Starting point is 00:02:18 Pepsi Challengers. Oh that's our new nickname, the Pepsi Challengers. That's like the Challengers of the Unknown. That would be a good baseball team name. Like if we were like a little league team. Yeah, yeah, sponsored by Pepsi. The Pepsi challengers. Yeah, that would be so good. We should start a little league team and no one knows that we're adults until we get to the game.
Starting point is 00:02:35 And they're like, oh, fuck. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And they're like, we're definitely gonna lose. And then actually we would lose because we'd be terrible. Yeah, because we suck. And we're only three people. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:43 We can't cover the field. And we don't have a, Yeah. We can't cover the field. And we don't have a, neither is the catcher. Oh fuck the ball. I would be the catcher. You'd be the catcher? So I'd have a pitcher catcher, one outfielder. I'd be worried about your pregnant belly.
Starting point is 00:02:58 Well I wouldn't be playing right now. Whoa. What do you want to play, the day after you give birth? Yeah, that seems really good. I want to run, run, run, run, run. What do you do the day after you give birth? Yeah, that seems really good. I want to run, run, run, run, run. What do you do the day after you give birth? You just lay around. You gotta lay around.
Starting point is 00:03:09 There's pretty much no physical option. It's you, the baby laying on top of you. Yeah, I mean. Just like a little blob. I mean, if you're a baby, is it not in the NICU? Yeah. I'm not. Okay, so then, yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:23 Wait, are you a baby? No. Oh my God, Paul's just a giant baby. I just not. Okay. So then yeah. Wait, are you a baby? No. Oh my God. Paul's just a giant baby. I figured it out. That's why he wears that diaper every day. I couldn't even stand up alone. I was a fall risk. A fall risk. Is that what they said? Like that bracelet they get, you know, have you ever seen the hospital? No, I've not. So if you're wearing the bracelet and you're walking around, people are like, Hey, hey, hey, you're a fall-out. Sit down. I was in a wheelchair and my blood pressure was super low. So I was like, every time I tried to sit up,
Starting point is 00:03:50 I was like, whoa. And they wheel you out of the hospital, right? You're not allowed to walk out. Yes, you're not allowed. Yes. I wheeled. Is that something I get from movies and TV? I wheeled because I had to be wheeled,
Starting point is 00:04:01 but I don't know, maybe some people don't, I don't know. Because Cool Up didn't give birth, but for some reason I feel like they wheeled. You put her in a wheelchair? No, I feel like they wheeled us, like if we're carrying a baby, they had to wheel us out or something. That's fucked up.
Starting point is 00:04:15 It was crazy, I don't know. Just to get like, let's just get you out of here safely. Because the baby's technically a patient. They also have to check your car seat when you leave. Yes, which takes a long time. To make sure that it's installed correctly. They do like a sleep test. I mean, if I remember, she was like napping in it for like a long time and then like they were watching and checking on her and...
Starting point is 00:04:33 Do you hear something, Paul? Yeah, I do hear something. What do you hear? Let me take off my... I thought I heard something in the background. It's like a high pitched noise. Is it a truck? I sort of hear that.
Starting point is 00:04:42 I think it's a truck from... Is it a boop, boop, boop? Yeah, I think it's from one of these streets that we unfortunately have to live on. Man, I wish I could live in the clouds. That would be awesome. Like Mario. Bespin? Yes. Oh my Lord. Or Mario. Yeah. Do you think that they know each other? Lando Calrissian and Mario?
Starting point is 00:04:58 I bet they were neighbors. Clouds? Here's the thing about clouds. And God? My stupid neighbor Mario. It looks like it's like a close neighborhood. Like, oh, they must know that guy. It's like, no, the clouds are actually so far reaching that like the homes are really spaced out.
Starting point is 00:05:14 Yeah. That's the way to do it. Yeah. And the sky's blue all the time. Wait, what were we talking about? You wheeling. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Wouldn't it be funny and cute if they put the baby in a wheelchair by itself
Starting point is 00:05:26 and we held it out and we're like, you find your way out. And it was like rolling around in the chair. Yeah. Yeah. Did you have to watch videos like we had to watch videos of like, yeah, how to how to take care of your baby and stuff, which honestly, like I was kind of like, oh, come on. Like, why are they? How hard could it be? Well, no, I was sort of like, I, come on. Like, why are they? How hard could it be? Well, no, I was sort of like- Haven't given us a thought at all.
Starting point is 00:05:46 You're making us watch videos and then I watched them and I was like, man, I didn't know any of that stuff. How often do we feed them? I mean- Once a week? It's good, that's good they show you then that you didn't know and you had to know. I mean-
Starting point is 00:05:59 Yeah, I would have looked it up. I'm sure you wouldn't have. Hey, what if, so you have a wristband that says fall risk and what if the baby has a wristband that says aww risk? Because babies are cute. They're so cute. That's cute. That's what just happens.
Starting point is 00:06:14 What species has the ugliest babies? You posted something today of some kind of bird. Oh my god. That fucking bird in the San Antonio Zoo. What is that? Some kind of... It was is that? Some kind of. It was really scary. Some kind of flamingo or something.
Starting point is 00:06:27 So they're just capturing ugly birds just to go look at this ugly thing. Yeah. It's an Angry Birds sequel. Oh. Ugly birds. Yeah. And they're, I mean, angry because they're ugly.
Starting point is 00:06:39 Yeah. Jesus Christ. Baby palm cockatoo. Baby palm. This fucking thing. Gross! Get that the fuck out. Baby palm. This fucking thing. Gross! Get that the fuck out of my face. It's horrifying. It looks boiled and.
Starting point is 00:06:51 It looks like it has a vagina for a head. I don't think that's true. You don't? No. You're just devil's advocating. You're devil's advocating. Why would they say, if you don't think that's what a vagina looks like,
Starting point is 00:07:08 why would they put advocate next to devil when you're already making that L sound? Cause I don't think anyone's ever actually had that devil saying it. I've never, I've never once heard someone. Oh, I can say it devil's advocate. Okay. Okay. If you're trying to talk fast to get a word in. I think because you were saying advocate and that was throwing you off. But do you feel like they should just change all words to be easy said if you're speaking quickly? Next to another word. Yes. Yeah. So it's like if you're creating a word. There should be two versions. Every word should have two versions. The quick and the slow. The quick and the dead.
Starting point is 00:07:42 What's the newest word that they've coined in the, you know, how they're always like, okay. Riz. So like how quickly can we say it? Can we say Riz? Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, Riz, a lot of Riz you got a lot of Riz you got a lot of Riz you got a lot of Riz you got a lot of Riz. You're trying now you're doing that on purpose because you were knocking it out of the park. He was choking and gagging on the Riz. Choking gagging for it. Choking gagging. Choking. That's all you see to do. Gagging on the Riz. Are you gagging on the Riz?
Starting point is 00:08:25 We got a title, folks. Attention homeowners, are you gagging on the Riz? You're entitled to compensation. If you have misothi miyoma from gagging on the Riz. Misothi miyoma. My God, I feel like when I was growing up, and when you're watching like Mori and like all those daytime shows, they always had shit about mesh, like vaginal mesh. Trans vaginal mesh.
Starting point is 00:08:57 Trans vaginal mesh. It was like so. If you have trans vaginal mesh. It was like, I don't know what that is. In a second hand store. Don't buy it second hand. Oh my God, I had a dream about... I had a dream about...
Starting point is 00:09:12 You had a dream about trans-vaginal mesh? I had a dream about Prince and thrift shopping all tied up together. Whoa. That's that, which just gave me deja vu. But anyway... I feel like I have deja vu because I feel like I had a dream
Starting point is 00:09:21 about Prince last night. What? I did not, but I love the idea of going thrift shopping with Prince. When they have. That would be so much fun. Yeah. I bet Prince was really fun to hang out with. That's what you hear. I hope.
Starting point is 00:09:33 If you could get Prince one on one, I bet he was a fucking ball. Like if he dropped the act and whatever, like everyone who says when he would just drop the act and when you got to know him. If he trusted you, he was like, okay, this person's not going to kill me. Yeah, then he would just be really fun to hang out with. Yeah. And do stuff like riding bikes around and all his guests. Oh, like right before he died, remember the videos of riding the bike?
Starting point is 00:09:51 Yeah. I don't know. That's so sweet. I think he had a lollipop in his mouth. He was like, he's having a time. He had a beanie with a propeller. I think he was... He was riding a penny for a thing?
Starting point is 00:10:02 He was doing it to show people that he was okay or something. Maybe. Because I think he'd had a fall or something like that. And he was like, okay, everybody, I'm fine, look. I'm fine, look, I'm riding a bike. I'm riding a great time. I've talked about this on other shows, but we saw one of the concerts that we saw
Starting point is 00:10:17 at the same place that you and I went. Oh, yes. Before we went, we'd heard he did this amazing three hour show for the opening show. So we went to the second one and he just played an hour and a half and we're like, okay, he's going to come out and do multiple encores. We waited for 45 minutes and then he just rode a bike around the forum and then waved and then went underneath the tunnel.
Starting point is 00:10:37 Was that worth it? Honestly, yeah. Cause I'm like, that sounds kind of good. It sounds kind of good. I'd like to see him ride a bike. What I have to ask is, was everyone screaming? Did the bike happen to be there?
Starting point is 00:10:48 I think so, I think he liked riding it around, and so it was fun, I bet during a sound check or whatever. Did he bring the bike or did the bike happen to be at the venue? Oh, I see, do you think it was the forums bike? Yeah. No, I think he brought the bike. I think that was, and he was doing a residency, so he's probably like, I want my bike here
Starting point is 00:11:03 while I'm doing this. I want my bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, so he's probably like, I want my bike here while I'm doing this. I want my bike. I want my bike. I want my bike. See, that's hard to say when you're doing it fast. I want my bike. I want my bike. I want my bike.
Starting point is 00:11:11 I want my bike. I want my bike. Transvaginal mesh. Transvaginal mesh. And what was the problem with it? Was something that you had or something that happened to you? Or something you want. You have to sue if your transvaginal mesh surgery
Starting point is 00:11:26 like went awry or something. Right. Look up a transvaginal mesh commercial. Oh boy. Okay, sure. They played it all the time. It's a really- Look, look, look.
Starting point is 00:11:39 I mean, here's something. Here's something. Here's something. Is it from the 90s? Looks like it, yeah. Time for headlines You know what nothing is working for me on this. It's your computer. Oh, yeah, my my Wi-Fi on and off Here we go. Have you tried turning it off when you record is it going into that machine or to your computer?
Starting point is 00:12:06 No, everything's going it's in fact, but does the recording go into the computer? I know. It's like you didn't want to say. Shut up. Um, and in fact the Gmail is loading and everything. So I don't know why. Okay, here we go. All right. Here we go.
Starting point is 00:12:16 Here we go. Ready? Ready? Ready? Ready? Are you ready? I'm ready. Are you ready for it?
Starting point is 00:12:20 Well, my body is ready. Why won't this fucking thing play? Oh, this is scary. Are you doing a didgeridoo? Well, this is pretty. Please start your restart your computer. I think the computer needs to restart so I'm not going to be able to play anything. Oh, you know what?
Starting point is 00:12:35 I can. I can. Yeah, here you go. Look it up, Polly. Look it up. We really got it. Lauren, this is not an opportunity for you. I'm looking up the commercial.
Starting point is 00:12:46 We're all three looking up transvaginal mesh. And you should be doing that listener. You should also be looking up transvaginal mesh commercial. The exact same thing as us right now. Look up transvaginal mesh commercial. Transvaginal mesh. And then we'll all play it simultaneously and everyone in the world will be playing it at the same time. They were introduced in the late 1990s as a routine treatment for stress urinary incontinence.
Starting point is 00:13:11 So this was like really happening at that time. It was a new surgery. Wow. What exactly is it? Okay, one of the things that it fills in- It's for complications after childbirth when you have incontinence or a prolapse. One of that it feels very stressed on board it in the search bar is Transvaginal mesh dance that I don't know if we need are you is pocket pussies coming up somehow?
Starting point is 00:13:42 It's a very important thing, but it's like crazy how much they were making me think about that as a kid yeah like it's some epidemic that's going on yeah all right what do we got paul okay is it plugged in paul it is wow this is It is. Wow, this is not good. Okay, the sort of stress of trying to figure out the chords while this is playing. It was plugged in or was it? What the hell was happening?
Starting point is 00:14:13 Even if it's not causing you any problems, you may be entitled to some... And I was just like eating Cheetos being like... If you have a child, you're entitled to a mesh implant. I need to know who the father is. Should you have been watching Morrie at that age? No.
Starting point is 00:14:28 Are you sad or are you happy because it made you the weirdo that you are right now that ended up being a success? I think we were all doing it because there were really only so many things to watch. What were you all doing? Watching Morrie and all those shows. So my question is, if like, you shouldn't have been watching it, but it led to you being this person,
Starting point is 00:14:49 isn't it actually good that kids watch stuff that is inappropriate for them? Yeah. I think that's really good. I mean, look, if, if, if I hadn't had such a miserable childhood and everyone met you guys. Yeah, it did work out how it was supposed to. My childhood was fine. Could have been better. Yeah. If you got to fall out with that, who do you think had a better childhood? You or Janie? That's tough because Janie is a, she's a child of divorce.
Starting point is 00:15:24 Oh, no, I'm so sorry. I had no idea. Janie is a she's a child of divorce. Oh no, I'm so sorry. I had no idea. I don't like to talk about it. Wow. So that's really hard. My parents should have gotten divorced but didn't. But that's hard too. It's very hard for me to put myself in that situation.
Starting point is 00:15:43 Like sometimes I'll think about it. Like for instance, a big part of my father's story is that he almost died in 82, which led him on the big long problems that ended up being what ended his life, but 40 years later, right? But I think about that of like, boy, what if he had died in 1982 and my mother, you know, she would have-
Starting point is 00:16:08 It would have been a whole different life. It would have been just totally different. We might've moved away. She would have had a series of marriages perhaps. Or never again, which would also make me be hard. Well, she didn't work either. So, you know, like we- She refused, right?
Starting point is 00:16:23 Oh yeah, yeah. Just on principle. She also wouldn't pay taxes to the IRS because taxation is theft. Yeah. It's very interesting, sliding doors of it all. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I wonder, like my parents, given who they were, let's say they did get divorced. It's hard to try to picture them ending up with other people. I know. Yeah. It's so weird. Yeah. Even my mother right now, I can't picture it. I can't picture her either. Yeah. Well, you never met her. Yeah. That's probably why. But your friends who are in that position, it's like, that's great. You know what I mean? When you're watching it as an adult happen to another adult, of course, it's sad with kids and all those factors and it's very, very hard, but you can go, oh, she's so much happier now or whatever.
Starting point is 00:17:09 But they ended up, because Janie's parents ended up both finding partners that they loved and had great relationships with. And, you know, so that's, I mean, that's the best possible outcome if you're a kid to see your parents be happy at least. Would Janie go back and forth from house to house? No, she, I mean, they would, they would because they didn't live in the same state. Oh, okay. So like two weeks in the summer or something like that or something like that. They had various trips and stuff like that, but she spent
Starting point is 00:17:39 most of her time with her mom in South Carolina. That's hard though. Yeah, that's hard though. That's hard though. Must be so hard being a single parent. Like That's hard though. Yeah, that's hard though. That's hard though. Must be so hard being a single parent. Like it's hard enough. Can't be that hard. It's hard enough being in it. Like honestly, I feel like we should, we should open it up to like a throuple
Starting point is 00:17:56 situation just to get one more set of hands around the house. Or you could have your nanny. Oh, that's true. Or we could open up a throuple with our nanny. Oh, now you're talking. Now it's getting weird. Here we go. This was... I think every dad suggests that at some point.
Starting point is 00:18:13 Sure. Oh my God, who was it? I don't know where I saw this. It's in something or whatever where they're like, don't hire a hot nan. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. It's always like the like morning. Yeah. Okay. And who's.... It's always like the like warning. Okay.
Starting point is 00:18:26 And who's- Who's with on Sex and the City? Who's like estimation- Oh well in the movie, Aaron Go-Brah-less. Aaron Go-Brah-less is- Yeah. Then an Irish nanny who had huge knockers. With no bra.
Starting point is 00:18:37 No bra. It's a movie. Oh no. It's a movie. You can even more. Wait, I might've seen it. The only Sex and the City I've ever seen is that first movie. I think it's from, is it what movie it's from?
Starting point is 00:18:49 Or is it not? No, I think it is from the movie. Maybe sex is the city. Do you want me to look it up? Aaron go braless? Yeah, I want you to look that up. Yeah, yeah. Do it because we want you to.
Starting point is 00:19:00 Search trans-vegetal mesh followed by Aaron go braless. And let's see how your algo starts acting. I don't see anything other than like a bunch of T-shirts. Aaron go brawless. I guess this is a popular T-shirt meme. Did you put in Sex and the City? I guess. It's a great meme.
Starting point is 00:19:16 It's a great T-shirt meme. I'll look up Sex and the City. Yes. Sex and the City 2. Oh, Alice Eve as Aaron go brawless. Sex and the City 2. Oh, I didn't realize it was Alice Eve as Erin go brawlis Yes from Star Trek
Starting point is 00:19:34 Which one the the Kelvin universe yeah, which which one though the first one of the second She was an old and was she not what she I don't know Yep there she is yeah, yeah, I remember those I was covering her her body when I showed them the picture to respect her. To respect her. And that's the point is we respect Alice Eve. We respect single mothers. We respect women. In this house. She was the subject of a very creepy scene in a Star Trek movie. That was much debated.
Starting point is 00:20:03 Both of them were like sort of in their underwear. Is that right? Or just her. Just her. That was much debated. Well, both of them were like sort of in their underwear. Is that right? Or just her? Just her. It was just her. And she tells him, as captain or not captain, but James T. Kirk, turn around. Right. Right. And then he does it. He's just like staring at her. She's changing her clothes. And they're in like cramps quarters. And he just stares at her. Yeah. Cool.
Starting point is 00:20:21 And then he turns around and then he takes another peek. Ah, OK. If someone says turn around and then he takes another peek. Okay, if someone says turn around and then you do it, you can't cheat and then take a peek. But he's like, I thought you said, I thought you meant like keep turning around. And this is supposed to be like fun cat-ish behavior, but when you actually see it, it's like, this is gross. Like stop looking at her. This is also supposed to be the future. She literally said don't. Where people know better than this. Yeah. Which one was she in?
Starting point is 00:20:48 Are you sure she was in all three of them? No, I'm not, dude. I'm not. You're the Star Trek guy. I don't think people take into account. Oh, here comes our food delivery. I don't think. It's a huge lawnmower.
Starting point is 00:20:57 I don't think people. There could be food in that bag. Take into account when they're doing things in the future that we should know more things, not just about technology, but like, oh yeah, don't molest that person. It is funny when you think of the 60s Star Trek that they were like, we'll probably still be like this. Yeah, we'll just be drinking, but we'll have cool ears.
Starting point is 00:21:16 Yeah, some things will change, but we'll still be like this. Women are still an inferior species. All right, we have to take a break. Meep, meep.

Starting point is 00:25:07 Not have Star Trek? Yeah, I guess there's no possible world where it couldn't exist. That's true. Boy, what if Gene Roddenberry had passed away before? Like, isn't that? Is that who created it? Yes.
Starting point is 00:25:20 Isn't that a strange thing to think about, like a world where Star Trek, a thing that has been so popular and has permeated pop culture, like it just wouldn't even exist. And it's not like there would be a vacuum that some other show would fill. Like every part of what went into that of the casting, you know, it was so particular of why it became so popular. The fact that William Shatner's in it the fact, you know everyone in it Is this some fucking butterfly effect bullshit? Yeah. Yeah, I have this butterfly. I want you to stomp on it. I'd love to
Starting point is 00:25:51 The ultimate power to change the course of history I step on every butterfly. I see a butterfly is really like gross. What's that? It's gross to kill a butterfly. That's like Yeah, that's pretty. It's just a pretty ugly things. You can kill pretty except praying mantis or you go a butterfly. That's like, it's just a pretty thing. Ugly things you can kill. Pretty things. Except praying mantis or you go to jail. That's true. You can't kill a praying mantis. You never heard that when you were a kid?
Starting point is 00:26:12 No. Oh, it was something like if you, there were various things where you would, there was a fine. I mean if you did it would be really extreme. There was a fine if you killed one. There was sometimes you go to jail. Where they said it's fine. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:22 Cop would come by and say it's fine. But doesn't it feel like much crazier to kill a big bug like that? Like, it feels like much more like. Like, well, the size of a bug determines whether you can kill it or not. Is that what you're saying? So like a big spider.
Starting point is 00:26:33 To some extent, I'm thinking that feels really brutal. So like a spider that's like this big that's crawling across your floor, it's okay. No, that I will kill. But then like a big spider that has like, that looks like it belongs in a zoo. You know what I mean? Would you kill that or would you probably wouldn't try to kill that because it's like an animal.
Starting point is 00:26:52 I'd call the zoo and say, do you have like your spiders? Can you come bring the cage that you let this thing out of? Will you send the guy with the net, please? I gotta get that guy. Send the man with the yellow hat friend. Fuck dude. So it's really just a- So tapped in. So what's the biggest thing you would kill?
Starting point is 00:27:09 Give me like a size. Oh, this is a great question. Like a guy. Yeah, like a guy. A human man. The biggest thing I would kill, hmm. Maybe this like, I'm doing the okay sign. Like a quarter, you're saying?
Starting point is 00:27:24 Yeah, like a quarter. I'd probably for sure kill a bug that was sign. Like a quarter, you're saying? Yeah, like a quarter. I'd probably for sure kill a bug that was the size of a quarter. Okay, what about a 50 cent piece? It's getting dicier. But if there's a bug that was the size of a 50 cent piece in my house, a shoe might get thrown at that thing. Come on.
Starting point is 00:27:41 Can I say, let's talk about coins for a second. Sure. How many coins would you kill? I's talk about coins for a second. Sure. Yeah. How many coins would you kill? I'd kill all of them. I hate coins. When our, I feel like our American coins do a pretty good job of size to value except the dime and the penny, dime and the penny and the nickel. That's like most of them. Yeah. Quarter, 50 cent piece silver dollar. We don's like most of them. Yeah. Quarter 50 cent piece. That's two. We don't use any of those. Oh, don't we? No, the nickel and the quarter are good. When we're talking about, but it's the dime and the penny that are the problem. So dime,
Starting point is 00:28:17 penny and nickel, I think all are a problem. Dime, quarter. No, nickel's good. Quarter biggest. Nickel's fine. Quarter's the biggest. Out of those four quarter biggest nickels. Five. Good. No, a quarter isn't biggest out of those four. Penny should be penny should be the ones in your wallet. Penny should be dime size. Yes. Dimes nickel should be penny size. Yes. OK. Dime should be nickel size. And then from there, you're good. Yes. But other countries don't want us to feel they don't want someone coming here
Starting point is 00:28:41 to figure it out. Other countries will have like a five, you know Whatever piece. Yeah, it's big as a fucking coaster. You know what I mean? Oh, yeah, that's true That's come on The most valuable one is the tiniest one. What are we doing? What are we doing? Thick now I like I Like my pounds thick. I do like the pound coin. I love a pound coin. And I love like, you know, if you're, if you're ever traveling, you can have like a little like coin purse of all your special coins. I love that. Do you figure out the money when you're in another country? I just leave, I leave it for other people to figure out. I just go like,
Starting point is 00:29:20 God, you'd give me the change out of all this. They must just tell you your fucking piece of shit. Here's 15,000 pounds. Give me what's left. You figure it out. I love to have all the foreign coins that I have left over and keep them in my travel bag and then forget that they're there until I get new ones. Well then, until you go through a metal detector. And then you'd really find out, wouldn't you?
Starting point is 00:29:45 I don't go through with my travel bag. Why not? Because they don't let you do that, dude. Do you carry a backpack when you walk through the security? Yeah, do you? Yeah, I do. Wait, you do? I put a gun in there.
Starting point is 00:29:57 Oh, fuck. Wow. And they're cool with that? It's one trick. It's always crazy when they can't do anything about it. And the airport has a sign that's like, no guns allowed pass this way. So yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:07 I mean, I get the fireworks thing cause that's a gray area where you're kind of like, maybe I could take these fireworks I just bought home with me. And then you get to the airport and you're like, oh, that's right. You can't. There was one I really loved because a gun,
Starting point is 00:30:20 you never know there's fucking people that are just like, oh, I forgot to have my gun. But they, one sign I remember, I used to do this to my act was a bomb Don't bring me bombs no bombs even if you're gonna use it later. We don't care. Yeah. Yeah, don't bring you bombs But the the the cell phone charger things Blowing up and everything. It's crazy. What happened someone we know I have my My batteries like that in a fireproof container that I got at the behest of those.
Starting point is 00:30:49 Why don't they make the whole plane out of that? What do you put in there? I have like those portable phone chargers, like things like- Like a power bank thing? Yes, that's what exploded at our friend house. Like one of these things? Yes.
Starting point is 00:31:02 Yeah. So I put it in, I never really use these things anyway, but I put it in a little zippered bag that is fireproof, you can get on Amazon and then I just have all my lithium, all my like batteries like that in there. And then if they explode, let's go poof in that little bag. And then I think it'll be fine. When you open up the bag though, will like the fire come out and be like, it just keeps going. Yeah. Yeah. the bag, though, will like the fire come out and be like, it just keeps going in the bag.
Starting point is 00:31:25 Like one of those novelty magic trick books. I think it's rare that they explode, but it does happen. It does. And I'm just like, he just mocked me for rubbing my stomach. I have an actual person moving around. That's right. Is it moving around right now? Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:31:44 And it's a little uncomfortable. Oh. For me. For you, oh, okay. I don't think I can. How about for the baby? I can't tell. But there's this, it's like sometimes,
Starting point is 00:31:53 we're getting towards the end here, people, and there's like kicks in the ribs and things where it's like, ooh, that's so crazy. Getting up to pee in the middle of the night is the hardest thing in the world. How do you think it is for the day? I have to like roll and like move my 100 pillows. What if you constructed like a slide?
Starting point is 00:32:12 If I could just pee in the bed, that'd probably be the best. Oh, heaven, heaven on earth. Yeah. Are the 100 pillows pregnancy related or standard? I have, no, it's pregnancy related. I have a U shaped, like a very long U shaped body pillow thing.
Starting point is 00:32:26 This is to fool Mike into thinking it's you. Yeah. And you're not pregnant. U shaped. So you can get some sleep. It's shaped like you Scott. And then I have a pillow. It's actually me.
Starting point is 00:32:38 Between my knees, cause that makes it much more comfortable. Then I have a pillow or two under my head. And then I have sleep crowns tucked all around my stomach to lift it a little bit because it can't just lay. Yeah. And you have to lay on your side, left side, cause that's the best way for the everything to go towards the. So you can't roll over onto your. Yeah. Wow. They tell you to lay on your left side.
Starting point is 00:33:02 Cause it's the way that the blood flow and stuff like it all is just like healthier and get they get the most like oxygen nutrients and whatever. I don't know. I think the word nutrients is kind of disgusting. Yeah, they should change it. Especially things that are nutrient rich. What should it be? What if it's nutrient dense? What about like?
Starting point is 00:33:22 Fuck I don't have a. Schlubel. You know what? Yeah, schlubel. It has a lot of exchange don't have a. Shlubel. You know what? Yeah, shlubel. It has a lot of. Let's change it. It's good for shlubels. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:31 Got my shlubel level up. How often are you checking your nutrient level? Nutrient rich soil. Full of shlubel. Yeah. Sounds better. Do you remember Kugel? No, what's that?
Starting point is 00:33:45 Kugel was a flavored peanut butter. Yum. Well, you think. Flavored like what? They had various flavors. Shit? No, like flavors you'd want to eat. Kugel-ess is a Lithuanian dish, which is what I thought of when you said it.
Starting point is 00:33:58 What is it? Kugel-ess. Kugel-ess? And it's like a potato, K-U-G-E-L-I-S, maybe there's some sort of like birdie on top. Yeah, I've heard of this. See that birdie on top? With little V. Little birdie!
Starting point is 00:34:10 What's it called? You know, the Swedish birdie? Um, umvout? I don't know. But it's like a potato with bacon-y dish. It's good. We should eat that on the next episode. Would you bring some in?
Starting point is 00:34:23 No. The Kugelweiss challenge. Would you bring some in? No. The Kugelweiss challenge. What is it called again? As a pregnant woman? Kugel-ess. Kugel-ess. K-O-O-G-L-E. And I remember they had like a vanilla, they had a chocolate, they had, you know, various things and it was disgusting, but I was compelled to eat it. My parents bought it once. And then I just ate it out of the jar and so they never did it again. But really, because you ate too much of it too quickly and they're like, you can't buy that.
Starting point is 00:34:48 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Wow. He's just eating it like candy. You know what I was thinking? Did that with Flintstones vitamins too. Oh, hell yeah. You were so strong that summer. Oh my God, I looked at a car.
Starting point is 00:34:57 This is not what I'm looking for, but I just found this out. Much like Fred Flintstone, wow! With his feet. Upside down V over a letter is a circumflex circumflex. That's not what I want. I want the regular. Okay. Here's what I was thinking about yesterday. Ooh, I'm so old. And maybe you had this experience that we got milk delivered by a milk man.
Starting point is 00:35:21 No, did you really? Yeah. Wow. It's crazy, right? Because refrigerators, I guess, used to be so small that you couldn't buy enough milk or whatever, so they would deliver it like every day. But yeah, I remember it being delivered every day and it was just, isn't that strange? Just clanging outside the door when he dropped the basket. Well, it wasn't in bottles.
Starting point is 00:35:42 It was in cartons. Oh. But I was like, damn! Why was I that old, Gina? Yeah! Why was I that old? I found a commercial for Kugel. Okay. Plug it in and see if it'll play.
Starting point is 00:35:57 I don't think it's gonna play. I feel like something's going on. The whole system's all fucked up. No, it's not the whole system. There, see, it's playing. Here comes Kugel, the Krabby Nutty Surprise. This is Kugel peanut spread from Krab. It not only tastes like peanuts, it comes in flavors.
Starting point is 00:36:12 Oh, I love this. Chocolate, vanilla, banana, and cinnamon. I thought that was the child's voice, but it's the mom's voice. Uh-oh. Delicious on bread or crackers or almost anything. It's delicious on bread and crackers. Crackers?
Starting point is 00:36:23 I'm a Sagan. And if I now stick together. You love K. I'm bread and crackers. Crackers. I'm a sastan. And they will not stick together. You love cougar, the crappy nutty surprise. The crappy nutty. The crappy nutty surprise? Surprise, it tastes like shit. The crafty nutty surprise. But they also had a mascot who was like a big, weird blob.
Starting point is 00:36:40 Oh cool. Where the fuck? Of this substance or just a blob? Time for this edition of Throwback Thursday. I guess. This one commercial was sent in by Gene and Thompson. If you were a kid in the 70s, you may remember this kind of peanut butter.
Starting point is 00:36:50 New station does a Throwback Thursday. I have an idea what it is. Okay, please turn it off. Well, they gotta fill time. That's the same commercial. Oh, okay, that's the same one. But there was a big mascot and he would sing this song that ended with him saying...
Starting point is 00:37:04 Eat me. With the coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo co saying, eat me with the cuckoo coo-glee eyes. What? Like cougar like the cougarly googly eyes, but he referred to them as cougarly eyes. Wow. So he had like some sort of body dysmorphia where he thought he had no, he was fucked up. He thought he was a model and he looked gross. The body dysmorphia where he thought he looked great. Yeah. Why can't I have that? I know. That'd be a good one.
Starting point is 00:37:30 I'm crushing it again. Every time I look in the mirror, I'm like, fuck yeah. How do I do it? Everyone else, meanwhile. Because I just got great jeans. Would that affect your like? I bet people would kind of go like, he does look good, the way he carries himself. Well, there are people like that who are just super confident
Starting point is 00:37:46 but I don't know they just I don't think they have body dysmorphia that's positive. What do you think I'm doing? Well no so based on our previous discussion what do you think I'm doing? You're looking at more commercials. First of all I'm trying to find Kugel. You're trying to eat some? Stop. You put that battery pack on your phone. Yeah. But does it plug in or is it just magnetic? Magnetic. I've never seen that. You always have the coolest technology for your phone. But do you wonder where I get all those beautiful toys? Yes. But then you also, it doesn't make you cooler. That's what's so weird. It's weird. It makes you worse. Yeah, it does make me worse.
Starting point is 00:38:28 Cause it's like you're throwing it in our faces. I mean, I'm impressed. You should. You couldn't open the page because the server stopped responding. Oh my God. That's crazy. I feel like everything you buy. Can we get the server on the horn? Paul, everything you buy, you should buy.
Starting point is 00:38:39 You should buy us some too. Why? Cause then we'd be equal and we would have these cool things. You two are going to eat me out of house and home. You're going to eat you out of house and home? All right. We're not taking a break. What? No, sorry. It's a great line to take a break on. It did seem like a break line. I know, but we got to keep plowing through. All right. What are you looking up, Paul? You're trying to get Kugel delivered to you? I finally found the Kugel mascot, and he's really horrific. Show these Kugely eyes to us.
Starting point is 00:39:14 Do they still, oh, he's got three eyes! He's got multiple eyes. I saw a Kugel mascot. You can't change his eyes! Blah, blah, blah, blah! Mr. A, you listen. How does it go from Ferris Bueller? No, I'm Peterson.
Starting point is 00:39:29 Rooney. Yeah, little A Rooney. Isn't it crazy he would wind up on one of the most successful shows of all time? You know what's actually crazy? So we've been banking a lot of episodes of Newcomers for my maternity leave, and I'm very excited to finish succession when I'm... Oh, you've been waiting on that. When I'm actually done, because I've been having to watch
Starting point is 00:39:48 all these other things that I don't have time to just watch for fun. So suddenly you'll have a baby and they'll like... And I'll get to really soak up the last... The last two seasons of succession. I'm very excited. Fun! I know, I'm so late.
Starting point is 00:40:02 That's how I am with all my children. You have like 20 seasons? I only have 20 seasons left. Yeah. I know I'm so late. That's how I am with all my children. You have like 20 seasons. I only have 20 seasons left. Yeah. Yeah. No, I watched it every day when I was growing up. She would tape it on the same tape, you know, just like record over it every day. Absolutely. So would she build up episodes? No, she would just watch it that night. Yeah. Yeah. So she would never let one lapse.
Starting point is 00:40:22 As far as I know, I just remember it every day. Right. And and there were this one guy played twins. Do you remember this? Watch it that night. Yeah, yeah. So she would never let one lapse. As far as I know, I just remember it every day. Right. And there were this one guy played twins. Do you remember this? Twins! Little Stuart. Stuart was one of them, but he was like kind of, he was so naive.
Starting point is 00:40:35 Where are you playing, Paul? I'm sorry, I found it. He was this guy with white hair and he had a twin. Stop playing. I'm doing my best. Well, your best? Your best is not good. Your best sucks.
Starting point is 00:40:50 So he was a twin, and I think maybe the twin was introduced later, but he was kind of like, the regular guy was- You think that not immediately? The regular guy was- By the way, here's my twin, me. The regular guy was like, like smooth suave guy. And then the twin was like, I don't know. He was really naive.
Starting point is 00:41:11 I'm three years old. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Here's the cougal with the song. Here's the cougal with the song. Apple bottle gene. Cougal with the song. Cougal with the song. You got to plug it in more.
Starting point is 00:41:26 It's plugged in all the way, bitch. No, it's not. Adam and Stuart were all, maybe all my children's most famous set of twins, but there were several other look-alikes roaming around Pine Valley over the years. This is him. Oh him, yes, absolutely.
Starting point is 00:41:47 He was on it forever. He was on it forever. Why don't you plug it all the way in? You did it once. Oh, now Siri is involved. I didn't involve Siri. Oh my God, so in a tragic twist of fate, Stuart was mistaken for Adam and shot to death they were they wanted to
Starting point is 00:42:06 shoot Adam I'm gonna shoot you to life that's really sad all right here we go that's so sad all right play us this coogle Come on, let's go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go She was on it 27 years. Paul? Over. It was 41 years. 41 years. That's a good run. She played Erica Kane for 41 years. And she kept finding new things out about her. And she got her big break on the show in 1970.
Starting point is 00:42:55 Can you imagine? You're like, I got cast on Soap Opera. Cut to the rest of your life is on that. I know. Like it makes you well off, but is it worth it? Or do you just kind of go like, look, I lucked out. I'm not a very good actor. Well, hold on. Everyone. Everyone. But you know what I mean? It was like, I don't have any aspirations of winning an Oscar or whatever. So popper stars end up being great, like famous successful. I
Starting point is 00:43:19 know what I'm saying. Stop devil's ad billing me's ad-filling. I think it's very extreme to say that they're on these shows because they're not very good actors. What I'm trying to say is a person may, instead of being like, man, I've slogged away at 41 years of this show that is beneath me, what if she were to be like, you know what? I probably, I'm not good enough,
Starting point is 00:43:42 I'm not at Robert De Niro. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, everyone thought she should have been winning awards the whole time. For us, Op Opera. But what if she was saying instead. I'm saying but what if she said what I said? You can't you can't then go no, she would never think that she would think this thing this hypothetical that I'm thinking. We're not saying that she would never think that we're saying that you're here's your commercial. You're just playing a commercial. You You're a very harsh picture. Yes. You can just put on Google and expect me to stop talking.
Starting point is 00:44:08 It's not working. I'm hearing it. Oh, wait. You think you got to put on your head? It's faint for you to. Yeah, it's a very fat bird. Or a bun. He's only got one tooth. That's horrifying.
Starting point is 00:44:28 It's a soft spread. That's true. Alright, he needs to stop. Cougal, you need to stop. Cougal, you need to chill. So they don't sell this anymore? Vanilla peanut butter sounds good to me. Vanilla peanut butter? That sounds good. They don't. Vanilla peanut butter?
Starting point is 00:44:45 That sounds good. Yeah, let me look up vanilla peanut butter see if we can get some to order. Yeah, why don't you look up vanilla peanut butter? Jesus Christ. But I like to imagine, I like to imagine Scott, that maybe she said, like a lot of soap people say,
Starting point is 00:45:01 this is great, I fucking have a job for life. That's what I'm saying. This is like. But you're adding like, I'm not that good. It doesn't have to be that they don't. All right, we're taking a break. Bye. This show is sponsored by better help. Oh, this year has gone by so quickly. Right? Am I right? Person that I'm talking to who's
Starting point is 00:45:26 listening to me right now, right? Well, right now is the perfect time, even though we're not halfway through the year necessarily, but it is the perfect time in my opinion to reflect on everything that we've accomplished so far, as well as all the things that we still want out of the year. Therapy can be so helpful in that reflecting process. A good therapist can help you step back and analyze properly, celebrating your wins and processing the setbacks. Therapy can change lives. Everyone were huge fans of it here. We talk about it on this show. We love it. We appreciate it. We sign other people up for it all the time.

Starting point is 00:47:49 You don't know? I sort of hate it. I don't like it either. No, he sucks. I was like, do I throw this away? But I don't know why... Why is he supposed to be king of the jungle? Look at his dumb ass face.
Starting point is 00:47:58 Yeah, who are you? Something's wrong with that guy. You're king of nothing. Okay, so this is a three-ture. You're king of nothing. Okay. So this is a three-chair. A three-chair is a game that makes you buy, but it's also known as a buster. So this is a buster. Do you remember when I got a response from TLC on Twitter? Yeah. Back in the fun days.
Starting point is 00:48:18 Wait, kind of. What was it? I tweeted, does anyone know if TLC has relaxed its policy on scrubs? And it got passed around a lot and then eventually TLC quote tweeted and said, hell no. That was when Twitter was fun. That was fun. You know what I fucking hate about the way Twitter is now? Besides, I don't want to be on it. Pussy and bio?
Starting point is 00:48:43 Pussy and bio? That's a huge thing right now. Okay, leave me out on it. Pussy in bio? Pussy in bio? That's a huge thing right now. Okay, leave me out of it. What does it mean? Every single tweet has scammers replying pussy in bio. Oh, like link in bio, but like, so you'd go get to their pussy? So you'd, yeah, so you'd go to their bio
Starting point is 00:49:00 and it's like an OnlyFans scam or something. I read a big article about it yesterday, but it's like so popular that like they're writing articles. Like after you lost that money. After your computer stopped working. What happened? What happened? That's so hateful.
Starting point is 00:49:13 Computer not working after clicking bio. By the way, it's all written in a like this weird code, like with lines through it or something like that. So it's like. Well, I don't, what I don't like about the way they've made it is that I can't look at someone's tweet and the replies unless I have an account. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:30 I'm like, it's Twitter. This is what it was. You can't just lock it up. When somebody sends me something, sometimes I'll get to see it. Sometimes I can't. Yeah, great. Great system.
Starting point is 00:49:42 Do you remember the Tina Fey hamburger? I do. Yeah, those were the Tina Fey hamburger? I do. Yeah, those were the good old days. I do. When everyone was like, Is that, I think it is Tina Fey. She probably likes hamburgers. That's funny, right?
Starting point is 00:49:52 Of course it was not Tina. It was someone who like signed up. Eating a hamburger? No, it was someone who signed up at Tina Fey and the icon, instead of a picture of Tina Fey, it was just a hamburger. To have that be the reason, I think it's probably her, she probably would put a hamburger. I don't think she would. She's a cool lady Tina Fey was just a hamburger. To have that be the reason, like, I think it's probably her.
Starting point is 00:50:05 She probably would put a hamburger. I don't think she would. She's a cool lady. She likes hamburgers. But that's one of the reasons I think why they started giving out blue checks is cause everyone was like, Oh, this is Tina Fey. We think, and Bill Murray, I think was another one. This is obviously Bill Murray. The Bill Murray one bothered me so much. Like of all people in the world, there's absolutely no way. Fucking Bill Murray is on Twitter. But it was when he was doing enough crazy shit that it was kind of like maybe
Starting point is 00:50:27 The crazy shit he always did was like he showed up at a party. Yeah It was always he was at a party. Yeah, he probably heard a party. What's he heard the noise outside? He's walking by he goes I'll walk in that'll be awesome drink. Yeah. Yeah, I'll drink for free I get a free drink. Yeah, I'll be showered in love and drink for free. I'll get a free drink. Yeah. Then walk out. I'll be showered in love and drink for free. Yeah. Everywhere I go. Everywhere I go. All right.
Starting point is 00:50:50 This is a buster submitted by Scott Dancy. Thank you, Scott. Also known as a feature. Hope you're still dancing. Yep. Called Negative 20 Questions. Okay. Okay.
Starting point is 00:50:59 I'm intrigued by the negative. Scott Dancy, by the way, credits the concept to John Wheeler, a physicist who created the game as an example of how consciousness may in some way bring the universe itself into existence. Fuck! What? All right, so here's how we play. Paul, you're the guesser. Okay. All right?
Starting point is 00:51:18 Lauren and I are the other two people, and we each, without consulting each other in our heads, select a person, place, or thing. Much like in 20 Questions. But we each have without consulting each other in our heads, select a person, place, or thing, much like in 20 questions, but we each have one, okay? We don't consult, we don't know what each other's are or anything. Okay. You then, as the guesser, alternate your 20 yes or no questions.
Starting point is 00:51:38 You first ask Lauren one, then you ask me one, then you ask Lauren one, then you ask me one. Each time one of us gives an answer, the other one has to revise their selection to make it make sense. So we have tried this. It's fun, it's fun. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:56 This sounds familiar. Okay. So, okay. So it's only yes or no questions. So like we both think of something and then Paul's like, is it red? And then you're like, yes. And I go, now I have to think of it. Now I we both think of something and then Paul's like, is it red? And then you're like, yes. And I go, now I have to think of it.
Starting point is 00:52:06 Now I have to think of a new thing that fits these. And I'll write down the 20 questions so that we can both consult. And then maybe by the end we'd have the same thing. We'd have the same thing, yes. The team wins if the final guest is correct and all three people wound up picking the same thing. Now if I recall correctly as well,
Starting point is 00:52:22 there was maybe an issue with the only being yes or no questions because in classic 20 questions, it's not just yes or no. Like you can ask, are you animal, vegetable or mineral? No, I think it has to be yes or no. Okay. Yeah, I think I've played yes or no in 20 questions, but I'm not sure. When you waste so many questions, I don't know. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:44 Let's just see what happens. Just just getting to something is alive or not All right, so we all if it's easy. Are you alive and you say no? You're like, well, you're dead Right like a rock Like a dead rock Disco right I was gonna pick disco Okay, so we each are gonna think of a person, place, or thing. I've got mine.
Starting point is 00:53:09 I've got mine. Okay, now Paul, you alternate asking us questions. Yes or no questions. I'll start with Scott. Okay. Are you a person? No. Are you a place?
Starting point is 00:53:21 No. Well, yeah, let's do these a little slower so I can. Okay. Great. I'm writing them down. Are you a thing? No. So remember, you're not a person, place, or thing. So remember, you're not a person, place or thing. Are you an animal? Yes. Are you extinct? No.
Starting point is 00:54:03 Are you found in the zoo? Yes. Oh. Are you scary? Are you a predator? No. Are you big? No. Okay. Do you have fur? No.
Starting point is 00:54:34 Do you have feathers? Yes. Okay. Dude, you got a long neck? Yes. Do you have a big round black body? No. Are you big?
Starting point is 00:55:02 Oh, you've asked. Okay. And we're no. Are you big? Oh, you've asked that? Yes. Okay. And we're no. Are you fast? No. Hmm.
Starting point is 00:55:18 Big Bird? Not Big Bird. I didn't ask a question. You were just talking to your friend. I'm calling on Big Bird. Not Big Bird. I didn't ask a question. You were you're just talking to your friend. I'm calling on Big Bird for strength. Big Bird, hear me. Oh, Big Bird. Not fast.
Starting point is 00:55:42 Do you swim? Do you swim? No. Or yes. Yes, I think I do. Can I clarify the question? Sure. Do you routinely swim? No. You had 14 questions. Do you have a curved beak?
Starting point is 00:56:26 Yes. Are you pink? Yes. I'm going to ask you this, know what the truth are you a fucking flamingo? Yes. I knew it. Me too. Oh, we did it.
Starting point is 00:56:45 Wow. I didn't know if they were fast. I don't think so. I didn't know if they were fast. I feel like I see some opportunity. I don't think they're particularly fast, no. All right, let's do it again. I, how soon were you a flamingo, by the way?
Starting point is 00:56:59 For a while, probably like 10 questions. I was probably a flamingo for four. Oh. Yeah, I switched over. What were you? What bird were you? I started as Donald Duck. I started as a rotary phone.
Starting point is 00:57:14 So then when it was like, are you in the zoo? Well, Donald Duck can't be in the zoo. So I went to elephants. I was a tiger at that point. OK. Because you all became an animal after. But then by the time it was big, you said big no. So I had to switch from elephant to monkey.
Starting point is 00:57:31 Well that was from something you did that made me say no. No, it was like, are you big? I know, but I said no because I was a tiger, but then you said something that made me not a tiger. And then I said no. So then I was a monkey. Then it was like, do you have fur? No.
Starting point is 00:57:44 So I then had to switch to feathers. And I think around feathers is when I became flamingo. No, I was a flamingo for a while. I guess a monkey has hair, right? Yeah, beautiful hair. I guess I would say. Long blonde locks. Love monkey hair.
Starting point is 00:57:57 Lipstick. Gorgeous. So hot. Wearing a beautiful pink dress. Okay. Okay, so now we're gonna do it to you, Lauren. See how you like it? Yeah.

Starting point is 00:59:48 That everyone knows, even though he has nothing to offer. Well, I mean, there's plenty of people who have no discernible talent. Oh, okay. Yeah, I got one. Okay. Are you a reality star? No. Am I familiar with your relationships?
Starting point is 01:00:17 Like you're dating in marriage? No. It's impossible. I know everybody's logic. These are very specific questions, but. Okay. But no. Are you American? Yes.

You're still not.
Starting point is 01:02:39 No he wasn't at the time. I was. Okay. Anyway not a news anchor Paul. Okay. Anyway, not a news anchor, Paul. Okay. Okay, well that's... That actually makes it harder. Really? Okay.
Starting point is 01:03:00 Yeah. So then think of anyone else on TV. Without talent. Yeah, exactly. No discernible special skills. Do we need to forfeit? Yeah, is it possible to be stumped on this? I don't know, I guess so. And you have one in mind?
Starting point is 01:03:22 I have one. And you had one in mind. I had one in mind and then that last question really. Because you thought it was a daytime talk show person. I didn't think that it was. And you knew it was. I knew that it was. Okay, I'm gonna say yours was Ryan Seacrest.
Starting point is 01:03:36 Yes. And yours was not a news anchor, a news reporter, like John Stewart. I was a weatherman. I was Dallas Raines. Oh my God, that's so hard. That's a specific skill. I wouldn't say it's a talent.
Starting point is 01:03:54 That was the question. Okay. I don't think he's talented necessarily as much as like, he is a meteorologist. He has a job. Yeah, exactly. Let's do it again. Now Scott has to guess. Yeah.

Well, like mine technically could be a place, but it's not described that way, I guess. Or do you want to start over? I think we might just put ourselves in a weird corner.
