it's crazy we didn't record quotes from 30 rock me saying i want to go to there she said this is the way she quoted 30 rock was really good yeah i'm feeling tina fey about it we're still not recording we are recording we're recording everything don't listen to him don't listen to him i quoted tina fey off mic dude was so funny too it was so funny you know what Everyone sit in silence for an hour and think about what they did. Oh. How about that for a podcast? Do you ever wish the kind of quirky music from 30 Rock followed you everywhere?

God. We're hitting copyright strikes so vaguely on YouTube right now. You're really overestimating our ability to sing the theme song for 30 Rock. The YouTube algorithm's like, don't know what that is. That's just sounds. It knows. it says you really have a gift we have a lot of music on this thing we could play it's like mash without the laugh track and it's like suddenly like way more dramatic i've done i

often wonder what the equivalent is for 30 i'm sure someone's done this where it's like 30 rock without the constant music underneath it but i'm sure it's different i bet yeah when when they do mash with the laugh track they're still pausing for laughs so that adds a real grave yeah ceremony to the entire... Yeah, just saying something and then waiting. Like a psychopath. That reminds me of Dick Van Dyke.

That's my favorite joke from MASH, by the way. Well, they're doing references to things, but it's old, so... Then they pause quietly. It's old, and then they make even older references. Right, right, right.

Well, that's what people knew about MASH. That's what the show's like. I've never seen it. Fuck you guys. You know what? You know what? Neither have I.

There's one person who's ever seen MASH. You've seen MASH? I've seen bits of Hatchimals. With the laughs? I've seen it with, that's the thing, I'm pretty sure in the UK

it was released without the laughs and in the US it was with the laughs. Strange. Don't trust us. That might be wrong, but I think that that's the version of the story that I was told because there is a readily available version

without the laughs. Is it because English people were generally against the war but Americans loved it? They thought it was funny in the US. Yeah, I guess it's just a way to be like, yeah, yeah, well that's the thing. Is it Korea?

Is it Korea? The show should have been called This Is Definitely Not Vietnam. But, you know, another show, Beverly Hillbillies. What is that like without the laugh track? Well, British people think it's very sad. The way that we live. Nobody's ever laughed in the UK. But they do put a little laughter into other things.

Like if you watch Come and See in the UK, they put a laugh track underneath it. What they do laugh at is weird. And the Flintstones without the laugh track. What is that like? I don't know. Just dinosaurs, I suppose. I'm going to start the show at some point.

Just working blue-collar dinosaurs. It's Quarators. Oh, no. Quarators. Oh, my God. It's a Diet Dr. Pepper. This is actually paying off really well. Tim, last week on our bonus episode, right before we recorded, Alex bought four cans of Diet Dr. Pepper.

Oh, wow. So now we're seeing them in action. Well, why did I do that? Why did I do it? That's the sequel to Urkel that we need. The answer was, I won't be interrupted to make a credit card minimum for $5. So I pretty much had a loaded gun against my head as I purchased beverages. That's how they get you.

The second I'm recording content, it's so funny the way I'm exploited by the neighborhood bodega for gallons of pop. Now, are you always a diet person when it comes to sodas, or is it just you? Yes. I was raised on diet soda, so it doesn't really taste different to me. And also, the regular sugar soda is like crazy, insanely bad for you. I don't want to hear about how the research chemicals are bad for you. Having 100 grams of sugar is so bad for you.

I met a British guy the other day, and he told me that in the UK. they don't have any laughter during mash no uh that they sorry uh that they call it they call regular they call regular coke full fat coke wow full fat which i don't like i feel like that's wrong and that's just for the coke it must be for others as well but they kept saying full fat coke oh i like the full fat coke ironically it's full of carbohydrates and not fats i agree ladies and Ladies, gentlemen, and gentlethems, it is the Quora Agents Podcast, America's premier Quora-based podcast.

Welcome back to the show. Gentlethems. Every week, we arrive. Very gentle non-binary people listening to this show. Let them cook. We arrive with another helping of Quora for you, the hungry consumer to take down and enjoy with a meal. Nom, nom.

All of our hosts are here today. We have Claire O'Kane and Jeremy Kaplowitz. Whoa, last name's Claire. And Alex Patak as well. If you're listening to the show from all the big guests we have, those are our last names. And we have a great other guest, too, who is here to promote his exciting new project, Judge Travis.

Live. Yeah. Did I say it wrong? You jerked into it. You didn't say his name. We're all waiting for it. Say his name. I was suddenly overcome with fear that I fucked him's show up.

You said the title of my podcast in a very racist way. Judge Travis. He thinks it's a Judge Dredd thing. He doesn't know. I love Judge Dredd. He takes justice into his own hands. But this is not that. This is a different thing,

and it's legendary comedian Tim Barnes. Tim? Hey, glad to be here. Tim, it's great to have you. Now, on the show... We'll add the clap track. If you're British, do not listen to this. A basic sound we should have on this board.

Clapping? We do not really have, per se. Tim, every week we go on Quora.com. Do you have any experience with this website? I do. I do. Yeah, yeah. Okay.

Who's that Pokemon? It's Quora.com. Yeah. So everyone is familiar with it. They can identify it from its visage on a advertisement break, similar to who's that Pokemon. Before we get into the topic of the show, we must do the very important Quoraider's weather report

to get your weather on and get you out through the day. Today. It's really sunny out. It's pretty much St. Patrick's Day, but it's not. It's nice. It's gray and hot. It's good out there. I'm wearing a sweater because that was all I needed.

No coat. So you're good without a coat. Again, if you're listening, no coat for you. Get out there. And that's it for the weather update on Corey Just Podcast. With no further ado, we will be exploring many topics today. All rigidly themed, one after the next. What's the theme of this episode, Alex?

The theme of this week is, in fact, nerd alert. We don't have an alert. That's a bong. I thought that was you drinking a regular doctor. Yes, that was Alex drinking Dr. Pepper. That's not what anyone drinking a Dr. Pepper sounds like. Unless something is very medically wrong with you. You choke the whole way down, and it's like audible.

But we'd like to start with our Space of the Week on Quora. The spaces are kind of group forums. They're like subreddits for Quora. They get together to discuss topics. This is, of course, the Space of the Week. Geeks and nerds. I've never even been into this level of Quora.

No one has. That's a sign that you are not a pervert of any kind. Oh. Potentially. Or ill of brain. This kind, specifically. I think throughout the rest of the episode, you'll have many opportunities to prove you are a pervert. week space of the week it's space of the week okay we're on geeks and nerds 10.6k followers a good sized space a lot of books over here big ai picture of books small ai you don't think it's

ai you think you think everything's ai now this is a real book i like this title right here Reader's Digest Complete DIY Manual. What does that even mean? Well, it's anything you could DIY. Okay. So, bird box. Got it, got it, got it. What?

Bird box. How to watch. Bird box. Was that a Netflix thing? It was. How to watch bird box. She closes her eyes so she doesn't see the birds. I was like fucking blacked out when I watched that movie.

I don't really remember what happened. And then it created something called the Bird Box Challenge, which I don't even remember what that was. Blindfold yourself and do something, right? Watch the movie. Do some sort of thing. Listen to the movie? Some sort of marketing campaign that people did on their own for some reason.

It's a really lo-fi challenge where you blindfold yourself but watch a movie. And then you're like, I don't really know what's happening. I'm missing a lot of cues. I close my eyes. The movie's too dark. Geeks and nerds, what do you need to know? Here's the bio. Calling all nerds, geeks, bibliophiles, and engineers.

Share your knowledge here. A bibliophile is someone who's attracted to children that are in a book. I don't think that's right. C. Peter Pan, Madeline. They think children in books? The Wimpy Kid. Oh, yeah. He's hot.

He's got a sexy body. Oh, boy. It's mostly a line, I think. I think his is a line. It's one line. What podcast have I joined? That's not important. You're promoting something.

The pardon is it's the geeks and nerd space. Now, I think the modern interpretation of a geek and a nerd has been somewhat removed from book, and that's somewhat startling to me because I click geeks and nerds, I was thinking video game. I'm thinking television. I'm thinking iPad child, barely literate, and yet they are absconded in this room full of books.

I'm shocked, that's all. Tim, do you identify as either a geek or a nerd or both? I historically have identified as a nerd, but these days when it comes to saying I'm a fan of something, I kind of back away from it. It feels more shameful than ever. Well, not shameful, but I'm afraid that I don't know enough. I'm afraid I'm talking to someone who actually is a fanatic about it

and that I don't know enough. Like, I am a Star Wars fan. I don't know. You're not a big enough nerd. Yes, yes, yes. These days, even something like Pokemon, I'm like, yeah, I watch Pokemon. Hey, I'm not a fan.

but I'm afraid to say I don't support what they do no I'm afraid to say I'm a fan because then I'll get caught and not knowing enough about the thing

what is Greninja's middle name yeah that kind go how dare you it's probably Nin first name

Kra middle name Nin last name Ja I will often make that mistake of like when you're

casual conversation like oh you've seen that movie right and I'll go yeah even though I haven't just to keep the things moving and they'll be like

oh yeah guess what This is a test I do this to my wife a lot Because I think it's really funny Because she panics And says crazy things Like I'll be like

Have you seen this movie And she'll be like Yeah And I'll be like What's it about And she'll be like I will And she'll try to guess

So to be clear Tim does not say He's a fan Specifically to avoid People like Jeremy I only do it to The woman I married The woman

The second you Put your neck out there I asked her We watched this TV show Eagle Heart together Okay have you ever seen it big fan

it's so funny I support everyone in it and anything political they've ever said yes it's not like an FBI agent some of it is quite dated but you see what I did there

I my first thing was like I'm not sure yes and it took me years to start doing that I watched this movie I watched this TV show

with my wife a few months later I asked her if she had any memory of it and she said yes and I said what's it about she goes is that the one about the guy

who's got a heart of an eagle and I was like you thought that would fly You thought I'd just be like, you're right. It is, though. That's why they called it that. He got a heart of an eagle. That's smart to go, is that the one?

I'm going to start using that, though. That's what you have to do. And then you kind of just flip the title around. Yeah, yeah, yeah. An Iron Man. He's the man of iron. I don't ever say I'm a fan of something because I don't want to end up in a fuck a fan contest. Damn, that died Dr. Pepper, really.

you don't you don't want to accidentally end up as a fan in a fuck a fan they pick you to fuck they pick me i want you it's the open like style you gotta fuck jar jar binks that's what it is you're such a big fan you must be excited i'm imagining fuck a fan it's just two words by the way fuck a fan for the fans who are good to fuck uh this is a space with 11 contributors uh which is a real solid core here a lot of the times when you go on these spaces there's up to a thousand contributors and then just one person who's active but this i guess has a you know a high council that really runs the roost here yeah i like the mix of like actual names and kind of mystery names too oh gear solid you don't think

it's a real name and one is just dallas that's dallas is a really cool dallas is a great quora a name so if he's a lifelong book reader if you're not on quora a lot a big thing is that people will put their full name and too much information and then overshare something about a thought they have or any kind of opinion where you shouldn't be able to find them but if people go on with a name like dallas and a picture of superman they're really doing the website right yeah dallas is cool so we had to actually go through a few of these uh so these are the 11 contributors dallas is one of them then we have alex pismini who's a catholic christian now that is a tough name yeah that's a tough one especially in a catholic school like i assume you went to and we have billy lee who's

the billy lee pontificator oh is that him i was always wondering who runs billy lee pontificator um so yeah he's sort of a thinker self-taught he is a self-taught thinker well he's a moderator in a lot of spaces. Look how many spaces he moderates. He does. Nihilism for Eternity, Astronomy Facts,

Amazing Space. Damn, that's interesting. The Armchair Intellectual. The Unflattering Truth. I'm becoming attracted to him like the way women were attracted to Oppenheimer. Uh-oh.

I've got bad news, Alex. You've been entered into the Fuck a Fan contest. No! Not to have sex with Billy Lee. I registered as a fan. That wasn't my intention. Look at this.

He's trying to become a contributor. He's asking, any chance I can become a contributor? He's addicted to contributing to groups. See, this is what I should have been doing in my 20s. Now I'm looking back at my resume. I have no contributions. No one knows.

They only know me as a fan. That's good to fuck. There's some real interesting questions in here. If children could stop their aging, what would be the most popular age they would choose? Ooh! You bibliophiles. You are a bibliophile.

You fucking bibliophile. i have evidence that a bibliophile was here um also real quick that this space that we could read this um this description of the space yes the internet can be a scary place especially now when we're fighting against a pandemic again so i guess this is from like six years ago or maybe there's a new one i don't know about yeah new pandemic just dropped so this space was created as a safe haven from the storms of life okay relax unwind and read there are many odd weird wonderful and interesting questions and answers people and places things and objects just waiting to be read about and explored how did pay less shoes rework some of their advertisements to get

social media influencers interested in their products how is that related to geek and nerd how would what would happen if one cubic foot of neutron star matter was brought to earth what are some interesting facts from history you had me on the second one that was kind of nerdy i guess but the first one was kind of like i love marketing if you could choose for me if you could you some minecraft updates what would you choose wow these are strangely vague yeah plus star wars bashing world war ii hashing social media bashing and tow truck crashing answers written by awesome dudes and dudettes you should not have used bashing twice that really bothered me so bashing they don't like star wars but they love world war ii is that what i'm reading they love to hash it

but they love in terms of social media they love to bash it but they for tow trucks do they like or dislike Star Wars and World War II? Well, I think they love and hate it. They probably love some parts of World War II that may make you as not a nerd uncomfortable. I'm trying to think of the type of person who loves World War II and hates Star Wars, and Nazi is the only thing I'm coming up with.

Guy who loves Nazis and is mad that the Stormtroopers are based on them. Like, I don't know what else that is. That's a very specific critique of Star Wars. They were too hard on the Stormtroopers. They lost a lot of the efficiency of the, I said Scroopin'. the aim of the soldier has really deter uh deteriorated they got a picture of star trek

the last voyager it's just a place for geeks and nerds to hang out and that's kind of like us here elon a elon moment it billy lee posted that one 25 best-selling game consoles pretty cool stuff the nintendo ds sold a lot it did it was a great console now the lack of upvotes that I'm seeing. That's a bad sign, right? I gave it one upvote. We're trying to fix it now. This is a self-taught thinker.

There's nothing on this sub-quora. Let's move on, I think. This is just a place for geeks and nerds to hash it out and maybe be a Nazi. How fast is Superman currently? Dallas says currently? Possibly incalculable. Yeah, that's fact.

Flawless victory. I can't stop thinking about the question at what age would children choose to stop aging? I was so ready to just talk about that for like an hour. I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt that. What age would they stop? Let's all decide.

When do they figure out that they have the ability? Well, it's like the premise of children is what's so confusing. As an adult, it feels like you have context. So let's assume it's a legal framework. It's one through 18. Also, you have to be a child. So you can't be like 25.

That's not allowed. You have to pick a child. So you can only choose. I would probably wait till I'm done growing. So probably the end. But if you wait too long, you might not be able to stop and then you die. Wait, wait, wait. What if you do like one and you're just a one-year-old your whole life?

This is why I don't think we should do that is because the kids are going to accidentally do it. And then they're going to be stuck as two. They're going to be perma-baby. And you're going to have a boss baby. You're going to have all kinds of babies. And it's going to be a big problem. I think I'm walking in one. and I'm going to live to be, like, 90, but I'm a one-year-old,

and people just have to take care of me my whole life. If you think immigration is an issue, like, I know you do, Jeremy. I do? You can only imagine what a permanent baby would do to the economy. I was just in Mexico. I swapped with someone. Having to change your boss's dirty diaper seems like a real bummer. Yeah.

Yeah, is that ever explored in Boss Baby? I probably could only assume. I mean, I didn't see it. They definitely poop their diapers, I bet. Alec Baldwin probably goes like I know Can you do another take of that Alec One more take

Oh I'm Alec Yeah Really good switch up on that Claire If you can't see the show Claire has a new haircut And she's Alec Baldwin We're on youtube.com check it out One more question by the way Geeks and nerds what would lawyers get paid

if we had 100% accurate lie detectors. Nothing, because they're lying. That's my one note about this person. The questions are actually interesting. They're just not specific enough on a certain degree. It's strange. They also have nothing to do with nerddom.

Yeah, it should be like, what would the lawyers in Mass Effect get paid if we had 100% accurate lie detectors? What if a Mentat was real? Oh, yeah. What if a Krogan was a doctor? I love thinking about the Mentats. Mentats.

You're in the right place. Claire, we're shutting you down. The mint hats are very interesting. Our mint hats are the guys like this. No. That's the Cenobites. They're the human computers in Dune because there was some sort of jihad against Aryan.

There was a Bungarian jihad. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And so then due to getting high off of spice, humans over time gained this ability to basically be the computer. Human computers. Almost quantum level computers. It's the boy version of it.

The girl version is the Bene Gesserit. And their eyes roll back into their head, and then they tell you answers. Yeah, it's pretty awesome. Claire's Googling it. You can hear her typing. Now, the Bene Gesserit, they're interesting because they're like witches, Jedi, sort of religious.

But they can control the genetics. I was about to say, my favorite thing that they do is in the second movie, they have that scene where one of the witches goes to go get Austin Butler's sperm, and she just disappears with him and goes, the line is secure and then rubs her tummy and that's what women are like get his spur yeah they control genetics and they control this through line of religious thought across the galaxy so they're it's some interesting stuff going on there you can tell that frank herbert was scared of

nuns yeah yeah and you know this is the nerd alert episode we got no dune questions ready in the third book one of the benny jesser ladies does a thing where she controls her dna so she never ages, and all the other women get really mad at her. Oh, sure. She does what those children do. Very funny 1960s guy being like, but then she's hot, and all the other girls are jealous. I don't have to apply makeup.

I woke up like this. Yeah, she does do that. Beyonce. She uses witch magic when I wake up like this. Cool picture of the mountain from Game of Thrones. That's the mountain. He's very tall. Let's go to our questions per chance. Okay, this is the Quokker or Incel and Nerdosphere questions.

These are questions for men to ask on the internet of their friend Naruto. Why does Brock and Pokemon need a girlfriend? Because Brock is so horny. Wait, so Brock and Pokemon does have a girlfriend, I guess. He's always looking for one. Or he needs one. I think at one point he leaves the show because he just gets a girlfriend, which is funny to think, like, I'm looking for a girlfriend.

You know what would help is if I travel with two 10-year-olds around the world. Is he an adult in Pokemon? He's, like, 16 or something. That's the age I would freeze it. I would stop aging. Brock is 16? I think so. Well, you know when you're, like, a child

and teenagers just seem like full adults to you? I think it's, like, that kind of perception that you're given because you're given Ash's POV. Pav, I am Ash. So is Ash, like, kind of mad that Brock is... Yeah, because he hits it. Who is he hitting? Who is he not hitting?

He's just always... If you remember the show, Brock is looking... Cardevoir. ...to dig. Honey with a body. But now that I know he's 16, I take it back. Brock is looking to dig. Is that too old or too young for you, Claire?

Too young. What if he was frozen at 16 due to a choice from his power? Well, I... He was actually a rat on Earth for 40 years? Yeah. I guess I asked because I thought they were all children, so I thought they were younger than 16. Is the name Brock short for something?

It's one of those names where if you hear it, you're kind of already imagining a hot person. Like, you'd kind of be disappointed if you met a Brock. It has hard sounds. He's got that Onyx, the big rock guy. I think they just threw a B on top of that. Onyx is a very phallic figure. Oh, yeah.

I remember Onyx. This is something I've been meaning to talk about on the show more. We definitely talked about this. Onyx is thick. He is made of several different kind of like pulsating rocks and orbs. Pulsating is... No, they're always pulsating. And they make all kinds of earthquakes.

Alex is looking at Onyx as some sort of sentient large anal beads. Yeah, he's in large anal beads, but he's also a penis. And that's why he's got the full package. Are you saying that your penis is Onyx shaped? I would aspire to have such a penis as Onyx. That would be crazy. I mean, it would be a real disability, the Onyx penis, in my opinion. So the fuck a fan contest for Jar Jar Binks, you're horrified.

The fuck a fan for Onyx, all of a sudden you're so excited. Well, I have to pick my battles here. I can't win them all. I saved them all up for Onyx. I'm sure a stand-up comic has already done this, but I've always imagined... Onyx Materials played out. Because the Pokemon, they just repeat their name constantly.

And so if there was a Pokemon who maybe due to some translation issue from Japanese to English just happens to be named a racial slur... They would have to say it. You'd have to say it. And then you couldn't be mad at them. Yeah, you're not allowed. You could only be mad at the scientist who discovered them. You're not allowed to catch that Pokemon if it waits.

Do not do it. And keep that Pokemon away from the BAFTAs. It's one of the Pokemon in the games you need a pass to catch. Then you'd be like, it's okay, I have the pass. Oh, my cat's here. Milo, don't scratch that. Okay, I'd like to read some answers. Claire, you can't even see Milo.

You're in California. He can't hear you. You can't see him. I'm keeping you two separate. I'm reading the answers. We have a top answer from Bradley Davis, but I'm kind of attracted to David Faddele's answer number two here, who has played every game since Pokemon Red.

I think Brock's strong desire for a girlfriend stems from genetics. You only need to see how many siblings Brock has to understand this. His apparent state of puberty, he's only a little bit older than Ash, and unresolved abandonment issues, both Flint and Lola, left Brock in charge of his siblings of the pewter gym to pursue their own goals. Sorry, I thought you were reading the one above it. well the one above it is very interesting and that has the most is it always the top has the most uh upvotes um no the website is actually really bad so it's unclear how they sort anything this

is sort of by recommended we can't sort by upvotes which would do nothing these are the same rules as in the gay community where the top has the most uh the top has the most upvotes please let me read the end of the thing i was reading please please uh this seems like a trifecta of symptoms for Brock's seemingly out of control sexual appetite. Now this opens up I assumed Brock was a little older like 16. He could be like 13. I thought he was younger.

Paw of Ash. Can we look up Brock's body? How old is Brock in Pokemon? I don't think we can do that. How old is Brock? He's 15. His name is Brock Harrison. Do you know his last name? Brock American name.

There he is. He's Brock. He looks like a boy from high school. Now that we're looking at him and I'm not Ash he does look like a boy. When I was Ash, he looked really big and strong, but now he kind of looks like he's in high school.

In Japan, he's Takeshi. When I was little, he sounded like a man as well. Yeah. Like in the cartoon. There's a lot of Korra's poking fun at his closed eyes. I thought that was playing with fire.

I didn't put those in the doc, but you know, if you are curious, people are asking questions about it on the wall. Do your own research. Misty's 12. Yeah.

Well, she's older than Ash, and that's what makes her so desirable for him. Because you're Ash. This top one is very dramatic right off the bat. Bradley Dabings. Yeah, it's Brock grew up without a father or a mother. Well, hold on. Can you just read the first sentence quick as well?

Wow, something I can actually answer like an intellectual. I know a great space. You see, Brock grew up without a father or a mother and had to take care of all of his siblings all by himself. That's in bold. This would lead to dependent personality disorder since he has never had someone to take care of him. He wants a girl that can take care of him.

This is why he hits on all the girls in Pokemon that help other. That help other. This consists of policewoman, nurses, strong caretakers, and loving older siblings so he needs a girlfriend to make up for all of the responsibilities he had growing up since he grew up without anyone to take care of him yes some people would actually develop rad which means reactive attachment disorder but some have the opposite effect now have we considered this this is really interesting it's the exact contrasting answer to David Faddele,

which is that Brock is born to be horny. His family has like 12 kids and they left. They're just like chronic horny people. Does the Pokemon show get this deep and emotional? Only in Japan. They changed it in the American dub. When they changed it to English, all the stuff about his personality disorder.

They changed it to like loving food or something. Yeah, yeah. Well, all the parts about his personality disorder gave all the kids with epilepsy an attack so that we had to take them out? No, I like the idea of this being a therapist who was just on Quora and took the time to write this. He's answering Pokemon questions.

Well, the guy who answered it said, I may have been super tired while answering this, and then four years later someone said, I found this answer actually quite helpful to understand Brock a bit better. Thanks. Helpful. I think they're both kind of right and the answer is somewhere in between, which is

that Brock's so horny and also he's filling the hole in himself. Apparently there's a novel Pokemon is based on, which I don't believe. Is that true? A novel was created called Pocket Monsters and it says in the novel Brock falls for every girl because his mother

was extremely neglectful and left him to take care of his nine sisters. I feel like I need to read some Pokemon novels now. You have to read the book. Hashtag read the book. You can't understand all the complicated lore otherwise. Between a Brock and a hard place.

That's the name of his memoir. That could be a Pokemon episode. Let's go to the next question. I want to see who asked the question real fast. It's Fatima Patel. Classic. Who I think we've seen before on this website. Yeah, that sounds like a very familiar name.

I can tell you she lives in Blackburn, Lancashire. Cool. You got a queue for everything here. We have a lot of buttons. We have 40 queues. It's really important to have many buttons. 44 now. Here's a question.

Do black nerds go through different situations in black society as white nerds do in white society? Oh, boy. I'm glad you have me on the show to answer this question. I'll be honest. This one's been in the dark a while. This feels like the perfect time to just segue into a quick promotion for my podcast, Judge Travis, which is about the personal life of a TV judge and how that affects his verdicts. Eight episodes are out now, wherever you listen to the podcast.

Yes, we should have done that earlier, but we got extremely distracted. so what what is uh this is a whole section of quora dedicated to black nerds or is this just a question here's the thing is if you just put in the names of races on quora you're gonna get to some dicey material real quick look at these related questions are ethiopians black are greeks white are there white black people albino black people i bet some yeah and also you can have like albino alligators and everything it's a kind of real cheat code for being white yeah and of course there's pete davidson who is uh who's an alligator who is a white black person to answer that question so this first one i like in parentheticals

american context from the stories my white nerd i like how he capitalized white there too nerd friends have told me no not really generally both seem to have shared experiences of being at the bottom of the school hierarchy you know the story being shoved into lockers metaphorically or literally if you're expecting a black nerds have it particularly hard story move on wow damn is this a picture of uh people from those are nerds survivor i don't know what this is yeah those are nerds that happen to be on survivor this whole thing about being shoved into a locker in your high school did you have lockers the size of a human being because i didn't and i've always no they were half i had there was this one kid who was very weird in my high school who shrugged

himself into a locker but that's the only one i know so you had the human size lock no he was just real tiny that was a sex thing but he did get in there oh it wasn't like human size but it was like i guess if you're small enough you could squeeze in maybe got it got it or tall but there was half Is this a myth, the tall walker? I don't know. Because now I look at all that space and all these shows about high school. I'm like, what were they doing with all that space?

I think just with population growth, there used to be less children per school. And so you could have a tall walker. Yeah. But it's just for hanging your trench coat or what? Like, what are you doing with that much space? You can put all your clothes in. Wait, maybe they made them smaller

so kids couldn't fit their trench coats in their eighties. That's what it was. get on ahead of it now what i do like columbine yeah you shouldn't be able to put four machine guns in your locker it's just asking for trouble um what i like about this question is it starts with the premise of like by the way uh there's a white society that white nerds are in and black society black nerds are in and never the two shall meet do you think andrew cuomo could answer this question i would he be qualified to i am black i am gay i am disabled i am a woman seeking to control her health and her choices okay yeah he could i think he could do awesome if he said i'm

a nerd i am a nerd i am in a locker let me out i'm a dweeb i'm a geek i'm a weirdo i'm a lover my take on this the answer this question is is i think that often black nerds will find camaraderie in white spaces and the reverse is for white nerds where it's like white nerds in black spaces they'll they'll more likely to find black people like we fuck with you okay so they can cross over both of them they have shared interest they have trouble in their own societies but they can cross exactly exactly yeah that's beautiful it's actually the power of Jar Jar Binks is he brings people together.

Especially on his coveted fuck a fan list. And I think an interesting example of that is like Kanye West is like a black nerd. A lot of people, a lot of white people recently too. He's kind of a nerd for a while. Very proud white people.

He's a nerd for one specific part of history. He hates Star Wars. He has a very specific complaint about it um okay so i imagine there's gonna be some very thoughtful answers to this we can scroll down to see if there's anything uh cackling insane but there's should this related question should whites stop coddling blacks yeah put them down whenever anyone makes a pluralizes a race it's already bad like you know there's no one has ever been like should whites give hugs to

black. It's always something evil. Picture of Piccolo. Oh, yeah. We got to get Piccolo in there. Where is he? There he is. The green guy. There's Piccolo with dreads in this instance. Now, if you are familiar with Dragon Ball Z, Piccolo does not often have dreads. He's kind of a plant

man. Yeah. Nerds are their own race. Now, this is interesting. This is sort of a Magneto take. from rick chapman saying nah nerds are their own race a brotherhood linked by questionable taste in clothing too much time spent online playing whatever role playing epic is the most difficult no dates on saturday tech nerds also like to spice up with interminable arguments about Angular versus

Node.js. Raspberry Pi versus Arduino. Those are like little computer chips that you can program to work some out. Rick Chapman here starting a two-upvote

revolution. Yeah, I gave him an upvote. He also signed his post. He signed his post, Rick. I just like the idea that nerds are their own race. I'm on board. this is the kind of energy this discussion needs this is great

he lives in the Bronx and I do I do find as someone who I think that I was a black nerd in high school for instance that there was that sense when you unique camaraderie was forged beyond racial right expectations when it's just like oh wow you

that's beautiful yeah finding out you're an elf per chance yeah yes in the movie elf in the movie elf with Will Ferrell With Will Ferrell. John Favreau. Elf and Grogu coming to theaters. I'm so excited.

We're just naming people now. People in Elf. I'm so excited for Elf and Grogu. This is an Elf recap podcast. The podcast was better when Claire was naming children in books she finds attractive. I did not that I find attractive. You said wimpy. You're a bibliophile.

You're going to jail. I'm naming children. Okay, we're moving on. She's into Wimpy. We're moving on. She thinks Wimpy's got it going on. Who would win an award between all Digimon and Pokemon? This is interesting, because I love Digimon.

Do you remember Beetleborg? Oh, yeah. The song, especially. I went to high school with him. And now Flabber, though, and Beetleborg was really disturbing. Is it the name Flabber? Pull up Flabber. The giant?

Pull up Beetleborg. Jamie, pull up Flabber. What am I doing? It wasn't me, it was the fucking Google It's Jay Leno Flabber clearly was some sort of Jay Leno Yeah, he's based on Jay Leno What the fuck is this guy?

Who is this blue Jay Leno you're showing me? That's Flabber What is happening? I loved Beetleborgs so much He gave the Beetleborgs their missions, as I recall What the fuck is Beetleborgs? Was Beetleborgs just like an America made? Is that what it is?

It's like America made knockoff of the Power Rangers So the Power Rangers are from recycled footage from a Japanese live action show from like the 70s that they turned into a school drama. And it was incredibly, super wildly popular. And so there's a bunch of spinoffs that are like the same thing. And Beetle Borgs is one of them. I think I wonder if it's also an old Sentai that they just did the same thing with. But then they said, do you know what it needs? It needs Jay Leno.

It needs Jay Leno. And it's someone who feels like you're winding down at the end of the day with some casual observational comedy like Flabber. Can you look up who played Flabber? I haven't thought about this since. It's probably someone really famous. Probably someone really big. I'm kind of surprised that it's not Bruce Campbell or something.

Billy Forrester. Billy Forrester. Okay. Who is not Jay Leno, I guess. We're on the IMDB for Billy Forrester. He's in a lot of cool shows like Curse of the Shadow Borg and Bloodhound's Inc. and Beetle Borg's Colin Vampire Files. Yeah, most of these are Beetle Borg related, so he had a good...

He was even there for their Vampire Files, though. He's not, like, a casual fan. What the fuck is this? It's Beetle Borg! How do you guys know about King Koopa? The thing about Jeremy is he is, like, very young, and so he doesn't know about things like Beetle Borg. I locked in at 18, so...

So you're about Brock age. Do you guys know about King Koopa's cool cartoons? No, I was not old enough to watch this one. Ew, spooky. This was a Mario cartoon where the ugliest version of Bowser ever was the host. That's Bowser? That's Bowser. It's King Koopa.

That sucks. It's King Koopa's cool cartoons, all Ks, and his catchphrase, I'll Koopa Youpa. I'm going to get a gun. It was canceled because somebody wrote a letter to the show, a child, and King Koopa, in character as an evil guy, said, I'm going to kill you. And now that I have your address, I know where you live. That's what he would say. And they said, you can't be saying that. Wait, this was recorded live?

This was in 1989. I don't know if it was live. So the fact that it went through all, it's just like the BAFTAs again. I know. Went through this long process. I know. And they still kept it. Put a microphone in front of Koopa.

Oh, yeah. Which they just didn't need to do. They should have had Mario host the show. Accessibility is finding a place for Koopa where he doesn't have to do that. No, he's in a castle and he has your girl. he has a framed photo of luigi in his home wow very nice anyway that's king koopa's kind of weird for him to have that yeah i thought this was supposed to be his enemy let's go to the next question we don't want to talk about who would win in a war between digimon i'm sorry

it's just we got so far i've we didn't discuss this at all actually actually say a single thing no one has had an answer claire who do you think would win uh don't choke or did you run all little dinosaurs no no there are actually many of them are beautiful women yeah then i don't know no they're and they're so fine i don't know i don't know enough about them pull up some really good looking digimon no i feel like we've done this before we're back on mermaimon no we've talked about mermaimon they really are humanoid digimon i didn't realize that lady she's a pirate woman Now pull up Angi-woman. Show Claire Angi-woman.

I know about Angi-woman. Then flip it around and show her Angi-mon. Remember that song, Woman, by Wolf Mother? That just popped into my head right now. It's kind of about Angi-woman. Angi-woman. Wait, Claire, are you into this? Do you like this guy?

Do you like this guy? He could stomp on a Pikachu like that. Yeah, I think that Digimon are winning. Why does Angemon have tumors in his chest? Those are nipples. They're all over the place. They're supposed to be like biblically accurate angel nipples. He's a freaky deaky.

Some of them have like guns, I feel like. Digimon are the champions. I think we all agree. I would agree Digimon are the champions. Blastoise has guns as well. I think except for maybe the legendary Pokemon, which frequently have abilities that are a volcano blast or whatever. You too.

The Digimon do the thing where they zoom out and show the whole earth exploding or whatever when they do their moves. Who's the Pokemon with the spoons? Alakazam. Gyarados, that's right, Claire. I liked Alakazam. Yeah, he's pretty cool.

He's a good guy. Kadabra. I mean, both sides got some really good guys. Mr. Mime. Yeah. Digimon definitely winning the sexy options as well. I do think Digimon are winning. And I think they're the champions.

They're men. They could go to war. Okay, this has reached another... What happened to you in Mexico? What does that mean? this is a man look at him he can fight a battle

he can hold a gun we've reached a quorum what have you seen are there any good answers on the question I did find out I was like my hotel was like

10 minutes away from the dangerous neighborhood that everyone's afraid of when I was in Mexico and their catchphrase is called Tepito their catchphrase is you can buy anything

in Tepito except your dignity wow I took a we were I was in Ireland once and we stayed at this place It's called the Europa Hotel.

And on the way out, our cab driver refused to pick us up at the hotel. And we found out on the way out that during the troubles, this hotel was bombed many times. Wow. That's scary. I don't think we need to read all these. But I've scrolled through, and everyone is saying Digimon, except this one guy who has a picture that he likes.

Really cool. Oh, because of Arceus. That will save you from the fire. There is technically a Pokemon that is God, and it's Arceus. Oh, okay. Well, fair enough. Cheating. I forgot about Mew.

Yeah, Mew too. Mew is very powerful. He's under that truck. These are very powerful Pokemon. Let's do our movie questions, Quinsletown. Yeah, it's a nerd alert. It's Quinsletown. All the stars are here as we answer Quora questions about the films.

This question has no answers. It is, who is Lord of the Rings? This is a top Quora question. Okay. now did they mean to misspell lord of the rings or is this a person in lord of the rings who's fat i think someone was uh made fun of on the internet i must say a large-bodied person was probably called hey you look hey you are lord of the rings and that person is like what is that oh right do you think this is kevin smith that means this whole thing is a bit of a

tragedy yeah you know i met kevin smith really one of the art of the ring i've had i've had the luxury of writing for three different television programs one was uh they did a revival of all that on nickelodeon 2019 and i have to be very careful these days to clarify that i wrote for the 2019 revival right you're a bibliophile yeah because i'm not a bibliophile i wrote for the tonight show starring jimmy fallon which is arguably another children's program and i also sure wrote for a show called warped a nickelodeon sitcom that took place in a comic book store and there was an episode that uh kevin smith was in he was really cool he actually really like held court on because it's like it was still like during the delta variant and so the only reason

that i met him was because this was that one of the episodes that i had the written by credit on so i got to go to the studio so you're going through that whole thing getting tested like crazy it was like he was hosting a stand-up show almost the entire time because he i don't know him too yeah similar vibe yeah yeah and that's kind of was he wearing a backwards hat he was wearing a backwards hat he was wearing giant shorts but i have this feeling that he really is kind of like in that place of like representing comics in the same way that stan lee did where right right well who else is in that slot a lot of them have become evil so that's hard like you can't get like frank miller in there no but someone who's like excited and passionately

You know, like I'm making a children's show where you can book Frank Miller and you have on the Daily Wire. Plus, you have to explain who he is to the kids the whole time. And you're like, in this one, Batman does assault. I mean, like, Claire, you should get Kevin Smith to come on Quarriors. Oh, yeah. Three hour episode. I'm going to ask him why his shorts are so big.

We could ask him about that one tweet he did about his wife's pussy. Damn. I think about it all the time. You don't want to try smaller shorts? I love that that still endures. People reposted that. It's one of the great tweets. It really is.

Honestly, it's me for real when I read that one. You know what we're talking about, Tim? Yeah, when he wrote the lyrics for Wet Ass Pussy, right? Yeah, he was the original writer of that. It was like some anniversary post. Who is Lord of the Rings? There's no answers on this.

Oh, maybe it's just an Irish person reading Lord of the Rings. Shut the fuck up. It began with the forging of the great rings. Three were given to the elves, immortal wisest and fairest of all beings. Seven to the dwarf lords. Why don't the eagles just take them home?

Miners and craftsmen of the mountain halls. And nine. This question was asked by the concerned grandma Joan Wall? Yeah, I think that she is some kind of troll. Concerned grandma. She has 11,000 questions. It's hard to say, though. What's the most...

I like the angle that you added to this, Claire, where it adds the sense of tragedy to the entire page. Well, she says that. Her thing says concern grandma. She didn't make that. It says it right there, too. No, no, just the tragedy to the question, who is Lord of the Rings?

That someone was called Lord of the Rings, they didn't get it, and so they... Sounds like Gollum. Kind of looks like chubby Gollum. These questions, maybe they're not trolls because they're all just normal questions. Yeah, I don't know what about this you thought was a troll. What is the secret to Cary Grant's style?

These are grandma questions. What was Meyer Lansky's true genius? My grandma has asked me all of these. Would Jerry Seinfeld not be able to do many jokes from Seinfeld in today's world? Why or why not? Last time I saw my grandma, she had a very serious moment where she pulled me aside and she said, What do I do about AI? Who has Meghan Markle pegged?

Yeah. What? You can't peg Meghan Markle. Everyone stop pegging Meghan Markle. 11,000 questions, dude. Who is Javier Bardem, she answered. Yeah, and she gave a pretty long answer about it. This is just who he is.

Great. Now, is that the theory that you just emerged? Is this grandma sentient AI? Is this grandma person actually AI trying to understand humanity? Everything about this page seems like a sincere grandma to me. It's hard to say. Grandmas do be like this. This is what they are like.

And if this is an AI replicating grandmas, they have gotten too powerful for our own good. She's one of the admins of Diary of a Movie Lover. Oh, and she also loves movies. What doesn't she do? Pretty cool stuff. We should use that for when we have Kevin Smith on. Claire, send him a text.

Turn to classic movies and chill. Tim would be closer to him. Oh, yeah. Tim will get him for us. Ask him to come on. I don't know how to. Tim, if you could just get. You have to do the.

Just get him for the show No I mean he was very nice But we didn't exchange No you gotta do it I mean I don't know how to He probably owes you one Pull up that call sheet

His phone number's on there Get your bat symbol He'll remember you Maybe Maybe Uh oh I really like this question Okay here's a question

Why does Michael Jackson Sing hee hee Sometimes during his songs It's cause he sees Something funny He sees a He sees like a funny little rainbow he's a black nerd who crossed over into white society maybe he's just thinking

of how funny it is that you would lean over all the way forward if you were a smooth criminal i feel like this this heehee thing one of my favorite things back when i used twitter a lot was when i used to just post a bunch of jokes and sometimes you think you have an original take and then you type that in and you find thousands of other yeah people doing the thing humbling yeah and so the he he thing was like oh i was like oh michael jackson he he pronouns yeah and then i saw the plethora of people i used to get mad about that but i find that to be beautiful beautiful that yeah highlighting the shared thoughts i think it'd be nice about how michael jackson's pronouns are he he well maybe instead he can mix it up he can mix it up he could sing a song and go she her

he could do that he could and he will tim can you get him on the show Damn, can you please call Michael Jackson? Well, you know, there's that Michael Jackson biopic. That's right, played by his nephew, right? Played by his nephew, and it has the most prosthetics, I feel. I forget the name of the actor. He's a really great actor as Joe Jackson. It's like a lot of makeup caked on for him to...

Ooh, it's going to suck ass. They put him in goblin paint. He's kind of a bibliophile. I was thinking the same thing. He's a bit of a bibliophile. There are accusations he is a bibliophile. He loves books. Hey, he's a real wimpy kid.

Wimpy kid has been to his house. Apparently there's some friction in the Jackson family as to whether or not this movie should even exist. Yeah, I mean, like, anytime someone's family ever makes a biopic about you, it's a little funky, but I don't know. It should be made by a random British man. Close friends with Captain Underpants.

He's a bibliophile. So, yeah, what are some of the answers? Marina, who lives in Rome, says, his hee-hee is Michael Jackson's trademark vocal hiccup. He didn't just do it sometimes. He did it almost always. That's true. It was his trademark singing style,

just like moonwalking and spins were his iconic signature dance moves. Yeah. These are not really an answer so much as an explanation of the backstory. It seems like this guy already knows that. Yeah, it's not, is there a hee-hee? It's why. For what reason is there a hee-hee? This has 194 upvotes.

Knock her down a peg, J-Man. This is allegedly just influenced by Diana Ross's vocal style, whom he admired both as an artist and as a woman. Downvote. He was a demonstration of his unique vocal abilities. He had a high tenor. Some people thought he was castrated, but he wasn't. He wasn't.

I mean, how does this person know? They say it was confirmed in his autopsy report. I haven't looked at it personally, but I gave it a downvote just in case. It was in his autopsy about how robust his balls were. ball report they said his pronouns were he he he's got ball he knows ball i see a lot of great answers this is an interesting start which one this one that starts with i see a lot of great answers oh oh yes you can understand why that's confusing for us if you're listening i thought you were seeing great answers and i was excited unfortunately you were quoting christian pearson

who lives in Myrtle Beach. I see a lot of great answers and I believe he had a vast influences. He had vast influences to his vocal techniques but I think he took the hee hee

from hee and hees from Stevie Wonder. Wow. You stole those. Yeah he stole them from Stevie. This is no way

to say Michael stole anything. He definitely borrowed a lot from so many people to make his own style and trademarks. Stevie Wonder's doing it for echolocation. As all legendary artists

have done. Hee hee echolocation. He stole the hee hees from Stevie. That's exactly right, Claire. That's damn good. Put that in the New York Post. Come on. Or the California Post. That's in the bonus, everybody.

Subscribe on Patreon. The guy who asked this question has a lot of stuff going on about Naruto. He wants to know, would Naruto without Kurama have surpassed Minato? Okay, this is your best friend, you guys. Alex, do you know this guy? Are you friends with him? Yeah, that's Edward Ellis

from Chattanooga Times. I'm reading that question to the melody of Samurai Jack, and it actually kind of flows. Yeah, what are the odds? Who would win in a fight between Hokage Naruto and Naruto from the last movie? Stupid question. Grow up. Why are all these questions about Naruto and Digimon and Pokemon always,

who would win in a fight? Why can't they all just get along? Why can't they all just get along? You think Sasuke is arrogant? Why don't all the Digimon spark one? Which Tyler the Creator album did you like more, Igor or Flower Boy? I liked Igor more. I liked Flower Boy more.

Tyler the Destroyer. We'll never get along. Who would win in a fight between Tyler the Creator and Tyler the Destroyer? You got to be Tyler the Destroyer. I got all my money on Tyler the Destroyer, to be honest with you. I love Tyler the Creator, but he wasn't made for this. I like that you put this in the Hollywood questions, Alex. Do most black Dragon Ball fans think of Piccolo as black?

We'll have to see. I think the answer is all fans do. That's just a fact. Somebody says no in the second one. Really? Yeah. He's green. What?

No, someone says. It's the same way we know. This is Habib Fani. Habib says, I grew up watching this anime in Africa. No one ever, ever, ever thought he was black. Interesting. Am I missing something here? Now, I've just heard very popularly that people do, in fact, think that.

So, Miss Fanny, you may have to explain yourself. And this guy says one drop rule, which feels pretty fucked up to say about Piccolo. Don't say that about Piccolo. His people were destroyed by Frieza. Oh, boy. I think it says a lot about Frieza. this guy says i wouldn't say most much love to piccolo but i grew up watching dbz and he wasn't the one i associated with black people i'm from chicago i caught dbz right after the say in saga

i remember watching frieza a big picture of frieza this pasty motherfucker right here calling saiyans monkeys and admitting that he tried to wipe all them out and claiming to hate them with all his heart and i said that sure sounds familiar what okay so he's saying the saiyans are black for us so he switches he changed the game i always thought saiyans were closest to black or at the very least african-american high yellow african-american it's a bold take and i'm here for it that's an interesting move i've never seen this move before i've never internalized it i have no fight in this game whatsoever so i'm just gonna kick it to you guys claire which one is which race

there's an answer from errol ragsdale who's a pretty bookworm who thinks comics are books sure yeah that sounds fine i don't support bibliophilia get out of here um everyone is just most people are saying yes so i think we'll move on from that i think the answer is it's up to him yeah ask piccolo yourself let piccolo speak for himself how much time he has a beautiful history. He has a beautiful community. Do you want to do a listener question? All the Nameks are born out of a cloaca like birds. Let's do a listener question.

I would like to do a very important quiz course one before we're done. I would like to do the third one that has no answers. I was also kind of wanting to do that one. Okay, so this is the quiz course. You're going to have to walk me through this question. Alright, so these are political questions.

We're just jamming this one in. It's kind of for nerds. Does the full name Jeremy Yongpeng Son Tastafan sound Chinese or not? For some reason, Tim didn't say when we saw this one, oh, it's perfect you had me here. I don't know why. Yeah, I just thought at this time. I was reading this one over on the train kind of a lot. And I think the fact it starts with Jeremy is probably a tough sell.

Why? Jeremy's could be Chinese. Jeremy's can't be Chinese but I mean does the name sound Chinese I guess here's the parts

that sound Chinese to me and it's Yongpeng and Sun Tostalfen does not sound that Chinese what did this name come from is this someone

that I should know I was supposed to know this guy it's from the Tostalfen family this is a famous family I'm guessing

this is someone who is writing a book and is like I need a Chinese name and then is like here's what I got so like vaguely Asian book

yeah they're writing an Asian fantasy that has some sort of jokes I knew this is a real guy no no that's Jeremy Young Peng's

son's testimony he's on Twitter I like the idea of like a like a private investigator using Quora you know

it would be very easy to find who you are I was about to say it's not a bad idea I don't think it does sound Chinese I think it sounds

like Nordic or something it sounds like guy who reposts the war monitor on Twitter. How did this guy, why does this guy exist? How dare you? Why do you exist? Fair enough. Does the name,

it has one answer, is that what I'm seeing here? It's got two answers. So Jeremy asked this, most likely. People are saying no, it doesn't sound Chinese for what it's worth. All the answers say no. Alex vindicated. I think that this guy has asked multiple questions. I think Alex is correct.

This is asked by Jeremy Youngpen son testifon. Wait, wait, wait, go back though. Some of the other questions on the side seem like follow-ups. Yeah, that's what I was trying to figure out. This one on the side. Should I change my name from Yong Pen Sun to Jeremy Taustofen?

I came up with this name myself. Does it still sound Chinese or not? I'm beginning to put the mystery together here. It seems like, okay, more questions from this guy. Should I upgrade my Chinese name to Sun to Taustofen, which sounds much cooler? Does Taustofen, which is derived from sun, sound like a Chinese name.

Brother, it sounds like you already are fully on board with Tastaufen. You just got to take the bait. This is a very Alex Patak coded guy. Because I feel like Alex is trying to become Chinese as well. It's funny you say that because I kind of feel like it's the opposite

of a guy who is Chinese and is trying to become Jeremy Tastaufen. It's kind of reverted. It's the yin to my yang, if you will. Yes. Wait, are you going to do a name swap with this person? Oh, so I could become Jeremy Sun?

Yeah. You have too many Jeremy's on the show. Or no, Sun Yungpeng? I could be a good Sun Yungpeng. It's not too late to change my daughter's last name. She could be Josephine Joy. This guy lives in Canada. Yeah, say your daughter's full name.

Yeah, on the podcast. Yungpeng. Get it in there. Why not? Will this affect her work? She's got to start working soon. I know that. He says, so if I have Chinese ancestry but don't look Chinese,

do I tick the Chinese box on the Canada census visible minority question or not? Wait, there's a visible minority question? I guess so. In Canada? In Canada, you've got to pass the smell test. Are you visibly black? Wow, that's interesting. We get that you're black.

Then he asks what else. You've got to pass the test. Do you want to be Canada black? Name three things. You've got to hang out with Drake for three hours. Is Piccolo white or black? Is Frieza white or black? What is Eagleheart about?

Am I keeping that in? Why is Chinese classified as visible minority in Canada, but English or French is not classified as visible minority in China? Does this mean Canada is racist compared to China? Jeremy, you've got to get on a new website, man. Quora's just not going to have the answers. Oh, I was going to leave for a second, and I was like, Alex, that's the whole show. This is Yong Pen Sung, Taostephan.

Sorry. I'm amazed by this discovery of the visibly minority tab. Yeah, let's look that up. And that's why we are not moving to Canada. It's not safe. And once again, I do have to pee as it has been another hour. Claire, you've got to go to a doctor or something.

It's been an hour. I drink a whole thing of water. Close the door. Is this just my large privilege that I don't pee every hour with my huge bladder? If you want to watch Claire pee with the door open, you've got to sign up for Patreon. It's $5 a month.

Visible minority is sometimes... Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry. visible minority is a demographic in Canada I don't know it's a euphemism for non-white

it's maybe an aboriginal people's protection law is what I'm getting you just have too many French people because if you just say minority

you know all the fucking French people in Quebec are going to be like je suis a minority as well I'm from Quebec I live far from the city

I'm actually what I love about this page though is the use of purple I feel like I don't see purple enough on maps I agree with that

you really don't pretty cool that's true yeah well let's do a listener question and get out of here huh okay we'll all pee hit the button is that okay please write in with your questions to quarters at gmail dot com try to keep your questions under 30 seconds and not under a bridge where you record it and also don't give us like really bad ones because i'm not listening to any of these before we do them so yeah do good ones do good ones good one please don't do anything mean don't make Jeremy, edit. This one is called Pepper.

Hey, Quarters. Is salt overrated? Thanks. I love the brevity there. A perfect calling question. Really good stuff. Is salt overrated? And I don't know if you recorded that from a fridge.

Inside of a fridge. They are all done in an airplane. You know, it does sound like he opened the fridge, put his phone inside the fridge. He went to go get the pepper out of the fridge where he keeps it and said, I like this cold, but how I feel about salt is it can be warm. I should write it into the quarter. Is it overrated?

Salt is not overrated. It's underrated, I think. You're going to get hypertension underrated. We fought wars over salt. Yeah. The salt wars. It is very valuable. Before the Butlerian Jihad.

That's right. Yeah. It's the salt wars. Butlerian Jihad. Star Wars. Also, you can salt cod, and it will last longer, things last much longer. That's very important if you're eating a lot of cod.

Yeah, yeah. I mean, for cod alone, it's not underrated. What even is a McDonald's french fry without the salt? I don't even want to imagine what that is. I will say, in home cooking, I barely use any salt because I feel like I'm getting blasted when I go out. American alert. Yeah.

I use so much salt. I've used a lot of pepper. I'm just not using salt. You've got to be using salt, man. I don't trust you. They're going to preserve your foods. Guy who hates food here, you should cover it in salt.

The salt overrate. I wonder what led up to that question. That's so... I don't know. Yeah. Probably a lot of violence. Some sort of marital fight. Big fight.
