This is a hit gum original
You got to be kidding me with that we're back of all the days to be back on a Thursday
We choose a Thursday to be back on a Thursday Thursday. No less. It's insane. Yeah
I'm not gonna say whether recording in the same room or on a zoom
I want the people to figure you'll have to find out for themselves
Whether it sounds like we're in the same room that means I'm a good editor and if
You think we are in the same room and we are it means that it's noticeably how bad the editing is in the other episodes
Let's see. Let's see you edit around this. I'm gonna get up. Okay. This is good. Okay. I'll do some soundscaping
Oh, I talking to your mic. Yeah, they won't know the difference between the two. Well, they not. No
Yeah, but they'll hear me kind of walking back to mine. That's right
So if I was able to pull that off in post some kind of crazy Foley
insane to have the
Audacity to sort of Foley clogs on a carpet
We foleyed this episode, that's right with Dave Foley
All right, I figured I would give you a quiz
That's more up your alley than mine. The Helix sleep quiz. No, that one is just sort of your preferences on whether you sleep on your side
I aced that. Yeah, this one's more about knowledge that extends beyond whether or not you snore sometimes. Okay. Mm-hmm
Okay, do you remember what you got on your SATs?
Vagley I think it was it was either in the 12s. I think it was 12
Something which is above average for sure of average, but not great
And then do you remember what you got on your math V English? Yes. I remember I think I got like a 660 in verbal
Wow, okay
Some fun something in the fives 550. Yeah, the fact that you can't back into what you did on the math means you didn't get very good
Actually, I really struggle with numbers and I wish you would fortunately. This is an SAT vocab test that I found
Yes, so I said, you know what? I'll spare Jake the algebra. Why put him through that again
Uh-huh. Let's give him some words that he knows or doesn't. Yeah. Okay. Cool
I I feel like if I could do the
SAT verbal again now, I would do better
Interesting I would do worse because there were so many words that I just didn't know that I was like
Memorizing because it's like here's a list of 500 words that often come up on the SATs
Yeah, and the words I don't really know for example the first word which I didn't know
is
Define a circum you look circum locution. Whoa circum locution
Circum locution. Yeah, it's to evade. Okay. It's unaware
It's to delete material that is forbidden or
Uproar
interesting
Very interesting. I remember the tips of like breaking downwards. Remember that like oh this it's the Latin root
That means one thing so it you can help figure it out. No, I don't remember that. I'm sure I learned it
I had an SAT. I took an SAT prep course. Yes, exactly
And they're like circum means this so like if you see that word and there's a definition that has that
I didn't retain a lot because it was right around the time that I got my driver's license
And I had a crush on someone in the class. I see so that's sort of everything went away
Yeah, that ate up a lot of time. Does the word even sound familiar to you? Circum locution. Yeah. No, okay
Yeah, it didn't really ring true to me either
But just to give you a hit circum means like to go around that's right. Yeah, it's like circum navigate something
Yes, so circum locution locution. Do you know what locution would be the root? That's I think that's a part that I didn't know
Yeah, look what does locution mean? I think it means like with talking words. Mmm. Oh, yes, you're a very loquacious speaker
Yeah, I think so
So with that in mind, do you want to say to evade unaware to delete material that is forbidden test or uproar?
Yes, I thought all right wait, so give it to me again. Sorry. It's just I thought you would I thought you were giving me an example
Like for example, here's a word. I didn't know yeah means these things and you just said four things because they all kind of sounded
You're getting mad at me and I accept a sort of like I'll let's eliminate uproar and we read. I'm not mad. I'm stressed
I don't test well. It's 7 30 a.m. On a Saturday
So I'm sorry if I'm not feeling sharp right now and I want to do well in front of Sam
I have to get into fucking Connecticut state and it sounds like I was trying to impress my dad
Who's name is Sam, but that was also the name of the girl that I had a crush on I see that was for the person
I was concerned with on the day to evade
To so it said again to evade
Unaware or to delete material that is forbidden
circumlocution
Evade unaware and delete material that's forbidden. I
Guess evade let's go evade
Correct nice
Savage it
Very good. The new word is to cajole
Cajole that means to like rally people to your cause. Okay, so do you want to say to push into something to delete?
material that is forbidden
Hellbent
Shit to talk into Hillary rotten clinton's emails for example or unintentional
Push into
Whoa, it gave me a red honk. What? Yeah, could you wait? What was it?
What were the options to delete material that is forbidden to push into something? Yeah to talk into something
Oh talk into something. I didn't hear that one because I'm doing this fucking Hillary thing. Oh fuck me. Yeah, that's obvious
Push it. I was using that like metaphorically
Hurwitz, please sit down. Mr. Proctor. I
Beg you to see my side of things
First of all, you didn't even sign up for the the time wasn't actually up. I can go back and fucking fill in another bubble
That's not how the SAT you don't find out as you go along. No. Yeah, this is just a quiz
No, it's just a sample. It's just a quiz to you
But I have a perfect fucking verbal score 660
Doesn't get better than that and did I mention my reading comp was poor
Do appreciate
Okay
Unceasing no to expose the falseness of no to lessen in value. Yes nailed it
Ameliorate
Yes, you know that means yeah
So to improve is one of the options. Okay to make like new again. Mm-hmm to send or thrust with great vigor
To rebuke or remonstrate at length
Um
So what are the first two to improve? Okay, and to make like new again. I guess
Improve yeah, it's weird because both of them sort of sound like you're making yeah
But I'm not trying not to take things like metaphorically like I did with push into nailed it nice, but I digress
Yes, the next word is digress very good uproar. Yes to talk into something. That's right to pacify right
Straight from a desired topic. I think it's that one final answer last
That's correct on my SATs
I filled out every bubble because I figured they would just scan for their bubble that was like correct
That's smart, and I got a perfect score. That's interesting. I went to Berkeley. Yeah, and then I got there
I'm like, okay, what a risk time to sort of go that actually does you deserve to get into college
The scantrons in college were different and I failed out right yeah, I said every yeah
You deserve to get into college for being that smart
But then you deserve to be kicked out for kind of relying on that that actually kind of did happen to me in high school
I'll fess up now since hopefully the statute of limitations is over but in ninth grade our teacher would
Use like for the tests every chapter would just use the teachers edition test
So like somebody like just got a teacher's edition of the book like this is every test in every answer
I'm like, all right great. I'll just read it memorize the answers and literally like
Put it down and get a few wrong on purpose to throw it off. Yeah smart
But literally cheating textbook definition of cheating but got an A in like world history
Wow, but everyone who got an A in that maybe it was us. Oh, no, it was world history
Everyone who got an A in that class got bumped up to AP US. Oh, you got punished for it
Then I took AP history and like that was really dense really hard. There was no teachers thing
It was like essays or you had to actually what you get that year. I think I got like a b-minus one of my worst grades
So, yeah, can my high school take away my diploma for fessing up to cheating. Yes, okay
Berate and they're here. No way. That's right. Milken Jewish Academy principal Rubel. Holy shit. How'd you know?
I was here. I thought you retired 21 years ago
To berate, okay to replace no to rebuke
To soothe no and to play side-by-side. Oh, okay. I thought it was gonna be so I guess it's rebuke
It's rebuke. That's correct. Okay a grand eyes
Okay to make big mm-hmm wise
mm-hmm
Unceasing mm-hmm, and finally to make like new again
To make big a grand eyes. That's right self a grand eyes thing. That's right. That's why I knew it
Destitute poor and you're poor for asking me that question utterly impoverished. Mm-hmm
Didn't even need the other choices. Yes. Here's another circum. Yes circumvent
Circumvent. Yes to restrict. No to overthrow
To entrap no and to praise fuck these all sound like no's read them again to restrict mm-hmm to overthrow
Mm-hmm to entrap slash surround. Oh
And then slash surround you say
And that so it's that one. It's entrap slash surround. It's correct
Wow, that's really not what I thought circumvent meant. I thought it was like you could circumvent the rules
Yeah, I guess that's getting around the rules right go around right thing. Okay?
botch
Huh?
botch what you call me botch
To make ineffective or invalid to make new again
Removing hard words
unaware
To restrict with chain or to ruin
botch is ruined last last one. Yeah, I know a lot of these words. I hear someone that I might not know
don't
D a unt scare to send or thrust with great vigor. No
To
Very thin or waisted away. Mm-hmm. No, that's gaunt trying to trip me up useless
Mm-hmm, and lastly to discourage or intimidate
That is the one to daunt. I know when something is daunting, but I've never said he daunted me. Yeah, I will daunt you
Yeah, do I don't you sire? Absolutely daunted
Blatant
That one's pretty easy. Yeah, too easy to praise to pacify
Offensively stated or to make big or to increase. I guess offensively stated
That's correct
assuage
For a long time I pronounced this as a wash
Because it kind of said
Assuage sounds like what it is to like reassure. I thought it was to put a sausage in your ass
Instead of a sausage, it's an ass is that is that an option? I know it's not
I know it wouldn't be right, but I want to know if they put that in there to throw a student off
It's not on here to sooth is on here though. That's to send her to us by doing what?
Great vigor and thrusting with what to restrict with chain or shackle or lastly
To stick a sausage in your ass. I didn't read that one D
Or totally offensively stated. Let's go with sooth to soothe a swan. That's correct
Oh, this one's easy to censor
Come on. Yeah to delete material that is forbidden. Nice very thin
Ridicule or to rub hard a
What to rub a hard this test is hot?
Yes
Deviate
Mm-hmm. Maybe this SAT is easier than we thought. Yeah, it's a lesson in value to expose
Unlucky or to turn aside from the established ways
D turn aside from the established ways
I would have a hundred percent if it wasn't for that fucking push into something first talk into something that's right
I obviously knew what it was. Yeah, like anyone that listening would be like Jake's gotten a perfect score a
Vow
Huh, that's the word a vow correct
To ruin. No to kick out. No to state. Mm-hmm or willful damage
See to state to be true
A vow. Yes, that is correct
Here's an interesting one. I have now I have a perfect score
there's only four quite a
Words left on this quiz. All right, this one's kind of interesting. Yeah, Brooke
Br. Oh, okay. Oh like Brooke a deal
Utterly impoverished. No to put up with
Unfriendly or a villain
Hmm, I wouldn't know this one
Brooke brook, it'd be weird to name your kid Brooke if the answer is unfriendly or a villain
Yeah, wait, so all right, so it's not impoverished. What's the one after that to put up with hmm or tolerate? I
Brook him. Yeah, I think it's that one
Do you brook with him? Yeah, I feel like I've heard that like we they brook a deal or they brook something I
Should say it's spelled B. Oh
RKE
uzx
So it's not a word
Okay, so you're going with to put up with what's the one after that
Unfriendly because you have a perfect score on the line
I hate for you to guess wrong at this juncture. No, I'm gonna go put up with
Correct
Good news the next one's a normal word instead of a word you've never heard of condone. Oh, yeah, allow
Very thin. No unceasing. Mm-hmm to approve. Yes. Okay
Deride
Utterly impoverished no to surround mm-hmm to gather mm-hmm or to ridicule that one D. Correct and oh
95% what the fuck you know, I have a hundred percent, you know, I have a hundred percent you did the rotten
You really did the rotten. I missed one of the fucking clues. All right, let's go
Let's take a break and come back with some harder words finally kick it up a notch
Thank you to Helix sleep for sponsoring this episode of our show. Hell, yes

Become the doctor of the mattress. Yes, sir

And we're back
Mm-hmm. All right. I hoping that was like an intro too and that the words will get pretty insane starting now
Okay, let's do it
20 more questions 20 more words
You have a 19 or 20 depending on whether you want to give yourself leniency for that
I have a 20 my score is perfect
Fucking listeners know the word is fidelity. Oh
Loyalty yes, okay
correct
the word is
germane
Germain I remembered this one was either on my SAT or on a practice SAT because I remember there was a quarterback
Name Joe germane. I'm like, oh, this is how I'll remember what this word meant. Oh, no, or I didn't know something about the word germane
Yeah, is
Reminiscent to my actual high school days see if you remember, but I don't remember. Oh
Perception after something happens
relevant
regret
We're not serious
ooh
So it's relevant or not serious. I
Think those are the two options for me. I think I know what it is now now that I said it
It triggered something in me. I feel like that's germane. Like, you know, you that's what you can hear. That's your main
That's a German main think of it that way. Oh fuck. I don't know. This is this is a shot in the dark
Let's go not serious. I think it's relevant
It's relevant
There goes my 660
No, man, you're still like it's seven I did at this point
Actually, remember in verb when I was doing practice SATs
You can get some wrong and verbal and still get an 800 really because that's how little people get it all correct
Wow, if you got one or two wrong, we'll still give you the 800
That's awesome, but in math if you get one or two wrong, it's over. There's too many people getting every single one, right?
Jesus flagrant is
The word yeah, we obviously know this one means we need to go to the next one
Native possible out in the open or puzzle see
Out of the open
That's correct. And the germane one is relevant. It is germane to this conversation
Flippant hmm
Yeah, that that one's like not serious. That's the glib. That's right. Yeah, it's not serious one of the options
Yeah, I was that that was correct
Lax
As in I'm being lax about this test. I actually care a lot not strict. Yeah, that's correct
impromptu
Okay, it's funny which SAT words we use during the course of a day
Yeah, like some of them are all with the time I say impromptu and then some of them germane
I just haven't heard in 20 years, right? Yeah, no, it's like you just got a hope to get lucky or some of them are definitely in our
vocab in the spur of the moment
outward appearance quiet or reserved
number one a on the spur of the moment that's correct moment guys
Nice outward appearance of the dress
picky
regretful
Perception after something happens
Hey outward appearance that was not even me thinking I was just saying a for a really long time the answer is B
I really know is outward appearance
glut
Forget everything you know about gut. This is glut glut overwhelming outdated
Overfilled or occurring at irregular intervals
Let's go over filled because I feel like glutton is correct. All right good. Oh, here's an interesting one insurgent
Insurgent an insurgent. Is it practical? Mm-hmm mysterious? Mm-hmm persistent or rebellious
Rebellious just like the insurgency. Yes, and now we know yes, exactly. That's why it's called you were there
You stormed the capital
How fucked up is that?
On January 6th, I saw you
I was on CNN and I could have sworn to see the camera swung around you pretended like you were a reporter
But you did have a MAGA hat on I
Was dressing up as an OAN and newscaster
All right, here's one. I don't know. Mm-hmm. You're gonna have to buckle in. Let's do it leconic
leconic
I've heard that word before right so is it reserved? Mm-hmm. Is it peculiarity of temperament?
Hmm. Is it overly submissive? Mm-hmm, or is it persistent? I think it's
It's either a or C. It's reserved or overly sub I think it's overly submissive
overly submissive, I think so
It's reserved oh
I can get it down to those two though. Okay. Hell now. I'm zeroing in on the 660
indigenous
Yeah, I know this one native. Yes, of course
Here's a tough one
euphonious
euphonious
EU
PHONI
This is one you can maybe
Deconstruct and sort of figure out the roots. Yeah euphonious
Pleasant sounding. Mm-hmm. That's the one. Yeah, that's correct
The phone is make it's that that's the noise anything for you. Oh, yeah. Yeah
It's good that you can sort of figure it out. Yeah, I can sort of figure all of them out
Not when it's like Brooke. I actually did for your honor. I didn't get leconic. I didn't get
Germain. Yeah, Germain in congruous
It's like inconsistent. They don't add up so practical. No wait a minute. Mm-hmm loyalty. No, no, we're not fitting together
perfection
This is interesting
Gad about
Gad about like a Josh Gad who goes about yeah, like a Gad about town
Yeah, a puzzle or a mystery on the spur of the moment. No relevant
Or one who flits about to social activities. That's gotta be about is in there. Yeah. Yeah
And that's what Gatsby is from
idiosyncrasy. Mm-hmm ornate. No mysterious
peculiarity of temperament
Harbinger ooh
That's like an omen something that's that's hinting at something to come so predictor. Yes
That's correct
Interesting. Here's a weird one garbled garbled. Yeah, that's like muffled. That's right mumbled or mixed up. Yes, I
Say garbled sometimes
Maudlin
Maudlin
That's kind of like Charlie Chaplin style theater
That's correct
Maudlin out in the open
possible
opposing forces or
overly sentimental
ooh
Maudlin
That is like a theater term. Isn't it Maudlin? I thought it was maybe it is and I just don't know
So it's tell me out in the open. I'm afraid I can't repeat the choices
This were a test I'd be looking at the words over and over again. Of course you can repeat them up the open
possible
opposing forces or
overly sentimental
That's really I would narrowing it down to I
Mean, I think that it's I think it's just because my gut has been like that. It's some kind of like performative thing
I it feels like it's out in the open or overly sentimental, but then also opposing like Maudlin
Does kind of sound like opposing forces to you can phone a friend if necessary
Who would I call anybody in your phone?
I
Could call my mom
Would she know she would but I think she might be teaching her English class. Yes, that she was teaching
advanced
After-school English class right now for gifted writers. Wow. Yeah, that sounds
So she's kind of cool actually for this and she's teaching right around now. She
What time is it?
Yeah, she's she teaches from two to six call the school
Call the school and say something terrible. Yeah, I don't know what model it means
Happened in my upbringing. What about your dad? He
Probably would I guess he would know cuz they're just both really smart. Yeah, it seems like crossword puzzle adjacent and he'd be good at that
Yeah, so
Give me the choices one more time out in the open. No possible
opposing forces and overly sentimental I
I'm just gonna go with
Not my gut and do something dumb and say opposing forces
Incorrect it's overly sentimental. That was the gut. Oh
Yes, and I took great joy in that I know yes, I wanted to see you fail
Yes, I know you got
90% on that which I guess out of 20 is what?
18 18 or 20 really like I'm more wrong than that. Yeah, okay pretty good. We got one last one
I'm gonna try to find a hard-ass one for you. All right

Yes, it means overly sensitive
Which I am not because I don't care about this test because I know I have a good vocabulary and I don't need a

If I right now
Enter an outcast is the correct answer without you reading the next three. Yeah
That's correct
Sench
Cententious
Cententious
Senches s e n t e n t i u s
Cententious cententious
Don't know this one beggar
careful
brief
Or a branch of a tree I
Guess it would be it sounds like careful because it's like sensitive and cautious. Yeah, like contentious is close
But not quite. Yeah, I thought it was gonna be something with sentience. Yeah, which is like what? Yeah
Yeah, I'll think the thing careful or cautious
Wrong it's brief or concise
Since sent consentious sententious
Brief it's like a sentence. It's like relating to a brief brief sounds brief cententious is not cententious. Yeah. No fuck
Recalcitrant that's a classic vocab word that we never used but I had to learn like that's one that I
Have heard so many times and I still don't really know what it means. Yeah, I can do with multiple choice recalcitrant
anger
chaos
beginning or
stubborn I
Think stubborn things up to you. It is nice
Magnamious. Oh
Magnanimous magnanimous. I
Love that word because I think I'm magnanimous belief contrary to the norm. No big-hearted. Yeah
And give me back give you back sententious
It's correct I get it back nonchalant. That's a classic. Yeah loud outcry carefree an object of magical power or belief
To be carefree. Yeah, correct
Wrath wrath anger or fury a wrath wrath. Yes, D Ray

Hint of subtle or about to happen
Arrogant it's correct
Reprehensible ooh a person who hates mankind
artistic
Blameable or a loud outcry
Whoa, I don't reprehensible. Mm-hmm a loud outcry blamable
Artistic or a person who hates mankind. I
Would find a person who can't wait mankind reprehensible. Yeah, but it's not that
It's a loud outcry or a great expression of discontent. Oh
Yes, sorry, that's one. Oh a loud outcry
Semi-colon great expression of discontent. Yeah blamable. I see or artistic the expression of discontent that one
It's blamable what?
Somebody's reprehensible. I guess they're blamable interesting. I really thought of it and disgusting or something like that person's reprehensible
Yeah, wow, that's
That shit'll check your
I see you post-mating a burrito focus on the check your burrito
Recrimination
Another word that looks familiar, but I don't know what it means. Yeah, is it accidental? Is it accusing in return?
Is it arousing fear or is it a professional soldier hired by a foreign country?
I think it's accusing in return accusing it like to re-crime so much like you're accusing me
Like I didn't do it. You did it. Yeah. Yeah, that's correct
That's right. Talisman
Talisman an object with magical power
Yes
Walking it in final answer and give me reprehensible back if I don't hear the other three. It was good
Pandemonium
Chaos there it is nailed it nailed it
Pugnacious. Oh, I like that word. That's a good one blunt
argumentative
Accusing or an agent that softened skin. Those are all kind of this except for the last one
It's kind of the same blunt accusing and what was that argument? It's argumentative. That's the one
I think it lines with the most
We kind of already used the other ones
Placid oh
Yeah, this is the part of the SATs where you start going back to the other ones because you're like this one actually nails it
And you're like, I think I guessed this for an earlier one
All right, go ahead. Placid Placid alluring. Mm-hmm able to be formed by pressure. Mm-hmm. Peaceful. Mm-hmm or accidental peaceful. It's correct
Juggernaut cool brief. Mm-hmm outgoing person a massive Forcer object that crushes all in its path

Succinct means sensacious. No, consensus. That's right. So consent brief or concise. Yeah, it's correct
nuance
bitter calm
Artistic or a subtle variation
D
That's correct
prodigy a
Person who lives in solitude an outgoing person visually pleasing or an exceptionally talented child
Correct
virtuoso a
Master in the art of something a person who hates mankind
blessed or holy or one who frequents a place
One who frequents a place. Okay, here we go. No, I was wrong. No, I was obviously reacting to that
Yeah, no a it's where that prodigy and virtuoso are back-to-back like that. Yeah, and then there's recluse
That's one who doesn't frequent a place or that frequents a place, but it's inside a person who lives in solitude. Yes. Okay, that's correct
