## Episode Summary

In this episode Josiah successfully solves world hungy by introducing the World Wide Potluck, a mandatory 1 PM lunch at Potluck Lunch Restaurant

## Idea Details

* Idea: World Wide Potluck
* Creator of idea: Josiah
* Purpose of idea: So this week we're gonna talk about uh what's one of the biggest issues plaguing humanity today um in the world is of course the issue of um (Drew: "Not enough potlucks") well I was gonna say being hungy is the main issue that a lot of people face on a daily basis. Hung- hungy. World Wide Hungy is an issue and so- (Drew: "I'm not sure if you should keep saying hungy all episode") How come? (Drew: "It's just a little - it's a little uh infantile. It's like you're being an adult baby.") The biggest issue plaguing humanity today is tummy grumbles um because they're all hungy for some num-nums and they wanna nom on - So you've already given away what I'm proposing this week so thanks for that. Um so how do we get rid of World Wide Hungys, Drew? What would be the best way to get rid of World Wide Hungys? (Drew: "Uh I think if we were able to make everybody's stomachs smaller, just give everybody like stomach staples. That way not only do you uh make everybody uh eat less so that they're uh able to fill up with a less amount of food uh we're keeping the - the global uh resources stockpiled up cause we're not having to eat as much. So think about - think about all the grain that we're gonna save. So I think we should actually do the episode on this instead of what we're - I think this is actually a better idea, but I'm gonna go ahead and for you-") Well that's interesting - well that's - OK for the first time ever in Globe Hell history, the long-running brand, we've got two competing ideas. So Drew proposes World Wide S- World Wide Stomach Staples and I propose - I"m gonna just probably play this cause I think we should listen. I propose World Wide Potluck. World Wide Restaurant basically.
* Timetable: No timetable was given for World Wide Potluck. However, its implementation requires World Wide Train, World Wide Time Zone, and the giant floating platform in the ocean to be created first.
* Idea details:
	+ World Wide Potluck will be held in a World Wide Potluck Restaurant.
	+ World Wide Potluck will take place at lunch every day. This will allow everyone to take a break in the middle of the day to go eat World Wide Potluck.
	+ After World Wide Potluck is implemented, there will be mandatory intermittent fasting.
	+ Every day, every human being in the world must bring one item to the World Wide Potluck Restaurant for World Wide Potluck. You can bring chips maybe once a month but otherwise you should bring casseroles, salads, finger sandwiches, spare ribs, ice cream sandwiches, etc., that people will often forget to bring. Drinks are a good option as well.
	+ World Wide Potluck Restaurant will be on a giant floating platform in the middle of the ocean so everyone in the world can meet in the middle. The platform rotates so you can view the entire world as it rotates. The platform will be named Boaty McBoatface.
	+ Food allergies will not be an issue at World Wide Potluck because chances are good that someone in the world brought an item that meets your dietary needs.
	+ Paper plates will be used at World Wide Potluck because it is unrealistic to ask anyone to wash that many dishes, and this way you can simply throw your trash into the ocean.
	+ World Wide Time Zone will already be implemented by the time World Wide Potluck is implemented, so it will be lunch at the same time everywhere in the world so that everyone in the world rides World Wide Train to Boaty McBoatface to eat World Wide Potluck at the same time.
	+ While riding World Wide Train to Boaty McBoatface for World Wide Potluck at lunch, everyone in the world will be encouraged to listen to *I'm On A Boat* by The Lonely Island at the same time.
	+ There will be holes in the ground all over Boaty McBoatface and when you need to shit you just shit in the holes and if you need to wash yourself, you can just wash off in the ocean through the hole you shit through. The sun can be used to dry yourself off.
	+ There will be themed days for World Wide Potluck, such as Margarita Monday, Taco Tuesday, Wing Wednesday, etc. On Wing Wednesday, for instance, half of the people in the world will need to bring wings and the other half will bring carrots and celery sticks. These themes will only be used to help guide people in a certain direction to avoid having everyone in the world bringing the same dish like a Safeway coleslaw.
	+ World Wide Potluck will have some prepared food in addition to the food that everyone in the world brings. The prepared food will be recreated from leftovers from the previous day's World Wide Potluck. This will ensure there is no food waste while everyone in the world brings fresh food every single day.
	+ There will likely need to be thousands of tables to make room for everyone in the world to eat World Wide Potluck for lunch at the same time.
	+ World Wide Potluck will have tables determined by a combination of wedding-style seating and quizzes. Since World Wide Potluck takes place every day, there is a pretty strong chance that there will be a wedding every day. Regardless, there will be enforced weddings at World Wide Potluck every day known as World Wide Wedding.
		- Note: This is not to be confused with Drew's World Wide Wedding to World Wife.
	+ There will be disposable cameras on every table so people can document the World Wide Potluck experience every day.
	+ There may be some form of speed dating at World Wide Potluck, in hopes that Drew can find a girlfriend.
	+ World Wide Potluck shouldn't last longer than an hour every day. This will be enforced with tear gas and dogs, because the world cannot shut down for more than an hour every single day.
	+ People are not allowed to take a working lunch during World Wide Potluck. This will be enforced with tasers because everyone needs to restore their mental energy.
	+ There will not be tablecloths on the tables at World Wide Potluck.
	+ The seating at World Wide Potluck will be developed in collaboration with the people who make the anti-homeless benches.
	+ World Wide Potluck will be a late lunch at 1:00 PM of the global time zone every day.
	+ It will be safe to trust everyone in the world's cooking.

## Devil Play

* Drew decided to be devil by pointing out that there could be some people who cannot afford to buy food or who do not have time to prepare a meal. He asked if there was some easy or cheap way to help those people bring a meal to World Wide Potluck every day.
	+ Josiah noted that any food you can scrounge up will satisfy the requirements of World Wide Potluck.
	+ Drew asked if something like a package of pudding would be sufficient.
	+ Josiah agreed as long as you brought enough for everyone, which he clarified was a slight exaggeration.
* Josiah played devil in an effort to collaborate with Drew by pointing out that while the shit and piss on World Wide Train are dealt with by tipping mechanisms in World Wide Train that dump the shit and piss into the ocean, he wondered what the plan was for dealing with the shit and piss on Boaty McBoatface.
	+ Drew suggested they include holes in the ground all over Boaty McBoatface and when you need to shit you just shit in the holes and if you need to wash yourself, you can just wash off in the ocean through the hole you shit through. The sun can be used to dry yourself off.

## Notable Quotes

### Josiah

* "Another thing that I don't know how to find is our Patreon page which we do have. Where is that located? There's no link in our Twitter, there's - we've never mentioned it on here, we've got three subscribers, only one of them - we only have one - of those three subscribers, only one of them is a member of the band fun.."
* "So why are there - there's three Patrons but we're only making $14 per month, but the only level that you've made is $5 a month. So somebody is just giving less than..."
* "Um welcome to Globe Hell Warning, the uh deconstructing hell world, critiquing it, we're gonna get famous from talking about guillotine and that's what we're here to do today is talk about the hell world and hopefully help world as we do so. This is Globe Hell Warning. Of course I am joined by my esteemed co-host and dearest oldest friend Drew um don't remember your last name to be honest."
* "And I hear birds in your apartment, and I'm not talking about uh females."
* "I think we're not famous enough yet, considering we keep saying 'hell world' and 'guillotine' and I don't understand what's - what we're doing wrong! Should we be - should we be uh downloading videos of the protests and re-cutting them into sort of epic fail compilations? That's one method."
* [In response to Drew saying protestors are down in the shit] "If being a protestor is just being in shit, then you are protesting every day um sitting in your nasty little chair that is just soiled with um feci."
* "I find you - I - I - I like your bits particularly I find you a bit annoying."
* "It's interesting the intestines point towards the dick."
* [On the topic of food going out the dick] "It alters into piss and cum."
* "How's your shit area feeling with this music playing? Are you digesting?"
* "I think I feel a big ol' turd forming."
* "You think there's something wrong with shitting. And that explains why you're so - people say 'anal retentive' is kind of the vibe that you are."
* [In response to hearing the kind of meal Drew likes to cook] "Hey, sounds about white. That sounds about white for you to be eating that. Sounds about white. Sounds about white."
* "You're always trying to turn everything into speed dating. You said that - you even said when I said 'let's start a podcast' you said 'why don't we start a podcast where I do speed dating' and I said 'I don't understand how that would - what - first of all, where do I fit into that, and who wants to listen to that?' and you said 'no I'll just go on a bunch of speed dating uh and go to speed dating for gamers in Calgary' and I said 'I don't care what you do in your free time but how is that a podcast?' "
* "I wonder if people are gonna say 'well you've built a platform in the middle of the ocean, you've created a flawless system for an entire global population to eat lunch together, to break bread, so to speak um through a wedding-like table system, and you're just only gonna use that once a day? And isn't that wasteful?' I mean, I guess we could consider some sort of - we could rent out the platform at night but then again, I think there's probably gonna be a lot of cleanup."

### Drew

* "Is it Globe Hell Warming or is it Globe Hell Warning or is it global warming?"
* "Thank you so much, Nate. But the other members have to sign up now."
* [On the topic of having three Patreon subscribers but only making $14 per month] "Yeah there's somebody - some- one of these - one of these people is not giving the full amount. Somebody's only giving $4."
* [In response to Josiah's request that Drew dox the Patreon subscriber who was only giving $4 per month] "I'm not sure, it doesn't tell me who uh is only paying $4 a month cause I'm not logged in."
* "All right, let's just riff here, folks. Uh Josiah's going to check out what's making the sound outside, I'm sure you're able to hear it. Uh guess he's not gonna wanna close his windows cause he's been such a baby complaining about the heat, saying that there's a heat warning. Um just pick up some popsicles or something, suck on those, keep your s- keep your temperature down, and he should be fine."
* "Yeah I bet you like my bits. Probably wanna suck on em."
* "Well there's good things about children, like they're innocent and I think they see the world from a unique perspective, but they also poop - it doesn't matter."
* [On the topic of the intestines pointing towards the dick] "Well that's because that's where the food goes out."
* [In response to Josiah saying he thinks he feels a turd forming] "Yeah, for you that's called an idea."
* "I think if you can, you hold it until you get on the train. But if you can't, um just have - I guess what we'll do is just have holes in the ground and you can just uh use those and then uh if you have to you can just dip your tookus into the ocean through the same hole you shit through and wash it off. And then you just stick your rear end up in the air and let the hot sun dry it off. Cause the sun is always shining in the ocean."
* [Describing what he usually likes to cook] "Well what I'll do is just uh - what, I'll get a frying pan, I'll throw some ham into it, uh throw some mayo in there, some mustard, an egg, crack an egg on it, take that ham and roll it up into a tube and then I'll just suck the innards out and throw the ham into the garbage."
* "Oh we should do some speed dating while we're there! Set up some speed dating!"
* "Wow, well this is a dream come true. Not only will I get to shit directly into the ocean through a hole in a restaurant floor, uh I'll be able to get a girlfriend. This is a dream come true."

## Trivia

* The giant floating platform in the middle of the ocean used for World Wide Potluck will also be used for World Wide Rock Festival.
* Josiah would later revisit solving world hunger in Episode 22: Food. He repeatedly mentions ginger beef in both episodes.
	+ Note: The mandatory intermittent fasting as part of World Wide Potluck would seem to be contradicted by the ability to order your neighbor's shit for dinner on the Dinder app.
* The World Wide Time Zone mentioned in this episode is developed further in Episode 13: World Wide Watch.
