SPEAKER_2: I can't decide whether I should do a bad binary joke, or if that's bad, and I just shouldn't.
SPEAKER_1: I think you're fine.
SPEAKER_2: We can do two takes, we can do two takes.
SPEAKER_1: Okay, we're doing two takes.
SPEAKER_1: I think this has become the intro.
SPEAKER_3: It is what they were doing in the two takes.
SPEAKER_3: No, no, no, no, no.
SPEAKER_2: Fuck, this wasn't my intro, shit.
SPEAKER_3: Do your fucking intro, we're doing two takes.
SPEAKER_2: No, no, no, this is the intro now, this is the fucking intro.
SPEAKER_2: Okay, well, this is, okay, this is the second take.
SPEAKER_2: All right, fuck.
SPEAKER_2: Good evening, nope, that's just fucking vampire.
SPEAKER_2: Why am I incapable of just saying good evening like a normal fucking human being?
SPEAKER_3: Good evening, everyone.
SPEAKER_2: Yes.
SPEAKER_2: That's not, wait, is that what you qualify as a normal human voice?
SPEAKER_1: Yeah, I mean, I also live in Republic City in Legend of Korra, so.
SPEAKER_2: Trans-bending, gender-bending, gender-bending.
SPEAKER_2: My favorite sport.
SPEAKER_1: Okay, now you have to do your intro.
SPEAKER_2: No, I think that was the intro.
SPEAKER_1: No, no, I think you have to do what you're gonna do.
SPEAKER_1: You have to give the people, people are gonna be coming for us.
SPEAKER_1: They're gonna be knocking down our doors desperate to know what your planned intro was.
SPEAKER_1: I mean, people, I mean me, I'm gonna come to your house.
SPEAKER_2: If you come to my house, I have to kick you out because there's a pandemic going on.
SPEAKER_1: I will just stand outside of your door and keep knocking.
SPEAKER_2: It's like the thing in that horror movie that just always walks at you, except it's just you at my door just knock, knock, knock.
SPEAKER_1: Yeah, I'm following.
SPEAKER_2: Knock.
SPEAKER_2: You're following.
SPEAKER_2: It's social media, it follows, but it's just anyways.
SPEAKER_2: Okay, should I do the intro?
SPEAKER_2: Is this the intro or should I do the intro?
SPEAKER_1: This is the intro and then you're gonna do the intro.
SPEAKER_2: Wait, sorry, is this the intro or am I doing the intro?
SPEAKER_2: Who's on third?
SPEAKER_1: Doing the intro is part of the intro.
SPEAKER_2: Yes?
SPEAKER_2: Fuck, I think we're in it.
SPEAKER_2: This is Salt Cravings, my name's Clair.
SPEAKER_1: I'm Brianna and I'm offended, flabbergasted, amazed at Claire's inability to do a joke.
SPEAKER_2: Really setting the stage here.
SPEAKER_2: This is gonna be the whole episode.
SPEAKER_2: No jokes here, just failed jokes and retakes.
SPEAKER_2: Brianna, how have you been?
SPEAKER_1: I've been living and surviving.
SPEAKER_2: Woo, living.
SPEAKER_2: Love that, that's my favorite activity.
SPEAKER_3: You know how, hey, yeah, you know, can't complain, forget about it.
SPEAKER_2: You know, I'm changing my mind about that intro.
SPEAKER_2: I think maybe.
SPEAKER_3: Give me the intro.
SPEAKER_2: No.
SPEAKER_3: How are you doing?
SPEAKER_2: Absolutely not, I'm okay.
SPEAKER_1: We are in it, my very good friends.
SPEAKER_1: That's my gender neutral thing is good friends.
SPEAKER_1: Good friends.
SPEAKER_1: We're all our friends, don't look up what a parasocial relationship is.
SPEAKER_2: Wasn't that last episode?
SPEAKER_2: Are we just, if you queued last episode and you go straight into this episode, it's just like, goodbye, friends.
SPEAKER_2: And then it's like, hello, my friends.
SPEAKER_1: I believe that was the episode before last, don't worry.
SPEAKER_2: Well, just nobody listens to that specific episode.
SPEAKER_2: It doesn't exist anymore.
SPEAKER_2: It's all about parasocial relationships.
SPEAKER_2: That's what we do on this here podcast because you can't have relationships in real life anymore.
SPEAKER_2: It's all digital relationships.
SPEAKER_1: You know, if you think about it, really all relationships right now are pod social relationships.
SPEAKER_2: I hope you could hear the three times I processed that.
SPEAKER_2: And finally arrived at the joke.
SPEAKER_2: This is a podcast where we talk about and solve our cravings.
SPEAKER_2: We're really on it tonight, so maybe we should just get into it.
SPEAKER_2: Brianna, do you want to give us this evening's first craving?
SPEAKER_1: I would love to.
SPEAKER_1: Let me tell you, we are beepin and we are boopin, and we are makin music, and we are using no real instruments.
SPEAKER_1: Because I have really been getting into music that is like hyperpop, or it's just like all synths all the time, no real instruments.
SPEAKER_1: This is my new favorite genre, it's like weird, cool music with lots of distortion and synthetic effects.
SPEAKER_1: And, you know, this is the, of course, the classically trans girl genre of music, where the space in which like Sophie, Rest In Peace, pioneered a lot, but that goes back to like Wendy Carlos in terms of associations with trans women.
SPEAKER_1: And now is like, I think a space that's like, you know, obviously the most popular one in this space at this point is 100 Gecs.
SPEAKER_1: They are one of the most popular.
SPEAKER_2: I'm sorry, what?
SPEAKER_1: 100 Gecs.
SPEAKER_2: Okay, so I've seen that on Twitter.
SPEAKER_2: I thought that was like 20 to 30 hogs sort of joke.
SPEAKER_1: No, 100 Gecs is a band.
SPEAKER_1: And you know what?
SPEAKER_1: Let me play you a song right now.
SPEAKER_1: Let's go.
SPEAKER_1: That is the remix of the 100 gecs song Ringtone, which features Charli XCX, Rico Nasty, and Kero Kero Bonito.
SPEAKER_2: Those are some big names.
SPEAKER_1: Yeah.
SPEAKER_1: These are all folks who like to play around with this space.
SPEAKER_1: And in general, this is a really fun space.
SPEAKER_1: A lot of what I guess can at this point only be described as bimbo core shit is in this area.
SPEAKER_1: And there's some very good like playlists with a lot of this stuff that are based in that.
SPEAKER_1: Anyway, I just really like this type of music.
SPEAKER_1: I just really like when it's really kind of overwhelming, but fun, you know, when it's like poppy, but it's like going a little too far.
SPEAKER_1: I mean, it's a little bit too much, you know?
SPEAKER_1: And just in general, I think we need more synths in the world.
SPEAKER_1: This is a craving I've had since before Sophie passed.
SPEAKER_1: But speaking specifically on Sophie, one of the things that I believe is true about her is that she would, every time that she made a new song, she would use something else as like an instrument.
SPEAKER_1: Like she would create a new type of sound, you know?
SPEAKER_1: She would create sounds with like rushing water or hitting a drumstick on a like computer tower or like weird stim toys.
SPEAKER_1: So like, what are some things?
SPEAKER_1: How are we gonna make some new synths?
SPEAKER_1: Also like, what do you think about?
SPEAKER_1: Is this anything for you?
SPEAKER_1: Or is this just like, eh?
SPEAKER_2: No, I fucking vibe with this music.
SPEAKER_2: There was a while.
SPEAKER_2: Where I was just listening to Charli XCX for like a full month.
SPEAKER_2: I don't know how other people listen to music.
SPEAKER_2: I have learned that my music listening styles are incredibly weird, where I will pick an artist, listen to their entire discography and then only listen to their entire discography and nothing else.
SPEAKER_2: So Charli XCX was like two to three weeks maybe of my life.
SPEAKER_2: And obviously Sophie was another month or two.
SPEAKER_2: I actually only learned about her music like from her passing, clearly.
SPEAKER_2: I didn't know about this 100 Gecs.
SPEAKER_2: I don't actually know of the other name you mentioned, Wendy, what was the last name?
SPEAKER_1: Wendy Carlos.
SPEAKER_2: Carlos, gonna look her up afterwards.
SPEAKER_2: And that's gonna be my next month.
SPEAKER_1: Wendy Carlos is definitely different.
SPEAKER_1: She's like, she's still around but doesn't do much in public anymore, but she's like, she made a lot of soundtracks in the like, I think 70s.
SPEAKER_1: And she also was sort of the person to bring synths into the mainstream with her.
SPEAKER_1: Like she made a, I think of when a Grammy, an album of Bach music that was all made by synthetics.
SPEAKER_2: Ah, that sounds great.
SPEAKER_1: Music in like the 70s.
SPEAKER_1: And people lost their fucking minds.
SPEAKER_2: Yeah, of course they did.
SPEAKER_1: People lost it.
SPEAKER_1: They said this was the end of music.
SPEAKER_1: They said it was the best achievement of humanity.
SPEAKER_1: Like people lost their fucking minds.
SPEAKER_1: And she made like soundtracks for like A Clockwork Orange and other films.
SPEAKER_1: And then like, yeah.
SPEAKER_1: And then eventually Somewhere Along the Way came out as trance and like still made synth music.
SPEAKER_1: But she hasn't made music for a while at this point.
SPEAKER_1: But the synth started with us, and now a lot of trans gals like to use it.
SPEAKER_1: Charli XCX is a fun example of like a cis girl who just seems to almost exclusively or at least very often collaborate with trans women.
SPEAKER_1: And like is one of those cis girls, you know, the specific type of cis girls that just happen to be friends with a lot of trans.
SPEAKER_2: But to answer your original question, yeah, I vibe with this music and I absolutely like, I would love like, what are we doing to make new sounds?
SPEAKER_2: And my first thought was we're just gonna make a, we're just gonna take a microphone and we're just gonna find ways we can drop it.
SPEAKER_2: And I just think like, what if we dropped it on a trampoline, right?
SPEAKER_2: You're just bouncing on a trampoline with a microphone.
SPEAKER_2: I think that would be, you know, if we were in a pandemic and I had unlimited money, I would just buy a trampoline right now, assemble it outside of my apartment, go jump on it, record that audio and then put it into this podcast, but I'm not gonna do that.
SPEAKER_2: What's up?
SPEAKER_1: I can think of like five different ways to make new sounds with a trampoline.
SPEAKER_2: Yes, name the trampoline noises.
SPEAKER_1: Mic drop, which is where you drop the mic on the trampoline.
SPEAKER_1: Another is where you just hold the mic as you bounce and it bounces up and down.
SPEAKER_1: You can use the springs of the trampoline for sure to make some specific noises.
SPEAKER_2: Oh yeah, oh, that's good.
SPEAKER_1: You know, play something on them.
SPEAKER_1: If you have a net, you can make some net noises.
SPEAKER_1: If you don't have a net, then you can make the noise of someone falling off the trampoline, like an old childhood friend of mine did and where he broke his arm.
SPEAKER_1: Wait, no, sorry, that wasn't an old childhood friend.
SPEAKER_1: That happened to me.
SPEAKER_1: I didn't break my arm, but I did mostly sprain it.
SPEAKER_1: I forget what has happened to me and what happened to my childhood friends who are boys because I don't consider old me to be me anymore.
SPEAKER_2: Jesus, holy shit.
SPEAKER_2: I love it.
SPEAKER_1: So that happened to me, not a friend of mine.
SPEAKER_1: But I would be happy to sample that sound if we could go back and grab that or make that happen to someone else.
SPEAKER_2: Love to be disassociated from my body so much that memories of other people are actually memories of myself.
SPEAKER_2: So obviously the title of this is Bounce and or the title of the songs are like Mic Drop and like Springs because we are music producers and we know how to name things.
SPEAKER_1: The concept of an entire concept album made on trampoline kicks so much ass.
SPEAKER_2: That rules.
SPEAKER_2: Oh, absolutely.
SPEAKER_2: Because you could bounce other things on the trampoline while you're bouncing.
SPEAKER_2: This absolutely rules.
SPEAKER_2: Please someone steal this idea and do it.
SPEAKER_1: I know we got people listening who make music or who know people what makes music.
SPEAKER_1: Make a trampoline concept album.
SPEAKER_2: All you need is a trampoline.
SPEAKER_1: I don't know where you're gonna find a trampoline.
SPEAKER_1: Yeah, I was gonna say.
SPEAKER_1: Everyone get your record label to give it to you.
SPEAKER_2: Me writing off a trampoline as a business expense.
SPEAKER_2: Yeah, I needed this.
SPEAKER_1: I bet you could just go into a forest and just like record like a billion sounds.
SPEAKER_2: Oh, probably.
SPEAKER_2: I'm sure people do that.
SPEAKER_2: It'd be like cottagecore, but we're gonna steal that word and we're gonna have a have a new and wholesome meeting.
SPEAKER_1: Here.
SPEAKER_1: Hang on.
SPEAKER_1: I know I so since it's like synthetic, but it's also cottagecore.
SPEAKER_1: I think it's just it's so it's it's cottagecore, but written with like leet.
SPEAKER_1: So it's C0TT4G3C0R3.
SPEAKER_2: I'm just going to make that cottagecore I think that's the title just so people can fucking read it.
SPEAKER_2: And cottagecore also like encompasses camping too, I think, right?
SPEAKER_2: Like you go camping, you bring your trampling camping, you got to get that good mix of springs and birds.
SPEAKER_1: Okay.
SPEAKER_1: But like camping, I mean, like a campfire, a tent, a tarp, oh, tarp noises, can't even talk about tarp noises.
SPEAKER_2: Okay, you said tent and my immediate thought was, ah, the noises of people saying fuck as they try to set up a tent, because that's what I do when I try to set up a tent.
SPEAKER_1: A really distorted, like really distorted noise of someone failing to hammer in a spike of a tent and then fuck.
SPEAKER_2: I think this would be great music.
SPEAKER_2: It's a real shame that neither of us are music producers.
SPEAKER_2: And so really, the content of this is listening to us talk about great noises and making none of them.
SPEAKER_1: But what if we did?
SPEAKER_1: Wouldn't that be cool?
SPEAKER_1: Oh my god.
SPEAKER_2: Sponsor.
SPEAKER_2: Yeah, go to the Patreon, give us $1,000 a month, we'll make a we'll make a fucking album, I guess.
SPEAKER_2: Look, I'll make an album for $1,000 a month.
SPEAKER_1: Oh my god.
SPEAKER_1: Absolutely.
SPEAKER_2: I don't promise it'll be good, but fuck.
SPEAKER_2: I'll use that money for a fucking trampoline and then I'll go camping and I'll record everything and there you go.
SPEAKER_1: More sound effects.
SPEAKER_1: More just like taking foldy work from movies and make it into just take those sound files and use them for music instead.
SPEAKER_2: We need to use the Wilhelm scream, but in as a synth, all the ways you can distort that one scream, you know the scream that I'm talking about, right?
SPEAKER_1: I know the scream, the like, ahhh.
SPEAKER_2: Yeah, nail that.
SPEAKER_2: Perfect.
SPEAKER_1: God, a Wilhelm scream as like, that's definitely the intro to some hyperpop song.
SPEAKER_1: Probably not a very good one.
SPEAKER_1: I'm gonna keep it real with you, but I bet it is somewhere.
SPEAKER_1: Nerd, who thinks it's cool, the Wilhelm scream is still like, funny.
SPEAKER_2: Unlike our cool cottagecore trampoline album, which is super cool and amazing.
SPEAKER_1: Yeah, I think it kicks ass.
SPEAKER_1: I think, no, I think it kicks ass because none of those have been overused like fucking Wilhelm scream.
SPEAKER_1: And also because we're heavily distorting cottagecore.
SPEAKER_2: I feel like cottagecore has a sound already and it's like low-fi indie with some birds over top of it.
SPEAKER_1: Or the like one that has in general been adopted I think by a lot of cottagecore people is like Mitsuki.
SPEAKER_1: Cottagecore people love Mitsuki.
SPEAKER_2: It's the meme and it just says, cottagecore people love Mitsuki.
SPEAKER_2: One of my friends who I've been hanging out a lot with and playing Elder Scrolls has been making the joke and it's just in my brain now.
SPEAKER_2: White people love to be named blank and just white people love to be named cottagecore Mitsuki is just repeating in my brain now.
SPEAKER_1: I just...
SPEAKER_2: My child is named cottagecore Mitsuki.
SPEAKER_3: Oh, we can't get into this.
SPEAKER_1: Maybe don't take a woman of color's music for your weird colonialist fantasy, is my take.
SPEAKER_2: Is that what Mitsuki is doing?
SPEAKER_1: No, that's what people love to just like...
SPEAKER_2: Right, sorry.
SPEAKER_2: I completely blanked on what cottagecore was for a second because our cottagecore is better.
SPEAKER_1: Our cottagecore is like...
SPEAKER_2: And I was thinking about my child named cottagecore Mitsuki.
SPEAKER_1: You know, switched on cottagecore.
SPEAKER_2: Switched on cottagecore?
SPEAKER_1: Switched on Bok was the Bok one.
SPEAKER_2: Oh, is that what it's called?
SPEAKER_1: Carlos, somebody switched on cottagecore now.
SPEAKER_2: Switched on cottagecore.
SPEAKER_2: So now that I'm going to be listening to Switched-On Cottagecore by the Cravings of Salt Band, which is the name of our band.
SPEAKER_1: We could just call it the Salt Cravings Band, but...
SPEAKER_2: Oh, it's like the Dave Matthews Band, but...
SPEAKER_1: But if Dave Matthews was named Salt Cravings, yes.
SPEAKER_2: White people love to be called Salt Cravings.
SPEAKER_1: That's true, we do.
SPEAKER_3: That's what, yes.
SPEAKER_2: It's us.
SPEAKER_3: Should we move on?
SPEAKER_1: Do you want to hit me with your next craving, though not too hard?
SPEAKER_2: Gently whacking Brianna with my next craving, like one of those floppy pool toys.
SPEAKER_1: I think I'm way cooler than a floppy pool toy.
SPEAKER_2: No, I'm whacking you with one.
SPEAKER_2: I'm the floppy pool toy.
SPEAKER_2: Jesus, I can almost not say that.
SPEAKER_1: But if you're the floppy pool toy and I'm the floppy pool toy, then who's driving the podcast?
SPEAKER_2: So my next craving, which would affect...
SPEAKER_2: I'm going to send you this website, because Brianna, I just need to download more RAM.
SPEAKER_2: I really need more RAM in my computer.
SPEAKER_2: And generally, I need a new computer.
SPEAKER_2: But really, what my computer needs is RAM.
SPEAKER_2: If I use Discord to call you and use Chrome at the same time, it fucks up my audio.
SPEAKER_2: If I play a video like you sent me earlier, it just destroys my framerate.
SPEAKER_2: I need to download more RAM.
SPEAKER_2: I need to find RAM.
SPEAKER_2: I need to go pillaging for RAM.
SPEAKER_2: I was going to say harvesting and I said pillaging.
SPEAKER_2: So I guess electronics are not done ethically, but so I'm going to go.
SPEAKER_2: We're going to do ethically sourced RAM.
SPEAKER_2: How do I ethically source my RAM?
SPEAKER_1: Oh, I see.
SPEAKER_1: You want to just ethically source your RAM.
SPEAKER_2: Yeah, I want organic farm raised RAM.
SPEAKER_1: You don't want to have Bitcoin RAM.
SPEAKER_1: You don't want a RAM NFT or whatever.
SPEAKER_2: I'm going to take a digital image.
SPEAKER_1: Is that what it is?
SPEAKER_2: NFT.
SPEAKER_2: Yeah, it's an NFT.
SPEAKER_2: I'm going to sell you this picture of Spongebob eating RAM for $1,000.
SPEAKER_1: Obviously, the easiest way, and this is kind of, you know, I think this episode, really what we're discovering is that you can blend the farming cottagecore lifestyle with the high tech lifestyle.
SPEAKER_1: And I know that you can do this because of course, RAM chickens.
SPEAKER_2: Sorry, what?
SPEAKER_1: So a RAM chicken, we all love chickens.
SPEAKER_1: And we're all like, we're all sad when a chicken dies.
SPEAKER_1: What if you didn't have to use what if you couldn't even eat the chicken and so there was no chance it would die and instead, you are only taking its eggs, which are RAM, the eggs are RAM.
SPEAKER_1: So RAM chickens are sort of cyborg chickens.
SPEAKER_1: That sounds painful.
SPEAKER_2: Holy, I feel like producing an egg is already painful enough.
SPEAKER_2: Just the face a chicken would make as it like shits out a stick of RAM is like-
SPEAKER_1: No, it's not shitting out a stick of RAM.
SPEAKER_1: It's shitting out an egg which has a stick of RAM in it.
SPEAKER_2: Is it like a really oblong egg?
SPEAKER_3: You gotta let me tell you more about it.
SPEAKER_2: Sorry, please tell me about the RAM chicken.
SPEAKER_1: No, don't worry.
SPEAKER_1: Don't worry.
SPEAKER_1: The egg at first only contains one RAM, one singular RAM.
SPEAKER_1: So it's not especially oblong.
SPEAKER_1: We put it in all the classrooms.
SPEAKER_1: Everyone loves incubating the RAM eggs and then eventually, gradually the RAM will.
SPEAKER_1: Grow into a full big stick of RAM.
SPEAKER_2: Now, there was one part that worried me.
SPEAKER_2: It was the incubation phase because as far as we understand, egg farming is the most ethically sourced you can get food in this country.
SPEAKER_1: Listen, my family, growing up, one of my mom's co-workers used to raise chickens and she'd give us their eggs and-
SPEAKER_2: You always have the fastest computers from your mother's friends' chickens.
SPEAKER_3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_1: That's why we just need to raise the chickens ourselves.
SPEAKER_1: Because there are ethical ways to farm eggs or at least more ethical ways that involve caring for the chickens.
SPEAKER_1: And again, you're not killing the chickens, right?
SPEAKER_1: You know, let's be clear here, the ram can grow if we want to.
SPEAKER_1: You can hatch some eggs and get new ram chickens.
SPEAKER_2: Now, Brianna, can I play Cyberpunk 2077 on a ram chicken?
SPEAKER_1: You might need a couple ram chicken eggs for that, you know?
SPEAKER_1: Yeah, and you can't, I mean, you can't play anything on them.
SPEAKER_1: Well, you could probably play Doom on them.
SPEAKER_2: The only, the only real way, you're not a real Doom player if you're not playing Doom on a ram chicken.
SPEAKER_1: Yeah, that is the best way to play Doom.
SPEAKER_1: That's how the developers intended it.
SPEAKER_1: They raised chickens and that's how they were able to do the incredible things they did at the time.
SPEAKER_2: It's a little known fact that Doom was actually programmed on a farm and they actually did all their testing on ram chickens and that's why it runs so smoothly.
SPEAKER_1: Yeah, all of the developers on Doom lived and worked on a farm.
SPEAKER_2: I have been, I'm sorry, I've been trying to figure out how to say chicken with a T at the start so that I can say non-free-range chicken and have it be NFT.
SPEAKER_2: I just, the T is silent.
SPEAKER_1: Non-free-range chicken.
SPEAKER_3: Chicken, it's like the way a child would say it.
SPEAKER_1: Non-free-range chicken.
SPEAKER_2: And that's what an NFT is.
SPEAKER_2: I'm really excited to get my chicken loaded, I mean my chicken ram loaded up and talk to you in a normal voice that doesn't garble to hell.
SPEAKER_2: But in the meantime, it's time to burn that craving.
SPEAKER_2: So I came up with a new way to do this.
SPEAKER_1: Tell me about, tell me about it.
SPEAKER_2: I think three was a good number.
SPEAKER_2: You know, in Duet of Steel, we would each pick a card and we'd sort of play them against each other.
SPEAKER_2: What we need to do is there's three categories.
SPEAKER_2: There's most flammable, least flammable and wild card.
SPEAKER_2: And so we each need to pick a craving and say it, and then we need to figure out which one is more flammable, and then we do the least flammable, then we do the wild card, and we just figure it out from there.
SPEAKER_2: How do you think of that?
SPEAKER_1: Yeah, that makes total sense.
SPEAKER_2: So quickly, while you're choosing, if you didn't listen to the last episode, Burn That Craving is a segment about burning old cravings that we're never going to get to because the podcast is ending.
SPEAKER_2: We're going to consider the flammability of the craving, whatever that means.
SPEAKER_1: All right, so first round is most flammable?
SPEAKER_2: First round is most flammable.
SPEAKER_2: You ready?
SPEAKER_2: I can go first, you can go first.
SPEAKER_2: Let's go.
SPEAKER_2: So first up, my contender, my contestant, my challenger is Bud.
SPEAKER_2: If you know what I mean.
SPEAKER_1: Malfunctioning robots.
SPEAKER_2: Malfunctioning robots.
SPEAKER_2: Can the malfunctioning robots smoke Bud?
SPEAKER_2: And if so, which one is more flammable?
SPEAKER_1: I mean, here's the thing, malfunctioning robots are often already on fire.
SPEAKER_1: That's my sort of argument.
SPEAKER_1: Why malfunctioning robots are flammable since they're on fire.
SPEAKER_1: But Bud is so easy to light.
SPEAKER_2: That's until it isn't until you're out in the rain.
SPEAKER_1: That's also true of malfunctioning robots.
SPEAKER_2: It's just, you know, it's really hard to get your malfunctioning robots to smoke when you want them to.
SPEAKER_2: I don't have a resolution to how we're supposed to do this.
SPEAKER_2: I just came up with the categories.
SPEAKER_1: I want to I want to give it to I'm going to give it to Bud.
SPEAKER_1: Bud is really flammable really, really easily.
SPEAKER_1: Malfunctioning robots aren't always flammable.
SPEAKER_2: All right.
SPEAKER_2: Next up, least flammable.
SPEAKER_2: We don't want us to be flammable.
SPEAKER_2: Who's your fighter?
SPEAKER_1: The ability to smell when milk is off.
SPEAKER_2: Mine is peanut butter.
SPEAKER_1: So I think if we really narrowed it down, mine would probably be like spoiled milk, basically.
SPEAKER_2: No, yours is the ability to smell when milk is off.
SPEAKER_2: And I just I think I think you've got this one.
SPEAKER_2: I feel like I can visualize setting peanut butter on fire.
SPEAKER_2: I don't think it would work very well.
SPEAKER_2: But I don't know if I can visualize thinking about milk being on fire.
SPEAKER_1: All right, now the wild wild card.
SPEAKER_2: All right, mine is makeup.
SPEAKER_1: Mine is world building.
SPEAKER_1: The problem with burn that craving for me is my cravings at this point.
SPEAKER_1: The ones I have left are so conceptual.
SPEAKER_1: Same.
SPEAKER_2: Mine are so specific.
SPEAKER_1: The problem is, is that we're just like you crave things.
SPEAKER_1: I crave the vague shape of a thing.
SPEAKER_1: Anyway, I think makeup is more flammable than world building, though some worlds are on fire.
SPEAKER_1: Let's say that world building is like a map, then world building is way more flammable because that's paper.
SPEAKER_2: Yeah, I feel like I don't do a lot of my world building on paper anymore, but I'm going to leave that up to interpretation from the audience.
SPEAKER_2: Who do you think won that tweet at us or send us a message?
SPEAKER_2: Who you think won that wild card?
SPEAKER_1: Well, that was fun.
SPEAKER_1: That was a good time.
SPEAKER_2: And that has been Burn That Craving.
SPEAKER_2: Brianna, do you want to take us out of the burning zone, the flammability zone, drive away from the fire?
SPEAKER_1: Yeah, absolutely.
SPEAKER_1: So my next craving includes some spoilers.
SPEAKER_2: I've been pre-warned.
SPEAKER_1: But in order for me to say the craving, I have to first spoiler warn people.
SPEAKER_1: And then I'll save the craving.
SPEAKER_1: And I will probably in the description just mark it as spoilers.
SPEAKER_1: Because saying the craving is a spoiler for at least two things.
SPEAKER_1: So the two things that this is a spoiler for are She-Ra and the second Young Avengers series.
SPEAKER_1: The one by Kieran Gillan.
SPEAKER_1: Yeah, that comic series.
SPEAKER_1: Oh, you know what?
SPEAKER_1: There might be one more spoiler in here.
SPEAKER_1: I'm also going to say it's a spoiler for...
SPEAKER_1: We're probably also going to talk about Heaven Will Be Mine.
SPEAKER_2: Oh, shit.
SPEAKER_1: It's not like directly a spoiler, I guess.
SPEAKER_1: But we're also probably going to talk about that.
SPEAKER_1: So if you want to know nothing about that game.
SPEAKER_2: There'll be a timestamp in the description.
SPEAKER_1: So a thing that I love about gay people is that we love to make our love save the world.
SPEAKER_1: Specifically, I adore when there's a gay kiss that saves all of reality or the world or, you know, people that are important to us or whatever.
SPEAKER_1: The power of a magic gay kiss.
SPEAKER_1: And, you know, this is one of those things that I'm like, surely this can't be that common.
SPEAKER_1: But it happens in She-Ra, it happens in Young Avengers, and it happens in Heaven Will Be Mine.
SPEAKER_1: Though, maybe not as directly in that one.
SPEAKER_1: I just adore it.
SPEAKER_1: I think it's great.
SPEAKER_1: I think there should be more gay kisses that save the world.
SPEAKER_1: The reason why the gay kiss that saves the world usually works is because it's between very powerful people.
SPEAKER_1: So, like, in She-Ra, it's between She-Ra and the Cat Girl.
SPEAKER_2: The most powerful entity known to man.
SPEAKER_1: The most powerful entity in Young Avengers.
SPEAKER_1: It's between a reality, like, shaping wizard warlock type and a big guy who can change forms.
SPEAKER_2: Big man.
SPEAKER_1: And in Heaven Will Be Mine, it's three mech pilot gals with the most powerful mechs known to man.
SPEAKER_1: But that is a trope that I love.
SPEAKER_1: And so, Clair, can you think of some gay kisses that can save our world?
SPEAKER_1: Can we just figure that out?
SPEAKER_2: I feel like every gay kiss I have saves my world.
SPEAKER_2: So I don't know about you, but my job here is done.
SPEAKER_2: Bye, I'm signing off.
SPEAKER_1: You know what?
SPEAKER_1: Me too.
SPEAKER_1: And for what it's worth, I think that, like, the thing that I love about this trope is that in addition to it being kind of a, like, way to say, you can't fucking take this out, like, you cannot remove this.
SPEAKER_2: Right, we've tied the intimacy to the world changing.
SPEAKER_1: Right, right.
SPEAKER_1: It is, on the one hand, it is us saying, it is people who create things saying, you fucking cannot take it out of here.
SPEAKER_1: You cannot remove it, you cannot just cut it.
SPEAKER_1: And it's also asserting that gay love is the most important force in the universe of that world, which rules to me.
SPEAKER_2: And also, if I'm gonna be on my own shit for a second, it does so in our world, too.
SPEAKER_2: I think every gay kiss saves the world, over and over and over again.
SPEAKER_2: I think queer love is, like, unapologetic queer love does so much in the real world.
SPEAKER_1: I mean, I even remember, like, and this is, you know, obviously on a lesser level and in a restless way, but like, I remember when the period of, like, TV where you could have gay characters on screen that you could kiss.
SPEAKER_1: Right?
SPEAKER_1: There's, like, noted liberal shit show, Modern Family, did not have the two gay husbands kiss on screen until, like, at least they don't in season one.
SPEAKER_1: I think it's more, like, season three.
SPEAKER_1: I think it's, like, season three where they actually kiss.
SPEAKER_1: And that's, like, and that is just, like, you know, that is, that was the state of media in queer rep.
SPEAKER_1: It does save the world in a way.
SPEAKER_1: And it's obviously not all saving the world.
SPEAKER_1: You know, it's not the whole thing.
SPEAKER_3: But I don't know, it's good.
SPEAKER_1: I like in, I like in stories when that happens.
SPEAKER_1: Make your stories have a world saving gay kiss.
SPEAKER_1: How could we have, like, gay kisses that could just, like, eliminate Nazis?
SPEAKER_1: And, like, are there gay kisses that can stop climate change and destroy capitalism?
SPEAKER_1: How would we make it, how do you make a gay kiss so powerful it ends capitalism?
SPEAKER_2: I can't think of one other than, like, immediately going weird superpower realm where it's like, if these two women kiss, an EMP shock will go out wherever they are.
SPEAKER_2: And this is how you just, like, you, it's like, babe, please, I need a kiss.
SPEAKER_2: We need to get past the guards.
SPEAKER_1: God, I thought you were going to be like an EMP blast that, like, knocks out all, like, technology and electronic shit, like, all over the world, which would be a nightmare.
SPEAKER_1: And we just end up with primitivism.
SPEAKER_1: What if two girls kiss in the middle of the stock market and it just, if this was a piece of media, that's where the supercomputer is that makes capitalism happen.
SPEAKER_1: And so they kiss and the supercomputer is destroyed and there's no more capitalism.
SPEAKER_2: So I just completed a series called The Broken Earth Trilogy by NK.
SPEAKER_2: Jemisin.
SPEAKER_2: And basically it has what are essentially like Earth slash magic benders.
SPEAKER_2: And I just like the concept of like gay bending kiss makes the Avatar state.
SPEAKER_2: In order to get into the Avatar state, Korra has to kiss Asami.
SPEAKER_2: I've made Korra better.
SPEAKER_1: You're welcome.
SPEAKER_1: Can you fucking imagine if that's what we got?
SPEAKER_1: Imagine if taking down Kuvira in season four took fucking Korra kissing Asami at a perfect moment and activating the Avatar state.
SPEAKER_2: Shit.
SPEAKER_2: That would have been so much better.
SPEAKER_2: I'm mad now.
SPEAKER_2: I'm mad because we could have had it.
SPEAKER_2: If Korra had come out 10 years later, we could have had a lot of other problems also fixed.
SPEAKER_2: But specifically that one problem also.
SPEAKER_1: Clair, what I would not get...
SPEAKER_1: Do you know how much I would give to see Korra be good?
SPEAKER_1: Do you know how much I would give to have all of Korra's villains not be just like three various types of leftists and then a fucking fascist?
SPEAKER_1: Like, and the fascist be more sympathetically portrayed?
SPEAKER_1: There's so much I want to fix.
SPEAKER_1: Remember when in season three the Anarchists killed the fucking evil ass Earth Queen and it's framed as a bad thing?
SPEAKER_2: I was so excited.
SPEAKER_2: So when I rewatched that episode, I was like, fuck yeah, they rule, hell yeah.
SPEAKER_2: And the very next episode, they like torture some villagers or some shit.
SPEAKER_2: Or like they just do something that is inexplicably evil.
SPEAKER_2: And it's like, why?
SPEAKER_2: They went out of their way not to kill anyone in the...
SPEAKER_2: It's not like they like went Fire Nation style and like rammed the front door.
SPEAKER_2: No, no, no, no.
SPEAKER_2: They didn't kill anybody but the Queen.
SPEAKER_2: They went out of their way.
SPEAKER_2: Anyways, yeah, we're not a Korra podcast.
SPEAKER_2: But I just think Korrasami Kiss to Save the World was a missed opportunity.
SPEAKER_2: Absolutely.
SPEAKER_1: Other series I would want to see a gay kiss to save the world is Star Wars.
SPEAKER_1: Thank you, please give me gay kiss in Star Wars that's between two named characters.
SPEAKER_1: But make it also, I don't know, save the world.
SPEAKER_1: That'd be cool.
SPEAKER_2: Really the only weakness of the Death Star was kissing on top of it.
SPEAKER_1: Then it explodes.
SPEAKER_1: Here's the thing, Luke still could have done that.
SPEAKER_2: Luke and Han kiss on top of the Death Star and it explodes.
SPEAKER_1: I need it.
SPEAKER_1: Where's my Luke Hanfic from 1980?
SPEAKER_1: Let's fucking do it.
SPEAKER_2: I mean, I'm only like half a season into Clone Wars, but they should give Ahsoka a girlfriend.
SPEAKER_1: I'm not going to say anything because you're correct.
SPEAKER_1: I can't.
SPEAKER_1: Yes, they should.
SPEAKER_1: They fucking should.
SPEAKER_1: They really shouldn't.
SPEAKER_1: I know exactly what the fucking names are of the girls who should be Ahsoka's girlfriends.
SPEAKER_1: Multiple.
SPEAKER_1: I'm talking multiple.
SPEAKER_2: Also, if you're in a podcast.
SPEAKER_2: Sorry.
SPEAKER_1: Tabletop.
SPEAKER_1: Sorry.
SPEAKER_2: I was going to say the thing you're going to say, which is if you're in any Tabletop, you can do that.
SPEAKER_2: You can have that happen.
SPEAKER_1: You can just do what I have.
SPEAKER_2: But what I also said is if you're on a podcast, save the world by having a podcast.
SPEAKER_2: Make the podcast kiss.
SPEAKER_1: Okay, two Tabletop podcast kiss and it saves the world.
SPEAKER_2: The Ship of Critical Role and the Adventure Zone, everyone's favorite couple.
SPEAKER_1: I'm going to kill you.
SPEAKER_2: Now, that's a power couple.
SPEAKER_2: The Critical Zone.
SPEAKER_2: I live in the Critical Zone and it's of those things.
SPEAKER_1: I bet the Critical Zone is also the name of a Tabletop podcast.
SPEAKER_1: Like, that's a fucking D&D podcast.
SPEAKER_1: Sorry, I just had the thought of like Super Hoolock for Tabletop podcasts.
SPEAKER_1: And I just needed to share the worst thought.
SPEAKER_1: What are the three?
SPEAKER_1: It would be like, what, if we're talking Super Hoolock, then that's Critical Role, The Adventure Zone.
SPEAKER_1: I don't know what the third biggest Tabletop podcast is.
SPEAKER_2: I wish it was Friends of the Table, but also I don't wish it was Friends of the Table.
SPEAKER_1: But it's definitely not.
SPEAKER_1: That's definitely not.
SPEAKER_1: No, there's like 15 D&D podcasts out there before you get to one non-D&D podcast.
SPEAKER_2: Right, good.
SPEAKER_2: Make D&D kiss any other Tabletop game.
SPEAKER_2: And watch it say, actually, it's two Tabletop games.
SPEAKER_1: Make two D&D games kiss and destroy D&D.
SPEAKER_2: That's how it goes.
SPEAKER_2: Do you want my craving?
SPEAKER_1: Well, yeah, of course I do.
SPEAKER_1: You know how it works here.
SPEAKER_3: We got four cravings.
SPEAKER_2: Why?
SPEAKER_1: I didn't get a chance to do my Mr.
SPEAKER_1: Colt voice today.
SPEAKER_2: Do you want to introduce my next craving in the Mr.
SPEAKER_2: Colt voice?
SPEAKER_1: Hey, Clair, what are you craving over there?
SPEAKER_2: I feel like you kind of broke Brooklyn for a second.
SPEAKER_1: I did break a little Brooklyn, but it's all right.
SPEAKER_1: We're living with it.
SPEAKER_2: My next craving, the last craving in the podcast, is that I've been playing an ongoing cyberpunk game for a while now set in a game of the sprawl run by a lovely friend of mine.
SPEAKER_2: And so we have been playing in this for a few sessions.
SPEAKER_2: And cyberpunk as a genre is kind of and I've talked about this with them.
SPEAKER_2: It kind of sucks because cyberpunk was really a look at current culture in the 80s or 70s.
SPEAKER_2: I forget when really it was like a big thing.
SPEAKER_2: And it was like, ah, here's the logical conclusion of like the systems that are in place now.
SPEAKER_2: And this is sort of what we're hurdling towards.
SPEAKER_2: And then fast forward four years and I look at cyberpunk and I'm like, that's actually better than what we have now.
SPEAKER_2: Oh, people have access to mods.
SPEAKER_2: Normal people are able to get entire body modifications.
SPEAKER_2: That's awesome.
SPEAKER_2: People are able to afford that.
SPEAKER_2: Awesome.
SPEAKER_2: That's fantastic.
SPEAKER_2: Instead, we are now worse than cyberpunk.
SPEAKER_2: We live in a reality that is worse than cyberpunk.
SPEAKER_2: This is why we have to make a game called Cyberpunk 2077, which is not cyberpunk to be clear, but also we are living in cyberpunk 2020.
SPEAKER_2: Anyways, my craving, that's not even the craving, my craving is solarpunk.
SPEAKER_1: Okay, let's talk about solarpunk.
SPEAKER_2: If you go to the Wikipedia, so the dictionary definition of solarpunk is basically empty.
SPEAKER_2: The Wikipedia page is non-existent almost because it's just it's not an explored space as much as it should be.
SPEAKER_2: It's definitely explored.
SPEAKER_2: Don't get me wrong.
SPEAKER_2: But like there isn't as much media about it as I would love.
SPEAKER_2: And so solarpunk is an art movement that envisions how the future might look if humanity succeeded in solving major contemporary challenges with an emphasis on sustainability problems such as climate change and pollution.
SPEAKER_2: This is like the opposite of cyberpunk.
SPEAKER_2: This is like we did it.
SPEAKER_2: We succeeded.
SPEAKER_2: It's optimistic.
SPEAKER_2: And the reason that I want more of this is because culture influences media, which influences culture.
SPEAKER_2: And if we started producing media that did this, and maybe this is maybe this is a little too optimistic of me, I feel like it would influence a lot of good ideas.
SPEAKER_2: We have touchscreens now because of like things like Star Trek.
SPEAKER_2: Media has influenced our culture, has influenced our innovations.
SPEAKER_2: So I want more solar punk.
SPEAKER_2: Dune apparently is one of the most known examples of solar punk.
SPEAKER_2: There's also solar punk, ecological and fantastical stories in a sustainable world.
SPEAKER_2: And Sun Vault, stories of solar punk and eco speculation.
SPEAKER_2: But this is the thing, two of those titles were so wordy.
SPEAKER_2: We clearly need more solar punk if those are the three most known solar punk books.
SPEAKER_1: I mean, this is, I think, a thing that most sci-fi is engaging with is what does a future look like that doesn't involve us destroying ourselves from climate change.
SPEAKER_1: I think when I tend to envision sci-fi worlds and I have some worlds that I've created, the kind of core facet and feeling and thing that I think about is the truly horrifying idea.
SPEAKER_1: What if we found a way to survive climate change and it didn't disrupt capitalism?
SPEAKER_1: What if we found a way that capitalism would survive, but we addressed climate change?
SPEAKER_2: You mean like the train show?
SPEAKER_2: Not Polar Express, Jesus.
SPEAKER_2: You know the one where everybody lives on a train because the world is just a frozen ball at this point?
SPEAKER_1: That's not Polar Express.
SPEAKER_1: I know it's not Polar Express, but I was trying to think of that movie and my brain just kept going Polar Express.
SPEAKER_1: Snowpiercer.
SPEAKER_2: Thank you, it's Snowpiercer.
SPEAKER_2: Yes, that's the one I was thinking.
SPEAKER_1: Snowpiercer is an example.
SPEAKER_1: Yeah, my pet world that is that is the one that I probably, I don't know if I've ever mentioned it here before, but it's one where it's like a bunch of we went out and we solved it and then we went out into space and corporations started colonizing space.
SPEAKER_2: So like Cowboy Bebop is like an example.
SPEAKER_1: Cowboy Bebop and then magic is discovered and it's a whole new kind of technological paradigm.
SPEAKER_2: It's like an imagination of how colonialism continues to exist under like new environments, either like fantasy or sci-fi, etc.
SPEAKER_1: We would be remiss, I think, to not mention the like the large scale metro plan that is being drawn up now and taken somewhat seriously.
SPEAKER_1: The high speed rail across the US plan that got popularized by Gen Z on TikTok.
SPEAKER_2: Oh, I haven't heard of this.
SPEAKER_1: Basically, the idea and this has been a conversation in certain leftist spaces for a while.
SPEAKER_1: What if we had high speed rail that went between all the major cities in the US?
SPEAKER_1: The discussion there was like, oh, that would be great for the environment.
SPEAKER_1: And then it was people going, hang on, not our land.
SPEAKER_1: We can't make those calls.
SPEAKER_1: And we're seeing kind of that play out now is like, you know, at the very least, the kind of Biden government has drawn up a proposed map of if they did it, here's what it would look like.
SPEAKER_1: And it goes through five reservations.
SPEAKER_1: My god.
SPEAKER_1: That is the fucking thing.
SPEAKER_1: That is, to me, these are like bad solar punk, I guess.
SPEAKER_1: I've immediately made dystopian solar punk.
SPEAKER_2: Also, like another thing with train systems, and I don't want this to become a train podcast, but it does center urban living versus rural living.
SPEAKER_2: I think I saw one of the maps.
SPEAKER_2: I had no context for it.
SPEAKER_2: But now that I have context, I think I know what the map was.
SPEAKER_2: It was just skipping one of the whole states.
SPEAKER_2: Like there was just a state on the map that just like did not have a line running through it, which I'm assuming was a train line.
SPEAKER_2: What about the people who live there?
SPEAKER_2: And I get that the answer is like, ha ha ha, they're the five people and 20 sheep that live there.
SPEAKER_2: But it's like, OK, so they don't get access to infrastructure, access to infrastructure centers, cities, which cities are are a like byproduct of colonial capitalism.
SPEAKER_1: I mean, even just knowing European history, I think like specifically, I know English history.
SPEAKER_1: London has been a city for hundreds and hundreds of years.
SPEAKER_1: And in basically any era, it looks different from the last era.
SPEAKER_2: Right.
SPEAKER_2: Sorry, I should say modern cities.
SPEAKER_1: But my point is, is like, you're always going to have, I suspect this is the case.
SPEAKER_1: As long as there are people, as we know of people at this point, you will probably always have a mix of urban and rural spaces.
SPEAKER_1: And you need infrastructure and ways of being and livelihoods that take into account both.
SPEAKER_1: If we're talking about Earth and we're talking about our specific land, none of this is stuff for us to determine.
SPEAKER_1: You know, as far as I am aware, there have always been higher density and lower density areas.
SPEAKER_1: They didn't always look like cities, especially not on this continent.
SPEAKER_1: If you're thinking about solar punk, you know, I think my thing that immediately comes to mind for me is like, you can't just think of the like shining, beautiful city scape with no pollution and all electric vehicles.
SPEAKER_2: Grass growing on the buildings and whatnot.
SPEAKER_2: Right.
SPEAKER_1: And you can't think about exclusively that.
SPEAKER_1: And you also can't think about the exclusively like we live in a small community run only by like wind farms.
SPEAKER_1: And it's a commune and maybe a cult, but it's give me the story about the wind farm cult.
SPEAKER_2: I want that.
SPEAKER_2: That sounds great.
SPEAKER_1: Oh, man, that sounds fantastic.
SPEAKER_1: Solar punk is a really interesting space to explore.
SPEAKER_1: If anyone has any like recommendations for pieces of fiction that fall into like indigenous led solar punk or something adjacent to that, that is about like what indigenous futures can look like.
SPEAKER_1: I've definitely seen some alternate universes.
SPEAKER_1: There was a like a game that just finished on Kickstarter.
SPEAKER_1: It made a lot of money called Coyote and Crow about like an alternate universe in which the you know, this land was ever colonized and instead indigenous people were experienced these weird like this weird thing called the gift.
SPEAKER_1: And then later on discovered that they gave them special powers and stuff like that.
SPEAKER_2: Wow, this got a million dollars on an $18,000 pledge.
SPEAKER_1: Yeah.
SPEAKER_2: This looks super good.
SPEAKER_1: Because it looks like because the concept is killer and it looks great.
SPEAKER_1: I'm excited for that to come out.
SPEAKER_1: But if we're talking about like how do we get from here to a better future in which climate change is addressed and some of the like modern issues are addressed, it needs to be obviously indigenous led.
SPEAKER_2: Yeah.
SPEAKER_1: I would love to know if there are folks, particularly indigenous folks who are writing in that space.
SPEAKER_2: Or anyone who knows of indigenous folks who are writing in that space.
SPEAKER_2: I guess that's what you're asking.
SPEAKER_2: You're only addressing the indigenous listeners.
SPEAKER_2: You're the only people who are currently writing a solar punk book.
SPEAKER_2: In order to answer us, you must be writing a solar punk book and you must be indigenous to the land you are currently living on.
SPEAKER_2: This has been Salt Cravings.
SPEAKER_2: And do we just have to be sloppy on our outro?
SPEAKER_2: I feel like we've just sort of mirrored.
SPEAKER_1: I think on our outro, you need to tell me what your intro was going to be.
SPEAKER_2: I was just going to use it next time.
SPEAKER_3: Really?
SPEAKER_3: Clair, we have...
SPEAKER_2: I have one more.
SPEAKER_1: You've got one more.
SPEAKER_1: You're going to use the same fucking intro?
SPEAKER_1: It's not the same intro.
SPEAKER_2: It's a clean take on the good intro.
SPEAKER_1: All right.
SPEAKER_1: Listen, I can't tell you what intro today.
SPEAKER_2: This has been Salt Cravings.
SPEAKER_2: Thanks for listening.
SPEAKER_2: Fuck, we never say this, but in the last few episodes, I guess, my name is Clair.
SPEAKER_2: You can follow me at ClaireSkiesAhead on Twitter.
SPEAKER_1: Hi, and my name is Brianna, and you can follow me at PriceOfBri on Twitter, where I'm currently taking a break, but we'll be back probably.
SPEAKER_2: Don't come back.
SPEAKER_2: It's okay.
SPEAKER_2: It's actually better if you don't.
SPEAKER_1: I'm probably going to come back.
SPEAKER_2: Okay, that's fair.
SPEAKER_1: I got too many good tweets.
SPEAKER_2: Too much good content to give the world.

SPEAKER_2: Good night.
SPEAKER_2: Good night, evenings and gentle babes.
SPEAKER_2: I'm just doing bad takes.
SPEAKER_2: It's the bad take out throw.
SPEAKER_1: We're doing, okay, bad take out throw everyone.
SPEAKER_3: All right, the 80s and 50s.
SPEAKER_2: The fuck, what does 10 years look like?
SPEAKER_2: What is 10 years to an empire?
SPEAKER_1: Sometimes 10 years is nothing to an empire, sometimes it is very important to that empire.
SPEAKER_2: Look, we're just starting the third perfect millennium of our glorious empire.
SPEAKER_2: We're only 20 years into it.
SPEAKER_1: I can't, we're not partisan cravings, we can't be.
SPEAKER_2: Brianna, I have some bad news about the rest of the show we've done.
SPEAKER_1: The salt principality.
SPEAKER_2: We could have made them look like anything, but we made them look like trans.
