Because his name is Jean Reno. This is the kind of things you say on your fifth podcast. Don't you think he might as well be Jay Leno for French people? Omar Sy has hair. Every single person on this list has hair. Why are none of them bald?
Starting point is 00:02:05 Why are none of them bald? Thank you for inviting me on a podcast where you guys look at a laptop I can't see. it's really fun embarrassing thing i just we all disconnected my mic because i'm so you disconnected the power oh sorry hello we're starting welcome to core readers a show where no one thinks french people are bald or has ever done any any generalizations about what french people are like in their entire lives i feel like you're really chastened by this i'm so sorry i'm down to do French stereotypes. They just have to be accurate. We're here in hour five of
Starting point is 00:02:42 recording. Now we're going to dance to the song. Hey. Hello. How's it going? It's Quarators, the podcast where we record our questions and say that they're dumb. I'm Jeremy. This is Alex. What the fuck is up? It's Quora. It's Quora.
Starting point is 00:03:10 It's Quora. What's up? Who are you pointing at? I'm pointing at the camera. There's a camera behind you. There's a lot of cameras. It's a YouTube podcast. We're doing something that no one's ever done before,
Starting point is 00:03:21 which is we're reading things on the internet and we're putting it on YouTube. We're the only ones that do it. And the only podcast that's a video that gets chopped up and put on TikTok. We put it into clips. We invented it. And so Jeremy keeps telling me,
Starting point is 00:03:34 I got to keep my feet out of the camera. yeah because those are for the premium feet thank you alex doesn't get it he's like gonna come to them he's like people won't mind seeing my feet i'm like no they won't that is the problem they can be paying us money for that i recently i uh posted a picture on instagram that included my feet and i was very upset by the number of comments that were like i can't believe you're giving these away like i didn't there's a website she's just giving them away i'm on the website You're on WikiFeet? I'm on WikiFeet.
Starting point is 00:04:04 I'm so jealous. Yeah, I think it's WikiFeet. I'd love to be on there. I'm either, it's either WikiFeet or like Foot Finder or something. Uh-huh. Sure. What is your entry from? Kath Barbadoro.
Starting point is 00:04:15 By the way, Kath Barbadoro from What A Time To Be On There. Also, we have a live show on August 5th. Kath Barbadoro from WikiFeet. Wait. Hold on to that. We're going to have the feet thing and then we'll do that. I missed what he said. Every single episode, we've been like, we have to announce we have a live show at the
Starting point is 00:04:30 beginning of the episode. And then at the end of every episode, we're like, we talked too much about feet for 45 minutes. We fucked it again. August 5th. Yeah. August 5th. Saturday.
Starting point is 00:04:41 Caveat. New York City. Caveat bar and grill. In the Lower East Side. Will we, we have a show like the same, the night before. The night before. Okay. I thought you were going to say the same night.
Starting point is 00:04:53 I was like, you're fucking on this. I don't want to like blow up your spot. You got to catch up on the paid protest text. We might be going to another city the night before your live show. Yeah. All right. Well, I won't go then. Because I'm doing the quarter's live show.
Starting point is 00:05:09 I didn't want to go to Chicago anyway. Yeah, man. I like casseroles. We've been talking about this for like a week. Oh, we booked this like a month ago. No, I know. But you've been in the... This is not interesting for a podcast.
Starting point is 00:05:22 Listen, the important thing here is that Kath is on a website that catalogs celebrities' feet. It's true. And that means you're a celebrity. Yeah, I think so. That's what it means. How did they find your feet? I mean, I guess because I put them on Instagram. And then everyone was like, why did you put your feet on Instagram?
Starting point is 00:05:38 You know what always freaks me out is when people call them puppies. Oh, yeah, the dogs? Don't like it. Well, they're like, why did you show those puppies? And I'm like, this is just so weird. Yeah, I'm barking for these dogs. I think these dogs are barking is okay. I like that.
Starting point is 00:05:53 That's not bad. Well, because sometimes you look down at your foot and you're like, these are hounds. Sure. because okay you know what i think i'm realizing it's just the ratification of it where it's like dogs fine hounds fine puppies a little weird if you start saying like show those rare puppers yeah that's unacceptable nice doggos hold on someone added my recent feet picture to my wiki that rocks um unfortunately i only have three out of five stars wow average review crushing there are so many pictures of my feet on here i had no idea this is a podcast about the internet including
Starting point is 00:06:33 a picture of my foot when i broke it which is wow well that's gonna damage your score that's perverted that's an interesting fetish yeah that's like putting jeremy jeremy renner on uh like hot or not based on his car crash picture that's like that's like when people have like pregnant fetishes where it's like i can only get into the feet if they're broken you know it's like i need a specific kind yeah i don't there's something like vaguely misogynist about liking broken feet i feel like i don't like it i feel like liking feet is totally harmless because of foot binding just because it's violent it's like something bad happened to someone yeah and you like that it's just not good and historically when bad things happen it's men damaging women i should
Starting point is 00:07:12 specify because this is a podcast that goes onto the internet i am not comparing being pregnant with having something that is broken. Thumbs up. Remember to like and subscribe. I need to find... Live show, August 5th. I need to... We're going to play the...
Starting point is 00:07:30 I'm keeping the French part in. I know it's going to take me a lot longer to edit, but I'm doing it. Fifth podcast. I need... Okay, so my feet have 28 votes and five people voted ugly and I need to find them.
Starting point is 00:07:45 they vote on it it's like why are you on my page looking at my feet if you think they're ugly no offense but i don't think your feet hit the like fucking algorithm of wiki feet like these people are seeking you out right they're giving you negative these are haters these are people who even have a real opinion on your feet these are just fucking you can't listen to the haters absolutely not wait i have an important question and we will talk about quora at some point by the By the way, Kath is our first recurring guest, so she has a very special role on the show now. Thank you for having me again.
Starting point is 00:08:16 There's going to be a bronze statue of her somewhere. This time, this is a huge upgrade because the last time we did this podcast, I didn't know we were on video and I was wearing straight up pajamas. And Alex wasn't even in the video. He didn't make it in. Well, the camera fell down is what happened. We've all come a long way. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:34 And that clip went viral somehow. It's like the only one. Yeah. It went viral and all I say in it is like, uh-huh. Yeah. No, it's all Eli. It's all Eli. And it was so nice of Eli to have me on his podcast.
Starting point is 00:08:45 And Alex says El-Mao in it, which I thought was a joke, and then he revealed it's just how he thinks people say L-M-A-O. Is that not how you say it? It's certainly not. I don't think you ever say it. Like, why are you saying it? I think if you're going to say it, it's going to be L-M-A-O. There's a band.
Starting point is 00:09:00 There's L-M-F-A-O, the band. No one says, like, El-M-F-A-O. Well, none that you know of. L-M-F-A-O. We got to ask the uncle-nephew community how to pronounce that. Because that's the thing about LMFAO, they're uncles. That's the facts. One of them's an uncle.
Starting point is 00:09:18 That's really cool for them. If one person in your band is an uncle, you're an uncle band. That's like the Nazi thing where it's like you see a table with 10 people. One of them is an uncle. That's 10 uncles. That's 10 uncles. Everyone at that table is an uncle for sitting quietly. I prefer to think of them as a nephew band.
Starting point is 00:09:35 Sure, whatever it is. You see the hope in the future. Which, like, most bands with a guy in them are probably nephew bands. Yeah. Statistically, a lot of them. I don't think there's a lot of nephews in a band. Are you a nephew? Yeah, I am a nephew.
Starting point is 00:09:47 See? Most people are nephews. This is a nephew podcast. Yeah, it is. I guess I just don't think of myself in that identity role. I'm a son, I'm a husband, and I'm a nephew. You don't ever get nephew on the gravestone. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:58 That's not one that comes up a lot. That's when you're really digging into the bottom. Beloved nephew. Someone wasn't having a good relationship with his immediate family. Yeah. I'm thinking, what roles do I play? I'm a bitch. I'm a sinner.
Starting point is 00:10:12 Nephew's like 10th in line. Yeah, it's really close to the bottom. Producer Waffles has decided this is an important update for the listeners. He has decided not to sit in the Pelican case today. Yeah, he's walked out. He hasn't been on camera in some time. He was in, I think, the last one. Was that the bonus one?
Starting point is 00:10:30 Well, I was told my camera was full body, so he might be in. are my feet on no no no no we'll crop it no no don't let the haters see anyway kath uh you know the deal with this show we read chorus read me some chorus and we go what the hell and so that's what we're doing and as this is the fifth podcast we've recorded in two days you're getting the best ones yeah that's for sure i'm getting the beloved nephew of quora just bottom of the barrel absolutely i think waffles should pick one oh before we yeah he's in there before we get into the course we have to read our quora from last week which was uh two hours ago but does have answers we checked and that question was and you guys thought this
Starting point is 00:11:16 wouldn't get answers i am 15 years old my mom says i will never be happy is that true question ask her here i am jewish if that matters that was a good caveat to add honestly that is context for the mom saying that yeah i feel like that is a very like jewish mother outlook i don't know that story i don't i didn't live that story that's not your willing to listen also waffles good job waffles is killing it this episode if you're watching if you're not watching the youtube right now missing out run the fucking question who knows where that will be because waffles is in the question spot right now all right let's slam it um so what are we slamming the answers Reading answers.
Starting point is 00:11:56 Len says, why is she saying that to a 15-year-old? Can she predict the future? Sounds like you're going to be mighty happy when you no longer have to live under her. I am sick of living under her. Thank you. Thank you, Len. Upo, love your music. Yes.
Starting point is 00:12:11 Why is your mom trying to steal your sunshine? And then Autumn Gill says, happiness is subjective for each person is something else. Your mom does sound very unsupportive, probably because she has her own issues and she is unhappy herself. maybe even depressed try and help her but you will be happy just have to work for it now no one has commented on the jewish angle of it no no one has no one's touching that one are there like uh quite answers that need improvement because sometimes they hide additional ones and they say these aren't seven answers collapsed yep yep yeah that rocks i thank you so much for bringing that up so this is two hours ago we got 10 answers amy says only as true as you let it be
Starting point is 00:12:54 James says, no, unless she can predict the future, I would brush this one off. Two people said that? That's insane. Gil McQueen, who's a former diplomat, says, no, please also consider the fact that your mother may be an idiot. Oh, my God. Shots fired at my mother. Peter Claus, who I assume is related to Santa Claus, says, if you keep coming here for answers to questions like that, then she is right. We only have one person on mother's side.
Starting point is 00:13:21 Quora is a website of the damned. If you're asking questions on there, you are not happy. Going to court is like summoning a demon. Which we will never do on this show. We will never summon one. Alex won't let me summon a demon. It's against the will of the Lord. Kat, do you believe in demons?
Starting point is 00:13:37 Do you think if we summoned a demon that a real demon would show up? Because this is an actual debate that we're having. Notice the pause. I just feel like if you put an ask out for a demon, it depends how busy they are. If they've got other podcasts they're doing. like they might they they might get you for joe rogan or something you know i can't even book a fucking human on this podcast let me tell you the thing is i i mean like i understand good horror movie premise is yes people can't get a podcast guest so they summon a demon that would
Starting point is 00:14:09 be a great real life situation on account of i want to do it i don't you are underestimating the folly of man i i saw this movie once that was like a covid movie that's like a zoom chat where they summon a demon and then they're all killed over Zoom which is like I saw a movie once where a guy got stuck
Starting point is 00:14:27 on Mars okay well I mean there's all kinds of movies but my point is that if you summon a demon on a podcast even though you're just
Starting point is 00:14:36 playing around think of the pros and cons the pros are like ha funny podcast guests cons are you're killed by a demon
Starting point is 00:14:43 and they rape your soul for eternity probably not even that funny so they would probably just be us saying Steven stuff and then being like all right that was it that was all it took i guess that's all we get for a demon well good
Starting point is 00:14:58 because we're not doing it because i don't play like that yeah you're a good catholic boy you can't summon a demon i want to do it so badly it's not worth the risk jeremy you risk our very soul yeah anyway thank you for answering these questions and if you have to answer one of our questions in the future remember to write the words scrambled eggs and that way we know you're a scrambler or one of the loyal Quora listeners. Thank you. Also, thank you. We have a great playlist for
Starting point is 00:15:27 Kat today. These are all bangers start to finish. First segment, Quora Romance. It's our romance and dating segment about dating and romance. Have you ever found a real sweetie and met them under the mistletoe?
Starting point is 00:15:44 This segment's for you. This is a Christmas-themed segment. Alright, that's the end of that. And you don't just have to kiss people on Christmas. This is from Crying to Radiohead, who sent this in on Discord. Is it okay for me to cheat as long as the guy is better looking than my husband? Yes.
Starting point is 00:16:00 Yes. Not only okay, it's encouraged. Jeremy? What? Yes or no? Yes, I said not only is it okay, it's encouraged. Okay. As long as he's better looking than your husband, it does open up the thing. Is it not okay if they're not better looking than your husband? I mean, no.
Starting point is 00:16:15 That's the thing. Would you rather If someone is going to cheat on you Would you rather they be uglier than you Or hotter than you Uglier I would like them to be uglier Yeah
Starting point is 00:16:27 Well I want to have something to like Hey on the plus side You're better looking than At least you're better looking than that guy Yeah but then it's like He's a troll What am I lacking If it's like a person hotter than me
Starting point is 00:16:39 It's just like Well they're hotter than me Like that's what it is Nothing I can do about that I'm assuming it's my cruel personality That drove my lover away Right into the arms of an uggo the endless slings and arrows of my verbal abuse day after day
Starting point is 00:16:53 yeah i don't know i don't know what the answer is i i do think i mean i guess i think about it of like somebody i've dated if they like get with someone who's like because i you'd rather you be better looking than the bat now maybe this is a corny fucking 2009 ass question to ask but what if they were funnier than you oh what is that is it like a more successful comedian years i don't know i'm just i sound like i feel like i'm like pete holmes right now but like is that the thing if they're more successful podcasters oh yeah if you care if if uh if um you can't even think yeah i'm the most successful who's probably also a more successful podcaster than me Mark Dormant?
Starting point is 00:17:38 Does he have podcasts? Yeah, he's a lot more successful than us. Well, there you go. He's doing quite well. I know he's doing... Hey, shout out to Mark, by the way. You've never done anything wrong, and I've never looked into it. Anyway.
Starting point is 00:17:51 Wake. Yeah, I wouldn't like it that if they were funnier either. I just want to be better all around. I think I would be upset if they were funnier than me. I wouldn't necessarily be upset if they were more successful than me. Because those are two separate things. funny or subjective i i have coped with my position in life by assuming everyone more successful than me is a nightmare yeah it's like a bad person and that's the only way they could
Starting point is 00:18:17 have gotten more successful so tired as if they're bad they've taken the things they've taken the the road that i chose not to right exactly exactly exactly i could do that anyone if you have one more patron on patreon than me you have sold your soul yeah exactly yeah i could have had that if i I was queen bitch at my family barbecue. Exactly. Yeah, that's right. And also everyone less successful than me is a dumb failure. It's just not as talented.
Starting point is 00:18:46 They're not as funny. They didn't do it as smart as I did. That's right. It is kind of interesting how that works. Anyway, if you cheat on me, there will be punishment. And it will be swift. I think the conclusion is none of us would enjoy being cheated on. No, I'd be like, pause on that.
Starting point is 00:19:05 I don't think I used that expression right. No, it means you're gay. No hobo. It literally means no hobo. But I mean it like pause, like reconsider your cruel actions. You just need like a video. Yeah, pause the video because my feelings are hurting. Pause the video because it's gay pornography.
Starting point is 00:19:22 Pause the gay pornography before the sex and notice the two close friends. Just you guys building a deck together. That's what that is. That's enough of this question. I don't really want to read all the answers. Okay. I mean, I don't know. They didn't seem very interesting to me.
Starting point is 00:19:38 Okay. I'll take your word for it. Should a husband protect his wife from danger or let her do as her own wish as she is a woman and anything a man can do, a woman can also do? I feel like this question has an agenda. It feels like there's a story at the beginning of it. You've scared waffles. Sorry, waffles. Yeah, but anything a man can do, a woman can do also.
Starting point is 00:20:02 So should a husband protect his wife from danger? What kind of danger are we talking about? The first thing I think of is ninja warrior, and I don't think that's what they mean. I was imagining like men allow women to participate in ninja warrior, and I say yes, yes, yes. I'm imagining a guy who's going on a mission, right? He's been called by the government to save the president's daughter or something, and he's like, I'm going to go to some vaguely foreign country to fight the terrorists. And his wife's like, I'm going to go with you. Yeah, me too.
Starting point is 00:20:30 I'm going to. No, I'm protecting you from danger. And she's like, a woman can do anything. A woman can do. And just because I'm not a spy doesn't mean I won't go on spy missions. I feel like. Take me on your business trip. I feel like I'm imagining someone like breaks into your house.
Starting point is 00:20:46 Okay. And then the wife is like, wake up. There's someone in the house. And the husband is like, you're already awake. Why are you waking me up? Go deal with this. Yeah. A woman can do anything a man can do.
Starting point is 00:20:59 That's so true. Yeah. Yeah, it seems passive-aggressive the way it's written. It's like evil feminism to be like, you deal with that. It's the dark art of feminism. Women can do whatever a man can do. Right, right.
Starting point is 00:21:10 Get killed. I don't think about danger. When I think about when am I abusing my female privilege that the MRAs are talking about, and Alex will know about this because he's had to deal with it. Uh-oh. Men lift heavy boxes when I'm moving. I don't have to do that.
Starting point is 00:21:27 that's like the one thing sure that uh alex helped me move and i made him carry all the heavy stuff we also went in my prius yeah moving in a prius truly the new york city experience that's a new york experience um it's dangerous so i'm so like i feel like danger i don't really think about it it does make me think of like cross my mind yeah like uh i don't feel very in danger most of the time selective service for young men is the first thing i think of where Is it a draft or whatever? Should women be drafted? Yeah, should women be drafted?
Starting point is 00:21:57 A thing we don't really do anymore. Right. No one should be drafted. I think only husbands should be drafted. Because they have something to fight for. Yeah, exactly. That's right, a lady back home. Something to die for.
Starting point is 00:22:10 And it gives the women some time to serve for themselves. That's also true. If you let these bachelors abroad in the war zone, they're going to kill their way to all the puss on the other side and then just drop their weapons where they stand. That's true. Anyway, the response to this immediately, their best example of it is Jill Biden. And there's a photo of her tackling a woman.
Starting point is 00:22:36 And I just really wanted to include that on the park. Why is Jill Biden tackling a woman? He says, should a wife protect her husband from danger? Of course. When you're married to someone, part of your job is to protect them. It doesn't matter if you're male or female. This is my all-time favorite picture of U.S. First Lady Jill Biden. so he's got a few i want to know what the second favorite and third favorite pictures of joe biden
Starting point is 00:22:55 are she's gone full poor mama bear protecting her husband what from what she perceives as a physical threat and then in this picture if you're listening to the podcast joe biden looks very afraid yeah and there is a college student uh with a sign with a sign that's probably like joe biden sucks and she's like being shoved out of frame without it like destroying everything oh yeah that's dope good for jill biden i also like that picture good for jill i mean i do think i'm saying like husband protect wife yes wife also protect husband she protects she attacks exactly that's that's good that's good and that's what you want a mama bear first lady mama bear the rest of it isn't really funny i think jill biden should be drafted i like the term uh when he goes
Starting point is 00:23:39 um wives are adults you know in most cases this is true yeah if that's not true we're working toward it being all cases but unfortunately not quite we're not there yet you know people call me a misogynist for this but i think joe biden should become president if joe biden dies that would be it should be joe biden that would be really weird i would not like that oh man i'd I love the live cam of Kamala finding out Jill's president. Should we even have a vice president? Or should the spouse of the president be the vice president automatically? Jeremy, we're getting into succession now.
Starting point is 00:24:19 We're getting into succession territory. Is that? The succession of kings. Oh, sure. Oh, okay, okay, okay. The succession of the realm. I think that should be a rule. I think that should be a rule as well.
Starting point is 00:24:30 Okay. I'm fine with it. New rule. New rule. New rule. Wives are president. Only if they're adults. Bill Barr should do that.
Starting point is 00:24:38 He should bring that one up. New rule. If you're married to the president, you're the vice president. Okay? Bow. And his audience is just like, why? Why, Bill? I don't follow you there.
Starting point is 00:24:52 Can you talk about trans people again? Why don't you take down the Muslim threat? All right. I'm trying to see if there's any good. Okay, here we go. Okay. What is the danger? Many years ago, my wife and I were taking a walk in our neighborhood.
Starting point is 00:25:07 I walk faster, so she would jog on ahead of me, and I'd catch up to her. That's insane. She was running ahead of me when two dogs came running out of their yard, growling and barking. I pulled out my buck knife and charged the dogs. They turned, tailed, and ran. When there was physical danger, I charged in and defended her. Other than that, she has been quite capable of taking care of herself. And this is from a computer system administrator.
Starting point is 00:25:31 Michael James. In the fakest story I've heard in my entire life. Why does his wife run ahead? That feels real. It's too strange. Why would dogs run away from a knife? There's a lot of questions here. That is true.
Starting point is 00:25:43 A dog wouldn't know what that is. A dog does not recognize what a knife is. Those are military trained dogs. Those are high level operators. Dogs fear swords. Yeah. Dogs fear blades. Their natural fear of the blade.
Starting point is 00:25:55 The problem that most men face nowadays, that it's hard to tell that a woman want to, what to do hard to tell the woman what to do you can only give your opinion that is what's hard for men that's what's hard but this is from uh quora poster youtube he says unfortunately that's a great username unfortunately the boss of my wife has more right than me over my family unfortunately the boss of my wife is more right over me than my family i love quora ring that bell on this youtube yeah dude that is maybe this is the way to class consciousness it's so true solidarity with all husbands in a way husbands are in a press class we must free them that is true yeah alex and i are both husbands yeah you know how it is we're husbands
Starting point is 00:26:45 and we're workers we're here in the podcast minds we're working here on a loving home yeah i feel like you guys are uh running through uh one time i had to do a bunch of podcasts in a week and i uh took a picture of sisyphus pushing a rock up a hill and i just put podcasts on the rock nice podcast rock yeah yeah yeah that's how it is honestly you you finish podcasting and then you just have to podcast again the podcast rolls down the hill it's the hardest job we're braver than the troops. Podcasters are workers as are husbands.
Starting point is 00:27:22 Wow. This is so true. Oh, no. Hey, that's a premium sound. Yeah. You have a premium soundboard? Wow. There's a whole soundboard
Starting point is 00:27:32 back there. Just patreon.com slash cool raiders. The premium soundboard kind of rocks because a bunch of Discord users suggested the sounds

Starting point is 00:29:35 sound i'm bad jeremy learns how to use a macintosh computer every week on this program are you a pc guy yeah i'm a pc hi i'm a pc i'm uh fucking what's his name john hodge john hodgeman there you go welcome to quorum d these are your medical questions your anomalies your biological astronomy sorry i forgot your name john hodgeman Noted listener of Quarators. Sorry to John Hodgman for that. We got some great medical questions for you, Kath. Do I get to look at any rashes?
Starting point is 00:30:11 I hope so. This is similar to that. Post your rash on Quarator. This is a question for, I think, that we can all can answer. What would I feel if someone gently stroked my bare exposed ulnar nerve, sciatic nerve, and phrenic nerve? What is that? So, first of all, I'm going to say, don't know what nerves those are.
Starting point is 00:30:30 Did I say those words right? Don't know what nerves is. I know the sciatic one because people get sciatica from sitting on their wallets. That's a soft C for sure. Sciatica, one of my favorite movies. Jude Law. Yeah. Ethan Hawke.
Starting point is 00:30:44 Ethan Hawke. It's a good one. Can I teach you about biology a little bit? No, no, no, no, no. Yeah, so these are nerves, and if you touch them, you're thinking like, whoa, too much. Stimuli. Sciatic nerve is like, it looks like it's in your spine. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:01 It goes down your leg, I think. You know how when the dentist is playing around in your mouth a little bit, and then he gets to the part where you're like, ouch! That's why there's a phrase, touched a nerve. It feels like that. It feels like someone said something sensitive to you. I think ulnar nerve might be the funny bone. Okay.
Starting point is 00:31:20 Touched a nerve would be like if somebody, so if somebody touched your ulnar nerve, it would be like if they brought up the time that you didn't get an invite to prom or something. Right, exactly. Pretty much exactly. And then phrenic. Let's see what this one is.
Starting point is 00:31:32 What is the benefit for you looking this up? I want to know. There will be a quiz at the end of the podcast. Also, again, I assume I got some stuff wrong. If I got anything wrong, just shut the fuck up and don't tell me. I don't want to know. Do not contact us. I really could not give less of a shit.
Starting point is 00:31:46 Jeremy's a cool guy who's Googling the phrenic nerve right now. I do want to know what it is. Spinal nerves in the neck. It's important for breathing and the motor control. This is good for you to know for your martial arts. This is good for me to know as an important podcast host who's looking up the details of the questions
Starting point is 00:32:02 that he has to answer. Anyway, now that I know all these things, I'm going to say it probably feels really good. Gently stroke it. Stroke my nerves. Why is it like
Starting point is 00:32:10 horny for nerves? Yeah. This is a serial killer question for sure. This guy wants to touch some bare nerves. Yeah, that's for sure. There's like an early science
Starting point is 00:32:18 where you could only find biology by like cutting up cadavers and that kind of shit. Sure. They brought dead bodies into your high school biology class.
Starting point is 00:32:27 What if one were to stroke with a sciatic nerve. Would it look anything like a Philistine slain on the road? R.I.P. Cormac McCarthy. R.I.P. today, by the way. Yep. I know this is coming out
Starting point is 00:32:41 three weeks from now. In a hundred years. Yeah. John Topper says, no nerve is intended to be directly stimulated. There are several orders of magnitude too sensitive.
Starting point is 00:32:51 Touching any unprotected sensory nerve would be hideously painful. Hideously. There's really nothing to compare it to as different nerves carry different kinds of sensations. Some carry hot and cold, some carry pressure, some carry the sensation of vibrating. It would be whatever that nerve normally carries, but 10,000 times worse.
Starting point is 00:33:06 Touching a motor nerve would result in uncoordinated jerking movements. So you're kind of like a smack guy, huh, John Topper? You think you know more than me about the nerves? Well, I stroke the nerve. How do you like them apples? How do you like them apples? Also, John Topper is a great fictional gay porn name. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:28 If you don't have a mustache, you're making a huge mistake. Anyway, most people are just saying it's going to be extremely painful and you'll be sad. People are saying don't. Don't do it. Don't do it. Leave those nerves alone. All right. This is a question that I think we can answer.
Starting point is 00:33:40 Kath is going to be good for this one. Is it possible to be dyslexic and have PTSD? Why am I good for this one? Kath is going to be good for this one because she's intersectional. She knows about communities. um i probably know right how could you possibly yeah well you wouldn't be able to remember the letters right yeah you could maybe have like do it be like stp or whatever i've never told anyone this before but i have pdst wait no no oh i'm thinking of the clown again
Starting point is 00:34:16 yeah that's that's tough you got both of those that's tough to have both You just have to like write it on your hand Yeah like memento But then you try to read it It wouldn't be useful to you at the same time That's a good question Could you be dyslexic and have memento disease You're reading all this shit
Starting point is 00:34:37 You're like I don't know what this fucking says And it's backwards too Maybe that helps that it's backwards So you don't have to look in the mirror That's like the next generation of Christopher Nolan film Dyslexic memento Mementom just a like a hot guy looking at himself in the mirror being like what the fuck are these
Starting point is 00:34:56 what is this squiggles you have dyslexia i know i didn't write it um anyway all the answers just say yes i don't know what to tell you a lot of people are like i have both as a matter of fact if you have dyslexia you probably do have ptsd because of all the fucking letters you read wrong because people are probably really shitty to you when you're in school honestly and this is someone who has a kind of heart of a gentle lion but there's nothing funnier than to me than dyslexia it's my favorite thing when someone is like did anybody order any posse i meant pizza i'm like ha well we're learning alex is a bully classic bully for this one thing i think it's funny
Starting point is 00:35:45 every time this is gonna be the fucking funniest reason to get canceled i line up line me up for push me off the cliff i feel like they're like my thing like that that it's like i know there's this is indefensible but it is the funniest thing in the world to me is when someone is just like pointlessly when an adult is like unnecessarily mean to a child yeah that's always pretty good like that video of somebody just like playing basketball with a toddler and like crossing on them and then the toddler falls over like the funniest the funniest thing ever it's yeah it's bad it's i shouldn't like it there's that it's always sunny sketch where they have uh charlie and mac fight like eight children and they're slamming them in the car it's so good it's funny
Starting point is 00:36:29 every time it's so funny good stuff that's too bad anyway now that that's probably all getting cut out so you guys don't get canceled no none of us we've never cut anything we don't do any editing. I barely know how to use Adobe Premiere. This is going to be our most edited podcast ever because Alex has to get the two minutes from the beginning where we talked about French people being bald. To make two multi-game files. Oh my god.
Starting point is 00:36:52 What a nightmare. Alright, that's all the Quora MDs. On to 5 Quo, our police segment. 5 Quo? This is a fake siren. You're not being pulled over. I know we've been playing it a lot lately, but it's not real. It's not real.
Starting point is 00:37:08 Just don't listen to this in the car anymore. On my podcast, we had to ban our producer from doing car horns. Sure. I haven't done the car crash in a while. People got mad about that one, too. It went on really long. It's like a five-minute sound effect. It's like a pile-up.
Starting point is 00:37:25 It really is. It's like 30 cars. Yeah, you can imagine. Is it still on there? Yeah, I think so. Don't play it. We don't even have to listen to it. I'm just saying it's interesting that you have it.
Starting point is 00:37:34 I like that it starts with a bowling strike. That's when the car accident starts. I just like that you have it on you at all times just in case you have to pull it out. I keep that fang on me. Concealed carry, but for a sound effect. Anyway, speaking of guns. Five quo. If eight heavily armed gang members try to break into your house, what gun do you use to defend yourself?
Starting point is 00:37:55 Gunny. I'm using, first of all, I'm using that fang. That fang. And I keep it on me. Mine is probably, so I don't have a gun yet, so I get to choose which one I have. I probably have one of those really big pistols with a six-shooter revolver on it. That's like a magnum of a desert eagle that I keep on me all the time. Because I think those kind of show marksmanship in addition to firepower,
Starting point is 00:38:20 and that's what gets respect from your murder victims. I think I'll go shotgun. I think shotgun, I don't know anything about guns. I know literally nothing about them, but I think shotgun's probably the only gun that you're allowed to go like, yee-haw, while you shoot. It's kind of cool. Yeah, you can yell.
Starting point is 00:38:33 You're either a cowboy or you're like Bruce Campbell. I think it's like Ice Cube with a shotgun. But at the same time, too. I could do one-liners the most with that. Yeah. Shotgun, best gun for, like, I'm a guy who doesn't know how to shoot guns because they just, like, annihilate everything in front of you. It's like a cannonball. I feel like I would.
Starting point is 00:38:52 That's the best way to explain shotguns to me, by the way. It's like a pirate ship's cannonball. But then they're just using shrapnel to fire out of the cannon. I feel like, well, first of all, of course, I would simply try to talk it out. That would be number one. Eight heavily armed gang members. And you're like, fellas, fellas! Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:14 Why are these eight heavily armed gang members breaking in? What do they want from me? They're here for waffles! Why are they all together? They're best friends. I'm making my wife do it because, you know what? Women can do anything that men can do. They're allowed to risk themselves.
Starting point is 00:39:30 I think I would like, I feel like if I had to have a gun, and I would definitely get one of those cool little pearl-handled pistols. Sure, yeah. You know? Those are sick. Waffles, you're going to disconnect my mic. Waffles is disconnecting Kath's headphones. There we go.
Starting point is 00:39:42 Producer Waffles deciding that you don't need to hear. He's so jealous. He's so jealous that we're getting so much clout today. We're clouded. It's all our guns we use. Our big WikiFeed guest. Yeah, you're going to, I can't, I'm sorry I got so distracted by that, but I didn't realize people were updating it.
Starting point is 00:40:00 Like, literally, I put a picture up on Instagram, like, three days ago, and it was, like, number eight in a slide, and it is on WikiFeet already. Like, I don't know what's going on. Anyway. Somebody's watching. Someone is watching. It's like Santa Claus. I'm starting to understand why all the comments were like, I can't believe you're posting your feet. I didn't realize.
Starting point is 00:40:22 Yeah. Anyway. There's eight gang members. I'm going to show them my feet. You're explaining this to the gang members? I'm showing them my feet. I'm going to be like, surely these are worth something. Is this what you're looking for?
Starting point is 00:40:33 What gang is it? MS13. Okay. It's like a really big good one. One of the best gangs. It's a high profile gang. It's like getting into an Ivy League school. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:43 Oh, my God. I was accepted into MS13. Did you hear about Damien? Damien got into MS13 this year. I'm not sure if he's going into that or Crips. That's my son's wait list gang. His safety gang. Also, yours was like five at this point.
Starting point is 00:41:00 we gotta start early you gotta get in with them early if you wanna be about that life you gotta start early so the thread is mostly people just sharing their interesting guns which we will probably not share with you at home it's not really that interesting one of them has like
Starting point is 00:41:15 the symphony of death or whatever it's called the gun with like 10 barrels on it it's like the one they used to kill the Japanese president last year the knock gun that's cool nine barrel gun
Starting point is 00:41:30 people who like get on Quora and write about the guns they like this is like the adult version of like a little kid being like and my gun it shoots the lasers at the bad guys and it has three lasers
Starting point is 00:41:47 I would use Mega Man's gun the buster I would use the Mega Man's buster I would use Zero's sword waffles you are causing so much trouble this episode waffles oh my god third episode of the day waffles has a lot of opinions get in here you love a little bun um yeah there's not really anything worth reading on this yeah just because it's just people it's just photos of guns and every time we talk about when alex has to find the picture later that's fine it's wrong look at
Starting point is 00:42:18 this one no don't talk about it okay oh here's a good one oh so this one has been like viral on twitter it got emailed to me it got emailed to some of our listeners the question is i'm facing 30 years to life in federal prison should i take some clothes to prison is this allowed or will i have to wear prison uniform during the entire sentence now there's an answer that's worth reading here but i'm curious what you guys think uh open open uh i think the answer is no well i just want to say from my experience i haven't done a life sentence so i can't say i'm imagining I'm guessing many Quora respondents have done time. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:57 I think most of them are in prison right now. Yeah. Using the library computer. Yeah. You got to wear the orange jumpsuit, right? I think you got to wear the orange jumpsuit. Yeah. I feel like maybe for a special occasion, they let you put clothes on.
Starting point is 00:43:09 Sure. Casual Friday at the prison. You get to wear the blue one. Casual. Sometimes you get to wear the blue one. Like, if you did a good job. If you have good behavior, they let you wear a neutral color. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:19 Ooh. Ooh. You're looking slimming today in your black jumper. Your vertical stripes. If you're bad, they make you dress like the Hamburglar. Yeah, right. That's how you can tell the really dangerous prisoners. Because the old ones, the old style uniforms were black and white horizontal stripes, right?
Starting point is 00:43:36 Yeah. And those are not slimming. Those are not slimming. They want to make you wide so they can see you if you escape. That's kind of a punishment. As a prisoner, too, you want to look wide because you want to be as big and powerful as you can. They should bring the hats back. Yeah, they should bring the hats back.
Starting point is 00:43:50 Those rocked. And they keep the sun out of your face. Yeah. They're a little like, they weren't even like, they didn't have a brim. Although I feel like it would be interminable to be forced to wear a hat when you don't want to. Put it on the hat. That is like the worst. That's true.
Starting point is 00:44:04 Hey, perp, put it on. Waffles is like basking. He's so cute. So happy. Waffles, thoughts on this? Waffles, Waffles is kind of prison colored, got to say. Yeah. Well, it's not.
Starting point is 00:44:18 There's brown in there. he's not prison don't call my cat prison colored all right let's read this answer from daryl smith who's a senior software developer at cisco company why would you dox yourself on fucking quora i don't know i always feel bad that we're doxing people but i love doing it it's so funny they put their name out there as always i could click this bad thing and i can see where he lives you gotta read the answer you gotta read the answer all right uh he studied at mit by the way you should run seriously don't ever drive a car again move to a logging camp somewhere and just do hard labor for cash don't even think about letting yourself go away for that long no matter what you did run
Starting point is 00:44:58 son throw away everything break your nose keep your hair dyed at all times etc also check out something called buzz humble because i might as well use that there's posts posts clout to advertise it so what is buzz humble run from the federal police check out buzz humble check out that's the thing like it is especially crazy to dox yourself well encouraged it's like this is like lamb the when you have a viral tweet and you say like check out my soundcloud like this guy had a viral fucking quora answer where you tell someone to run from the authorities and it's like check out my business it's called buzz check out buzz humble check out cisco software uh every day is a blessing through god all things are possible by these vibrators yeah break your nose so that
Starting point is 00:45:42 you're unrecognizable from the police. Also, these lights really change the way your room looks. Yeah. If you move to Alaska, every citizen is a criminal, so it can't be a crime to live there. That's true. That's why they have darkness for half the year. It's also where they do all of the logging, so it's kind of
Starting point is 00:45:58 the perfect idea. That's true. Break your nose sounds tough. They do that in movies, right? Yeah. That's what, like, Taton did. Taton? The fucking French movie. Oh, my God. Smarty pants over here. Well, you gotta do what a... You've got to do what that Mexican drug cartel guy did where he went in to get plastic surgery and then he died from complications getting plastic surgery.
Starting point is 00:46:24 Are you talking about face-off? I'm not, but I'm talking about the first half of face-off. Should we think about what Buzz Humble is? I don't really want to advertise this guy's company. Yeah, we already said the name of it a lot. We already said check it out. I assume it's for bees to date. if you get on buzz humble and you give this guy money and he rips you off you're sunk he's running
Starting point is 00:46:46 away yeah look for a guy with dyed hair and a broken nose and ask him go logging company to logging company until you find daryl smith i recognize you from your quora picture does he have a photo he has his arm in here uh yep but that's all it takes for me to track you down yeah oh cool he's a landlord that's not even a joke his most recent answer from 15 hours ago I was talking about his worst tenant in Hawaii. I never would have seen this coming. He is a fucking Hawaiian landlord. And the founder of Buzz Humble?
Starting point is 00:47:20 What can't this guy do? Anyway. And ladies, he's divorced. I'm assuming. I'm assuming. Everyone on Quora is a divorced ex-convict. And they're also a cop and a troop. He has answered so many questions about what is considered cheating.
Starting point is 00:47:40 Yeah, that's a divorced guy. This is a divorced guy who lives in Hawaii and is trying to be funny online. We haven't found any cops with ghosts for a while. That was all we were getting for a bit. Cops and ghosts? Yeah, cops who were like, they told me not to do paperwork, but I saw it. I can't arrest this ghost. Finally, someone I can't kill.
Starting point is 00:48:02 This is the politics segment. This is called the quiz course. Quiz course. oh this is gonna be a problem because guess what the next segment is shit fuck that's okay we'll just play it again we'll play the song again uh so these this is like the debates of the day political stuff hot topics it'll feel like it touched a nerve reading this these chorus and and i'm glad that we fucked up our uh sound our audio thing because this one definitely had to be in there was nowhere else i could go i almost put it in the doctor one the question is how
Starting point is 00:48:36 do you fight someone who is on pcp uh see the thing is when you're on pcp you're pretty much an ape which means they'll rip off your fingers and eyelids that's i feel like this is a like dare a dare scenario like you don't go like fucking super saiyan when you have pcp you're still just a guy no you you can save your baby from a car that's adrenaline as if you're a mother well if you're smoking pcp it's a great way to like activate that if you're like having trouble inspiring yourself every time you hear about that it's a woman on pcp yeah all these moms on pcp it's like maybe that's how the baby got under the car in the first place yes there i was throwing around my car yeah i was playing catch with it because i'm on pcb and it's like really light
Starting point is 00:49:29 I'm doing She-Hulk to the car. Yeah, it is sort of a thing of like, I don't want to victim blame, but how did your baby get under that car before you lifted it off your baby? This is affecting your WikiFeet score. How are you flipping it like it's a warthog in your Master Chief? Yeah, but I feel like if you're listening at home, do not fight someone on PCP. Fight somebody on PCP by just like flashing a light in their direction. That's a good idea. Don't be confused.
Starting point is 00:49:59 Like they're a cat and you have a laser pointer? Yeah. Same way you would subdue a cat. You grab them by the scruff of the neck and you stuff them in a carrier. Because their mothers did that when they were young. Yeah, it'll paralyze them. Is PCB the same as having rabies? Are you afraid of water?
Starting point is 00:50:13 No. Okay, never mind. No, I don't think so. That was a joke. That was another one of my funny jokes. I was just like, I don't think that's true. Yeah, I'm glad I got that one in. Well, we better read the answers.
Starting point is 00:50:25 Yeah, what are the strategies that Quarrel people have come up with here? Let me get into the answers here. There's eight of them. As if they're a ferocious animal, consider them devoid of reason and fear and without the ability to feel pain and pray that they are incapable of fighting like a human who's experienced and or trained. An animal may not intend lethal harm. An attack may be a display of dominance, as in those of other primates. Flight may be possible if there is an initial attack and withdrawal.
Starting point is 00:50:50 Can I just pause and say, as if they are an ape? which is the first thing i said i think you're correct um like an this guy doesn't have an answer he just says like don't do it yeah don't do it they'll rip off your eyelids they'll rip off your fingers i don't think pcp makes people like it makes them want to kill it turns them into donkey kong unfortunately they smash barrels at you i don't know i just i mean i've never done it i just can't imagine it makes people go into a murderous rage. We've got to take a weekend.
Starting point is 00:51:25 I'll do PCP. Come back here. See if we rip each other's arms off. See who can throw the most cars. We're going to play bocce, but with SUVs. It's going to be an expensive weekend.
Starting point is 00:51:42 I would say most people just agree with us that they're like, if you don't have a gun, you're dead. These men will kill you. They have no fear. They have no pain. There are eight of them, and they're breaking into your house. If someone is on PCP, they are nine feet tall. If you don't have water you can hide inside of, it's over for you. Yeah, they won't get in a pool.
Starting point is 00:52:05 Let's see. Oddly, I dealt with this question both practically and theoretically in role play many years ago. What does that mean? Practically in role play. I'll tell you what it means, because the next sentence says, so many of my little club lads also played D&D with me, which led to questions like, what do you do
Starting point is 00:52:21 with a zombie apocalypse, regenerating trolls, or weird stuff you're never likely to meet? You might as well have a Quora podcast, fucko. I hate this person. This means nothing. This means nothing. What do you do if someone with PCP wants to kill you? Well, I play Dungeons and Dragons. One time
Starting point is 00:52:37 I imagined that happening. Let me tell you what I imagined doing. My wizard has six cantrips that he can use to change the illusion and make colors different. If you thought it was bad defeating a human, imagine an orc. Shut up.
Starting point is 00:52:53 He literally says, depending on the weaponry I have, how to do this is different. Shut up, dude. You suck. You suck. Yeah, thumbs down. Thumbs down.
Starting point is 00:53:02 Quora down. I'm going to comment on it and say no. I'm airhorning how we're bawling on him. Don't bully him. It's my face and name. I don't know you're making me and he doesn't even
Starting point is 00:53:16 have dyslexia he might think it says on for me to bully him why'd this guy say on to me as in I was on one also these answers
Starting point is 00:53:28 were from like five years ago oh here's an answer someone says inject yourself with PCP and adrenaline there you go fight fire with fire
Starting point is 00:53:38 and die in the parking lot Boom. Easy. So fucking easy. And then another person says, shoot them in the head. Okay. There's pretty much zombies at that point. You gotta shoot them.
Starting point is 00:53:48 They have no redeeming qualities once they've been on PCP. If you do PCP, you deserve to get shot in the head, is what Cora thinks. That's what they say. You're already gone. All right. On to his quorical teachings. This is a different song. It's not the same one as the politics one.
Starting point is 00:54:02 And no one is upset about that. And what we can learn from it. Yeah. And specifically, apparently, the United States. often the united states so many times if neil armstrong was the first man on the moon who took his photograph is it another american bullshit story to mislead the world checkmate moon believers the second sentence really well the answer is obviously stanley kubrick yes took his picture you sure did and he had to do it in like 500 takes yeah yeah using only the natural light
Starting point is 00:54:35 from the earth yeah so you know does this guy think like buzz aldrin went in a second second rocket like well i think he's just like he was like be there in five meet me on the moon there's pictures of him like going down the stairs or whatever the guy is just like how is this possible who's in there who's in there this is another bullshit story isn't it yeah it is a bullshit american story to mislead the world is the other one 9-11 like what is the other american bullshit story one time i i can't remember i think it was on johnny appleseed isn't real i think it was on one time to be alive they we were talking about what what conspiracy theory do you kind of believe and i said that the moon landing was fake
Starting point is 00:55:19 and i got roasted into like there was a smoking crater left where i was standing crater a lot like the moon which we have never been to i like oh i didn't really believe it but i was like i could kind of see it i could see it being fake like there was the motivation was there sure but yeah i got destroyed maybe i'll play around on my comedy show no yeah yeah you won't exactly the big problem with any conspiracy theory for me is just how many people have to know about it like i just don't like if you tell one or two people a secret you're done if you imagine if you knew the moon landing was fake like i would have told so many people keeping that a fucking secret and you'd be like don't tell anyone exactly i would three drinks yeah and i'm telling everybody
Starting point is 00:56:08 in a loud voice at the bar watch 2001 a space odyssey one time and you're like yeah that guy could have faked the moon he could have he could have done it as fuck happened before the moon landing that's crazy it looks good if anyone could do it it was old stanley 2001 the space I would say before 1969. Yeah. That's nuts. I think so. I think it's 68 or something.
Starting point is 00:56:27 That is nuts. That's crazy. Yeah, it's not real. He made that up for clout? What's that? He made it up for clout? Unless you've made things. Stanley Kubrick made that up for clout.
Starting point is 00:56:37 I thought it came out in 2001. Yeah, it came out in 1968. Whoa. That's wild. It's fucking crazy. Yeah, I understand why you would think that. It looks better than modern space movies. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:47 It looks better than the footage of the moon. Yeah. That's the compelling argument against him faking it. The moon stuff in that movie looks extremely real. The monkeys, so obviously guys in suits. So fake. Which is so strange. People didn't mind doing that back then.
Starting point is 00:57:02 You'd think they would have mastered monkey makeup before they mastered space. Audiences in the 60s were more willing to play along with your monkey madness. I think that's true. They were like, we get they're supposed to be monkeys. It's a guy saying ooh, ooh, ah, ah, but I know what it is. I'm happy to see a moving picture. this is fine for me I'm in the dark and I'm eating this newfangled
Starting point is 00:57:23 popped corn I just used a microwave to heat food it's fine yeah apparently there's no pictures of Neil Armstrong on the moon this is the top comment he says what photograph you'll struggle to find a single
Starting point is 00:57:39 photograph of Neil Armstrong taken on the moon and there's a simple reason why for the Apollo 11 lunar services Neil Armstrong was the chief photographer so apparently there's a picture of Neil Armstrong with a camera so neil armstrong is the boyfriend following the instagram girlfriend around the moon yes there's a there's apparently like a reality show now that's like it's called like stars on mars and it's like celebs pretending they're in space or something but lance armstrong is on it and all
Starting point is 00:58:11 of the other celebrities are like he was the first man on the moon that rock yeah so like it's probably really dumb but that alone kind of makes it worth it that's cool that they're like he's probably gonna do really well because he was literally the government should have paid him more money so he didn't have to do this tv show he lost his testicle on the moon yeah that's where he left it yeah he's pretty much the oh wait wait i'm thinking of a different guy never mind no yeah he's a disgraced bicycle yeah because he cheated but then turned out everyone cheated I don't know what that was Lance Bass on that show
Starting point is 00:58:49 He's available He's a guy who wanted to go to space Yeah he did, did he end up not going? Is he in Dodgeball though? A true underdog story Lance Bass is also in Zoolander for a second Anyway Apparently the picture of the guy going down the stairs
Starting point is 00:59:04 Is Buzz Aldrin and the guy with the Flag is Buzz Aldrin It's all Buzz Aldrin Every one of them is Buzz Aldrin The guy going down the stairs photo does look like the instagram meme with the girlfriend in front um look at my cute girlfriend buzz aldrin apparently the only real picture of neil armstrong on the moon is the picture of buzz aldrin in the reflection of his uh man that sucks it sucks that they hadn't invented selfies yet
Starting point is 00:59:31 yeah that would be funny he did a selfie on the moon he should have so many likes for the moon well i wonder if anyone's done it before he someone could still be the first selfie on the moon i mean how many people like we're not sending people up there very much i think china was trying to go up there there's like competition over the moon but also nobody's supposed to compete on the moon we have like private people doing it now like elon's trying to go up there elon will take a selfie on the moon yeah like that will happen unfortunately so support the space force when you can because they are our best and brightest and they're going up there to take selfies NASA?
Starting point is 01:00:07 No, the Space Force. They're separate. They're part of the military. Yeah, but can we support NASA? Do we have to support the Space Force? NASA pretty much is a slush fund for SpaceX as far as... Unlike the Space Force. Are we still mad at NASA for having all those Nazi guys?
Starting point is 01:00:21 No. Was anyone ever mad at them for that? They got a great photo op. I think a few people were mad. Tore a few names off of buildings. Anyway. Yeah, that's the answer. Is that there's no...
Starting point is 01:00:34 It's fake. Okay, cool. The answer is that it's fake. All right, we got a really good last one. Okay. Is this the final Quora? Yeah, we're at an hour. All right, so this is one of my favorite questions I've found on Quora in a while
Starting point is 01:00:47 because a lot of the Quora questions are like, I pooped in my hand, is that bad? Or like something really stupid and you're like, how do you know it's fine? Whereas this implies the reader read a book at some point. Yeah, this is like an educated bad question, which I kind of like. It's like when you hear it, you might think like, oh, that's a smart question.
Starting point is 01:01:06 And then you think about the words and you're like, wait, what? And the question is, are German U-boats still trying to sink American merchant ships going to the UK? Or did that mostly end after World War II? That's awesome. That's really good. Did that mostly end after World War II? That kind of died out. We kind of stopped doing that, I guess.
Starting point is 01:01:27 The lingering Nazis at sea just like taking one or two down in the 60s. Is there any, like, further description of why he thinks that Germany is still hostile to the U.S.? No one told them the war ended. Yeah, they're still on those boats from almost 100 years ago. They're sticking shipments of Beatles records. Yeah, man, that is delightful. It's so dumb and so well read at the same time. It's, like, it's so good because it, like, it sort of implies that, like, military action is just, like, a cultural trend.
Starting point is 01:02:03 Like, remember when we were all doing that? Why did we stop doing that? It's like hair in the 80s. Look at those silly photos. We stopped wearing flared jeans and getting shot down by U-boats. Shooting down merchant ships going to the UK. That is probably, it's a huge problem where they're trying to undermine Amazon Prime. They're like, we can't do two-day shipping anymore.
Starting point is 01:02:27 We're shooting these down. Knock them down. We must break their resolve to wear bell-bottom jeans. Anyway, let's read some answers. Mathias Alden, who works at My Life from 2000 to present, says... I am curious how people begin to address this question right here. Yeah, there's a lot happening here. This guy's just mad.
Starting point is 01:02:51 He says, first of all, do you know when World War II ended? they would be going around in rust buckets at this point. And even if they were, they wouldn't stand a chance against such a modernized Navy. Leave the internet, get an education. That is a great explanation is they're not because our Navy is so good. Our Navy is,
Starting point is 01:03:08 our Navy is army strong. It's a global force for good. Now, this is a very powerful answer because this guy, Tom Bartlett has bolded his, which I've never seen. Whoa. Interesting.
Starting point is 01:03:19 My eye is drawn to it and he lives in the UK and apparently he was upvoted by bernard andrews whoever the fuck that is see bernard andrews i don't know why it specifies that um tom says with the advent of modern military technologies and long-range b2 bombers and the the u-boats are now less effective in 1986 when richard branson made the fastest transatlantic crossing u-boats attempting to attempted to sink the virgin atlantic challenger but it was too fast the reason for the continuing conflict is that nazi officers who escaped to argentina have not realize that the war ended 70 years ago i didn't realize richard branton had a u-boat phase i know he spent a lot of time in um hot air balloons we did a pod damn on that see the one who tried to
Starting point is 01:03:58 fuck a wolf or not a whale no that's um mcafee mcafee yeah and he died not whale related he died yeah he died or faked his death he was like when i die please make it seem like i faked my death because it'll be funny please i think that would rock i invented anti-virus software and by that i mean probably stole it from a guy what i like about this answer is that he's like no you idiot the war is not still going on in germany it's still going on in argentina yeah exactly that's where they went and they somehow didn't know the war ended that is like i am idiots fucking dumbass i uh uh i'm italian and not a lot of italian like my last name is really uncommon even in italy and uh i looked it up to see like where barbadoros live and it's like italy's the most then the u.s
Starting point is 01:04:55 and then argentina and i was like i hope i'm not related to those ones because i don't think they got there at the right time no they had to leave italy for reasons they can't get into i know that Europeans move to Argentina for non-Nazi reasons, but I'm always going to assume they're there for Nazi reasons. Yeah, I've yet to see it. I'm sorry. Oh, the beaches are great. I'm sure.
Starting point is 01:05:20 It's not that it's far away from the law. Not for extradition treaty reasons. I just love yerba mate. Yeah. Well, anyway, I learned a lot about you boats
Starting point is 01:05:36 today. And that's what this podcast is all about. I mean, if you want to learn about U-Boats, there are a lot of podcasts about it. Yeah, that's true. I like them so much they should call them Me-Boats. That's going to be the end of the show. That's a nice little button on it. We're not going to top that. That's the best thing I've ever said.
Starting point is 01:05:54 We have a question we want to ask for Quora.com. We've talked about a lot of things. We've talked about the moon. We've talked about feet. We've talked about I don't even know what else. Gang members, types of guns The moon That's a good question for us
Starting point is 01:06:13 Does the moon have What's the best kind of gun To have on the moon Could you shoot a gun on the moon What would happen Would it go slower Why would it go slower Because there's the gravity
Starting point is 01:06:27 The gravity doesn't speed up The bullet But like it does affect like gravity is acting on the bullet. It would land further away, I think. There's no atmosphere. It would go faster. I think we need to ask this.
Starting point is 01:06:40 If you shot a gun at Earth from the moon, would it eventually land? Would it eventually land on Earth? Could I eventually hit my enemies? Could it reach escape velocity? All right, type this up. We're going to wrap this thing up. Kath Barbadoro, first recurring guest on the show.
