sick okay denise i was texting her like this weekend about random things and she was saying we need to do uh it's wednesday my dude's junior in like 20 years from now where it's just we all have to have a child yes come on the show everybody who's on this show they're kids yes so uh get started cory eclair just greg two out real quick me and each so could you please explain to me what that means though because i don't think our content is good for the youth so are they the ones hosting it or are they just like guests on it okay let me break this down for you you ever you ever seen chopped so have you ever seen chopped have you ever seen chopped junior it's the same thing with just kids okay so we're gonna take our kids we're gonna sit in front of

the mic maybe you know maybe i'll post some things on the wall maybe i'll put spunk tank on the wall maybe i'll put some words up there to just you know maybe take them down those roads that we typically go down but it's just gonna be them doing the pot i think it's a great idea i love it i'm all for it it would be hilarious them not knowing what spunk was to describe what spunk take is just to like get a very g-rated version of everything it would be so great as long as rooks is like name is like he's the one putting these in front of children so that way when they buy yeah when the court like reads it back it only says rooks and like we're good i'm gonna just i mean i'll have i'll have the words up and then i'll need the little pointer again and i'll just smack the

words that i want my kid to say like say this shit say it like i'll be like the terrible stage parent yeah yeah probably it'll be on a chalkboard though you can just erase it afterwards no evidence other than like the whole audio file of children talking about whatever we end up talking you can you can edit anything into like you can edit anything in post now and make it sound like people say things you know what i mean deny deny deny that's what happens to our podcast every single week people are editing poor choices of words it's always chopped and screwed man i don't actually have any friends i just have like created a program that does really good ai voices and i've just programmed conversations into this these people don't

actually exist i'm here just talking to myself people that actually robots that'd be great like have you seen the um one of my some of my favorite tweets and like these i haven't seen these in a long time but it's like when people um they have ai write a script for a show or a movie after watching hours of it and stuff like that they're great we just do that with a podcast have just four robots all talking to each other but they all have to be from they all have to be from they all have to be from like completely different like extremes because like they like when when they have them write the script like i'm pretty sure i saw one where it was like it wrote a jersey shore script

but it's after like it's like processed like the dialogue for hours and stuff like that yeah it needs to have a lot of content to actually do it it's like called machine learning we could literally if we could find a free program out there somehow we could put all of our audio files into it and have it do one for ourselves i highly doubt we could actually find a free one but it would be incredible it would just say spunk tank spunk tank spunk tank just over and over again people people people in the 70s right people in the 70s 2020 man that time period we're gonna have flying cars we're gonna be able to time travel we're gonna be able to cure any disease fuck no we're gonna make four robots talk about fucking cum for an hour and a half that's technology man we've come a long way what did you expect though man there's like

dick drawings and like ancient like egypt so like it's just always around there is this our modern era dick drawing yeah yeah easily robots talking about dicks of course no if we had an ai script though and then all four of us could just read it like word for word dude that would be so that's the thing just have it generate the script and then we do like a dramatic reading of it yeah i'm loving this right now like claire could sit in for zach it'd be great you have to bring a lot of crazy energy to it but claire yeah claire wouldn't have to read for zach but it's it's zach's like zach's dialogue yeah, yeah. Exactly. I could try. You would be miserable.

You would be outrageous and you'd be fine. All right. So we're going to make our own, though. If you have your own podcast of four guests to have an AI go through all their dialogue and then have them have a conversation who for people do you want to have an ai podcast on is this like this is like just a like futuristic version of like who would you want to like have dinner with yeah no but like you're not part of it they're making an episode and you just get to listen to it do i get to pick topics or anything are we just throwing four people in they're gonna sit there and hash it out?

It's generated. Jojo Siwa, Joseph Stalin, Elizabeth Warren, and Zach. Yeah, sure. I'll put Zach in there. I had to Google AI. I'm going. I want someone from the olden days. So we're going to do George Washington.

I want to hear his wooden teeth whistle a little bit. You know what I'm saying? Then we're going to throw Conor McGregor in there. I want to hear them two just go at it and just have them throw down for a little bit. Verbally, of course, because I'm... I would like to say that George Washington was probably a badass dude,

but I hope he would get pieced up by a current MMA fighter. Anyway. Pieced up. Then I feel like we got to do someone from in between. So someone in the middle. Let's go like Einstein. Let's go really smart with it. And then fourth person on my pod would be it's a tough one let's see so i

have someone that's a genius i have someone that has whistly teeth um i have a testosterone filled irishman let's go let's go someone really let's go someone really like really stupid let's just go uh let's fuck it let's go zach zach's going on there it's actually my fourth i see a theme coming around on everyone's four i want four zacks on mine it's too much claire who's your four i don't want to go first brian you go well you're going third she doesn't want to go third i'll go third brian you go um one definitely hitler like that's the easy choice you just got to see what ai generated hitler was going to say you just put that at the bottom two though balance out hitler paul rudd how bad hitler was is how good paul rudd is they're going to meet in the middle then keep it neutral just the world's first caveman. He's just going to say

ooga booga in response to everything. Just keep it neutral. It's going to be great. Then, Gandhi. I don't know. Just throw some wisdom in there. I like that. It'll be a good back and forth. I like the idea of every... Even though I didn't do it, but everybody did. The first two

is Jojo Siwa and then a dictator. Okay. Alright. Okay. So into it but everybody the first two is jojo siwa and then a dictator okay all right um okay so i would say i'd have to pick somebody historical i'm gonna go jesus i i don't know you know historical jesus or like accurate middle eastern jesus what was the first one you said white jesus white jesus or actual jesus actual middle eastern jesus what was the first one you said white jesus white jesus or actual jesus actual middle eastern genuine authentic jesus yeah okay and then second she wants a white jesus no no no i don't know even what she does but no i don't want her uh kind of like jesus okay the white girl one yeah uh all right no middle eastern jojo siwa i don't think all right so jesus the real one and maybe an actor i don't know i like ryan reynolds popped into my head. That would be interesting. Yeah. I'd tune into that podcast.

Yeah. And then maybe his wife, Blake Lively. So two actors. Now I'm definitely tuning into the podcast. They seem to have a nice little back and forth. Deadpool and Jesus in the same podcast. Yeah. Yeah. And I actually just saw that movie for the first time not too too long ago so yeah

passion of the christ i watch that every year passion no white devil just rambo and then i need one more um maybe someone i know realistic i'm gonna go my friend sarah you guys don't know sarah so maybe that's a little you know tricky but i've met her i think she'd be good for the mix she was one of our first listeners big bachelor fan that's true that's true actually shout out on the spotify wrap up whatever the five podcast she we were like uh number three yeah you're right let's go baby thank you yeah we've sent you some invisible merch five podcast she we were like uh number three yeah you're right let's go baby shout out thank

That was a huge fucking slap in the face. We weren't, no, we weren't saying you're a change of pace because you're a beach stripper. We were saying you're a change of pace because you have a penis. Like, purely, you're there for girls to strip and then there's a guy

around each night oh you shadow somebody yeah like i am an intern i'm genuinely an intern got it you're a bitch yeah that's great that's perfect just following a stripper and he like goes right before the show it gets her like starbucks like gets her coffee order like comes in in the back room goes through her meetings for the week. All right, so you have a dance at one. Put her tips in her apron. Eventually you intern to get experience in that. Am I interning this to eventually be a dancer?

What's going on here? That's up to you. Just like most internships, you have a project at the end that you work on the entire time you're an intern so you're working on your moves and then like the last week of your internship your time to shine they bring out like the ceo to watch the presentation and everything it's like have you ever always sunny when mac does his uh does his dance at the jail cell that's what

you get to do that's your end of the year year project. I'm genuinely just picturing now, not me mopping in the private room, but me sitting there with a clipboard and like ballpoint pen, just like, okay. So then she swung her leg over his shoulder. Okay. And then after that, okay.

Pants still on. Okay. Got it. Got it. Right hand on the thigh. Okay. Check. Okay.

Like, what am I? You know, or am I learning a really good private dance brett farr you're out there just x's and o's got a whistle how did brett farb get involved what how does john madden quote dude brett farb definitely went to his fair share of uh strip clubs i mean in his wrang, you think? Or Levi's? Real, comfortable Janes.

Oh, goodness. Alright, so are we going to get to know our guest today? Well, yeah. So it sounds like Rooks' last week when he was gone, his internship went well. I'm also here. I'm Brian. And like always, we... what are we talking about

this week claire's a topic and we're gonna grill her hot like usual whenever every guest we have but first we go through our weeks so rooks what happened yeah it was a pretty pretty decent weekend um your boy my uh my roommate had the coco so i was big time quarantine boy all week which was a whole lot of a whole lot of hulu and netflix um and then test came back negative your boy was ready to get after it a little bit saturday had a little bit of me time went and saw spider-man by myself oh my god great flick thank god i was wearing a mask in the theater because your boy got emotional at some point and it was just like the tears just flowed directly under the mask so it doesn't look like i'm just like crying by myself in a movie theater which like hey even

if i was fuck it but like helps with the image you know um and then after that your boy went to a concert went and saw zed's dead they were great we had a table and it was like i've never had a table service at like a concert venue so it was like kind of sweet and i felt a little uh bougie hated the venmo i had to send out today for it but like hey we deal with it as it comes but um but yeah is the concert like boring being at a table though like i feel like you're like not part of the crowd so how like yes it's you're not like in the shit which is like something something that i do enjoy at times but other times especially during you know covet i'm not like too yeah right now too pressed to get into the middle of shit but it's like there's an open floor venue there's

open like floor and then above it on on like the outskirts of it is like um like a balcony like overhang the entire way and then the tables look down onto the floor and the stage so it's not like you're still at the show you're just kind of like elevated and then we have like a big enough group that we're all like dancing and shit anyway that's true big group plenty of videos of me just hunched over there's like a little there's a table in front of us as well there's like a couch your boy was just bent over twerking like multiple times during the show i had a great time um but overall overall pretty solid time you know not not too many complaints had a pretty chill week and then revved into some zed's dad so that was good i'm gonna give... I'm going to give it one laser show, you know?

They had some really cool visuals. I was like, pew, pew, pew. Love it. Corey, how was your week? It was good. So just to bring it up now, Claire and my week recap might coincide a little bit um but we went out thursday to dinner a cafe du jour in pittsburgh and we went with her parents because we were celebrating grad school congratulations

claire congrats we did it obviously bomb dinner cafe du jour uh had some drinks afterwards and we got our first big snowstorm where claire and i almost well we didn't almost get stuck but claire's car was stuck for three days at my house because i live on a 45 degree incline so we were supposed to go get her an automatic car starter couldn't do it because the car couldn't even go up a hill so that was a big sad guy that was not in the cards and then saturday we went to claire's cousin's wedding congrats tim and margaret i know you're listening huge fans huge huge fans and uh we went i went to my first ever latin mass which was uh different do not recommend uh it was lengthy but what i will say is i've i've you know i've been going to church

for years maybe not every sunday but i try to think of like little things to pass the time think of my week think of things you know and pray and all that stuff yeah I was like pray but I mean prepping in years past this kind of helped they gave you like a little pamphlet and it had like the Latin side and the English side so I was trying to not learn Latin but I was trying like it was a fun game to like catch up and try to find it I found it couple times. I found where we were at in the two-hour mass. It was pretty fun. Then went and celebrated afterwards, and then Sunday was like a lazy, lazy, lazy day,

which was very much needed. I will rate my weekend one Jesu Cristo, which is Jesus Christ in Latin. I'm impressed. And Feliz Navidadice navidad we could all figure that out brian i'm not even really 100 sure but i saw jesu cristo and i'm gonna assume that's jesus christ so if it's wrong i guess i didn't learn anything you're right you got it i took latin in like fifth grade so hell yeah yep why i don't know i went to catholic school that's just what i had to do one year that's what it is not like definitely pointless but i mean you know i picked up jesus christ uh jesus christ in latin

jesus christ and cory said it better than me so one year is equal to one two-hour Latin Mass. Yeah, it was a long one. It was lengthy. I also passed that time with comparing the English to the Latin. The game. So, board game now? Claire, how was the rest of your week? Claire, how was the rest of your week claire how's the rest of your week my week it was good um as cory said i had a wedding i was actually a bridesmaid in that wedding

so i was front and center for this latin mass which i have never been to so are you standing for the whole thing no or just no okay mostly kneeling i was gonna say sore knees oh yeah that doesn't help yeah and the um the pew that the bridesmaids were in did not have a kneeler you know how like churches each pew has a kneeler yes yeah so the i was in the front row with the rest of the bridesmaids like bridal party and there was no kneeler so i was just on like concrete and i felt i had no excuse to like you know sit rather than kneel so i just had sweaty palms and got through it but fuck they didn't give you guys like knee pads or anything no protective gear what is this i don't think anyone really realized until we were just kneeling for like two full hours but i feel i'll just go like crisscross

applesauce at a certain point just call it a day i mean again i know but there were like pregnant people kneeling old people kneeling i was like if they can do it i have literally no excuse so i just stayed put and i mean i was shaking and sweating and it sucked but made it through um yeah yeah but then the party afterwards pretty fun you know can't complain i'd say it was a you know it was a de-sweating anyway um high praise deez nuts cory was there with me which was the best part but um i know it wasn't this week but i went to the stealer game last monday and that was my first sellers yeah playoffs first stealer game ever first nfl game ever what yeah she lived in pitch Pittsburgh your entire life.

She went to one preseason game, but her first Steelers game ever is Big Ben's last home game. Yes. That's insane. So it was crazy. Loved the energy. We played the Browns, right? Did we play the Browns? Yeah.

Played the Browns. Kind of like nasty fans. Not going to lie but um it was fun it was a lot of fun at one point this guy so yeah it was ben's last game and there was a browns fan sitting behind me and my friend sarah and um the whole entire game i mean he was definitely hammered but he just kept saying chanting thank you seven ben's number is seven he just kept saying thank you seven we love you seven i mean he was like so obnoxious like really being annoying anyway he uh dropped his cell phone onto like the level that i

was sitting in right under my chair and i knew he did but he was being so fucking annoying that i just like pretended i didn't know it was there then like 10 minutes later he tapped on my shoulder and he was like hey uh do you mind getting my cell phone for me i think it fell under your chair and i was like yeah it did and i was like yeah i will get it for you if you can tell me that you will shut your mouth and stop saying that like believe me i am not i am not the biggest stealer fan ever or football fan or sports fan like i can play a fan on tv but you know anyways so he was like i mean like i'll go to the games i'll cheer monday night football she's on tv she could pretend

to be a terrible towel around but yeah she looks convincing if they were like panning over the crowd yeah but i'm not gonna kill myself when they don't make playoffs anyway but they did so anyway he was like all right so like i i might stop you know chanting or saying that and i was like no you have to tell me that you will and he was like all right all right all right i will he was like this like 21 year old boy like definitely a little idiot anyway picked up his phone gave it to him and he shut his effing mouth the whole rest of the game so hey that's justice baby way to put your teacher pants on claire yeah yeah good old-fashioned little ultimatum there i respect it how would you rank your

said weekend um um one oh i don't know i don't really understand your guys's scale i don't know how you understand it it's so clear it's there is absolutely no scale you don't know how you couldn't understand it it's so clear there is absolutely no scale you don't have to do one thing out of another thing it can just literally be whatever you want 10 out of 10 Steeler fans that's lovely great job 100%

The other one's rich. And the girls don't know which one is which. And it's great because like there's like three or four girls who like openly are like, yeah, I'm just trying to find who's the rich one. And that's all I'm going for. And then all the other ones like play it sort of normal.

The host of the show, like Chris Harrison, or we don't talk about him anymore, is just just like alfred pennyworth like batman butler it's great he wears like the whole like suit down to his like feet and he has like a british accent and like gray hair incredible and then the contestants on the show didn't know what the concept was they just thought it was like a dating show so like i don't know if you showed up to a show and they're like yeah one of these guys is like a billionaire he'd be like shoot stakes got way higher right now so i'm hooked or you fall for a guy for his personality i mean so like the rich guy might be more attractive than like the non-rich guy so i kind of feel bad um but like the non-rich guy when it's like quote unquote he like also owns a company and is like in construction but he's like owns a construction company oh no i have two good options i feel like those are the richest people out there i know that's why i'm very confused by it but i don't know whatever it's better than being like all right this guy's homeless and this guy is Jeff Bezos in like you have to figure out

Corey, start us off. Claire, if you had to drink liquor out of a brown bag, who would you drink with and what liquor would you choose? Okay. Who would I drink with and what would I choose? Yeah, what liquor? Why do I have to drink it out of a brown bag? It's part of the game.

Let's just, yeah. Okay. It's because I asked the question. Tito's vodka. Okay. And who are you drinking with? I'll let you pick two. Wait a minute.

I've been here before. Is it Rooks? Hey, it's your answer. There's no right answer here. It's your answer. But there is a right answer. I think it's Rooks. And I'll give you one more.

If you want to throw JoJo Siwa in, she's still up. Megan Bailey. There it is. There she goes. My girl. That actually came to me so naturally. Wow. I'm honored, honestly.

It's not like we set you up or anything. Okay. All right. So, Claire, I don't know if you know this. I ask the hardest-hitting questions on this podcast, okay? The hardest-hitting questions, and I need answers, okay? Uh-huh. Uh-huh.

First question. So, like, I got, like, these, like, moccasins, right? And I've been wearing them without socks as like slippers. But like they get like I've worn them for so long and they get like kind of smelly. Like how do you clean moccasins? Like you can't throw those in the wash, right? Do you have them on you? No, no, they smell too bad.

Are they brown suede leather? Yes. You can wash but not dry. Okay, well, that doesn't sound like it's going to work. Yeah, it will. Is there any way to get the stink out? Well, okay. Baking soda is a great odor remover.

Baking soda. Yep. I would start with that. Sprinkle a little bit in there. Shake them out. Throw them in the washer with some Tide, but do not put them in the dryer oh okay when you originally said it i thought you meant i could physically wash them but they would never dry and i was like well that doesn't sound very effective and that's why i said yeah that's not gonna work okay but i did have a second option so you're welcome hey i appreciate

that thank you yeah yeah yeah i mean yeah advice yeah stinky shoes suck i get it yeah this is my boy stinky shoes yep yep all right claire who is your first ever crush in life not a celebrity easy human yeah real life e call him out by name let the world now okay i feel like it was a little later in life to be honest but uh okay first ever in life yes the one that popped in my mind was the best crush but not the first the one that it's our resident anchor cory myers everybody that's not what she's gonna say no no no it wasn't no it actually wasn't okay so my very first crush um like some

boy in catholic school but my first like guy that i was like oh my gosh i love him was this guy in high school i was a freshman and he was a freshman, and he was a senior, okay? And he had long hair. Like, I'm talking, like, Jesus length. He wasn't white or was he Middle Eastern? He was white, but he was tan, like, olive skin. He was white Jesus, but could play Middle Eastern Jesus in the school play. He could, and he actually was in

musicals so yeah um nice not only could he would yeah pretty much anyway he um i was in the marching band i was a nerd he also too was in the marching band as a nerd and he was the drum major i don't know if you guys know what a drum major is but like they're the ones who stand and they like direct the whole band so that was who he was whenever i was a freshman and i just thought he was the best thing since sliced bread anyway massive crush for like a full i don't know 20 years yeah his name was jake. Shout out Jake. Thanks for listening. Shout out Jake. He's married with kids now, so whatever. Hey, thanks for still listening.

The one that got away. Multiple speed bumps, not a stop sign. Corey, sounds like you gotta grow out your hair, man. I'm not trying to be 8th grade me. Just wear a hoodie around all day. Kind of funny though though a fun fact about

this crush was that whenever i was like a um it was later yeah because i was a freshman he was a senior but later on in my freshman year he was like missing from school for a long time and i was like where is my boyfriend was he lost in the desert for 30 days but i like was so cute i was like where is he anyway i found out he smoked so much weed he like smoked that what i heard was he smoked a hole in his esophagus and he was like in the hospital yeah anyway he came back and was fine but like would you say that was the type of guy i was after would you say it was on the third day that he came back to high school? Oh, yes. Yeah, how long was he? Yeah.

Came out of the tomb on the third day, yeah. Yeah. It wasn't Jake. It was the resurrected version. Yeah, yeah, yeah. New name, new name. That's called The Second Coming, but yeah. This man's out here just chewing on blunts, dude.

Like, what are you doing? Yeah, like, who knows what the actual story is, but that was what I was told as a, I don't know how old freshmen are 16 17 year old freshman like 14 or something right definitely not definitely not 17 yeah never mind actually my sister is a sophomore i think and she's 16 so yeah 15 14 i don't know claire was held back a few grades it's fine honestly yeah probably i was but all right on the topic of your siblings then claire when we first started dating i would have you power rank your siblings during the in the week you know i remember one through seven uh it's been a while please power rank your siblings for the record

okay this is uh hard because i know which ones listen and which ones don't. If they listen, throw them at the bottom. We don't want them. But you guys, I love you all equally. Catherine is my roommate and my best friend. Catherine also listens. She is number one. Mary is...

Can I have two as one? No. Some people are going to get upset. That's the way it is. If you had twins in your family, maybe we would have allowed it. But you do not. I feel like I want everybody to be in first place. That's not the game.

So... Oh my gosh okay i'm gonna say katherine is one she is my roommate mary is two julia is three and it makes me sad to put her below first place get fucked julia sorry i just get excitedarless. She's a 16 year old. Oh, gosh. Next would have to be Tom. Tom is my brother, who is a freshman in college. Good boy, Tom. Not a boy.

Tom and Corey love each other. This is true. Next, I would have to go Dave. Dave. Davey. Dave and I just, yeah, I don't know. We have a nice little bond. Next, I hate to put either of these people last you gotta do it yeah i know uh

pull the band-aid off i'm gonna put joe seventh or sixth whatever next didn't see you coming i know i know but he's been pretty good lately and he hasn't stressed my parents out a ton. So. Always good. And then last would be Pat, my oldest brother. But I just so sad. Is Pat the one that we played pong with? Yeah, exactly.

Pat needs to be up on this list. I know. This is why, like, what an unfair question question i'll be sure to send the link to this episode to all of your family please don't know no i think i i no don't don't do it for the record i would like to say pat was number one on my ranking list but it's fine know. He was so fun. Rooks. All right. Please go. Power rank her siblings. All right. So, again, I come with the hard hitters, okay?

So, Claire, I've been on, like, TikTok recently, and I've been seeing people, like, this, or, well, I guess it was one TikTok I saw today. It's been making me rethink everything. So, like, when dudes wear sneakers, right, if they wear, like, no-show socks, is that, like, a problem? Is that a turnoff?

What are your thoughts on, no show socks he's like i'm not gonna fucking wear khaki shorts and white adidas and then wear white half calves like i'm fucking i'm fucking like an 11th grader again and i'm wearing sperrys with this shit like no like i'm gonna fucking wear no show socks like what's the right move there all right so i actually for the first time today just saw a tick tock trolling guys who do that and that was the same one yeah and i didn't even know those existed so because they don't show you wear them rooks yeah i wear them that's why i'm asking my whole world is crumbling beneath my feet. Beneath your no-show feet. Okay, but I do have a question for you.

Yes. What? Oh, hot seat back to back. So what is the difference between the no-shows and just like the little ankle socks that boys wear? I don't like the ankle socks because they just look like kind of funky. Okay. little ankle socks that boys wear i don't like the ankle socks because they just look like kind of funky like i don't like the ankle socks would be like right above my ankle but the no-shows are like right below and they don't really show you know what i mean yeah yeah that's fair people see in my socks it's like underwear from my feet dog like i don't know people seeing that um those i personally is it a turn off no number one I don't really care what socks you wear.

Number two, I'd rather that than you are stinking up your shoes, wearing bare feet. Facts. Exactly. To prevent seeing any socks. So, no, I mean, the fact that they exist, I think that that's cool. And fuck that TikTokiktok i appreciate you i would split tito's in a brown bag with you any day of the week it's almost like we've done it i'm just gonna call it out right now rogues two for two on foot questions getting a little creepy you better switch it up for option three it went straight to my it's what my day has been today okay my feet smell like shit and i saw this tiktok that's

fucking up my wardrobe right well it's like the tiktok algorithm could smell your feet exactly that tiktok was so stupid because it's like how many different types of socks exist for men so why are those ones that people are shitting on that's what i'm saying wait so to clarify they don't like like half caps no no she was so this chick was like the most like like warranted ick i've ever gotten or some shit like that yeah it was literally like no show socks or like she got the ick from somebody for no show socks and then i looked at the comments and like it was like 50 50 like some people were like what the fuck like why do you care about this and then other people were like i know they're fucking awful i was like i don't know what to do girls are shallow just keep wearing

your little socks thank you i appreciate that no sock shaming over here exactly let's get back into it okay claire bang mary kill ron hermione harry ron hermione harry okay this is good because cory has made me watch a lot of harry potter lately especially whenever i was ill with covid okay so bang mary kill those are the options mary harry kill ron bang hermione i guess we'll accept that answer we'll accept it that is the best answer that was kind of easy okay yeah you could i don't know ron's kind of annoying and that i don't know if you guys have seen that tiktok with that girl who like has that ridiculous harry potter at corny do it rooks do it right now i'm not doing it don't

i need a cue but yeah oh my god Not me! Not Hermione! You! Just made me hang on. I am so sorry. Alright, Claire. Incredible. Good answer, thank you. Claire. You have to use this one,

one of these words, so you can pick one of these words out of three options I'll give you. You have to use it every day for the rest of your life in a sentence in public with people. You can't just wake up and say it.

Your three words are moist, masticate, masticate, and cream. What does masticate mean? It's like chewing, right? Yeah. I would pick moist. Easy.

That was with authority right there yeah can i ask i mean i don't like it but it would be the easiest okay cream is like number one a noun and like how often are people if you're being disgusting i don't know i i say a lot of nouns during my day i don't know what the noun had to do with it yeah i don't know so cream i mean no it's out masticate i just learned what it meant and it sounds disgusting you know that's a very fair response on masticate i'll take that one i don't know i i understand people's ick with it but i don't know what my problem is it doesn't bother me as much so moist there we go and a lot of things can be moist i suppose there it is there she goes yeah i don't know i'm just thinking like i think it would just be the easiest to just get out of the way with a stranger in public i'm gonna tell you what if you were to pick masticate i would have lost my mind because good luck trying to say masturbate yeah sounds way too close to masturbate people would like miss here and cream like like okay i

mean i guess some people call like lotion cream like can i have some hand cream so that could be easy british thing yeah the like sunscreen's called cream you like right right literally just putting sunscreen on them so that might actually be the easiest but i don't know just to entertain you all i would say moist is my word of choice hey we appreciate that all right rooks all right ask your foot question i'm just gonna also i'm just gonna say my answer would not have been moist and it wouldn't have been masticate all right anyway so my question so this is my last one this is always this is always my home run swing here for you so you're in an arena you have waves of 10 10 year olds coming to kill you okay their only job their

only purpose in life is to come kill you you kill all 10 of them and then another wave of 10 year olds comes in like immediately after how many waves do you think you could realistically kill and let's let the people know that claire is a caretaker in life as a special education teacher so i've got this question a lot we've gotten zero as an answer yeah i'm starting to keep track of these two so i'll post a leaderboard at the end of the year i truly don't think i could get through one if even hey i think that's a family kind of a nasty age i mean 10 years old do you realize how like big those kids can be claire do you realize how strong i am come on yeah we need claire on this podcast every fucking week yeah do you realize how soft their skulls still are come on they're not babies they're literally not babies just pressing their

than being infants they're closer to puberty than anything just press their soft spot no soft spots gone no c heart. Press their hard spot. It'll be gone. No. 10 years old. Those kids are rough. What grade is that? I was 10 in 2003, third grade.

Yeah. Like, ew. No. Bro, I was 65 pounds in third grade. One wave. Do I have weapons or just my hands? Your fists. Only fists.

Yeah. Like, if I make it through one, it's a miracle. All right. How many kids, then, out of 10, can you make it through? I don't know. I'd say seven. Like, I think I get close. It's not the top or half. It's respectable. Yeah. Like, I definitely get close, but I don't know. I'd say seven. Like, I think I get close. She's at the top, perhaps. It's respectable.

Yeah, like, I definitely get close, but I don't know. And this is if I don't feel bad for hurting these children. No, you don't. No, you would never. We know you would. All right, cool. Yeah. Okay.

So, Bird, on the leaderboard, you know how, like, when people say, like, an estimated, they have the little squiggly next to the number? Yeah. You do, like, about one for her. No, it's going be it's gonna be zero parentheses seven to like show that it's seven individual kids yeah 10 year olds are brutal they're also as brutal a kick to the face it'll be when you are a kick to the face burn i've seen

you kick a soccer ball there's no way you're making a connection with a kid's head that's trying to kill you there's no shot a 10 year old's body is a lot bigger of a target than a soccer ball i'm just gonna say that no shot and two soccer ball you have to aim to like get somewhere if i'm trying to kick a kid's head off and hit it into a goal might be kind of hard but if all i'm trying to do is just kick it in general there's 10 of them lined up too you kind of just sweep them all at once when did you last see a 10 year old when was the last time you went through your your last wave brian so like every tuesday night i train for this so timber oh wait like these kids can be big and are they all the same size 10 year olds because some 10 year olds are really tiny and

some are like no this isn't we're not we're not mixed bag we're not mixed bag yeah uh if i get through a wave it's a miracle yeah but like even now you'll get a couple like like string bean ones no i don't think it works like that all right you take out the string being one, break his arm in half, rip his bone out, then you use that as a weapon. It's an easy solution. It's actually pretty true, but still no. She's back on board. New number? No, one wave.

Like, one wave. She got three more with that tactic, though. No shot. If it was, like, kindergartartners, like little ones, yes. 100%. But no. 10-year-olds, I don't know if you guys understand. No.

Okay. Ryan. Another question. We have a call-in from Zach. And by call-in, I mean I'm just going to speak it for him. Okay. Zach wants to know, when does it make sense to do bottomless mimosas for brunch? Okay, now I answer.

When does it make sense? I feel like that's a rhetorical. When doesn't it make sense? There it goes. Follow up, though. Do you have to be sober when you show up to work? Would be the only time. I don't...

Probably. The next day well i mean when when is the when is the right time to have bottomless mimosas i think brian's assuming are we limited to just one day of the week i think brian's assuming it's bottomless mimosas brunch brunch on what on what day? It's only offered like Saturday, Sunday, right? How many places are offering it on a Monday? That'd be terrifying. I mean, I don't know. I mean, beats me. I don't know. I need specifics here.

Valid question. I'm fine with the rhetorical. I get it. Zach's follow-up question is, is it smarter to do bottomless bloodies or bottomless mimosas? It's smarter to do bottomless mimosas and here's why do i like bloodies better yes i do but it is like a meal it's like filling so i enjoy a bloody when i am violently hungover and i need a bit of a push and my stomach is empty and I also need liquor so I get a bloody but after one bloody I start to get kind of full sometimes I get two and I'm like

I don't know if I can eat my breakfast with mimosas it's obviously champagne and orange juice. Hopefully not much orange juice. But yeah, I mean, that can really go all day. That's weird. Every single time we do bloody or endless, bottomless mimosas, Claire always asks them to put in a brown paper bag for her. So that's kind of weird. Yep, yep, yep, yep.

For the culture. But no, so when is it appropriate to do bottomless mimosas? I would say I could really be convinced anytime I don't have to go and teach children. And bottomless mimosas versus bottomless Bloody Marys, bottomless mimosas. There you go, Zach. I think he'll agree with that.

Is this our last question? Do you guys have any more after mine? I'm all set. I got all my questions answered. I have one more. Okay. My last question, Claire. Mm-hmm.

If you had to euthanize an animal, which animal and how would you euthanize it? Okay. I don't really like birds. Okay. Love that. Hold on, though. Hold on.

Which bird? I want to ask. I want to ask, Brian. Are you saying all of the species of birds or are you going to pick one? Whichever ones chirp outside my window at like four in the morning. All right, I'll take it. And Claire, how would you euthanize those birds? Sounds like a game show.

Like immediately, I want to say like poison or gas or something like that. Poison or gas. I thought the answer was immediately. That was your response. Immediately. Right away, please. You do it as soon as fucking possible. Promptly.

We'll leave it as Claire's answer is how immediately. I love it. We'll leave it. Thank you, Claire. Of course. Okay. Claire. Mm. Claire. Mm-hmm.

If dogs are man's best friend, what is man's worst enemy? Okay. Can she reuse the birds outside her apartment? Yeah, like I hate those things. Man's worst enemy? But she's not man. I guess we could just say human. Mankind.

Womankind? Progressive? An animal, I would assume. Okay. It's up to you. Could be a plant. If dogs are man's best friend, what are man's worst enemy?

Depression. COVID-19. Yeah, seriously. Lack of oxygen. Barnacles. The heat death of the universe, maybe. Sweaty moccasins. That'll kill you.

Ten-year-olds. Locking in. sweaty moccasins that'll kill you 10 year olds locking in locking in thank you thank you yeah i don't know that that one's a little unclear to me but that sounds good 10 year olds the inevitable 10 waves of 10 10 year olds that will come or waves of 10 year olds i wanted to say cats but that i don't know just popped in my head for no reason i know exactly there are a lot of men who love cats so well hey good job you uh you passed thank goodness thank you thank you thank you proud of you so clear you uh brought us a topic uh for the episode this week didn't you i kind of stressed out about this a little bit hey stressful times we get it i uh i came up with a couple of questions

three questions and brian didn't you say i should give you the one word from each question and then you tell me? Which question we want to do. Yeah. Okay. The first word from a question is soup. Okay. The second is sexy. Put those two together.

And the third is smell. Oh. So. Serial, sexy, smell. I thought you said it was soup. Soup. Oh, shit. Oh.

Oh, I think I know where we're going on that one then. Then I, um. Let's deliberate. First off um if we do smelly i feel like we're going down the route of rooks's feet yeah i don't want that yeah i just if i'm gonna vote i vote to take away the smelly option because okay yo i'm not i'm not gonna lie so i got a text from my barber because I'm getting my haircut tomorrow. What are we doing? He said, don't wear those moccasins. What are we doing?

Sorry. I'm so sorry. Claire brought three questions. She gave us a word from each question, and we will pick one of them to answer based on the word. And the words that she gave, and I'm only going to give you. Soup. Soup. Sexy.

Stinky. And smell. Smell. Sexy. Absolutely sexy. Okay. soup sexy stinky and smell absolutely sexy I doubt that there's no Zach here this week we gotta talk sexy for rooks though sexy could lead to feet conversation as well so just keep that in mind

exactly we'll cross that bridge when we get to it and uh okay so are you ready for me to present you with a question? No. Present. Okay. Please present. We're ready.

Can I take a fiver? Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. 30 seconds on the clock. Okay. What? Wait. Ask the question.

Sorry, Claire. We're being assholes. Go ahead. Go ahead. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay okay got it got it cool all right now can i go yes please yes okay what is the sexiest and least sexy name that you can think of oh easy sweet heat sexiest name no it has to be a name name i can cory it's okay if you don't want to pick mine no i was i was gonna i was trying to figure out the rules here because is it is it any name is it like yeah okay i think any name? Is it like... Yeah. Okay. Any name, but no nicknames don't count. I'm going to go least sexy. If you got like an old woman name,

that's not like Miriam. Gertrude. Gertrude. I've never met a Gertrude. I've never heard of Gertrude. I was just about to say. But like a Miriam. Like a Meredith. And I don't know if this person would ever listen, but Meredith from Penn State, a Miriam. Like, I don't... A Meredith.

And I don't know if this person would ever listen, but Meredith from Penn State, if you listen to this, I'm sorry. I don't think your name's sexy. I just... No, I agree. Anything, like, super old-timey, and then, like, I don't, like... I don't know. A lot of, like, the...

Just, like, your standard... I don't know. I don't like boring names. I don't like boring names. I don't think boring names are sexy. But boring to me is just like... Jane. Yeah, fair. Burn. I don't know.

So, do you guys swipe left on apps, Corey, previous to this relationship, if they have a bad name? Because I 1000%... If I'm dating someone, I can't be like, Hey Bertha name because I 1000% because I can't call someone I can't be like hey Bertha what's up like I just can't do it

I don't name I don't care about unless okay and if for somehow she ever listens to this podcast this person from hinge if you ever listen out people I'm so sorry but this girl's name was Unchata S-U-Ka-n-y-a sakanya

come on like come on and like that's not like not sexy i think that's a very sexy name a little too sexy some may say come on that can't be real right sorry anyone out there's named sakanya like i'm i'm so sorry i just read it and i couldn't i i was lost for i don't know that it would be like if i saw it i would immediately be like but it is one of the factors in there of like when you are swiping if that makes sense like i don't yeah you know like you you put it into the yes if there's another thing where I'm like, and you have a stupid-ass name, see ya. I have a few names on my hit list that are like bad association.

So the second I see these names, I'm like, this person could be perfect and have great pictures. And I'm like, you fucker. and have great pictures and i'm like you fucker i'm never gonna swipe on you and i'm just like anyone named nicole swipe left immediately like i won't even look at like your age that would my sister's name is nicole yeah yeah or amy my mom's name can't do like oh yeah that's too much and it sucks because sucks because Nicole is a very common name for like our generation, too. Amy's not as much, but Nicole or Nikki is everywhere.

And like, can't do it. It's just super weird. My mom's name is also Amy. And I would swipe right. On your mom? Yeah. Do we need to talk about this?'s friendship but all the friendship apps we are close to west virginia but we are not in west virginia if i got on hinge and i'm not on hinge

but if i was still and i got like my dad's name or my brother's names i don't think it would bother me that like i would not be like also have like 12 brothers so if you ruled out every name you'd have nobody i have four brothers and a dad claire do you do you even remember your siblings names all the time it's just too many well my dad and my brother have the same name so that's helpful they made it easy they made it easy yeah um and the others yeah i'm pretty good with uh i i don't like the name britney i feel like I've never met a Britney that's like like I don't know

not bad just like Britney is like I assume because of Britney Spears it's like kind of an annoying girl name I don't know I guess B-Pan but B-Pan is like I call her B-Pan so again big fan of nicknames love them I guess B-Pan. I get that. But B-Pan is like, I call her B-Pan. We call her B-Pan.

So again, big fan of nicknames. Love them. I'm talking to C-Bear right here. But like, yeah. So I guess it's like initial, like when it hits the ears to me, it's like Brittany. I'm like, probably like an annoying person. Then I meet you. You got a nickname.

I never hear Brittany again. It's fine. But like yeah yeah that's fair as a battle with long and uh i'll lock it in now as a uh cute couple thing claire as uh as a good one there you go god gave the listeners what they wanted to hear wow i even gave you permission to not be biased i know but like i don't name's not really a big thing for me i'm not like oh my god like dude just listen to her name like i like like i like and it's just did you just whammy me what the hell was it

did i hit the sides in operation for me sexy name too oh you guys stop interrupting me um anyway no i'm just kidding um but i think for me some sexy names and like oh god sorry sakanya like now i'm like contradicting myself but like i like like like non-american names that end in a's like i don't know what it is like i love all of them like we just go some examples like uh i like like i mean i guess maria does that count yeah maria maria like or not even a like a i like a h2 like i like i love the name like alia like i love like stuff like things like that like i don't know i just i think i think those are always like i think those are always kind of a little sexy, you know what I'm saying? No, names are like not sexy.

I don't know. It's weird. But like there could be like cuter names. I like names that are short. If your name is like a Stephanopoulos, like I'm not going to say your whole name. So it needs to be like short. Like Emily or like Jess. Or like Stephanopoulos. Or like Stephanopoulos.

The fuck? That's my boy. So, okay. If a girl is I don't know, a dime. Beautiful, gorgeous, perfect. Why'd you say that so like really? Like you were like, what if this girl is, let's

say, a dime? Like why'd you say it so like nice that sounded so nice yeah respect but uh and she has a name that you you know don't like gertrude for instance can you get past that uh yeah i like i'll get by it like i'll call her i'll call her what if she wears no shows i'm trying to think of a nickname for Gertrude. G. I just said with the first letter, G. Yeah, just G.

What's good, G? Yeah. G-G. No, no. Gert. That's hard. Yo, it's my girl, Gert. That's kind of tough.

Okay, time out, time out. For Gertrude, couldn't you say, like, Trudy? Yeah. Do you like that name? Fuck, no. I'm sticking with Gert. It's not much better. I like it better than Gertrude. And Gertrude, couldn't you say, like, Trudy? Yeah. Do you like that name? Fuck no. I'm sticking with Gert. It's not much better. I like it better than Gertrude. And Gert.

Gert is not good. Are you kidding me? Just saying Gert's getting me fucking bricked up right now. Gert seems like an off-brand of yogurt, and I don't like it. It sounds like a sex act. Humans in general are just off-brand yogurt dog yeah you try hey you're trying to girt you're trying to girt tonight dog i can't go give me some mean girt man

all right so reverse so claire what are what are because girl i feel like girls have like more like more particular like more like. I feel like they're more particular. They're like, these guys are all, these names are going to be fuck nos. And then these names are like typically like solid. Do you have any, do you have any bugaboos? Any or any winners? Yeah, so like I really can't get on board with like douchebag names.

Corey. No, no, no. Corey's a good one but you know like i don't know douchebag names being like chad brad brett brody chad bryson yeah like who has a baby and is like i know i'm gonna name him brett or i'm gonna name him brad I don't know it's just like that bothers me like I every single time I meet a person and I'm like wow that's a weird name I think about like when you had that baby as a parent you looked at that baby and said I want to name this baby X you know like that is a part that like gets under my skin because you can kind of grow

into a name but like who has a baby and is like i want to name this baby chad i'm gonna name it brayden yeah like i know a lot of weird bradens and i don't know it's like with names like that it's just parents deciding when they come out the womb that the kid's gonna play lacrosse like that's all the parents doing yeah yeah exactly you're gonna play the cross seriously like it i don't know and then and then i it goes deeper because i do think about this a lot and then it goes deeper and i'm like what are the parents like you know like where did they come from what are their names and kind of drives me a little crazy you're going into a deep not judgy just curious okay claire meetings just meeting anybody

oh hey what's up my name is brad and she's just like oh i wonder what your parents are like that they would give you this stupid fucking name you fucking idiot i want you know what i want i want denise to call in as a fellow teacher you know person in the same field because i wonder if it's the worst because you work with parents and you work with or you work with kids and therefore you're communicating with parents because i'm sure you see kids and you're like god i mean the names get weirder and weirder i will say and i think denise can probably attest like it's like there's names that are like mix and match of like two different names and combinations and it's just like why like those things are gonna go out of style in like 20 minutes. It's just not, it's not,

I don't know, but I'm also a little more like I, I enjoy a classic name, a strong classic name. So I don't know. Like Brad. No, no, no.

I'm a fan of like a very normal first name, completely ridiculous middle name. Like name your kid, Mike, but the middle name like name your kid mike but the middle name biscuit exactly yeah gert but like just so hard but if they like their middle name and it's like a little bit more eccentric they can choose to go by their middle name you know like exactly it gives a little more opportunity oh, are you normal or are you weird? And then bam, then they choose. And then you're judged.

And then, yeah, but you're okay with that judgment. Easy. I like it. We're all on the same page. Well, Claire, thank you for the topic. Thank you for coming on.
