This is a HeadGum Original. The $5 meal deal at McDonald's means you get to pick between a McDouble or a McChicken. Then get a small fry, a small drink, and a four-piece McNuggets. That's a lot of McDonald's for not a lot of mcdonald's for not a lot of money get the five dollar meal deal today prices and participation may vary for a limited time only you gotta be kidding me with that we're back of all the days to be back on a Thursday, we choose a Thursday to be back on. On a thirsty Thursday, no less. It's insane.

Yeah. I'm not going to say whether we're recording in the same room or on a Zoom. I want the people to figure it out. They'll have to find out for themselves. Whether it sounds like we're in the same room, that means I'm a good editor. And if you think we are in the same room and we are, it means that it's noticeably how bad the editing is in the other episodes. Let's see you edit around this. I'm going to get up.

Okay. This is good. Okay. I'll do some soundscaping. I talk into your mic. Yeah. They won't know the difference between the two. Will they not?

No. Really? Yeah. But they'll hear me kind of walking back to mine. That's right. So if I was able to pull that off in post. Some kind of crazy Foley. Insane to have the audacity to sort of Foley clogs on a carpet.

Clogs on a carpet. We Foley'd this episode. That's right. With Dave Foley. All right. I figured I would give you a quiz that's more, with Dave Foley. Alright, I figured I would give you a quiz that's more up your alley than mine.

The Helix Sleep Quiz? No, that one is just sort of your preferences on whether you sleep on your side or not. I aced that one. Yeah, this one's more about knowledge that extends beyond whether or not you snore sometimes. Okay. Okay. Do you remember what you got on your SATs um vaguely i think it

was it was either in the 12s i think it was 12 something which is above average for sure of average but not great and then do you remember what you got on your math v english yes i remember i think i got like a 660 in verbal wow okay some something in the fives 550 yeah the fact that you can't back into what you did on the math means you didn't get very good on the math actually i really struggle with numbers and i wish you wouldn't fortunately this is an sat vocab test that I found. Yes. So I said, you know what? I'll spare Jake the algebra. Why put him through that again?

Uh-huh. Very nice. Let's give him some words that he knows or doesn't. Yeah. Okay. Cool. I feel like if I could do the SAT verbal again now, I would do better. Interesting.

I would do worse because there were so many words that i just didn't know that i was like memorizing because it's like here's a list of 500 words that often come up on the sats yeah and they're words i don't really know for example the first word which i didn't know uh is define circum circumlocution whoa circumlocution circumlocution. Whoa. Circumlocution. Circumlocution. Yeah, it's to evade. Okay.

It's unaware. It's to delete material that is forbidden. Okay. Or uproar. Interesting. Very interesting. I remember the tips of like breaking down words. Remember that? Like, oh, this, it's the Latin root that means one thing.

So you can help figure it out. No, I don't remember that. I'm sure I learned it. I had an SAT. I took an SAT prep course. Yes, exactly. And they're like, circa means this. So like if you see that word and there's a definition that has that.

I didn't retain a lot because it was right around the time that I got my driver's license and I had a crush on someone in the class. I see. So that sort of everything went away. Yeah. That ate up a lot of time. Does the word even sound familiar to you? Circumlocution?

Yeah. No. Okay, yeah. Didn't really ring true to me either. But just to give you a hit, circum means like to go around. That's right. Yeah.

It's like circumnavigate something yes so circumlocution locution do you know what locution would be the root that's that i think that's the part that i didn't know yeah uh look what does locution mean i think it means like with talking words oh yes you're a very loquacious speaker yeah i think so uh so with that in mind do you want to say to evade unaware, to delete material that is forbidden? Oh, this is the test. Or uproar, yes. All right, wait.

So give it to me again. Sorry. It's just asking you to define this word. I thought you were giving me an example. Like, for example, here's a word I didn't know. And it means these things. And you just said four things. Because they all kind of sounded the same.

You're getting mad at me. And I need you to sort of like, I'm just the proctor. Let's eliminate uproar. And I'm not mad. I'm stressed. I don't test well. It's 7 a.m on a saturday so i'm sorry if i'm not feeling sharp right now and i want to do well in front of sam i have to get into fucking connecticut state and it sounds like i was trying to impress my dad whose name is sam but that was also the name of the girl that i had a crush on i see

that was for the person i was concerned with on the day to evade to so it's it again to evade unaware or to delete material that is forbidden circumlocution evade unaware and delete material that's forbidden i guess evade let's go evade correct nice savage hit very good the new word is to cajole cajole that means to like rally people to your cause okay so do you want to say to push into something to delete material that is forbidden what is fucking hell bent on deleting forbidden shit to talk into hillary rotten clinton's emails for example or unintentional um push into whoa it gave me a red honk what yeah could you wait what was it what were the options to delete material that is forbidden.

To push into something. Yeah. To talk into something. Oh, talk into something. I didn't hear that one because I was doing this fucking Hillary thing. Oh, fuck me. Yeah. That's obvious.

Push in. I was using that like metaphorically. Mr. Hurwitz, please sit down. Mr. Proctor, I beg you to see my side of things. First of all, you didn't even sign up for the SAT. The time wasn't actually up. I can go back and fucking fill in another bubble. That's not how the SAT, you don't find out as you go along.

No, yeah, this is just a quiz. No, it's just a quiz. A sample. It's just a quiz to you, baby. But I have a perfect fucking verbal score, 660. It doesn't get better than that. And did I mention my reading comp was poor? Depreciate.

Okay. Unceasing. No. To expose the falseness of. No. To lessen in value. Yes. Nailed it.

Ameliorate. Yes. Do you know what that means? So to improve is one of the options. Okay. To make like new again to send or thrust with great vigor to rebuke or remonstrate at length um so what are the first two to improve okay and to make like new again i guess improve yeah it's weird because both of them sort of sound like you're making something better.

Yeah, but I'm trying not to take things metaphorically like I did with push into. Nailed it. Nice. But I digress. Yes. The next word is digress. Very good. Uproar.

Yes. To talk into something. That's right. To pacify. Right. To stray from a desired topic. I think it's that one. Final answer, last last that's correct on my sats i

filled out every bubble because i figured they would just scan for the bubble that was like correct that's smart and i got a perfect score that's interesting so i went to berkeley yeah and then i got there and i'm like okay what a risk time to sort of go that actually does you deserve to get into college i guess the Scantrons in college were different and I failed out. Right. Yeah, I said every answer. Yeah, you deserve to get into college for being that smart, but then you deserve to be kicked out for kind of relying on that.

That actually kind of did happen to me in high school. I'll fess up now since hopefully the statute of limitations is over. But in ninth grade, our teacher would use, like for for the tests every chapter would just use the teacher's edition test so like somebody like just got a teacher's edition of the book like this is every test and every answer i'm like all right great i'll just read it memorize the answers and literally like put them down and get a few wrong on purpose to throw them off my set smart but literally cheating textbook definition of cheating but got an a in like world history wow but everyone who got an a in that maybe it was us oh no it was world history everyone who got an a in that class got bumped up to ap us oh so you got punished for it yes

then i took ap history and like that was really dense really hard there was no teacher's thing it was like essays where you had to actually analyze actually analyze i think i got like a b minus one of my worst grades so yeah can my high school take away my diploma for fessing up to cheating uh yes okay berate and they're here no way that's right milken jewish academy principal rubell holy shit how'd you know i was here i thought you retired 21 years ago uh to berate okay to replace no to rebuke no to soothe no and to play side by side oh okay i thought it was gonna be so i guess it's rebuke it's rebuke that's correct. Agrandize. Okay. To make big. Mm-hmm. Wise.

Mm-hmm. Unceasing. Mm-mm. And finally, to make like new again. To make big. Agrandize. That's right. Self-agrandizing.

That's right. That's why I knew it. Destitute. Poor. And you're poor for asking me that question. Utterly impoverished. Mm-hmm. Didn't even need the other choices.

Here's another circum. Yes. Circumvent. Circumvent. Yes. To restrict. No. To overthrow.

Uh-uh. To entrap. No. And to praise. Fuck. These all sound like no's. Read them again. To restrict. Mm-mm. To overthrow. to restrict to overthrow to entrap slash surround oh and then slash surround you say yeah and that so it's that one it's

entrap slash surround it's correct wow that's really not what i thought circumvent meant i thought it was like you could circumvent the rules. I guess that's getting around the rules. Go around. Interesting. Okay. Botch. Huh? Botch. What'd you call me? Botch.

To make ineffective or invalid. To make new again. To remove forbidden words unaware to restrict with chain or to ruin botches ruin last one D

I know a lot of these words here's one that I might not know daunt D-A-U-N-T scare to send or thrust with great vigor no to very thin or wasted away no UNT. Scare. To send or thrust with great vigor. No. To very thin or wasted away.

No, that's gaunt. Trying to trip me up. Useless. And lastly, to discourage or intimidate. That is the one. To daunt. I know when something is daunting, but I've never said, he daunted me. Yeah.

I will daunt you. Yeah. I will daunt you. Yeah. Do I daunt you, sire? Absolutely daunted. Blatant. That one's pretty easy. Yeah. Too easy.

To praise, to pacify, offensively stated, or to make big, or to increase. I guess offensively stated. That's correct. Assuage. Assuage. Assuage. For a long time, I pronounced this assuage. Because it kind of sounds

like what it is to reassure. I thought it was to put a sausage in your ass. Instead of a sausage, it's an assage. Is that an option? i know it wouldn't be right but i want to know if they put that in there to throw a student off uh it's not on here to soothe is on here though that's to send or to soothe by doing great vigor great vigor and

thrusting with what to restrict with chain or shackle lastly, to stick a sausage in your ass. I didn't read that one. D. Or totally offensively stated. Let's go with soothe. To soothe. A swatch. That's correct.

Oh, this one's easy. To censor. Come on. Yeah, to delete material that is forbidden. Nice. Very thin. To ridicule. Or to rub hard a

to what to rub hard this test is hot yes deviate maybe this sat is easier than we thought yeah to lessen in value to expose unlucky or to turn aside from the established ways uh d turn aside from the established ways i would have turn aside from the established ways. I would have 100% if it wasn't for that fucking push into something versus talk into something. That's right. I obviously knew what it was. I feel like anyone listening would be like, Jake's gotten a perfect score. A-V-O-W.

Huh? That's the word. A vow? Correct. To ruin? No. To kick out? No. To state? No. To kick out? No. To state? Or willful

damage? C. To state to be true. A vow, yes, that is correct. Here's an interesting one. I vow I have a perfect score. There's only four words left on this quiz.

Alright. This one's kind of interesting. Yeah. Brooke. B-. This one's kind of interesting. Yeah. Brooke. B-R-O-O-K. Oh, like Brooke Adele. Utterly impoverished? No.

To put up with? Mm-mm. Unfriendly? Mm-mm. Or a villain? Mm. I wouldn't know this one. Brooke.

Brooke. It'd be weird to name your kid Brooke if the answer is unfriendly or a villain yeah wait all right so it's not impoverished what's the one after that to put up with or tolerate i brook him yeah i think it's that one do you brook with him is that what you say i feel like i've heard that like they broke a deal or they broke something i should say it's spelled b-o-o-r-k-e-u-z-x so it's not a word okay so you're going with to put up with what's the what's the one after that unfriendly because you have a perfect score on the line yeah i'd hate for you to guess wrong at this juncture no i'm gonna go put up with correct yeah good news the next one's a normal word instead of a word you've never heard of

condone oh yeah allow very thin no unceasing to approve yes okay okay deride utterly impoverished no to surround to gather or to ridicule that one d correct and 95 what the fuck you know i have 100 you know i have 100 you did the rotten i really did the rotten i missed one of the fucking clues all right let's go let's take a break and come back with some harder words finally kick it up a notch thank you to draft kings for sponsoring this episode of our show hey yo draft kings the nfl is back that's correct and the best part of football season is checking out the post-game stats i want to know which whiteout scored more than two tutties, which QB threw for less than 350 yards,

The word is fidelity. Oh. Loyalty? Yes.

Okay. That's correct. The word is germane. Germane. I remember this one was either on my SAT or on a practice SAT because I remember there was a quarterback named Joe Germane. I'm like, oh, this is how I'll remember what this word meant. Oh. Or I didn't know.

Something about the word germane is reminiscent to my actual high school days. See if you remember. But now I don't remember. Perception after something happens. Relevant. Regret. Or not serious. Ooh.

So it's relevant or not serious. I think those are the two options for me i think i know what it is now now that i said it it triggered something in me i feel like that's germane like you know that's what you can hear that's germane that's german main think of it that way oh fuck i don't know this is this is a shot in the dark. Let's go not serious. I think it's relevant. It's relevant. Fuck. There goes my 660.

No, man. You're still like at 790 at this point. I actually remember when I was doing practice SATs, you can get some wrong in verbal and still get an 800. Really? Because that's how little people get it all correct. Wow. It's like, if you got one or two wrong, we'll still give you the 800. That's awesome.

But in math, if you get one or two wrong, it's over. There's too many people getting every single one right. Jesus. Plagrant is the word. Yeah. I obviously know what this one means. Native? Let's go to the next one.

Native, possible, out in the open or puzzle c out in the open that's correct and the germane one is relevant it is germane to this conversation flippant yeah that that one's like not serious that's the glib that's right yeah it's not serious one of the options yeah it was that that was correct um lax as in i'm being lax about this test i actually care a lot not strict yeah that's correct impromptu okay it's funny which sat words we use during the course of a day like some of them are all with the time i say impromptu. Okay. It's funny which SAT words we use during the course of a day. Yeah. Like some of them are all with the time I say impromptu, and then some of them germane I just haven't heard in 20 years. Right.

Yeah. It's like you just got to hope to get lucky. Some of them are definitely in our vocab. In the spur of the moment, outward appearance, quiet, or reserved? Number one. A. On the spur of the moment. That's correct.

Spur of the moment. Guys. Nice. On the spur of the moment. That's correct. Spur of the moment. Guys. Nice. Outward appearance of the dress. Picky. Regretful. Perception after something happens. A.

Outward appearance. That was not even me thinking. I was just saying A for a really long time. The answer is B. Really? No, it was outward appearance. That was not even me thinking. I was just saying A for a really long time. The answer is B. Really? No, it was outward appearance. Glut. Glut.

Forget everything you know about gut. This is glut. Glut. Overwhelming, outdated, overfilled, or occurring at irregular intervals. Let's go overfilled because I feel like glutton is. That's correct. All right, good. Oh, here's an interesting one.

Insurgent. Insurgent. An insurgent. Is it practical? Mm-mm. Mysterious? Mm-mm. Persistent?

Mm-mm. Or rebellious? Rebellious. Just like the insurgency. Yes. And now we know. Yes, exactly. That's why it's called.

You were there. You stormed the Capitol. How fucked up is that? On January 6th, I saw you. I was on CNN and I could have sworn to see you. When the camera swung around, you pretended like you were a reporter, but you did have a MAGA hat on. I was dressing up as an OANN newscaster. All right, here's one I don't know.

So you're going to have to buckle in. Let's do it. Laconic. Laconic. Laconic. I've heard that word before. Right. So is it reserved?

Is it peculiarity of temperament? Is it overly submissive? Or is it reserved is it peculiarity of temperament is it overly submissive or is it persistent i think it's it's either a or c it's reserved or overly i think it's overly submissive overly submissive i think so it's reserved oh i can get it down to those two though fuck hell now i'm zeroing in on the 660 indigenous yeah i know this one native yes of course oh here's a tough one euphonious euphonious e-u-p-h-o-n-i-o-u-s this is one you can maybe deconstruct and sort of figure out the roots yeah euphonious pleasant sounding that's the one yeah that's correct the phone is make it's the that's the noise anything with pho yeah yeah it's good that you can sort of figure it out yeah i can sort of figure all of them out The phone, that's the noise. Anything with P-H-O-N.

It's good that you can sort of figure it out. I can sort of figure all of them out. Not when it's like Brooke or Laconic. I didn't get Laconic, I didn't get Germaine. Yeah. Germaine. Incongruous. It's like inconsistent.

They don't add up. So practical? No. Ointment? Mm-mm. Loyalty? No, no. Or not fitting together?

Perfection! Oh, this is interesting. Gadabout. Gadabout? Like a Josh Gad who goes about. Yeah, like a Gadabout town. Yeah. A puzzle or a mystery?

Mm-mm. On the spur of the moment? No. Relevant? Mm-mm. Or one who flits about to social activities? That's gotta be that one. It's where the about is in there. Yeah.

Yeah, that's correct. And that's what Gatsby is from. Idiosyncrasy. Ornate? No. Mysterious. Peculiarity of temperament. Yes.

That's correct. Harbinger. Ooh, that's like an omen, something that's hinting at something to come. So predictor? Yes. That's correct. Interesting. Here's a weird one.

Garbled. Garbled? Yeah. I don't know that. It's like muffled. That's right. Mumbled or mixed up. Yes.

I say garbled sometimes. M's right. Mumbled or mixed up. Yes. I say garbled sometimes. Maudlin. Maudlin. That's kind of like Charlie Chaplin style theater. That's correct. Maudlin. Out in the open, possible, opposing forces, or overly sentimental. Ooh, modlin.

That is like a theater term, isn't it? Modlin? I thought it was. Maybe it is. I just don't know. So it's, tell me, out in the open. I'm afraid I can't repeat the choices. If this were a test, I'd be looking at the words over and over again.

Of course you can repeat them. Out in the open. Possible. Opposing forces or overly sentimental. That's really... What are you narrowing it down to? I mean, I think that it's... I think it's just because my gut has been like

that it's some kind of like performative thing. It feels like it's out in the open or overly sentimental. But then also opposing, like maudlin does kind of sound like opposing forces to me. You can phone a friend if necessary. Who would I call? Anybody in your phone. I could call my mom. Would she know?

She would, but I think she might be teaching her English class. She's actually teaching an advanced after-school English class right now for gifted writers. Wow. Yeah. That sounds kind of cool, actually, for this. And she's teaching right around now? What time is it?

Yeah. She teaches from two to six. Call the school. Call the school and say something terrible happened. I don't know what maudlin means. Something terrible happened in my upbringing. What about your dad? He probably would.

I guess he would know because they're just both really smart. Yeah, it seems like crossword puzzle adjacent and he'd be good at that. Yeah. So give me the choices one more time. Out in the open. No. Possible. Opposing forces.

And overly sentimental. I'm just going to go with not my gut and do something dumb and say opposing forces. Incorrect. It's overly sentimental. That was the gut. Oh, yes. And I took great joy in that. I know.

Yes. I wanted to see you fail. Yes, I wanted to see you fail. Yes, I know. You got 90% on that, which I guess out of 20 is what? 18, 18 or 20. Really? I thought I got more wrong than that. Yeah. Okay, pretty good.

Yeah. I thought it was going to be something with sentience.
