Starting point is 00:00:00 All right, well, this is fun. The air conditioner is off, so the show simply must begin. Josh, do you have any questions before we start? I don't. Good! Please dance! Dance! what you're hearing on that dial is the smooth sound of quarators back again america's favorite quora based podcast with your host alex and jeremy i'm alex i'm jeremy that's jeremy right
Starting point is 00:00:36 there and this is season four jeremy's house yeah that's why i throw out your coffee because It's at my house, and I make the rules. Jeremy makes the rules, and if you are late, he will throw your coffee in the trash. By accident. When there's kind of a bunch in there, but we're not stuck on that today. There's so much more to explore with our exciting guest
Starting point is 00:00:56 all the way from, you may know him as a writer for the Deezus and Miro program, Josh Gondelman. Josh? Hello, thank you for having me. It's a thrill to have you here. What an incredible sequence of events to watch the coffee thing unfold before the recording. I felt so bad.
Starting point is 00:01:12 It's important to get a victory ad. The thing about Jeremy is he quietly rules with an iron fist. That's why they call him Quiet Iron. That's right. That's why it's on his jersey. As a host, I always feel like it's better to be feared than loved. That's right. You're an enlightened tyrant like Catherine the Great.
Starting point is 00:01:30 Yeah. Now, Josh, do you know about Quora? Yeah. That's going to save us so much time. Okay. Perfect. I'm mostly here to be efficient. We just saved 20 minutes.
Starting point is 00:01:44 So we are going to get right into reading Quoras and exploring them, and in so exploring our very minds. But before we get into that, we do have a weekly recurring segment we've been using as a cynical ploy to attract new listeners, and that is, of course, our advice segment. And this week we are doing Tips for Men. i found it we're labeling the soundboard after this josh what do you have to tell men out there oh gosh this is a good surprise i know
Starting point is 00:02:19 we gotcha you can got you have to have advice for men on this show we don't tell you um oh i feel like this is one this is a big one wash your sheets and towels yeah you gotta wash them you gotta do it and i feel like it is not to be like a gender essentialist but i do think men wash their sheets and towels less frequently than women and probably non-binary people which is another one of our tip segments what's that tips for non-binary people it's true i'll play the song for you that's godzilla again the label's coming so soon if you're non-binary you're doing fine already with the towels don't worry about that you seem okay about sheets in regards to men who really gotta transform that stinky burrito
Starting point is 00:03:20 Now, I washed my sheets yesterday, so I'm actually the one good one. So you're saying not all men don't wash their sheets. Hashtag not all men. Hashtag not all men. If they live with women, women will make them wash their sheets. That's true. Do you hear like a vacuum cleaner? What the fuck is that?
Starting point is 00:03:39 I'll close my window. Oh, yeah, yeah. I tried to make it. The thing about Jeremy's- You're meeting the sidewalk? This is our second episode at Jeremy's house where Jeremy makes the rules. Jeremy's house, Jeremy's rules. We've been going back and forth on whether it's okay to leave the AC on, and instead, it's kind of become a sweat challenge.
Starting point is 00:03:58 I do feel like it'll have a hallucinogenic quality by the end of the episode. Yeah, we're currently on minute four, so let's check back on that, because I show it, folks. I tried to leave the window open, and then somebody started doing intense lawn care outside, I think. The lawn care sounds in this neighborhood are so intense for a neighborhood with zero lawns. It's like you hear a mower and a weed whacker. What are you doing? Are you dismembering a body? What are these power tools about?
Starting point is 00:04:30 By the way, this is your first clue to finding Jeremy's house. Yes. Pay attention. Figure it out. Every episode will have one hint. You can find him, and you can come over. You can be the guest on the next episode if you find Jeremy's house. The prize is we get to just hang out.
Starting point is 00:04:46 We know we're always seeing Mike Birbiglia around. Put that in your journal. He lives around here. Oh, man. But yes, again, reminder, this is a visual podcast. So if you've been listening every week, you can see me sweat on YouTube.com slash at Quaradors. That's true. Good.
Starting point is 00:05:06 Advice. Check. What's next? Announce the theme. The theme this week is crossing boundaries. Oh. Oh, baby. Okay.
Starting point is 00:05:16 Thanks, Wario. That was Wario that said, oh, baby? Yeah, we had him on. he was very rude he's a close friend to bud he kept slamming us with his shoulder look i i kind of fell off with this stuff a few years ago but i've heard that his new special is really good when he was putting down his shoulder and just going through brick walls all the time that really resonated with me yeah but honestly it didn't age well i think like maybe you shouldn't just be barreling through brick walls all the time that's a home
Starting point is 00:05:49 Yeah, somebody lives there. That's a boundary for a reason, Wario. That's right, Wario. And then Wario immediately just becomes like, oh, I'm into eating weird stuff and playing minigames on the Nintendo DS. What are you doing? He's doing those videos.
Starting point is 00:06:05 Wario eats one million hot Cheetos. You're just doing anything to keep that follower count up. I give this five, oh, babies. Oh, baby. You know this guy used to try to kill Mario. still think he's funny yeah that's people don't remember no wario used to try to kill mario they just know he's abstractly evil but he was tangibly very evil mario wasn't not trying to kill him no i guess if we were to look at both sides of the story you gotta see both sides and mario as a uh
Starting point is 00:06:42 as a i don't know video game figure is like he throws fireballs he's like pretty imposing i could see if you didn't know his whole thing maybe being afraid of him do you think part of what made what why we love mario and fear wario is that wario has war in his name which is bad sure and then mario has ma right at the beginning of his name which is an italian people famously love their mothers so it reminds you of home yeah yes i think that is what it is i think so that's the only reason the only reason there's nothing to add because you've nailed it thank you um now this is jeremy's house but jeremy makes the rules but um it's time to go back to our question we asked at the end of last week we begin and end every week by asking question
Starting point is 00:07:25 to quora to engage the community uh what was our question last week jeremy so we had claire o'kane on and claire asked what does snorlax feel like when you swallow him okay i don't quite know what that means and we're gonna go ahead and put that one fully on claire so no one here can be judged for the snorlax question so i know what snorlax is yeah like it's a pokemon he's a big guy you play a flute and he moves you what you play a flute and he moves i think that's true of a lot of people and things hey if you got the heat yeah yeah that's right right if you're really giving it you're all of the flute you know how to blow that come on it does wake him up but if you play a flute loud enough most pokemon will wake up most pokemon cats dogs yeah my dog would wake
Starting point is 00:08:12 up if you play a flute near she would not be happy there's something about this episode already where we've gone so far into gamer lore and i think that's just the effect of being at jeremy's house when that's right where jeremy makes the rules um when i when i really got deep on wario i didn't realize we were immediately pivoting to snorlax so i apologize for that yeah i couldn't have known yeah we have a sponsorship with nintendo switch and that's why we're asking what it snorlax feels like when you swallow him now are we assuming this is non-sexual i guess just to clear up the question i thought it was non-sexual but maybe when you read it out loud how else are you gonna fit a snorlax in you
Starting point is 00:08:53 you thought it was like swallow his load yeah yeah is that what it was i mean to be crass how long are we in 10 minutes so we're not gonna be demonetized the youtube algorithm no longer knows what we're doing so yeah i'm talking about taking a hot pint of his cum right in the mouth well i'm sure there's a lot of great drawings that we could if we wanted to learn more about that actually that would tread on the podcast of or excuse me the premise of my podcast uh deviant art critic review all the art on deviant art yeah every week there's just not a lot of premises left i know that's what that's what you have to do now take what you can get every week we're afraid quora quora will for some reason be shut down by the
Starting point is 00:09:36 government it will have nothing to talk about the ceo got sued one week we were just like we might just be done yeah this could be it we commissioned all that art um i think okay i would like to hear some feedback there's one answer on here from ian jackson whose icon is the punisher and he says what even is this question snorlax is a character in media and it's not possible to know something that gross it is possible so you nailed it i disagree jackson i don't think the grossness has anything to do with the unknowability i agree with you those are two separate parts of this premise this is a man who avoids knowing uncomfortable things um well maybe he doesn't realize because he studied banking at erie community college and now he's a manager
Starting point is 00:10:26 at pnc bank this is all stuff publicly available we are not crossing any boundaries yet although it is the theme of the week i bet this dude the bank a dude who works at a bank and has the punisher as his local emporia i've never i can't imagine anyone taking more delight in denying loans to people every single time someone like writes a note and slips it to him he's like please be a killer yeah oh yeah just like a vigilante bank manager let me tell you you won't find that outside of cory pennsylvania 2004 to present that might be too small of a town i'm looking up the population of cory pennsylvania which is again leaving it's actually just one guy yeah you can find him if you go to the bank in this town you can find him
Starting point is 00:11:16 Oh, leave this guy alone. Weep some of that. Well, all right. I'll give you more of my address so that you instead want to find me. Listen, for another clue. He really didn't say anything bad. I feel fine about it. No, he's fine.
Starting point is 00:11:33 He's a great man and a close friend. He asked a question on Monday. He said, a fly flew into my mouth and now I feel sick. What should I do? You got to wait that one out, Ian. That happened to the best of us. What is a fly if not, like, a tiny Snorlax? Agreed.
Starting point is 00:11:47 It goes, but I bet if it had, like, a bigger physical instrument, it would sound like snoring. Yep, there it is. A perfect scientific recreation of a really big fly. A big enough animal eating Snorlax would be like you consuming a fly. Yep. To put it that way. And I've had a fly fly in my mouth while I was running at the park, and it was deeply unpleasant. So that's probably what it's like.
Starting point is 00:12:11 It's no fun, for sure. And you feel bad for, like, hours. You feel like you're like, is it still, like, flying in there? But it's not. No way is it even located in your throat anymore. But you're just like, I feel so violated. You feel like the fly was there. You're pointing to your throat like, I know where it was.
Starting point is 00:12:28 Yeah. Yeah. Just don't let that into your larynx. That's my tip for flies going in your mouth. Tips for flies. Tips for them. You got me there. I think this one holds across gender lines.
Starting point is 00:12:43 Don't let a fly go into your larynx. Ladies, if a fly wants to go into your larynx, make sure it buys you dinner first. I don't want to speak for women already consuming flies. That's fair. That may be pushing boundaries. You're going to sit and listen and reflect. It's time I learn.
Starting point is 00:13:05 What are we going to start with this week? Let's do our segment Quartz. which is our sports segment now we used to own um a very popular song that youtube found out somebody else wrote uh for our sports segment but what sound do we do now um do the tiger yeah okay it's sports i feel bad because i feel like i i think this question i saw someone post on twitter and i took it but i don't remember who it was but it was um the perfect crime this was a this is on quora it's a quora screen scrap but it was uh why don't hockey teams use sumo wrestlers or big fat
Starting point is 00:13:53 guys as goalies this may be crossing a boundary jeremy and that you're involving men from other sports okay oh and the the puck has to cross the boundary into the net that's right i agree with that i think it's a good idea to just use a real like as large a person as you can find assume a wrestler yeah and put them in front of the goal now i hate to be a hockey expert but the thing about this puck is it is for lions you really want to try to trap it with um your mitts or some kind of judo kick on your big, wide shin guards you got there instead of taking it directly to your body because it's going to hurt quite a bit.
Starting point is 00:14:41 Now, the one from the Mighty Ducks was quite large. The Mighty Ducks? The Mighty Ducks, the hockey team? I've never seen the movie. I've only seen the cartoon, which was about literal ducks who were like astronauts. Let me just get in front of you there. As like superheroes.
Starting point is 00:14:56 In the movie, it's a boy. I know that. And not a boy duck either. I know that was your next question, human boy. I grew up watching the Duck TV show, and I was shocked to discover eventually that it's about humans. It's, I mean, far worse from, like, a child's perspective. I'm going to find the theme song to the Mighty Ducks cartoon. I've also seen this cartoon.
Starting point is 00:15:16 Josh, have you seen the Mighty Ducks cartoon? I don't remember. It doesn't ring a bell. It was probably slightly after your time. I probably caught the tail end of it. I am 30. Jeremy's the youngest person I know. What is this an ad for?
Starting point is 00:15:29 jeremy you're 11 right yeah that's exactly right jeremy's house jeremy's rules candy for breakfast no one knows i live here don't tell my parents okay this is the mighty ducks theme is it going to be fun i don't know can we legally play it all right we're good on that this doesn't sound that much different from like regular songs of the late 80s and early 90s. If Bon Jovi wrote a song about ducks
Starting point is 00:16:05 that play hockey, I'd be like, yeah, I guess they were having some wild times back then. Who's to say? Did they get Foreigner to do this? They might be Giants did the Daily Show. Really? I think so. You wouldn't make something like that up, would you? Bob Mould did the Daily Show.
Starting point is 00:16:21 They might be Giants. They did Malcolm in the Middle. You're thinking of Bob Mould. Did they not? Good try. I think the Daily Show song was Bob Mould, and then when Trevor Noah took over, Timbaland did a version of it.
Starting point is 00:16:38 But I think they might be giants in the Malcolm in the Middle theme song. I will let the YouTube commenter decide. You make the rules. That's a good way to live. Jeremy's house, YouTube's rules. I fully believe you, but people can yell at me online about it.
Starting point is 00:16:54 Maybe they might be giants in an earlier one. I have no idea. What a quack attack. Their tickets, I can say this safely, won't sell out because this won't air right now, but their tickets for their show in December in New York just went on sale. And I'm like, I'm going to do that pre-sale. Hell yeah. I mean, this comes out Monday.
Starting point is 00:17:12 You may get some competition. I'm going to buy them today. Okay. And other people. I don't want no one else to go. I just want to make sure I get tickets. Just Josh and the Giants. Yes.
Starting point is 00:17:23 J and the G. Yeah. They're one of the six bands that I see every time Now if we could focus For five seconds in our entire lives Why aren't there sumos in Hockey nets and do we just want to Read the answers? Let's read some answers
Starting point is 00:17:38 John Nagel who's an emergency physician says I presume your thought is that if you just Found someone big enough all they would have to do Is sit in the net and there would be no room for the puck To go around them. Let me stop you that is what They were thinking. I don't think You need to recap that Commenter like I don't know
Starting point is 00:17:54 what else they would be thinking. Because you think they're going to eat the puck? Right. They won't. You idiot. It's not a hamburger. It's not calorie dense enough for sumo. They do not have a tongue like a frog.
Starting point is 00:18:10 They cannot whip it up. The other thing too is these nets are quite small. Yeah. I just wanted to get that out there so everyone fully understands what's going on. Right. It's definitely, I mean, you see it when you watch. It's shorter than a person, certainly.
Starting point is 00:18:22 Yeah. Wider than a person. But not by that much that if you got a very large athlete that they couldn't take up most of the space. But yeah, you're really leaving, as Alex said, leaving yourself open to a lot of pain. You're going to get blasted. You are going to get blasted. If you could find a rectangular-shaped man, it would be perfect. I wonder if it's against the rules.
Starting point is 00:18:40 That sounds like a They Might Be Giants song. Their big song, Rectangular Man. They did one about a triangle, man. Yeah, there you go. Hey, now we're learning. Please tell me more of John Nagel's response. Oh, yes. He says, as Peter Guy explained, though,
Starting point is 00:18:59 nobody is so big and proportional to the net to completely block the puck from getting into the net. At the very least, their skates keep them two inches off the ice. When the puck is only an inch tall, that's a gap plenty large enough for today's NHL sharpshooters. What you want in goalie is an acrobat. Acrobat is bolded. And italics.
Starting point is 00:19:17 Is the guy he references another commenter or just a famous hockey theorist that I've never heard of? As Peter Guy once explained. Oh, Peter Guy. He went all those Pulitzers writing about hockey for the Washington Post. He wrote so many articles about sumo wrestling in relation to hockey. What you want is an acrobat. His famous article, they cannot sit.
Starting point is 00:19:38 It's not allowed. I don't care how big you are. They cannot sit. That's the name of his book about why sumo wrestling shouldn't play hockey. You're going to get killed by that book. Please. Yeah, that's it. I mean, I know he talks about these guys look big because of all their
Starting point is 00:19:57 gear, but today's NHL goalies tend to be slender and flexible. Slender goalies. They have to be able to move and quickly. They went the other way with it. Check out best saves in NHL history. And then he's got a YouTube link to get a sense of how agile. That's a good way to kill 50 minutes. Yeah, I would click on that.
Starting point is 00:20:14 I mean, I bet visually stunning stuff. The rest of the episode is just us silently watching. Just like occasionally like, whoa. Oh, sick. I'm using the soundboard for the shots. Killing spree. This guy's on the ground. Look at this little troublemaker.
Starting point is 00:20:30 A hockey net is six feet wide. You have to find the waist of somebody. Six times pi equals 18.9 feet. I don't think that's true. It is true, Jeremy. All right. Grow up. 3.1.
Starting point is 00:20:45 I still kind of think they could sit down, but I guess not. Yeah. Yeah, you'd cover most of it, but I think the implication is that the professional players are too good at hockey to, like, leave anything open. I think this is a big conspiracy, and all the hockey players know it would just ruin the game. So everyone just has agreed to be, like, just saying you can't do it. You can't say you can't do it. Also, I bet if you did it, nothing against a sumo wrestler or their body type, but I bet hockey players would be so pissed and just whale shots right at them. Yes.
Starting point is 00:21:13 Yeah. No, it would be no way to live for the goalie. You would need someone who's, like, in jail. It would be like someone who's serving time, and that's why they'll take the pucks. Oh, they're just like, we'll commute your sentence. That does sound like something the American prison system would do. A private prison for sure. If you're in thrall to the team, sure, get a 800-pound man in there.
Starting point is 00:21:38 Somebody says it's because of the pads that they would be too expensive. That can't be it. That's ridiculous. That's one of the worst. What a jump in logic. they can't afford the 10 million dollar pads the nhl huge fat guy nhl needs the money that's why they're selling all those stanley cups to people honestly they're too broke you can't do it okay um that's too expensive because really like even the biggest
Starting point is 00:22:08 like even if you got a 450 pound man let's say that's like a pretty big guy that's still only as many as big pads as you need for 350 pound guys and every hockey team has three guys yeah i don't there's a lot of holes in it um there is another answer here real quick i'll say before we leave this is from daniel crockett who says to the best of my knowledge there's no reason why they cannot say there you go i feel the same way what i love these i love these some of these responses because i it's so funny to think that and say that yes like clearly he's not that's not the question being asked like that's not the answer no well the format of the website is like just question with no follow-up and every week we find someone who just comments interesting i don't
Starting point is 00:22:58 know and it's like yeah that's why we asked but i do imagine like there are people that are using this just like as stimulating conversation like people like reply guys that are like oh i'm just talking to my friend quora yeah and because otherwise there's no reason to be like to to answer someone's query where it's not like a friend idly ruminating it's like someone's seeking an answer you're like wow that's a great question yeah man that's why i asked you're on fire right now i feel like we can't make fun of it too much as that is the premise of our show No, I like the premise of the website, but it's like those kind of answers that are, like, more conversational are so funny to me. Because you're like, oh, that's just somebody that's, like, trying to get a little conversation and a little stimulation.
Starting point is 00:23:46 Yeah. He's talking. He's an EMT. It's a thrill. Maybe he's, you know, he's in an ambulance. Yeah. Got nothing to do. He's on his phone.
Starting point is 00:23:52 Waiting around late at night. Friends or family are all asleep. Totally. He's on Quora. Yeah. Maybe everyone he loves has died. Maybe. That's why he's an EMT.
Starting point is 00:24:01 he's like if batman actually like wanted to help yeah i'm just batman and i'm here to help yeah man you should just be an emt it's such a funny suggestion for like they're still like super villains like the killer croc is loose but he's just like in the van he collapses a building like batman skills don't help no he's still doing the voice though yeah so he's like in the in the ambulance he's like are you all right one two three clear um let's move on and this is a perfect transition actually to our upcoming medical segment this is quora md won't you come down the halls of medical knowledge tonight this is a crazy question alex now josh you're a doctor I we yes I am a lot like a doctor uh we were wondering which category to put this in but I
Starting point is 00:24:57 think I think this is a medical question perfect I'm your guy and this is something you talk about in your act a lot so um is it autistic to be obsessed with black penises wow that is not something I talked about yeah two mics because I have double the insight I I have no answer to that i don't know if i were on court right now i would reply i don't know good and then i might be like weird question i don't think it's on the diagnostic for autism sure yeah i don't think if you take the test if you score high enough on this test of course they just they just show you something they're like are you obsessed with this this guy you love this this guy has asked 15 000 questions on quora
Starting point is 00:25:50 power user that's impressive it is impressive we have a lot we can learn from this highly knowledgeable young man well or i mean maybe he reads the answers maybe he just doesn't know anything one of his questions from a few a few days ago is can man's mickelson run for president of the united states so there these are far-reaching questions yeah this is anything that comes to mind yeah no he's he's got questions and quora does not have answers it almost is like he's using quora as a scratch pad for things to google later when you have more time to change tabs yeah yeah the irony of that is that google keeps using quora answers to like fill in so he's gonna find his own shit on there he's gonna be it's a damn it it's gonna be a quoraboris yeah
Starting point is 00:26:37 yeah exactly it will be a quoraboris um a fun thing about this too is i have noticed with actual doctors if you ask them a question outside of their field they just go i can't answer that and that does how i that's how i feel about this artistic for black penises question as i just haven't put in put in the schooling um and then there's only one answer here that is someone sarcastically being like yes it is it's in the dsm who has an associate's degree in nursing he says So that is actually pretty relevant. Sure, yeah. And that's the one answer.
Starting point is 00:27:06 Okay. So we'll never know. We know it's not on the tab. I've had a lot of conversations with Anders Lee, who is an autism expert, according to himself. And he's never once brought up black penises or being obsessed with them. So I think that would have come up at least once. It's been years of discussion. You could hyper-focus on different things, though.
Starting point is 00:27:27 Yes. Okay. So I guess the loophole would be if hyperfixation is a symptom of some form of the autism spectrum, if you were just like all like if you knew as much about black penises specifically as if they were trains, then you could say yes. I feel so bad for my neighbors who are like working right now. They're getting a free podcast. They could get a free podcast any time. It's no money down. No one's paying for this.
Starting point is 00:27:55 The AC is off. Systems check. i'm a little wet just a little wet so far me too i'm sweating i could open the window back maybe they're done landscaping this question's got me wet do not open the window again this we're gonna have the same problem and then you don't say this question is gonna be wet again as long as we're giving each other guidelines i'll shake on it these are my rules shake on it oh yeah jeremy it's your house your rules so you can tell alex whether or not to say he's wet Uh-huh, honey.
Starting point is 00:28:23 Thanks for writing in. All right, let's move on to another question because there's no more answers on that. But I think the answer is yes, we all agree. Yes, but also the jury is out. Okay, here's another question. Why didn't my wang fall off when I turned 40? Now, I have not turned 40 yet. I'm pretty close.
Starting point is 00:28:41 Uh-huh. How's your wang feel? As attached to the rest of my body as ever. System's green. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It is green. Okay, I'm writing that down. I'm pretty close to journeying 40, and it does feel, I don't think any parts of my body feel close to falling off.
Starting point is 00:29:03 That's good. My knee was a little, like, I did a lot of walking yesterday, so I was like, oh, maybe I'm a little sore because I'm not a, you know, haven't been moving around a lot. But I don't think I'm in danger. My knee's falling off. My pain is falling off. Yeah, I think I'm pretty, I'm going to stay contiguous. I'm not, none of my body parts are going to go Hawaii or Alaska. Okay, good to know.
Starting point is 00:29:21 I think this is written by someone who is just complaining, as in, why didn't my penis fall off? Oh, why? You think he wants it to? I wish it would drop to the floor. 40 years of this shit. I'm always tripping over it. It's very funny.
Starting point is 00:29:40 I shouldn't dox everyone on this show, but I do like how much information I have about these people who ask these questions. That seems like a flaw in this website. It really does. Oh, does it? It's actually my favorite part of the whole thing, so I agree to disagree. Okay, that's fine.
Starting point is 00:29:55 Yeah, I understand what's enjoyable about it. And as a consumer, I'm, like, fascinated. It's, like, a very intimate level of Facebook, you know what I mean? It's like, oh, yeah, you want to know me? Here's where I live. Yeah, it's nice. Here's my phone number. Don't you wish, like, next time someone, like, was in your replies on Twitter, like, not getting the joke you're making,
Starting point is 00:30:14 if it wasn't just, like, Ray from Evangelion as their picture, if you could see where they live and their full name and what they do for a living. Yeah, you could come over. And just be like, hey, I came to your house to explain this joke to you. Your parents never taught you how to know what a joke is.
Starting point is 00:30:34 There's one answer here from William Ware who says, I'm guessing it's too small to be affected by gravity. Come on now. Does he deserve that? Upvote for you. Don't upvote that. We don't need that negativity in our hospital. And then Steven Guppy says, what a strange question to ask. He's right.
Starting point is 00:30:53 Bilal Ahmed says it gets more active. Wait, what? Yeah. It's under the questions that the answers that need improvement, but it's there. Oh, I do see it. And then he did a winky face with the tongue out. So, you know, he's a freak with it. He's an editor.
Starting point is 00:31:08 Flawless victory. Bilal gotcha. Those are the answers we have. Sorry, Brian. It's weird that there can be answers that need improvement. I would diagnose this as a question that needs improvement. Yeah, I don't know. The Quora AI will hide a bunch of answers sometimes and say that they need improvement,
Starting point is 00:31:26 which I think is really rude. It is rude. If Quora thinks the question is bad, what they do is they send you answers to different questions. Yes. Which is very confusing for everyone involved. That's really confusing. Yeah, it's a really bad website. And it's one of the last we have.
Starting point is 00:31:42 I know. where it's everything's an app now yeah it's it's kind of like the panda bear and then it's like it can't uh survive outside of our podcast supporting him yeah that's right it's mostly podcasters people that's why people add us every week to be like why why are you allowing pedophiles on your website quaraders yeah like i don't know does that really happen all the time people think that you're like in charge of quora they think we're the ceo of quora that's so funny and it's some other guy named adam different guy not us and again we need him to not go to jail financially so that we still have a podcast i this is tough for me because i don't know what he did
Starting point is 00:32:24 and i'm not a big believer in the in our car serial system to begin with but i can't say i hope he goes unbonished if he's committed heinous crimes i don't know what he did either what did he do he's gotta get up it was like finance stuff i think yeah it wasn't um oh he's an ai guy he was like doing bitcoin crime i think that should be the most jail i know that and that's the hardest part for me because he can just stay at my house i'll keep him around i think it's fine if he goes to jail as long as you're gonna you're gonna give him like the julian assange embassy treatment We're just in a private home. My own little Ecuador.
Starting point is 00:33:02 I'll return you to your wife 12 years later. He can go to jail as long as he gives us the website. Oh, yeah. Give me the keys, Mac. Yeah. Come on now. You know what you did. And then we can run.
Starting point is 00:33:14 And then they'd be right, Tag. Question us about the pedophiles. We'd be like, they're funny. So what? You would have to do something about pedophiles. Yeah, we would. Immediately, it would be a rule for us. Oh, they're so bad.
Starting point is 00:33:28 I'd have to go to all the pedophiles and be like, it's Jeremy's house now. Don't come here, even though you know two facts about it. Loud yard work, proximity to Mike for Bigley. Yeah, that's right. Mike, if you're listening, we're on to you. I do feel like complaining about the pedophiles on Quora is like being like, why are there so many wet people at this pool? what what are the this is maybe a question that i shouldn't be asking but what are the pedophiles doing on quora well they have a lot of questions are they like is it like are they like does this
Starting point is 00:34:04 make me a pedophile is this immoral or are they like where do you find kids well not even that it's more like erotica prompts oh i don't like that it's actually so that's really bad i think about this a lot because obviously it's bad to be a pedophile but for sure and i have am resolute on this you will not change mine i live my life a quarter mile at a time that's not what i thought sounds like jeremy's kind of down with it but i'm against the whole thing and i want to say that uh it's as a form of perversion it seems like they uh you know you have like a sickness if you have it and so maybe like fictional erotica is like the safest release valve for you just devil's advocating here um i refuse to continue having this conversation i'm sorry that i started
Starting point is 00:34:50 it yeah i'm the ceo of quorum adam they stay with you alex i they're my best friends all right we're done with the the wang question i do love first of all just love hearing the word wang how long has it been classic that's wang i feel like it's yeah it's been a minute since that anyone's broken out schlong in a meaningful way sure all those like the things that the penis euphemisms that i grew up with i feel like they've gone by the wayside i'm so mad about that that's my new that's my old guy thing i'm gonna do a stand-up special like it's all dick and cock now people used to say dingus what happened to ding-a-ling uh an american classic uh okay so this is a this is a well it's a safer area this is actually kind of a segue into what
Starting point is 00:35:46 alex was talking about which is like pervert doing prompts on quora because this question is have you ever pooped yourself on purpose now personally i have not i just feel like there's a decent i don't know 30 chance that this is a pervert being oh that's why the question was asked you're right about that that makes sense that's why the question was asked but i think there are some actually utilitarian uses one could have. Let's say you need
Starting point is 00:36:12 to get out of jury duty. Right. Or, um... You're running a marathon. Yeah. There's so many social situations that you could just leave
Starting point is 00:36:18 if you pooped yourself. Here's... Okay, not to be a contrarian because I do think you're right. I do also think you could leave almost all those
Starting point is 00:36:26 social situations if you just said you pooped yourself. Very few people are going to be like, let me check. What if they check? That's what I was about to say.
Starting point is 00:36:34 What if they check? It's like you're checking a baby's diaper read my lips i pooped myself uh when i ran track and cross country as a kid i had teammates who shit their pants in races which i thought it was because they left it all on the track is yeah well it's like some if you're doing like the 800 on in a track race you don't need to poop yourself right that's not that many laps how a couple of minutes yeah that's like if you poop yourself That's a pretty quick, pretty slow 800 actually, right?
Starting point is 00:37:10 Or no, I don't remember. Who cares? Are you going to like, isn't that what happens like before you die? I was going to say quick to say that'd be, or whatever. Who cares? It is not a long time to hold in poop. And it's, you know, it's coming. You could have pooped before in most cases.
Starting point is 00:37:26 If you're so fast, run to the school and back. That's right. Yeah. Okay. The flash. And who would be better on a track team? Huh? Nobody.
Starting point is 00:37:35 he's a flash yeah that's right um but yeah outside of like an emergency sitcom style scenario where you need to leave i don't think you should otherwise you're gonna well it's gonna be gross and you're probably disease should you the question have you have which i didn't know so it makes sense that this might would be a pervert because i again as someone who has like limited experience with quora as opposed to your unlimited experience i didn't know how many of them were just like um just like asking for anecdotes yeah 60 okay there's a good chunk of people who just keep being like what would happen if my stepsister kissed me you know yeah like come on yeah that's you could google that i i don't know what would happen there's a lot of movies about it um but
Starting point is 00:38:19 you do get a lot of anecdote experience just from people who have time on their phones so the poop question i would like to see if we have somebody like as an active duty police sergeant i have to run into several situations that I was forced to release. I'm going through these and a lot of these answers are disgusting. So I don't know. Are there any that are okay?
Starting point is 00:38:43 This Paul Pointer says so many times. Probably the first time was the best. And then he goes on to say he's just been chasing that poop dragon. You never reached that high again. it's like crack it's like the the neurons in your brain can't fire off it's pooped that good you never forget your first time pooping your pants on purpose uh he explains that he he realized he had to poop in his pants i'm not going to read that exactly what he says what he says
Starting point is 00:39:13 so i thought did it really matter did i care answer to both definitely no i don't know what kind of life that you're living i can see did it did i care no did it matter usually there's so few situations that i'd be in where like pooping my pants has no impact on the rest of my day uh well long story short the guy says at the end he's like it felt so good that he was like i'm gonna do this again that's awesome that's great you'll never be depressed if you feel this way after a poop like that i feel like that is a symptom of depression it's a rush like what's the highlight of my day poop in my pants i think if it's between that and like black tar heroin or something it's the same option sure um one guy says i was about oh no
Starting point is 00:40:06 never mind i thought i said i was about six years old since i was about six years ago so never mind every one of these is just stories I would like to hear more do you want me to read it yeah do you want me to read it
Starting point is 00:40:16 it was about six years ago when I was walking home from the store I was already in the neighborhood about five minutes away from my house when I felt the need to poop I have pooped my pants
Starting point is 00:40:23 in the past on accident on accident I was always curious what it would feel like to just poop my pants on purpose so I looked around to see if there was
Starting point is 00:40:29 any other people around that would see me do it but there was just one person walking behind me I figured that he wouldn't see because it didn't feel like there was that much so I just let go
Starting point is 00:40:37 what are we looking around for if you're like so i looked around to see if anyone who noticed there was someone i was like fine he was directly behind me where the poop goes uh it was way more than expected probably the biggest shit i've ever taken was pushed oh that's wrong he just isn't used to seeing poop out of context he's wearing boxers too that's wild this is not a real story we haven't reached the end yet it was the biggest shit i've ever taken it was pushed into my boxers oh wait no as we get farther down it does get a little more um erotic because i got an instant erection okay all right well it's a lot longer but then it keeps going in a way that we don't need to read it sounds like the perfect crime it is this so this
Starting point is 00:41:26 is for people that are into this sexually it must be and i will say i i you know can't speak to pedophilia i do think writing about pooping your pants is safer than pooping your pants it's a safe release but don't you worry it'll encourage them to try it it's the culture of it josh it's the culture of it um yeah i mean no disrespect to these people look like i shouldn't be reading these right like in theory like this is a guy who it's harmless being like you're the one on poop forums dot com by finding their
Starting point is 00:42:00 thing and being like you're weird yeah exactly like the person who asked it they get off on it the people answering they get off on it why am I it's a perfect closed loop exactly unlike those butts yeah those are opening up we're all thinking the same thing so yeah there you go I love the push
Starting point is 00:42:16 and warmth would you believe that one of these people is named pup girl wolf I'd believe it I wouldn't believe one of them isn't named that. Okay. Let's never speak of this again. I'm glad I deleted the second poop question. Could you imagine if that was...
Starting point is 00:42:34 I got a good segue here. You're saying you deleted number two. Yeah, well, he checked around first to see if anyone was looking, and there it was. So he was like, let's go. We'll still do it. Okay, let's go to our animal questions. Okay, here we go.
Starting point is 00:42:51 Tell me if this sounds familiar. Oh, is it an animal sports segment? It's about animals playing sports. This is about Air Bud. This is Corrigan Wild. Okay, this question is, Bigfoot arrives at your door and confesses he's sad of constantly hiding. You have 24 hours to make him have the best day of his life
Starting point is 00:43:11 before he is gunned down by the government. What do you do? This is a great question. It is great. Are a lot of these answers sexual? Yes, all of these are. The first time was the best for me. I looked around to make sure no one was Bigfoot.
Starting point is 00:43:33 This is a classic Bigfoot fetish community. I really love the dynamic of somebody. There's a ring at your door. You answer it. It's Bigfoot. He goes, I have something to confess. I've been listening to Quarriors, and I figured out where you live. Bigfoot, this question was written by Mike Bromiglia.
Starting point is 00:43:55 Yes. They're going to kill me. And what I should have said was nothing. Just close the door. Ba-boom. 24 hours with Bigfoot. Talk about heaven. Gosh, I wonder.
Starting point is 00:44:14 Okay, so you want to give Bigfoot experiences that Bigfoot couldn't have just in the wild while hiding. So, I think you'd start off by, like, shaving them a reasonable amount so they could pass as human and do a bunch of, like, human stuff. Yeah, just shave everywhere except, like, the beard area. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, just, you could keep, like, body hair if they're going to be dressed. Oh, sure. Yeah, if you put, my only thing is I don't want to make Bigfoot uncomfortable by overdressing him. Sure.
Starting point is 00:44:42 And with someone that big, just the cost of that much clothing would be, you couldn't afford it. It would be like hockey pads for a super wrestler. It's pretty much exactly the same as hockey pads for a similar wrestler. But just in terms of, you only have 24 hours, so you better just do hands, feet, part of the head, and go. Or that's going to be the whole time is just body shaving. Yeah, yeah. I think you quick clean it up.
Starting point is 00:45:06 Two hours, hands and feet and face. Would this not be the best 80s movie ever? Yes. It would make Harry and the Hendersons look like a piece of shit. Just taking Bigfoot around Chicago for a day. Let's see Encino Man field that. Oh, gosh. This is a great question, though.
Starting point is 00:45:27 I think it's great. We're two hours down. We shaved Bigfoot. Now where are we taking him? I don't know. I feel like Bigfoot would love to watch a big sporting event. Yeah. And have a nice hot dog and stuff.
Starting point is 00:45:39 Yeah. He's at a football game, but he keeps being like, I could do that better. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Bigfoot. Yeah. I don't want to just take him to the Mall of America. No. Sure, that's pretty sad.
Starting point is 00:45:48 Although there is a theme park in there. You're just taking him to a very sad museum. You're just like, this is what we do. I want to take you to the Holocaust Museum, Bigfoot, as a warning. I know you've never heard of 9-11, so you couldn't have forgotten it, so I'm going to teach you about it for the first time. He's probably heard of it. No way.
Starting point is 00:46:06 I bet Bigfoot's never heard about 9-11. I think he just felt it deep in his soul that it was a sad day for America. Yeah, all the black dust went into the woods. He said, what is this? um let me answer your questions bigfoot there is a gift shop um okay so we take him to meaningful museums we take him to a big sporting event uh outside stuff is gonna be stuff he's already done sure you take him to a park he's like yeah i know yeah yeah i know about the sunset i'm fucking bigfoot you just spend a few hours just
Starting point is 00:46:38 playing like super smash bros melee that would be sick the whole time may be video games to be honest. That's what I would want to do if I were Bigfoot. I would take Bigfoot to like, we'd go for barbecue. That's nice. Yeah. Does he, does he, does he? Oh, Bigfoot's a vegan? You think Bigfoot is like plant-based?
Starting point is 00:46:57 Well, otherwise he's like a murderous gorilla, which is terrifying to think about. I always considered he would, I don't think it's a principle thing, though. I bet if you gave Bigfoot pulled pork, he'd be like, I have been missing out.
Starting point is 00:47:13 Or she. Or she would be. I think this is a male Bigfoot in this question. Oh, yeah. I think that's right. Yeah, this is one of the fellas. Because this is before the government guns him down. He's blindfolded and put against a brick wall.
Starting point is 00:47:28 He knows that if he goes to wherever this person's house is, that the government will find out within 24 hours. Yeah. So he's like, I'm too sad to live out here. I'm going to have the best day of my life. Yeah. Yeah. It's like Make-A-Wish for Bigfoot.
Starting point is 00:47:42 Oh, you know what Bigfoot's got to do is ride some vehicles. Oh, maybe a roller coaster. I was thinking skydiving. Oh, yeah. Does he want to do that, though? Does he want to do that? I don't know who can say. I feel like skydiving is something that you're socially introduced to
Starting point is 00:47:58 as the only way to get someone to want to do it. I don't think people organically are like, I'd like to fall out of a plane. You're true, but I bet Bigfoot looks at birds and is like, that looks sick. Now, what if they just went down before? They're still changing their trajectory. I'm going to read this.
Starting point is 00:48:19 It's not a bad idea. I'm not totally against it. No, no, no. I think you're right, though, that skydiving isn't a human impulse. Yeah, you'll be fun when I shoot you with the gun later. You're going to love that. There's one answer here from Mark Carter who says, I'd shave his body, trim his beard.
Starting point is 00:48:35 We got there real quick. I'd give him a red blazer. Okay. K, black trousers and bow tie, and I get him a job at my uncle's Jeep slash Dodge dealership. No, that stinks. Don't make Bigfoot have a job. In Montana. You go into the Dodge dealership thinking it'll be a normal day.
Starting point is 00:48:52 The fucking entrepreneur poisoned brain of Americans to be like, finally, a new employee. I get Bigfoot a job. I get Bigfoot a wallet. Would you rather have $500,000, lunch with Jay-Z, or Bigfoot as your uncle's employee? He'll do it. He can sell anything. Oh, you know what? There is an answer here under needs improvement that I actually agree does need improvement
Starting point is 00:49:16 because the answer from Danny is shoot him and get the reward. What reward is there? Is there like a famous Bigfoot reward? I don't know. It's a big reward for our big guy. But it's pissing me off. Yeah, that stinks. That's so mean.
Starting point is 00:49:31 You need improvement. I'd kill him right there at the house. Whoa, I didn't. Don't even tell anyone. Just know. Just live with it. You thought you were safe here. There's a picture of Chewbacca with a woman.
Starting point is 00:49:45 Doug says, explain to him that he is a Wookiee. Watch Star Wars with him and then take him out bar hopping and get him laid. Huh. You know what? I think he would like the Star Wars and bar hopping, so it's really not that bad of an idea. I also think you can't shave him and trick a woman into thinking he's a person. That's wrong. but I definitely have
Starting point is 00:50:07 many friends who would fuck Bigfoot oh for the celebrity alone or just the story maybe they're attracted to him or maybe they're just like why the hell not are these men or women I think it could go either way
Starting point is 00:50:21 there's a lot of people as a matter of fact I would bet there's a Quora community dedicated to this specific I'm so surprised that this didn't get as sexual wasn't there a politician who had like a Bigfoot fetish Am I misremembering this? I think you're right.
Starting point is 00:50:38 Do you remember which one? Ted Cruz. No, I don't know. I can't remember who it was. I remember there was like a small town. Or they had written a Bigfoot romance novel or something. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:49 I don't know if it was. I forget what the details were, whether like their browser history was revealed or they'd like written something under a pseudonym. I can't remember who it was. I have to assume it was Joe Biden. That's the only thing I can assume that it was Joe Biden. And I don't know if that's good or bad for him, but however it makes you feel, you know, make your voice heard, November. He was one fuzzy Mac. His words.
Starting point is 00:51:12 Oh, Johnny Squatch? Yeah. Ah, you're a big guy. I call him a big one. Big guy. It's just a guy he knew as a kid. Joe, I've been telling you, that's not big for me. It's just a hairy Russian man.
Starting point is 00:51:25 I had pretty big feet. Ah, look at him. He's got plotters. i like this impression we have a very inaccurate and wide-ranging joe biden visits the show every week it does change all the time um we have any question we do one or two more alex which one of these you oh we got time baby we got time oh i'd do the squirrels one please okay please this question is how do you catch and eat squirrels without catching the bubonic plague thank you um i think easy answer is you just do it do most squirrels have the bubonic plague i don't
Starting point is 00:52:05 know is the bubonic plague a hold-in for a random disease right like rabies they could have rabies yeah oh sure boy would i feel stupid though if i got the bubonic plague from eating a squirrel because that seems like something you do is a lot yeah it feels getting the bubonic plague at all feels like whoa throwback thursday skill issue yeah it would be not have done that it sounds so painful you get boobos i'm sure this joke was made one million times four years ago but it would be funny if if the plague came back and we all just had to take like tests for the black death or whatever and then a lot of people wouldn't yeah exactly well there's one telltale sign there's a children's rhyme about it that's right absolutely um well i'm glad that that didn't
Starting point is 00:52:55 happen and that we're safe um is there a are there helpful answers uh there are six answers the answer is cooking them on i think that's right yeah were you yeah were these people gonna just like eat raw squirrel like sushi yeah you gotta cook it or tartar they're rural tartar That's disgusting. Yeah, it's horrible. Absolutely do not do that. You're playing with fire. That was J.D. Vance's book, right?
Starting point is 00:53:21 Squirrel Tartare. Squirrel Tartare, the story of my fucking idiot family. This guy, Richard, says, most squirrels do not have the bubonic plague. Use ordinary hygiene measures such as wearing gloves. It is the fleas on squirrels that transmit the plague, not the squirrels themselves. I guess there must be some concern about this.
Starting point is 00:53:41 This seems like a real thing. And again, cook them. You gotta cook it. You've got to cook it. Stop eating raw squirrels. This other guy says don't catch western gray squirrels. So those are the ones to look out for. Okay.
Starting point is 00:53:56 So good advice. That's most of them as far as I've seen. Sometimes you see a black one, but that's about it. There's a brown one. Wasn't there a white one in Prospect Park recently? Now I bet there's some fine meat on that squirrel. You can catch that one. Plague free.
Starting point is 00:54:12 Yeah, you can go raw on the albino squirrel. And then once again, an answer that needs improvement from Dennis, I don't know. I guess one will have to stop eating squirrel until this risk has passed, if it passes. I actually think that's a perfect answer. And this guy's qualification is political neutral, veteran, Bible student of 50 years. He's playing it safe. Bible student of 50 years. His picture is a flaming sword.
Starting point is 00:54:38 He's the man. That is so crazy. I love it. He knows about guns and firearms. Sure. And Abrahamic religions. That's pretty cool. I love how straightforward this account is.
Starting point is 00:54:52 I'm following him. Big fan. Did you see, by the way, we were messaged by Mark Vor immediately after. Were we really? We did an episode last week where we read a question by someone named Mark Vor who has one follower and it's us. He has one follower and all of his questions are about Vor. And would you be surprised that his message to us. I'm not on your account, Alex.
Starting point is 00:55:10 I don't have access to this stuff. The message to us was, and I quote, hey, I saw you like Vore. So that guy, he got wise and used a pseudonym, not like some of these other folks. Oh, yeah, that's the only way to do it. Either he's using a pseudonym or he's got a perfect name. Yeah, right. He was named like someone from like a fable. He's there to teach lessons.
Starting point is 00:55:32 Wait, so where, I see we also have been requested on an answer. Can I see you in briefs, which I don't think we need to. Where is the message? I got an email about it. Oh, my God. Now is not the time to discuss Mark 4. It kind of is now. Now is not the time to discuss Mark 4.
Starting point is 00:55:47 He wants to talk to us about eating eels live again. All right, fair enough. I'll get to it. Right now, we're talking about eating squirrels. Fair enough. Which are safe if you cook them. All right, let's read another question. Yes.
Starting point is 00:55:58 And do one more, Alex. Which one do you like on these? Okay, let's switch up. Oh, I really like the first forbidden knowledge one, actually. I do, too. Okay. So this is our supernatural segment, forbidden knowledge. dare you dive into the unknown this is a really good question uh if i ate human meat
Starting point is 00:56:21 am i considered a cannibal forever or what that is a good question i like how bad he is or what is like a great way to end that so i ate human meat we all make mistakes oh i'm some kind of fucking cannibal now it doesn't sound like he was tricked to do it is that a possibility if you do it on purpose once you're a cannibal i'm sorry i guess it's like but but is it something you can use to be i get that question like if you're stuck in the alps and someone dies and you eat them for for nutrition and sustenance and survival and then you get home and you're like that we did it it was fucked up i'd obviously never do it again in civilization, are people like, oh, that's the cannibal.
Starting point is 00:57:08 Oh, I was in yellow jackets back then. Right, right, right. That was different. I guess if you just don't keep saying the first time was the best, then you're fine. This question should be, can people change? That baby that knows I used to be a cannibal. I would say that you probably are one forever just because you're, I mean, people are going but they're going to point at you and they're going to say cannibal.
Starting point is 00:57:35 That's going to happen. And you have to admit, you did that shit. And I will say, from watching Yellow Jackets, no spoilers, but they do seem to feel like cannibals for the rest of their lives. Like, they don't seem over it. No, yeah, it changes a man. Haunted by it. Or a girls' soccer team.
Starting point is 00:57:52 Or a girls' soccer team. Hit the tips for women button. The only one we haven't done. Watch me nail it in my first go. I don't even need to label them. Don't eat your co-workers or whatever they do on that show. I've never seen it. Soccer team.
Starting point is 00:58:14 That's right. Girls soccer team. That's right. Okay, well, this guy Danny says, if you eat a potato, that doesn't make you a vegetarian. If a vegetarian eats meat, he's not a vegetarian anymore. If someone ate meat once, he can still become a vegetarian until he stops. He will, however, forever have been a meat eater once.
Starting point is 00:58:32 If you were a cannibal once, you would have at least been one for the rest of your life. If you change your diet to human-free after one tryout, you won't be a cannibal anymore because you don't eat human-based food anymore. This feels like a riddle. What a sage mind. I do think there's something to be saying, right? Like, if you were not brought up vegetarian and convert to vegetarianism, you are a vegetarian. That's right.
Starting point is 00:58:51 And then if you start eating meat, you are no longer a vegetarian. Yeah. I would say in terms of eating habits, you are not a cannibal. But in terms of social stigma, you are forever a cannibal. I think that's right. That's right. Like, you're not, your friends aren't like, oh, Alex is coming. We got to make sure that it's like a cannibal place we're going to.
Starting point is 00:59:08 Do I have to get human bone? I only cook human meat. But if I go to a restaurant, I'm kind of a frannable. I only eat human meat that I kill myself. If it's locally sourced, I'll eat. you know i just want to know that it died cruelty free i use all the parts have you guys ever had human meat no i haven't never once either i've never played soccer that is a gateway drug not interested i know where that goes i've never been in a plane crash
Starting point is 00:59:39 oh man i am so scared of my plane crashing now i took a flight to minneapolis a few weeks ago and even though i specifically got on the kind that hasn't been having all the parts fall off of them i'm so scared of it and those are the kind of the worst name too uh airbus those are the good ones at least the air train yeah i feel safe on air train i honestly airplane that one was where i felt the safest and those are the bad ones no reason to mess with the classic yeah they say what is it it's more dangerous to drive to the airport that's true it's definitely still more dangerous to drive but the idea that like there's even this slightly higher chance of uh my plane having anything wrong with it terrifies me i do i do demand to drive to the airport in a tesla
Starting point is 01:00:28 cyber truck so i know that the most dangerous part of my journey is over when i get there right yeah yeah as provided you can leave yeah right well yeah i missed my flight because my the truck caught fire and i couldn't get out of it crumpled i feel like that's one of the tests they did on the cyber truck is like can you catch up with a plane as it's departing um there's a really good answer here about the cannibal thing where he says jeffrey dahmer uh liked to eat mcdonald's but nobody mentions that nobody mentions that no i've never heard it before i don't i don't know why we would have mentioned it is it true it's such i've served over a billion people most times i bring up a person i don't talk about how whether it's a mcdonald's is that even true i wonder did
Starting point is 01:01:14 Did Jeffrey Dahmer actually like McDonald's? Because that is weird. Who doesn't? It was the 70s. I just wonder if anyone would know if he was just like, McDonald's is actually the closest to human meat. As someone who loves human meat, McDonald's actually does take pretty similar.
Starting point is 01:01:29 That would be pretty fucked up. I've heard people say that it was better in the 70s. Human meat? Yeah. No, the McDonald's. The human meat is probably largely the same. And that's by avoiding the factory process. that's right well it sounds like we're in quorum i will say i did find the mark for
Starting point is 01:01:50 answer question and i just like he says hey bro you seem interested too the question about swallowed eel and again we are completely in the wrong on this because we hey bro went to his eel question and followed him and commented on it and he's like good a friend yeah i feel we're building community this is why i'm at quora we're catfishing this man oh he would love that and he would swallow that thing alive. Now that's a heaping helping. Do we want to do one last question, or do we want to call it a day?
Starting point is 01:02:22 Is there one you're dying to do? Is that what's happening? No, there's not. Okay. There's really not, honestly. Looking at all of these. Really scraping the barrel in there. We're doing another one of these tomorrow.
Starting point is 01:02:31 Okay, great. I'll tell you what. I really like that Bigfoot one. I feel like it's been a while since I've heard a good internet hypothetical, and that was a fun one. do you have any questions you'd like to ask Cora
