SPEAKER_2: Hello, and welcome to Salt Cravings.
SPEAKER_2: My name's Clair.
SPEAKER_1: And my name's Brianna.
SPEAKER_2: And this is an intro.
SPEAKER_2: I'm doing an intro.
SPEAKER_2: This is a bit, it's funny.
SPEAKER_2: Laugh, please.
SPEAKER_1: What if, okay, Clair, I have a brilliant idea.
SPEAKER_1: I have a brilliant idea.
SPEAKER_1: We can have a laugh track in the show.
SPEAKER_1: And the laugh track is just the other person who isn't speaking right now.
SPEAKER_1: I will say something funny.
SPEAKER_2: Ha ha.
SPEAKER_1: Yeah, yeah, exactly.
SPEAKER_1: It's giving the idea that it's performed in front of a live studio audience.
SPEAKER_1: But the audience is just the other person.
SPEAKER_1: Isn't that what the podcast is?
SPEAKER_1: Ha ha.
SPEAKER_2: It seems to be going very well.
SPEAKER_1: I'd say so, yeah.
SPEAKER_1: And maybe we can have some of the other audience noises in there too, like, you know, like, ooh, you know.
SPEAKER_2: What would happen to make that audience noise happen?
SPEAKER_1: In TV shows, it's like a romantic thing that happens.
SPEAKER_1: And then that noise goes, and everyone goes, ooh.
SPEAKER_2: So Mae's getting married.
SPEAKER_1: That sounds a little bit like a ghost.
SPEAKER_2: She is marrying a ghost.
SPEAKER_2: My cat is marrying a ghost.
SPEAKER_1: Is it a ghost cat or a ghost?
SPEAKER_2: It's a dog.
SPEAKER_2: That's why it's very-
SPEAKER_1: Wow.
SPEAKER_2: Yeah, it's a big turnout.
SPEAKER_1: Honestly, like-
SPEAKER_2: It's a rough wedding.
SPEAKER_1: I, fuck this show.
SPEAKER_1: Great intro, Clair.
SPEAKER_2: Do you want to give me a craving after this intro, which is now done so now?
SPEAKER_1: No, I almost want to make you come up with more intro, but it's also fun for me to talk about my craving, which is restoration.
SPEAKER_1: Okay, well, just general-
SPEAKER_2: Like cleric healing, like when you're the healer in an RPG, and you restore your-
SPEAKER_1: But it's more like the spell mending, is more what I mean.
SPEAKER_1: One channel on YouTube I watch, called Baumgartner Restoration, and their whole thing is restoring paintings, like old paintings.
SPEAKER_1: So filling in like any cracks, and like cleaning it, and stuff like that.
SPEAKER_1: There was like a viral video of the same sort of process going around of someone with a cotton swab on an old painting and just sort of wiping off some of the grime and revealing what it once looked like.
SPEAKER_1: And it's super duper cool, and painting restoration is incredibly cool.
SPEAKER_1: There's other things, restoring tools, restoring like books, restoring whatever else.
SPEAKER_1: It's really cool to me to see something kind of old and messy and broken up a little bit become something new and like whole.
SPEAKER_1: And yeah, so I'm really craving restoring something old to a better, into better condition.
SPEAKER_2: Okay, cool.
SPEAKER_2: It is also very therapeutic to watch.
SPEAKER_2: Like I watched someone throw an old toolbox into like a vat of vinegar and water or something.
SPEAKER_2: And it was like they posted progress photos and it looked disgusting.
SPEAKER_2: The water was absolutely nasty and they said that it smelled bad too, but then it looked so good after.
SPEAKER_2: So what are we restoring?
SPEAKER_1: I mean, yeah, that's the question, right?
SPEAKER_2: How do we solve this craving?
SPEAKER_2: What is it that we are bringing back and making beautylicious?
SPEAKER_1: Beautylicious definition, make that restoration loco.
SPEAKER_2: Dinosaur bones?
SPEAKER_2: Can you just restore dinosaur bones into a dinosaur?
SPEAKER_2: What would it take?
SPEAKER_2: Like, would you need to like glue some flesh onto the bones?
SPEAKER_2: Would you need to sand the bone down in order to give it some angles?
SPEAKER_1: Well, like here's the real question.
SPEAKER_1: Are you trying to make it a living dinosaur?
SPEAKER_2: What else does restoration mean, right?
SPEAKER_2: If you make your painting living, haven't you've completely restored it to like its essence?
SPEAKER_1: No, I think in general-
SPEAKER_2: If the painting can talk, isn't that better?
SPEAKER_2: What if the trees in the painting could talk, Brianna?
SPEAKER_1: I speak for the trees in the painting.
SPEAKER_1: No, I think the trees are seeking for themselves in the painting in that case.
SPEAKER_1: They don't need the Lorax.
SPEAKER_1: I think the idea of restoring dinosaur bones into a living dinosaur is absolutely one I want to explore.
SPEAKER_1: And I think it's one we absolutely should explore.
SPEAKER_1: I think we can also think about fossils generally.
SPEAKER_2: Yeah, I mean-
SPEAKER_1: Think about, so you know, they have to dig them out, dust them off.
SPEAKER_2: Like the thing that on the night the Pokemon is based off of, that little curly shell boy.
SPEAKER_1: Yeah, exactly.
SPEAKER_1: All the fossil Pokemon in Pokemon.
SPEAKER_1: And in general, yeah, I think so-
SPEAKER_2: Plants, oh my God, we can, not only can we restore plants and paintings, we can restore plant bones.
SPEAKER_1: Well, I was thinking more of like, you know, when you have a fossilized plant, but I don't know, does plant have bone?
SPEAKER_2: Well, you couldn't have fossilized plant.
SPEAKER_1: You can.
SPEAKER_2: And you know what?
SPEAKER_2: I consider that bone, but also consider this.
SPEAKER_2: So you know how bugs get stuck in amber?
SPEAKER_2: Now, if you were to restore that, is it getting the bug out, or is it making the amber go away so you get the bug?
SPEAKER_1: I mean, I feel like it has to be whichever option is most effective.
SPEAKER_2: Okay, why effectiveness?
SPEAKER_2: Why is this the-
SPEAKER_1: Because in general, the goal of restoration from what I've seen is to, the thing that you're trying to restore, which in this case, I guess would be the bug, to restore the bug to its original condition as closely as possible.
SPEAKER_2: So you wanna get rid of the amber instead of the bug?
SPEAKER_1: Well, I think if the goal is to restore the bug, then absolutely.
SPEAKER_2: But which one is it?
SPEAKER_2: How do we decide this, Brianna?
SPEAKER_2: Is it just the effect of us?
SPEAKER_2: What are the criteria of restoration?
SPEAKER_2: How would we decide if we're restoring this bug or the amber?
SPEAKER_1: Um, the first thing is, which part is more valuable, an old-ass bug or an old-ass amber?
SPEAKER_2: Hmm.
SPEAKER_2: I think it depends on the bug.
SPEAKER_1: Yeah, maybe it depends on how scary the bug looks.
SPEAKER_1: Ooh, okay, more scary better or?
SPEAKER_1: More scary, worse.
SPEAKER_1: Cause more scary means I don't want to bring it back into the world because what if it bites me and gives me ancient malaria?
SPEAKER_2: Ancient malaria, that's very bad.
SPEAKER_1: Ancient malaria from the realm of the dinosaurs.
SPEAKER_2: What if it has really big pincers and looks real cool?
SPEAKER_2: And then it can be like your friend and then you can tame it and like you can make it bite your enemies.
SPEAKER_2: So we got to restore this cool bug with these giant pincers.
SPEAKER_2: How do we do it?
SPEAKER_1: So here's the first thing that we have to do.
SPEAKER_1: We have to figure out how to get the bug out of the amber.
SPEAKER_2: Carefully, of course.
SPEAKER_2: Do we melt it?
SPEAKER_2: Do we crack it?
SPEAKER_2: What are our tools?
SPEAKER_1: Okay, so you said carefully and then went melt, crack.
SPEAKER_1: Yeah.
SPEAKER_1: Probably the best thing to do.
SPEAKER_1: You know those apple cores?
SPEAKER_2: Like the core of an apple or an apple core-er?
SPEAKER_1: An apple corer, a corer, I've heard it referred to as an apple corer.
SPEAKER_2: Yeah, okay.
SPEAKER_1: Yeah, an apple corer, that has a little-
SPEAKER_2: That's the noise it makes when it starts up.
SPEAKER_1: Corer, it's an electronic one, and it just sort of drills a hole in the side, and then you have a little cylinder with a bug in it.
SPEAKER_1: A little amber cylinder with a bug in it.
SPEAKER_1: So you've dealt with the excess.
SPEAKER_1: Now, this is where it gets difficult, Clair.
SPEAKER_2: We have less amber, but we still have amber.
SPEAKER_1: We still have amber.
SPEAKER_1: How do we get rid of the rest of this amber without damage?
SPEAKER_1: You're not changing the bug literally at all.
SPEAKER_2: Sonar?
SPEAKER_1: How does that help?
SPEAKER_2: So amber is translucent, which means waves can go through it easier than waves can go through a bug.
SPEAKER_2: So what if we made like a sonar device that destroys things it goes through, right?
SPEAKER_2: And it destroys it to the amount that it goes through it.
SPEAKER_2: So it's like a grenade, but in waves.
SPEAKER_2: It's a wave grenade.
SPEAKER_2: And then we like just, the amber just falls apart into sand.
SPEAKER_2: It unambers it.
SPEAKER_1: Sorry, this is like a fucking, what you're describing to me is a sonar device that like transmogrifies something.
SPEAKER_1: Like what you're describing here is transfiguration.
SPEAKER_2: But it's waves.
SPEAKER_1: So it's science.
SPEAKER_2: It's transfiguriance.
SPEAKER_1: That's a pretty good step.
SPEAKER_1: So we have the remains of the bug now.
SPEAKER_1: We have them on the table here.
SPEAKER_1: They're here on the table.
SPEAKER_1: And now we have to reanimate it.
SPEAKER_1: Now, if Frankenstein has taught me anything.
SPEAKER_2: Lightning?
SPEAKER_1: Well, lightning's part of it, but you have to be, you have to figure out the secret to life and death.
SPEAKER_1: The secret to how to, yeah, just the secret to life.
SPEAKER_1: And then-
SPEAKER_2: I'm expecting a challenge.
SPEAKER_1: Electricity will help with that.
SPEAKER_1: But the exact method Frankenstein refuses to say in Mary Shelley's Frankenstein.
SPEAKER_1: So it's impossible for us to know how he did it in real life, in reality.
SPEAKER_1: What I think we need to figure out is just what that secret is.
SPEAKER_2: Okay.
SPEAKER_2: Well, the thing is the secret is already out there, but how are we gonna get this secret, right?
SPEAKER_2: Are we gonna go grave robbing?
SPEAKER_2: Did Mary Shelley take it to her grave?
SPEAKER_1: Did she?
SPEAKER_1: She might've.
SPEAKER_1: I mean, she took a lot of shit to her grave.
SPEAKER_2: Oh hell, we just have to wake Mary Shelley up and then she'll tell us.
SPEAKER_1: Well, oh, Clair, I have a slight concern with your plan.
SPEAKER_1: In order to wake Mary Shelley up, we need to know the secret of life and death in order to arrive someone.
SPEAKER_1: Listen, I want to restore Mary Shelley as more than the next girl, but like.
SPEAKER_2: Does Mary Shelley have descendants?
SPEAKER_1: Probably.
SPEAKER_1: No.
SPEAKER_2: Oh.
SPEAKER_1: Let me do a cheeky little Google.
SPEAKER_1: It's very important that all of our cravings.
SPEAKER_2: Are factual.
SPEAKER_1: Are factual in nature.
SPEAKER_1: Let me just.
SPEAKER_2: So I think like if Mary Shelley discovered it, which she did, of course, and she planted it in Frankenstein in probably a coded language that only her descendants could know, all we have to do is track them down, figure out the code, break the code, use the secret of life and wake up our bug friend.
SPEAKER_2: And then we have a bug friend who can attack our enemies.
SPEAKER_1: Yep.
SPEAKER_1: Okay.
SPEAKER_1: So she had one, okay.
SPEAKER_1: I don't know how far down the line goes because it was Mary Shelley.
SPEAKER_1: And then she had one child who lived past infancy and he had one child.
SPEAKER_1: I don't know if that child had any other children, but we need to find the descendant of Bessie Florence Gibson.
SPEAKER_2: Bessie Florence Gibson, if you're out there, we will find you.
SPEAKER_1: Well, she's probably dead because she was-
SPEAKER_1: Okay, well, sure.
SPEAKER_1: Let me take it back.
SPEAKER_1: So what you were saying was that there's definitely an encoded message that she would have given to her children.
SPEAKER_2: Absolutely.
SPEAKER_2: What else would there be?
SPEAKER_2: It is Frankenstein.
SPEAKER_2: Like, you know, there's a coded message in Frankenstein.
SPEAKER_2: You have to read the certain letters on the page, and it spells it out bright as day.
SPEAKER_2: It's just like national treasure, but instead of a map, it's literary text, which I think is the same thing.
SPEAKER_1: I mean, I've analyzed Frankenstein pretty heavily, and I think that there's a lot of messages in there.
SPEAKER_2: Like?
SPEAKER_1: We should be careful about the idea of masculine science, and also the, we should be, we should generally-
SPEAKER_2: Masculine science.
SPEAKER_2: That's how you wake a dead body up.
SPEAKER_1: It is.
SPEAKER_2: Yes.
SPEAKER_1: There's also messages about maternity and stuff.
SPEAKER_1: So I guess we need a boy who can do science.
SPEAKER_2: Well, let's get-
SPEAKER_2: I guess this is a dead end.
SPEAKER_1: Yeah.
SPEAKER_1: Unfortunately, I know no boys.
SPEAKER_2: Yeah, I guess this is it.
SPEAKER_2: That's the end of the craving.
SPEAKER_2: We really had a dead end there.
SPEAKER_2: I can't believe we can never solve this craving.
SPEAKER_1: We could hire a boy.
SPEAKER_1: All right, here's the plan.
SPEAKER_1: We hire a boy to use masculine science to figure out the secret of life and death.
SPEAKER_1: And then we can use that.
SPEAKER_2: We drill the masculine science into Mary Shelley's Frankenstein.
SPEAKER_2: Decode the message.
SPEAKER_1: Yeah, well, okay, there's already, that's the message that was in, Frank.
SPEAKER_1: Okay, sure, yeah, absolutely.
SPEAKER_1: This is how this works.
SPEAKER_2: We got the secret of life.
SPEAKER_1: Okay, we have the secret of life.
SPEAKER_1: We use it.
SPEAKER_2: Wake up our bug friend.
SPEAKER_1: Wake up our bug friend.
SPEAKER_2: And then attack the boy scientist with the bug friend, because we are the only ones who can learn the secret.
SPEAKER_1: Frankenstein 2.
SPEAKER_1: Restoration.
SPEAKER_1: Let's do your craving.
SPEAKER_2: Yeah, okay.
SPEAKER_2: My craving is PJ's...
SPEAKER_2: Yeah, that's true.
SPEAKER_1: Soft, soft craving.
SPEAKER_2: I have to leave.
SPEAKER_2: What's your next craving?
SPEAKER_2: What's your next craving Brianna?
SPEAKER_2: I'm done.
SPEAKER_1: My next craving is for you to tell me more about your pajama craving.
SPEAKER_2: So I thought it appropriate.
SPEAKER_2: I'm currently in pajamas.
SPEAKER_1: Hell yeah.
SPEAKER_2: It happens a lot though.
SPEAKER_2: Mostly if I don't have anything that's going to take me out of the house, or if I do, but I don't want to be wearing clothes until I have to leave the house, pajamas are the best thing ever.
SPEAKER_1: Pajamas are where it's at.
SPEAKER_2: Pajamas are the next best thing to not wearing clothes.
SPEAKER_1: I would wager that sometimes they're even better than not wearing clothes.
SPEAKER_2: To each their own apple and to each their own PJs, as I always say.
SPEAKER_1: As you always say, that's such a common saying that you say, Clair.
SPEAKER_1: You say it all the time.
SPEAKER_1: It makes so much sense too.
SPEAKER_2: So the reason that I really like wearing PJs is they loose, and the bigger the PJ, the bigger the shirt, the better.
SPEAKER_2: So how do we design the best PJs?
SPEAKER_2: I want the best PJs, Brianna.
SPEAKER_1: All right, so obviously we need a big sleep shirt.
SPEAKER_2: All right, how big?
SPEAKER_1: Oh, huge.
SPEAKER_2: Like ratio to body?
SPEAKER_2: Like how many big?
SPEAKER_1: You know, in movies, and I assume this also happens in reality, there's a couple, and one of them is wearing the other one's shirt as a sleep shirt.
SPEAKER_1: It's so that, but double.
SPEAKER_1: Double the size.
SPEAKER_2: Okay, all right.
SPEAKER_2: So it's just like a nightgown.
SPEAKER_1: It's a nightgown.
SPEAKER_1: It's a full on nightgown.
SPEAKER_2: But like with a logo or a cool pattern on it.
SPEAKER_1: It's gotta be, it's gotta have like, I have a nightgown on it that has a moose on it and it says all moose asleep, which is very cute.
SPEAKER_1: And I'm just saying like it could have a joke or funny pun on there, or we could brand it with Salt Cravings.
SPEAKER_2: Okay, so it is my Salt Cravings PJ shirt.
SPEAKER_1: It's Salt Cravings PJ shirt.
SPEAKER_1: It goes all the way down to my ankles.
SPEAKER_1: And also it's made out of the softest material possible.
SPEAKER_1: It's gotta be soft.
SPEAKER_2: Like silk or softer.
SPEAKER_2: Silk worms.
SPEAKER_1: No, no.
SPEAKER_2: Spider silk and spiders.
SPEAKER_1: Clair.
SPEAKER_2: Ground up spiders.
SPEAKER_1: Man, you're getting worse.
SPEAKER_1: Why are you so obsessed with wearing bugs?
SPEAKER_2: Because that's cool as hell.
SPEAKER_1: But is it soft?
SPEAKER_1: Is it comfy?
SPEAKER_1: It's gotta be comfy.
SPEAKER_2: Maybe it has to-
SPEAKER_1: Everything that matters here is that it's comfy.
SPEAKER_2: Maybe I want to be mentally comfy as well, and I want to know that I have a hard exoskeleton that if anyone tried to pierce, I would win.
SPEAKER_2: Now I'm mentally sound too, and I will win with my PJs.
SPEAKER_2: Who needs battle armor?
SPEAKER_2: I have battle PJs.
SPEAKER_1: Sure.
SPEAKER_2: I've become the sleeping bug.
SPEAKER_1: Would you say you've caught the bug for sleeping?
SPEAKER_2: Oh, hell yeah, and then me and my bug friend become paladins or something.
SPEAKER_1: What?
SPEAKER_1: Where did that come from?
SPEAKER_2: Because, well, now I have my bug armor and my bug friend.
SPEAKER_1: Which god are you worshiping?
SPEAKER_2: The bug god, duh.
SPEAKER_1: The bug god?
SPEAKER_2: Big Jaws.
SPEAKER_1: Big Jaws?
SPEAKER_1: Great, great, their name is Big Jaws.
SPEAKER_1: They're the bug god, and this is somehow still about pajamas.
SPEAKER_2: It is.
SPEAKER_1: Okay.
SPEAKER_2: Because you fight for comfort.
SPEAKER_1: Okay, I guess.
SPEAKER_1: What are you wearing now?
SPEAKER_1: Let's be gentle with this.
SPEAKER_2: That's a very forward question, Brianna.
SPEAKER_1: Let's be gentle with this.
SPEAKER_1: What are you wearing around your underground zone?
SPEAKER_1: You know what I'm saying?
SPEAKER_1: Your underwear space.
SPEAKER_2: Oh, okay.
SPEAKER_2: Not my underground battle fortress.
SPEAKER_1: Your crotch realm.
SPEAKER_2: Not my own, okay.
SPEAKER_2: Well.
SPEAKER_1: Well, your underground battle fortress, I assume, is where you're wearing PJs.
SPEAKER_2: Yeah.
SPEAKER_1: These battle PJs.
SPEAKER_2: I mean, hmm.
SPEAKER_2: Do I gotta?
SPEAKER_2: I mean-
SPEAKER_1: Anything?
SPEAKER_1: You don't have to.
SPEAKER_2: I mean, I have a whole battle armor that covers me head to toe.
SPEAKER_1: Okay, but like, let's say-
SPEAKER_1: You're walking around your battle fortress and you know how you have all those wind chambers in your battle fortress for purposes.
SPEAKER_2: I do gotta like jump up high, and the wind chambers help me jump higher.
SPEAKER_1: Yeah, but what if the wind chambers accidentally blow up your nightgown shirt, and then, oh, and that's just not good.
SPEAKER_2: Yeah, my bug friend would be-
SPEAKER_1: Probably a little bit embarrassed.
SPEAKER_2: Yeah, a little embarrassed.
SPEAKER_2: Like they'd get blown up too, but not in that way.
SPEAKER_2: Because they're invincible, I've decided.
SPEAKER_2: They have plot armor.
SPEAKER_1: Yeah, they have plot armor.
SPEAKER_1: It's the thing you do when you're a GM and you like a character, and you're like, nothing bad is gonna happen to this character.
SPEAKER_1: And if any of you let this character get hurt, I'll be so mad at you.
SPEAKER_2: Yeah, honestly, I'm gonna insert a little bias here.
SPEAKER_2: Boy shorts, best underwear ever.
SPEAKER_1: Boy shorts, sure.
SPEAKER_1: Yeah, I tend to, boxers are the one that I go for, and I would love an alternative to boxers.
SPEAKER_2: Boy shorts.
SPEAKER_1: Boy shorts sounds great.
SPEAKER_1: So what are these boy shorts made of?
SPEAKER_1: Do they have to also be fight ready?
SPEAKER_1: Are you planning?
SPEAKER_1: How much like-
SPEAKER_2: Well, if my battle armor gets blown up, like I'm exposed, right?
SPEAKER_2: Like what if I'm in the middle of a battle?
SPEAKER_2: I need to be ready.
SPEAKER_1: But here's the thing.
SPEAKER_1: What if I take an arrow to the crotch?
SPEAKER_1: Yes, but like, if your battle armor gets blown up, that's the only part that's protecting you at that point.
SPEAKER_2: Yeah, and if I need to stop an arrow-
SPEAKER_1: No, but it's only protecting your crotch.
SPEAKER_2: Yeah, and?
SPEAKER_1: There's so much other places that they could hit you.
SPEAKER_2: But I mean, my crotch is protected at least.
SPEAKER_2: Like say there's an arrow and someone's cast a wind spell and it blows my bug armor up and I need my bug undies, my bun-dies-
SPEAKER_1: Okay, no.
SPEAKER_2: No, it doesn't have to all be bugs.
SPEAKER_1: It doesn't have to all be bugs.
SPEAKER_1: There's other forms of soft armor.
SPEAKER_2: Like?
SPEAKER_1: Aluminum.
SPEAKER_1: No, it's a new form of aluminum.
SPEAKER_1: It's soft aluminum.
SPEAKER_2: Yeah.
SPEAKER_1: It's soft aluminum that can harden.
SPEAKER_2: Ooh, oh, is it like a Newtonian fluid?
SPEAKER_1: Yes.
SPEAKER_2: Neat.
SPEAKER_1: Newtonian fluid boy shorts that can harden when they sense an arrow coming for your crotch.
SPEAKER_2: Hell yeah, also I don't know if Newtonian is the correct, I think Newtonian fluid is correct, but it's like the more force you put into it, the harder it becomes, the more resistance it gives you.
SPEAKER_2: So you can slowly dip your hand into it, but if you punch it, you can break your fist.
SPEAKER_1: I like that.
SPEAKER_1: I like that a lot.
SPEAKER_1: That makes that, that's very good.
SPEAKER_1: You just have to be careful about putting that on because if you like try and put it on too fast, it just is not gonna go well.
SPEAKER_2: And I mean like that probably sucks, right?
SPEAKER_2: Like if you grab your cord too fast and you pull it towards you, it's like a whip and it whips you.
SPEAKER_2: Like, and that sucks, right?
SPEAKER_2: This is the drawback of good armor is if you put it on too fast, you'll damage yourself.
SPEAKER_1: What if theoretically just for fun, now I know this would never be useful at all, but what if we were to make pajamas that aren't battle ready?
SPEAKER_2: Huh.
SPEAKER_1: So like, what if we were to come up with a concept for pajamas where we don't have to be considering their use in combat?
SPEAKER_2: What are they used for, then?
SPEAKER_1: So they're used for sleeping when you're a civilian who is not in combat.
SPEAKER_2: What if combat comes to you?
SPEAKER_1: Then you put on your battle PJs.
SPEAKER_1: So they're PJs that can turn into battle PJs?
SPEAKER_2: It's like Iron Man armor but pajamas.
SPEAKER_1: Hell yeah!
SPEAKER_2: So it is silk, but it's woven in the way that at the touch of a button, it's spider silk.
SPEAKER_1: And spider silk is...
SPEAKER_2: Or exoskeleton.
SPEAKER_1: Why does it have to be bugs?
SPEAKER_2: Because strong exoskeleton.
SPEAKER_1: So it turns from silk into spider silk?
SPEAKER_2: Yeah, it's like the Iron Man armor where he uses his chest.
SPEAKER_1: Yeah, it also sort of.
SPEAKER_2: I'm battle ready.
SPEAKER_1: Great.
SPEAKER_1: And then what about the shorts on that one?
SPEAKER_2: They're like loose booty shorts.
SPEAKER_1: Great.
SPEAKER_1: That's cute.
SPEAKER_1: Can they say a specific thing on the butt?
SPEAKER_2: Bottom text?
SPEAKER_1: Yes.
SPEAKER_1: The best thing I've ever come up with for the butt of booty shorts is for them to say bottom text on them.
SPEAKER_1: It's so good.
SPEAKER_2: I mean, now you're battle ready.
SPEAKER_2: Oh, see, that's the thing is the text changes when they're battle ready too, right?
SPEAKER_2: It goes from bottom text to hard booty.
SPEAKER_2: No, it's just battle ready.
SPEAKER_1: Battle ready.
SPEAKER_2: Bottom text to battle ready.
SPEAKER_1: Battle ready.
SPEAKER_2: And the buttons on your butt.
SPEAKER_1: Yes.
SPEAKER_2: You just push your butt button.
SPEAKER_1: Your button.
SPEAKER_2: Your button.
SPEAKER_2: And then like your battle ready.
SPEAKER_1: Let's fight.
SPEAKER_1: This is what PJs were meant for.
SPEAKER_2: Hell yeah.
SPEAKER_2: Do you have a weird segment you're going to do?
SPEAKER_1: No, I don't have any cravings from the fifth dimension.
SPEAKER_1: Like I said, I totally closed that portal, which means there's nothing coming in.
SPEAKER_2: Do you want to give me a craving?
SPEAKER_1: I would love to give you a craving.
SPEAKER_1: Okay.
SPEAKER_1: So really this episode is just my YouTube habits.
SPEAKER_1: And the other thing on YouTube that I've been really, really enjoying watching is speedrunning history videos.
SPEAKER_1: This is not speedrunning of history.
SPEAKER_2: Wait, I thought it actually was.
SPEAKER_2: I thought it was just like there is a video where it's just someone going through history really fast.
SPEAKER_1: That would be extremely good.
SPEAKER_2: And it exists absolutely.
SPEAKER_2: And I feel like you would enjoy it.
SPEAKER_1: Almost certainly.
SPEAKER_1: So speedrunning history videos, there's particular, in particular, there's one person on YouTube who does really good ones called Summoning Salt.
SPEAKER_1: But there's a couple of different channels that do them.
SPEAKER_1: They are the world record history of certain games, of the speedruns of certain games.
SPEAKER_1: So basically they go through from the first known recorded speedruns to the current world record holder and tell you about what the world records were, who was up against who, and who was vying for the world record, and backs and forths, and new glitches or strategies or routes that were discovered.
SPEAKER_1: And it goes through this whole history of any given game and tells you about who was there at a certain point.
SPEAKER_1: And the thing that's so fun about them is they end up creating a narrative, and I love narratives.
SPEAKER_1: And also you get to learn really cool stuff, and also sometimes the glitches have really funny names.
SPEAKER_2: Like?
SPEAKER_1: Like a Watch for Rolling Rocks skip.
SPEAKER_1: Which is always fun, and they say it was such seriousness that it's very good.
SPEAKER_1: Watch for Rolling Rocks.
SPEAKER_2: Skip.
SPEAKER_1: But you'll also get, for a while, there was the argument over whether it was better to do the blue Squirtle run or the red Nidoran run in Pokemon Red and Blue.
SPEAKER_2: I can assume what those are.
SPEAKER_2: They sound pretty straightforward.
SPEAKER_1: Yeah, one of them was you play through the game with pretty much exclusively Squirtle.
SPEAKER_2: In blue version.
SPEAKER_1: In blue version.
SPEAKER_2: Right.
SPEAKER_1: And the other one was you play in red version with Nidoran male to get a Nidoking.
SPEAKER_2: That's buck wild.
SPEAKER_2: I loved having Nidoking on my team.
SPEAKER_1: Yeah, so there was this constant debate between these two of which was faster and there were people getting world records with both and it was super duper cool.
SPEAKER_1: And so, Clair, in order for me to take this craving, because you know, these videos don't come out that much.
SPEAKER_1: You take a lot of research and a lot of work.
SPEAKER_1: I want us to just go over the speedrunning history of a certain game.
SPEAKER_1: I don't have a particular idea of what game we should do, you know?
SPEAKER_2: I mean, there's a game that we are very passionate about.
SPEAKER_2: It is Smash Brothers, and so when you speedrun Smash Brothers.
SPEAKER_1: Yeah.
SPEAKER_1: So, speedrunning Smash Brothers.
SPEAKER_1: So, there's different categories of speedruns today.
SPEAKER_1: We're going to be going over...
SPEAKER_2: Any percent.
SPEAKER_1: So, any percent is beating the game as quickly as possible by any means necessary.
SPEAKER_2: Okay.
SPEAKER_1: Glitches allowed, skips allowed, all of that.
SPEAKER_2: Really?
SPEAKER_2: Wow.
SPEAKER_1: There's other percents.
SPEAKER_1: There's like 100% categories.
SPEAKER_1: So, for Smash.
SPEAKER_2: Right.
SPEAKER_2: Smash Brothers.
SPEAKER_1: Smash Brothers.
SPEAKER_1: Which version is this?
SPEAKER_1: Are we doing?
SPEAKER_1: Uh-huh.
SPEAKER_2: Yeah.
SPEAKER_2: All of them.
SPEAKER_1: So, it's...
SPEAKER_2: It's the reimagining of all the games.
SPEAKER_1: Speedrunning history.
SPEAKER_2: Throughout the game's history, how it's evolved, and how these glitches have gone through every single iteration of the game, somehow undetected by the game's creators.
SPEAKER_2: Now, here is like the first ever discovered glitch that will let you win the game, right?
SPEAKER_1: Yeah.
SPEAKER_2: Now, if you choose Fox, you have to choose Alt Fox.
SPEAKER_2: Now, if you hover over Fox, and you shake the controller up and down three times, and like, you know, pour water on it, then there will actually be an alternate skin, where it's just a normal Fox.
SPEAKER_2: No clothing, no scouter, no gun, just a normal Fox.
SPEAKER_2: And the thing about this Fox is as soon as you enter the level, it rips the enemy apart, and you immediately win.
SPEAKER_1: Okay, great.
SPEAKER_1: I love this.
SPEAKER_1: Yeah.
SPEAKER_1: And this is a pretty central glitch.
SPEAKER_1: And you saw runners like Fox No Clothes get some pretty fast times with it.
SPEAKER_1: She beat All Games.
SPEAKER_2: 10 milliseconds.
SPEAKER_1: In 10 milliseconds.
SPEAKER_1: It's a hard record to beat.
SPEAKER_1: That was the first record, too.
SPEAKER_1: It was.
SPEAKER_2: It's amazing.
SPEAKER_2: But not the current champion, surprisingly.
SPEAKER_1: No, because this is, of course, the All Games Any% category, and what people didn't ever conceive of was that you could just skip one of the games.
SPEAKER_1: One of the unknown TASer, TASer is a tool-assisted speedrun of someone telling a computer what to input, and TASers often come up with new tricks and skips.
SPEAKER_1: So this trick was, of course, the melee skip, which allows you to win melee without playing it.
SPEAKER_2: Wow.
SPEAKER_2: Amazing.
SPEAKER_1: So it allows you to do Smash 64, and then once you win Smash 64, if you input 1234 on your GameCube controller, that's it.
SPEAKER_2: Just 1234.
SPEAKER_1: 1234 on your GameCube controller that's connected to your N64, it will take you to the melee success screen.
SPEAKER_2: Amazing.
SPEAKER_1: Incredible stuff.
SPEAKER_1: And then you are immediately able to jump into Brawl, sorry, trip into Brawl.
SPEAKER_2: Skip into Brawl, really.
SPEAKER_1: Skip into Brawl, really.
SPEAKER_1: And from there, it saved a whole lot of time, brought the total down to like 5 milliseconds by...
SPEAKER_1: Who was that runner?
SPEAKER_1: Dongus Kongus.
SPEAKER_1: Dongus Kongus got the 5 millisecond world record.
SPEAKER_2: Amazing.
SPEAKER_2: Still not the champion somehow.
SPEAKER_1: Still not the champion, though.
SPEAKER_2: It really was Brawl that we did see the games really shine.
SPEAKER_2: Brawl really was held as the pinnacle above all else.
SPEAKER_1: Yes, Brawl was the perfect game.
SPEAKER_2: Yeah.
SPEAKER_2: There's this glitch, right, that if you select one stage and then you yell loud enough at your screen that it gets scared and backed out, you can pick a different stage and it actually thinks you're on the original stage while being in the first stage.
SPEAKER_2: And there is a way, there's a two-stage combination and I just happen to be forgetting the names of the two stages.
SPEAKER_2: What were the names of the two stages?
SPEAKER_2: I think one of them was called the Banana Splits Heights.
SPEAKER_1: And the other one was called New York.
SPEAKER_2: Okay, all right, all right.
SPEAKER_2: So you back out and you enter New York and it thinks you're in Banana Splits Heights.
SPEAKER_2: And now this thing in New York, I think it's called the Square of Times.
SPEAKER_1: Yes.
SPEAKER_2: You get spawned in the Square of Times.
SPEAKER_2: You do the Banana Splits in the Square of Times and you just, you just win, right?
SPEAKER_2: Like this is the weird code, right?
SPEAKER_1: It takes you to Brawl's success screen for the smallest amount of time, just enough for it to register and then jumps you immediately halfway into a game in Smash 4.
SPEAKER_1: The times were pretty close now, but it still did save a millisecond.
SPEAKER_1: So you're at four milliseconds.
SPEAKER_1: And who was the runner who got it to four milliseconds?
SPEAKER_2: He wanted to save everybody with his timekeeping skills.
SPEAKER_1: Of course.
SPEAKER_1: But that still isn't the champion.
SPEAKER_2: Oh, yeah, of course not.
SPEAKER_1: You have these two runners vying for power and they're getting it down to like 3.9 milliseconds, 3.8 milliseconds.
SPEAKER_2: Kongus Dongus and Meta Knight and Shining Armor.
SPEAKER_2: They're really head to head.
SPEAKER_1: Really, really head to head.
SPEAKER_2: They did have that romance in the middle, though.
SPEAKER_1: They did have a brief romance and, of course, it's very common in speedrunning.
SPEAKER_1: It's like an anime.
SPEAKER_1: Your rival is often also your lover.
SPEAKER_2: It is unfortunate, though, that a lot of speedrunning relationships end pretty quickly.
SPEAKER_2: Weird correlation there.
SPEAKER_2: Got to get all the feelings out of the way real fast.
SPEAKER_1: Their collaboration did lead to what is called Pikachu in a Box on Tilted Towers skip in Ultimate, Pikachu in a Box on Tilted Towers skip in Ultimate.
SPEAKER_1: You know, Tilted Towers, the famous Smash Ultimate map.
SPEAKER_2: The only reason I know this reference is because of the thing you told me to watch for the last episode called Snask you.
SPEAKER_1: Yeah, the Sonic 06 fandom talks about Fortnite's Tilted Towers, which really just sounds like you're getting so high you can't stand.
SPEAKER_1: Yeah, but of course, as we know, Fortnite is in Smash.
SPEAKER_1: And so the Tilted Towers stage in Smash Ultimate allows you to actually skip all of the games.
SPEAKER_2: At once.
SPEAKER_1: At once.
SPEAKER_1: You boot up Ultimate, you go into Tilted Towers with Pikachu and you hide under a box and then you press A, B, X, X, X, Y, X, A, B, X, A, B, X, A, B, up, up, up, down, down, left, right, left, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right.
SPEAKER_1: Okay, now down.
SPEAKER_1: And then you get every winning screen all at once.
SPEAKER_2: Like it just flashes before your eyes?
SPEAKER_1: Yeah, it just, it will actually, the screen, you get all five of them on screen at once.
SPEAKER_2: Oh, that's really neat.
SPEAKER_1: Yeah.
SPEAKER_2: It's really nice of them to have included that as a feature and not a bug.
SPEAKER_1: Yes, absolutely.
SPEAKER_1: Which is really incredible.
SPEAKER_1: And this was discovered by a new runner who came completely out of the woodwork.
SPEAKER_1: Out of the scene.
SPEAKER_2: Well, I mean, the other two were so distracted, snogging.
SPEAKER_1: Yeah, of course.
SPEAKER_1: They completely came out of nowhere, like just started posting runs online one day and they found this.
SPEAKER_1: And of course, as we all know, it was Jigglypuff.
SPEAKER_2: The player?
SPEAKER_1: Well, yeah, the player, Jigglypuff.
SPEAKER_1: The player?
SPEAKER_1: Which was a Jigglypuff.
SPEAKER_2: Uh-huh.
SPEAKER_1: Named Jigglypuff.
SPEAKER_2: Didn't even have an original name?
SPEAKER_1: Well, they were the first Jigglypuff.
SPEAKER_1: What do you want?
SPEAKER_1: What do you want out of that, right?
SPEAKER_1: Like, it was Jigglypuff?
SPEAKER_1: I don't see what's so hard to understand about this.
SPEAKER_2: I guess I'm just having a hard time processing how those tiny hands can input.
SPEAKER_1: Well, it's interesting.
SPEAKER_1: The reason why Jigglypuff has a little bit of an advantage, and this was actually a controversy for a little while, but they decided to allow it is because Jigglypuff just rolls on the controller and manages to push all the buttons completely perfectly.
SPEAKER_1: Yeah, completely perfectly immediately.
SPEAKER_2: And that's why the record soaks like low.
SPEAKER_1: Yeah, because of course, the record is two nanoseconds.
SPEAKER_2: Wow, breathtaking.
SPEAKER_1: Incredible what speedrunners are able to do.
SPEAKER_1: And that's where the record stands today.
SPEAKER_2: Yeah, I'm glad we caught up to today.
SPEAKER_2: I'm really excited to see what Jigglypuff can bring us in the future.
SPEAKER_2: Puffing along into the future.
SPEAKER_1: Yeah, nailed it.
SPEAKER_1: So, Clair, that brings us to our last craving.
SPEAKER_2: I guess it does.
SPEAKER_1: So, this is a stand-up.
SPEAKER_2: This is a hold-up.
SPEAKER_1: Tell me you're craving or die.
SPEAKER_1: Take it out of the cash register.
SPEAKER_1: Put it in the bag.
SPEAKER_1: What's the craving?
SPEAKER_2: All right.
SPEAKER_2: Now, ladies, a reimagining of the Scooby-Doo universe, where it comes back as an animated series, but it is creepy for realsies like the new Sabrina or the new Riverdale, but like also not live action.
SPEAKER_2: I do want animated.
SPEAKER_1: Okay.
SPEAKER_2: Also better than both of them.
SPEAKER_1: Right.
SPEAKER_1: Okay.
SPEAKER_1: Yes.
SPEAKER_2: Of course.
SPEAKER_1: So what you want is a dark reboot of Scoob.
SPEAKER_2: Not so much dark.
SPEAKER_2: I don't.
SPEAKER_1: I just wanted to be genuinely creepy.
SPEAKER_2: I want it to be like, you know, like a scary show.
SPEAKER_1: Sure.
SPEAKER_1: I think that would be a darker reboot because I don't remember any of the Scooby-Doo episodes being particularly scary.
SPEAKER_2: There may be slightly off-putting as a child, but like, you know, that Scooby-Doo movie where spoilers for the really old Scooby-Doo movie, Scrappy was like the main villain who like was destroying everyone's lives.
SPEAKER_2: They killed Scrappy off and then Scrappy no longer showed up in anything.
SPEAKER_1: Yes, that makes sense.
SPEAKER_1: So you want more genuinely creepy Scooby-Doo.
SPEAKER_2: Yeah, I want like, like I'm on the edge of my seat.
SPEAKER_2: Is everybody going to be okay?
SPEAKER_2: And I don't, I don't want any of the gang to get offed, honestly.
SPEAKER_1: You don't want them to get killed.
SPEAKER_2: Yeah, like I want it to be creepy.
SPEAKER_2: I do want to be on the edge of my seat.
SPEAKER_2: I want like suspense horror.
SPEAKER_1: Okay.
SPEAKER_2: With a good dog.
SPEAKER_1: So you want some jump scares?
SPEAKER_2: See, now when I think a good horror, for me, it's not jump scares.
SPEAKER_2: It's the idea that you think there's going to be a jump scare and then there isn't.
SPEAKER_2: Suspense, right?
SPEAKER_1: Yeah, as you've picked the perfect person to talk about this with because I'm too scared of horror movies to ever watch one.
SPEAKER_1: So my understanding of horror is unlimited.
SPEAKER_2: So just like imagine, like the gang is split up.
SPEAKER_2: You're in a giant mansion.
SPEAKER_2: They're all in a giant mansion and Scooby and Shaggy are off in a room and the camera is on both of their faces.
SPEAKER_2: Somehow, even though Scooby is a dog, maybe Shaggy is sitting down or something and sitting on a chair.
SPEAKER_2: They're eating Scooby snacks on the floor together.
SPEAKER_1: Because Scooby snacks are still in it.
SPEAKER_2: Yeah and a book is just like floating off the shelf behind them and you can see it happening but they don't see it, right?
SPEAKER_1: That's fine.
SPEAKER_2: And you're expecting something to happen and maybe a shadow is rising up too, right?
SPEAKER_2: And it's just these lovable little oafs.
SPEAKER_2: They're still like lovable little oafs.
SPEAKER_2: I'm not going to change the theme of the characters.
SPEAKER_1: Yeah, we're not changing the characters.
SPEAKER_2: But I want it to be a little suspenseful, you know?
SPEAKER_2: And also high budget animation.
SPEAKER_1: Of course, high budget animation.
SPEAKER_1: Is it still going to have the humor of like, oh zoinks, jinkies, like all of that sort of thing of like when they get scared by something they have funny reactions or is it now more along the lines of just like screaming?
SPEAKER_1: Do we have Velma screaming?
SPEAKER_2: I think both.
SPEAKER_2: Okay, so like some of the best writing I've ever seen has taken me within a 30-minute episode from crying to laughing to scared to laughing to like happy.
SPEAKER_1: Live, laugh, fear, cry, love.
SPEAKER_2: Yes.
SPEAKER_2: And I think with a good enough writer, you can have both.
SPEAKER_2: I just want like, you know, a really scary scene and then, you know, pick it up after.
SPEAKER_1: I mean, I mean, there's something to be said of like cutting tension, which like keeps audiences on their feet a little bit, but also like gives them a little bit of a release breathing room.
SPEAKER_1: I would like to be the let's make it less horror scary consultant on this on how to cut the tension so that you can extend it.
SPEAKER_2: Great.
SPEAKER_1: Because I would like to be able to watch it.
SPEAKER_1: I've actually not seen Sabrina and Riverdale.
SPEAKER_2: So I don't know how actually creepy Sabrina is Sabrina for all of its flaws and problems does a pretty good job of reimagining the fun high schooler from like the nineties, early 2000s shows Sabrina, the Teenage Witch.
SPEAKER_2: This one's called the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina.
SPEAKER_2: Yeah, it has a lot of wild stuff there.
SPEAKER_1: It's also a little gory.
SPEAKER_2: It's a little gory.
SPEAKER_2: Yeah, I wouldn't say it's overly gory.
SPEAKER_2: As someone who doesn't do gore, I find that it is a sufficient amount of not gore that I can watch it.
SPEAKER_1: Yeah, that makes sense.
SPEAKER_2: Which honestly, I'd be into in the Scooby-Doo imagining, especially since animated gore is a little easier.
SPEAKER_1: For sure, for sure.
SPEAKER_1: The whole thing about Scooby-Doo is it was never actually anything supernatural, right?
SPEAKER_1: It was always just-
SPEAKER_2: Oh, but it has to be this time, right?
SPEAKER_2: You know those teenage witches from that movie of Scooby-Doo where like they play this really cool rock song.
SPEAKER_1: And they're super hot and it's great.
SPEAKER_2: Yeah.
SPEAKER_2: I just-
SPEAKER_2: Can I play a little bit of that now?
SPEAKER_2: So imagine that song, but like it's kind of like a harder rock now.
SPEAKER_2: And like maybe that's the intro theme even.
SPEAKER_1: Okay, so the hex girls are crucial in here.
SPEAKER_2: Oh yeah, you have like the hex girls home base.
SPEAKER_1: So this isn't about the Scooby-Doo crew anymore.
SPEAKER_2: No, but it is.
SPEAKER_2: All right.
SPEAKER_2: So like the Scooby-Doo crew gets recruited by the hex girls.
SPEAKER_2: They're called back, and like something really weird is happening.
SPEAKER_1: Oh, I know.
SPEAKER_1: Something even weirder than the hex girls.
SPEAKER_1: I know what it is.
SPEAKER_1: Demons!
SPEAKER_1: Oh, hell yeah.
SPEAKER_2: They summon demons accidentally.
SPEAKER_1: Well, no, there's just demons popping up, and they're demon fighters.
SPEAKER_1: They fight demons.
SPEAKER_1: They're witches who fight demons.
SPEAKER_1: Ladies, what's better than this?
SPEAKER_1: Witches fighting demons.
SPEAKER_2: And like they need the Scooby crews.
SPEAKER_1: Yep.
SPEAKER_2: And they need to do the Scooby-Doo.
SPEAKER_1: They need to do Scooby-Doo?
SPEAKER_1: No, no, no, no, we're not going that weird.
SPEAKER_2: No, but they're implementing Scooby-Doo's crew's tactics.
SPEAKER_1: Okay, I like this, I like this.
SPEAKER_1: And so instead of it being like people in costumes, it's just straight up demons.
SPEAKER_2: It is straight up demons, right?
SPEAKER_2: And that's why it's dispensable, right?
SPEAKER_2: Because you know, you don't know who's behind it, right?
SPEAKER_2: It's a mystery, right?
SPEAKER_2: That was the biggest thing about Scooby-Doo.
SPEAKER_2: It's always a murder mystery.
SPEAKER_2: Or it's not a murder mystery.
SPEAKER_2: It's usually not a murder mystery.
SPEAKER_2: Even though the crew doesn't get murdered, I'm A-OK with side characters getting murdered.
SPEAKER_1: We can have murder, but have you considered...
SPEAKER_1: From what I remember, a surprising amount of Scooby-Doo plots that revolve around real estate.
SPEAKER_1: There's a lot of situations in which the villain was like, I wanted people to not come here and buy this place.
SPEAKER_1: This was a fairly common...
SPEAKER_1: I'm even mixing up Scooby-Doo with noir.
SPEAKER_1: But both of them often have real estate as a plot device.
SPEAKER_2: Okay.
SPEAKER_1: And the thing the villains do.
SPEAKER_1: So I want to say...
SPEAKER_2: Can we flip that?
SPEAKER_1: Flipping houses?
SPEAKER_2: That's fun.
SPEAKER_2: But what if it's like a landlord?
SPEAKER_1: Can we have someone who flips houses as like a...
SPEAKER_1: Oh, landlords are the villains, too.
SPEAKER_1: Landlords are demons.
SPEAKER_2: The landlords are getting turned into demons.
SPEAKER_1: I don't know if they're getting turned into them.
SPEAKER_1: They may have always been demons.
SPEAKER_2: Well, I mean...
SPEAKER_1: They're getting turned into demons.
SPEAKER_2: Actual demons.
SPEAKER_1: Okay.
SPEAKER_2: With claws and gnarly teeth.
SPEAKER_1: I like this.
SPEAKER_2: And shadow movement, because when that demon comes up behind Scooby and Shaggy as they're eating Scooby snacks, you know that that's a real demon that could potentially just take their heads off.
SPEAKER_1: Yeah.
SPEAKER_1: So you got your demon landlords, and, you know, all sorts of other demons.
SPEAKER_1: But landlords are, I think, a common target for demon possession.
SPEAKER_1: Right.
SPEAKER_2: You have to look for the people with most evil in their heart in order to, like, turn them into demons.
SPEAKER_1: So they're fighting landlords, politicians, racists.
SPEAKER_2: Yes.
SPEAKER_1: Like, God, there's so many options of ways you can take it.
SPEAKER_1: Can we do a little bit of what an episode is sort of like?
SPEAKER_2: Like, do you want to do more voice acting?
SPEAKER_1: I'm just saying let's lay out the bare bones of what happens to the Scooby-Doo crew.
SPEAKER_2: Okay, the Scooby-Doo crew gets recruited by the Hex sisters.
SPEAKER_1: Sure, this is the pilot, right?
SPEAKER_2: And it's just checking out a mansion, right?
SPEAKER_2: Maybe there's some weird disturbances at the mansion, right?
SPEAKER_2: Maybe they don't even know it's demons yet.
SPEAKER_1: Yes, they're like, oh, what if they're in the mansion originally and that's why they get recruited?
SPEAKER_1: It's the Scooby-Doo crew and they're in the mansion and they're like, Zoinks, looks like we've got a mystery on our hands or whatever the Scooby-Doo crew says.
SPEAKER_1: And they're looking around and, you know, trying to find this person and they find them.
SPEAKER_1: And, you know, do the whole Scooby-Doo thing of getting chased by them and then making a plan and all of that.
SPEAKER_2: Oh, but the chase scenes could be so good because the music...
SPEAKER_2: Like, I know the music was very, like, Scooby-Doo-Bee-Doo, kind of, like, fun upbeat.
SPEAKER_1: Yeah.
SPEAKER_2: We can, like, have the same, like...
SPEAKER_1: Dun-dun-dun-dun-dun.
SPEAKER_2: Yeah, maybe like that.
SPEAKER_1: Dun-dun-dun-dun-dun.
SPEAKER_2: Yeah, we could have some real fun, like...
SPEAKER_2: Yeah, perfect.
SPEAKER_2: We could have some fun tributes that are maybe, like, yeah, a quote darker, quote tone.
SPEAKER_1: I like that.
SPEAKER_2: But, like, creepy.
SPEAKER_2: I just want to put in everyone's minds, you know those little wind-up toy song, like, tune boxes?
SPEAKER_2: What if just one of those was playing the Scooby-Doo tone as, like, a monster was creeping up?
SPEAKER_1: That's really good.
SPEAKER_1: That's extremely good.
SPEAKER_2: Yeah, exactly, I want that.
SPEAKER_1: That's super good.
SPEAKER_1: And so, and then they capture the monster.
SPEAKER_1: This is all kind of really like first little bit of the episode.
SPEAKER_2: This is just the pilot.
SPEAKER_1: Yeah, this is just the pilot and the start of the episode.
SPEAKER_1: And they catch the monster and they go to take off the mask.
SPEAKER_1: And no mask.
SPEAKER_2: They rip the head off.
SPEAKER_2: The head comes off.
SPEAKER_1: Yeah, the fucking, the head comes off.
SPEAKER_2: And like they're horrified.
SPEAKER_1: And they're all horrified.
SPEAKER_2: And it is, okay, I just want to make clear, these are like young adults who are probably going through trauma.
SPEAKER_1: 100%.
SPEAKER_1: And then you see from behind them, the Hex girls appear and be like, looks like you've got a mystery on your hands.
SPEAKER_1: And then they recruit them and it's very, very good.
SPEAKER_2: And that's the end of the first episode.
SPEAKER_2: I'm so into this.
SPEAKER_1: Now this is the Scooby-Doo we deserve and need.
SPEAKER_2: Yeah.
SPEAKER_2: What are we calling it?
SPEAKER_2: Cause like Sabrina the Teenage Witch got re-imagined into the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina.
SPEAKER_2: Archie got re-imagined into Riverdale.
SPEAKER_2: Now I don't want to just recommend the Dew Crew to-
SPEAKER_1: No, I was going to do the Demonic Adventures of Scooby-Doo.
SPEAKER_2: I mean, it is almost a verbatim ripoff of Sabrina, but honestly, is it the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina?
SPEAKER_1: True.
SPEAKER_1: What if it's the Dew Crew's Demonic Adventures?
SPEAKER_2: The Dew Crew's Demonic-
SPEAKER_1: Demonic Mysteries?
SPEAKER_1: I don't know.
SPEAKER_2: Oh, oh, we do need mystery.
SPEAKER_1: We do need-
SPEAKER_2: I think we need mystery.
SPEAKER_1: The Dew Crew's Demonic Mysteries.
SPEAKER_2: What if it's just the Mysterious Scooby-Doo Crew?
SPEAKER_1: Oh, or the just the Mysterious Scooby-Doo.
SPEAKER_2: Both very good.
SPEAKER_1: I like just the, cause it's, you know, it was always like, what's new Scooby-Doo and all that.
SPEAKER_2: Yeah, the Mysterious Scooby-Doo.
SPEAKER_2: Yeah.
SPEAKER_2: And Scooby-Doo can have like a whole, why can this dog talk, right?
SPEAKER_1: Yeah.
SPEAKER_2: Have we explored this?
SPEAKER_2: I'm sure maybe there's something out there that has, but like maybe we can re-explore it.
SPEAKER_1: And we can re-explore it and find out.
SPEAKER_2: What if the demons are somehow involved?
SPEAKER_1: What if Scooby-Doo like at one point goes, yeah, I've dealt with this before.
SPEAKER_2: Like an old Drizzle's voice.
SPEAKER_1: Yeah, and then he puts on an eye patch.
SPEAKER_1: Still a dog.
SPEAKER_1: But he's like, yeah.
SPEAKER_1: I knew they'd come back one day.
SPEAKER_1: And the Hex girls are just like, yeah, we knew we would bring you back in the full Scooby-Doo.
SPEAKER_1: Welcome back, dude.
SPEAKER_1: That's so good.
SPEAKER_2: I want it so bad now.
SPEAKER_1: I actually just want this to exist.
SPEAKER_2: I know, this is why I brought it up.
SPEAKER_1: I just want this to exist with all of the corniness possible.
SPEAKER_2: Corniness, creepiness, like good plot, hell yeah.
SPEAKER_2: Oh yeah, somebody please make it.
SPEAKER_2: Fulfill my cravings.
SPEAKER_1: Fulfill our cravings.
SPEAKER_1: Do our cravings, thank you.
SPEAKER_2: Thank you and good night.

SPEAKER_2: What's your favorite number?
SPEAKER_1: God, I was actually having this conversation with my girlfriend the other day.
SPEAKER_1: I don't know that, I think it's gonna be like five or something like that.
SPEAKER_2: Wow, that's very rational of you.
SPEAKER_1: Five's a good number.
SPEAKER_1: It's a fun number to work with.
SPEAKER_1: What's your favorite number?
SPEAKER_2: It's slightly more irrational, pi.
SPEAKER_1: Pi's a really, really good number.
SPEAKER_1: A really irrational choice, though, for sure.
SPEAKER_1: I do wanna send one out to my boy 69, though.
SPEAKER_1: Good number.
SPEAKER_2: 420.
