Ep 26 - A Tail To Remember

noreply@blogger.com (Tania 'doodlezilla' Vincent) — Tue, 30 Oct 2018 04:12:00 -0700

Hello you lovely lot. This week we think about a world where all humans have tails. It was suggested by my brother and boy did we run wild with the ideas (and puns).

What do you think? Would you want a tail? If you did have one , which animals tail would you want?

Dystopia, Utopia or Midtopia...what do you think?

Ep 25 - The Pong

noreply@blogger.com (Tania 'doodlezilla' Vincent) — Sun, 14 Oct 2018 06:19:00 -0700

This week we have a special guest, Will Robson . We talk about living in games, living as a line in the 2d world and how we'd live if we had a hyper loop.

Dystopia, Midtopia or Utopia. What do you think?

Ep 24 - A Boat Load Of Sky Diamonds

noreply@blogger.com (Tania 'doodlezilla' Vincent) — Sun, 14 Oct 2018 06:14:00 -0700

Hello, we've been away for a while but we are back and this week Lee is in charge. He is pondering Matrioshka brain's, Dyson spheres and diamond filled skies. I do my best to be devil's advocate.

We have a special guest this week, Ryan Case from Seattle who poses our fantastic mini question.

What do you think? What would happen when we need more fuel than the earth could provide? Dystopia, Utopia or Midtopia?

Ep 22 - What The Fluff

noreply@blogger.com (Tania 'doodlezilla' Vincent) — Sun, 15 Jul 2018 07:22:00 -0700

This week we discuss a world where animals can tell us their darkest secrets. Lee decides that dogs are excellent judges of character and we both are baffled by science....no changes there then.

Ep 21 - Don't Tell My Wizard What To Do

noreply@blogger.com (Tania 'doodlezilla' Vincent) — Sun, 27 May 2018 07:05:00 -0700

This week I mess with Lee's head and ask him to question virtual morality. We discuss cyborg arms, the best ships of Sci-fi and disappointed 99th level wizards. What do you guys think? If we spent all of our time in the virtual world, would our morals cross over?

Dystopia, Midtopia or Utopoia?

Ep 20 - The World of Woof

noreply@blogger.com (Tania 'doodlezilla' Vincent) — Mon, 14 May 2018 08:45:00 -0700

This week we explore what a world would look like if dogs evolved to be all powerful. We decide if dogs have arms, how they'd wear trousers and if it would be a Mad Max dystopia or a beautiful futuristic Utopia.

What do you think? Utopia, Dystopia or Midtopia?

Ep 19 - Do Geckos Have Willies ? - A Lee Special

noreply@blogger.com (Tania 'doodlezilla' Vincent) — Sun, 29 Apr 2018 06:38:00 -0700

This week Lee is in charge. We discuss living in a world where we are forced to feel nothing. We reveal childhood secrets, discuss the difference between emotions and sensations and ask the important question...do geckos have willies?

Thank you to Lee's friend and listener Dwayne for this weeks 'New World Rule'. If anyone has any burning questions or suggestions let us know and we will take your idea, ruin it and make you wish you'd never suggested it.

Have a great week everyone.

Ep 18 - The Implication

noreply@blogger.com (Tania 'doodlezilla' Vincent) — Sat, 21 Apr 2018 09:55:00 -0700

This week we discuss an idea Kirk and Ender had a hard time with. We talk politics, make rude sci fi puns and get interrupted by cookies.

noreply@blogger.com (Tania 'doodlezilla' Vincent) — Mon, 2 Apr 2018 10:29:00 -0700

This week we try to salvage an episode that was two thirds deleted, we talk far too much about Kevin Bacon and discuss if having to look at yourself in the mirror determines your moral values.

Things we mention:
* He-man Insurance Ads
* Muppet Babies Aren't For You - Article
* Books you should all read - Rendezvous With Rama
* Hollow Man

Ep 16 - The Black Minute Market

noreply@blogger.com (Tania 'doodlezilla' Vincent) — Sun, 25 Mar 2018 08:39:00 -0700

We're back and this week we are talking about Sci Fi mom's, pooping wombats and pounds being replaced by seconds. We decide if we'd want to be immortal and I teach Lee a new word.

This weeks show idea comes to us from Thom Jones ( Cereal Arsonist)

What do you think about this weeks world? Dystopia , Midtopia or Utopia?

Things mentioned this week:

J.R.R. Tolkien Quote:

"I cordially dislike allegory in all its manifestations, and always have done so since I grew old and wary enough to detect its presence. I much prefer history – true or feigned– with its varied applicability to the thought and experience of readers. I think that many confuse applicability with allegory, but the one resides in the freedom of the reader, and the other in the purposed domination of the author."

Ep 15 - Bionic Bigotry

noreply@blogger.com (Tania 'doodlezilla' Vincent) — Sun, 4 Mar 2018 08:27:00 -0800

This week we talk about A.I and what we should do when a computer passes the Turing Test. Will we use it for good or evil? Will it want to take over or will it become a stand up comic ? Lee brings up some interesting points and Tania drinks a lot of wine. What do you think? What will A.I be used for and will it want to destroy all humans?

Dystopia, Utopia or Midtopia? You decide.

Mentions:
* Alan Turing
* Thom Jones Twitch Channel: Cereal Arsonist

Ep 14 - Not So Bright

noreply@blogger.com (Tania 'doodlezilla' Vincent) — Sun, 25 Feb 2018 03:14:00 -0800

This week we talk about the new Netflix film 'Bright'. We were both really excited to watch this film and to see what a movie could do with the concept of Lord of the Rings brought into the modern world. It's safe to say that we were disappointed. So this week we try our hands at world building. We discuss if it's racist to ride a centaur, slugs with faces and hippy elves. What did you think of the movie? Is there anything we missed or overlooked? How do you guys think this world could have been created differently?

Is the world we created a Dystopia, Midtopia or Utopia?

note* Do I regret the Ru Paul impression at the start...you bet I do!

Ep 13 - The Sprout Conundrum

noreply@blogger.com (Tania 'doodlezilla' Vincent) — Sun, 18 Feb 2018 07:51:00 -0800

What if we really were all created equal? A perfect world or an excuse to get a facial tattoo? We also talk about the benefits of being a hobbit, animal sidekicks and sexy ants.

What do you think would happen if everyone looked the exact same? Would you like it? Who would you want the world to look like?

A big thank you to Meg (soon to be Vincent) Johnson for our 'New World Rule' this week. We definitely did not do it justice.

Ep 12 - The Luck Paradox

noreply@blogger.com (Tania 'doodlezilla' Vincent) — Sun, 11 Feb 2018 06:02:00 -0800

This week we sneak into a world that Douglas Adams would feel at home in. Tania becomes convinced that money can buy you happiness and that luck is real. Lee tries to talk some sense into her. We are confused , yet quite upbeat in this weeks episode. Tell us what you think. Does luck already exist in the world? Would the world be better if we could give out luck? Can you survive this podcast if you drink every time we say the word 'luck'....probably not.

Utopia, midtopia or dystopia?

Ep 11 - You'd Be The Monkey Who Stood On Its Baby - With Special Guest

noreply@blogger.com (Tania 'doodlezilla' Vincent) — Mon, 5 Feb 2018 06:47:00 -0800

The Brothers Grim.

This week we have our first guest star. Lee's brother Alex is visiting us and helps us decide if you would want to live forever in a computer, as well as helping us decide if we are real to begin with. We also talk monkey babies, grape filters and pod people.

Backtracks:
. Creature Feature - Lee's monkey experiment may actually be fake monkey news. It is a widely known story but not a proven real occurrence (as far as we can tell). This is great news because it's a horrid experiment. Don't worry, I'll make him do a shot for this mistake in next weeks backtrack corner.

. For some reason Tania found this episode hilarious. Please ignore her cackling during the recording.

Ep 10 - Dirty Mirror

noreply@blogger.com (Tania 'doodlezilla' Vincent) — Sun, 28 Jan 2018 00:41:00 -0800

This week we are looking at our first non-fictional world and flexing our brain boxes. This weeks rule is from a haunting episode of Black Mirror and something that is actually happening in China. We take a look at what that could mean and what could happen because of it. We have our thinking hats on this week. Be warned that they don't get much use so they are a little dusty.

What do you think? Dystopia, Midtopia or Utopia?

We LOVE having our minds changed so please let us know and email us if you have any questions, queries or points to share.

Ep 09 - Getting Bogged Down In Candles

noreply@blogger.com (Tania 'doodlezilla' Vincent) — Sun, 21 Jan 2018 05:30:00 -0800

This week we take babble to a whole new level. We discuss names for a new world, 5 essential items to survive anything and the moral implications of looting dogs.We also have a new feature this week where Lee tells us about a Sci-fi worthy creature that lives in the real world .

At some points during the podcast we actually discuss the new world rule. Ironically our power cut out during this podcast and kept causing the audio to drop off . That's podcast karma!

So what do you think about this weeks 'New World '? Dystopia, Midopia or Utopia?

Ep 08 - I Punch Lined All Over It - The Lee Special

noreply@blogger.com (Tania 'doodlezilla' Vincent) — Sat, 13 Jan 2018 18:34:00 -0800

These weirdos are back and ready to attack the big questions. Unfortunately this special is a little late, mainly because us nincompoops forgot to take our laptop traveling with us so here is a special ep where Lee takes the reins. We say it's Christmas and we know it's not anymore so let's all pretend it's a alternative dimension where Christmas is until the 14th of Jan...easy enough.

We discuss whether Men would be good at being pregnant, would you eat babies if they were delicious and should Lee ever be allowed to be in control again. I feel the answer is a big yes. He is definitely a secret host.

What do you think....Dystopia, Midopia or Utopia?

Send us your questions to :
drinksanddystopia@hotmail.com

The first person to message us with what Christmas reference we are using to name our homemade 'George Failey's' will win a prize...probably a lot of kudos and a customised drawing, but we will see.

Happy New Year everyone. Let's make 2018 a good'un.

*Special thanks to Brent and Sam (Lee's colleagues) and we will have a proper backtrack corner next week talking about all of your great points for Ep 7 and Ep 8.

noreply@blogger.com (Tania 'doodlezilla' Vincent) — Sun, 3 Dec 2017 10:01:00 -0800

This week we discuss a world with babies in bags, evil dictators and a great world for indecisive people.

Ep 05 - He'd Eat The Loch Ness Monster

noreply@blogger.com (Tania 'doodlezilla' Vincent) — Sun, 26 Nov 2017 08:59:00 -0800

This week we are thinking about the serious, deep questions. What would happen if we knew a meteor would hit the earth in ten years time? What is a meteor? Why is Mary Poppins so bad to live with and Lee's worrisome plan to keep his space discoveries to himself.

What do you think ? Dystopia, Utopia or Midopia?

* We have a new mic...YAY.....it is broken and recorded nothing......BOO! This is a recording with the default computer mic. Imagine a world were we get our microphones to work. A beautiful utopia!*

Ep 04 - The Tears of a Generation

noreply@blogger.com (Tania 'doodlezilla' Vincent) — Sun, 19 Nov 2017 05:19:00 -0800

This week we delve into the world of Arthur C Clarke where aliens have made us feel like jerks on trains, screwed up office politics and forced us to try and remember 'The Golden Rule'.

What do you guys think; Dystopia, Utopia or Midopia?

Note* Sound and Sound mixing software are on their way. Your poor ears will be able to hear us better in ep 5...we aren't sure you will want that but we will see*

Ep 03 - Did The Goblin Touch You?

noreply@blogger.com (Tania 'doodlezilla' Vincent) — Sun, 12 Nov 2017 02:25:00 -0800

When you need to get dressed up into crazy costumes it surely is the best time to record a podcast? It's a bonkers episode where we discuss material politics, why Kermit is a jerk and how no should let their friend live in a trash can.

You can also find us on ITunes like real podcasters.

*edit - a note needs to be added to this episode....what a load of nonsense. I think that we all hope this becomes the lost episode. New microphone and less craziness is on the way in the next few episodes*

Ep 02 - You Could Wear Your Friends

noreply@blogger.com (Tania 'doodlezilla' Vincent) — Sun, 5 Nov 2017 05:42:00 -0800

We did it guys. We made our second episode. In truth we recorded this before we posted our first one online. Which is why we didn't mention the incredible response from you all.

This week we are talking about a world where it is always cold. What would the currency be? Would people be funnier? Did people in Iceland wear their friends leg skin after they died? (yes , we go to some weird places in this podcast).

Dystopia, Utopia or Midopia...what do you think?
