Too hot.
Oh, well, save that for the show.
It's part of the weather report.
The fact that it's hot?
Yes, the weather report.
It's Quarators.
And you're back at Jeremy's house
for another week of Quarators,
America's premier Quora-based podcast with Alex, Jeremy, and Claire.
Hello.
How's it going, Alex?
Oh, quite well.
And you?
I'm all right.
I'm charmed.
Well, this week's Quora weather report, it's too hot now.
It's way too hot.
Alex had to change his shirt.
Yeah, I brought two shirts because I knew I was going to fucking strip through the first
one, just blast through it with a gush from 10 minutes on a bike.
Alex, you're a sweaty guy.
Yes, that's true.
This is something I learned about you.
It is known.
Now it is known.
Yeah.
It's kind of my Game of Thrones plot twist.
It doesn't come up much in podcasting, I've found.
I haven't had a lot of people come up to me on the street and be like,
you were sweating too much for that last recording.
People come up to you on the street a lot, though, about your podcast.
They do, and I'm sick of it.
In Park Slope.
If you see a celebrity, let them go.
It doesn't matter how much they sweat.
Maybe you see me.
Maybe you see the ghost of DMX.
Just mind your business.
Damn, I forgot he's dead.
Shout out.
Somebody recognized me from this podcast.
Really?
At a bar in Bed-Stuy.
See, you act like it can't happen, can't you?
But I think it was from my voice.
What's up, Ryan?
I said, I hope this happens to me.
It's going to happen.
It's actually going to happen.
It's going to be a greater spump.
More of a curse than a blessing.
Did they recognize you by your feet?
Because I feel like that's a big part of your presence at this point on the podcast.
I know those feet.
I know those hogs.
What did I try to say?
Hogs?
Hogs?
I think hogs.
I know those hogs.
I know those hogs.
Yeah, I think of my voice.
I was like talking to him for a while and he goes, wait, your name's Claire.
Wow, that's huge.
Oh my God.
Are you Jeremy's wife?
You must be Jeremy's wife.
If you're a new listener to the show, Jeremy's wife has the same exact name as Claire.
Anyway, we got a hell of a show for you this week.
We got a big comedian all the way in from New York City.
This is a first of a kind here.
We're very excited to have him in.
you may have seen him on the hit show Abolish Everything
where he was taking
it to the system. We have Ryan Seawiz
here. Ryan? Thank you for having me.
Thanks for coming on down.
You're a man
of the internet.
You love going on there and
interacting with the mods.
You ever been on Quora before?
I have been on Quora. I was really big into
Yahoo Answers back when that was
a thing. Were you questioning or
answering? I was answering.
I was answering, but then I stopped because there was literally, literally there was one
question that was like, is it better to be overdressed or underdressed for an event?
And I said, it's better to be overdressed.
And then someone responded to that and said, overdressed?
You could tell that a fashion priss wrote that.
Whoa.
Fashion priss?
And that was the end.
That was the end.
I said, no more.
No more.
I removed my three-piece suit there at the desktop.
So you are now established as a fashion priss.
If you're watching the show right now,
Ryan is wearing a t-shirt and jeans.
Well, I will say that you do look like Casey Salingo
if you had a job.
Okay.
Oh, thank you.
So kind of if he was a priss.
You don't hear the word priss much, I think,
is what's getting so much longevity out of this for me.
That's kind of what made it stick with me, too.
That's the only time I've ever been called that.
Prissy.
That was like a nicer time in the internet, though.
I feel like now, like on Twitter,
if you had that conversation,
they would just send you your address back to you.
Yeah.
Yes, with a picture of, like, a gun.
Right, so that you know about guns.
Yeah, this is what a gun is.
I just feel like it's worth establishing
that Ryan is not, like, in a three-piece suit,
because sometimes you do get comedians who are like,
I can only perform when I'm at the Met Gala.
Name names, Alex.
Well, Alan Strickland-Williams does that.
Oh, okay.
Paul F. Tompkins does that.
John Mulaney had an arc where he only wore suits.
I once had to drive
Paul F. Tompkins around
as a sketch fest
when I was volunteering
Was he like hunting someone?
No
That was a dangerous game
I picked him up from a show
and then I dropped him off at his hotel
and he was with a group of people
in my car
I'm driving them around
they're like talking about
how people don't dress well enough
on stage as stand-ups
and like how everybody dresses like shit
and they're a bit
They look like a bum
They were being very prissy about it
I should say
They were being like pretentious
and it really kind of bummed me out.
Well, honestly, like, that's what a fashion priss is,
is he was accusing you of being Paul F. Tompkins,
which in many cases is a great compliment.
So that's kind of what we're talking about here.
I don't personally feel the urge to dress in a three-piece suit,
but that's also mainly, and we were addressing this before,
I just get too hot.
I get too hot, it's not going to look good.
What do you think about that?
I feel like a worm, like a slimy slug worm.
We did an episode with you in a suit once.
We did.
And I got very hot.
It was kind of nasty.
Was it filmed?
Yeah, it was filmed.
I was doing like a promotional Kickstarter video at the end where I needed to be in a suit.
So without explanation, I was just wearing a suit for the bonus two episodes of Quarriors in a row.
Do you guys wear shorts on stage?
Yes.
Not usually, no.
I insist.
It depends.
I mean, like, I don't have a problem with it.
People have problems with it.
I know.
It's strange.
If it's like 95 degrees outside, I'm like, what do you want me to be soaking wet up there?
You want me to have swamp ass?
It's also like we're here at this largely unpaid talent show.
I don't think you have a reward to hold over my head with a dress code.
Go to hell.
Anyway, I got a little mad there, but we're going to move on past that.
This week's theme is battle strength.
I could not think of an organic phrase that kind of combined these two words,
so we made a new one.
Ryan, do you ever fight?
No.
Okay.
Me either, really.
Most people don't
It is illegal
So keep that in mind
Try to avoid doing it
Fighting is absolutely illegal
What if you're defending a woman's honor
I still don't think you could do it
Because then it's assault
Unwanted touching is assault
What if you're defending yourself
If you're defending yourself
I'm sorry I got distracted by the TV thing
If you're defending yourself that's okay
But the other guy is then breaking the law
That's the whole thing about the defense part
Is that somebody broke the law
So somebody's always breaking the law.
Yeah, someone's always breaking the law.
I guess if you go like, there are apps for this,
like hookup apps for fighting where it's like fighters in your area
and you go meet in an alley and slug each other.
That's actually okay as long as no one.
Is that real?
They're a real thing?
Yeah.
It's like sexy singles in your area now?
Yeah, real powerful warriors in your area.
And you go find them and you beat the hell out of them.
Alex is just very confused about what field is.
He thinks it's for fighting people.
In my experience, you go and you just finish the thing.
They are sort of hitting each other on there for sexual purposes.
You have any stories about that?
Yeah.
Not for now?
But not for now.
Not for now, okay.
Because someone's got to fix the TV.
Jeremy's watching like Disney Plus on here or something.
If the TV keeps not working, I might share a story.
My TV is so broken.
It's getting worse and worse.
I just need to get a new one, but I've been too lazy.
Have you heard of liquid nails, Ryan?
My TV screen fell off.
No, I don't know what that is.
It's sort of glue.
Okay.
My TV screen fell off, and I had to use liquid nails.
It's a fancy name for glue.
But now you can kind of, this isn't interesting at all,
but you can see when the screen is working on the right,
there's like a bunch of jizzy-looking glue on the side of the screen at all times.
It got glazed.
Which is really exciting.
Anyway, I'm going to have to plug in the HDMI because it's taking too long.
Don't worry about that.
But anyway, if you have any great stories about fighting people on from field.
Yeah, that would be the time.
There was a guy.
There was some, but there's no way he'll ever listen.
Yeah, it's legally bulletproof.
I will be your lawyer in a court of law.
You're legally bulletproof.
I've been trying to, like, not share so much about my life.
Oh, you've been doing a bad job.
i know surprisingly i am like telling less than i normally do but because i live such a um uh
on the edge lifestyle i'll tell you the story about a guy who i met on field who went his his
nom de plume was nipple lover okay oh we've heard about this guy you've heard about nipple lover
wait have i talked about we all have the t-shirts yes i think we did like a long time okay sorry
Forget it.
No, it's okay.
I was going to talk about the guy who hit,
but I don't want to do that.
That's fine.
For reasons we were discussing before,
maybe actually a tenuous character.
Well, shout out to Nipple Lover.
I believe you talked about him on our bonus episode.
Oh, yeah.
This is all stuff for the bonus episode.
That's what it is.
If you pay us money,
you could hear about this guy who loves nipples.
Who's the nipple despiser?
Everybody does kind of like nipples.
I agree with that.
I think there are people out there, like, serious, like, vegans.
Vegan guys.
Because they, like.
Because mama's milk comes out.
Because they giveth the milk.
Well said, Claire.
I won't drink breast milk because I'm vegan.
There's no breast milk in this, right?
I'm vegan.
This week's theme is battle strength.
And we'll be starting with our space of the week.
A guy who, like, really doesn't want to eat pussy.
And he's like, I'm vegan.
so I can't go down on you.
Yeah.
I won't eat meat.
I just know I'm going to munch it all up.
This is our Space of the Week.
Space of the Week.
I love when the computer,
the TV doesn't work
because then I get to lean in
and go really far.
This week's space is
Return to Street Survival.
One of our favorite spaces.
We end up back on here,
I would say at least once a month.
It has the most knowledgeable
street survivalists.
It teaches you how to learn to be safe and prepared
no matter where you are in any city or slum.
This is the question.
What is one-on-one fighting formula in our reality?
Interesting.
Okay, so what does that mean?
I think what they're saying is like,
okay, so I train every day at the dojo
on how to do a one-on-one karate duel,
but in our reality,
when I'm in the street with street punks,
what are the odds that I'm going to be able
to use these skills?
Now, that's written very poorly,
so I'm not sure that's what that's saying,
but that's like the most charitable interpretation
of this question.
I agree.
Finding formula.
I think it might be a guy
who's playing a lot of video games
and he's doing combos
and he wants to know
how to bring that into real life.
He wants to know
if he can do the Kazama 10-hit combo
in meat space.
Well, he wants to know
what's the opening move
in real life.
Yeah.
What's the best opening?
Sure you can.
Sure you can.
Sure you can.
Quarter circle forward
and then heavy punch.
And we're all very impressed.
Now, anyway, I didn't quite get it right,
but I'm not confident enough in the inputs.
Anyway, the point is, I think you can use all that stuff.
The one-on-one fighting formula is just whatever you've already been working at.
I'm no expert in street survival myself.
I'm just a lowly artist and professor of sorts.
You survived this long?
Yeah, on the street.
No one's killed me yet.
Did you ride your bike here?
I did.
And I did almost hit a truck.
this is an answer from a guy named nick uh who whose bio says uh passionate about all things
security cool hey do you read this guy in field i also think he might be like an ai generated image
but i don't know this looks i think that's just what white people be looking you know what white
people do be looking like i have three cousins who are nick anyway he says sorry bub but there's
No formula for fighting.
Humans aren't static creatures, nor are we robots.
I love that.
Nothing we do naturally is scripted.
You shouldn't be fighting anyway.
That's for animals and children.
You went Wolverine mode on this guy.
Holy shit.
That does sound AI.
If you call me Bub, I've got to leave the internet after this.
I'm recovering from that.
He capitalized the B in Bub.
Yeah.
So, yeah.
Sorry.
So, you know, it's a name.
Yeah, it's a proper noun to him.
It's not just a word.
Fighting is for animals and children.
You're passionate about all things security.
You're the animals and children.
Yeah, how can you be passionate about security but not...
How can an animal be passionate about security?
He's a security officer who argues his way out of every problem.
Yeah, he's got the dialogue skill.
He can convince anyone to leave the club.
An intellectual soldier.
John says, describe your reality.
that's a fine follow-up.
Sure.
Wait, go up.
There's an answer from Master Robert Kopischke.
Where does he master?
The bottom.
Oh, you're right.
Master Robert Kopischke is the founder
of Waitet Dragon Combat System.
Okay, go off, Robert.
He says the reality...
Kopischke.
Kopischke is his name.
Although it is all caps in a way.
It's like, is this an acronym?
I don't think it is.
Is this an acronym for being Polish?
Read it.
The reality is that fighting is unpredictable
and stupid it should be avoided whenever and however possible nobody wins a fight one person
walks away with fewer injuries the only one uh only way to be the one to walk away if a fight
is completely unavoidable is to respond to an attack with overwhelming violence whoa and that's
uh that's master robert kapischke signing off white hat dragon combat i love how level-headed
everyone in this thread is no one is um you know milking the violence dragon well um what could
overwhelming violence
why
that's
sort of like
constant
slapping
have you read
Ender's Game
kind of like the stuff
that happens in that
you have to get all naked
and cover yourself
in soap basically
Kapishk
can I just say
Master Robert Kapishk
is absolutely a
suits on stage guy
yeah
just from the one picture
we have of him
he's fully
Paul F. Tompkins
mode on that
you can kind of tell
he's kind of yoked
because he's
he looks great
I wish I was him
neck is busting out
again I would love
to have one
Sordid Knight with any of these fine
fellows. Jeremy's just on Google
doing something now. I tried looking up
Whitehead Dragon Combat System,
which Google really doesn't like me searching.
It wants me to search White Dragon Combat. Maybe it is
White Dragon Combat System. But that one
is unrelated to...
That seems like maybe some sort of D&D
thing, rather than specific
to Robert Kapiszka.
Go to his profile. Go to
Robert's profile. Yeah, there's not
too much on there. His job is Headmaster,
which is really good.
That's a really good job.
That's the one you want to get
if you're a master.
I'm going to follow him.
I'm going to start sweeping the floors
until I get up there.
You don't know that you're
actually training yourself.
He has 560 answers
but only one question
because the master doesn't talk
until he's asked.
He also does not like
the Jaden Smith Karate Kid movie.
His response is,
what don't you like about the movie?
He said, because it sucked.
Yeah, he's mostly talking about the Karate Kid show and movies.
Yeah, he's talking about a decent amount of,
if you're feeling jacked up, should you start a fight?
Which is a great question.
And he says, no, that would be nothing but trouble for you.
Only a fool starts a fight.
If you're feeling jacked up, go do some breathing exercises
or work it out in the gym.
Master Robert Kaposchki.
This guy is so level-headed.
I love him.
What is his combat system?
That's what I tried Googling.
This is unfortunate because the thing that you got to understand, Ryan,
is Quora's search
pretty much is useless.
Right.
Wait.
This question,
do you prefer black people
to leave you alone?
And he answers,
if I did,
Jamaica wouldn't be
my home away from home.
That's so true.
Smallest victory.
Yeah.
You got capished.
He's broke.
Ryan, you ever get
in a fight street?
I've been in one fight.
It was when I was like
six years old.
Children and animals.
Yeah, children and animals.
So I'm abiding
by uh robert's uh mythology mythology um but i was like we were playing like pickup football
and for some reason this this like looking back i i i slapped this guy across the face just because
i was like this is funny this will be he'll think it's funny and i do that he did not think it was
funny children often have this dynamic of like i think a slap could really be received well yeah
Well, yeah, slapstick, something.
So I was like, okay, this will be like wacky.
And then like, and then I immediately after doing it,
seeing the look on his face, I knew like, all right, this, this,
that was the first joke I've bombed.
Do you have any brothers?
No.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
My sister would, would wail on me a little bit.
She put me in my place.
But yeah, he just, he, he, he jumped on me.
I was like, all right, this is, this is what I get.
I don't know where this is coming from.
Yeah.
What are you doing?
I thought we were doing Three Stooges.
I used to hate when the worst middle school violence was when the guys would hit you in
the back of the knee kind of thing.
That sucks.
Oh, I don't like that.
I hate that.
And getting tabletopped, which we have discussed.
I hate getting tabletopped.
Kids are mean.
It's not funny just because I'm tall to knock me on the ground lowly like a tree.
That is funny.
This one kid in middle school used to always get my ass by he'd go up to me and go, you
have a boner.
And I'd look down and go, what?
because I thought it looked like I had a boner.
And then you'd go, oh, you don't know if you have a boner?
And then everyone would laugh at me.
During that time, sometimes you just don't know, too.
Sometimes you're middle school and look down, uh-oh.
Hey, everyone, Jeremy's sensation isn't what it should be.
Ha, ha, ha, ha.
That's right.
I had a medical condition.
Yeah, I have child ED.
There's nothing to joke around about.
That would suck.
Jamaica's probably way from home.
um anyway i love this guy oh it's like to have boners all the time oh sure i think it's great
yeah i guess if your child ed is the other way around you have constant
it's still dysfunctional it's like how you give uh adderall to people with add to make them focus
you know right yeah yeah i think this guy's a really good life kapish kapish yeah he's in jamaica
all the time he's invented the combat dragon style should we see if other people have asked
do you prefer black people to leave you alone or should we save that for our big race war episode
We can't keep hyping it every week, Jeremy.
I don't have enough stuff yet.
People are going to lose their minds.
You should save that for race war.
Save it for race war.
Because there are Australians in there saying some wacky stuff.
Okay.
Save it for race war.
One of our beautiful listeners,
could you put that in our Discord?
Because I've already closed it.
Go find it.
Find it, listeners.
By the way, join the Discord.
Okay, here's another question.
What is the best case of, quote,
you just picked a fight with the wrong person that you've witnessed?
So I noticed everyone who answered this question had a fantastic thing to say.
Okay, so first of all, I feel like person is like the wrong word objectively here, right?
I feel like you've never heard, it's so formal.
It's guy.
You just picked a fight with the wrong person.
Right.
It should be guy.
This is really a comment on the is guy gender neutral discourse.
But I would like to answer this question and say Hillary Clinton versus Donald Trump.
Whoa.
She warned us.
She picked the fight with the wrong person.
She picked the fight with the wrong person.
In this case, Donald Trump.
Our 45th and 47th president.
He's a person.
He's objectively a person.
I can't think of anything too exciting from my life,
but every single answer on this is so good.
We have one from Charles Kendrick at the top.
I have not read this one.
Read it.
He's a witness of strange events.
If it's anything like all the other ones, I think it would be good.
I had a friend for a while who went by Shin.
Great start.
that nickname was earned in part because he was a devotee of variant thai kickboxing where a key
part of training is to make the shins into weapons that nickname was earned because he was a large
godzilla uh when training as a kid he would repeatedly kick palm trees at maximum force
until he felt little pain in the bone mass in front of his shin had thickened into plate armor
i saw him i saw him kick a parking meter in san francisco on a dare what who's daring you to kick
a parking meter. No way will you kick that
parking meter. That fucking sucks.
Prove it to me, Shin.
The metal pole rang
and vibrated after his strike. If Shin
felt any pain, he did not show it.
Shin worked as a bouncer at a bar
club in Oakland. How long is this?
Where the patrons were almost entirely
black, mostly working class. One day a bunch of
neo-Nazis showed up at the club wanting to brawl.
They literally were bussed in.
Oh, they came in on a bus.
You thought they were bussed in?
It took a second to
contextualist. Shin was at the door.
22 people went to the hospital that night.
Shin was not among them.
Well, I should say they were serving sort of a bad
sushi and everyone got food poisoning.
That's probably what happened.
This is the best fake story
I've heard in my entire life.
It has Chuck Norris vibes.
It really does. I believe you have a friend
who did Mai Tai, but the 22
people on the busted Nazi bar
thing doesn't sound very likely.
I've been trying to find work and I've been working part time
as a bus driver for Nazis
and they're so annoying.
They're always singing songs.
They're doing 99 bottles of Heineken on the wall or whatever.
There's a sign by the door that says,
do not purge the bus driver.
Let's go down.
I like Shin.
Big fan of Shin.
I hope he shows up later in the theme.
This is from Alex.
Not me.
A different one.
Read it.
By the way, he was a former religious and is now secular.
Jehovah's Witness.
I had a judo teacher, Steve Reardon.
People love doing full names on this fucking website.
He was my Mr. Miyagi and also my high school English teacher
and about 60 years old at the time.
Nice.
Ooh, yummy.
For judo, we used the same practice area as the high school wrestling team.
The wrestling coach, Jim, was just a mean person
and would hassle Steve all the time about inane things.
Steve would brush it off.
Jim was younger, fit, and a former college wrestler.
Steve was always taught that we would only use judo in self-defense.
Judo, the gentle way.
And judo, the art of hitting someone with a planet.
What?
What does that mean?
That's what it's called.
We'll find out later.
One day I was talking with Steve in an empty hallway when Jim came up and started yelling at him.
Something stupid about practice schedules.
Then Jim started poking Steve in the chest aggressively.
Then he physically two-hand pushed Steve.
I've never seen Steve move so fast.
He grabbed Jim's arm, wrapped him up for a major outside hip throw,
if I remember.
Jim's whole body was up by one shoulder level
before being slammed into the floor,
and you could hear the crunch and air rush out of him
when he was hit with a planet, in quotes.
What does this mean?
Jim never did bug Steve again.
Jim never did bug Steve again.
Saying it's the art of hitting someone with a planet
is like a Chekhov's gun situation.
A Chekhov's gun.
in the first act you see a planet
in act three
Steve will throw Jim
into the planet
also it sounds like he really escalated
from a poke into a full
hip throw thing
shout out to Steve
hip throw is
ogoshi
is the one arm shoulder throw
judo does mean gentle way
I've never heard the part about being hit with a planet
shut the fuck up
this is Edward Leahy
uh he studied at repone college lives in earth oh oh so if you see him around at earth uh you can
you can tell him he doesn't need to be pedantic wait see we have a during the vietnam war story
here yeah there's a vietnam war is this gonna be about judo somehow i'm scared he says i was
drafted into the u.s army as the oldest and shortest white guy in my boot camp company
being only five six i will say race comes into play here soon and i think in a way that maybe
Oh, you know what?
A bunch of things coming into play in a way.
Maybe we don't want to read this one.
Yeah.
It's a full metal jacket in this answer.
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
You can go to the YouTube if you want to see that for yourself.
Check out the Vietnam War.
Vietnam War was so messed up.
Check out Operation Phoenix.
Oh, never mind.
I don't know why.
Oh, wait.
Never mind.
I thought for some reason if I looked up this guy, Steve Reardon,
and that it would be like Steve Weirden is a legendary judo master.
And an English teacher.
It's too many white guy names in a row.
Yeah, there's too many of them.
I apologize to you, good Jeremy.
Do you guys have any teachers who kicked ass?
Not one.
I don't think so.
Oh, wait, I actually did.
I had this teacher.
I talk about this guy way too much on this podcast.
I had a football coach who was a health teacher in my school
who we all had to call Coach Paz.
And one time there were these kids fucking around,
fighting each other or whatever.
and he was so excited
to beat these kids up
and he sprinted
from the school
to the football field
and apparently
tackled them both
by the neck
onto the ground
and kept saying
not today kids
not today
that rocks
I wish I was him
yeah he was a crazy guy
I wish I was him
I wish I had his life
he was always
talking about his vasectomy
that was his big thing
he would say
I'm shutting down the shop
that was insane
I feel like teachers
should not be talking
about their cotton balls
you cannot get pregnant
by me
His name was Coach Paz.
He was barely a teacher.
Try as you might.
Coach Paz got that vasectomy.
We're totally safe to have intercourse with Coach Paz in terms of pregnancy.
His big health tip was that he would tell us about the jiggle test,
which is what he would do.
He would get completely naked and then jump up and down in front of a mirror
and see how much he jiggles.
And I talked about him on this podcast because he was eventually fired
for saying the N-word at our school.
That's the logical conclusion.
It was a hard day after the jiggle test.
Yeah.
A lot of negativity swarming around there.
Anyway.
Yeah, there's over 600 answers on this.
Yeah, we don't need to read all of these.
It's kind of hard to find.
They're all really great.
But if you want to have like a whole day on Quora,
feel free to plug in this question
because there's a lot of good stuff in here.
Yeah, believe it or not,
a lot of people on Quora have been beaten up.
Let's do the Quoker.
Okay.
This is a theme song that Alex made.
Are Virgos good at fighting?
What do you think?
I don't know enough about astrology, I don't think.
What's your sign again?
Me?
I think I'm Scorpio.
Yeah, he's deceptive.
I'm an Aries, which is a fiery sign, and he's very passionate.
I'm a Virgo.
I'm a double Virgo, actually.
This is why we had you in this week.
Actually.
Lend some expertise here.
So far from the one story you've told that does not seem as if you're good at fighting.
What are the traits of a Virgo?
Like your routine, I think.
So I think I would say my gut answer would be no,
Virgo's not good at fighting,
but unless fighting is part of your routine, then they're fine.
Then you'd be really good at it.
You'd do it every day.
I think Virgos are very passionate about the things that they do.
Or like Virgos really like, if they like music,
they really like music.
Oh, if they like fighting, they fight everyone they see.
What's your sign, Claire?
Pisces.
Nice.
Ooh.
Fish mode.
I've gone fish mode.
I'm interested to see the answers on this.
I am kind of, I'm entertained by.
Oh, yeah, strategic thinking.
Virgos are also good at school.
Oh.
Good for you.
Were you good at school, Ryan?
I was, but in such a way that I had to put so much effort
that I'm like, I'm just a dumb guy.
There's no way.
I think that's what being a Virgo is all about.
Yeah.
Okay.
What is that?
According to this guy...
What is this shit?
There's a doctor here who has listed the credentials of various astrologers.
You bring this shit to me!
Alan Leo apparently says they are detail-oriented.
This is not helpful to me.
Deven Forrest says...
The servant, the martyr, the perfectionist, and the analyst are all archetypes of the Virgo.
And the virgin.
The virgin, which is the symbol of Virgo, seeks perfection and freedom.
This is not answering the question at all.
But you would agree that April Elliot Kent says Virgo is an earth sign
and earth signs are practical, resourceful, and reliable.
I would agree with that.
You would agree with that, at least.
All right, hold on.
The AI bot here says that they're not good at fighting.
It does not correlate to physical fighting skills.
Yeah, you're too busy analyzing the reason for the violence.
So AI is trying to train Virgos not to fight.
being how I'm a Virgo
I have to admit
I'm the greatest fighter
anybody has ever seen
problem is nobody
has ever seen me
let's look at Jerry
what fucking riddle is this
this guy is jacked
okay
Jerry is an old
jacked guy
right
I mean
he's pro Trump
no he is
he's pro Trump
of course he is
he's contributed
to the top 200
greatest boxers
of all time
nice
and bible questions
to scholars
saints and disciples
yes one question
why is there such a level
of black cultural violence
in America today
this has become
the race war episode.
Unfortunately, this is kind of like
the hobbit to the race war episode,
Lord of the Rings.
It's an important precursor
that sets the stage.
That's just what the website is.
I don't know what to tell you.
His answers to all these questions
are in the form of questions.
He's got a lot to say
about the continent of Africa.
The point is that he's a Virgo who fights.
Wait, I like this.
question. How do I properly
dispose of the numerous guns I was forced
to confiscate from my conservative neighborhood?
And then Jerry asks,
who the fuck are you?
Who the fuck are you? He'll kill you.
You took my gun.
That's a question designed
to make this guy mad.
That was jackpot
for him. Yeah, that was bait, dog.
You fell for it. That was bait.
Kind of like, something
happened this week to him where he
is something with a black person
and he's looking up a lot of stuff about
black people. Yeah, these are from, like, Tuesday.
He answered this question.
My son thinks he is Adolf Hitler reincarnated.
What should I do? And he says, send him to Germany.
What a neutral answer that is.
Is that positive or negative?
It's neutral.
I guess he just thinks Germany needs him
or something. Again?
I don't know.
That's just where Adolf Hitler goes.
And he's got a picture of Bernie Sanders' house.
There's a lot going on on this guy.
I don't think we should read it anymore
just because he's a Virgo.
He's a Virgo.
I forgot about that.
That guy gives us a bad name.
We can move on to the next question.
I feel like we've explored this.
This guy Just Me says,
let's find out.
I'm up for it if you are.
So this guy says you can come fight him.
That's from Just Me.
A picture of a sunset.
A beautiful account.
Have you ever just woke up
and felt nothing for your FP at all?
It's like they never existed.
is his most recent question.
Yeah, what's an FP?
Is that like a cheating thing?
I can't remember now.
I remember we did an episode
where we went on a bunch of cheating subreddits
and they had all these acronyms for like...
Former partner?
I can't remember.
I kind of remember.
Female partner?
No.
Forlorn?
I don't remember.
Person?
There is like on Reddit.
Let me look.
It was Reddit adultery.
We are already way off text here.
I think that's fine.
Isn't he got a Simpsons character?
AP, like alternate partner or something like that?
Yeah, dude, I don't remember.
I think just because it has an acronym, it's about adultery.
You're just remembering a different thing.
No, the question is, if FP is like, let's say, your wife,
and then your AP is the person you're cheating with,
then this question makes perfect sense if that's what it is.
I don't think that's what it is.
Would you like to click it?
Would you like to click it and get to the bottom of this?
There's not any battling in it.
I'll tell you that.
Well, he's battling his anxiety about his love life.
Oh, I think it just means former partner.
Oh, maybe some sort of narcissistic.
Oh, no, it's about narcissism, yep.
I did exactly that after six years of being with a narcissist
and me having BPD just yesterday.
I woke up, looked at him, and instantly got sick to my stomach.
Is it fucking partner?
Someone says I'm not sure what FP means,
but I have definitely woken up and realized that I was no longer in love.
Okay, upvote for you, sir, because I don't know what it is either.
And that's a comment from Top Shelf Crazy.
Which is a great username.
I think I'm right, and I think I will be vindicated when I go to heaven.
I don't even know what we're doing anymore.
Could you please go to the next question?
Fine, fine.
Here's another question.
Does getting hit make your body stronger, or are you a better fighter?
Finally.
I think it does.
Tissue resilience.
The AI bot is already trying to answer all these.
Why are you putting an AI bot into Quora?
It kind of cuts off the need to have Quora.
Yeah.
You know, there's no community discussion
if the AI bot is just stopping everybody from answering.
It doesn't want you to get stronger is why.
Because Quora knows that if its users become too powerful,
who knows what they're capable of.
They're going to start questioning.
The army of Quora users.
How is that B?
Can you respond to an AI answer?
I don't think you can.
No, you can't.
No, you can't.
That would be chaos.
I've seen a lot of videos of really strong guys
where they have somebody punch them in the tummy
while they do something.
Have you seen those?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I don't know if that's to cause swelling
and then maybe make their abs more swollen.
I think it's maybe just be like,
no way can you do a bench press
while I wail on you like that.
People definitely do it.
I think if you want to be a good fighter,
you do have to be able to get hit really hard.
That makes sense.
I'm also watching a lot of power slap.
A lot of people can give it out
and they cannot take the slap.
Ryan, have you heard of power slap?
No.
This is Alex's favorite TV show.
It's Dana White's latest project.
Can we please look up Power Slap real quick?
I have an idea what it might be.
Power Slap is a sport, quote unquote, where two-
This is like what you did to that guy that one day.
Very large men just slap the shit out of each other
until one of them has a concussion.
I find it so disturbing I can't watch it.
It's really fun.
Alex watches it and just laughs and laughs.
They have seasons of it.
It's a reality show.
I like that they put talcum powder on their hands.
Yes.
cloud comes off. She can see it. That lets you know
when the slap happens.
It is dystopian. And they're all guys with
really nice big cheeks.
Really big cheeks you wanna
slap. It's truly
something out of like a Hunger Games ripoff
where like you watch it and
the before part where they're all like
if I win I'm gonna use this
to pay for my daughter's medicine.
She has cancer. And then they're like great.
And then someone smacks them in the face.
Until they fall to the ground and like shake.
Well, you only get one slap, but what I've learned from the show
is it's a lot easier to knock someone unconscious with a slap
than you would guess.
If you asked me before I started watching Power Slap,
can you knock someone unconscious with a slap, I'd say no.
But actually, it's super easy.
People do it all the time.
This guy's name is The Hawaiian versus Dumpling?
They've fought two or three times.
I've seen all of them.
I really thought that this was a guy named Hawaiian Dumpling at first.
No, his name is Da Crazy Hawaiian.
Oh, sorry.
Please put some respect on his name.
He's one of the reigning champions.
That's Barack Obama, you said?
No.
His name is Da Crazy Hawaiian.
Not to be confused with Da Hawaiian Assassin,
who is in a lower weight class.
But anyway, Da Crazy Hawaiian versus Dumpling
was really disappointing
because they're both like 400 pounds
and then no one really could damage each other at all.
And it goes on for like seven rounds or something.
I don't know, I'm looking at all these pictures
of Donald Trump popping up.
It's because you brought them up earlier, Claire,
and the computer heard you.
It's based on the other stuff we've been clicking,
what they assume we want to see.
You will need power to take a direct hit and stay strong.
All you've learned is how to take the punch,
but not how to take prolonged punches.
This is what I've been saying.
Getting hit won't give you neither strength,
stronger body, or skills in fighting.
All you just learn is how to take a punch.
It's not a skill, but it's more of a mental power that can be trained.
That's from James Chen.
Mental toughness.
who is a boxing coach and also a beautiful picture of a waterfall sort of waterfall also it's he's
definitely an esl situation i don't think yeah i think he speaks he speaks mandarin he's actually
a wise teacher of uh of boxing great thank you james chen i'm gonna move on to the other question
this seems like a more juicy one if a car weighing 3 000 pounds had a bar on the roof and a strong
man was above the car can he lift the entire car up off the ground no part of the car still
touching the ground
with his hands
even if it's around
an inch or so
briefly
oh brother
so okay
he's standing
on the car
he's above
how is he above
the car
he above the car
he's on like
a ladder baby
is he like
swinging
like trapeze style
his feet
are hanging
on a thing
he's upside down
he's reaching
for the bar
that's on top
of this
3,000 pound car
yeah I think so
I don't
it doesn't say
anything about
trapeze. What were you saying, Ryan?
I'm picturing a Mission Impossible
type thing where he's suspended by
something, some sort of crane or something.
If he had a baby that
was under the car...
Then a mother could do it, for sure.
She's even stronger than a strongman.
I think the question from the way that it's
phrased is, could a strongman deadlift
3,000 pounds for an inch?
For an inch?
No.
It's too heavy. 3,000 pounds?
The answer is yes. Experts say that you
should get this bar installed on your
car as a safety measure in case a
really strong firefighter has to pull
you out of something. Now, if you're listening to the
show, it's important you understand Jeremy's using his lying
voice.
Where he spreads misinformation.
The top answer on the question
is from Malcolm Sargent,
who's a trained chemist, and he says
no, the world record deadlift is
1,105 pounds, which is still like
big. That was from June 14th
though, so that was like a full
month ago. So that might have been
beaten by it might have been tripled is it can we watch a video of the world record deadlift or
is that bad for podcasts yeah i don't think that's bad for podcast anymore we don't always
need to look up a video of the first thing that comes to mind every question i just for my i just
want to do that i just want to do that i think we should do i've been watching a lot of deadlift
videos they're not very interesting well i want to see someone like the veins in someone's head
It almost popped me.
Sure.
All right.
This is Halfthor Bjarnsson.
Show me.
I think he's...
Is this not the mountain from Game of Thrones?
This guy?
I think it is.
No.
I wasn't sure.
That's why they picked him for the show
is because he's a famous deadlifter.
I don't know.
It might be.
I think he might be a DJ, that guy, too.
Okay.
So we're looking at a guy who's...
This guy does not look real.
He looks like a drawing.
It looks like a Rob Liefeld drawing.
his head is so tiny
he's so large
he looks like
fucking photoshopped
or something
yeah this is from
five years ago
yeah he looks like
a toy
yeah
well there's no
playing around
with this strong man
so he's got a very
large bar
and there's no car
attached to it
you'll notice again
I've ruined our
YouTube algorithm
with workout videos
okay
he's bent over
there he goes
he's getting his
little feet ready
now you can absolutely
destroy your spine
doing this
so it is kind of
on the watch.
Yeah, you got to do
a jerking motion, right?
Where you're just
going to rip it up.
Put all the weight
on your lower back.
I'm about to jerk it.
He's ready to go.
He's so big, it's crazy.
He's squatting
and he's picking it up.
The bar bends
when he picks it up.
The bar is bending
and it's so heavy.
He did it.
Wow, he really did it.
And that was it.
That's the video.
Cool.
Did you like that?
I did like it, actually.
So you don't have to hold it
even for that long?
No, you just have to lift it up.
It's a thousand pounds.
It's really just the record
of who can lift
the largest thing.
So they don't really care for you. You don't have to do a
pull-up or anything. Deadlifts aren't the most exciting
to watch. I want to see Ryan slap that guy.
I think you should have celebrities in
power slap, but the thing is no one wants to do it
so that won't ever happen. It should be
like a punishment. Yeah.
Like prisoners.
If you did something really bad,
you had to power slap your way out.
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. If we just round up
all the criminals.
Somebody's got to clean up these streets.
Yeah.
And then, you know, Jason Statham's there, maybe,
and he has to do it.
Yeah.
I would watch that movie.
What I do is I slap people.
I don't want to be a power slapper.
I just want to run me a little shop.
Here's a question from Red Pill Crusher.
I would like you to guide me in martial arts
without any pretensions.
How can I know if I'm on equal footing with my opponent
in a street fight in simple terms?
Oh, sorry.
The answer here is from Red Pill Crusher.
Right.
Red Pill Crusher doesn't need to know that he's a professional musician.
He says in simple terms, you're not.
You're a scrub.
Plus, you should be avoiding street fights anyway.
Gilling spree.
Huh.
I need to know about all of these people.
Now, we could click on the question, but we are going to go right into Red Pill Crusher
because he is somewhat of a diva.
Do we know who this is?
Have we seen this before?
Are you Red Pilled, Ryan?
Yeah, actually.
That's why I came on to podcast to get my show.
You said you've had a breakup recently.
you can't air people's dirty laundry like that i just want to know which pill he's taking i'm
red pill for men blue pill for women which pill i don't know which pill do you think is nice i
think that's true yeah i don't think that's part of it yes it is it's do you like women or not
red pill crusher i uh well like women like women yes they're queens okay so that's the blue pill
Take the blue pill and go to the beach.
That sounds blue as heck.
Do you think if I search Red Pill Crusher,
I could find this guy's music?
No!
Absolutely not.
Incel Intel.
What's Incel Intel?
That sounds like a space.
Incel Intel is a space.
Five contributors, three followers.
This is nothing.
Exposing the plague and offering support
to those who wish to escape the prison.
Okay.
He's reviewing the account,
Sid the Proud Anti-Feminist and Proud Anti-Misandrist.
misandrist. I think Red Pill Crusher
is anti-Red Pill.
I think he's crushing the Red Pill.
I think you're right. I thought he was crushing it up to
snort it, and then you can more quickly
take the Red Pill with your bloodstream.
He's an admin of this anti-incel
group. Oh!
I think. That means he's
gotta be a lapsed incel.
But he's gonna fight me?
He has questions like, why are conservatives
obsessed with calling LGBT child
groomers? Okay, so he crushes the Red Pill
but to throw it away. Yeah.
Just because it's not safe to leave in pill form around the house.
He's flushing it down the toilet.
You might take it and think it's Tums or something, but it's the red pill.
Then you get divorced.
Well, the Matrix is all fucked up.
Yeah, he's also in Street Survival and mastering guitar.
Shout out, Red Pill Crusher.
I'm suddenly less interested in Red Pill Crusher.
Yeah, we thought you were a red pill taker.
Now we don't care.
I want to know who asked this question about who's looking for a guide.
Would you believe it brought us back to street survival?
I can't believe that.
We're still in street survival, huh?
We can't get out.
This is S.S.C.
S.S.C.
S.S.C.
He has questions like, based on the questions I ask, what would you guess my IQ is?
Oh, no answers on that.
Should we answer it?
What do you think?
So some of his questions, he says, I always thought I was an autistic genius, that I was
a genius in some areas like math and less talented than others.
Based on my posts, do you think I really am that kind of person?
or is it just a figment of my mind?
I don't like these questions that are just like,
do you like me?
I'm on the fucking internet.
Out of one to ten, how cute am I?
Do you like me?
I like questions about the guy from Tekken, it looks like.
I think this is a baby.
Yeah, this is nothing, man.
All right, then we'll leave him alone.
This guy sucks, but he did ask a very important question
about fighting him if you saw him on the street.
And the point is, I can't fight a genius.
Okay.
The question, again, is I would like you to guide me in martial arts without any pretensions.
How can I know if I'm on equal footing with my opponent in a street fight?
Well, we have an answer from Thunder Miller.
Read it.
Whoa.
Thunder Miller says the simplest answer is feints and responses to feints.
What is that?
What does that mean?
Okay, so feints are like when you're swinging like a butterfly.
You're swinging like a butterfly.
When you're swinging like a butterfly?
No, no.
Is this episode listenable?
No, no.
You're buzzing like a butterfly
And singing like a bee
You're swinging like a bee
Flying like a butterfly
Floating
Floating like a butterfly
Flying like
Fly like a butterfly
Sting like a bee
So when you
You're flip
You're flip
Kiss like a dog
When somebody goes to punch you
Then you actually don't punch them
And it's a feint
Kiss like an uncle
Hug like a nephew
So like a feint
It's always important to do
So if somebody like
winds up and it's like
why I oughta
but then they don't punch you
that's a feint.
That's not like a fake out.
And that's like
have you ever seen
have you ever seen
like a butterfly?
Yeah.
That's kind of what that's like.
Excuse me for not having
you know
Ali's top quotes
off the top of my head
all the time
from our favorite guy
the Fighting Ali.
Sting like a bee.
The first thing that happens
in most professional fights
is an exchange of feints
before any punches are thrown.
If you want to know
whether your opponent
is adept at fighting
Try a few feints and see if he responds by getting into a guard position and fainting back.
I guess what bothers me about this is he puts a G in the word faint five times,
and I don't think one's in there.
He seems like he knows what he's talking about, Alex.
He's Thundermiller.
He did it so many times, too.
I am really questioning myself.
I would be so scared to fight a guy named Thunder.
Yeah, well, because then you're going to feel the lightning.
If you have a son, would you name him Thunder?
Oh, me?
Yeah, you have a child.
You're looking around.
The only one who will create life in this room.
Yes, I would.
Okay, great.
What about Shin?
Shin would be my second son after Thunder.
Provided he has many qualities similar to Godzilla.
What a beautiful family.
Did you see the shins on P-Tax?
It's like plate armor.
He kicked the telephone pole because I told him to.
Now that my computer's on
You can see the black jizz
On the side of my screen
Doesn't it look like that?
It's very faint
I-G-E-N-D-S
Yeah it's kind of like a B
In the way it stings me
Beautifully said Jeremy
I forgot that all these questions
Are fight related
And I was like
Why are we reading so many fights?
Yeah this week's theme
Is battle strength
It's battle strength
This guy says
Equal terms in a street fight
LOL
Bro
You got laughed at
I gotta lock off after this
I'm a 6'2 lean
225 pounds dude
who has taken
martial arts
since he was 12.
Wow,
he's having a real boyfriend.
TSD,
TKD,
MT,
BJJ,
and now AKK.
I don't know what those are.
BJJ is,
I know it's blowjob Jerry,
but I don't know
what fighting it is.
Avoids street fights
at all costs.
That's the first thing
you learn
and it's drilled
into your head
from day one.
If it comes to blows,
I'm not going to be
quote,
fighting.
I'm going to be causing
as much damage
as I can quickly
as quickly as possible
with whatever is available
until I'm in a position to escape.
And this is a big, sexy guy.
Is it?
Yeah, he's six foot two
and 225 pounds.
The picture is of a Bugatti,
so we don't really know.
This is the butt of a Bugatti.
Yeah, you gotta show him the body
and get in the Bugatti.
His one question is,
how is your husband
such an absolute hunk of a man?
Wait, it has three answers.
Do you want to see it?
I sure do.
Cal Thompson says,
maybe not my husband,
but a guy I'd like to marry,
my crush let's name him sunny what the hell is his answer her bio is i've done my research on blm
what does that mean it's how she found her husband um because he is like the gloomy sunshine in the
autumn to me he's five foot seven with blue eyes and brown hair and he's absolutely handsome but
also adorable in a sense he looks like he couldn't hurt a fly and he truly can't but here are some
reasons why he's a hunk one he takes sign language classes maybe the movie koenokatachi
inspired him since it's an anime movie about a deaf girl who uses hand signs it's amazing of
him nonetheless two he builds houses for the poor three extremely honest four extremely forgiving
now based on what we know so far he may be jimmy carter
because i know he builds houses he is 104
yeah i know he's learning sign language after watching the movie koe no katachi
jimmy carter loves anime he's always loved it how to dare uh i don't know what that means uh
he said he has a sorry there's more lists of why he's so handsome uh he has a very loving nature
which surprises why he chose someone like me.
He'd walk the world over for the ones he loves.
He has a thing for dogs, like me.
Now, I think that means that she also has a thing for dogs,
not that she is a dog.
A lowly dog.
Very good, Alex.
And there are so many more that I forgot them,
but Sonny is an absolute stud to me.
I would love if my wife has written something like this
about me on the internet.
That would really make my day.
Yeah.
We're on her profile as Callum Thompson.
and she says, it's nice to see you, chum.
I like books and stuff.
It doesn't look like she's been on here for a while.
She really adores fruit.
She knows about Black Lives Matter and dating.
Cool.
Good for you, Calum.
I don't know that Calum is a girl.
Isn't Calum a boy's name?
Calum.
Calum.
Calum.
I've never heard this name in my life.
I think it's a fake name.
Maybe you're right.
Yeah, there's really no knowing who this person is,
this mysterious Calum.
That's beautiful.
Is Callum talking about their husband
or are they talking about someone they want to have an affair with?
She said it was their crush.
That's what I want to know.
Apropos of nothing, I say answer to a question about someone else.
Yeah.
I think the person who asked the question is a husband
who maybe sent that to his wife or something to be like,
hey, someone wrote this question about me.
Do you want to read more of why is your husband such an absolute hunk of a man?
I just do think it's odd that she's in love with this guy, Sonny,
who she has a crush on
but she says
it surprises her
that he chose her
but it sounds like
it's not true.
I think that's in her fantasy
or his fantasy.
Everyone loves
their little fantasies
on this website.
Everyone wants to escape
into a world
where Sonny chooses them.
Everyone loves
their hunky husband.
Micah Moose says
technically he's my boyfriend
not my husband
but I'll answer anyway.
We're not interested
in marriage
but are committed
to each other
for life.
This is a long answer
of someone describing
her boyfriend.
Do you want to hear about how hunky he is or not?
Not really.
You don't want to hear about a real dreamboat?
I'm sorry.
Maybe the dreamboat set sail for some of us in the room.
It's a little too upsetting to me.
Okay.
Well, here's a paragraph two.
It starts with, to be shallow, he's gorgeous.
Long, shaggy, messy, wavy, dark hair, blue bedroom eyes.
Tall enough for me to wear high heels, but not too tall that I'd have to stand on my tippy toes to kiss him.
I think she's also describing Jimmy Carter.
He's kind of a peanut farmer.
He smells like peanuts.
He's not a big guy, but he hugs like a bear.
He's a Democrat who can shake your dad's hand.
Make your ass clamp.
What did she say?
He's the nation's response to Nixon.
We don't have to read this.
It's fine.
Okay.
Go to the next question.
We're far off of battling, which I know everybody wants to talk about.
Is it this related question?
How do I get a white man as a husband?
That's a really good question.
Talk about something that sounds easy to do.
With these snow apes.
We really have time for like one more.
You know how these snow apes are.
So do you have a specific one you would like to do?
Slobbering for a mate.
Alex, do you have any of these that you think would be the best one to do?
Yes, I do.
Which one is it?
Here it comes.
There's one I just wrote a strongman poem on that I am curious about.
Strongman poem.
Okay, so this is not a question.
this is in the space
the law of attraction
and secret
and it shows a strong man
unlock the hidden potential
within your mind
he's like an army man
I think this is a real photo
it looks real I think
he's all man
he's in a sort of
dank looking office maybe
he's so jacked
he kind of looks like
he's in the navy
so maybe he's in a submarine
maybe he's in a submarine
he looks like Popeye
if Popeye was like
about to get ya
Popeye
oh my god
okay like read this read this poem alex okay you're the one who pulled the knife on me and
my girlfriend threatening our lives and demanded i hand over my black burberry jacket you also went
after her purse and earrings i hope you somehow see this message because there are a few things
i need to say first i'm sorry for your embarrassment i didn't expect you to actually
soil yourself when i drew my pistol after you took my jacket it wasn't that cold out and i was
wearing that jacket for a reason whoa my girlfriend was relieved i'd come home safely for my second
tour as a combat marine in afghanistan and she had bought me that kimber custom model 1911.45
acp pistol for my birthday and we picked it up a shoulder holster for it earlier that evening
you probably agree it's an intimidating weapon when it's pointed at your head
Right?
I'm sure it wasn't pleasant walking back
to wherever you came from with ruined pants.
Whoa.
It must have been even worse barefoot.
Because I made you leave your shoes, phone, and wallet behind.
That way you couldn't call your buddies around for help
to try mugging us again.
Afterward, I called your mother, listed as Mama, in your phone.
That's so mean.
So, okay, there's a lot more of this.
But to be clear, so far the situation is
this guy just got back from afghanistan he's with his girlfriend someone tries to rob him he was
shoulder holsters shopping when it happened he pulls a gun it's the worst day puts the gun to
the guy's head says take off your shoes give me your phone i'm calling your mom and he calls his
mama and he explains everything you've done then i filled up my gas tank and those of four other
people at the station using your credit card that's just illegal the guy with the massive
motorhome took 153
gallons and was pretty
thrilled. I gave your shoes
and all the cash from your wallet to a homeless
guy outside Vinny Van Gogh's.
Made his whole day. Can we look up where
Vinny Van Gogh's is? I am interested in
Vinny Van Gogh's. I know I'm usually
trying to focus, but that's a fascinating
name. Okay, to
continue. Then I tossed your wallet into the
big pink pimp mobile
parked at the car.
After smashing the windshield, breaking
the side window and keying the entire
driver's side. Well, now you're committing a
crime, strong guy.
Earlier, I made two threatening calls to the
DA's office and one to the FBI,
hinting that President Obama
might be my target. The FBI
agent sounded very serious, and we had a
nice long chat, probably while tracing your number.
I don't... Wait, what?
This is what more stuff he did with the phone.
This is taking a crazy turn.
This is before or after the pimp mobile part,
because I feel like you're on a timer with some of these.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, we're almost at the end.
In a way, maybe I should apologize for not killing you.
Yep.
But honestly, I think this kind of payback is a much better punishment for the crime you threatened to commit.
I think this is worse than mugging.
Parentheses, stealing my Burberry jacket.
I hope you managed to sort out these sudden, urgent problems you're facing.
And maybe, just maybe, you'll take some time to rethink the career path you've chosen.
Next time, you might not be so lucky.
Credit to David Thomas.
Who is the founder of Wendy's.
I don't know about that.
Yeah, the Dave Thomas.
So this is not the strong guy in the picture?
I mean, who's to say?
This has 10,000 upvotes, I got to say.
It's upvoted by both Carl Vag and Ochesee Creek, who we follow.
For some reason.
Well, Carl Vag, obviously, because of his one name.
His name is Carl Vag.
I like this guy, Patrick Power.
Patrick Power says,
Fact or fantasy, still had a good laugh regardless.
Wow.
Me too.
I think this is worse than trying to mug someone with a knife.
Yeah.
But you can imagine this cool guy.
This guy is pretty much like Jack Reacher.
They pretty much invented Jack Reacher in this post.
Also, the idea of calling the FBI and being like,
I'm going to kill the president.
I swear to God.
Sorry, I just left my wallet in a pimp mobile.
No, I don't know what my name is.
I'm too busy soiling myself.
Okay, what is Vinnie Van Gogh?
I think the most important part.
My only criticism is that comedy rules of threes is soil yourself.
Should have come back one more time.
Yeah, I think you're right.
Oh, it's in Savannah, Georgia.
It's in Savannah.
Vinnie Van Gogh.
Wait.
A pizza restaurant.
I hear there are a lot of off-duty Marines around there.
Look what's nearby, Alex.
Wendy's.
Whoa.
Maybe it is the guy who owns Wendy's.
Is Dave Thomas' Marine son?
We heard about it later when people were asking him,
what's your son up to?
That looks like the worst piece I've ever seen in my life.
What a fucking small business shout-out in the middle of this post.
I thought this was going to be like a chain or something.
Me too.
Why does it look so bad?
This is New York talking, though.
Look at their logo.
Their logo is a guy, a chef who looks so mad.
Oh, I see.
I'm an idiot.
I was like, why is this chef so angry?
Because he's got to eat that pizza.
His ear hurts.
He wants to paint.
That's no pepperoni.
Ew, look at that big chicken.
All right, we can't just look at pizzas.
It's not a podcast to look at pieces of pizza.
Okay, everybody look up Vinny Van Gogh's in Savannah, Georgia.
Just how unappetizing every single picture is.
It's at 317 West Bryan Street.
I think it looks like a great place.
You should go.
I would love to work there and walk around.
This is the worst looking pizza I've ever seen in my entire life.
I'm telling you, dude.
Wow.
And this is a video.
This is a Hawaiian slice that just looks vile.
There's just chunks of ham, too.
If something's up with maybe the lighting in Vinny Van Gogh's, that's not...
Again, please look this up.
I don't like to judge a slice until I wrap my mouth around it.
That one looks okay.
If we have a listener who lives in Savannah,
can someone go to this pizzeria and tell us if it's any good?
Come on.
Check out the Van Gogh pizzeria.
All right.
Well, we're out of time here, so it's time to do our last segment.
We're going to head on home.
Is that okay?
Okay.
if you want to this is for people who have sent us quora questions if you want to send us one you
can send it at quarators at gmail.com these are questions from you and your life where is this

so much for sending that in there's no way i'm going to be able to top a uh you know a river
fed gulch in tennessee what was the question what's your favorite watering hole well maybe
Maybe we should listen to the questions.
I always got really distracted by the way the question was being asked.
Some of y'all are never around a cowboy in his shows.
You don't know how to act when a cowboy comes to saloon.
You got a watering hole in mind?
I can't think of one.
I think it might be fun to drink some rainwater out of a horse hoof print.
Wow, that is a literal watering hole.
Is watering hole for drinking or for jumping in?
I thought jumping in.
Or is watering hole a bar?
A bar usually is, I think, what the question was.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I'm also thinking...
Or it could be a hoof print in the sand as well.
Those are the two things it could be.
I don't know, man.
I don't go down south that much.
What's your favorite bar here?
My favorite bar?
What's your favorite bar?
I don't think I have a favorite bar.
Is that crazy?
The one where no one knows my name.
I like to be...
Do not behold him.
So any bar.
Jeremy hates to be perceived.
Alex?
Why don't you just go into the horse's hoof print?
That's a great bar for you.
Do you have a favorite bar?
Yes, I do.
You actually do.
I know you do.
There's a place where they have Negronis in a nozzle that you always talk about.
I do like the yummy Negroni in a nozzle, but that's kind of fancy for a bar.
I'm not going to say that one because I'll get clowned on.
I think of a really cool one like the Shit Station or something.
You ever go to the Shit Station in Bushwick?
They got a whole jug of the stuff that you can gulp down.
Do you have a favorite bar, Claire?
Uh, you know, I just, uh, I went to a bar recently that I really like called or bar
or bar and, uh, by the Graham stop.
Is it a theme?
The theme is like boats and oars.
No, it's just ORE classic bar.
Oh, like a dwarfs, like mining bar and iron or yeah.
That's really cool.
What did you like about it?
Oh, their music's good.
They're playing, they're always playing weird criterion, uh, movies.
Oh yeah.
There's actually one I've been going to a lot at the, near the top of prospect park
that I can't remember
the name of right now,
but we went there once.
What was it called?
Me and You?
Yeah.
I don't know it.
Oh, by Nighthawk or whatever?
No, the other way.
Double Windsor.
I do like Double Windsor as well.
Good.
I thought of one bar.
I thought of one bar.
Check out bars.
Check out drinking.
Check out poison of all kinds.
And stay cool out there, folks,
because it's hot as hell.
Jump in the hole.
Jump in the hole.
That's been Quarators
for another week.
Ryan, thank you so much
for coming on.
Thank you for having me.
Where can our listeners
find you and your many works
at home and abroad?
You can find me
on Instagram,
TikTok.
I do a open mic
at Alligator Lounge
on Wednesdays.
Hey, that's a fun
watering hole.
Yeah, that is a fun
watering hole, yeah.
You get a free pizza
when you're at beer.
Yeah, that's true.
And not to be confused
with Alligator Alcatraz.
Yes.
No.
He is not a guard
at Alligator Alcatraz.
I hope the Alligator
Alcatraz open mic
is very grim.
There's way too many comedians.
A lot of comedy open mics, they don't have an audience.
So it's nice to at least do one where there's people there.
Usually one or two of them will laugh.
I don't know why we even suggested that we're just having guards
at Alligator Alcatraz in here the week after it opens.
The karaoke's pretty fun, though.
It's a great time.
