So this is the final episode. The final episode of everything, because the world ends tomorrow. We talk about that quite a bit. Also, a fascinating (and angry) story from the Producer about yoga!
Questions : I lost them. There were three. The first was from Mark, asking about the source of Tony’s “the only podcast…” bit. The second was from Craig (I think), asking about cybernetic implants. And the final question (ever?) was from Sir Guido, doing a compare/contrast of TV and movies.
Alternate title : The Producer, who originally came up with the episode title, later put her weight behind calling it “Happy Chrismageddonkwanzucah!” or something similar, but was outvoted. By me.

HE DID IT! THE DOCTOR SAVED US!
Okay, so I didn’t comment until now because I had better things to do before the end of the world then comment on the blog. But the world didn’t end so I can go back to frittering away my time on this Earth…
So I used Tony’s point about the Myan’s grasp of future events and their calendar at work and it went over quite well.
So well done there Tony.
Producer: Head stands do not sound relaxing; so yeah, not something I’d consider appropriate for a Yoga for Relaxation class. Also, yeah pretzels! :p
Apparently the apocalypse/end-of-times was so earth shattering I didn’t even notice it happening the other day. Either that or Heaven/Hell/afterlife is exactly like my current ordinary life and wow isn’t that a depressing thought. And that’s all I can stand to talk about this subject.
I agree that Tony could start a cult, what I find harder to believe is anybody would join his cult.
The Stig: The best part of asking this question is listening to William learning about Top Gear & the Stig. And yes, there have been multiple Stigs.
Cybernetic implants: Yes, especially if I’m ever in an accident and need bits replaced (ala the Six Million Dollar man). Specific implants I’d like though? Umm, maybe a sonic screwdriver built into one finger and/or a universal remote built into another? I like Tony’s idea of the retinal display with a computer memory/search function but I’d be concerned about pop-up advertising coming up while I’m driving.
Immortality: With the option to back out if I decide being immortal sucks; then yeah I’d go for it. Without that, I don’t know if I would. If I did though, probably I’d work to amass a fortune specifically to build a long-term, deep-space exploration mission that I would myself be a part of.
