Welcome back to Quar-a-tors
The show where we ask
What is Quora?
What is Quora?
What is, what is this?
what is what is quora what the hell it's the show where we open our phones and go what the hell
it is a website for questions and answers that's undebatable jeremy and that's what we're going to
be tackling today yeah and every week this is the theme of the show is what it is is what is quora
It makes me laugh every time I say it.
Ha!
Well, let's get into that.
We're your hosts, Alex and Jeremy, and I'm Alex.
And I'm Jeremy.
And that's Jeremy.
We didn't decide who does what up top yet.
It's week three.
Will this be the third episode people listen to, though?
Stretching our legs.
TBD.
Yeah, did episode two suck because I took too much Adderall?
We'll find out.
I love that aspect of early podcasts.
so you listen to the first episode they're like welcome to week 15 you're like oh they had a rough
start we we didn't know what was good we didn't know how to use the search bar for the first 13
episodes first 10 episodes we forgot to record you know what's really locking us in here though
jeremy as we approach uh this exciting third episode is uh we have a weekly segment already
we do where we ask a question and then see who answered it and so far uh but what's
not locking us into this uh this relationship is that so far no one has answered no one has
answered the question as of yet but we did get one comment i was so quora has a uh so when you
click on the bell in quora it brings up your quorafications sure is that actually what it's
called or are we no well that's what they you can see your up quora's down quora's and your
quorafications okay i just just to be clear i feel like we should we should imply or say that
what we these are pitches to quora they should be calling it quorafications and up quora's down
they really don't know what they're doing they don't they are that's what we need to start the
podcast because they're saying what is quora and then everyone is saying yeah what is quora
and uh we've been leaving really intelligent questions framing them in the language of the
the franca lingua of quora and how they'd be talking over here and um last week we
oh so this is a comment on our first question which we put in forbidden not oh no this is
our second week's question i'm sorry it was the same question twice i forgot as it has been look
behind the camera two weeks since we recorded episode two yes uh our question was newly married
here has anyone ever married a cryptological beast such as a yeti or skinwalker and we put
this in forbidden knowledge because forbidden psychology was pretty empty it turned out sure
there wasn't really much there and um quarry the quora members quora users uh the quora community
the core community that doesn't work uh the quora community said this knowledge is forbidden for you
you shouldn't know uh well they did okay but that we didn't get a comment though oh we did we got
two followers i don't know what that means okay so they're following the question i don't think
they're following us and it to the question has anyone married a skinwalker or yeti uh somebody
said never married but have dated shapeshifters slash skinwalkers
so but they said it right after we posted it so it's been two weeks okay
so somebody slammed that reply button but there's no clarification there's it's just yeah i've dated
one yeah i didn't all right well that's good information we now know that we have to ask a
follow-up yeah that's how was the experience there's nothing like that skin wussy
good wussy do hit different it'd be trans gripping like transforming i don't think i really
clocked the way i attended this is the final episode we get canceled yeah i'm gonna leave
after this one i don't think i'm doing too good at talking but yes this person has i do we say
their names or not is it a breach of contract all right so pharaoh zamon which i'm assuming is not
not their given name is never married but has dated shape shifters skinwalkers and uh we're
gonna add a quick reply we'll do a new question today sure to just keep the ball rolling see if
we can get more responses we want to reply to this person but we're gonna say uh why didn't
you lock it down yeah what was the deal was it good was a good experience yeah okay we're not
interested in the skin walker so much as we're interested in like how the relationship right i
want to know what it's like like who does the dishes you know like you eat dinner together
and then just like a fox is outside your window with glowing eyes and you're like you said
you said you'd do it the box just runs away that was jennifer jennifer do not skin change
it's yelling help in the distance all the skinwalkers videos i've seen they yell help
and you're the i i've never heard of skinwalker videos before you join tiktok okay so we're going
to talk about that for a minute but i am going to add i'm going to do the reply first yes please
why didn't you lock it down how was the relationship that's what we're asking right
Is there anything I'm missing?
I don't want to be weird to Feyre.
No, no, no.
I don't even, I don't even, I mean, we could ask more about the Skinwalker, but I kind
of just want to know what happened, what went wrong.
And another thing, too, is like, do you ever have a conversation where someone asks you
like four questions, and you're like, I'm not answering any of these now?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm just going to do, you know what?
With that said, I'm just going to do, why didn't you lock it down?
And send.
Blast it off.
And blast off.
And we'll do another one today.
Okay.
I think we should do it at the end, though.
At the end.
That's how we end our podcast.
Everyone knows that.
Everyone knows that.
It's week three.
If you're listening to the podcast, extensive camera work being conducted here.
Oh, yeah.
I'm curious to find out how it works.
We don't know how much of this is going online or not.
We have no idea.
We don't know.
It's an exciting time.
No one's ever tried this before.
I keep doing gym faces for probably nobody.
yeah never married a shame shifter alex put my uh microphone in jello yep uh from the office
yep jello from the office battlestar galactica yeah yeah okay wait so i gotta talk about yeah
i feel i don't want to confuse anybody this is an accessible podcast that everyone can listen to
and everyone should listen to yeah and a skinwalker is a beast that god has forgotten
and they're very popular on tiktok specifically under the horror talk angle because i am on tiktok
by uh compulsion as i am trying to work in entertainment so i have to be but i don't want
to watch any of the comedy stuff there i really just want to watch weird things yeah and uh in
the corner of horror talk which is where they share horrific videos or videos that make you
scream uh there's a very popular genre known as skinwalkers which are foxes or like a deer or
But it'll usually be a man videoing a deer being like,
did you see that?
Did you see his eyes?
But you hear the TikTok voice, too, where it's like,
do you think this is a skinwalker or a dog?
And then it's just a dog.
That's no dog.
The last one I watched was a guy going in the distance, help!
And he's like, look at it.
Look at it.
Its mouth isn't moving, but it's saying help.
And then that, I guess, is proof it's a skinwalker.
I don't know why we're supposed to be scared of the skinwalkers.
It seems like they need help.
They must need.
They're always saying it.
Yeah.
Did they must?
I mean, and I don't want to come out as a skinwalker, like, amateur either.
Pharaoh's already dated one.
Every time they had sex, you would just hear help in, like, the background or something.
From, like, 40, like, throwing your voice.
Yeah.
Dude, my girl's so loud in bed.
Oh, my God.
And then she's like, help.
from hundreds of feet away she's transformed into a deer and has galloped across the prairie
yeah but in all seriousness they are dangerous well we have all kinds of exciting topics to
cover today i don't want to get too stuck on skinwalkers which i have covered ad nauseum
on other platforms yeah if you want to hear more about skinwalkers follow tv's alex patak on tiktok
on tiktok.com that's tiktok.com tiktok
yeah that's good um okay so we have like 45 rules for men to read we have a lot of men content today
so this is this is maybe a stretch but we're hoping this podcast um is listened to by men
yeah which can be hard for me as a content creator i feel like i attract many women women
desperate like the beatles walking down the street when i do a podcast yeah you hear screams
it's just slightly farther away and i'm like who is that and it's it's women who love me and uh so
uh we found a bunch of kind of interesting stuff that'll teach you about manhood how to be a man
jeremy do you know how to be a man uh not really i'm clueless about this stuff this is my fourth
podcast yeah that's fair i mean kidding aside about the idea that like only women follow us
every now and then i'll get like one of those like social media reports where it'll be like
hi jeremy did you know that 98 of your following is men from the age 20 to 23 and you're like oh
all right all right shut up we'd be alone are you bullying me hey jeremy facebook here real
sausage party in the followers huh don't hold a live event jeremy it will be threatening
um although we are having a live event later today we are and there was and i said this on
stage last time but more women than you would guess then everyone acted like i was a bad guy
for the video game themed comedy show whatever all right so this is the 10 rules for men uh
that what are your 10 laws of manhood this is post under human mind readers would you say these
are commandments i don't think you list things as tens unless they are commandments right yeah
yeah right it's a biblical um imagery put it on a tablet it's like how moses wrote down the 10
rules for men and they were like do not steal moses was the original like uh influencer like
andrew tate style yeah fellas i know you're coveting your lady's wife your neighbor's wife
she's looking fine she's looking stay away from her thou best not be stealing
he has such an uncanny voice yeah he switches between half cockney and half like new jersey
bro i hate it he just watched like too much jason statham that's like his main role model
is the transporter movies he doesn't whisper enough for just i like jason statham so much
more than andrew tate but then yeah regardless regardless these are her 10 laws for men by
entrepreneur matthew cooper who is it also says a blogger since 2016 right that's huge number one
never look at a menu for longer than 90 seconds oh my god you gotta know what you're eating now
as a man i'm looking at a menu for some time why do you think this is a dude women they can't make
choices but men they're like i want a freaking burger yeah yeah i used to work with this guy
who got a hamburger every day delivered for lunch with a sam adams light and i thought he was a
psychopath but apparently he was just aware of the laws of man yeah he didn't look at the menu
for more than 90 seconds this is i think this is go like what you were saying it's like you have
to be decisive yeah you have to be the head of the house know what you want women make decisions too
long you have to get them in a van across time tonight i haven't seen the transporter is that
what he does oh um yeah sort of he the idea is like he has to make a package get to like another
a very expensive package
wherever it gets
to another place
but he can only do it
in like cool cars
that's kind of gay
and then I think
in the fourth movie
the package is
whoa
a young girl
oh
oh no
that's a weird movie
that's drama though
oh yeah
I mean
if you're a guy
who transports packages
there's nothing
messing up your day
more than
opening it up
and finding
it's a young girl
your traffic and children
there's a scene
in that movie
I think where he fights
a bunch of goons
but he does it
the whole time
while taking his clothes off
yeah
that's the women's gaze
Hey, guys, I'm sorry I called the transporter gay.
I wasn't really cool, and take it back.
I'm learning and I'm growing.
Rule number two, the average male gets 378,432,000 minutes in his lifetime.
So I guess that's 37 million.
That's a rule.
The rule is the average male gets 37,843,200 minutes in his lifetime.
you don't really want to spend them on snapchat he posted on quora
the blogger entrepreneur the the cadence of the the first part of that though is like a board
game where it's like all right average man gets three million uh minutes you get four little
house pieces and then every turn you have to roll the dice yeah don't spend too much time on
snapchat yeah yeah yeah that makes sense i agree with that okay so it's kind of like doing a ben
franklin thing but then making it about snapchat um are you on snapchat i've never had a snapchat
i'm not on snapchat it's one of the laws of man because we're men
number three beer pizza and barbecue is an acceptable payment for another man
that's what it says that's one of the rules wow wow so this so men have created some sort of
bartering system but we uh monetize quaraders if i pay you a lot of barbecue you can't be mad at me
because that's an acceptable payment that's number that's commandment number three it's just gonna
be too much food it's gonna be like you're on a survival show and you killed the bear on day two
it's just going bad in your house oh man uh okay number four do not roast a man in front of their
kids what happened to this guy do not roast a man in front of their kids you know that this is like
something something embarrassing happened to him one time that he got roasted in front of his kids
and he was like this is a commandment this has to be one of the walls this is after the barbecue
thing i take all my homies out for beer pizza and barbecue and it ended badly they're all saying
that's not an equitable payment for a loan for ten thousand dollars and then they roast me in
front of my son i don't know what the words they're using are but some kids said i'm chuggy
in front of my son this is directed at another kid yeah maybe a child stop roasting me
i'm a powerful entrepreneur
you know those laws for men you all love well guess who wrote those yeah remember those stone
tablets that you live your life by as a man you have them under your bed you have to take them
out every day and read them it takes like 20 minutes um well don't roast a man i agree with
that yeah it seems like a mean thing in front of their kids homie i can only live by this as i know
no one with children yeah wait that's not true i know i know one guy with children but his baby
is too young where you're allowed to roast him yeah it's cool to roast that's i think one of
the clauses that the baby can't understand roasts the baby has not developed full lingual i don't
know if i agree with that you know because they say like if you play like um classical music for
a baby it makes them smarter one day like if you just roast their dad in front of a baby they might
understand it they'll take it in more than ever yeah and when they get older 100 roasts yeah
when they're like 15 they're like why do i think my dad's a little bitch
why why is my father a little purple shoes have an ass
yeah don't do that you got a feminine lean
why do i want to draw a line on a photo of my parents to show who has better posture
all right uh number five is if you wear cologne no one should smell it from five feet away or
five minutes after you've left yeah that seems like a good rule for everybody does deodorant
count as a cologne no i don't think so i ask this is a man no i don't think i've worn cologne then
i'm not even against it it's just i haven't explored that i think cologne i haven't either
but i believe it's just like perfume should we get into cologne we should get so we should both
be yeah yeah if you're not watching the video feed these are two cool guys who need to get
into cologne guys who married their high school girlfriend masculine men like skin walkers
um yeah what would be your smell uh if i had cologne you mean yeah not if you made one like
if you just if you're gonna pick a smell i think uh apricots oh cute all right no i'm doing it
wrong i'm doing it wrong uh steel yeah the smell of steel enters the room no smell steel wow i'm
the least sexually aroused i've ever felt all genders just feel the machine entering um i'd
probably be a lumber lumber is good you ever been in a home depot like i could just smell around
there i don't know how to install a goddamn thing but i love smelling the place you know it's a good
side of like our generation is is less uh you know quote unquote manly than the rest though the ones
above us is like my dad when he goes to home depot uh people always think that he works at home depot
and then for our generation is like have you been to a home depot ever before i noticed your cologne
is of steel it's kind of a threatening uh onyx like aura a steelix aura yeah you remember we
have the steel pokemon steel that's also our other thing is like when we think of metal our
go-to reference is a type of pokemon well he's so much steel he's a factory of steel but he moves
around it's true it would be so scary i remember watching like the third episode of pokemon they
brought onyx out and i was like clearly it's not gonna get better than this this is terrifying
he's a bunch of rocks this guy if you a bunch rocks moved around and they have eyes and shit
i would you'd have to send me back home that's like triangle eyes send me back home put me in
a body bag we've only got through half of these sorry yeah we have like 40 more to go good okay
good there's a lot more quaras and we can spend romantic time learning i also feel like we know
nothing about how to be men as we've gone through these i didn't know that we're very bad at that
all right number six be especially kind to bartenders baristas taxi drivers anyone else
who is often looked over oh that's that's a nice one good advice i've noticed many men
many women are strong men in this rule rules for men tip your waiters do as would be done unto you
this is again just becoming moses tablets
have no false idols
take down your life-size steelics you have put up in your house but i worship him take him down
he is a sin pokemon are pagans pokemon are pagans and if you're listening that's a rule for men
the camera turns are my strong suit uh number seven number seven
number seven if riding a bus doesn't incentivize you to improve your station in life nothing will
that's not a rule i don't even know what that this rule is don't ride the bus i think it's like
if riding a bus doesn't depress you it's like yeah don't yeah you don't want to be on a bus
because there's there's men on there how are you as a man riding a bus to get to more men
Fellas, is it gay to be in a bus?
Fellas, is public transit a little sus?
Nothing's straighter than owning a car.
Oh, yeah.
Or taking a taxi where you can be kind to the driver
and they're more especially manly.
That's true.
If you're kind to a bus driver, that's nothing.
No, that's women stuff.
That's something women do when they all get on the bus together.
Reading their menus.
They're getting on...
For 91 seconds.
yeah they're just trying to get used to it so they can get to their job at uh driving children
around on their magical school bus i will say re you know about menus yep uh i think only women
only women are people who i know who like will read the venue beforehand i don't know any guys
who do that nope not one because when a man picks it up they just go burger hamburger
but i hamburger for men sure i just feel like my wife will be a much quicker menu reader than me
because we'll get to a restaurant and she'll be like,
oh, I looked this up a week ago.
Oh, wow.
I'm a man.
And I go, oh, no.
Unfortunately, and I hate to give any points
to Matthew Cooper, entrepreneur, blogger, 2016 president,
but my wife does take a very long time with this.
And I oftentimes do help her pick a thing.
Aw, that's cute.
But I just like eating all food,
so I'm just like, this is a thing I'd like,
and I'd like them all.
And here's what I do, is I pick a food I'd like,
and then I order that one,
and then complain the rest of the meal about how good the other one would be.
And I will look around and see if I can see it.
And I go, oh, look at it.
Oh, I made a mistake.
And then everyone goes, that is such a man.
He knows how to quickly get through a menu.
What a man.
Okay, rule number eight.
This is for men.
Good relationships are absolutely not 50-50.
Oh.
Oh, they're fluid things.
That's also good advice.
That is good advice.
So what does, what does, what does he mean by 50, 50 though?
Does that mean like, I think he just mean I,
the genuine version of that is like, you know,
it's not like I do the dishes and you do the laundry.
It's like, you know, you do things for your partner here and there.
Right.
Yeah.
Everyone's fluid thing.
Yeah.
It's not about, there's a spectrum of chores.
You cheer me up when I picked the steak,
but i wanted a different thing and didn't think about it long enough this is just like a just a
normal relationship advice thing they're fluid things and they're for men um number nine you
cannot have a love affair with whiskey because whiskey will never love you back
honey listen to that whiskey would never love you back do not leave your wife for whiskey do not
try to get a wet evening in at a motel six with a bottle of jack whiskey that's a boy's game
a bunch of boys get a sleepover out they all they call out of school they say oh
get the ouija board and some whiskey yeah we're gonna get black out and so we're gonna talk to
grandpa uh yeah i would agree whiskey can never love you i might have written this one in myself
that's a hundred percent true whiskey hurts me so bad when i have it yeah i've tried i've read
other man lists where they're like have one sure you bitch for me it's all about beer pizza and
barbecue oh yeah and you could pay me in that and as stand-up comedians we often are i have no money
but you're rich in barbecue oh yeah big time the chicken legs at your house i mean we're probably
in the top profession for being paid in beer right it's like this was written for us
and then not so much for some of the other ones but yeah the whiskey one i feel like is directed
at me because whiskey doesn't love me back even when i get the bigs you know the big cubes you
can get uh yeah they take up the whole glass so the whiskey doesn't look so small because small
things are for women and big things are for men yeah yeah look at that big ass ice cube yeah the
ice cube is big like a man is it's a whiskey stone it's not a cube it's a stone that whiskey
that whiskey stone looks like it could be part of an onyx
i got this from my mind
where i dig for onyxes all day long
uh is that number nine that was nine so we're at the final commandment for men right which is
what's the 10th like uh commandment commandment uh chill vibes only chill vibes only i hope it's
something like that and this is so some editorializing here it says in my favorite last
one rules are for the obedience of fools and the guidance of wise men no wait what rules are for
the obedience of fools and the guidance
of wise men.
So
at first I thought it was saying like,
don't follow these rules. But then it was
like, unless you're wise.
Well, you seek them for guidance if you're wise.
You don't obey them.
So you don't have a love affair with whiskey, but you
have... You might kiss it once or twice.
You give whiskey a long
stare at the office.
Send a 40 text and then feel bad
about it. Yeah, you go bowling with whiskey
and you tell your wife you're going out to
sure nothing happens but it is wrong yeah you shouldn't you're still lying
which on a different list is bad
uh and then sends at the end uh my first answer here give me an upvote if you like these and
that's entrepreneur shit and then it has a picture of upcora wait very important this
then has a picture of johnny dip oh sick dude who is a man yeah he is with some beautiful woman here
So that's pretty cool.
And it's not Amber Heard, who I think this is kind of like in response to.
Is it really?
That's insane.
Yeah, Amber Heard, do not roast a man in front of their kids.
That was the big point of the trial.
Not in front of their kids, little homie.
Oh, and then in the comments, never go to Quora to learn any of the rules of being a man.
Oh, roasted.
And then his kid's reading that, and he's like, no!
no turn off your ipad right now tommy tommy tommy what's your go-to little tommy tommy i think of a
cool old man okay yeah i think of one of um not buck rogers buckaroo bonsais band sure would be
sure i think there's one of them named tommy my um i'm so old
how old are you i'm 31 well i just referenced buckaroo bonsai i've seen that movie i could
not watch that movie it was too much for my dad loved it i watched it every week it was not
it's about how doctors are cool it's it's not good well you got and you know what the weird
thing is so buckaroo bonsai is a film about a band where all of the members have to be surgeons
and they also from outer space or well they find aliens in addition to that okay with the extra
time they have right but you know what maps onto this almost perfectly is the offspring all have
doctorates um so how does that match onto this well map the maps on the buckaroo bonsai didn't
match on that okay fair enough isn't that kind of crazy they're kind of like real life
the band the offspring yeah not the kids who are watching i thought you meant like the kid
the children of buckaroo bonsai i was like that seems like a normal thing to happen
No, not a lot happens at Buckaroo Balls, to be honest.
That movie is one where people are always like,
it's the craziest movie ever made, and then it's like, not.
I couldn't tell you a thing that happens.
I've seen it hundreds of times.
I remember at one point he goes, wherever you go, there you are,
and then a bunch of women cheer, and that's the only thing I remember.
That's kind of like one of his rules of being a man.
Well, that's interesting.
I learned a lot from that.
I learned a lot about what to do with my children.
uh there's another man thing yeah do you want to read those so i am worried with how long that took
us that this one is 32 instructions to teach your son this might be an episode of just a thing
things to to to learn as a man episode three is rules for men yeah and then we could save some
of these for future episodes i posted like 20 in here and that are all for men no no no no some of
them are for gynecologists we're gonna have like a six month residence of men no i think this is
the last men one we rebrand to being like a men's podcast but the first few episodes are all about
quora they don't really talk about men at all in these it's obviously about uh cryptids okay um
oh i disconnected my headphones but i'm sure that i'm still in there you hear me these are shorter
but um yeah these are 32 rules for men okay do you want to read these ones sure you want me to
read them yeah i'd like to all right learn and listen um these are instructions slash rules to
teach your son and then there's a crying laughing emoji oh i thought you put that in i thought you
thought it was funny no i certainly did not i didn't even read them and this one is by a woman
this one is by rebecca who's uh it says just another human being but she is an admin uh do
not mistake her as an ally she's an admin on quora is this also like a um is this in the category
For humans?
Humans, colon, instructions, brain emoji, note emoji.
Okay.
These are really important rules.
For humans.
So those were rules for men.
If you're not a human, you don't need to turn those off.
No, if you're not a human, get out of here.
Right.
Buckaroo bonsais after you.
Skinwalkers included.
These are rules for children, though, for your son.
Although I guess a son can be an adult.
Oh, damn.
I'm looking at these quickly, and I've broken many of them.
Okay.
Let's go through them.
number one never shake a man's hand sitting down yeah i do that all the time i do it all the time
it's the coolest thing you could do number two don't enter a pool by the stairs okay i agree
with that really yeah because you gotta flop in that thing is that not what she means so no i
think that is what she means but sometimes tell your son to flop more your kid's a pussy do a
cat and ball or you're a boy the kids at school been talking about how your son takes the stairs
into the pool it's not good they're all bullying him for slowly walking in doesn't he know that
his balls will get cold he's he's he's gonna end up in a serious relationship with whiskey
um number three the man at the barbecue grill is the closest thing to a king so we're all
agreed on barbecue then yeah men love barbecue men be loving barbecue and i agree and i think
that's right but do you think that the man at the barbecue grill is the closest thing to a king
i would say a president is close yeah i was gonna say also modern role currently kings there are
some kings there is there is as of like a few days ago the queen died and there's a new king
so he's probably closer than the guy but if he if he ever barbecues though this uh then he's the
closest to the little fingers oh oh yeah he has like deeply swollen hands yeah that he could use
but then you know what the issue is he's at the barbecue he looks down how are the sausages going
oh no i've been roasting my hand on both sides for a half hour and that's what makes fun of him
he turns around and prince williams there and he's like not in front of my son
oh the the land the realm would collapse should this ever occur um irish terrorists
are listening to this episode that's half our audience they have a brain emoji and a notepad
emoji okay well there's 32 of these so we can't take too long in a negotiation never make the
first offer that's a good rule even for daughters yeah i don't even daughters could learn that
i bet the list of these for daughters is fucking insane we gotta look those up next week next week
we have to wear the we'll have a guest on and we'll do like women's week and it'll be our
strongest episode oh yeah will we have a woman guest on yeah a woman guest on i love a woman
guest oh yeah is there anything softer than a woman guest we'll give her a venue just to see
how long she takes yeah we're like we're podcasting now you got to put that thing down please we're
trying to do the show i know you don't want to just close it uh what's that after just order
something it all says like the menu is just like riffs long-term improv read a post back
okay uh number five request the late checkout um sure i it could be rewarding to wake up early
sometimes but i'd tell your son that anyway yeah if you're a girl uh number six when entrusted
with the secret keep it keep it secret that's just good advice thank again women could hear
that one but sons need to hear it sons need to be opening their damn mouth as they walk into the
pool stairs first that's true some of these rules could just be things that girls don't need to
learn because they know intrinsically oh and all girls are like always request the late checkout
oh you're gonna want to sleep man um number seven i disagree with this one hold your heroes to a
higher standard seems like a recipe for disaster well yeah but i mean i feel like your advice is
just not to have heroes in that case because if they're held to a normal standard then they're
not heroes hold your heroes to a normal standard hold your heroes to pay your heroes in pizza
i'm having a stroke um return a borrowed car with a full tank of gas that's just a rule you have
that's a nice thing to do okay pay money if you like rent a car you heard number nine play with
passion or don't play at all get in there son number 10 when shaking hands grip firmly and
look them in the eye this could have been with the other shaking hands advice but make sure they're
standing or lying down it's just a business meeting begins and everyone goes prone
to make sure they're the smallest hitbox sorry never played this game before
oh that crouch damn it uh number 11 don't let a wishbone grow where a backbone should be
This is an advice for doctors or mad scientists, I feel like.
The human centipede.
I was going to also say the human centipede for some reason.
Because I think he grows bones.
What are we up to, 11?
No, 12.
He molds bones into the shape of a centipede.
Oh, yeah, absolutely.
Have you seen the human centipede?
I have seen the human centipede.
Me too.
It's a very funny film.
Good film.
They have fun with it in the film.
They have the Japanese guy in the front, and his whole thing is he says,
shit, I need to shit.
That's funny.
And then I think the second one is about a guy who watched the first movie and decides to do it.
And then does it?
Yeah.
That's kind of meta.
I like that.
It's a good idea.
You know what's kind of weird is I'm pretty sure the human centipede is just supposed,
the doctor's supposed to be just like Shiro Ishii.
Oh, yeah.
The like war crimes guy from World War II.
Oh.
And they were just like, what if he did bog stuff?
What if he was not as bad?
And then they have fun with it, which was the problem everyone had with the situation.
People were like, this is ignoring Japanese war crimes.
A bit dry.
um number 12 if you need music on the beach you're missing the point
um i guess sons need to hear that
uh number 13 carry two handkerchiefs the one in your back pocket is for you the one in your
breast pocket that's for her all right i'm not sure i agree with this one how many how many
handkerchiefs you have on you right now well i mean right now we're recording a podcast i took
them out well i have napkins a lot of times like none of them are for you well because
in restaurants they always give you more napkins than you're going to use yeah like i'm always
using napkins i take those with me sure i usually put them in a bag i'll just have a nasty squirrel
drawer full of napkins just stolen napkins but they're not anchor chiefs they're grosser than
and who are they for was there for whoever i definitely are they're definitely not sorted
locationally i'll tell you that right now number 14 you marry the girl you marry her family
we're both married yeah i find that to be true yeah that's literally true i mean it's not
literally true you don't literally marry your family wait what you're not supposed to do that
you don't have to like kiss her dad i i have to talk to a lawyer yeah you got tricked i have to
go you got tricked into multiple marriages um number 15 say it be like a duck like a duck
remain calm on the surface paddle like crazy underneath and have a corkscrew penis
yeah rule number 16 practice practice practice and take a left
you're getting generic is yeah man all right let's go through i know about the duck one all
right 16 experience the serenity of traveling alone yeah all right 17 never be afraid to ask
out the best looking girl in the room it seems like a reductive way to phrase that but sure
number 18 never turn down a breath mint has anyone ever offered you a breath mint
no no one's ever offered me ever my wife people have been like you smell like shit
but no one's ever constructed disgusting you're always talking about onyx all the time and you
smell um number 19 a sport coat is worth a thousand words always said that oh this is rough
number 20 try writing your own eulogy never stop revising what does that mean every day you should
write up a little sent a paragraph uh of what it would be like if you died okay yeah it seems weird
never stop revising if so it's like the song the rest is unwritten that everybody used to listen to
where your today is the day your book begins but instead it's just like right your eulogy
begins your eulogy today is the day your eulogy begins if my friend told me that um he writes his
own eulogy all the time i was like that's fucking insane that's a young man i was told to do this
who said this you said never stopped revising i'm sorry about that song reference i just watched
this traveling pants oh right i just watched it and you know what i would have watched it even
if it wasn't for a podcast
because that's how much
I'm learning and loving.
That's good.
But yeah,
anyway,
there's too many of these.
Sorry.
Yeah.
Number 21.
Think a veteran,
then make it up to him.
Not going to look into that.
I'm going to look into
what that means.
Kill someone abroad
for a veteran.
Commit murder.
Well,
make it up to him.
And this is my brain
going there,
but it's like,
it's always trying,
they're trying to give me
a good sloppy toppy
to a veteran.
And I'm not going
to just do that.
I'm not going to just do that.
I don't need to explain myself.
It's over the line.
They have PTSD, Alex.
Just give them a little bit of blowjobs.
They have PTSD.
You could PTS my D.
Oh, wait.
I can do this.
They have PTSD, and that is plum-tuckered dry dick.
Yeah.
Well.
The last.
No.
SD is Suck Dick.
And PT is the first two letters of your name.
Of my last name, yeah.
So there's something swirling around.
I think what I said was right.
In its own way, maybe not spellingly.
Number 22, eat lunch with the new kid.
Eat lunch with the new kid.
That's nice.
Number 23, after writing an angry email, read it carefully, then delete it.
I disagree.
Number 24.
Send that baby out.
Ask your mom to play.
She won't let you win.
What does that mean?
What does that mean?
I'm trying to think of a game I played with my mom
where I haven't won immediately.
That's the thing.
She's not letting you win.
I guess above us.
Yeah, she's not.
She just doesn't know how to play Catan that well.
Maybe this advice is like feeling bad about yourself.
Want to win an easy round of Catan?
she tries to build longest road every time don't worry she's not letting you win it's not an
effective use of resources she just piles up on sheep she likes them because they're soft
25 manners maketh the man 26 give credit take the blame i just want to give a shout to the
word maketh yeah yeah yeah very shakespearean doing doing all the heavy lifting number 27
stand up to bullies protect those bullied in the future we shouldn't read things that have 32 yeah
this is on me 30 28 right down your dreams how many lists this is this episode is 42 pieces of
information for men one of the rules should be like don't give men too many rules or they will
stop listening to your podcast if you spend 90 seconds reading rules if you read rules sitting
down what are we up to 27 28 write down your dreams and your eulogies 29 take time to snuggle
your pets they love you so much and are always happy to see you sure you got to tell yourself
snuggle your tell your son to snuggle they always forget oh and it's important to add that the
picture at the bottom of this yeah the picture is insane beef cake with a little boy and they're
wearing matching gray sweatpants the beef the beef cake his pants are falling off they're falling
off and he's just like
this man has like escaped a
romance novel to be with this child
yes and looks kind of confused
about it yeah he doesn't realize that he's like about
to enter a porn
well he's looking at the of his face
as he's looking at the boy is like we gotta
get this kid out of here
we got about
I gotta go
blow a veteran
they did so
much for me
and i haven't given back it wasn't enough that you went to school for free no um be confident
and humble at the same time there's two left 31 if ever in doubt remember whose son you are
and refuse to just be ordinary refuse it you read a list uh 32 the final advice for sons
in all things lead by example not by explanation that's what we say every week and that has 2.8
million views that's real and 38 000 upcores yeah that's a lot i'm not sure that i would upcore this
for its length i'm upcoring it for you oh we're on the same account aren't we oh but you're not
logged in you stupid idiot you thought you could up quora for me the dawn the closest thing to a
king you know i'm the big man sitting at the barbecue podcast all right so that's that has
been 42 pieces of advice huh i feel really secure in my masculine yeah how do you feel
do you feel like you now know how to be a man i i've never been more confused about how to be a
man. But I also feel
like I'm just refusing to be ordinary,
which is rule 31. That's true.
That's a good rule.
I really liked the stairs
one. Yeah, that's a good one.
I feel very strongly about that.
How much
time do we have left? We have around 15 minutes
more of Quora time.
Okay. And that was two
articles. Let's do
one or two more, maybe, and then write a question.
Yeah, let's mix it up a little
bit or is there any other can we continue the theme or any more about men i have one about
family it's a little weird okay i'll read me the family okay this one confused me maybe you
understand this better than i do i genuinely couldn't figure out what it was saying okay and
maybe it's more sinister than i'm realizing but but this is um the question what are you what's
up i'm adjusting my headphones okay um okay so the question is i just found out that my uncle
is also my dad's brother what will this do to our family dynamic what isn't an uncle by definition
your dad's brother this is the problem that i was having with this question right that's what that
is what did they think it was before i don't know this has 6.8 million views and the person who
answered it does not make it more clear to me so this is the answer from bruno walter sazzy
who uh it says i'm picasso with words which is not a good description um this is a very serious
situation oh no cases like this are usually hard to deal with but lucky for you my friend i was in
a pretty similar situation two years ago mine was a bit different in a way but yet so similar to
yours so he's gonna talk about a completely different thing i'm just this is a trend with
quora i'm spotting so i think it's actually this one is the opposite it's so similar that it makes
no more sense in summer 2018 i found out that my aunt and then it says not in all caps aunt a n t
to my american friends in case you thought that they meant a bug oh right i always think women
are bugs that's one of the stories that was a rule i was taught at a young age uh i found out
that my aunt was in fact my mother's sister and oh boy did the entire family freak the fuck out
yes we all did fortunately there's a few things that could be done to preserve your family's
chemistry and dynamic are any of these like are these trolls i don't know i don't know
they have two pieces of advice for people who have this problem okay number one i would recommend
you log off the internet because you obviously have too much time maybe you could do something
with it number two refer to number one that's wow that's number one and two yeah do you think
this person's making fun of them i don't know i don't know why the original poster asked the
question and the follow-up to the question has made me more insecure about my entire perception
of the situation i i do uncles and like aunts mean what i think they mean which is the brother
of a parent i don't know all right well that's good that's good for men to hear about um i just
I feel like this is a good example
of our question. What is Quora?
What is Quora? How many of you are
for real on this thing? Maybe this was written
by a skinwalker. Are you doing a goddamn
bit on me? Because I'm doing a
Quorator podcast. We're trying to Quorate
you. We're not trying to read your
bits. No. We're trying to read
weird questions to
the public. Yeah. So we can find
answers and also slowly
learn how the website works. Yes.
Like from a functional aspect. I got
another good one for Ben. Okay, please. I got a good one for Ben.
Please, please, please, please.
All right, so this was the question,
what ruined actor Daniel Craig's personal life?
Okay, yeah, this is very important
because Daniel Craig is a man.
As we all know.
His life is ruined.
Yeah, he's got nothing going on anymore.
James Bond, he can't show up in public
or people throw stones at him.
Yeah.
You stole this from an onyx.
Sorry, I keep going back to this well.
The thunder type Daniel Craig takes extra damage.
We're doing a video game comedy show later tonight.
Is there something about Daniel Craig I don't know?
Does you know what he's talking about?
Yeah, he's a disgraced man.
It has a picture of him in a pink suit.
Oh, no.
Almost as if to say, look at this goddamn suit.
It ruined it.
Oh, no.
Okay, here's his answer.
It says, Daniel Craig says he prefers to go to gay bars
and reveals an unusual reason.
He's gay.
Well, that would, I mean, if it said that,
that would still not answer the question.
This is, by the way, under the humanity quora
to uplift humanity.
He prefers to go to gay bars in Rio's non-usual reason.
Quote, I've been going to gay bars
for as long as I can remember, Craig says.
One of the reasons for this is
because I don't get into fights in gay bars very often,
argued the Hollywood star.
Oh, all right.
Now, Daniel Craig,
who are you fighting at these straight bars?
which roaming heteros are you knocking on their ass the implication there's two implications here
one is that he straight guys he just finds himself getting into fights with and gay guys
enough of you slamming push when he sees a gay guy he's like we're buddies
and the other implication is that he just keeps fighting women and he's like i need to go i need
to go to a bar that has fewer women because i keep getting into fights with them i look at them and i
know i could win just like roundhouse caking yeah pov you're a woman at a bar
well uh yeah he doesn't get in fights according to craig people were never bothered by his presence
despite being homosexual heterosexual yeah that's you can i mean they're not gonna kick you out
no they know they're probably pretty excited that he's there because he's famous you're a
famous guy and you're in a bar you're also a famously handsome man so i'm sure that's good too
uh but he had that scene where he walked out of the ocean shirtless that's a famous scene he
actually has a whole movie about that if you like that yeah you should really check it out it's
pretty cool he's all like pow pow uh he's on a motorcycle for a lot of it uh so cool and uh the
last sentence he claimed that no one ever asked about his sexuality in these clubs which made it
a safe place to be okay now did no one ask about daniel craig's sexuality because he is in movies
and has a wikipedia page i love the idea that like a straight bar people like daniel are you gay
admit it dude i saw your velvet red suit on quora there's that scene where they hit your balls
come on you love that you like that you like that you're a man slamming your balls
That worked for you.
This is why I go to games.
My Daniel Craig is all over the place.
Slowly becoming Michael Caine.
I know.
I'm going to get you a game ball.
My testicles were the size of a tangerine.
Blimey.
I can't have a martini here.
Well, that's an interesting thing about Daniel Craig.
And I think a lot of men look up to him.
So why is his life ruined?
It sounds like it's fine.
no it's ruined
that's just something
editorialized by the
person who's like you've
got to go to gay bars
his life is over
he can't play big buck
hunter as much i mean
some bars have it but
you know all the real
big buck bars uh yeah
well unrelated his life
is ruined all right i
want to do one more i
know it's gonna go
it's gonna make us go a
little long but i want
to do one more um
okay it may not be like the funniest thing ever
i read 32 pieces of advice for your son
i want to end with a bang here but uh this is what's the craziest thing throughout history
that has never fully been explained now i'm beginning to think that the emails quora sent
me have caught on to the fact that i like history so you're also getting the emails yeah i'm getting
emails quora digest everybody gets them there's no way not to get them okay just make it sure
there's no way not to get them oh wait no this is a good one okay so this is on the strange
phenomenon quora which i was not subscribed to somehow and it says yokai ghosts demons
supernatural monsters spirits and anything frightening so this is different than the other
skinwalker blog we are on and it says uh what's the craziest thing throughout history that has
never fully been explained there's one story that has always absolutely fascinated me
zana of abkazia is the one that always does it for me she was an ape-like woman who was captured
in what is now the country of georgia then a part of russia it was the year 1850 and no one had ever
seen any something quite like zana and then there's pictures of the bigfoot
and then somebody looks a lot like kramer and they're insisting like that's
that's this ape woman sure uh it was a kramer from seinfeld yeah that's what i'm saying okay
there's a lot of pictures that do not look like an ape woman on here including one that is clearly
a stock image of a caveman it was a group of georgian hunters who first captured zana that
fateful day in 1850 where she was an enormous person taller than any of the men perhaps six
six or six seven and much of her body was covered in thick coarse hair she had a large chest thick
arms and legs and enormous hands larger than those of any man it took 12 men to overpower her and
bring her to the nearest village love reading that sense love reading that sense yeah that's
the thing you definitely want to be associated with
clip it clip it put it online burn me alive um okay so do you think this like is a woman or
this is a cryptid the ape woman well keep in mind she's stronger than 12 men sure and she
looks like kramer from seinfeld she looks like kramer from seinfeld also a normal monkey also
a distant image of bigfoot i think that she's a cryptid right it sounds like it it sounds like
it uh based on her skull shape which you gotta check oh yeah skull shapes are pretty important
Get the calipers out.
And her powerful physique,
some assumed Zana was an offshoot of the Neanderthal,
perhaps one of the last remaining of her kind.
Oh, that's kind of interesting.
Others thought she was a yeti, a magical creature.
When did she die?
So this was 1850s or probably like last century.
So this idea is that like one Neanderthal family
was just hanging around?
Yeah.
And what if yetis are Neanderthals?
You ever think about that?
I haven't.
You fucking idiot.
I'm a fool.
You never think about yetis.
I don't live a curious life.
She never learned how to speak human language,
although she was able to make herself understood with basic gestures.
Wild at first, her behavior soon mellowed,
and she was able to function somewhat within the village,
doing basic domestic tasks like carrying things, grinding corn, and such.
So they got her a job?
They got her a job.
She was living on her own in the woods, and they're like,
you need a job.
You need upward mobility.
You're like my mom.
Go to grad school.
Jeremy, I don't want to hector you, but you're an ape.
It took 12 men?
My mom is Woody Allen.
It took 12 men to bring you down.
You're six foot seven.
You've got hair out the wazoo.
I don't know what to do with you.
You're making ape-like gestures.
You must learn a human language.
Zana had an unusually strong tolerance for cold, could consume raw meat, and even spoiled food with no apparent signs of illness.
She would leave rooms when they were heated, preferring the ice cold outside.
zana was studied briefly after which she was neglected oh no zana any science that happened
before last year was an abomination oh yeah uh yeah yeah maybe in just all science because
there's that elon musk thing where he tortured 12 monkeys to make brain internet he didn't do
that yeah yeah that was like this year yeah um all right she may have been raped no details of
the fathers is known oh because she gave birth to several children i skipped sentence there
uh in spite of her didn't speak any language i i don't how do you and this is rude to say
sure but just for the interest of the question okay how would one go about
raping someone as strong as 12
like i know you could talk them into it in an abusive way but she doesn't talk so i don't know
i don't know i don't know i guess it's like a weapon i guess with the way i don't you know
what we shouldn't even discuss it because i don't want anyone to know how i just assume it happened
because the past was terrible i worry that if we come up with an answer someone will be writing it
down and they'll find their own ape woman sons will be learning it because this episode will
be called you know 52 pieces of advice for men and then and then they'll be like well that must
be one of them it's not one of them i do not condone the treatment of sauna the first baby
giant the first baby the giant wild woman gave birth to she tried to wash in an ice-cold river
and it died shortly after this gets so sad yeah this is brutal what was the question
what's the craziest thing
this is a pretty crazy sure some guy was like i was so excited to talk about this
yeah i can put this ape story here um i just put this on most answers you know and there's
no reason to think that she was assaulted maybe she had a paramour um she couldn't even speak
any language i don't know uh so it's an ape woman she was an ape woman subsequent babies were taken
in by other families after birth and survived so like your family would just have like five
georgian children and then one half ape who's twice the size of the rest of them so i'm a
quarter ape on my mother's side i can eat raw meat yes it does not make me sick no i do not
have to explain that to you the first picture in this answer in this answer a collage shows
a photograph in black and white of a man named quit who is one of zana's sons and then is that
the one that looks like kramer quiet quit quiet quitting the workplace jeremy very good uh zana
died in 1890. Her skull
and that of quit were later studied, and their
shape was rather unusual for a modern
humanoid. 1850 is when
they were studying those shapes. Yeah, they were big
into skull shapes. I mean, you can protest
till the cows come home, but that's what
they were looking at. That was their big move
back then. Two grandsons of Zana
became miners and were known for their unusual
physical strength. All were remarkably tall and hairy.
All right. Well,
that was the weirdest thing.
And I want men to know
about it all right we should we should write our own question yeah let's wrap this up so
what's the question that we have that we formed over the course first you gotta find a community
so let's go back do you want to do it on human instructions well should we do one
should we do some sort of advice for men or should we do advice for women maybe
i don't feel like i'm in a position to give advice to women right now so we're asking it
we're saying what's 32 pieces of advice for a woman let's do it under human instructions
and then make it all about men okay i think that's the way to go yeah yeah uh human instructions
what's a question we have as a man um there's something about peeing standing up okay yeah we
can ask the ladies about peeing standing up and then make it about humans ladies is it weird to
pee standing up if you're wearing pants that like pajama pants that you gotta pull all the way down
do you stand up or sit down okay that can ask that word for word
is that a good question you're wearing if you're a man
i gotta picture it now or i won't be able to ask the question if you have full length pjs yeah yeah
with no fly and you gotta take the all those i put them all the way down you gotta p do you
standing up little boy style or do you sit down like a girl i'm gonna start fellas
when you're wearing oh there's a it shows you similar questions okay good well i'm gonna need
to put my mic down so you just fill the air for a second here uh i think it's a good question
for our listeners to know because sometimes you you be wearing pants that uh don't have a fly
And you've got to make that decision on the fly.
Am I going to stand up, pants around my ankles like a child?
I'm leaning in to say you're right about that, Jeremy.
Or are you going to sit down like a girl, girl-style peeing?
Are you going to let your butt get exposed to the air?
Are you going to point it at the direction of water when you don't even have to poop?
All right, here's our question.
fellas when you're wearing full-length pajamas and you're at the urinal comma at the urinal
it makes it to that like oh wait no i can't say see this is why we needed a spell check
this is why we needed an editor at the toilet yeah now maybe we'll get more europeans because
that's what they say sure sure sure sure uh fellas when you're wearing full-length pajamas
and you're at the toilet do you stand up or sit down to pee after you take those bad boys off
Yeah, there you go.
And add question.
I think we're going to get a lot of good answers to this.
And I think that this will be a good way for us to learn how to be better men.
Okay, it's saying double check your question.
Oh, wait.
It wants us to take out fellows when.
Oh, maybe fellow men.
No, it just wants us to say when.
But I'm going to ask fellows when.
Okay.
And if it doesn't work, that's probably why.
And we could put this in Quora pajamas, Quora toilets, Quora urination.
Cool.
Those are all great.
Urination is a great community that we would love to be a part of.
Let's add two more.
Let's do men.
Men.
Bathroom.
Our bathroom.
Or Quora bathrooms.
Forbidden answers.
Man-Tolkien's universe.
You know what?
Why are we leaving that out?
The kingdom of men.
Aragorn.
All right.
They're included.
You must pull your pants down when you pee.
you must return to the toilet you're my captain i would have followed you anywhere
after the bathrooms to the urinals after you take those bad boys off you must stand tall
all right you shall not stand the obvious one is piss yeah come on now come on come on now all
right so like any topics that also describes this question manners and etiquette boom bathroom
etiquette standing bathrooms clothing and apparel hygiene human behavior done done done done
Don, we're getting an answer next week.
We're getting an answer.
People are going to have good answers.
They're not going to leave cryptic,
oh, I dated a skinwalker,
but I'm not going to talk about it.
I'm not going to tag any writers.
And then if this doesn't work,
I guess we got to start tagging writers.
Yeah, let's just start tagging writers
that are very weird questions.
Hello, Steven.
And if we're not getting answers,
I think Chris Beecroft in clothing and apparel
