There's a fucking record button on this.
Recording in progress.
Chat, he is blind.
He can't see the zoom screen in front of his own eyes.
Chat.
Chat, this is Werner Herzog's Twitch stream.
Today we're clowning on Jeremy for being a faux ass.
Get your ass out of here.
The deranged podcaster cannot find the record button.
He deconstructs the boat to take it over the mountain
because he is in the mouth of madness.
Werner Herzog listening to an episode of
Quarators and being like, you must
delete this immediately.
You're doing too many
anecdotes. Never listen
to this. You've lost the through line
of what you were talking about
and it's like listening to
pigs talk.
Quarators is just the equivalent
of listening to a man be ripped apart
by a bear. That's right.
We talk about the same part
every time. It's a great movie.
There's only one part to talk about.
There's only one part.
No, that's not true.
I also really like the ending.
The ending, so after the guy gets eaten by the bear,
That is the ending!
No, but Werner does a really good monologue
where he says that,
I've watched hundreds of hours.
I see no kinship in the eyes of the bear.
Oh, yeah.
Which I really like.
That he's just like, this guy's an idiot.
In memoriam, you're a dumbass who got killed by a bear.
You ain't his friend.
He ain't your friend.
This has been German Bullies.
The bear was a fake friend.
This is an MTV show, German Bullies,
and it's Werner Herzog donking on fools for an hour.
You're dumb.
It appears not only did Kobe Bryant die,
but his whole family died as well.
Everybody welcome Rob Dyrdek.
It's not even famous people.
It's just like idiots at the mall.
don't you get those shoes
at the fat store
in their town
they must have
a fat store
where else would they get
such iconic shoes
I looked up
stupid bitch
in the dictionary
and it's had
your name in it
your picture
was displayed below
alright we're done talking
about Werner Herzog
it's Quarantiners
with the sound of the robot folks we're back another week live coming to you in the studio
quarry's weather report it's you know i i said not to wear a jacket last week but then it got
cold again so actually do put your jacket back on although it's sunny now you can appreciate that
And what's important is that mind shape change, mind shift, mind ship shaped.
What?
Mind shape shift.
What?
Edit this out.
Mind shape shift.
Mind shape shift.
I meant to say mind shape shift.
YouTube keeps giving me this notification that says the intros to our episodes keep losing people.
Mind shape shift.
Just like I wrote down.
people actually you could see when they close their computer because they're tired they're
like maybe i'm looking at the screen too much yeah well the issue is that they're tuning in
just to hear vague werner herzog impressions of what we stopped doing them they know to leave
they want to they're here just for the weather report they're here just to know the weather
and when they get it they know what to wear um folks it's america's premier quora based podcast
All three hosts in the studio today, Alex, Jeremy, Claire, that's the three of them.
Claire's finger is reattached.
Oh, yeah.
How's your finger?
Is it back?
It's fine.
It's growing back.
It's at the part where it's itching now.
Oh, no.
You know, when a human body heals, it begins to itch.
I've heard that.
It feels like the premise of a Cronenberg movie of some kind.
Called Itch.
Itch.
My body's one big itch.
It's disgusting for some reason.
Yeah.
I watched Crash for the first time recently in theaters.
It genuinely reminded me of the time in high school
when my friend tried to show me porn.
Like, that's how it felt watching a dark room full of people
watching Crash, Cronenberg's Crash.
It's all just fucking.
I mean, could you imagine watching porn?
With other people?
Gross, man.
Do you normally watch porn in a movie theater?
As often as I can.
It's a cool movie, but it is like,
I think most of the scenes are sex scenes.
That sounds good.
Almost all of it.
It's great.
Watch it.
Check it out.
Isn't he fucking the tailpipe or something?
No, the movie is about people who get really turned on
by the idea of car crashes.
Oh.
You're thinking of the subreddit
where the dragon has sex with the car.
Our dragon's fucking cars.
Our dragon's fucking cars.
You're thinking of our dragon's fucking cars.
Well, I mean, there's also a great
two cars fuck each other in Southland Tales as well.
Okay, so you could have also been thinking of that.
but the hot tailpipe.
One of the tailpipes
turns into an actual vagina.
The best movie ever made.
Check out Southwind Tales.
That's one of the craziest movies
I've ever seen in my whole life.
It's so good.
Werner Herzog here,
do not put your genitals
in the tailpipe.
It is no place,
a barren wasteland.
Now we got a great theme
for you this week.
Every week,
we like to guide the conversation
in the different areas
of this wonderful website quora.com and this week goes into a classical theme that originates in
the bible and that is of course the power of names wait how does it originate in the bible
we also have a bunch of new sounds should we introduce those that's pretty exciting
yeah i mean it is and also how does it how is it in the bible the bible's like mostly names i guess
that's right there's like whole names they're just proving how many names they could list at
When you hear it, when they're like, you see the new book and you're thinking.
Who's that Pokemon?
It's Paul.
Perfect.
Oh, Jesus is friend.
Now I remember.
Let's introduce the other ones throughout the episode.
So we get sort of surprised.
I think that's right.
I wonder if I remember where they are.
There's four.
You don't remember where they are?
There's four.
There's three, because we had this one before.
You can't remember where two other buttons are.
No, I'm cooked, chat.
Okay.
It's Space of the Week.
Hit the Space of the Week button.
It's the power of names.
Space of the Week.
Great.
Every week we go on a different space on the website.
These are somewhat community forums that allow us to engage in discussion on one topic.
This week's community is Alpha Names.
Amazing and awesome names, words, terms.
I love names, words, terms.
Yeah.
The description says A words with the S as a dollar sign.
Now, you recently named someone.
I did.
Did that feel powerful?
It felt extremely powerful.
That's someone's name for the rest of her life until she decides to change it.
The second I got that sucker out of there, I was like,
we got to do more of these so I can fire off more names.
I got a lot of ideas.
What are some other ideas?
Did I not say this on the podcast before?
I really think I want to have a boy named Memory.
Yeah, you said this before.
I have not heard this.
And so he can knock your lights out and say,
remember that and stuff like this.
It's true.
So the way you name your child really dictates how their life is, I think,
and how the world treats them.
Store me in your brain stem.
I'm Memory.
Memory Patak.
Yeah, the last name's just Polish.
There's no way around that.
That's just what your name's going to be.
That's not my decision.
That's a clan.
Would you be offended if your daughter changed her name at some point?
Yes.
I mean, I guess if you changed your whole identity or whatever,
I would have to accept that, but it's just going to be casual.
And this is going to come up a lot today, by the way.
Some of the questions are about this,
but if you're not changing everything about who you are
and you change your name, I'm going to come beat you up.
Oh, no.
I'll wait until you're an adult,
so it's just a domestic conflict and not child abuse.
Yeah, this is like the Tracy Morgan bit that got him in big trouble
where he was like, I would beat up my son if he was gay,
but you're like, I don't care if he's gay,
but just if he changes the cool name I picked out.
If he becomes Chris or something, oh, boy.
Your name is memory.
Who was it who punched their kid
12 times when they
On their 12th birthday
That was Wiz Khalifa and you are referencing a bonus
Episode of the podcast
I did want to say Waka Flocka Flame
You were close
Same time period, same letter even
Just getting hit by your dad
And every time he punches you he goes like Waka Flocka
That would be the perfect one to be hitting
First you get hit by the Waka
Then by the Flocka
every day i came home i'd hear the waka closing the door
you're gonna hear two wakas the first one when i flock you the second one hitting the flame
stupid all right i'm gonna read the description of this bass
oh it's hard to do the sounds isn't it
Nailed it
Okay
Here's
This is alpha names
A words
Powerful and remarkable names
Plus logos
Plus terms
Which begin with
Letter A and beyond
Okay
Oh so are all of them A?
All A
Arctos
All alpha
The first post
From four years ago
Is Arctos
Greek
Arctos
And I guess
I guess it could mean
Arctis as well
And it was a centaur
That fought a lapid
spearmint. I see no kinship
in the eyes of the Arctos.
What Jeremy is referring
to is the picture next to the word Arctos
is a big polar bear. I think Arctos
means bear. It says Arctos.
In Greek. Oh.
Arctos. Oh, maybe not.
Was it Centaur? May also refer to bears in Greek.
Who fought against spearmen. Alright, you know what?
It's one of those two. I gotta give you the credit
it says it may also refer to bears in Greek. This is
a key name and it has much
power.
Now scroll down. I want to see what other names they
got on alpha names if you're a hairy gay guy who also fights spearmen you might be an arctus
folks i am black i am gay i am a hairy spearman who fights bears
okay all right i think we're gonna get a lot of good use out of the andrew cuomo one
i mean it has a high flexibility um okay so the next name on our a names or alpha names amazing
into awesome names, words, terms
is Asteria.
In Greek mythology, Asteria
or Asteri was a daughter of the
titans Coeus and Phoebe
and the sister of Leto.
That's also a story.
What is this? The cast of Friends?
I know.
No, it's not though. It's all the
A names.
I am Phoebe.
I am black.
I don't know why they gave up on the space.
It seems like you'd never run out.
It's so cool.
And this is, I didn't realize Astoria was a Greek mythology thing.
I thought it was just the place in Queens, but I guess they are all Greek over there, huh?
That's true, actually.
If you don't live in New York, they're all Greek over there.
In Astoria, right?
The diners?
You're correct.
Thank you.
Is there anything, do we want to just read more A names?
Yes.
What is the podcast?
Clearly we do.
Scroll, scroll.
All right.
The next one is Affirm.
From Latin, Affirmar.
Affirmar.
Okay, so you would notice that this one is not a name per se,
unless it's like an alternative name like Memory.
It's the name of a company by Sony called Affirm Films.
I would have a boy named Affirm.
You can't just name them words.
Why not?
Are you going to stop me?
Are you going to stop me, a pipsqueak like you?
I'm only imagining your son Memory in fights,
but at one time he hits someone who says,
an elf never forgets.
And in that case, he's punching an elephant.
Yeah, well, his name is memory attack.
He's in a fight at the zoo.
Look how many companies are named Affirm.
Now that makes it pretty alpha.
They've listed every company with it.
Okay, up next is Abjure.
We're done with Affirm.
We're on to Abjure.
Abjure, it's written in sort of a metal band text font.
To renounce an oath.
Now, underneath the metal band font,
there's two pigeons talking
from Zorus.plus which I think
is a website and one's wearing a hat
and he's talking to a graduation cap pigeon
and he says what are other words for abjure
and then the graduation cap pigeon says
recant, retract, force wear, renounce, repudiate
deny, reject, disavow, give up, withdraw
well my favorite thing about the
pigeon with the graduation cap he's also
wearing
sort of a cut out
the crust of a bread
the crust of a bread so picture
the inside of the bread has been sort of eaten
potentially by this pigeon.
If bread is a picture frame,
this bird has jammed his head through the frame
as if to surprise you.
Makes me think he's not the smartest pigeon.
Well, maybe I think in pigeon society
it could display great status
to have a crust around your neck.
True, true.
I want to look at who's running this space
because it's only got,
we haven't said it only has 159 followers
and one contributor.
Hillary.
clinton and the the contribute the one contributor is of course former secretary of state hillary
clinton no it's amon for nom h i bet a lot of you guessed that at home okay this is a classic
amon for nom h this is like extreme schizo quora profile right i mean this guy does have 26 000
followers i don't know how to describe it i mean all of it is like different letters and
capitalizations cryptic joyful templars video freed mason we should we should say he's he's
following 26 000 people you're right i did misread that i did misread that he's only has
2500 you're giving him a major clout bump here i did yeah that's on me dog 2500 quora followers is
not bad uh the numbers on the website you have to consider do scale down uh that way but his posts
are mostly about the letter A
and about being God.
So we've pulled up one here
with a bunch of movie posters on it
that says, I am God.
There's a quote in the middle
from Morgan Freeman that says,
I am God, so it's easy to play him.
They say God is in all things.
So if God is in me, then I am God.
Therefore, I am God.
God does not exist without me.
And then there's a poster
for the Matrix trilogy.
Cool.
A poster with all of the Jokers,
including Mark Hamill's animated Joker.
Oh, Xerxes with King Leonidas
and 300 yeah so some pretty cool stuff here i think that he's saying that he might is pretty
much the same as morgan freeman because he is the god of listing a names right and also he's he's
got a gif of dan harman here i think harman gif uh so he's god he's got a lot of cool god stuff
he's got so many movie memes here three amigos in here somewhere this is a great find
huge this is premium stuff i mean this guy's god now he's just supposed to so many three anchor
man okay he hasn't been around for a while anchor man is that's an a name i'm trying to read what
his like third questions are but they're very confusing what do you do in order to maintain
godly goodness gut 646 within since god is omnipresent if nato is retro arius then what
type of gladiator is russia did art word create fart god or did fart god create art word otherwise
what is your alternative creative scenario if you're watching the youtube jeremy's robot curtains
have descended yeah plunging the room into darkness you want to turn a light on i i don't
know i kind of like this romantic aesthetic we have going but just if you're confused
It's not that a comet has struck New York.
There is a robot curtain.
And sometimes it decides that we got to turn it off down here.
We got to go to bed.
I can open it.
No, no, no.
Robot open curtain.
If that worked, I'd be so impressed.
I would be really legitimately impressed.
It only works if my wife in the other room hears us and plays along, but it doesn't.
For shame, your wife.
Let's move on to our questions.
Yes, please.
This is stressing me out, honestly.
Yeah, maybe you should pull up beta names for me.
All right.
Come on now.
Let's go on to querenting, which we haven't done in a while, by the way.
That's enough.
Now, this first batch of names are going to be a little samey, but they're equally worth diving into.
Okay, so this first question is, what name should I name my son?
His name is Porky Bones Jones, but people are telling me I shouldn't have named him Porky after his great-grandfather's death.
What happened to his great-grandfather?
Porky.
Okay, so for some reason in my head, Porky Bones Jones,
I'm like, that's the worst name I ever heard.
But then when he's like, his great-grandfather is named Porky,
I'm like, that makes sense for some reason.
That's a family name.
That's a name from that era.
Yeah, that's a great-grandpa name.
And then imagine that your last name is Jones.
Are you not putting Bones as the middle name?
Oh, yeah, I mean, it rhymes.
Seems like the obvious choice.
Memory Bones Batak.
I store my memories in my bones.
Something to remember me by when I break yours.
When you do have another kid and it's a boy,
I'm going to be actually mad if you don't name him.
I had a lot of good girl names, too.
They're kind of evading me right now.
What was the website you found that was all spider names for your kids?
Oh, that was pretty samey.
They were all like, name your child Arachne.
Name them.
Spinneret.
Spinneret.
Was it one like Tarantulon?
Yeah, one was Tarantulon.
The boy names were very aggro, I gotta say.
The girl ones kind of made more sense.
Girls are more spidery.
Oh, yeah, I agree with that.
I think all of us would agree to that.
Webb is a good name.
I believe Webb was on the list.
Madam Webb.
I would like to focus for just a moment on Porky Bones Jones.
Please, please, please.
Please, Porky Bones Jones.
We have a response from Robin Parker, who lives in Australia.
So not Anglo-spotted.
Do it in the accent.
I'm not.
I can't do the accent.
It slips into other things every time.
And then people write in and they say, I'm not Scottish or whatever.
Okay, so I'm going to just read hers normal style.
Yeah, normal style.
Australian accent.
Porky is bad.
Nothing wrong with that.
But porky bones.
Bones.
All I'm thinking about is pork, like pig meat.
I don't care what you name your kid, but your kid will grow up with it.
I lost it already.
You don't have to do it, but I do like the idea of an Australian listening and being like,
well, I'm just going to have to throw your son on the Barbie.
He's a damn pork.
I won't be able to resist.
Anyway, so could you imagine being the kid growing up with it?
I get wanting the name after your late loved one, but it's not a name a kid will get by with easily in school.
also and i'm sorry for your loss porky is just an incredibly funny name not one i would suggest
to subject a child to having so robin says porky is too funny to name your your son i do think that
if you name your kid porky there's like a 99 chance that he gets bullied sure but there is a
one percent chance that he's really cool yeah i mean just fucking owns it god forbid that he's a
big fat kid too that's that's the thing if he's a big fat kid it's like it's done he's shooting up
school and not just with you know ham or whatever okay i don't think little little sausages yeah a
gun that's full i don't think that shootings are funny i'm not making a fun light of mass
shootings in any way even ones that with a sausage gun imagining seeing on the news
10 have died in a tragic shooting after porky bones jones brought a gun into school we never
should have let him in uh there is a related question that i did not put in our doc but i
did really like reading out loud which is can i name my son baby lee i like that what about the
first one can i name my new son shoddy yeah is that shoddy or is that like shoddy i think it's
shoddy okay i thought it was like shoddy it's s-h-a-w-d-i-e shoddy is there any meaning for
that isn't shoddy at the party.
Shoddy like a memory bones patak in my head.
It's not the same, though,
because memory is actually a beautiful name as well.
Oh, sorry, sorry, sorry.
It has a beautiful violence to it.
Shoddy is not as nice as memory.
What about like memory, if it's a girl, Memoria?
It'd be like Hilaria.
That's good, but honestly,
I feel like girl names are just better
because you think of like beautiful names
and then they go to girls,
whereas boy names, you don't want them to be too beautiful
because then you'll raise a vain emperor.
What if instead of memory, memory is his nickname,
but his full name is Memorandum?
Oh, I would like that.
It sounds stern when it comes out of your mouth.
Memorandum Bones Patak.
His real name is still Bones.
Bones isn't short for anything.
Shermaine Lauren says,
what's the great grandfather's first name?
Surely his name isn't Porky or is it a nickname?
I assume it was Porky.
It's Porky.
His name is Porky.
In the past, it was very honorable to be named that.
I like someone saying, remember Porky Pig Comics?
I do remember that, and it is what I thought of.
Also, what is the movie Porky's about?
Like a cool guy.
Horny guys.
Who ends up doing a mass shooting at his school.
That is not what it's about.
Horny guys doing a mass shooting at their school.
Unless Jeremy wrote this movie.
I didn't write that movie.
This guy gives a list of Christian names that you could do.
Although, this is from a different question.
and what name should I give to my son?
Well, that's no fun.
Those are no fun at all.
All right, go to the next question,
because we have more name questions here.
These are important answers.
Lori says, horrible name.
I feel sorry for your son.
Paul says, his name is perfect.
Leave it how it is.
That's how I felt as well.
And then Porky's Mama says, that's Paul.
Who's Porky's Mama?
I don't know.
Was this account made for this post?
Okay, hold on.
I have to find out.
I like to think so.
I'm going to first go to the question log
and see who asked this question.
It is Porky's mama.
Okay, all right.
Porky's mama has really good questions,
such as, I don't, a divorce from my crazy hubby Gary.
We're only dating now?
Oh, no.
I just found out,
I just found a dark curly hair in my shower.
I'm a blonde and my hubby is a ginger.
I'm assuming he cheated again.
What do I do?
Oh, no, Porky's mama.
A lot of stuff about her hubby cheating.
So this is like,
Porky is literally that wolf in the Divorced Wolf meme.
Okay, there's actually a lot more info here.
Look at this.
Real quick, before we read the more Porky stuff,
why does your tongue turn the color of the thing you eat,
for example, a popsicle?
And that's got a U in it, so that's an Anglo.
Oh, very relevant.
Porky Jones.
Anglo spotted.
I can't believe that it's an Anglo.
Porky Bones Jones sounds so American to me.
Okay, we need to read some more Porky questions.
Can people respect the backstory of my son Porky's name?
Grow up, people.
Let me be his name as Porky Bones Jones.
I am considering renaming him.
Comment names be unique with the names.
Just want people to know that I am 100% upset right now.
Crying emoji.
Crying emoji.
Crying emoji I usually see in situations where they're cry laughing,
so this is somewhat of a surprise.
Wait, go up, go up, go up.
Oh, sorry.
In this context, she's weeping.
This one right above it.
Hey guys, I'm sorry for the whole Porky thing
It was stupid and I didn't think
It would get this much attention
Me and my friend thought it would be funny
But now we can see that it's clearly not
We won't do this again
We're sorry if you believed
So Porky Bones Jones isn't real?
It's not even real
Well why did I cover it on my important podcast?
And she's Canadian, not English?
I mean, we can't believe a thing she says
She lies on the internet
Porky's mama
I'm sorry.
This was me and my friend coming up with this funny thing.
Jeremy is now Googling Porky Bones Jones like that's going to do anything for him.
You want to see if this is actually a real person?
Yes, I want to see him.
Show me Porky Bones Jones.
I don't know what you thought Google would do for you in this instance.
Make him real.
Google, make him real.
I want to meet Porky Bones Jones.
I do believe in Porky.
I do.
All right, fine.
We'll move on from Porky Bones Jones.
here's another question is reinhardt an offensive name i really want to name my son as reinhardt
now i have not heard anyone be offended by reinhardt i i don't know this name is that
what does that mean it's the name of the tank in overwatch that's what i was thinking as well
and that's the one i know but it is also like an actual name it's not like porky bones jones
oh porky yeah i mean it's a great name i can't believe i believed her lies okay so barbara
I wish I could go back in time to this episode and give myself a note that says do not believe her lies.
She is lying about having a Sunday porky for clout.
Porky's mama is not telling the truth.
She's just trying to get a deal.
She wants to make a coin.
She wants to make porky coin and do a rug pull.
Oh, my God.
Oh, baby.
Sorry, I was looking for the coin.
Oh.
I got it.
Barbara Weatherford Wright says, I would fear that kids would tease him in school.
Is it raining hard today?
How hard are you raining?
What?
What?
Oh, Rain Hard.
It's a long walk to get there.
It's a long walk to a stupid cliff.
There are also sexual implications with hard.
Growing up is hard enough.
Please don't saddle yourself with a name that will invite teasing.
I think that kids will make fun of you no matter what.
They sense weakness in you, and they'll find a way to do it.
They don't need to be clever.
All you need to do is not be weak, and that's all we ask.
I can't imagine a Reinhard being weak now that you mention it.
It has a lot of hard sounds.
i remember kids in like elementary school calling me a nazi because jeremy sounds like germany so
it's not like they need to be like it doesn't have to there's no good name you know what i mean like
they'll find something that's true i i really don't understand the people who uh pick the names
for their kids by thinking of bad nicknames and working backwards it doesn't make any sense you
can make a bad nickname out of anything it's very easy kids are weak it's not all porky bones jones
all the way down when my uh niece was born they were gonna they called her daphne and uh nick's
mom my husband's mom was like don't call her daphne kids will make fun of her and they were
like why she's like i don't know they'll say like daphne duck daphne duck i don't think kids will
know who daffy duck even is they'll say she's daphne duck daphne duck like out of space jam
how hard is it raining today rain hard i claire did did your mom i mean did nick's mom just think
that this like daphne duck was the name of daffy duck no no i think she just thought it was a
similar name to Daffy.
There's also a chance... She heard Daffy.
There's a chance the Warner Brothers
extended universe does include a Daphne
duck. It's like a Daphne duck with big eyes.
Like a daisy duck.
No way to tell. Like a Tiny Toons.
Johann Niehoff says
no, it is in no way an offensive
name. It's an old Germanic name.
So don't worry about that. Actually, Reinhardt
is a great name. Check out Reinhardt.
Check out Overwatch. The latest
title from Blizzard Media
Games. Can we see more from this person?
Do you think that they've asked more questions about names?
I think they probably nailed it and got off of it.
No, no, no, no.
I'm just on quarter to name my son.
All right, this is the third one, and then the last one about name suggestions.
Okay.
How should I respond to people who criticize me for naming my child Peekaboo?
It's a great name, honestly.
Oh, grow up.
I think that's a great name, Peekaboo.
Peekaboo, it's my child.
Peekaboo Kaplowitz.
Here I am, Peekaboo.
There is one famous Peekaboo.
Is there?
peekaboo street was a famous like olympic skier back in the 90s look at that maybe this question
is from the 90s is this question from the 90s it's for it says nine years ago when was that
okay never mind her name is spelled peekaboo this one is p-i-c-a-b-o street whereas peekaboo
in the quora question is like e-e-k if you're surprising a child how you spell it yeah i remember
Maybe because when I was little, I heard it as Peek-A-Boo.
You just really wanted her name to be Peek-A-Boo Street.
I really did.
You just loved the idea of a street full of surprises.
When you're a little kid, you're dying to go to Peek-A-Boo Street.
Oh, my God.
Everyone popping out from behind walls the whole time.
Jumping out of trash cans.
Jeremy getting off of Peek-A-Boo Street.
Peek-A-Boo.
In the early 2000s, an internet joke spread,
which claimed Street made a substantial donation to her hometown hospital,
which named a wing after her the peekaboo icu as a peekaboo icu that's funny to babies that's
hilarious now this has been debunked by snopes no fun allowed no you can't go to a hospital named
that it's not fucking funny and if you were there it would be because you're sick or really hurt
So knock it off.
We have an answer from Thomas Harris here.
Okay, read it.
And he's going to take her down.
From nine years ago, by the way.
I assume, by the way, that this is a woman.
Thomas, I think, is a man.
No, I mean the one who asked the question.
Peekaboo one.
I named my son Peekaboo.
Everyone's so cruel to me.
Thomas says,
Cora can't answer how you respond to people criticizing you
because your response is personal to you.
Anyway, I'm going to preach what everyone else here said
with a little more spice.
Peekaboo is a god-awful name.
Seriously, it must take a great deal of ingenuity to come up with a name so amazingly appalling.
I've read a lot of responses saying it would maybe be a cute name for a baby.
No, not even a baby.
Not even a baby.
Even if you view as your cute little honey bun, it is already a human being with a life of its own.
I'm not entirely sure how it looks in the U.S., but many places have restrictions on naming children, and for good reason.
a name is actually a big deal i think that's true this is bolded a name can mean all the
difference between a normal happy healthy life and a life of misery or resentment that was way
too long a sentence to clap well it's important and so it's bolded and it should be clapped it's
like when people name their dogs and cats peanut butter mr fluffykins or puddings pets and babies
don't make much other names but it does tell something about the ones that gave it that they
you the sole existence of their pet baby as devoted to being their cute cuddly plush toy
no why can't you name a dog peanut butter who cares well because the dog is your thrall
it's your slave and so you can name it whatever you want but your baby is not and i agree with
that i think it would be bad to name a baby mr fluffykins this is what we're talking about today
is the power of names straight up i'm gonna say it's probably bad to put mr in any name for a
baby when you were named jeremy did it turn you into the man you are today was your experience
molded by your Jeremy?
My parents told me
that they really wanted
to give me a unique name
that wasn't too popular.
So they gave me
the name Jeremy
and my mom tells me
all the time
that she regrets it
because it was not
unique enough.
It's not very unique.
She's correct in that.
If that was her goal,
she failed.
She did fail.
Do you think
if your name was like
Jehoshaphat,
you wouldn't have had
to take testosterone
as a child?
Yeah, I think I naturally
would be 6'5".
That's what I'm saying.
You'd be like
a Jack Reacher type.
Yeah, I think I'd be
Jack Reacher.
That's what my parents should have named me.
Jack Reacher.
One word, Jack Reacher.
Jack Reacher.
And he's six foot five as a baby.
People think my name is Jeremiah.
You're reaching for your Jack, Jack.
Oh, my God.
No!
You mean like Jack Reacher Duck, they'd say?
That would be humiliating.
That would be humiliating.
Thank God it didn't happen.
Luckily, I was never bullied as a child.
Anyway, I think Peekaboo is not even that bad.
No, I think it's cute.
I'd say it's more socially normal than Porky Bones Jones.
Claire, were you ever made fun of for your name as a kid?
Nah.
I was going to say, sometimes people say Claire Bear, and I go, okay.
Well, that's cute.
I see no kinship in the eyes of the Claire Bear.
I get you, Claire Bear.
I see kinship in the eyes of the Claire Bear.
Are you a type of bear?
No, no form of me is a bear of any kind.
Left out.
That sucks for you, man.
It's just I wish I was a bear, but I'm not.
People really gravitate to my last name because it was hard to say,
and so I got called my last name frequently as my full name.
P-Tac.
They would say P-Tac.
And that's tough because it doesn't have enough vowels as it should in America.
And so my life was fraught.
And I might as well have been a peekaboo from this stance.
Anyway, I think you can name your baby Pikachu.
Oh, my God.
Peekaboo.
You can name your baby Pikachu?
I think any of these are fine.
Oh, Pikachu's good.
This is from you.
Who's that Pokemon?
It's peekaboo.
It's already paying off.
All the money we invested into that sound is already paying us back.
The buttons write themselves.
Let's go to Quasi-V.
This is our philosophical segment.
The power of names
Do I have to use my real name on Quora?
What is Quora's real names policy?
So I thought this was an interesting discussion
To get into the weeds of the website here
Because this is from 10 years ago
I mean, we are on here as Alberto Mysterio because we had my name and picture and people kept clicking on me and calling me it.
And I didn't like that.
No one ever did that, by the way.
They did.
When we said we were a formal former admiral, they said, yeah, right in New York.
And then they'd like look at my address and stuff.
I didn't like that.
But anyway, so I don't know if this policy started later on into the website's birth or whatever.
but you can tell people are kind of reacting to it 10 years ago.
This is an answer from anonymous who I answered a similar,
but different question.
Taking in mind that there are already rules regarding the contents of any
messages here,
keeping things polite and respectful.
The severe privacy restriction quorum posed on their users is not just
necessary.
It is unnecessary.
Unnecessary is downright shameful.
So does this mean that you used to not be allowed to use your real name?
Yeah,
I think you're right.
I think this is fake.
I think this is some sort of Facebook post that's like, if you don't copy and paste this to 10 different people, Facebook now owns your dog.
And I think people are just falling for a fake thing.
I don't think Quora ever made you use a real name.
There's no real name policy.
No, I don't think they – I think they made you not use – or they suggested you don't use your real name.
But then enough people were like, but I want it to be Facebook.
Yes.
I want to have my friends on here, so I want to put my full name and address.
Quora's real name policy was very similar to China's one-child policy.
And that it was very implemented top-down to establish order in their unruly ranks.
Now, as a Chinese spy, how do you feel about the one-child policy?
Because I feel like you have all these names you want to give to children.
Yes.
That would limit you pretty severely.
It would, but I love that it worked like a dream.
The one-child policy?
Yep.
Okay.
We got lots of one-childs out of that, just like we planned.
Great move, Charlie.
I guess that is a-
Do you have your own one-child policy over there, Alex?
Well, I already have one, so nailed it there.
But I could have up to 10.
Whoa.
Wouldn't that be-
We'd have our own podcast.
Oh, yeah, you could.
It doesn't count if you have them with different people.
Oh.
One per woman.
It's really up to my wife then at that point,
because I'm doing very little work in the whole thing.
It's astounding how little work I do.
But anyway, we got another answer from another anonymous.
I was looking forward to contributing to the many great and informative topics discussed on this site,
but as I am required to use my real name, I can't see this happening.
I was gonna Quora, but now I'm taking my business to Ask Jeeves.
Which is, of course, a search engine.
I'm taking my business to Yahoo Answers,
A thing that will be around for a long time.
That is the year 2017.
As long as we have submitted our real name when opening an account,
we should be able to use any username we desire.
I am a member of many forums and not once have I been expected to use my
real name as my username.
I like to express my thoughts freely and openly,
but respectfully,
and I can't do that under my real name.
There are issues I would like to discuss without running the risk as slim as
it may be of someone I know reading it.
This is a problem with wanting to have a real name rule on a website for perverts.
Because how are you going to write your cuckold fantasies if your wife sees it?
People see where you went to high school.
If a podcast finds your ass and then reads your whole name out loud.
Everyone knows which Costco you work at.
I mean, I wouldn't put my real name on here like I did.
I found that out and I changed it as soon as I could.
Even if this was a rule, what, is Quora going to require you to upload your fucking ID?
Just put a different name.
I think they'd get a lot of respect if they did that.
Just say Bill Smith.
That's super pro to me.
Yeah, Bill Smith.
Isn't Pornhub doing that now?
Pornhub's making you use real names on there?
I think in Texas or somewhere, you have to log in.
Really?
You have to have your ID.
Confirm with the state that you are 18.
Wow.
South Korea style.
Or South Korea, they don't let you watch porn at all.
Really?
Yeah.
Really?
Yeah, there's a national firewall.
And then how do they jack off?
Soap operas.
They watch K-pop.
They watch K-pop Demon Hunters.
And they say, this is close enough.
These are real women to me.
And when they sing songs, I come.
Up, up, up.
Yeah, up, up, up.
My erection goes up, up, up.
This is a film I look forward to watching many times.
Hashtag girl dad.
Hashtag dad of girl.
not just memories dad girl dad
do we have any other good answers on this i like the the back and forth on how extreme people's
opinions are um hazel angus says i got dinged for using a fake name i changed my real name to an
obviously fake one and i find that i find amusing either i had not seen or been told that were
required for real names so far more likely i'd seen it and then completely forgotten whoops so
Oh, Hazel Angus isn't even your real name?
That's such a beautiful name, Hazel.
How many of these funny names I've been reading
haven't been the real ones?
From York.
Yeah, this is somebody from the Easingwald School.
So you know how they are.
Is that even true?
And he knows about homosexuality.
So Andrew Lacombe says,
hey, I'm disgusted that this policy exists.
Okay.
And then talks about being trans.
Oh, so this gets into the discussion
we were going to have,
which is just, can you only change your name
if you're trans?
Right, right.
Which you feel is the one respectable way for your child to change their name if they're transgender.
Well, you got to respect it.
It's off limits.
Right.
I'm not allowed to not respect it because then I'm disparaging a whole group of people.
Yes.
But I really just want you to keep the crazy name I gave you.
Now, this question is from Charlie Cheever.
Charlie Cheever.
Is this his real name?
It says he's the founder of Quora.
Is this the founder of Quora, Charlie Cheever?
Yeah, this is the co-founder of Quora.
Huge lore drop this episode
And he knows about Linsanity
He only has 56,000 followers too
How did we get here?
This is the person who asked the question
Do I have to use my real name on Quora?
You'd think you would know
Charlie Cheever
This is the worst fucking website, man
It's so bad
They haven't used the website
He hasn't used it in five years
Bro thinks he's Charlie Cheever
He cashed out
He's got a blue check
That's crazy
It seems that it's really him
maybe this is like a troll this is someone being like oh i'm trolling the quora mods by using the
name of the founder but he does have a blue check no i think it's him this is the charlie cheever
and he just he didn't know the rule for his own website i think that maybe it just must be so
hard for him to follow because his name sounds so fake it sounds so fake
chat there is no way this is the real charlie cheever this is a fake cloud shark he's aura
farming charlie cheever chat oh yeah he's mogging he's he's web mogging charlie cheever he's core
mogging him um well i don't know yeah i think this website is bad and it's funny to me that
one of the co-founders doesn't know how it works one of his last questions is the apple newsstand
working i couldn't tell you charlie that's from 12 years ago i would say yes so this guy quit i
think he just cashed out he probably makes like ai sex bots now i'm looking he definitely cashed
out he's only 44 and ladies he's single is he single i don't know i just said that is he wearing
braces in that we can go to yeah he is he's well adults with money often get braces so that they
become more handsome um true when did he leave quora i actually had a bunch of co-workers with
This is my last job.
Now I'm remembering.
It was founded in 2009 by Adam, D'Angelo, and Cheever,
which, again, is a great name.
Cheever for short.
D'Angelo stayed on as CEO, but it doesn't say what he did.
No, now he works.
He worked at Facebook.
He worked at BunnyWall.
I think they both worked at Facebook first.
If you're dying to know something about Charlie Cheever,
why don't you go to ccheever.com?
Yeah.
It's on Blue Sky.
That sucks.
It just links to your Blue Sky, where you have 6,000 followers.
Jeremy is crushing your following.
What is Expo?
What is this thing he's doing now that's called Expo to navigation?
You're not on any starter packs, Charlie Cheever.
I'm going on Blue Sky to follow Charlie Cheever because I want to get him on our podcast.
Who's this Pokemon?
Who's this Pokemon?
It's Charlie Cheever.
Who's that Pokemon?
I can DM him.
Should I just DM this guy?
Yeah, DM Charlie Cheever and be like,
What should I say to him?
Charlie, bro, I podcast about your website every week, LMAO.
I know you don't work there anymore, but LMAO.
I'm going to say hello.
Charlie, I have a podcast about Quora.
Would you ever want to come on as a guest?
Okay.
I'd love to get to the bottom of this with this, I'm sure, hilarious individual.
He's one of the founders of Quora.
You don't want to have him on the podcast?
Not if he's going to disparage its good name.
I think he is going to be really good.
Okay, fine.
I think it would be cool to have one of the co-founders of Quora on our website.
I don't think he understands what it's about anymore.
Quora?
Yeah.
Who'd learn so much, though?
He sold it.
He sold out.
We don't know if that's even true.
He sold out.
He's busy with Expo.
Everything's Expo.
He's going to be talking about Expo.
We're going to be Expo raiders.
Imagine the awful version of the social network about Quora, though.
Imagine a website where anyone can post photos of themselves all wet wearing their clothes.
Am I horny for girls?
Okay, chat, we're going to need you and the Patreon to donate at least ten times as much as you're donating now
so we can make this independent film about the beginning of Quora.
I would love that.
That's a really good idea.
I've reached out to Cheve.
We made one 10-minute film.
Why can't we make a major motion picture?
Seems easy.
Cheve.
Come on, Charlie.
All right, Cheve.
Hop on the show.
Let's move to the next question.
Okay.
Wow, that's a huge get.
Well, we haven't gotten him yet.
We've just seen him.
Here's a question.
Do you use a different name at Starbucks?
If so, why?
And what is the name?
Is this a thing many people do?
I know that people will say, I am Charlie Kirk.
Oh.
Or they'll do things like, I'm George Floyd.
That's the only example I can think of of people changing their names at Starbucks.
Okay, well, there is a comment here from someone who says, yes, they do.
Because their name is Isis.
She says, my name is Isis.
Sometimes I feel like I shouldn't use my real name in fear I'll get some shit from random people
or because I'll be put in the spotlight by strangers.
Now, I get that.
I don't think that if I worked at Starbucks, I would think that this person was trolling.
Yeah.
But it is really funny to imagine going to a Starbucks and being like, what's your name?
And the person says, Isis.
It's also nine years ago.
How dare you?
Isis was more around then at the time.
Yeah.
If your name's Isis, you got to have a quick nickname up your sleeve.
Isil.
You're Izzy.
Oh, yeah, that works.
Izzy.
At the counter or Isil, which would also be fine.
That's what Barack Obama calls you.
I think it's cool to change your name at Starbucks if it is like you have an evocative name like Kevin Spacey or Isis.
I think it's like.
Peekaboo.
You don't have to say Spacey.
If your name is Kevin, by the way.
If your name is Kevin Spacey, you can just say Kevin.
I think Kevin Spacey should probably change his name at Starbucks.
If I was named Memory, I would probably change my name at Starbucks.
If I was Kevin Spacey at Starbucks, I would make them walk me into my Frank Underwood impression
by having them say Frank Underwood, and then I would knock on the counter and I'd say,
you mean me?
And then I'd do my whole thing and I'd get all the attention that I love.
I do like the idea of someone who gets a weird rush out of changing their name at the Starbucks.
Going to Starbucks and being like, my name?
Oh, it's Bill.
Like the movie Crash, but instead of having sex in cars, it's changing your name at Starbucks.
Yes.
It would be as weird.
There are a lot of victims of that, too.
That could be dangerous.
It's not worth the risk.
Ride inside the subway.
I mean, I've talked about this so much on this podcast, how I hate when people know
who I am at places.
So I can see the appeal of doing something like this, but those people don't know my
name.
They just know my order.
Oh, yes.
Say his order.
Hashtag say his order.
Oh, but is it Mr. Ice Coffee again?
Right.
Back again for an iced coffee, you sick fuck.
No, they're all very nice.
This is the problem.
Yeah, they want to be part of your family and you want to push them away.
Yeah.
Why won't you let them in?
I don't want I mean I'm not an extrovert like you it's not being extroverted it's just
talking to people you see all the time you're the most extroverted person I've ever met that's
that can't be true that is true it can't be true scroll down I want to see what Robert Puckett
said oh he's probably gonna say that thing about the man from Nantucket oh he said if there's
another male in front of me ordering I'll often say I have the same name as that guy
so I'll just give you my last name which is Puckett you don't need that much backstory
just say Rob
and then he says
Puckett
then he spells it out
and then he says
then I wait
my last name
looks like it sounds
you know
rhymes with bucket
or fuck
well you get it
they will either stumble
trying to pronounce
um
Poo-shay
I'm not trying
I'm not trying to be edgy
or anything like that
but I do think
that someone should
kill this man
I don't think
this has ever happened
either
I don't think
anyone has called you
Poo-shay
at Starbucks
this is projection
you're like
you know how gay
and French
they are at Starbucks
they'll probably
call me poochie my name's poochie it's pocket even though i said pocket my name is bobby lee
baby lee my name is baby lee i always every time i go to the starbucks i do say my name is porky
bones jones and i'll have a coffee thank you i didn't know that that was the best name until
this episode porky bones jones i have not heard a better one no no that's the winner so far
And we are deciding which one is the best day.
It lights up my life.
Have we played all the new sounds?
Yeah, we had three of them.
Okay, okay.
Just making sure.
There weren't that many.
Wait, we need one for when we stumble upon Australians.
Yeah, we probably do.
Just so we don't have to do the accent every time.
Aussie spot.
I pray I can stop doing it.
It doesn't sound good.
Who's that Pokemon?
It's Australians.
It's Porky Bones Jones.
Fine.
Okay, go down.
We can't read more of these.
Okay, fine.
Yeah, people are just lying now.
Don't go on Quora and lie.
We're trying to get to the bottom of something.
They always lie.
Good morning.
Welcome to Starbucks.
What can I get for you today?
Me, good morning.
I'd like a double tall nonfat with whipped peppermint mocha.
Barista, okay, that's a double tall nonfat with whipped peppermint mocha.
And what's your name?
Me, Alicia, followed by great, Lisa Scribbling, or great.
And how do you spell that?
Oh, my God.
It's so crazy.
It's so hard.
So what do you say?
What's your favorite?
Okay, okay, okay.
My wife is named Alyssa, and this does happen to her,
and it makes me laugh that people get her name wrong,
and they think she's Alicia.
Who cares?
Well, I think it's cool, and it makes her Latina.
People call my wife Claro or Clare.
Claro.
People say Clay a lot.
Clay.
That's how I say my name sometimes.
I got Clay Aiken on the brain.
Clay is a good one.
My name's Clay Aiken.
All right, this is the big philosophical discussion of the episode.
are only transgender people allowed to use the term dead name.
Now, I know one example of a guy who changed his name.
I also do.
Silly Willie style.
I also do.
And he would often complain about being dead named.
This was my friend who had a normal name that a big hockey player had.
And so he changed his name to Sherm.
And then everyone in the world said, I'm not calling you Sherm.
Well, he changed.
He's not Sherm anymore, though.
No, he gave up because he was stuck.
He quit comedy.
Well, he quit comedy, but also I think unrelated just that he wanted to be Sherman.
It wasn't cashed on.
Sherm?
Do you not know this guy, Clint?
You know this guy?
No, it wasn't Sherm.
He was a comedian in New York.
I'm not trying to talk shit around him.
This is the only example I can think of.
He did not change his identity.
He was just like, I'm Sherm, like weed.
And then people were like, you're not, you can't be weed.
When I was in college.
Your name isn't weed.
When I was in college, there was this comedian named Kevin who was sort of known legendarily for having a giant cock.
That was his big thing.
He had children with many women all around upstate New York.
He eventually moved to the city.
He passed away a few years ago.
But he changed his name to Xavier.
Xavier.
And he was very specific.
It's not Xavier.
It is Xavier.
No last name.
and people would call him Kevin all the time
and he would be like, don't dead name me.
And I was always like, I respect you.
I'm going to call you your name.
You are not trance.
You are running from the government.
You changed your name because the government
is after you for child support bills
because you have so many babies.
Well, that's kind of the most valid reason
to change your name is you're an outlaw.
I guess I would make an exception for outlaws.
He was just like...
You can't use the term dead name
for being an out when you're an outlaw i think you should use a different term like uh kevin is
dead the police are after him right i mean look r.i.p kevin you you gave me you paid me the first
time to do comedy many times over uh we miss you but i think the lesson is you can't change your
name to weed xavier if you change your name to weed people are gonna just think hey you're not
you can't do that to weed yeah you can't be sherm that's a cool name for weed oh i don't know i
Yeah, you ever smoked that sherm?
That's me.
Can you play the Who's That Pokemon?
I can, but it's far away.
Who's That Pokemon?
It's sherm.
It's sherm.
Thank you.
You really got my ass there.
Okay, it's sherm.
Back and forth on this.
This is for an answer from Erica, who's a lesbian icon.
She says, this is complicated because allowed means there are rules
and there is a group that applies punishment when those rules are broken.
There are no rules about self-naming except for certain rules,
names, and some countries.
I agree with Erica.
It is a no-man's land of chaos and anarchy where names are concerned,
which is why there's so much power in the power of names.
She says there are a lot of reasons why people change their names.
Marriage and divorce are probably the most common.
Oh, their last names, right?
I didn't even think about last names.
Yeah, that's true.
But I can think of a number of legitimate reasons why a person might leave their birth
name behind them legally.
A person who grew up in an abusive home, perhaps, who needed to remove that name from their
life in order to heal seems like a valid reason.
Totally.
So, like, if Sherm was trying to heal and was like, I would feel much better if I was
named after Weed, then we would all have to respect that.
But because it was just a cool, catchy name he was trying to catch on, it was unacceptable.
Are we all in marriages where we didn't change, no one changed their last name?
Is that over, changing your last name?
Is that done?
We're big city liberals.
I think for the elites on the coast.
Oh, okay.
Maybe you're right.
Maybe you're right.
I didn't have the political capital to own my wife after we married.
My mom begged my wife not to change her last name because she thinks my last name is bad.
What's wrong with your last name?
Because it's too long.
It's not even that long.
She says it's too long.
I only have one rule for these nets is that I'm against the hyphenates.
Oh, yeah.
You can't do that.
I think it's a road to nowhere.
No, don't be hyphenating.
my dad almost changed he wanted to they didn't like my my last name so much that they almost
just made our last name nelson oh isn't that crazy gross they were almost just like fuck it let's
just name it a new thing oh like the simpsons yeah like the simpsons gross might as well be
sherm my mom didn't take my dad's last name neither did mine because i think she didn't
like the way it sounded and i don't think he cared my mom was sort of like a uh i don't know
80s feminist and just was like i am not taking that name well it doesn't it implies ownership
yeah yeah yeah so that's that makes her really mad um my wife was very into the idea of hey let's
just pick a new name but i thought my dad was saying i thought that would offend my entire
living family what would you have gone with if i changed my name what would you have picked she
really wanted to do some hippie shit she wanted to be like the rainbows or something oh yeah you
It can't be Alex Rainbow.
Alyssa's real into kind of like 70s leave and join a rainbow cult style kind of thing.
Do you worry about your wife joining a cult?
I do.
I worry that she'll run away and join a cult.
She'll be doing yoga day in, day out.
You guys should be like the Obsidian family.
That's good.
If we just spend a moment just thinking of cooler names.
Obsidian is really good, though.
The Obsidian.
Is it too late for you to do that?
That's my son, Memory Obsidian.
See?
Memory Bones Obsidian.
Oh, that's a really good name, Alex.
Because I know you guys like crystals and shit like that.
You got me there.
I would love that shit.
You crazy motherfuckers.
This question was asked by somebody who only has two questions,
and this was the second one, then they left.
They just wanted to know about dead names.
And she also said, how long have you been drawing for?
So long.
That was her other question.
These are all great questions.
Boy, since I was a boy.
Do we want to do one more or do I just do a listener?
Forbidden knowledge.
This is our paranormal and super spooky style questions in our forbidden knowledge segment.
The question is, what are some names of witch covens?
Oh.
What are some names of witch covens?
This is an answer here from Kurt Brasier.
please understand that there are those who would harass or in some way harm witches wherever they
may be found as a wiccan witch was oath bound to do no harm less in defense or for the greater good
i cannot give you an i'm gonna jump in there you're thinking of doctors
doctors have to know what are doctors if not a witch uh i guess that's true when they put that
cold little circle on your chest and you say i don't want your witch magic on me they do heal
the sick and all that so that's kind of what witches can do yep kind of a spell uh he says
why you ask if i an uncaring act gave you the actual names of a coven or circle and they were
attacked or in some way harmed by the dissemination of that information and i carry a portion of the
karmic responsibility for that act that is known as ethics do not name a witch coven
that was the right lane for the claps real witchcraft is for adults and there are real
dangers in this world there are also real repercussions for our thoughts words and
actions let's pause there for a second is real witchcraft for adults do you find that to be true
is real what about baby witches well they're gonna hex the moon that's what they did right
the baby witches hexed the moon and that's why we're in like the war in iran or whatever right
yeah i mean that was a while ago i think everything that happened since then is probably a result of
the baby witches who hexed
the moon. I mean, frankly,
I think it was right before the Ukraine war started
and things have been really bad
since then. It's not been good. The moon
is angry. Which moon?
There are many
moons in the sky.
No, there
are not, Claire.
We have Earth's moon.
What are the other moons in the sky?
Other planets have their own moons.
You can't see them.
I think they did the wrong
moon they clearly did our moon because everything's all fucked fucked up here now yeah you're right
they hexed our damn moon i'm gonna need a link to this uh story about the baby
whatever very skeptical about baby witches you don't believe that baby witches hex the moon
claire i just need you to i need a source that i can do my own research with source the devil
what's going on with hexing the moon okay we're on the cut which is mostly articles about uh
whether it's too late to have a baby if you have a job oh okay so this is actually from 2020 so
it's before the ukraine war is but it is when you know everyone died of a horrible disease
it's when everyone kind of went insane because of covid and baby witches started hexing the moon
so the article here is parenting have tiktok witches actually hex the moon i don't know if
i want to read that much of this i don't think you need to read any of it just send it to send
it to me i'm the one who wants to know this could be an email i i'm gonna learn about the war in
granada apparently that was off mike baby moons oh that was off mike yeah you should know that
claire is learning about the war in granada from 1980 whatever i just want to see one tiktok is
that so much to ask but they're all currently unavailable i think i think because that was
china tick tock and it was removed that was pre yeah let's go to a listener a yeah i mean do we
have any witch coven names or oh before one can become involved in the magical world of witchcraft
one must understand the relationships of ethical decision making and the consequences of our
actions blessed be storm oh you said blessed be like it's not kurt's main sign off that he does
for all of his answers
where he goes,
Blessed be!
Go down,
because there are some people
who just have lists, I believe.
I want to see a list of coven names
before we move on.
Therian Tiberius Ware has some ideas.
That fucking rules, man.
In my experience,
groups are usually referred to
as the group.
Okay.
Shut up, Tiberius Ware!
Read the one before it.
That one has better names.
All right, Paul.
Okay.
a witch named Paul
says for the most part witch covens
and I refer only to covens of witches
not Wiccans don't have names
as witches in working groups we don't
need names. This feels like something from the
DSA. It's like my name
in my coven is my name
I don't refer to myself as Raven's Heart Moonsong
because my name isn't my true
name and I don't need to
protect it. We might if no other covens
exist in the town we meet
and go by that so I might
go by Wolverhampton coven
or perhaps by a place we also use
so white ladies priory
might be a possibility. Where's white
ladies? This is very on the nose
for a coven name.
Woo!
Do the Seinfeld
one now. We have it.
I'm exhausted.
I was going for
Anglo spotted because he said white ladies
which just sounds like it must be an Anglo spot.
All covens are white lady covens.
That's pretty good.
But anyway, I like Paul's answer that they're named after their location.
That's pretty good.
None of them are called like the Brotherhood or anything or like Falcon's Wing.
I mean, this guy said that his name is Raven's Heart Moon Song.
That's fucking awesome.
According to Quarrel, your name's Paul.
Dumbass.
Just wait till we get Cheever in here.
Oh, my God.
Oh, I should check to see.
At the end, if I remember, I'll check.
I'll check to see if he answered me.
let's go to a listener question here okay please write in with your quora style questions
to quarators at gmail.com this is our question segment is that okay
is that okay um we honestly have so many fucking is that okay questions i wonder if maybe we should
just do an episode of them but for the bonus i don't know for now i'm just gonna click a random
So I work for a company that I found out recently has maybe a half or a little less than half of the board of directors named in some way in the Epstein files.
Is that OK? Can I keep working here?
for context i have a hard time finding uh employment as a trans woman and this is
probably the best job i've ever had with full benefits i don't know how to feel thank you
i'm gonna say absolutely uh the epstein files thing is just that all rich people are in a
secret group eating babies so there's no way out of that you're just gonna find a different job
with a different guy if they're not in it they're just smarter than the ones that you have yeah
They're probably cooler, too.
I just mean, like, they know how to not be in those emails.
Sure.
Also, just so sweet getting paid.
Found it.
Big man.
So that's, I guess, our answer is resolutely that you've got to keep working for these evil people.
Sorry.
And we support you in your endeavor doing that.
Generate profit for them as you are their thrall.
Not unlike a dog named Peanut Butter.
take heed of this wisdom take heed of that and change your name to mrs fluffy kids
at work my name is mrs fluffy kids uh i do not call myself raven's boon moonshire or whatever
sure because people know you as like burger king's coven i'm gonna look up real quick if
this guy answered us if chief answered us checking in on the chief last second here um i think he
may have blocked me wow that was quick no no maybe not maybe not it was just it was just blue sky
not working okay well no update on that then but great to check in that's going to be the episode
for this week thanks so much for listening to quarators we're here every week checking in on
newpartofquora.com. If you want to
support the show, please become a patron
on patreon.com

over there. Apparently this week we are going on Nextdoor
again. Nextdoor.
Look out for local controversies.
It's been a while since we went on Nextdoor, I think.
It's been a while.
I can't imagine just getting the chief in on
Nextdoor. I bet he has a lot to say
about that. I'm turning this
all off. Alright, you know what?
I'm just going to be quiet for a while.
