPEAKER_2: I want the wet, splishy, splashy.
SPEAKER_2: Give me the wet, splishy, splashy.
SPEAKER_1: Again, something that could be replicated with mouth sounds.
SPEAKER_1: I have a really good idea.
SPEAKER_1: Again, this is unintentional ASMR.
SPEAKER_1: Filming an ASMR video ASMR.
SPEAKER_2: How is that different than the ASMR?
SPEAKER_1: Well, it's a different camera.
SPEAKER_1: Watching someone do ASMR on the camera that they're doing the ASMR video on, right?
SPEAKER_1: It's from a different perspective, showing that whole process.
SPEAKER_1: And then you get into the editing process.
SPEAKER_1: That's all ASMR too.
SPEAKER_1: Not intended to be ASMR, but it's unintentional ASMR.
SPEAKER_1: It's very important that it not be someone being like, I want to role play this.
SPEAKER_2: I have an idea for ASMR.
SPEAKER_2: What if we took like four to five different instruments, and then we made them make noise in a way that together, they sort of made similar notes.
SPEAKER_1: Do you think like someone's voice could also be involved in that?
SPEAKER_2: Yeah, but it would have to match up with at least one of...
SPEAKER_1: I don't...
SPEAKER_2: yeah.
SPEAKER_1: They'd have to change the pitch or whatever of their voice.
SPEAKER_2: gotta get some wave tone.
SPEAKER_2: It's all about...
SPEAKER_2: we can call it wave tone ASMR.
SPEAKER_1: Yeah, I like that.
SPEAKER_1: I like that a lot.
SPEAKER_2: You got any wave tone ASMR that I can listen to?
SPEAKER_1: I'm loving this new wave tone ASMR video.
SPEAKER_1: It's WTASMR.
SPEAKER_2: Wetosmer.
SPEAKER_1: We'll call them Wetosmers.
SPEAKER_1: This is a good invention that no one's come up with before.
SPEAKER_1: Do you want to give me a craving?
SPEAKER_1: Yeah.
SPEAKER_2: I'm kind of scared that my first craving is a little similar to something we've come up to previously, but I do want to emphasize...
SPEAKER_1: It's okay.
SPEAKER_2: I have a really hard time enjoying bath time.
SPEAKER_2: And I think it's because the bath is just too hard.
SPEAKER_2: And I want a soft bathtub.
SPEAKER_2: So my craving is a soft bathtub.
SPEAKER_2: Just to emphasize, I don't want a fucking carpeted bathtub.
SPEAKER_1: You were really on that kick before, and you've just decided that that's no longer going to work for you?
SPEAKER_2: Yeah, no.
SPEAKER_2: See, other people can have carpeted bathtubs, but my bathtub, if it's soft, can't be carpeted.
SPEAKER_2: So this is the thing.
SPEAKER_2: When it comes to bath time, I hate baths.
SPEAKER_2: I hate baths because they get really boring, they get cold.
SPEAKER_2: But most importantly, I can put up with that stuff, because that at least gives me some enjoyment for like 10 minutes.
SPEAKER_2: It's so hard on the body to sit down on a flat, weirdly shaped surface.
SPEAKER_1: Yeah, it really is.
SPEAKER_1: Yeah, bathtubs are like awful.
SPEAKER_1: I've seen those like bath pillows and stuff that can be somewhat useful, but also like not really useful.
SPEAKER_2: I've never even heard of a bath pillow.
SPEAKER_1: My parents have one.
SPEAKER_1: Yeah, it can be useful.
SPEAKER_1: But like the worst thing about a bath is you have to have the right bath mat to sit your butt on, because you need to not be sliding around.
SPEAKER_1: I have to like shave in the bath, and so like that means I can't be sliding around with a razor in my hand.
SPEAKER_2: Slipping and sliding ASMR bath time.
SPEAKER_1: God, yeah.
SPEAKER_1: But also people make those very abrasive bath mats.
SPEAKER_1: There are like holes in them.
SPEAKER_2: I think I had one of those as a kid.
SPEAKER_1: It's not a good time.
SPEAKER_1: It's not good for bath.
SPEAKER_1: That's not a bath time mat.
SPEAKER_2: Good for shower time.
SPEAKER_1: Good for shower time, but not for bath time.
SPEAKER_1: You need something that's just like a good bath mat.
SPEAKER_1: Alternatively, the answer to this one is pretty obvious.
SPEAKER_2: Is it a shower?
SPEAKER_1: No, no, no, no, no, no.
SPEAKER_1: You need a soft bathtub, right?
SPEAKER_2: Yeah.
SPEAKER_1: Well, a marshmallow bathtub.
SPEAKER_2: Oh, okay.
SPEAKER_1: It's just made out of marshmallow.
SPEAKER_1: I don't see what, like, that's pretty simple.
SPEAKER_2: Okay, I have one problem.
SPEAKER_1: What's this problem?
SPEAKER_2: I'm gonna want to eat it.
SPEAKER_1: You know, like, I mean...
SPEAKER_2: There's no other problems.
SPEAKER_2: It's perfect otherwise.
SPEAKER_2: Like, what if I eat the bathtub?
SPEAKER_1: I mean, I think the...
SPEAKER_2: What if I turn around and I'm like, instead of sitting on my tush, I turn around and I just start face first into this bathtub because I want to get the gooey goodness into my face hole.
SPEAKER_1: I mean, like, that is your call.
SPEAKER_1: Like, you'll just...
SPEAKER_1: You know, maybe you have a reserve of marshmallow fluff to, like, you know, put in where you...
SPEAKER_1: So it's a snack while you bath.
SPEAKER_2: So why wouldn't I just eat the marshmallow fluff?
SPEAKER_2: Oh, you know what?
SPEAKER_2: There you go.
SPEAKER_2: You need marshmallows while you're in the marsh bath.
SPEAKER_1: What if you were to set up, like, a little campfire outside the bathtub so you could just roast the marshmallows in your...
SPEAKER_1: that you have?
SPEAKER_2: What if there's just a big fire under the tub?
SPEAKER_1: A new way of warming baths.
SPEAKER_2: Yeah, so instead of having...
SPEAKER_1: So it's just cold water that you then boil.
SPEAKER_2: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_2: And then you get in, and it's sort of like a you bath stew.
SPEAKER_1: Now, the main issue with that is with the marshmallow bathtub, it would start to roast the marshmallow.
SPEAKER_2: Yeah, but, I mean, you get out once it's crispy, and then you have a big-ass marshmallow for supper.
SPEAKER_1: Great.
SPEAKER_2: And, you know, it's beautiful.
SPEAKER_1: Yeah, I mean, it's pretty full-proof.
SPEAKER_1: I mean, some people may want more permanent structures.
SPEAKER_1: Is there a more permanent soft structure?
SPEAKER_2: So, see, my main thing was, what if just a sponge bathtub?
SPEAKER_2: But then I was like, well, the water is gonna get absorbed.
SPEAKER_1: Well, that's why you need super water, which is incredibly dense water that won't get absorbed by-
SPEAKER_2: That's water if you use a super particle.
SPEAKER_1: It's super chemical.
SPEAKER_1: Sorry, it's super chemical is the technical term, where it just can't be absorbed by anything.
SPEAKER_2: Oh, what if you accidentally drink some?
SPEAKER_2: Dope.
SPEAKER_2: Oh.
SPEAKER_1: Well, if you do, then you get super powers.
SPEAKER_1: Because it's got super chemical in it, Clair.
SPEAKER_2: Great.
SPEAKER_1: That's how it works.
SPEAKER_1: It's just water and super chemical.
SPEAKER_1: It's not that special.
SPEAKER_2: Nothing that'll hurt you.
SPEAKER_1: Yeah, nothing that'll hurt you.
SPEAKER_1: I think I would also suggest, everyone puts water in a bath, but they don't think to put water in the bathtub.
SPEAKER_2: What?
SPEAKER_1: You know, like waterbeds?
SPEAKER_2: Oh, yeah, yeah, sure.
SPEAKER_1: Waterbed bathtub.
SPEAKER_2: Oh, my God.
SPEAKER_1: You have water in the tub and water in the tub, you know?
SPEAKER_2: And then you're just swimming in water.
SPEAKER_1: You're just swimming in water on water.
SPEAKER_1: It's like you're like 90% of the way to a sensory deprivation tank.
SPEAKER_2: Can I take this one step further?
SPEAKER_1: Of course you can.
SPEAKER_1: That's what this show is about.
SPEAKER_2: What if sort of instead of like a water bathtub, it's like a water bathtub suit that you then like wear up to your neck and you just lie down and you are just encased in the suit from neck down to your toes and then you fill that up with water and you're just sort of no more senses.
SPEAKER_1: Okay, this feels very close to a kink that probably exists somewhere.
SPEAKER_1: Also, my main concern with that was like I said, I tend to shave in the bath, right?
SPEAKER_2: Auto-shave.
SPEAKER_1: Auto-shaving, exactly.
SPEAKER_2: Shaves your whole body.
SPEAKER_1: It shaves your whole body and it does it perfectly, right?
SPEAKER_1: It just takes a note of...
SPEAKER_2: With lasers.
SPEAKER_1: Yeah, with lasers.
SPEAKER_1: It takes a note...
SPEAKER_2: It's fricking laser beams.
SPEAKER_1: Yeah.
SPEAKER_1: This is what people talk about when they talk about doing laser.
SPEAKER_1: This is what they mean.
SPEAKER_2: Yeah.
SPEAKER_1: Laser hair removal.
SPEAKER_2: Welcome to the laser Marsh Bath.
SPEAKER_2: No, I guess it's not Marsh Bath.
SPEAKER_2: It's water bath, right?
SPEAKER_2: What are we calling this?
SPEAKER_1: I mean, that's just the water bath.
SPEAKER_2: There's the water bath and then there's the water bath plus, and then there's the water bath plus suit.
SPEAKER_1: Yes, there's water bath plus suit.
SPEAKER_1: And it's important that it's very important to keep the distinction of water bath versus bath water, which is the bath water is in the water bath and you will be inside the bath water when you're in your water bath suit.
SPEAKER_1: Which has water in it.
SPEAKER_2: It has normal water in it.
SPEAKER_1: Well, it could be bath water as well.
SPEAKER_1: So you have bath water in your water bath suit, in your bath water, in your water bath bath.
SPEAKER_2: Great.
SPEAKER_2: One more problem.
SPEAKER_1: What's the problem?
SPEAKER_2: What if I want to snack?
SPEAKER_2: With normal bathtub, you have tools.
SPEAKER_2: You can set stuff up on your bathtub.
SPEAKER_2: It's a sturdy surface, it holds all your goods.
SPEAKER_2: But if it's a soft bathtub, how am I gonna get my good olives and cheese and my nice cold wine, two types of wine, one is in a red cup with red wine, one is in a white cup with white wine?
SPEAKER_1: Will you allow me to throw back?
SPEAKER_2: Sure.
SPEAKER_1: Because the handy helpers already solved this problem for us.
SPEAKER_1: We already have the handy helpers ready to go.
SPEAKER_1: They will feed you grapes like some emperor.
SPEAKER_1: Like some emperor in your water bath suit.
SPEAKER_2: What if we just had the handy helper suit?
SPEAKER_1: So can you describe to me what the handy helper suit is?
SPEAKER_1: Because I'm horrified by the idea.
SPEAKER_2: So did you ever watch Spy Kids?
SPEAKER_1: I think yeah.
SPEAKER_2: Do you remember the hand enemies that were just hands, but they were giant hands and two of the fingers were feet, two of the fingers were hands?
SPEAKER_1: I so do not fucking remember this.
SPEAKER_1: What the fuck?
SPEAKER_2: And the thumb was the head.
SPEAKER_1: So what Spy Kids was it?
SPEAKER_2: Number one.
SPEAKER_1: Okay, Spy Kids one was kind of a blur for me because I was deeply, deeply like terrified of the concept of those like blob things where they like turn people into those blob things.
SPEAKER_1: The hands.
SPEAKER_1: Oh, those are the hands.
SPEAKER_2: Yeah, those are hands.
SPEAKER_1: Oh, those are hands.
SPEAKER_2: Yeah, do you remember the guy with the hand face?
SPEAKER_2: God.
SPEAKER_2: Because he makes himself a hand.
SPEAKER_2: He turns himself into a hand face.
SPEAKER_1: I don't remember this, but like I was terrified of those things as a child.
SPEAKER_1: I was just like the experience of being transformed into one of these things and being unable to scream because all of your words are backwards.
SPEAKER_1: Yeah, so like so deeply horrifying to me.
SPEAKER_2: That's a great description.
SPEAKER_2: So imagine if that was a suit.
SPEAKER_1: No, Clair, I just told you this was my childhood fear and you've decided yes, let's make you into that.
SPEAKER_2: Okay, but consider it gives you grapes.
SPEAKER_2: It feeds you grapes.
SPEAKER_1: I guess that's a good point.
SPEAKER_2: It does have a thumb that just comes and stretches from behind your head.
SPEAKER_2: It goes around your shoulder.
SPEAKER_2: It's just like, here's a grape.
SPEAKER_2: It doesn't speak though.
SPEAKER_2: Maybe it does.
SPEAKER_2: It has speakers all over.
SPEAKER_1: Great.
SPEAKER_2: Just sort of you hear the voice in your head.
SPEAKER_1: Are you able to speak?
SPEAKER_2: Can I have the grape?
SPEAKER_2: Well, it depends on its mood.
SPEAKER_1: Oh, I don't like this.
SPEAKER_1: Can you take it off?
SPEAKER_2: Sure, eventually.
SPEAKER_1: Yeah, I really...
SPEAKER_1: Hey, Clair.
SPEAKER_1: Hey, Clair, we don't often veto things on this show.
SPEAKER_1: We really don't.
SPEAKER_1: But I'm vetoing this one.
SPEAKER_1: Because again, I cannot emphasize enough how hor-
SPEAKER_1: there is a part of me right now that is seven years old and she is terrified of the words that you're saying.
SPEAKER_1: The other option is it could just be out of some pillowy material.
SPEAKER_2: It's hydrophobic, pillowy material.
SPEAKER_1: Yeah, it's sort of like memory.
SPEAKER_2: It's not funny, it's just a good solution.
SPEAKER_1: Yeah, it's not...
SPEAKER_1: I don't think this is...
SPEAKER_1: We're here to solve cravings.
SPEAKER_1: And I think we just did that.
SPEAKER_2: What you do with a stranger when you first met them.
SPEAKER_2: Do you want to give me another craving?
SPEAKER_1: I would love to give you another craving.
SPEAKER_1: My second craving is for the things I'm writing.
SPEAKER_1: Listen, here's the simple truth about writers.
SPEAKER_1: Writers don't want to write.
SPEAKER_1: They want to see things come into existence fully formed so that they can read them.
SPEAKER_1: Writers don't want to be writers.
SPEAKER_1: They want to be readers of content that they have to make because no one else has made it yet.
SPEAKER_1: And Clair, I don't want to write, but I have a lot of things that I want to see in the world that don't exist.
SPEAKER_1: And so I really just want some other way, other than me having to put in hundreds of hours of effort into writing something, I would much rather have it just come into existence so I can read it.
SPEAKER_1: And I'm really craving not having to write out all of these books that I need, again, I need to have exist in the world.
SPEAKER_2: Have I got a solution for you?
SPEAKER_1: What's the solution, Clair?
SPEAKER_2: You might be familiar with it.
SPEAKER_2: It is collaborative storytelling.
SPEAKER_1: I'm actually fully and completely anti-collaborative storytelling.
SPEAKER_1: I think the only way that people can tell stories is as individuals and without outside influences.
SPEAKER_1: That's a joke.
SPEAKER_1: Tell me about how we do collaborative storytelling to fix this.
SPEAKER_2: Okay, collaborative storytelling.
SPEAKER_2: You and a bunch of other writers get into a room.
SPEAKER_2: You're all locked in a room for 48 hours.
SPEAKER_2: No one's told you why.
SPEAKER_2: And you have to...
SPEAKER_2: And then two hours in, a face comes up on a screen and it's wearing a clown mask with twirls on its cheeks.
SPEAKER_2: And it says, you have 46 hours left.
SPEAKER_2: You must write a story that is amazing, or else the room explodes.
SPEAKER_2: And then you all come up with a great story together by sharing your ideas.
SPEAKER_2: Collaborative storytelling.
SPEAKER_2: And it's really, it's the clown that helped you all out.
SPEAKER_2: That's the one that brought you all together.
SPEAKER_1: It really feels like you've decided to interpret collaborative storytelling as the film series Saw.
SPEAKER_2: Am I wrong?
SPEAKER_1: Well, that is kind of what writing groups are.
SPEAKER_1: Writing groups do exist, that's basically what they are.
SPEAKER_2: Saw is just the academic institution in this.
SPEAKER_1: Damn, this is some deep, deep stuff.
SPEAKER_1: I do think there is a good core there.
SPEAKER_1: Again, we do not have to go into murder territory.
SPEAKER_1: There does not have to be any murders in order for us to solve our cravings.
SPEAKER_2: As long as there's a great story at the end.
SPEAKER_1: Well, no, I'm just saying, I don't know if murder needs to be on the table when discussing the fact that I want things to exist.
SPEAKER_2: How do you know they aren't bluffing?
SPEAKER_1: Is it a bluff or is it a double bluff?
SPEAKER_1: Or is it a triple bluff?
SPEAKER_1: Never go up against saw thing when death is on the line.
SPEAKER_1: That's a pretty good idea.
SPEAKER_1: Alternatively, there is just the idea of paying people to do it for you.
SPEAKER_1: Okay, great.
SPEAKER_1: There's also that.
SPEAKER_2: So like a commission.
SPEAKER_1: Yeah, sort of like a commission.
SPEAKER_2: Can you just commission a whole book from someone?
SPEAKER_1: Publishers do this.
SPEAKER_1: You absolutely can do that.
SPEAKER_1: This is the thing that publishers do.
SPEAKER_2: So do you like get to put your name on it after?
SPEAKER_1: I mean, it depends on the specific arrangement.
SPEAKER_1: This is not funny, but like it does depend on...
SPEAKER_2: No, I'm genuinely curious and also kind of horrified.
SPEAKER_1: It depends on the specific arrangement.
SPEAKER_1: There are some very famous authors out there.
SPEAKER_1: I can't remember the names right now, but there are ones who some of their books have more than one name on it because what they do, the original author will come up with the idea, come up with a basic outline, and then will send it off to someone else to actually write the book.
SPEAKER_1: And then it will come back to them, and then they will look at it and approve it or whatever.
SPEAKER_1: For all intents and purposes, the other person has done most of the work.
SPEAKER_2: So whose name is first?
SPEAKER_1: It's the original author.
SPEAKER_1: But both people get paid, and the other person gets their name, they get some exposure and payment.
SPEAKER_1: So it's not the worst way to do things.
SPEAKER_2: Do it for the exposure.
SPEAKER_1: Oh God, and also the pay.
SPEAKER_1: Never write anything for anyone that isn't for pay or for friends.
SPEAKER_1: That's my advice.
SPEAKER_1: But genuinely, there are ways to do that.
SPEAKER_1: But what if we didn't need to pay people in terms of what if we made an AI that can write books for us?
SPEAKER_2: We have that?
SPEAKER_1: Yeah, but like good books.
SPEAKER_1: We do have to make a very creative AI.
SPEAKER_1: You and I have discussed before the idea that like AI and robots, whether or not they can make good art.
SPEAKER_2: Mm-hmm.
SPEAKER_2: And it really comes down to what is good art.
SPEAKER_1: What is good art, yeah.
SPEAKER_2: What about it is good?
SPEAKER_2: Why is it good?
SPEAKER_2: It's a, let's not spend 30 minutes talking philosophy.
SPEAKER_2: But yeah, we've definitely talked about this.
SPEAKER_1: We've talked about this.
SPEAKER_1: And like, I'm still very much of the opinion that like it would take an AI to be like essentially a person before it could make like really good, meaningful art.
SPEAKER_1: So we need to make.
SPEAKER_2: I was just to share my opinion.
SPEAKER_2: I was of the opinion we already have AI that makes subjectively good art.
SPEAKER_1: My feeling on it is if I just, if we just develop AI that is advanced enough to just be people, hang on.
SPEAKER_1: I realized the issue with my plan, which is then I think you have to pay them.
SPEAKER_2: Oh yeah.
SPEAKER_1: If they're advanced enough to be people, then they probably need some sort of restitution for doing work.
SPEAKER_1: This is labor laws of robotics.
SPEAKER_1: The labor laws of robotics when it comes to writing.
SPEAKER_1: So maybe that won't work.
SPEAKER_2: But maybe we can have an AI that isn't human level, that can write for us.
SPEAKER_2: I believe that is within the realm of realism.
SPEAKER_1: The other opportunity is like, it's a lot easier, I think, to say things out loud than it is to write them down.
SPEAKER_1: Which is why we have a podcast.
SPEAKER_1: And so there is always the potential of having a transcribing AI that transcribes the things that you say.
SPEAKER_2: Which happens in every single one of our phones now.
SPEAKER_1: It's true.
SPEAKER_1: And also there is a precedent for authors who have had other people transcribe the things that they say.
SPEAKER_1: This is a fairly common writing tactic.
SPEAKER_1: It's usually men who have women close to them transcribe their work.
SPEAKER_1: I did a thesis on this.
SPEAKER_1: I'm familiar with it.
SPEAKER_2: I thought you were just going to be like, I'm very smart.
SPEAKER_2: I'm incredibly intelligent.
SPEAKER_1: I'm incredibly intelligent.
SPEAKER_1: So there's that opportunity.
SPEAKER_1: It's much easier for me to say the whole of the story and just have someone write it down.
SPEAKER_1: Now there is the potential that there will be transcription issues, but I assume that there will be an editing track.
SPEAKER_1: Maybe this is the true collaborative storytelling.
SPEAKER_1: One person says the words, a transcription AI writes it down.
SPEAKER_1: Another person goes through and edits it.
SPEAKER_1: You know, it's a whole group of people.
SPEAKER_2: What if we had an AI to edit the AI?
SPEAKER_1: An AI to...
SPEAKER_1: Okay, well then why wouldn't we just integrate that with the first AI?
SPEAKER_2: Because it depends on what your definition of an isolated unit of an AI is.
SPEAKER_2: Because if it's a different program, then technically it's a different AI until we find a way to combine them?
SPEAKER_2: You don't have any knowledge to counter that point, so we're just going to keep going.
SPEAKER_1: I think you're right, that sounds right.
SPEAKER_1: Point is, how can this just be the least possible work for myself?
SPEAKER_1: Because now I'm no longer in school, I don't have the excuse to just like, oh, I don't have time to write.
SPEAKER_1: I now have to actually do it, and that's really terrifying, because then I actually put in the effort.
SPEAKER_1: And I would really just rather I don't have to do that.
SPEAKER_1: And I could just, the ideas could pop fully formed out of my head, onto a page, fully written and beautiful.
SPEAKER_1: You know those like sci-fi machines, like go over people's heads, and like are supposed to like inject knowledge into their brain?
SPEAKER_1: What if it was extracting it?
SPEAKER_1: And was just sort of like forming it, yeah, sort of into like a tube that connects to a computer, and then it writes it out from there.
SPEAKER_1: That seems within the realm of possibility, right?
SPEAKER_2: What if you accidentally start thinking about dogs though?
SPEAKER_1: Then there's just a second in the book where you're like, listen.
SPEAKER_1: I think something that would be actually very interesting is like, I'm having a really hard time being funny with this one, but I'm so interested now in the idea that like, you could create a new paradigm of just like, if everyone does this, then writing becomes about who can stay on track the most, or who can like, who has the most interesting, like thought process and like tangents and stuff, which means that writing has just become podcasting.
SPEAKER_2: You just need to make a podcast about your story and then you need someone to transcribe it and you have your book.
SPEAKER_1: Yeah, but the transcribing is a lot of effort because it turns out the transcription takes a lot of work.
SPEAKER_2: Yeah.
SPEAKER_1: Yeah, that's a pretty good idea though.
SPEAKER_1: Wait, why would I even transcribe it?
SPEAKER_1: I'll just make it a podcast.
SPEAKER_2: For accessibility?
SPEAKER_1: Oh yeah, of course.
SPEAKER_1: Yeah, I have to transcribe it.
SPEAKER_1: Well, except when my book is super duper popular, well, my podcast book.
SPEAKER_1: When my podcast book is super duper popular, I can just pay to have people transcribe it so that I don't have to do it.
SPEAKER_2: Isn't that just the same thing as if you paid someone to transcribe to a book?
SPEAKER_1: Yeah, but it's more complicated than necessary.
SPEAKER_2: Therefore better.
SPEAKER_1: Therefore better.
SPEAKER_1: Welcome to English.
SPEAKER_1: This is some good solutions.
SPEAKER_1: I'm going to get going on all those.
SPEAKER_2: Yeah, make a really good podcast book.
SPEAKER_1: I'm going to make a really good podcast book.
SPEAKER_2: Oh, I got it.
SPEAKER_2: Make a podcast and then write a book based on the podcast, but not transcribed from it.
SPEAKER_1: The Salt Cravings book.
SPEAKER_1: Wait, that's a thing that people are doing.
SPEAKER_2: Yeah, like Sawbones.
SPEAKER_1: Like Sawbones or the graphic novel, The Adventure Zone.
SPEAKER_1: If y'all want to see a Salt Cravings book, please give us money and then we'll do it.
SPEAKER_1: And then we'll do it.
SPEAKER_2: What would the...
SPEAKER_1: Wait, okay, I need to like...
SPEAKER_1: Can we just tangent real quick?
SPEAKER_1: What's the Salt Cravings book?
SPEAKER_2: So do you remember the Ripley's Believe It or Not books where every page was just like a believe it or not thing?
SPEAKER_1: I read the bathroom reader books, but same thing.
SPEAKER_2: Great.
SPEAKER_2: So I think it is just each page is a different craving and like the solutions to those cravings.
SPEAKER_2: And there is like a button.
SPEAKER_2: Sometimes there's just a button and you press it.
SPEAKER_2: And it's like a hallmark card where you open it up and it is just our voices like...
SPEAKER_1: Oh, it's an audio book built in.
SPEAKER_1: That's very good.
SPEAKER_1: It would have to be like graphic design, like graphic.
SPEAKER_2: Graphic design is my passion.
SPEAKER_1: Graphic design is my passion.
SPEAKER_2: You have the carpeted bathtub and like the handy helper and all those beautiful things given full illustrated color.
SPEAKER_1: We have some good classics to throw in there.
SPEAKER_1: Oh, we can have classic cravings.
SPEAKER_1: Classic cravings should just be a thing on this show.
SPEAKER_1: We should just be stuff like that.
SPEAKER_1: We got some bits to work out.
SPEAKER_1: Great.
SPEAKER_1: What we also have to work out is what your final craving is.
SPEAKER_2: So my final craving is having more teeth.
SPEAKER_1: Hey, hey, Clair, what the fuck?
SPEAKER_1: So I'm going to need you to explain, and I also need you to know that you're on thin fucking ice.
SPEAKER_2: So this is not entirely my idea.
SPEAKER_2: It is a...
SPEAKER_2: Plagiarism.
SPEAKER_2: Yes, it's plagiarism.
SPEAKER_1: You're gonna flunk out of academia.
SPEAKER_2: I'm just gonna flunk out of Salt Cravings academia.
SPEAKER_2: Salt Cravings dot course.
SPEAKER_2: So I was talking with a friend of mine.
SPEAKER_2: I don't know if they want their name said, so sorry.
SPEAKER_2: Yeah, so I was talking to Jezsusual, and we were just talking about what if your esophagus had teeth so you didn't have to chew?
SPEAKER_2: And then I said, what if your lungs had teeth so that if you accidentally inhaled your food, it's fine.
SPEAKER_2: You're not going to choke.
SPEAKER_2: You got those chompers in your lungs.
SPEAKER_2: You got those chompers in your esophagus.
SPEAKER_2: You're fine.
SPEAKER_2: You're not going to choke.
SPEAKER_1: Right.
SPEAKER_1: Okay, I'm going to make this weirder.
SPEAKER_2: I have no idea how, but please.
SPEAKER_1: Well, last night, I was talking with some friends about if you, if you, there were just extra pairs of like testicles on your body.
SPEAKER_1: And we suggested the...
SPEAKER_2: What if they were in your lungs?
SPEAKER_1: Yeah, well, no, I suggested the armpit testicles.
SPEAKER_1: So what if instead of that, the armpit teeth?
SPEAKER_2: Yeah, I want to talk about that.
SPEAKER_2: But first I want to talk about the armpit testicles.
SPEAKER_1: Well, we were kind of discussing like how bad that would be.
SPEAKER_2: What is the purpose?
SPEAKER_1: More sweaty.
SPEAKER_1: If they had to be anywhere.
SPEAKER_1: I'm done with that.
SPEAKER_1: Let's move on to the armpit teeth.
SPEAKER_1: Yeah, so the armpit teeth are great.
SPEAKER_2: So is it just sort of like if the food is too dense, you pre-chew it and it's just sort of like you...
SPEAKER_1: With just your arm going up and down.
SPEAKER_2: So accordion players got it real good.
SPEAKER_1: They got all those ruffles.
SPEAKER_1: This is for accordion players primarily.
SPEAKER_1: They're the most important people here.
SPEAKER_1: They're the most important people in general.
SPEAKER_1: Shout out to accordion...
SPEAKER_1: Hey, you play the accordion?
SPEAKER_2: You're the best person.
SPEAKER_1: You're the best type of person.
SPEAKER_1: I mean, like, there's really no where on your body that isn't improved with more teeth.
SPEAKER_2: Fingertips.
SPEAKER_2: Well, you know what?
SPEAKER_2: Yeah, you're right.
SPEAKER_2: Because you can play with your food now, but it is just chomping them up as if you're pinching them.
SPEAKER_2: So you pinch the food off, but you chomp off a corner of your food with your fingers.
SPEAKER_1: What if instead of nails, you just had teeth?
SPEAKER_1: All of this makes dentistry so much worse, and dentistry is already bad.
SPEAKER_1: Can you remind me where an esophagus is?
SPEAKER_2: Esophagus connects your mouth to your stomach.
SPEAKER_1: Is it the tube?
SPEAKER_2: Yeah, it's the tube.
SPEAKER_1: Great.
SPEAKER_2: And so when you swallow, I don't know how much biology you took, but it does sort of like...
SPEAKER_1: I took as little biology as I possibly could.
SPEAKER_2: Cool, cool.
SPEAKER_2: So when you swallow something...
SPEAKER_1: So it's to avoid this specifically.
SPEAKER_2: It does, I guess, I don't know how to describe it other than undulate in and out a pulse.
SPEAKER_2: It literally pushes your food down.
SPEAKER_1: Cool.
SPEAKER_2: If it's too big.
SPEAKER_2: It does it either way.
SPEAKER_2: That's how your muscles work.
SPEAKER_2: But what if the teeth were there?
SPEAKER_2: So just sort of chomp it down as it goes down your throat.
SPEAKER_1: The issue is you need a very big hole to get unchewed food down there.
SPEAKER_2: If you just had more teeth near the back of your throat, you could just close your mouth and it's already sort of pre-chewed.
SPEAKER_2: And then if you lose a tooth or two because it's really hard to brush, it's okay.
SPEAKER_2: You got like way more.
SPEAKER_1: Yeah, they can just do teeth transplant or whatever really.
SPEAKER_1: Yeah, you don't need fake teeth.
SPEAKER_1: You just get a real tooth from somewhere else.
SPEAKER_2: Think about how much money you get from the tooth fairy.
SPEAKER_1: It's true.
SPEAKER_1: God, you could like double, triple the amount.
SPEAKER_1: Also, like you're right, it would be good to not have to chew, right?
SPEAKER_1: Because chewing is like, you know, so difficult.
SPEAKER_1: It's maybe the most difficult thing in the whole world, and it takes so, so much effort.
SPEAKER_1: And I'm so glad that we're creating a solution for this huge problem that all of us consider a problem and is not just a basic thing that we do that isn't really a big deal.
SPEAKER_1: So it's good that we're adding teeth to our bodies in order to avoid the horrific and incredibly intensive act of chewing food.
SPEAKER_2: I'm glad you see it my way.
SPEAKER_1: Why did you mention...
SPEAKER_1: What were the teeth in the lungs supposed to serve?
SPEAKER_2: Well, if you...
SPEAKER_2: You know when you like accidentally swallow or inhale the wrong way?
SPEAKER_1: Yes.
SPEAKER_2: It's the worst.
SPEAKER_1: Yes.
SPEAKER_2: But what if you could chew it down so it was okay again?
SPEAKER_2: And your lungs do just...
SPEAKER_2: You breathe out and it's like...
SPEAKER_2: Oh, it's crunched down once.
SPEAKER_2: And you breathe back in.
SPEAKER_2: Oh, it's crunched down twice.
SPEAKER_1: I need you to know that as someone with asthma, this...
SPEAKER_1: I can't tell if this is better or worse because from my understanding, this may not be biologically accurate.
SPEAKER_1: Asthma tends to mean that there are just little holes in your lungs.
SPEAKER_1: Again, that may not be accurate, but let's pretend it is.
SPEAKER_2: There are holes in your lungs, 100%.
SPEAKER_1: Wait, what's the actual answer for how asthma works?
SPEAKER_2: I mean, I don't know how asthma works, but how you get oxygen is there's little phalangy things in your lungs that are oxygen receptors, and so I presume it's something to do with either you have a few amount of them or it's harder for them to do their thing or something about it, like some modification to do it.
SPEAKER_1: But it could be the holes.
SPEAKER_2: But what if instead of phalangies, you had...
SPEAKER_2: That's probably not the word, but I like it, so I'm saying it.
SPEAKER_2: What if you had holes?
SPEAKER_2: What if you just had Swiss cheese lungs and you had like when you breathe in, it just distributes the oxygen to the inside of your body?
SPEAKER_1: Yeah, that's pretty good.
SPEAKER_1: I think the other thing with that that I was more meaning was like when you chew down that food and you just go up holes.
SPEAKER_2: Oh, okay.
SPEAKER_1: Because like otherwise it's just gonna stay down there and you're just gonna have like food at the bottom of your lungs.
SPEAKER_2: Right.
SPEAKER_1: Because that's how it works right now.
SPEAKER_1: If you get any food down there, it just stays there forever.
SPEAKER_1: Forever, yeah.
SPEAKER_2: So where does it go in the holes?
SPEAKER_1: It goes out.
SPEAKER_1: What's near the lungs?
SPEAKER_2: The heart and the stomach and...
SPEAKER_1: Maybe it goes in the stomach.
SPEAKER_1: That'd be good.
SPEAKER_2: Wait, are there holes that go into the stomach?
SPEAKER_1: Could be.
SPEAKER_2: Wait, are our lungs connected to our stomach now?
SPEAKER_1: It could be.
SPEAKER_2: Wait, are we just connecting lungs to our stomach so it's like a cycle?
SPEAKER_1: Sure.
SPEAKER_2: Okay.
SPEAKER_1: Why not?
SPEAKER_2: Cool.
SPEAKER_1: Fuck it.
SPEAKER_1: We can do whatever we want.
SPEAKER_1: We're putting teeth in our lungs, Clair.
SPEAKER_1: This is the least weird part of what we've said so far.
SPEAKER_1: We talked about teeth and ball armpits.
SPEAKER_1: Like, I don't know what to tell you, Clair.
SPEAKER_1: Yes, of course we're connecting the lung to the stomach.
SPEAKER_1: I don't see the issue.
SPEAKER_2: I just think we shouldn't have a cyclic respiratory and digestive system.
SPEAKER_2: I think they should be acyclic.
SPEAKER_1: I mean, like, but like, what if they were cyclic though?
SPEAKER_2: Consider, when you vomit, it does go into your lungs.
SPEAKER_1: You know, that's a sacrifice you have to...
SPEAKER_1: Just, hey, don't vomit.
SPEAKER_2: Great.
SPEAKER_1: Just don't, just don't.
SPEAKER_2: Thank you for solving...
SPEAKER_2: That's great.
SPEAKER_2: That's a good answer.
SPEAKER_1: Good.
SPEAKER_1: What if you just, like, double...
SPEAKER_1: What if you just...
SPEAKER_1: What if you just double the amount of teeth that you have in the front of your mouth?
SPEAKER_1: Like, just split up the sides.
SPEAKER_2: Like, they're like really thin and pointy.
SPEAKER_1: They're really thin and pointy.
SPEAKER_1: Like, you just have, instead of, like, however many teeth you have in the front of...
SPEAKER_1: You just double that because all the teeth are half as big.
SPEAKER_2: So it's like more effort to clean them, but zero extra, like, bonuses.
SPEAKER_1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_1: Really, this is a...
SPEAKER_2: I don't under...
SPEAKER_2: Because at least with my craving, it's, like, less work.
SPEAKER_2: With this, it's, like, it's literally more work.
SPEAKER_1: Yeah, but here's the reason I bring it up.
SPEAKER_1: How lucky is it that we don't have that?
SPEAKER_1: We should really be thankful for the teeth that we do have.
SPEAKER_2: But what if we just had one big tooth on both the top and the bottom, and it was just circular, half a circle?
SPEAKER_1: Yeah, I mean, yeah, that works.
SPEAKER_1: You know, that would be better, but like, but then try, imagine getting a tooth out.
SPEAKER_1: Imagine getting like your tooth, like having to get a tooth removed.
SPEAKER_2: Sharks lose their whole teeth at once.
SPEAKER_1: Do you want to be like that?
SPEAKER_1: Yeah, I love sharks.
SPEAKER_2: Sharks are great.
SPEAKER_1: I mean, I love sharks too.
SPEAKER_1: Who doesn't love sharks?
SPEAKER_1: They're great.
SPEAKER_1: But I don't necessarily want to be a shark.
SPEAKER_2: Wow, I can't believe SharkBoy didn't inspire you.
SPEAKER_1: No, Lava Girl inspired me.
SPEAKER_1: What are you talking about?
SPEAKER_2: But you could be Shark Girl.
SPEAKER_1: I could be, but, like, Lava.
SPEAKER_2: That's fair.
SPEAKER_2: You could be Lava Shark.
SPEAKER_1: Lava Shark, there we go.
SPEAKER_1: Do you think that was their ship name?
SPEAKER_1: They were siblings.
SPEAKER_1: I'm pretty sure.
SPEAKER_1: Were they?
SPEAKER_1: They may have been, and in that case, please just, I didn't say that.
SPEAKER_1: I did not say that.
SPEAKER_1: Because I forgot.
SPEAKER_2: I don't remember, because it's the same people as spy kids in terms of directors.
SPEAKER_1: It has the same vibes.
SPEAKER_1: It has the same feel as spy kids.
SPEAKER_1: But that doesn't necessarily mean that they are absolute siblings, but they also could be siblings.
SPEAKER_2: Yeah, but you ship them.
SPEAKER_1: No, no, I didn't.
SPEAKER_1: I was just wondering if that would have been it.
SPEAKER_1: If there wasn't, but there probably wasn't because they were probably siblings.
SPEAKER_2: It's probably a better ship name.
SPEAKER_2: What if it was just BoyGirl?
SPEAKER_1: My gender is SharkLava, BoyGirl.
SPEAKER_2: Great.
SPEAKER_1: The new combo is two superheroes.
SPEAKER_1: One is SharkLava, the other is BoyGirl.
SPEAKER_1: SharkLava and BoyGirl.
SPEAKER_2: God, those are good heroes.
SPEAKER_1: They'll be very, very good.
SPEAKER_1: It's been so nice to meet you.
SPEAKER_2: What was your name again?
SPEAKER_1: It's Brianna.
SPEAKER_2: Weewoona.
SPEAKER_1: Yay, nailed it.
SPEAKER_1: Nailed it, got it first time.
SPEAKER_1: Yours is Clair with an E, yes?
SPEAKER_1: Yeah, an E right at the end, awesome.
SPEAKER_1: Clair.
SPEAKER_1: I think this has been a really good...
SPEAKER_1: Do you think we're going to do more episodes of this?
SPEAKER_1: I don't know.
SPEAKER_2: I don't think so, but I feel like if there were, there'd probably be record of it on some social medias, probably like something called Salt Cravings, at Salt Cravings on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
SPEAKER_1: Yeah, and like if people wanted to hear us talk about their cravings, if we were to do this again, they should probably submit those to submissions at saltcravings.com and we would probably be very, very thankful to them for submitting those cravings because it would be a lot of fun to do that sort of thing.
SPEAKER_2: That'd be a really good email.
SPEAKER_2: It'd be really smart if someone set that up.
SPEAKER_2: That person would be really smart.
SPEAKER_1: Yeah, to have submissions at saltcravings.com.
SPEAKER_1: Also, it would be very important for people to leave ratings and reviews on iTunes and Google Play.
SPEAKER_2: I mean, if we were to make this a regular thing, it would be the only way that we'd be able to keep going.
SPEAKER_1: Yeah, and it would be really, really helpful for just getting the word out and if people told their friends, that would also be super duper cool and helpful.
SPEAKER_2: I mean, it takes a lot for two strangers who barely know each other to be funny together.
SPEAKER_1: It's really difficult to be funny as two strangers who, again, just met today.
SPEAKER_1: It would be really a challenge, but, you know, if some of those things were to happen, then I think it would be possible.
SPEAKER_2: Well, it's good to meet you on the street quarter.
SPEAKER_2: I'm gonna go finish my grocery shopping now.
SPEAKER_1: Yeah, I gotta go to the mall.
SPEAKER_1: I work there, so...
SPEAKER_1: Oh, okay.
SPEAKER_2: Where do you work at the mall?
SPEAKER_1: Not everywhere.
SPEAKER_1: I work at all the shops in the mall.
SPEAKER_1: Yeah, actually, I'm late now, about an hour late now after this show.
SPEAKER_1: But that's okay.
SPEAKER_1: They're very understanding.
SPEAKER_2: I just needed to go pick up more teeth.
SPEAKER_2: Okay, bye.
