1:16
Bring back our night! Bring back our darkness!
1:23
Woahhh...is that
1:26
real?
1:27
Love that! You should
1:29
be a President, Fiona. Seriously. You’re a natural.
1:29
Ohhh President? Ooohhh Powerful!
1:33
She‘d ruin everything .
1:36
Hm . President of a very
1:38
tiny planet. Maybe. I'd
1:41
love that. I promise to do only
1:43
nice things, and obviously not to abuse my power
1:45
in any way or invade places or...do
1:47
anything....bad.
1:47
WHITE NOICE INTERFERENCE

2:28
Oh please shutup. Oh,
2:33
that was nice. Fiona’s amazing.
2:35
It Was. We should give her 5
2:38
billion stars for that performance.
2:40
Yes! Ahaha! review or rating.
2:43
Yes. Actually... Talking
2:45
of which, the lovely J Christian Ellett of
2:47
Good Pointe podcasts has written this truly
2:50
fun review of a , an imagined
2:53
trip to the moon....
2:54
Woo... Hoo . Let's hear it. I'll make us
2:56
some coffee. Strong. Weak,
2:58
or medium?
3:04
I’ll have mine as black as Newgate’s Knocker...
3:04
Right! Superb, and, and Oh
3:06
and and good luck with making coffee
3:08
in no gravity Tanja. (Laughs) Oh dear. I'll read
3:15
this one shall I? Ok. So. ’So over
3:19
the moon. One star‘. By J Christian Ellet of Good Pointe podcasts.
3:23
Narrator...Sarah Golding.
3:23
Now let
3:32
me be clear. I am 100%
3:35
not exaggeratin’ when I say that my trip
3:37
to the moon... Was the absolute worst experience
3:39
of my entire life! I mean...this whole
3:42
sheep show started....right.. When my
3:44
family and I first arrived at the Houston
3:46
launch terminal. Parking...
3:49
Is 100 credits a
3:52
day - A DAY?!? I mean that's over a grand for the trip!
3:54
I mean you should call yourself space pirates! Once inside,
3:59
we were subjected to - to all sorts of
4:01
lasers, and and beeping do dads
4:03
and whatnots..and ...and lines! Oh
4:06
so many never ending lines..! And
4:10
we, we finally got past security to
4:12
find out more great news.
4:15
We've been delayed for FOUR
4:16
HOURS! All Because
4:19
os a solar flare. A solar flare? Ridiculous! The
4:24
trip itself was for the most part, uneventful.
4:27
My daughter woke me up m id-flight complaining
4:30
that the wifi was nonfunctional, which
4:32
is weird... Because I remember paying
4:34
an extra 25 credits for
4:36
continuous wifi. If
4:39
I paid for a s ervice with ‘continuous’
4:41
in the name, I expect it t
4:43
o always be...available. My
4:46
daughter had planned to binge the
4:49
new season of Gilmore Girls, but, due to the collective incompetence of your entire
4:51
organization, she was forced to stare
4:53
blankly out the window for hours as
4:55
we approached the lunar surface
4:56
- boring! Once
5:00
we got to the resort - if you
5:03
can even... Call it that! We were informed
5:05
that our luggage had been ...’misplaced’.
5:08
How does that even happen?
5:11
All you have to do is get three suitcases
5:13
from earth... To the moon...without losing
5:16
them. And wh at w as, wh at's s o h ard about that? Hmm? It's
5:18
not like it 's - it’s rocket science! Then the
5:21
actual vacation begins, and, and we quickly
5:24
find out that there was ...nothing ...to
5:26
do... On the moon. So
5:29
...let me describe the
5:31
moon for you in in three words. Boring...
5:36
Boring ....and dumb! Interested
5:39
in local Lu na c uisine? It’s chicken
5:43
nuggets!! I d
5:45
i dn't come all the way to the moon to eat some ...chicken
5:47
nuggets....! The same ones I eat in my
5:49
car on my lunch break on earth. I mean, the
5:52
moon pies, however we' re at ha lf bad, but...if the best
5:55
endorsement you can get is ‘not half bad’, that
5:57
tells you everything you need to know about moon food, doesn’t it? And what‘s with...what’s with the
6:01
entire kitchen staff having moustaches? Is...is that some
6:05
sort of o f moon kitchen requirement
6:07
or uniform? Once you,
6:09
once you notice the consistency...it's um, well,
6:12
it's unsettling ...to ..to say the least.
6:14
See, the moon tourism ads all said
6:17
it was our ‘home away from
6:19
home’ or something like ‘experience
6:21
the romantic isolation of the moon!’
6:25
But guess what? There are sooo... Many
6:28
people here! Everywhere we
6:30
go, there's a...there's a long line of ugly
6:32
dumb tour ists ... and dogs! Ugh. So
6:35
many dogs . If you think dogs
6:37
howl AT the moon, you should hear
6:39
them howl when they're actually ON the
6:42
moon! My wife...she signed us up for the dark
6:45
side morning hike, but if you ask me, you should
6:47
call it the dark side, morning HYPE, because
6:50
I did n 't see what the big deal was....with the
6:52
v iew .....? It was hardly impressive! Other reviewers
6:56
on here said they'd had a ‘life changing
6:58
experience‘ which caused them to
7:00
- to re-evaluate their place in
7:02
the universe, but all I saw was
7:04
a - a cluster of stars and
7:06
l igh ts! And all I could think was, after
7:09
a four hour hike....this is
7:11
it!?? The stars...looked... Fake! Nothing
7:16
at all like the pictu res or v ideos I'd seen
7:18
online or on T V .! No, no.
7:20
M y trip to the moon was a
7:22
complete waste of time
7:25
and money. I was
7:27
really excited prior to my trip, but I
7:29
doubt I will ever go back. I
7:31
am so over the moon!
7:34
One ...star!
7:35
TRANSITION TO ROCKET SHIP
7:36
Oh , that was great. I
7:39
probably wouldn't want to go back either if
7:41
that was me. Just like... I won't
7:43
try to make coffee again in zero gravity.
7:46
Not very smart!
7:47
Hmm. Yeah probably best.
7:51
Yeah. I see you've got some all over your Spacesuit
7:53
and, d’ya know, it looks like you've made a map of
7:55
the ...the Hawaiian islands on your, y
7:58
our Amelia podcast t-shirt... Mahalo?!
8:00
Hmm..you could maybe
8:03
suck that out...you don't want to waste it. Oh Wait.
8:06
(Gasp) It’s Disappeared! How
8:09
on brand! So yeah,
8:11
um, One star. Hmm, Yeah.
8:14
That, that often means you've made it th ough, doesn't it?
8:16
In some people's eyes, doesn't it? You...You've
8:18
made enough of a splash for people to notice your
8:20
work at least.
8:21
Yeah.
8:22
Do you um...do you think anyone will
8:24
review our..our...live podcast?
8:26
I hope so. It's
8:28
the nice thing to do.
8:30
Hey d’yknow I've heard, I...have heard actually, that,
8:32
every time you DON’T leave a podcast
8:34
review, and you've listened to something a.... A
8:36
teeny tiny Creature you love dies in a...in a
8:39
horrible way.
8:40
Soooo folks should definitely
8:42
leave a review?
8:43
Definitely, definitely, yes. Yes. Save....Save The
8:46
teeny tiny creatures we love!
8:48
Probably just better to leave
8:50
an awesome review and save all the animals, Right?
8:52
Exactly...Talking of which... Here is one
8:56
of the monologues that sounded like it could be narrated
8:58
by Twinkletoes himself.
8:59
He really Sounds like Karim
9:01
Kronfli, huh?
9:01
Mm, Yeah. Well,
9:04
when... He’s playing a badass, yeah. It
9:06
doesn't make Twinkletoes there any less creepy . I mean,
9:08
did you hear Karim In ’Diary of
9:11
a mad man?
9:11
Freaky stuff!
9:13
Yeah. I mean.....this one, but
9:15
this one's about the folks that first went
9:17
there.... The... The pioneers. The
9:20
builders. Yeah . D’ya know,
9:22
I do think that one day we will colonize
9:24
that moon, wont we?
9:25
Yup!
9:25
Can you say that word with me? Colonize.
9:28
Colonize, yeahl
9:28
Yup!
9:28
Yeah. I like to
9:31
imagine there’s like, you know, hot tubs
9:33
and moon rocks and , and slip
9:35
and slides on the craters edge, and...moon bars! Ahhh I’d love that...
9:41
A holiday there and i n that
9:44
kind of environment, wouldn't you?
9:45
Yup! Cheers man.
9:47
Cheers.
9:50
Wow . What a view. What a
9:54
beautiful, beautiful view. I'm here..I
10:00
am...I’m here ...On the moon....on the
10:03
moon a s a ...a pioneer,
10:05
and I feel....I
10:14
...feel true silence - true....peace...making such
10:22
a . ...deafening noise in me.
10:26
I can hear my heart. I
10:29
can hear my...blood. Blood
10:34
is life. I,
10:39
I look around me at the ...nothing,
10:40
and, the weird
10:43
li ght a n d I am...raw. Scared.
10:49
A s c ared man . I
10:52
feel bare. Stark...
10:56
Like the moon-faced rocks. The actual moon
10:57
rocks I stand on. I
11:00
feel theIr cold core and they emit...
11:03
Nothing. I
11:05
stand. I think. I am. I
11:10
emit life. The
11:12
only life for thousands
11:14
of miles. I am here. Who
11:18
am I? I am ’Man On
11:20
the moon’. In the
11:22
moon? No. On. On
11:26
the moon. This...this
11:31
is what mom entous is . This.
11:36
This ..is my......This is
11:42
my, my pi
11:44
nnacle, my life’s... (Big sigh) I
11:53
feel ....raw, reborn. As
11:58
I hear my breath. As I taste my
12:00
spit. As I touch my fingers in
12:02
my gloves...I can see
12:04
our beautiful earth. Earth
12:07
can see the moon...but it
12:09
can't see me, not
12:11
me truly... Not
12:14
...scared me, in my named
12:16
Spacesuit and rugged dust fettered boots....clutching
12:20
sample bags and to ols, and wishing
12:22
I could take this damn helmet off. I
12:25
heard the Hostile Worlds podcast episode
12:27
as to what would happen if I took my helmet off. I...I
12:31
Don't want to do that. No. But
12:36
....if, Oh... If
12:39
I could breathe out into this ...moonscape...oh.
12:40
I am here...I
12:44
am! Because ...people....people
12:50
know I'm here, don't they? Yes.
12:54
People celebrate ...I am. People. People
12:59
are thinking of me..here, And... I'm
13:02
thinking of them over there... But
13:06
they know me. I
13:08
don't, I don't KNOW them.
13:13
It took a lot to get here. I was built on
13:16
that ...on what it took. Fitness, mental
13:19
health, agility, resilience,
13:21
problem solving, decision making, leadership.
13:25
I shoul d have been the leader - I felt
13:27
it. S tr ive. I strove.
13:31
Is that a word? No,
13:35
but I, I f
13:37
eel a - a strange pressure on
13:39
me - physically and
13:41
otherwise ...this momentl...this
13:46
...now this.... Right
13:48
now. I...The peace...
13:53
the ....still...it makes me...hear
13:57
my thoughts...my...inner ...thinking ...thoughts, cos.... I
14:05
could ...die here....I
14:08
could.... I could just
14:11
take my helmet off and.....but the
14:15
view ...the view....a few
14:20
others wanted my place to be here... were strong, and
14:22
fit, and agile enough, but..but
14:26
One by one, they fell away and
14:28
I...I’m here. By Right....
14:33
By hard work...by grit and
14:36
spit a nd, and by
14:38
wanting to ...to..to see
14:43
...this view...oh...hold it
14:49
forever in your mind's eye. I
14:51
can, (Laughs) I
14:54
can cover the whole of the earth with the
14:56
tip of my thumb...all of
14:59
humanity ...under me.
15:01
(Laughs) Just
15:05
snuff em out...out Of existence,
15:07
out of sight (Laughs)...out of...no.
15:13
I’m here... And you’re not. It feels like....death.
15:26
( Pause) What a privilege it is to , to
15:29
be one of the few to walk on the
15:31
moon before they send the tourists. To start a colony...to
15:36
be a pioneer. ‘Pioneers
15:40
for space package holidays for all‘ they said.
15:42
(Laughs) Beats working Bognor I
15:45
suppose... Though, I
15:47
do like to be beside
15:49
the sea side. I
15:53
looked at my footprints, here, now in
15:56
the moondust and I think ...wowwww. These
16:01
will be here long after I'm gone from
16:03
any planet's atmosphere. My mark...My...legacy in
16:08
a boot print. Builder of generations.
16:14
Can I stay here? Could
16:16
I? Can I
16:18
build a house for me and mine, with a
16:21
...porch, and a ...a swinging chair
16:23
and, and and...look
16:25
out into the dark void at our...peaceful earth
16:29
a nd maybe even a f ine shrubbery!
16:30
‘House on
16:33
the moon with shrubbery ....only
16:35
6.5 gazillion pounds
16:37
...comes with astronaut lodger Victor Smith! What
16:40
a guy! A pioneer!
16:41
I mean....it's
16:45
amazing to think ....what
16:47
man has dreamed of. What's
16:50
that? Something s
16:53
mashed from....woah! What IS
16:56
that looming? Just a glint, but but... C
17:00
oming closer. Closer.
17:03
Oh, some kind of comet....Or, n
17:06
o, a bunch of asteroids? Asteroids! Cripes
17:11
Ohl....they're coming quickly. Quick. What or where to go? Where to hide? Big rock....big rock ....shelter....
17:18
Here...Arg...Deb....ris...I CAN’T! I cant...no..dust and rock...and dust

SFX EXPLOSION.
17:39
(Heavy Breathing) And it's
17:51
over . It’s over. We
17:55
didn't get that in training . Up you get Victor. Up you get...but.... Oh

18:14
my suit ...no! Oh no. Okay...Okay....breathe...For a
18:28
moment...No time
18:31
to get back to the lander? Too big to mend. Oh..no time (Breathes deeply) Oh no...Oh no! ...Maybe.. Maybe
18:52
I'll just....maybe...I’ll just take
19:00
off my helmet and...Enjoy the
19:05
view....One ...last...time....just...take a seat and....(Deep breath. Resolute) I'm
19:18
h ere. Here
19:21
I am. Here
19:25
I am. What
19:27

19:38
voice) Hello World! I see you. I see you. (Pause) I....am...... Here. Here....I.......
20:03
Ooh...that was, that was
20:07
a bit sad.
20:09
Well...You wrote it?
20:09
Yeah. Yeah . It should
20:11
be a full season that, shouldn’t it really? Yeah, I wrote....I wrote one more n’all, um because you
20:17
know , when we can colonize the m-, colonize, colonize
20:20
the moon. Um, and
20:22
I do think we will, y’know...for one reason or
20:24
another, I mean it’d be the best writers
20:27
retreat ever...right? (Laughs) Let’s All go!
20:29
I mean, no, no, lawnmowers for a start...
20:32
Lots of dust...
20:34
On the moon. There’d be...external hoovers instead.
20:35
Ah man, you had to spoil it didn’t you?
20:35
Hooversssss.
20:35
Well, I ..I was just wondering what the , the
20:48
first people would've thought when they, when
20:51
they got there, you know.
20:52
...Will think?...
20:52
Yeah, and, and would
20:54
have felt.
20:55
...Will feel...
20:55
Yeah, and being new colonists,
20:58
colonists , colonists. Yeah. Moving, moving-in
21:01
day. I mean, we all love that right, but moving
21:03
house to a...a moon house. All
21:05
mod cons and that....on the

If I - do I just? Do I just stay
23:31
inside? Do I ..do I get under the table? What
23:32
...what stops
23:35
rays? Hm? Solar rays? Mmm. Sunglasses? Right...check...knew I’d beamed them
23:42
here. Ha! Dax, you were wrong. And here’s
23:47
the sunscreen. Ye
23:50
ah. Maybe. Maybe I'll just pop the sunscreen
23:52
all over me and go sit under the dining table.
23:54
I mean.. My goodness looks like
23:56
it co uld r epel anything that um , O
23:59
h, what’s it made of? Obsidian or something? Or
24:00
no. No way...that’s good old
24:06
fa shioned m oon rock. Painted.
24:09
Painted moonrock....that’s cute that. Yes. I mean...how long do these
24:14
alert things last? I mean, how
24:16
long could I last under a t a ble ...with
24:19
minimal rations? I mean, do I take
24:21
my Ki n dle, m y ho tbox, my pillow? I mean... Maybe
24:23
if I just shut all the curtains...or...or
24:24
oh! They’re
24:29
not curtains ..they’re...They're....they’re projections! Oh,
24:34
neat! Then
24:38
are the win dows projections too? Oh my
24:40
God! They are! It’s just a...just a
24:43
box. A box house on
24:45
the moon. These
24:49
moon colony hoses are s o c lose together.
24:52
Anyways, I guess if I shouted enough, I could get the attention
24:54
of m’ neighbour....but maybe,
24:57
maybe they've just moved into [inau dible]. May
24:59
be they don't know anything either. Maybe.
25:02
Maybe they' re just sayin g the same things. I am in the
25:04
books of a moon house and c
25:09
ool ed walls , moo
25:11
n rock walls. Yet
25:14
I 'm t ouc hing the moon. Oh
25:18
on e t hat I wi ll not be exciting for. Hmm.
25:23
Oh no. [inau
25:25
dible] well , I jus t know a so l a r flar
25:27
e Sidon , eve n though it said it was,
25:29
maybe it's like a, a b luff, a secret
25:31
signal that something else is happening. If wi
25:34
fe is a nuclear warhead headi
25:36
ng for the moon, imagine that.
25:38
Just go ou t h ere and a fte r four days of travel and as
25:40
ou r b lee ding wore on, I'll take
25:43
that more exac t , I
25:45
m ean, what about the goal? Pro
25:47
bably under the Dane in [ i na u dible], the
25:50
h ope ducks and the kids go in th e follo wing chip . Oka
25:52
y. Though such a new sense , we can all come
25:54
together. I mean, you never can book in a at o
25:57
n ce for these thin gs, yet c hea p cred it system.
25:59
I hus b a nd's law o n t he list in sc ho ol. Teachers
26:01
and n urs es. Crazy maybe
26:05
progr ess. Bye . We dreamed
26:07
of living on the moon and here we,
26:11
well I am so
26:13
far
26:15
[inaudible] in a box.
26:19
[inaudible]
26:20
student box might have called mineral.
26:23
Hmm . Maybe. Yeah . I will take a chance in
26:25
grants out of the window. The door.
26:28
I'll come . Can open the door. Kind of
26:30
that was real, right? What
26:32
is it? Oh yeah, death
26:36
plan . I , I
26:42
hope her family turned after that probably,
26:46
unless, Oh
26:54
, you have a brightness
26:56
and light, aren't you?
26:58
Oh my God. I've just thought are
27:00
we protected from solar flares in here?
27:02
I mean it's just a bunch of old junk.
27:05
Your jaws blanket. A few throws
27:07
our old kit . Hope God
27:10
are we getting radiation sickness could
27:13
not lose his hair. Who die?
27:17
Josh, you, what twinkle
27:19
ties means is eventually we
27:21
all do Tanya and yes,
27:24
yes. I guess we all get to adjust that to
27:27
more radiation out here than we would at your house.
27:29
Maybe a whole mine . But we want it to go to
27:31
the moon. So get to the moon. We shall.
27:36
That's um , let's turn out the booster rocket. Shall we
27:38
just get that a bit quicker?
27:40
Booster rockets. You
27:43
mean plugging the six toasters
27:45
stuck to the back of this VA tech
27:48
hodgepodge?
27:51
No , no, no, no, no,
27:54
no. We didn't bring the little mowers for speed.
27:57
No, no. We brought them to
28:01
[inaudible] so
28:03
we do that now too for voice actors
28:05
everywhere. Ready
28:07
? Three, two,
28:10
one. Ah
28:12
, last off . The noisy making.
28:15
Summer. Spring.
28:17
Yeah. You blow say
28:20
fight . Come on.
28:23
Blah blah blah
28:26
. I
28:31
have a lot of pent up aggression toward
28:33
the lawn .
28:35
The ones they've done as a favor. They should uh
28:37
, give us a bit of a boost in about four minutes.
28:41
I wonder if I can catch the toast
28:43
with this robot home thing. I'm
28:46
a bit home hungry .
28:47
We got dog food, beer
28:50
and wine and like a
28:52
fully functioning bar baby
28:54
.
28:54
Well, I know all I send this lies too . If
28:56
you can catch the lemon vodka
28:59
and Kyla in a glass with
29:02
a lid . Oh see we can call it a
29:04
dirty moon . Nice
29:07
. Oh gotcha, gotcha.
29:09
I always dirty room bowls is my always
29:11
, is it ? Oh,
29:16
that's nice.
29:19
Okay. I'll do the same. I
29:21
guess. Cheers. Now
29:24
we need some culture, don't we, to
29:26
go with our ever so glorious,
29:29
dirty. This is weird, but
29:32
it's nice. This monologue
29:34
is by the amazing talented
29:37
writer award winning
29:39
Emily C. Snyder in New
29:42
York. Shakespeare inspired.
29:44
Oh, hello Emily . I
29:46
don't know . I do love some
29:49
Willie's shakes come down to, well
29:51
, Sue's may have, you've had too much Kalua caffeine
29:54
and I brought
29:56
you some water. What do you do
29:58
Abu and it could do globally . Okay.
30:03
Tanya Nebu
30:04
I you ready for the
30:09
distance that's between us.
30:11
Is the moon by Emily
30:13
C a Schneider [inaudible]
30:17
Maine . Yes. Do it. Sarah crashed
30:20
it, man. You got this.
30:22
Okay, here we go. The
30:25
distance that's between us is
30:27
the moon. Waxing waning.
30:30
Surprising me in sunlight before
30:33
drifting into the cloud covered canopy.
30:36
Just another concrete blemish
30:38
of the civilians Spangled sky.
30:42
Sometimes I think I can
30:44
catch you in my Palm. Reach
30:48
out fingers, sunlight
30:50
spread to clutch. She like can
30:52
opalescent power pop
30:56
perfect in my mouth and
30:59
let yourself refracted
31:01
light spread like cool
31:04
Carl coils throughout my app spread
31:07
Lim till I feel full
31:09
to the brim. With your restless
31:13
respondents burst to spill
31:16
the beauty of your splendor lifestyles
31:18
upon the sea . That sizzle, one
31:22
flare and fade cause
31:25
a little title away and then
31:27
recede to slumber for
31:30
the distance that's between us
31:33
is the moon. Most
31:37
often though your heavy I
31:39
eclipses me once,
31:42
twice 10 your head and with
31:44
a sigh. You sink the
31:48
deep beneath the heavy counter pain
31:51
of earth and alone. Toadstool
31:54
towed root and bug blind. I'm
31:56
a little rustle of the Autumns
31:59
. Disregarded leaves a puff
32:01
of Woodbine smoke the last
32:04
spatterings of something fragile spa between
32:07
us till with
32:10
color turned against the tail . You go a
32:13
week, a month or more
32:15
and then return with borrowed
32:17
light and wrathful stinking
32:20
with some other woman
32:22
smoke for the distance
32:24
that's between is the
32:26
moon. Had I a
32:28
pair of Ikaria swing, I should
32:31
not fly today. I know
32:33
the contours of your pockmarked tick
32:35
, the skeletons and all the secrets
32:37
that you keep on the side of your
32:40
man . Your shadow brewed
32:42
are clear as morning light to me.
32:46
I know
32:47
there's nothing in the hollow of
32:50
your weightless wavering, watery
32:52
well no fire burns
32:54
inside you. Oh , as fire
32:58
burns in me. How
33:01
do you, a pair of Icarus wings,
33:03
pale feather strap with glue and
33:05
wax with hope and chewing gum
33:07
and half remembered stolen
33:09
dreams. How do you ambition
33:12
to equal mine hat you
33:14
fire on your heels to send
33:17
your soul and launch you fast
33:20
past every blanket of the star students guy.
33:23
Fuck that distance that's between
33:25
us is the
33:33
moon that you dad , you do more than
33:35
still a little sunlight for
33:37
yourself. How do you brave
33:40
the sunspot ox of my skin,
33:43
the Phoenix and the salamander
33:46
and all of that lives within?
33:50
How do you dad , you
33:53
slipped once from out your orbit
33:55
to dance among the galaxies
33:57
that swore a long my
33:59
skirt braved
34:02
the burning of your feathers
34:04
and the melting of your coat
34:06
uninhabited concrete heart had
34:09
you dead. You let
34:11
me fill your soul with the excess
34:14
blaze that's reflected coldly
34:17
in your blue and blinking
34:19
gaze. Oh , let
34:22
my fingertip creep
34:25
across the airy blanket
34:27
that marks the place between the sun
34:30
and moon and
34:32
maybe,
34:34
but
34:36
the distance that's between
34:38
us is the
34:40
moon. One of
34:43
millions juggled in my sphere
34:47
for love. Too costly
34:51
for sleep to dear
34:54
and I.
34:56
Great. A shining star to
34:59
live longer here.
35:04
How refreshing. I
35:06
feel terribly cultured now. Oh , why
35:09
Cy ? Would you lock the hope? Nope. I've never been so insulted
35:11
in my life. No , it's , it's a biscuit.
35:14
You have the biscuits that also for everyone , especially if
35:18
it's smaller though . If it's all about respect. Um
35:20
, don't get me started on Jaffa
35:23
Java cakes. We can still
35:25
do the thing. The thing, the
35:27
thing, the thing though . Yes.
35:29
The thing, Oh, just a thing. The full , full
35:32
full moon. Half moon eclipse.
35:42
But you're a robot. It
35:47
should we just play the next one. Look so we can eat the whole
35:49
packet. Sorry .
35:54
I used to think
35:56
the moon was a button
35:59
sewn to the sky with golden
36:01
thread when
36:04
I was a child floating
36:06
in the midnight spill of its light on
36:09
my counter pain . I'd imagine
36:11
I belonged to another
36:13
world. At the back of the
36:16
moon. This Earth's flipped sister.
36:19
Everything was otherwise in
36:21
this Knight kingdom where
36:24
we spoke in language I made
36:26
up by squishing my tongue against
36:29
my palate . Sometimes
36:31
I had speak this language. When
36:33
I was nervous, my
36:36
brothers teased me ruthlessly from
36:38
my disgusting habit
36:41
until I told them I had been taught by
36:44
aliens to speak their tongue.
36:47
Strangely, this
36:49
did not help with the teasing,
36:53
but at night, at the back
36:55
of the moon, I'd explore
36:57
the cosmic Tundra.
37:00
No longer the undersized
37:02
squirt, but a captain of
37:04
my soul raft. Even
37:08
today when I wake
37:11
in the nocturnal hours, there's
37:14
a moment when I reach
37:16
for my, or for
37:19
a few seconds believing there
37:21
are still adventures waiting
37:23
for me out
37:26
there in the sea of stars.
37:33
I love that one evokes
37:36
memories of childhood. Yes,
37:38
it was by the amazing. Sorry my Tucson.
37:41
Hello sir. But you're still worthy. You're beautiful.
37:44
Sarah , back to song is amazing
37:48
on all underwriters . Amazing. And
37:50
it's so nice to hear Lucy and all
37:52
her glory. See
37:56
what I love though is that, see
37:59
, although we're at different ages and different
38:01
places and what me and yeah
38:03
, I mean you meet with me and everyone
38:05
really did . We were still, we're still
38:07
all born under the same moon when we,
38:11
you know, when you, when you do look up,
38:13
but night, your night, my night we,
38:15
you see the same face to face
38:18
with the moon. Me
38:21
too.
38:26
[inaudible]
38:32
and we'll leave our explorers for a
38:34
short while to contemplate their
38:36
very existence on, over,
38:38

38:41
until part three coming
38:43

38:46

38:48
moon on their chocolatey dirty. Moonhigh
38:51
