Ayoade was surprisingly toned down for this one, which made me realise how crazy the lockdown year was. For all of us. It even fazed Richard Ayoade.

[@beatm6948]

@@DizzyBusy he's good at leveling his comedy persona i think. (Noel Fielding has done a similar thing on TBFQ) So he realized who was on the panel and went "how does this panel make the most sense". It's kind of a weird panel because you have 3 teams with an awkward comedian on them. Typically that doesn't happen. Well anyways, what do I know, I'm not Richard.

Sorry, but Stacey's rant about time is spot on. We are the ones who put so much emphasis on documenting time and its rate is only relevant to our position and speed in relation to Earths gravity and its velocity through space. Change our speed or move further away from a larger gravitational field and time is distorted
