The boys found a melting pot of skin eating familiars, hybridised family names, desquamation and delirium when they recorded this chapter late at night. Stick around till the end to hear the unfiltered rambles as they piece together this world. Disclaimer: Matts audio in regular fashion decided not to behave so we are sorry for the varying volume levels throughout.

Book 2 - Chapter 5: Universal Togetherness

4/23/2023
Join the boys as they talk about the tactics to survive against all mammals if they waged war on humanity. Though the humans would have the upper hand with communication due to the universal sign language (Definitely not the obvious current upper hand, it's definitely the universal sign language). Though their clothes will get dirty given they can only wear one outfit per decade.

The boys discuss a new system of politics where leaders are chosen by a talent show. Though everyone's bodies are as malleable as an octopus so there will be some particularly notable contortionist acts. So grab your jerky as there's no refrigerators either because they've never been invented. Enjoy chapter 4!

Enjoy Matt, Danny & Owen playing around this week in the video game special of 'What Could Have Been...' The boys explore how infinite backpacks would work with the loopholes and paradoxes that come with them. Fighting games meet manual labour as a bricklayer goes toe to toe with a tree surgeon in the new, more relatable, fighting game. Getting to select your talents and traits at birth would be fun right? Though would you have trusted your parents to make the right choices for the current you? Luckily you gain experience points as you age and can go into the character select screen of LIFE and make these decisions yourself! Book 2 Chapter 3

Book 1 - Chapter 13: Split Up and Look for Poos

10/11/2021
Matt, Macklin and Danny have had a stinker this time, they just hope your heart can take it. Appeasing the Dog Poo Police and cleaning up after little Rex won't be the only thing getting your heart rate going: That 180bpm gabber will be keeping the ticker beating fast. 180bpm fast to be precise. With all this added stress, it's also no wonder kids want to stay in thier mum's new marsupial esc pouches for as long as possible.

9/27/2021
Matt Macklin and Danny have once again made a greener world but not for the first time, it's complicated. In a new public transport centric existence, a logistical nightmare of fitting a society of 3ft and 6ft people into the same monorail system is a headache and a half. Not to mention the world is 99% psychopaths so good luck finding a seat. Join the boys in this divided world and listen out for the special appearance from our wonderful editor Mia.

Book 1 - Chapter 11: Shine Bright like a Diamond

4/12/2021
The boys dicuss the possibility of puffy marshmallow like humans which could also light up the night with our new fangled bioluminescence. These humans roam an earth which itself is problematic, as it is ready to pop like a ripe spot with a severe lack of plate margins. ENJOY!

Book 1 - Chapter 9: Richard Barbers & Kitten Parlors

1/27/2021
For many of us the idea of having multiple opportunities at restarting life sounds idyllic, but what if the price for life was a more physical price? How many years is a leg worth anyway? As long as you still had both legs, you'd still be able to take part in the new global skipping craze and skip down to your local hairdressers to get your pubes permed. Or a mullet. Find out what the boys think this reality would be in Episode 9! Edited by Mia Darnell

Book 1 - Chapter 8: The Age of Aquariums

1/1/2021
Ever wondered what the world would be like without spiders, how the human story would differ if our species evolved to have gills, and what could have been if our vision developed to be more like Eagles eyes? Even if you haven't ever wondered about any of that stuff, join Macklin, Matt & Danny; they're sure that you'll enjoy the wackiness that they uncovered throughout this chapter.

Book 1 - Chapter 7: A Monkey's Tail...

12/13/2020
Ever thought about having being a monkey? Too scary? Well how about just having one of their tails? Better that than a whole load a gigantic animals that have gone extinct still roaming around right? Surely that place would smell pretty bad, so best get rid of our olfactory system so we can't smell and taste to. Join Matt, Macklin & Danny discussing these questions and more...

Book 1 - Chapter 6: Magic Macklin XS

11/27/2020
After the destruction of life as we know it from previous chapters, the boys wanted to dial things back a little bit as they welcomed their new Legendary Edit Master, Mia the Great. As a team they imagined a more habitable existence for the residents of this alternate universe, asking what could have been if unicorns existed? What if Humans developed personal gyrocopters as their primary mode of transportation? And what could have been if humans had the ability to duplicate themselves? This ability only being activated once they gain enough fat or muscle to do so... A weird and wacky chapter for sure!

Book 1 - Chapter 5: Silent night (Hopefully)

11/15/2020
This week's Chapter takes a dark turn in more ways than one. Nights are no longer lit by the glow of moonlight and to make things worse, lights are now some of the loudest entities known to man. Of course, we couldn't let humans have it easy in this already hostile universe so we decided to make them cold-blooded as well. Tune in to hear what the boys have to say about this cold and dark reality.

Book 1 - Chapter 4: Musical Mountains

10/25/2020
What could have been if we only needed to eat 200-300 calories a day? The worlds tidal ranges averaged around the 100m mark? Or humans failed to create any form of written language? Obviously, there are a few initial thoughts, though the tangents are plentiful...
