00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:10,879
Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to favor production of I Heart Radio.

2
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:13,520
Speaker 1: I'm Annie Reese and I'm Lauren Vogel bam, and today

3
00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:17,040
Speaker 1: we have a classic episode for you about Hitchhiker's Guide

4
00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:21,560
Speaker 1: to the Galaxy and the fictional foods they're in. Yes, oh,

5
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:24,280
Speaker 1: these fictional food ones. They're some of our favorites. They

6
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:27,880
Speaker 1: are so fun to do, they really are. I UM,

7
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 1: it helps that like I don't know, like I'm I

8
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 1: was an English major and so I kind of missed

9
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:38,280
Speaker 1: discussing literature, um uh and and other creative works, um

10
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:41,479
Speaker 1: in some kind of I'm not sure if we're discussing

11
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:46,160
Speaker 1: them in a strictly critical way. Um, but we're discussing them.

12
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:48,959
Speaker 1: We are discussing them, and we have we often have

13
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 1: anecdotes and opinions and thoughts. Yeah, maybe what's the deeper

14
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 1: meaning of something or what it's what's it's trying to communicate.

15
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 1: In this case, forty two always, always, always was the

16
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 1: forty second anniversary of the publishing I believe of the Oh,

17
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 1: it could be the radio thing. I already closed the tab.

18
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:21,319
Speaker 1: I'm not no one will ever know. That's very Hitchhiker's

19
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:28,319
Speaker 1: Guide to the Galaxy. For you. Yeah, that's it, that's it.

20
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:31,759
Speaker 1: The time is past. Um, But we did. We did

21
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 1: this episode originally in August of twenty eighteen. Yes, wow, huh. Well,

22
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 1: and it came up recently in our Instant Coffee episode,

23
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 1: didn't it. Yes, that is why I was thinking of

24
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 1: it that end. Like I was like, it started time

25
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 1: for another fictional foods episode, but I'm not ready to

26
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 1: record a new one. Uh. And Douglas Adams is just

27
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 1: a delightful human person, and so I was like, let's

28
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 1: let's bring it back. Yes, And a lot of you listeners,

29
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 1: a lot of you, all of you, all of you

30
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 1: are delightful human people as well. Um, some of you.

31
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 1: I cannot wait to share the listener mail we got

32
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 1: about Instant Coffee. We've got a lot and a lot

33
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,639
Speaker 1: of them are fictional, like food related. So people did

34
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 1: write in about this. People wrote in about Dune uh,

35
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 1: And people wrote in about Seinfeld and I missed reference

36
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 1: that I can't believe I missed. I can't. I know,

37
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 1: I'm falling down. What's going on with me? Uh? And

38
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:44,800
Speaker 1: also after we did this episode, a kind listener Tom

39
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 1: Tomby Frequent Listener Frequent Responders messages since as the Ultimate

40
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 1: Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. These books along with a

41
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 1: very nice note because we mentioned in there, um that

42
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 1: we I didn't have it and about but both of

43
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 1: us had lost our copies. I very strangely like like

44
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 1: like Tom, like you sent the books and then I

45
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:11,640
Speaker 1: found my copy and I was like it was just

46
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 1: it was just right there. It was I don't know,

47
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 1: there was some kind of there's some kind of like

48
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 1: a situation. Yeah, it was shielded by like a somebody

49
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 1: else's problem shield or something something like that. Um, but

50
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 1: someone else's problem. I don't remember the exact phrasing from

51
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:31,919
Speaker 1: the book anyway. Um. Yes, thank you so much though

52
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 1: for sending books. And I believe I was able to

53
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 1: pass on a copy to a friend who also did

54
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 1: not have one. And so wow, books are great, y'all.

55
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 1: I like them. They are great. They are great. That's

56
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 1: another one of the reasons we like we like these.

57
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 1: I like the excuse to look back at these fun

58
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 1: entertainment properties. Yes, and it had been a minute sinside

59
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 1: read the hit Checker's guy at Theolex. So this is exciting.

60
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 1: This is exciting. Yes, um, and I suppose, without further

61
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 1: ado we will let past Annie and Lauren take it away. Hello,

62
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 1: and welcome to food Stuff. I'm Anyes and I'm Lauren

63
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 1: vocal Baum and Odd's time for another fictional foods episode.

64
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:30,599
Speaker 1: Yeah it's been a minute, but we are here today

65
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 1: to talk about fictional foods. Hitchhiker's Guy to the Galaxy Edition. Yes, yeah,

66
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 1: I believe I am a fan, and I believe Lauren

67
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:41,480
Speaker 1: that you are a fan as well. I am very

68
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:43,920
Speaker 1: much a fan. It was one of those I got

69
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,160
Speaker 1: a hold of a copy of I think the whole trilogy,

70
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 1: which is five books, um in early high school, and

71
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 1: it was one of those revolutionary things for me, Like

72
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: it was just total paradigm shift. I was like, oh, oh,

73
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,840
Speaker 1: so good. I think I had the same copy and

74
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 1: I let someone borrow it. If you're listening, I want

75
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 1: it back. I can't remember who you are, but I

76
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 1: will find you. I lost my copy as I was,

77
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 1: because I meant to reread at least the first book

78
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:20,599
Speaker 1: when I was when when when we decided to do

79
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:26,159
Speaker 1: this episode, and I it's it's not there. It's probably

80
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:32,279
Speaker 1: the same person. That person just collecting coffees on top

81
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 1: of coffees for what purpose we don't know. Well, one

82
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 1: day we'll figure it out. But I wanted to start

83
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,480
Speaker 1: with my favorite quote, which I do remember. I think

84
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:45,279
Speaker 1: it's from the restaurant at the end of the Universe.

85
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,840
Speaker 1: He's spending a year dead for tax reasons. I just

86
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 1: remember that because I like read that and I was

87
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 1: what eleven So I don't know anything about taxes. I

88
00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 1: didn't have to pay taxes, but for some reason, it's

89
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 1: as my mom said, overturned my ticklebox. And I just

90
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 1: kept laughing and laughing and laughing. It's such a really,

91
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 1: it's a really clear memory for me, apparently. Yeah. Yeah,

92
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 1: And we have mentioned Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy before

93
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 1: in a couple of past episodes like Gin and Tonic

94
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 1: to mind. Yeah, and as per the used with these

95
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:31,720
Speaker 1: fictional food episodes. Thanks to Wikia fandom. So helpful, so helpful.

96
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:36,479
Speaker 1: Oh yes, yes, hats off to you all, brave, brave

97
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 1: soldiers a fandom. Yes, we appreciate your efforts. So what

98
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:48,360
Speaker 1: is it? The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is a

99
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:53,159
Speaker 1: comedic media series almost entirely written by Earth human Douglas Adams.

100
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 1: It started as a BBC radio show in nine and

101
00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 1: was adapted into A wild a popular series of novels,

102
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 1: plus stage shows, video games, a television series in one,

103
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:07,840
Speaker 1: a feature film in two thousand five, and more other

104
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 1: radio shows. That's a lot it is. Douglas Noel Adams

105
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 1: was a writer who was rather famous for not writing, UM,

106
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 1: I love deadlines, he wrote, I like the whooshing sound

107
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 1: they make as they fly by. He was born in Cambridge, England,

108
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 1: in nineteen fifty two. His uh father, a teacher, and

109
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 1: his mother, a nurse, divorced when he was five. He

110
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 1: was a fan of Monty Python and he decided to

111
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 1: try to get into writing comedy. Took a whole lot

112
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 1: of odd jobs while he was doing it, and Uh

113
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 1: The Hiker's Guide radio show was an unexpectedly resounding hit

114
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:48,559
Speaker 1: that moved him into writing full time. The novels almost

115
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 1: didn't happen because the BBC was like, oh, novel adaptations

116
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 1: of radio series never worked, let's not even try that.

117
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 1: But happened. They did. Also all of those other things,

118
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 1: And although Adams would struggle with depression and writer's block

119
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 1: and and kind of the weight of that early success,

120
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 1: he'd go on to to do work work in writing

121
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 1: that helped protect endangered species. He married, he had a daughter,

122
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 1: He's had a ridiculous collection of electric guitars, um and

123
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 1: he would die suddenly in two thousand one when he

124
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 1: was just forty nine UM. And every year on fans

125
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 1: and friends celebrate his strange life and legacy with Towel

126
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 1: Day day on which to openly carry a towel with you, because,

127
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 1: as The Hitchhiker's Guide taught us, a towel is one

128
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 1: of the most useful objects in the universe and you

129
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 1: should never go anywhere with that one. I actually have.

130
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 1: It's a yellow one, and it's one of those ones

131
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 1: that gets like super small and it is really absorbant

132
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 1: and tries really quickly, you know, just in case it's good.

133
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:56,839
Speaker 1: It's you know, he could be a food. Who really

134
00:08:56,840 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 1: knows where your towel? Is this true? Uh? If if

135
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 1: you have rather no idea what we're talking about, And

136
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 1: I'm I'm so sorry if I drop more britishisms than

137
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 1: usual into this particular episode. It's thinking about it is

138
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 1: my brain in a very English place right now. The

139
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:17,200
Speaker 1: eponymous Hitchhiker's Guide is this a galactic travel guide and

140
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 1: the media series are about the Adventures or misadventures of

141
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 1: another Earth human by the name of Arthur Dent traveling galactically. Uh.

142
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:29,440
Speaker 1: And despite this, the series are way more about the

143
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 1: hilariously mundane things in life than they are about science

144
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 1: fiction a things. Uh. Adams actually said that he never

145
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 1: intended the series to be science fiction, but that he

146
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:42,440
Speaker 1: blew up the Earth in the first episode spoiler alert,

147
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 1: and he sort of had to. Yeah, it's sort of

148
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:52,559
Speaker 1: difficult not to go elsewhere if the planet no longer exists. Yes.

149
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 1: Uh So. One of those hilariously mundane things about life,

150
00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 1: the universe and everything is food and inc So there's

151
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:04,079
Speaker 1: a lot of that in the series. Um. A lot

152
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 1: of the series are actually just about Arthur trying and

153
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 1: failing to get a decent cup of tea. Yeah, which

154
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 1: we talked about a little bit in our episode. Yeah. Yeah,

155
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,840
Speaker 1: And I have I have a have a quote for you.

156
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,080
Speaker 1: Stop me at any time. I'll just go on forever

157
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:23,840
Speaker 1: on the the first spaceship that that Arthur I guess

158
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 1: it's the second spaceship, isn't it that Arthur winds up

159
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 1: on I know how dare I? Um? It says he

160
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 1: had found a new traumatic machine which had provided him

161
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 1: with a plastic cup filled with liquid that was almost

162
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:41,200
Speaker 1: but not quite entirely unlike tea. The way it functioned

163
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:43,440
Speaker 1: was very interesting. When the drink button was pressed, it

164
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:46,320
Speaker 1: made an instant but highly detailed examination of the subjects

165
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 1: taste buds, a spectroscopic analysis of the subject's metabolism, and

166
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 1: then sent tiny experimental signals down the neural pathways to

167
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:56,199
Speaker 1: the taste centers of the subject's brain to see exactly

168
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 1: what was likely to go down. Well, however, no one

169
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 1: knew quite why did this, because it invariably delivered a

170
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,319
Speaker 1: cup full of liquid that was almost but not quite

171
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 1: entirely unlike tea. That's one of the things I love

172
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:12,960
Speaker 1: about um these books is that it it's there's all

173
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 1: these kind of high tech robot and it's trying to

174
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:22,959
Speaker 1: understand humans, and humans just don't make sense. Essentially, it's

175
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 1: a joke, like I've done all this math and calculations

176
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 1: but nothing is working, or just yeah, beings, like living

177
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 1: beings at their core, are completely nonsensical. Yeah yeah. Um

178
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 1: book menus dot com has a breakdown of the most

179
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 1: mentioned food and drinks, because there are, like teeth, a

180
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:48,559
Speaker 1: lot of things from Earth Show up in series A lot.

181
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 1: They're just usually viewed differently, and we will talk a

182
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 1: little bit about that more later. But te peanuts, corn flakes, McDonald's, hamburger,

183
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 1: jello Jonah, it's very important, custard, hot dogs, and rice pudding. Um,

184
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 1: and if you're interested, they have a lot more information

185
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:11,560
Speaker 1: following all of that. Take a very long time to

186
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:14,079
Speaker 1: go through, but more power to you if you want

187
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 1: to know. Oh, absolutely yes. So that's a basic overview.

188
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 1: We're gonna pause for a quick break forward from our

189
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 1: sponsor and then get into some specifics and we're back.

190
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 1: Thank you sponsored. So we have two sections here, foods

191
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 1: and drinks, and we're gonna start with foods, and we're

192
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 1: going to start in that subsection vegan rhino a k a.

193
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 1: Evil smelling meat, and by vegan rhino, is it is

194
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:59,959
Speaker 1: it vegan? Is it? Nope? It's not what you're thinking.

195
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 1: Probably vegan here does not necessarily mean what it means

196
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 1: on Earth. It means from the alpha learious star system.

197
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 1: Oh like vega like vague vegan vegan not vegan. Yeah,

198
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:19,079
Speaker 1: I got it, it's so Joe. Speaking of meat, there

199
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 1: are also a perfectly normal beasts which happened to pass

200
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:25,600
Speaker 1: through this a particularly superstitious settlement on a planet called

201
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:29,559
Speaker 1: Amuela periodically. Um. When Arthur crash lands there and is

202
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 1: asked why the Almighty Bob sent him, Um, he sets

203
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 1: himself up as the Almighty Bob's sandwich maker. Oh important job,

204
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 1: yeah yeah um, and his primary ingredient for these sandwiches

205
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 1: is perfectly normal beast. For upon l Ammuela, every aspect

206
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 1: of making the humble sandwich has been developed beyond the

207
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:52,360
Speaker 1: dreams of even the picnic food epicures on Thermous Magnus

208
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:59,840
Speaker 1: six mm hmm sounds good. Yeah. Sure. In the Restaurant

209
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,440
Speaker 1: The End of the Universe, which is a book about

210
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:08,959
Speaker 1: a fictional restaurant within that book, they serve scentiate and

211
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:13,960
Speaker 1: suicidal meat, self serving you see. Yeah, yeah, it's explained

212
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,320
Speaker 1: as being the most humane choice, you know, rather than

213
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 1: get tangled up in whether it's okay to eat regular

214
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 1: animals and plants which cannot consent um, someone bred a

215
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 1: type of cow that actively wants to be eaten. What

216
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 1: a life? Were good evening, Madame and gentlemen, I am

217
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 1: the main dish of the day. May I interest you

218
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 1: in parts of my body. Huh, well, something off my shoulder,

219
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 1: perhaps raised in a little white wine sash. There's the

220
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 1: Hagro biscuit, and this is a dntra se specialty, a

221
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 1: lower quality food stuff that they served to the Bogans,

222
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 1: whom they detested. The Tracy were known for having really

223
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 1: nice food, but they made pure crap for the Wogans.

224
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 1: So anyone expecting nice to trassy food but got something

225
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 1: they made with the Wogans in mind was going to

226
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 1: be disgusted and surprised. Um, and I'm not sure what

227
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 1: this is that the Internet will return a result of

228
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 1: a blue bread topped with guacamole. Well, that's what it

229
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 1: looks like. I have no idea what's actually going on.

230
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 1: It's a bright blue bread dot with something bright green

231
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 1: fill in as your imagine imagine agencies fit. Um. There's

232
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 1: star Bicks, which is a Cereal brand Algolean zilot burger,

233
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 1: which Zafa biebl Brocks described as quote a kind of

234
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 1: meat burger made with the most unpleasant parts of a

235
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 1: creature well known for its total lack of any pleasant

236
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 1: part that sounds appetizing. And as we mentioned earlier, earth food,

237
00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 1: Several earth foods show up throughout the sea aries, but

238
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 1: in different ways than we would expect. For instance, beer

239
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 1: is used as a muscle relaxant, although I would say

240
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 1: you could argue some of us use it that way absolutely.

241
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah. Peanuts are sort of protein supplement. Uh

242
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 1: and t tea can power alien and probability machines. Quote

243
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 1: the principle of generating small amounts of finite improbability by

244
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 1: simply hooking the logic circuits of a bimboolweeny fifties seven

245
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 1: submission brain to an atomic vector plotter suspended in a

246
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 1: strong Brawnian motion producer say a nice hot cup of tea, where,

247
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 1: of course well understood. Of course, when human Arthur Dent

248
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 1: confused computers by asking for tea, they asked him why,

249
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 1: and his response was it makes me happy. Oh yeah,

250
00:16:55,640 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 1: that's kind of nice, Poor Arthur. Yeah, poor Arthur. Coffee,

251
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 1: on the other hand, um and specifically stirring it has

252
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:09,119
Speaker 1: sort of a butterfly effect on bistro mathematics. Yes, bistro

253
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:13,439
Speaker 1: mathematics is an understanding of numbers that accepts that numbers

254
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 1: are not absolute but dependent on the movement of the

255
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 1: observer in restaurants, Yes, uh, quote just as Einstein observed

256
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:25,720
Speaker 1: that time was not an absolute but depended on the

257
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:28,399
Speaker 1: observer's movement in space, and that space was not an

258
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:31,480
Speaker 1: absolute but dependent on the observer's movement in time. It

259
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:34,680
Speaker 1: is now realized that numbers are not absolute but dependent

260
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 1: on the observer's movement. In restaurants, yeah I love this,

261
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 1: uh so yeah so so, like the number of people

262
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:46,280
Speaker 1: a table is reserved for versus the number of people

263
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 1: who wind up eating, um, and the time that the

264
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:51,960
Speaker 1: party is supposed to arrive versus when they actually do,

265
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:57,240
Speaker 1: and the build amount versus how much anyone who's showed

266
00:17:57,320 --> 00:17:59,399
Speaker 1: up is prepared to pay, and whether or not they

267
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 1: have money with them, um. The work of calculating all

268
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 1: of these non absolute numbers can can allow you to

269
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 1: manipulate the very fabric of reality. Is what's going on

270
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:12,880
Speaker 1: in bastro mathematics. There's a ship that has a beast

271
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:17,120
Speaker 1: mathematics engine. The engine is made up of a robotic restaurant.

272
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 1: The servers and all the all the bits and pieces

273
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 1: are all robotic, and uh it's what it's doing is

274
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:29,679
Speaker 1: actively calculating all of these numbers, these these non absolute numbers,

275
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 1: these numbers, some of which are a rest of private exclusions,

276
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:38,480
Speaker 1: which are numbers whose existence can only be defined as

277
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:44,400
Speaker 1: being anything other than themselves, like time of arrival exactly.

278
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 1: That's my favorite one. So uh so so yeah, so yeah,

279
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:53,359
Speaker 1: I'm trying trying to to to solve these equations. Can

280
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:56,320
Speaker 1: get can get you far? I think, isn't it like

281
00:18:56,600 --> 00:19:02,160
Speaker 1: the most powerful something of parasie It's it's very powerful.

282
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 1: It is it is and it's and it's a little

283
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 1: bit less sticky than improbability, uh, mathematics, which is what

284
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 1: drives another engine involved in the series. There's a lot

285
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:20,159
Speaker 1: of engines driven around there, absolutely, So that's ah the

286
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 1: food overlook. But really we got to talk about some drinks, yes, yes, okay,

287
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:31,639
Speaker 1: First we're gonna fause for a quick break for a

288
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:45,480
Speaker 1: word from our sponsor, and we're back. Thank you sponsor, Yes,

289
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 1: thank you. Alright, So the first thing we have to

290
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:53,920
Speaker 1: talk about is Jenks spirit at old Jenks Spirit. Yes,

291
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:58,119
Speaker 1: I think that has is what it's more usually called um,

292
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:01,920
Speaker 1: And this is a spirit. Yeah, people drink it for

293
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:05,720
Speaker 1: the same multitude of reasons we do. But it's way

294
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:11,359
Speaker 1: stronger than most of the stuff we Earthlings are familiar with.

295
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 1: And there are several interesting drinking games involving jank spirit,

296
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 1: mostly played in hyperspace sports in the Orion Beta star system.

297
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:25,399
Speaker 1: Here are the rules of one of them. Two people

298
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:28,679
Speaker 1: sit across from each other at a table, glass placed

299
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 1: in front of both in a bottle of jank spirit

300
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:34,680
Speaker 1: in the center of the table, and then both contestants

301
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:40,719
Speaker 1: maybe fools, would sort of use the force they had

302
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 1: telepsychic powers and attempt to tip the bottle so that

303
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 1: it would pour some of the spirit into the glass

304
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 1: of their opponent, who would then have to check it

305
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:55,639
Speaker 1: rent and repeat, bottle after bottle. Yeah, sort of like

306
00:20:55,800 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 1: beer pong or burea burea kart, but worse um a lossment.

307
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:04,480
Speaker 1: You'd probably keep losing because the alcohol, I mean it

308
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 1: messes with a lot of things, but it also messes

309
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 1: with the telepsychic powers. Yeah. Once whatever predetermined amount of

310
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:15,480
Speaker 1: jank spirit was consumed and a final winner emerged, the

311
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 1: loser had to perform a forfeit, which was typically an

312
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:25,359
Speaker 1: obscene biological thing. Old jank spirit has appeared in a

313
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 1: couple of Star Wars properties, including The Force Unleashed two

314
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:33,880
Speaker 1: novel and other things. And there's a drinking song. There

315
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:36,880
Speaker 1: is I've been debating all day whether I was gonna

316
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:39,959
Speaker 1: sing this or I was just gonna say it. Oh,

317
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:42,959
Speaker 1: don't give me none more of that old Jank spirit. Now,

318
00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 1: don't give me none more of that old Jank spirit,

319
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:48,480
Speaker 1: for my head will fly, my tongue will lie, my

320
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:51,640
Speaker 1: eyes will fry, and I may die. Won't you pour

322
00:21:56,800 --> 00:22:01,639
Speaker 1: rousing tune, I'm sure. And speaking of something else, you

323
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:06,720
Speaker 1: probably shouldn't drink pan galactic goggle blasters. These were invented

324
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 1: by the characters apod Um, and they are Jenks Spirit

325
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:13,840

00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 1: books when it comes to food or drink item quote.

327
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:21,600

Speaker 1: And it's like having your brain smashed out by a

00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:21,960
Speaker 1: slice of lemon wrapped around a large gold brick. Another

Speaker 1: description of its potency is as follows. After two of

Speaker 1: swearing he's the king of the gray binding fiefdoms of Saxoquin.

345
00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:41,920
Speaker 1: There's a lot of fun words in here. It's Inventor

Speaker 1: the book to rehabilitate yourself after having one one of these,

350
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,639
Speaker 1: and the TV show a drop of the liquid burned

351
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 1: a hole in the floor. But despite all of this,

352
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:13,960
Speaker 1: it carries the label the best drink in existence. You know,

353
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:20,440
Speaker 1: it's certainly something to remember if only you could. And so,

354
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:25,680
Speaker 1: of course, tantalized as as humans are by descriptions of

00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:29,359

359
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:46,760
Speaker 1: been any of these places, but I've delved into their

360
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 1: website or Wisconsin's forty two Lounge. Forty two. Yeah, yeah,

361

364
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:10,680
Speaker 1: weapons treatises, Treats and Weapons Treatise and laws of physics

365
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:17,399

Speaker 1: course there are real world recipes that you can find online.

367
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:24,920

368
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 1: One ounce are more of absence or pesties, which is

369
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:33,240
Speaker 1: sort of a nearer absente um. One ounce of brandy,

Speaker 1: four ounces chilled club soda, one teaspoon cardamom infused honey,

371
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:43,680
Speaker 1: various oddities to garnish, and then he has a recipe

372
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 1: on how to make the cardamon honey. So you know,

373
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:52,320

379
00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:17,240
Speaker 1: of course the gin Anthony, which I think is supposed

00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:22,840
Speaker 1: to be Gin and the Tan Knicks, the Gagracaca version

381
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:28,880
Speaker 1: of Gin and Tonics essentially only again way stronger. That's

382
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:32,120
Speaker 1: that's a theme in this, this whole thing. I've realized

383
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:35,200
Speaker 1: it's strong enough to kill a cow at one hundred paces.

384
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:41,240
Speaker 1: That's a serious That's a very serious drink. I mean,

393
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:16,400
Speaker 1: thing that I forgot to mention at the top, there

394
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:20,120
Speaker 1: is or there was a little bit of Hitchhiker's news.

395
00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:26,359
Speaker 1: As of early it was announced that Hulu was doing

396
