Tyrants In Training Episode 18 -David Stokes as (Thumbs Up Symbol) of ThumberLand

The eighteenth episode in the history of the Tyrant In Training podcast. Hosted by Kevin Ryan. Today's guest is screenwriter David Stokes.

Someone with an unexplained and some say unhealthy obsession with thumbs, David crashed landed on the island at the age of nine, because he flew the plane, and was quickly airlifted into the top floor of the mansion he resides in. Afraid of mirrors which he believes will take his soul away, thumbs up spends most of his days on zoom declaring orders that nobody with no thumbs may join the island and zooming in his cameo to the remake to the only Star Wars movie: A New Hope.  He assumes his people are carrying out his orders. 

 

He has made a friend, Trevor, a friendly man with no thumbs on his hands but does have thumb like baby toes. He has been spotted swinging across the bridge between the city and thumbs up castle and Trevor has a room just under thumbs up. Some say they are in a loving relationship but thumbs up refuses to answer that. 

 

Some quotes:

God is in the shape of a thumb. 

We do have a commercial and the tickets are very very cheap but the reason is the fact they don't know who is flying the plane. So it might be a pilot with 30 years experience, it might be John, who has had his 7th birthday and he's just behind there, pressing buttons. 

The chances of dying are astronomical and so people are kind of used to not leaving their homes.
