Type into
the box below. What's up?
Great.
We are your number one Quora podcast where we ask
the question every week. What is Quora?
We're trying to figure it out and we're trying to figure out
what it is. We have a very special guest this week all
the way from whatever any here is Brooklyn,
New York.
It is a stand
up comedian and
didn't and lady about
town. We have Brittany Karn. Thank you
Brittany, welcome to the show.
Thank you.
I'm so honored to be here.
Thanks for coming.
From Brooklyn to Brooklyn.
From Brooklyn to Brooklyn.
Our debut album.
What an honor.
Yeah.
What do you think?
What genre is that?
Oh, like.
Fusion.
Fusion?
Yeah.
Fusion because it's our two styles combined.
Oh, okay.
Wait, wait, wait.
Your guys' two styles?
No, it's our two styles.
I'm not on the album.
Jeremy is not on our album.
I do one rap verse on one song.
jeremy is paid for one feature and it's weird people don't like it that's gonna bump sales
like nobody likes when jay-z is on a song anymore but it gets you on the radio and that's what's
important yeah yeah people throw fits about it when he's on an album wait what does this album
cover look like of our album yeah brooklyn to brooklyn i think it's you guys back to back with
your arms crossed like a teen movie okay here's my bitch so we're still back to back serving spy
kids yeah yeah and it might be that same pose but it's like zoomed in where our face is almost like
the whole cover and it's like faded into each other and then it's also like the twin towers
ghost in the background so it's like so you it's like new york and alex and britney at the same
time oh yeah that's beautiful i like that from one brooklyn to the next our plans for a financial
district in brooklyn now britney we've known each other for some time yes i'd say so we used to run
a stand-up comedy show down the street in brooklyn oh in brooklyn where we love it we we love brooklyn
a pop down the well i was gonna say the g train but i guess you could walk and i did that's it
was the most convenient time of my life and it's over now thanks covid yeah but um that was the
big loss from covid was brooklyn bar shows cherry tree bar with their pizza shop in the bar
they served pizza i forgot about that yeah this is honestly a great segue for our podcast because
we have one segment on the podcast where we ask a question at the end this is our only segment
and last week our question was i am a brooklyn hipster living in park slope brooklyn what should
i eat for lunch this was weirdly yeah to quora we asked for this oh that's funny okay i see i see
if they were asking when the cherry tree bar was open should i have lunch there i would say no
i don't think that's not a lunch destination not a lunch destination i don't even know if
it was open but if it was it's so it was so dark yeah it was dark uh the pizza was fine
it was really marketed to you're already drunk and don't want to leave have some pizza there
was always some like older man kind of just like alone at the bar like it wasn't like uh
That was to make you feel welcome.
Like Santa Claus.
Like Santa Claus.
Take the words right out of my mouth.
Yeah, this is a very literal question for our quora.
No one answered it, so.
That makes sense, because they knew we were.
Just our listeners answered it.
They knew we were doing this all goddamn wrong.
Do you want to read one of the listener answers?
Make them feel special?
Sure.
This is from Didi.
It says, you should check out Champ's Diner on Meserol Street.
Looks like a nice hipster place.
Unfortunately, it's vegan, so no hamburgers or scrambled eggs,
if that's your thing.
Hey, do you know how to tell a vegan at a party?
Oh, and then it's up to us to answer.
That place is closing.
Well, sorry, DeeDee.
Sucks to suck.
Bad answer.
Try again next time.
Again, if you are going to answer one of our Quoras,
make sure you use the word scrambled eggs.
Yes.
So we know you are not a real Quora user.
And then...
Goddamn plant.
Another listener, RoboHora, said Fonda at 434 7th Ave.
Yo, that place is great, but it's very expensive.
So there you go.
what um it's like french no it's it's uh it's like regular mexican food but it's like fancy
oh why did i get french what is it called
oh i thought you said like fondant which i don't even know if that's a word i was thinking of
other words i can't do it yeah that was good what other what other french things does it sound like
What's that?
What other French things does it sound like, do you think?
Oh, I'm not doing this.
Okay.
I got nothing.
Fair enough.
I don't think I could do it.
Well, we'll come up with a better one today.
You can't ask something that would actually help you in your life.
That's not what Quora is for.
Brittany, we had this discussion before we started rolling today,
but you have been on Quora.com before.
I have.
Maybe in a past life.
Yeah, and I might in a future life again.
Sure, yeah.
Okay.
But not this one.
No, not in the present moment.
I have no relationship to Cora outside of this podcast and the current.
We're hoping to change that.
We're hoping to change that.
Yeah.
So I'm familiar with the interface and the like culture of Cora,
if that makes sense.
And I was saying,
well,
what I said to Alex earlier,
I just look at you like I forgot your name,
but I do.
The word that occurred to me earlier was like,
the questions feel like i'm not part of reality like like the way that people ask questions and
then respond to them make me feel like i'm in a truly like a twilight zone like it's like
that's a great way great way to there's a few elements of it one is the grammar is always
crazy it's like right you're right but like seemingly done from someone who speaks the
language right that's exactly it it's not like not second language right that's not what it
seems like it seems like it has its own language the feeling is like i ran out of time to get this
down correctly so it's just like should i should i be under the train yeah it's like missing certain
like articles of speech or something but like you know right like it's not like they went through
esl yeah quora.com i'm tired should i be under the train right right is that a twilight zone
yeah what if you were under the train we have that it's on a different board i don't have time
to go get it what if everyone had a pig face uh we've oh that's a twilight zone i love uh phrasing
all of the black mirrors as if they're different low effort twilights what if everyone was on their
phone in a bad way i fucking hate black mirror i kind of love it it actually freaks me out yeah
but i realize that it's i enjoy it well some episodes i've seen and some i feel just do you
don't like it because you don't think it's good or you like it unsettles him yeah no i i think it's
bad it probably makes you i do think it's bad i'm taking i don't i'm not like if someone likes it
i'm not gonna be like you're dumb or something but it's not for me okay what about what about
black mirror do you dislike so much uh from your high horse that you live on i don't know i just
feel like it's been a long time since i've seen black mirror or had a thought about black mirror
but i feel like the the questions that it asks are usually just like silly
there it's too silly to take seriously for you yeah i feel like i'm actually
out of myself because i don't think i've actually really watched sure i haven't seen not black mirror
twilight zone black mirror i've seen twilight zone i like twilight zone obviously a classic
i don't think i've like seen of course i just hear references to it like the thing that i keep
hearing about is the one that's about um we're like the guy okay two but i i know there's limited
time one is like i'm running out of time here but i've heard of two twilight zones
no one is going anywhere we have so much time except alex's cat just like ran by with a lot
of hurried energy it is actually a little it's it's making us feel uh i think higher energy
waffles the cat is sprinting by yeah i feel i'm like sweating i just live this way it's not
bothering me at all wait so there's one twilight zone episode where a guy like wants to read and
his wife is like yeah stop reading i beat my husband yeah you know stop reading and make love
to me and then it's like it's like apocalyptic and then ultimately his glasses work that's like
that's like what i keep hearing yeah yeah so finally a world without my damn wife right
Is that the premise?
Always stopping me from reading.
But steal my seed.
I feel like the Twilight Zone is usually just like,
what if your boss was the devil?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I don't know.
That's so scary.
To illustrate the difference between Black Mirror and Twilight Zone,
Black Mirror is like,
well, if you're president, I do my job to a pig.
Whereas the Twilight Zone is like,
what if a gremlin was on the wing of your plane,
but no one believed you?
It's sillier.
That's kind of at the same time darker.
Yeah.
It is darker.
It takes it to the next level
that we've been afraid to touch
since the 50s, 60s.
And I guess the reason that I brought it up
or it came to mind back to Quora,
back to the subject matter at hand,
is because when I read the questions
and the responses,
it makes me feel like I've lost control
over what my reality is.
We're getting a response out of Brittany
that feels like you are in therapy right now.
how does quora make you feel i just start crying feels as if a gremlin typed this
um yeah i'm trying to feel like i just okay or it's always like it's always it comes up to it
a certain order of things right if you're like typing a question it's like if it's a certain
kind of question maybe it's like a webmd and then quora but then if it's like the questions can be
about anything people i feel like relationship stuff or like whatever it's like something like
google like like a blog or article and then like bing and then quora it's like third or fourth
it lives without identity because it's not google it's not a search engine it's not facebook and
it's not reddit but it is all of those things if for some reason the first one is shut down
somehow like uh there's a fire at reddit and so you can't go on there today you could go to quora
Quora is a free agent
yes
sign
free agent
you could sign it now
you could get on
get on the Quora
train
before all that money comes
have you guys thought about
buying it
buying Quora
people have been responding
to us online
as if we already own Quora
and it has been a great
source of power
honestly if you guys
owned it
that would track
and I mean that
as a compliment
I thought you were going to say
you would use it more
to support my business
but that's fine
wait whose business
laugh at my powerful
website if we owned quora if we owned it we're saying we'd want all of our comedian friends in
new york to be using it more jeremy and i own quora would you use it yeah do you mean that
because i'm not gonna buy it if you don't trust me from my i'm not gonna response i'm either
getting a private island or quora i have to decide by the end of the week well both sound like okay
both of those seem like they require a lot of maintenance the private island more so
Like gardening.
I'll get some fucker to clean that shit up.
You can afford it.
I don't care.
With all this cash I got hanging around.
I might as well buy a quarter.
I'm really naturally drinking from this water.
You really are in the talent zone.
Paralyzed by the camera.
Unable to drink water anymore.
The worst that I've ever held him up.
Brought to the level of a baby.
I think you want to keep the mic next to the tip.
That was ASMR.
I like it.
I should probably keep water away from all these cables for my own.
This is off the goddamn rails.
Okay, so let's start.
Sure, let's read some fucking Quora.
It's been too long.
Number one.
I miss it.
Is it bad to eat dust?
Okay.
This is a medical question.
Quora MD.
And this is an ambulance for Quora MD, the segment.
This might be dangerous for drivers.
Sorry.
Heads up, you're not being arrested.
Sorry, but I will continue to do it every week.
I had an EKG flatlining on here,
but it took like a while and was very upsetting.
You've been watching Doogie Howser, right?
Yes.
Do they have a good theme song we could steal?
I'm doing research for my Kickstarter.
Doogie Howser has a fantastic theme song.
Maybe that should be our Quora MD.
Is that illegal somehow?
Oh, probably, yeah.
That might be illegal.
They'll never catch us.
Anyway, what's the question?
Is it bad to eat dust?
Is it bad to eat dust?
I have to assume yes.
Medically.
so again this is gonna raise your hand scott olinger it's gonna raise my hand but i don't
want to interrupt okay there's no interrupting you got it all i was gonna say is i think it's
a real question of volume britney what do you think well i guess i was raising my hand to
ask a question which is that is now my role to respond oh like in conversation is that why i'm
here yeah so we're we like to uh you know answer the questions ourselves and then see what answers
are organically on the page because sometimes there's really funny stuff on the page and it's
better than the question but then other times these fuckers they don't know so they don't know
what's up where you guys like reflect on what you feel about yeah yeah and so with the topic being
how do you feel about eating dust is it bad what would your answer be you said it's a volume
question your boy did your mic double mic does it work best if i kind of position britney is it bad
to eat dust i don't know i don't really think so because i think me neither a lot of dust yeah
that's probably true yeah i stay eating dust you know when people are like every year every like
you know when people say that people well the main thing i always hear is that you eat like
eight spiders a year which i always want to be like no i don't no no no here i was gonna bring
up the spider example yeah okay but here's how i feel about that i don't really care like sure
i kind of feel like yeah we probably ingest spiders or maybe that's more than feels realistic
but what i do with my body is up to me and spiders yeah my body is a temple for spiders
it's a spider temple and they're worshiping in your belly it's like i don't want to know that
i'm eating a spider in the moment but if the idea is that i just like do then okay i don't really
have that much of a defense yeah of a defense against that outside of spider traps you'd go
on like fear factor and be like i've eaten eight of these a year just 10 in a minute while i'm
awake too i forgot the word i was gonna say scorpio but i mean a tarantula anyway scorpion
is a different thing okay so um dust like i don't want to take a spoonful of it but if it's kind of
just getting in my tubes then like i feel like wait this and the body is too we're living in
new york city to be clear legally it's too i feel like the air in new york city is like 10 poison
right like every day after you're in and yeah the subway is like literally metal like we're all
ingesting metals that will kill us and and microplastics yeah so yeah eat some dust i just
you can't be scared of it but i think if someone were like like if a countertop was like oh if you
went into like an old ass antique store and there was like collected dust sure if you blew off a map
or something if someone took a spoon to it i would be concerned for them and their like
yeah health mentally and physically sure mentally for sure there would be social repercussions
also just like what is going on with them if they're eating a spoonful of dust i don't want
to yuck anyone's yum but i would feel like oh that person probably shouldn't be doing that i guess
but i think society has told you that yeah but ultimately the way i feel about it is
similar to you alex it's a volume thing yeah a little dust is your own business you know
Great Expectations
the
the great novel
yeah
there's a scene
there's a whole thing
with this like
morning
old
widow
Miss Havisham
and then
she lives in like
a really dusty room
and like her
wedding cake is still
kind of rotting on the
table
she left her
wedding cake
on the table
sorry like
something like
the husband died
or left her at the altar
I forgot
oh okay
this is like
truly not what the book is about
there's a great reason for her to leave a cake on the table she's still in her wedding dress
and it's like she lives in a really dusty environment still in the dress oh no but that
makes me think that some people right and so like if she ingests dust she might have more of a
resistance to it yeah she's stronger than us honestly like if you have a friend who is left
at the altar and then years later they're still in the dress with their cake rotting on the table
it is your purview to get involved in their life don't leave them to their dusty room that's true
yeah be a good friend be the change you wish to see are you i don't know what we're doing all
right okay hold on is it bad to eat dust probably yes but we're all doing it yes it's kind of the
idea with the understanding there are microplastics everywhere i don't feel bad eating sure no yeah
I'm not saying it's the worst thing.
Sure, okay.
Anyway, David Wawoski says,
eating a little bit of dust may not be harmful for your body.
In fact, it is quite healthy to eat some pathogenic germs.
Really?
As long as you don't overdo it.
And he said overdo wrong, which is a little concerning.
It is healthy because it motivates your immune system
to look for ways to destroy these outside sources.
Cool.
Like when you give a hunting dog a scent,
but by eating dust.
There is a through line of you thinking
that every quora answer is about dogs i don't know what you're talking about i love it uh once
your body knows how to do this your body keeps a record of how to destroy these pathogens in
your body so next time you are sick because of this your body is well prepared on how to fight
these uh these diseases so i think you want i don't know if i trust this man's medical knowledge
i think it seems sound in theory but it sounds like something i'd come up with and i make up
shit all the goddamn time we did make that up earlier that's basically what we said okay
well is this guy like i'm a pathologist or is he like um let's go on his being a good friend we
can check what he studied at georgia oh my god this man's picture we can look at a picture of
his face he's he doesn't have a like a job what is the line between like uh uh violating privacy
and also look at this motherfucker that we have on this podcast he looks very airbrushed and he's
just like yeah dude he's he's doing the smile from the movie smile he's kind of doing a smile
from the movie smile oh that uh i actually don't know what you're talking about there's a horror
movie yeah called smile where they do a creepy smile that david wozni is doing where it's like
they have a scene where they're like just smile like how david does you know
and we're being hard on this guy it's really just a business headshot he's just in a suit
and he's he hasn't even posted on quorum six years either he's not he's a he's a good man
You think it's the same that's on his LinkedIn?
Yeah, it's a LinkedIn pick for sure.
But it's like very high contrast and like smoothed out, it looks like.
Yeah.
It might just be a smooth looking meal.
Wait, go back to the answers.
There was one that had an intriguing start, which was-
Well, one person said, if you want to eat dust, then you might have pica, which is like-
Yeah, yeah.
Well, I'm sorry.
I knocked this out.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, that's okay.
What is that?
Oh, that's your headphone?
My microphone.
I got you.
My headphones?
I got you.
Thank you so much.
All right, tell me.
Can you hear it?
Yes, I can hear it.
Thank you.
it does when you don't have enough iron right so you like it's like one of those shows that was
like you know how tlc had a lot of shows that were like this freak but it's just like someone
with a difference so like some like we're being nice to this freak yeah i think it was a show
about like weird habits or something and someone with pika like wanted to eat the um this is my
strange addiction or something my strange addiction correct so it was they were like
wanting to eat the little pebbles on the inside of a swimming pool for some reason see those are
chemicals you don't want to eat those that's not harmless like dust is which is actually good to
eat and like chalk right dust of any of these things like people with pika eat chalk too and
that's like a calcium thing i convinced myself i had pika as a kid because i kept eating ice cubes
which is just not related oh that's just water yeah but as a dumb child i was like i must be
sick you really needed the attention back then just going up to your parents being like i have
pika i won't stop eating chalk how did you learn about this what are you watching uh this like that
this one was an intriguing start to me um this is from jesse wilkinson who's i love to travel
and discover new delicious foods that's appropriate if you are allergic to dust mites then yes but if
you're like me spelled y-o-u-r which i have had a skin test then you should be fine but that is
kind of gross facts wait what is spelled if you oh if you're like me we cannot get hung up on the
response grammar we're gonna be here all day all of these are written wrong yeah that's the beauty
of quora that's the beauty of quora and then their picture is their picture is a big uh breakfast
buffet it's so fun eggs and sausage eggs are fun this guy also hasn't answered anything in six
years well what was going on here six years ago i don't know i'm kind of scared that's just well
that raises a good question like some people have dust allergies yeah so if you have one yeah
if you're listening to this at home with a dust allergy do not eat dust just because we said it's
good for you otherwise go ham if your stomach the clues it needs to root out dust in the future
here's a funny one from a food blogger john thompson didn't the bible god condemn the serpent
to eat dust all the rest of his days after his involvement in that naughty apple business
I rather think that was
supposed to be a punishment.
Is that true?
Did Bible God do that?
Oh, you like eating dust so much? Too bad it's
forbidden by the Lord.
Is that in the Bible?
Yeah. It's under the
dietary restrictions part.
Fair enough.
It's in brunch-a-lees.
Why do you think this person asked this question in the first place?
They want to eat dust.
They want to eat dust.
I think they have people.
I'm 100% sure they're like, I want to eat some dozen, but I got to check first.
Is this cool to do?
I think Jeremy wrote it.
I think I wrote it, actually, as a child six years ago.
Okay.
We have a lot of questions.
Let's do the next one.
Okay.
Number two.
If someone behaved like a real-life Mr. Bean, would he be diagnosed with any mental conditions
slash behavioral disorders?
Oh, interesting.
You know Mr. Bean.
I love Mr. Bean.
We all know Mr. Bean.
I'm like an OG.
Like, I love, this is not the point.
I just love Rowan Atkinson, the man.
Sure.
that obviously doesn't act like Mr. Bean,
but I love Mr. Bean.
Yes.
That's such an interesting question.
So the point is that it's like an exciting question
because I think about him a lot.
Mr. Bean in the context of now,
would he be like, oh, this man is suffering?
If you met Mr. Bean,
would you be like, you need to see a therapist?
Wait, sorry.
If a man was acting like Mr. Bean
or is this on behalf of somebody
who meets someone who's acting like Mr. Bean?
If someone behaved like a real life Mr. Bean,
would he be diagnosed with any mental condition i think the answer is that he'd have like mr bean
ism right that's probably he has a turkey on his head yeah you have mr bean disorder
see the issue is i'm thinking of mr bean but i'm imagining the rowan atkinson role in rat race
which is honestly canonically not mr bean underrated under underappreciated and this
are not good. This decade will validate
rat race. Yeah, I think so. As the
seminal work it is. But Mr. Bean's
thing is he's like kind of clumsy, right?
But he's like, he has like a
like a
he ruins like
he's like a clown. Yeah, he's
a clown. He ruins many investigations.
He's like a mime who talks.
Does he ruin investigations? Yeah,
because I feel like there's always a stuffy detective
around him. Yeah, you're
not thinking of Johnny English.
and i made me thinking of johnny english which is the real danger of this question yeah i was like
is it tests you mr bean wise yeah this is also just an ode to rowan huckinson and his range of
clowning so um that's interesting because like at first i was like huh would someone then read
his behavior and like think about neuro he definitely doesn't he seems like he misses
signals sure right
yeah so that's like
Asperger's yeah yeah yeah
I think they should this is such a
but he doesn't seem like he excels at math
per se right
which is an Asperger's thing he seems cunning
and at the same time not that bright
right but that's also just like human
sure yeah maybe he has
um um
like a sociopathy kind of thing
like maybe he just has to be on the top
this is me guessing not accurately remembering what mr bean i know i i could i don't i haven't
seen mr bean in a while um i guess he does get kind of worked up in the same way that like
you know how like the larry david character in curb is like focuses on like fixates on things
i feel like mr bean which i yeah i haven't seen in years like has that a bit sure i have to get
without speaking he's less pedantic than larry david though he gets less stuck on yeah i mean
i don't think he likes and social cues speaks can you give me an example of something mr bean
has done since you seem like you know mr bean the truth is that i've watched okay yes the truth is
what did you say personally in real life you know mr bean like he's your uncle i didn't i don't
enjoy mr bean as much as i like his stuff in like blackadder so i feel like i haven't watched as
much about mr mean but i definitely did in the 90s yeah um there's like a christmas oh oh oh
something about a sock um something about a sock like he's like fixing a sock or like he has a sock
is like puppet fuck there's like a thing with a sock and he does this weird like mumbly
like a like a minion where it's like it sounds like english kind of yeah but it's like you know
what i mean it's like babble it's like okay okay i think and so that makes me that does make me
think of a disorder of some kind but then the chicken mr bean disorder name it after him
i feel like he like navigates the world he like i'm sorry i'm looking i'm looking not at anything
in particular i was like right well some call it disassociating i was trying to imagine
Mr. Bean like fumbling around
down the street, ambling
slash fumbling down the street. It's a cold day to be
doing that, Mr. Bean. Oh my god, it's freezing out there.
It always seems cold in Mr. Bean's
That's true in England.
Doesn't he go to the beach in one?
Oh, I think he does, Jeremy.
I think he does. But you know what?
We're kind of, we're scraping out the barrel here.
What do people say? This one's really, really,
really long. So I'm going to read the first
two sentences. And this
is Emma, former
wood carver says i think i'm going to get burnt at the stake for this but i'm autistic and beneath
a very calm outward exterior facade i have roaming mr beam mr bean inner aspect that runs
among when i'm by myself why would you get burnt at the stake for saying i am similar to mr b
the mob is gonna have my head for this one but i am a lot like mr bead
it's like a totally fine thing to say maybe you can't get away with this with uh
joe biden in office i actually am very similar to tv's mr bean
does she have any examples oh she's a lot of i know it's like 2 000 words but
it was the golfing scenes that connected the dots for me when his mind was set on winning
a game of crazy golf and he stuck to the set of rules of the games to such a meticulous extent
and he ended up getting a bus and extracting turf
all so that he could just get on with the game.
All I could see was my own stringent adherence to rules
in the face of ridiculous extremes.
His focus was completely restricted by what he was doing
and he is always oblivious to the standards of those around him.
That's me.
That's so enlightening.
Can we put that on the podcast
or is that going to get us burnt at the stake?
You'll have to lock me up because I'm here to tell truth.
Well, I think our instincts are...
um in in collab in the connect with these yes yes what's what am i thinking we're in
colluding i don't know it's like uh yeah like we were like yeah we're thinking of spectrum
sure and also like fixation stuff we're kind of brooklyn to brooklyn with this answer
wait it's a collaboration yeah yeah and not a lot of tension no no no just nothing but flows
between us and emma former woodcarver 2006 to 2016 all right that's interesting yeah we can
see her deal yeah she seems low-key mr bean peeled and this is a middle-aged woman with like
a hood on she she knows what she's talking about she's been around the block she knows about mr
bean uh she shared a meme that says quora the social network for the unsocial and then has two
laughing emojis and that's in the lol club which is definitely a forum i want to be a part of
we're gonna go ahead and click on lol club now really quick hold on very relevant stuff
and then the top thing is the butthurt report sure okay i'm already resenting having to go
get the pictures of this this is terrible all right just old memes i can't look at this anymore
hey you don't want to look at the law club right now you're gonna crack up i'm curious what other
people have to say about mr bean uh i do not think so being lonely and to an extent to an
extent liking it is not a disease is that the main thing about mr bean though is that he's lonely
no i think he's lonely because of everything else in his life he's lonely because he's like
mr bean all the goddamn time yeah yeah yeah this person's very upset he just keeps saying like
Mr. Bean is not sick.
Mr. Bean is not your costume.
Most of all, he is free.
I can even call him a punk rocker
for not conforming to the, quote,
rules of extremely prudent societies.
I don't know about that one, man.
Alas, if anybody who was different
was considered with a mental condition,
the whole planet would be in an asylum.
Say that.
Yeah.
Say it again.
Say it louder for the people in the back.
Yeah.
That's right.
we're just a world of mr beans okay okay all right sure that's just something some somebody
wrote that oh wait this is an interesting medical diagnosis this is from bella freeman it says
possibly dyspraxia as he is very clumsy yeah that's the big thing he's clumsy and he you know
yeah he seems like he doesn't have like the correct inner ear balance that's true wait you're
actually the most medically like grounded of all of us i really do feel that way i think that's
true i pick up a lot from my certain uh uh from my surroundings and i've been in many hospitals
where i just sit i sit down and i listen you could probably be a doctor i could yeah medical
school with my street skills well your parents are both doctors yes oh you'd be a nepo doctor
yeah that's the thing they're like let me guess you want to be in here to be like mommy
like no i want a stethoscope i want to diagnose mr bean they're like that's not what we do and
i'm like he has dyspraxia i would watch like a very serious movie about a doctor trying to cure
mr bean that's genius that may already exist there's a 50 chance it's very sad i think what
what would happen is like then the doctor would like become gradually like mr bean sure that's
interesting that's good flowers for mr bean if we can just get our hands on this ip i think we're
really gonna come out we could just buy it from rowan atkinson we think we can kind of carry on
your work yeah okay well um this next segment i feel like is a is a good choice for britney
because britney you've you've worked in child care before uh you've been a teacher yes and uh
This is our, I couldn't find the right sound for this.
This is the querenting segment where we ask parenting questions.
That's enough.
That's the parenting sound.
What is that?
That's enough.
It's a man saying that's enough, which is something parents do.
Is it like a specific man?
No, it's just I Googled that's enough and then I found the sound.
That's great.
Like a kid acting up on the bus or in a theme park or in a restaurant.
My head went to, like, the Sopranos.
For some reason, I thought it was Tony Soprano being like,
that's enough.
He has to treat his coworkers like children because they won't behave.
Yeah, parenting makes me think of saying that's enough.
Do you find that to be the case?
Yeah.
Okay, good.
Okay, let's read this question.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
This is Quarantine.
If a baby is taken to a restaurant and won't stop crying,
is it okay, if you're comfortable doing so,
to hand them off to your waitress and let her hold and babysit them
while you eat sent in by cody what the hell wait is it okay to give them to the waitress yeah yeah
the baby won't stop crying so like you gotta go to the waitress and be like just you take care of
our baby just for five minutes just hold this not even i think for like 20 minutes i guess if you
tip well give mama a break what i mean they gotta still be able to go do waitress stuff that's crazy
i can't imagine wait what so you're saying it's not okay to do that um
i'm trying to like even imagine what if the mother is a doctor and needs to
cure mr bean yeah this is like wait that's actually so true and then she would need both
hands yeah it's all coming together in that case from one brooklyn to the next two quaras
because i think what we're agreeing here is that it is unacceptable unless there are specific
situations that arise absolutely unacceptable but then i also like what if it's like you know
one of those like riddles where it's like well then the dad is the it's like maybe the waitress
is the mother is mr bean's doctor yeah exactly dear quora what gets wetter as you try it
what crawls in the morning uh stands on two feet in the afternoon and four in the evening oh i got
So the baby, what if the waitress, it's acceptable if the waitress is wearing, like, one of those baby slings.
Sure, yeah.
If they have their own gear.
If you bring that to the restaurant, that's kind of on you.
Yeah, literally to the table.
Oh, another exception, if it's a themed restaurant where the waitress is going to hold your baby.
That's an interesting idea for a restaurant.
Yeah.
We could open that.
We have the most exploited workers in the world.
yeah after you buy quora yeah then you open up this restaurant sure actually there's a restaurant
in tokyo that's like called normally it's like and it's like a kind of like a bistro like cafe
and it's normally called chanoma which means like tea room and then in the daytime it switches to
chanomama like and it becomes like you can bring your little kids they can run around that's cool
but it's like a different menu it goes from tea room to mom room yeah or the other way around or
I guess technically your way if you think about
the next morning so it's like yeah it's just
like
they kind of like have special hours for it to be
and that's pretty much what we're asking
yeah so I think you know it could be okay
but then in a Denny's it may be seen as rude
yeah
okay well I think you could get away with it
like a rainforest cafe I bet they would
be okay with it just because they're
completely broken yeah by the time
that you sit down yeah because they're surrounded by
a fake elephant screaming all
day it feels like in
the rainforest cafe there's like an automaton like gorilla that can hold a baby yeah yes machines
that hold the baby also a good idea get the robots to do it we're getting together a lot of ideas for
new restaurants yeah but i'm not i think only because we're united on the fact that it is on
it is not okay sure to do this okay well what are the rude what do the comments say uh wait staff
don't have time for this kind of bullshit we are the parent and it is up to you to look after your
child get a doggy bag and go home with your child and stop bothering waitstaff because you think you
are there you're built-in babysitter hey not and they would get fired from their jobs if they did
anything like this time for you to grow up and actually become a real parent oh my god
that was very rude to the to the question asker in a way we all everyone's dunking on the question
asker one person says oh i see you're confusing two entirely different titles one is waitstaff
who was hired by the restaurant
and the other is Nanny
who was hired by you.
Nanny.
That sounded like Nanny.
Yeah, that's what I heard.
What was that word?
What was the yellow box?
It was Nanny.
Like.
You speak Japanese.
You understand what it is.
Oh, what?
I was thinking.
How do you know
I said Sopranos earlier?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But you know how in like
Italian people call them
like Nona or whatever?
I thought someone was, like, saying some nickname for grandma in, like, Italian.
Oh, and Nani's like, what?
You went right to Italy for that one.
All of our sounds are Italian.
It's the Metal Gear Solid clip where he goes to Italy.
Oh, so you put in the word what because it's, like, fitting because it's like, oh.
Yeah, it's just a good sound.
It's a great sound.
I kind of see myself as, like, the Rick Rubin of this podcast much of the time.
I don't know if that is, but I really agree.
he's a famous producer he made like the beastie boys and stuff oh yeah shout out to rick can you
produce fusion i mean brooklyn to brooklyn to brooklyn it's gonna be a stretch you're probably
gonna end up with me doing it i'm gonna be doing a lot of work on this i got a fuck ton of money
it's okay uh i'm trying to find a single person who's saying yes about this but i can't someone
says no one is yes anding the give your waitress a baby question come on people are like how dare
not one no no no let's do a thought experiment together and then a rude thing um better to still
handle the chef i want to read the thought experiment you are holding a screaming baby
in a nice restaurant the server approaches takes your order and delivers your food promptly
your child is still screaming your wife begins to eat because she's diabetic and has to eat soon
you could go on holding the baby but your meal is expensive and it's going cold do you ask the
male waiter to hold your baby while you eat is your answer in other words based on sex stereotypes
oh my god people who serve food have nothing to do but meet your needs i didn't even see i did
not consider the wife had diabetes the misogynist angle of this that was not there for me this
person needs a hobby or a job that was like a lot of analysis yeah well they'd shut this
quora user down a peg yeah there's a lot of answers that are just like how dare you so we
have to assume no correct we have to assume no it is not okay no sorry i'm sorry to interrupt you
yeah it's unacceptable okay so we agree then
what did the what did the pink box say it's an objection i got 24 of these
we got that's enough i got the national anthem
I don't know when that's going to come up
but it could at any moment
those are three times already I could have used that
I think play the national anthem
my 17 year old son
slapped and punched me
because I wouldn't get him a Galaxy S21
because he already has an S10
what do I do about him
send him to the military
yeah that's a good idea
get rid of him
give him to the waitresses of life
now i don't know one is considering does maybe this is there a chance
that the child is right in this situation um yeah that their phone in like a life or death
scenario sure is not appropriate and so you might have to resort to force i think i have an s21
a galaxy yeah how is it if i had an s10 i'd slap so i was about to say would you slap and then
punch your father if it seemed like he was about to downgrade you um all the responses to this are
like send your child to jail which i really enjoy this is the first one says call the police and
report the incidents that is on the record he will probably spend a night in jail tell him when he
turns 18 he will be out the front door on his own if he wants the latest the greatest cell phone
after he pays for his own rent his own car his own insurance and his own food maybe he won't be
such a selfish ass maybe the best thing that ever happened to him you can also you can also him that
if he touches you again,
he'll be spending some more time in jail.
One year after posting this,
I never thought I'd get so many views.
Then he goes on to be like,
I see I may have gone over the line.
But what's so good about this
is it goes from
you are right to discipline the child,
which everybody is saying,
to disown your child.
There is no way forward with them.
Put him in prison for assaulting you.
They've got phone mania.
You ever punch your dad?
You ever punch your dad?
I'm sorry?
Are we asking her or me?
Either of you.
Either of you ever punched your parents?
I don't think I have.
No.
I went to go...
I have a vivid memory of this,
and I feel really bad about it.
When I was like...
That's a great start, but...
Look into the camera.
When I was six years old or so,
I don't remember exactly how old.
I thought it would be funny.
I think because I saw some joker on TV doing this.
Maybe it was Mr. Bean.
Maybe it was some hooligan
where my dad was tucking my brother into a top bunk
and I was on the bottom bunk.
And I saw him and I said, I'm going to go, I'm going to punch him in the butt like they do in Looney Tunes.
I was like, wouldn't it be funny to punch him in the butt?
But it wasn't his butt because it was his front and not his back.
So I just like punched him in the dick for no reason.
And he got very flustered and left the room.
And I just think about all the time, just like that was really uncalled for when I did that.
That was not okay.
That's so funny because I think punching a butt is like really silly and like wholesome kind of.
Yeah, yeah.
Just like that's my butt.
sure don't this was your dad his actual cock you just walked up to your dad and just rocked him
in the dick it's probably like fist height too right oh it was a great shot i went right for
it and there was a strong reaction of just like oh that's like something out of an adam sandler
movie right yeah my kid won't stop hitting me in the dick that would happen to like david spade
at grown-ups three or something yeah yeah these kids don't respect me i'm always getting punched
in the dick um my sister slapped me once because i was in college and i she was she's younger and i
like she had some expensive jeans that she really liked and she was in high school
and i didn't know that they were hers so i like while i was home from college cut them i made
them to shorts and she got mad her eyes like you know that would drive me crazy yeah and she's a
huge power play me and i got the my mom called me you know my full name like middle name like
one of those things yeah but i really didn't mean to yeah yeah yeah exactly yeah that's funny you
do not cut your sister's pants what kind of power trip are you on yeah yeah but sister i mean i
haven't come down siblings hurting each other is very normal yeah and if i were gonna if i was
gonna punch my dad it would be like like the understanding like this will change our dynamic
forever after this sure he may send me to jail and then disown me and cora would agree he's right
i feel like my family i never like hit my parents or anything like that but my little sister
will just tell my parents like go fuck themselves all the time really and i feel like a lot of people
don't have that kind of thing where like yeah i don't have that my sister like would just be like
fuck you to like my parents like in high school wow yeah that makes me uncomfortable like far
away from i know right yeah just like looking over my shoulder like i hope they don't get mad
about i know right i don't know if that's like a long island jewish thing or what but i feel like
I mean, Mad TV race rules.
That's like the white child.
It's always like, fuck you, mom.
I want a skateboard.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
It's like, I don't think that...
Wait, I cannot hear myself.
Oh, yeah.
It's my fault.
My knees are too...
We'll get the guest chair closer.
No worries.
Mine is so taut.
I'm like, every time I lean back, I'm just like...
We're still figuring the system out.
You got it?
Yeah, I got it.
Okay, cool.
I think that he should go volunteer in a community garden.
Sure, the kid.
Yeah.
There should be some level of punishment
because that is a wild choice.
Yeah.
Again, the fact that this happened
makes me think there is more of a context for it.
And the fact is, if your child is punching you,
either they're wildly out of line
or it's just an abusive home
where you punch them all the time.
Sure.
So they are punching you back.
You should get them an S8.
Downgrade them.
That's right.
S4 punching.
Galaxy S7.
You're going to be sending SMS texts.
Punch me again, you'll get a Nokia.
Yeah.
Let us keep going.
You're going to be doing your tweets via data.
You better learn to enjoy snake.
I love snake.
Everyone enjoys snake.
That'd be a hell of a question.
Fair enough.
Okay.
Well, we've done some great parenting on this.
It's time to move on.
Yeah, I'm ready to have a kid.
Yeah, I think I'm ready.
I answered my last two questions,
which is can I give babies to waitresses
and what do I do when my adult child punches me?
I want to slam that button for our segment on religion.
Corbidden fruit.
real theology question uh this one was sent in by cody my aggressively buddhist neighbor set out a
buddha statue in his front yard and my kids see it every day if i put a cross necklace around the
statue's neck without damaging it can i be held liable i think i put this one in there just because
i really like the uh phrase aggressively right that really caught my interest because it feels
like uh more like juxtaposition of like yeah they're peaceful and like not really practicing
dogma yeah a confrontation he has a buddha statue in his own yard it's in his front well it's
aggressively buddhist jeremy it's like telling you you will die and be reborn it's a buddhist
giving like a middle finger yeah there are aggressively buddhist sin isn't real he was
meditating at me too hard yeah um i do like the idea of putting the cross on it i think that is
kind of another fusion collab which we are introducing and it's a kind of like the coexist
bumper sticker um and it's i feel like the the buddhist guy is not gonna hate that i think he's
kind of like he's elevated beyond that he's like right sure i mean if you're mad about that you're
not living the buddhist lifestyle it's not like you're like defacing it per se i love that this
person's afraid of like their kid getting into buddhism like wow i don't want my kids to be so
chill yeah i don't want my kids to have like perspective yeah i don't want to come home and
smell incense in the house yeah um what's the there's like the big buddhist idea about like
impermanence like having peace with the fact that everything changes and like that's right
the constant that can be aggressive in its own way
yeah what is this new thing you're doing where you make a snake noise i don't remember you doing
this before i don't know but it feels pretty good it's pretty cool i i um it's kind of like
i'm practicing whistling but you have to work now it's not really the moment i guess i keep
thinking it's gonna be the beginning of the word so but then it's just like i think i think it's
like how like truly in this moment and not before like ever again it's helping me process my
decisions like some people like tap a pen or something yeah yeah yeah that's just like my
little method for the moment helps you touch back into reality yeah so like maybe wait so
there's something about impermanence and this question like the buddha statue also how big is
the buddha how big is it is it a daibutsu is it a daibutsu is it a 40 foot tall buddha because
that is aggressively that is aggressively buddhist i live next to a buddhist temple and its aggressive
statue is too much for my child um frake odin atheist person who has 666 on his comment here
it comes every year at christmas my aggressively christian neighbors put out a nativity scene right
where my kids have to see it every day plus they light it up at night do you think it would be okay
if i go onto their property and put a pentagram necklace on the baby jesus hey without damaging
it of course his name is odin his last name is odin yeah it's like a norse god this is like
he's like a lot of layers this might be that's right he's lying for clout he's like i'm thor
he wants us to think he's odin one eye i think it might be real he lives in denver he's an actor
director writer composer lyricist therapist coach and person well that sounds really real i hate
this man i know everything about him sounds it sounds like he's a morning routine jeremy that's
a strong word you hate frank odin he's just trying to bring some rationality to he's just a person
um he studied psychology and behavioral neuroscience at university of colorado he
sounds very learned he's he only answers questions about atheism he's like a quora
one of those he's there to knock this guy down a peg for his his buddhist hate yeah well i think
it would be okay because it's a nice way to bond with your neighbor sure sure people should talk
to their neighbors more.
That's what I think.
By defacing their property.
By defacing their property
and messing with their decorations.
Yeah, their religious symbolism.
They just put like Easter bunny ears.
And then you have to explain it
and you're just like,
that's for my son.
I don't want my kid to see your Buddha.
I don't want to see nipples.
Yeah, it's a shirtless man.
Buddha,
does the Buddha statue have nipples?
I don't know.
Buddha statue.
you he sometimes got it up yeah he's got nipples i feel like i've seen it sometimes they're covered
by like a robe the ones with nipples and he has bound he has bountiful breasts he does in a way
because he's supposed to be the whole thing is like look how fat my man is he's so fat off
enlightenment yeah he's like even though he's quite thin he's actually hilariously gordo
so gordo call me lizzie mcguire i don't know what any of this means i'm a i'm a buddha in my
everyday attire um brooklyn to brooklyn yeah i was gonna say that's okay yeah are you enjoying
looking at these are you looking at his tits he's just looking at different buddhas he's going
through like a hundred of them i'm just i don't know absent-mindedly going through
Everyone pay attention for a minute
Okay let's do the next one
Okay forbidden knowledge
Okay cool
Welcome to forbidden knowledge
So this is
This is not actually in forbidden knowledge
But forbidden knowledge for those who don't know
Is an actual Quora community
Where they I guess
Give forbidden knowledge
They probe into the unknown
Do you have to pay for it?
No
So this is knowledge that you shouldn't know,
but it's for free on Quora of all places.
It's not on Quora Plus.
The government doesn't want you to know about these ghosts.
Yeah, so if it's a question about ghosts,
we usually put it here,
or any kind of paranormal thing is,
I feel that's all forbidden,
even if it's not on Quora.
I agree.
Is it like adultery, or like, yeah, like government?
No, it's all ghost stuff.
It's like the guy,
on Twitter there was a thing recently,
or TikTok,
where someone claimed to have seen a giant or whatever.
It's like that kind of stuff.
Oh, right.
did you guys see that that would be forbidden if there was a whole thing you mean you've seen a
giant okay there was a tiktok i feel bad talking about it because i feel like it's people have been
talking about this so much lately but it's like this is just catching your friend up with the
news there was there was a big thing on tiktok and twitter where this guy claimed that he found
a giant video footage of a giant okay and it was just like a mountain and he died with like a big
tower and then he claimed to have died and then everyone's like well why did the government kill
him if not because he found
a giant but then he posted again and was like I'm actually
not dead I'm totally fine and everyone's like
that's so obvious that he's just saying
he's fine because the government's making him do
that he went on TikTok saying
oops I'm dead now and
he didn't post for a while and people were like he's
dead and then he posted again and was like
I'm actually fine everyone's like he seemed like
he was I am not dead and there is
no giant yes and he signed
not the government right
people are like the government's making him say that
there's a giant there's not a giant it was so
I don't know about controlled opposition in the giant field.
I mean,
that just feels like something out of Chernobyl or something like.
It reminds me of Alex's standup joke where about like,
what would the government have to gain from hiding a giant?
Right.
Like why would they do that?
What would be to access their strengths for their own ends?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like either it's like they're developing a giant as like a weapon.
If you knew there was an agricultural sector underground controlled only by
the federal government,
that's all giants using their big muscles to generate power to create weapons and create
everyday products to like boost the economy would you feel okay going about your day or would you
rise up i think if there was such a thing as giants that the government was using them
to like super powered men to like do things they would have been like in afghanistan immediately
2003 like we would know about it this is the plot of attack on titan
i cannot stop thinking i have not seen it so or a giant it's like let's say like you know
like monsanto like what if they've been mass producing a kind of corn sure that's used for
different products right yeah and then like the effects either like radiation from this like corn
production or something about the process or the product itself made somebody a giant
and then they were like hiding this giant okay so it's not like it's it's uh science not
mythological it's not like a fantasy beast well you guys were talking about giants i don't know
maybe just science and giants game of thrones person but in my head i think that they were
i think they were implying that it was like a secret race of giants giants but i don't know
that i don't know if that's what the actual implication no i'm just getting to your question
about why would they hide a giant yeah like you guys are like i would like to reiterate this is
not the quora question we have not read the quora i've not gotten to it yet we're just talking about
this is just the news oh yeah this is the day-to-day update of the podcast
giant i think the quora theory is a good one they'll do whatever they need for your compliance
they keep you underground so they can find the sound okay brooklyn to brooklyn
britney's app is the snake noise
that's really what she's bringing to the album we need that new snake sound um okay this is a
question uh yeah yeah yes thank you for affirming my reference yeah we were like like parcel dog
okay i'm sorry here's the question what would ghosts be the only living organisms to survive
a nuclear war interesting now the word living is interesting there it's gonna pop out to you
on account of ghosts famously being by definition well ghosts pops out first and then living pops
out second ghosts are popping out to say boom that much is clear living contextualizes the
ghosts in a way that
pops out yeah because
by the they're dead
they're dead is why
yeah they they're
not emotionally oh
that's true it doesn't
that's not what that
means though Casper
it's not what it means
Casper is dead he's
living he's thriving he
died of that cold and
that's the that's why
he died he plays in the
back it's at the end of
the movie he plays in
the backyard he gets a
gold and he dies and
he stays at the house
and he meets the girl
I have not seen Casper
I think since I was a
baby and it shows it
does show i watch casper every night to stay up up to date on that would truly be disturbing
speaking of oh that guy eats too much dust if someone was like i watch casper every night sure
i'd be like oh that's not okay so wait let's get a check-in uh guy who eats a spoonful of dust
uh guy who watches casper every night or mr bean what is the order it's more fucked crazy people
i think the i think the spoonful of dust maybe but actually i don't know if that's how i feel
i just kind of said that you said it and i was like yeah i think mr bean does crazier stuff than
that no i think it'd be mr bean okay you think the casper thing is it's like weird but it's
like a disney adult or something night this every night thing every it's a trauma response i mean
it's weird but there's nothing wrong with it my friend dust if you eat dust every night i think
you're gonna get sick if my 17 year old son watched casper every night i would send him to
prison to teach him a lesson yeah punch him in the mouth yeah all right can we focus on this
question please would ghosts be the only organisms to survive living get rid of living in general but
like roaches famously we say are gonna live through everything right cockroaches yeah because
they're so right so they're so sturdy and having sex with each other that's not why though it's
It's like they're strong.
They're strong.
I thought it was because they give birth so much
that they could mutate fast.
That's not how I understood it,
but that's a fair argument.
That's what I always thought it was,
but I'm not a smart person,
so don't take my word for it.
Rabbits mate fast,
but no one's saying rabbits are going to be okay.
I thought it was a combination.
I think their resistance to radiation is high.
All right.
Because they're just little...
Because they're little guys.
They're just little guys.
They're small beans.
that's so true they're just little guys
and they have the
they're made out of bean
they're Mr. Bean
they're the Mr. Bean of the
Anthropog community
yeah I thought it was like
you know there's that thing about how apparently they've
evolved to not even care that much about raid
anymore like they just like evolve really fast
that's insane that's terrifying
that is really scary
I'm going to say ghosts
are definitely not it chief
and also
pause. And how are you as a man
a ghost in a nuclear war?
I mean, if you believe in ghosts, you have to imagine that
everyone's going to become a ghost. That's great
for the ghost industry. Right. If there's a nuclear
war. What's the industry?
Just that they're out.
Just that they're hanging out, scaring people
like in Monsters, Inc. Big ghost. Yeah, good point.
Scaring the roaches.
Yeah, they need to like distribute
the right ghost for the right
occasion. Yes.
Yes.
um so i would say no it wouldn't be ghosts it would be cockroaches yeah i mean or all sorts
of other stuff yeah first one ghosts are not living organisms got them rats got nailed it
okay can i tell you something i'm stressed out because i feel like with every question it's like
we got to find the right answer but actually that we don't have to no we often don't most of these
questions do not even have a right answer i know the answer to this one is no the answer to this
one is just that question doesn't make sense you wrote the question wrong is the answer i feel like
oh one of these starts with allegedly since ghosts are not proven to exist the qualification
for being a ghost is being dead your honor is thus inherently invalid your honor the ghosts
are not alive i'll allow it okay this is a good answer gramsie lindsey says ghosts only live in
the consciousness of some humans and without the humans there there would be no ghosts thank you
for the question.
Mic drop.
I've never heard of a good
thank you for the question.
Also, shout out to this new
setup where we can both
read the computer.
It's very good.
Big fan of that.
Also, I really like
thanking them for the question.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
What was your previous setup?
Our whole podcast
is about their questions.
We were in the kitchen before.
So you couldn't
sit next to each other?
No.
We weren't next to each other.
Jeremy was at the computer
and then I was kind of
blocking the guests,
which is why we're in here now.
Also, it's kind of nicer.
And you guys now feel connected.
You feel Brooklyn to Brooklyn.
Yeah, we feel very
Brooklyn to Brooklyn.
Well, I feel like Broken to Broken is kind of our thing,
but Jeremy and I are.
I have one rap verse.
Jeremy is a feature on the radio.
It's not well-received.
There is an edited version that plays on the radio.
Without it, right.
And like, yes.
It's exploring another continent now.
Okay, yeah, let's do another one.
Okay, this is our last question on the list.
Does that work for us?
Yeah, I think that's about right.
oh yeah big time definitely about right okay i really disagree okay this is in core romance
core romance is our segment where we answer relationship questions and questions about love
and everything everything about the heart on core.com this is about this is from sam binder
the question is my husband likes that i have gotten fit and toned after losing 50 pounds but
i want to be single what the fuck okay oh no that's not the whole question okay yeah that's
the short version okay okay it's actually worse when you read the whole thing cool but i want to
be single and focus on enjoying life now should i stay married or file for divorce we don't be
uh we don't we both don't waste each other's time okay so this is a woman who's lost 50 pounds and
is looking great and she's like time to leave my husband yeah i'm gonna i'm gonna spoil the
answers a little bit they're all furious divorced men really yeah who are wishing a hex on this
My wife of 18 years just did this to me two months ago.
Yeah, yeah.
They're all like that.
Oh, that's worse.
But let's answer the question first.
So she's lost 50 pounds and is already looking to commit adultery
as a time that she gets a divorce.
And the answer to that, I think, is a clear yes.
Yeah, I mean, yeah.
I mean, if that's how you're phrasing the question.
You don't want to stick around.
Take it from us, two married men.
Here's the thing, though, is she might be overestimating her odds out there.
That's fine.
She might not be knocking it out of the park.
but she needs to get brought down then right yeah i think like even if she doesn't love her husband
if you're like i got hot now i want to get a divorce you should get a divorce yeah if you're
not in love i do not love my husband and i want to leave but also i'm looking to get slammed while
i'm out there uh yeah you should still leave i'm not even blaming her or the husband i'm just saying
like she doesn't like him that much that's good it always comes down to that it always comes down
to are you just into like how are you that into it right besides the fact that this question is
definitely fake and written by a man i think that this woman should leave uh yeah i mean just yeah
this fake woman says i want to now focus on enjoying life you're not enjoying life right so
also like yeah that's the thing like 50 pounds is a lot of pounds too so i don't know if it's
like that is a lot of pounds because my first thing was like why is this woman like what about
her friends like yeah why isn't she asking her friends well quora is her friend yeah which makes
me feel like it's a man it's it's almost certainly almost certainly a man looking to get some woman
hating going in the chat but that's like every reddit relationship advice question yeah oh i saw
one cheating on my so m24 i saw one reddit relationship advice question the other day
that was like i'm a girl who loves giving blowjobs so much should i like ask my friend
if i can just give him blowjobs for free every day right and it's just like you're a 14 year
boy you are no chance that you are a real person lurker here holy smokes i gotta say yes to that
um that sounds epic for me what's your address what are you guys doing what am i what are we
doing what's that voice uh reddit voice is the voice is what it sounds like when you're on reddit
like just a guy on reddit do you think that's what they sound like on reddit
mine sounded a little like the halo announcer at the end i'll admit i guess i never
thought about it but i buy it yeah what's your voice for the reddit people
higher yeah higher i mean there are children yeah you should give your friend blowjobs no i'm
thinking like an idea of you yeah sure you youth comes to mind but i mean like a 24 year old who
like doesn't have a very masculine voice and that's why he's mad at women yeah okay post a
it in the chat queen yeah that's better that's not now we're talking surprise dm me your feet
first of all go off and then it didn't no one is saying that to this question by the way no no
it's just uncontested rage all the way down although this has a hundred or a thousand up
votes up chorus so the top one has too many of course that means it's too well thought out we
gotta we gotta go down and read some of these lower level ones um get a divorce divorce but
don't take his stuff is the second
stuff he deserves to keep it and deserve
someone better. This is a huge betrayal and
says a lot about how I can't believe you do that
to my friend, your husband
who is a real guy.
My imaginary friend who you are married
to. Wow, I cannot
stand people like you for richer or poorer
sickness and health fat to fucking skinny.
Everybody wants a divorce for
the dumbest shit. Damn.
I don't know. This is a good reason for a divorce, though.
it sounds like the relationship is bad you don't like each other i'm very caught up in this
completely fictional situation my brother had a wife like you that's from bruce jerk water
wow she didn't do anything to help him manage the house kids or vehicles this is a robot you do
nothing to manage my vehicles she lost 60 pounds divorced him after an affair he cried for months
every morning after i let him move you know what fuck that guy this guy sounds terrible i hate
bruce's brother and she didn't care for my vehicles um my honda was a mess he found a
fantastic woman who he married there's a true partner and could be happier his ex tried to
come crawling back later crying because she didn't have anyone to take care of her anymore
be a real shame if this happened to you i think this actually is also made up real i think this
is fake as well yeah this is like a poetry jam or something this is two sad men making up women
for each other like they're in an improv class that can be kind of fun and if that's the case
then eventually the two men might fall in love yeah that would be great that sounds really nice
actually everyone's taking that angle on the thread um what does enjoying life even mean
that's a good question that's so funny it just gets broadly existential i'm trying to find
anything different anybody who says yes or just anything even different from like my wife left me
and now i want to kill myself yeah girl go off and get yours like no one i would like that now
you gotta eat honey how old is this can we type that in there how old it's a few years old i think
whatever yeah three years old is the top comment most questions on quora get no answers but then
if you're like i'm a woman who hates men it's like okay well first of all you suck and also
my brother had a wife once well this is a good segue into what we're doing today and that and
that is writing our own that's true yeah okay questions to ask quora so starting with the idea
that we are going to make up a fake woman that is what is our question we're making up a fake woman
yeah at the end of the podcast we ask a quora question right to see what results we get um okay
so we're going to do that to farm engagement we're going to yeah you want to do like a fake
we're gonna make up a nasty lady and people will love that you now you are your name is alex
bataki of a picture of a man as your photo yes so i guess we should be from the perspective of a man
right okay so okay it's a little harder that way unfortunately my wife of uh 10 years left me
after seeing uh the um i want to say like some kind of motorcycle parade um is there like a
motorcycle parade people recognize motor rough rider rough the rough ride my my wife left me
to pursue the sons of anarchy oh yeah right right maybe it should be like my life my wife left me
after 10 years um because i spent too much time on quora i spend too much time answering questions
on quora i want to try to like really meta yeah we don't want to we don't want to be meta we want
to touch hearts okay like the sons of anarchy do okay so she's leaving me for a son of anarchy my
wife watches sons of anarchy all the time now she's telling me she wants a divorce to find
someone more like perfect and then we'll find the guy from sons of anarchy sons of anarchy
what what uh what is inspiring this angle for you um well it's um from a place of creation
because as a fiction writer myself i i have to create a world i mean the motorcycle aspect
specifically i think that will trigger something for guys who feel like they are being uh out out
alpha because it's an alpha by a cool yeah it's undoubtedly very alpha to have a motorcycle
because they you don't have seat belts on that thing so this is what i've written so far i'm
sorry i do not have a motorcycle then uh my wife of 10 years watches sons of anarchy all the time
now she wants a divorce to meet a hot motorcycle rider for herself should i let her do this that
is a great way to phrase it okay cool jeremy that's a great quora question make sure to tag
all the boxes divorce wives marriage and and if any listeners want to answer please use the phrase
scrambled eggs so that we know that you are coming from a place of bias because i want to know whether
to let her go yeah okay cool and that's going to be quarators for this week
