Starting point is 00:00:00 Hi, I'm Reshma Sajjani, founder of Girls Who Code. Look, I'd consider myself a pretty successful adult woman. I've written books, founded two successful nonprofits, and I'm raising two incredible kids. But here's the thing. I still wake up wondering, is this it? And if the best years are yet to come, when's that going to start? Join me on my so-called midlife, my new podcast with Lemonada Media, where we're building
Starting point is 00:00:29 a playbook for navigating midlife, one episode at a time. Each week, I'll chat with extraordinary guests who've transformed their midlife crisis into opportunities for growth and newfound purpose. At some point, we all ask ourselves, is there more to life? I'm here to discover how to thrive in my second act, right alongside you. My so-called midlife is out now,
Starting point is 00:00:57 wherever you get your podcasts. Hi, I'm Ellie Kemper from The Office and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. And this is my fantastically funny friend, Scott Eckert. Hi, everyone. We host a podcast called Born to Love. It's a show where we talk to the people we love about the things they love. Each week we bring on a celebrity guest to discuss their secret passion.
Starting point is 00:01:18 Did you know that my friend Jenna Fisher loves Keanu Reeves movies? She does? She does. And how about Al Roker, Samantha Bee, Tony Hawk, Jane Lynch? What do they love, Ellie? You have to listen to the show to find out. So check out Born to Love, wherever you get your podcast,
Starting point is 00:01:33 from Lemonade Media. C-R-E-D-O! Freedom! Freedom! Freedom! Freedom! Freedom! Freedom! Freedom!
Starting point is 00:01:54 Freedom! Freedom! Freedom! Freedom! Freedom! Freedom! Freedom! Is it almost Christmas, Dears? I love to do it to my family. I love to yell at my family. I love it. Why don't you get the fuck out of here?
Starting point is 00:02:10 Can you keep it the fuck down? It's so therapeutic. That sounds great and feels good. How much quiet your parents wanted all the time? Yeah. They loved it. I guess because they had regular jobs and my dad needed to occasionally nap, which I do as someone who wakes up very easily.
Starting point is 00:02:31 I have sympathy for sure. Yeah, absolutely. That's hard. That's hard. But still they were feending for quiet. It is very interesting because I think Emmy, Emmy's in a very screaming stage. Nice. Where like you walk into the room, she'll go, ah! Not because she's frightened, but because she enjoys screaming.
Starting point is 00:02:52 Yeah. Yeah. And there was a time earlier where she was screaming very loud and I was, and I think I said something to the effect of like, honey, can we keep it down or something like that? And cool up was very quick to be like, nope, you scream as loud as you want. Wow. I was like, oh, OK, yeah, you're right.
Starting point is 00:03:14 OK, let's we don't silence female voices in this house, which now has come back to bite cool up because she was screaming at the dinner table, interrupting cool up, trying to tell a story. Oh yeah, well they don't, she'll never let you tell a story, just so you know. And she- That's not gonna happen ever again. She, Cool Up did say like, honey, I think we need to keep our voices down at the table.
Starting point is 00:03:37 And I was like, ah! Isn't that interesting, dear? Nice, nice. But- Well, I'm sorry that you guys are splitting up and. Yeah, this is how I decided to tell you, but. Yeah. Message received.
Starting point is 00:03:49 You got it. I would be so, if you told us on Freedom, I would send you to therapy immediately. This is where we tell all of our important stuff, isn't it? I remember interrupting my mom trying to tell a story. Like, there was company over and I wanted to trying to tell a story. Like there was company over and I wanted to talk to her or whatever. Oh yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:10 And it didn't go over well. It was not something she wanted to happen. Yeah. I mean, literally, we're at a point with Holly now where like if I'm on the phone, she, that is when she should scream is her understanding or cry for something like pretend cry or whatever. If I'm talking on the phone. Yeah, yeah, she does do that lately. Cause I think it's a baby reaction.
Starting point is 00:04:33 Yeah. I hope that's what you say to her. That's a baby reaction. No, but sometimes I- You're a three year old now. We do have a thing sometimes I find that I do that I'm like, is this just cause I'm like, I don't know what it is, but like I was driving with her this morning and she was like, like,
Starting point is 00:04:55 then she started laughing. You're being crazy. I'm trying to get across the lesson of being crazy. Ask me nicely. That's what we should be telling our children. You're being crazy. I'm trying to get across the lesson. You're being crazy. Ask me nicely. That's what we should be telling our children. You're being crazy. I don't know. No one believes you. No one ever will. Children are liars.
Starting point is 00:05:19 You know that expression, children should be seen and not heard. What is that about? You should tell me that. That's some Victorian shit. Yeah. I, I, I get, I don't know. Like I understand, I understand when, when parental. Units.
Starting point is 00:05:36 Roles were a little more like divided back when I was growing up of like, my mom is probably tired of listening to us all day. So I understand trying to quiet us down. My dad meanwhile, you'd think he'd be enjoying... Got plans to trap the dog. Yes. And to sign us off with chores. Red string board, trying to figure out how to trap the dog.
Starting point is 00:06:01 How to trap it? I don't remember that. He entrapped the dog. Entrapped. It was a sting. he entrapped the dog, entrapped. It was a sting entrapped. It was a sting operation. Yeah. But you would think that it would be like, oh, I'm home. Now I want my kids to be talking a lot because this is my reward for going to work.
Starting point is 00:06:16 Instead, it felt a little more like I've just been at work all day. Now I have to hear all this. But yeah, it to hear all this. You know? But yeah, it's like. Now I hear all this. But nowadays it's like, no, we want our kids to be constantly talking. It's like fun for us, I would think. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:06:37 Yeah, I mean, constantly, you know. Emmy constantly talks. I know, but Emmy constantly talks and we think it's funny. Oh no, I mean, I mean, constantly talks. I know, but I mean, constantly talks and we think it's funny. Oh, no, I mean, it's constant noise over here. I I do think it's very adorable. And I like all the things that she's saying for the most part. However, there are times where you guys disagree on a few things. Yeah, we have a couple of different political beliefs.
Starting point is 00:06:59 But like just trying to have a conversation sometimes is so challenging that it's it's like, yeah, I'm like, you know, we'll just do this another time. It is wild to think about in olden times, not that long ago, people had kids just cause you were supposed to have kids. Yeah. But it's like, where did love enter the equation for a lot of the true, like it's such an intentional thing for many people. Yeah. I don't know. Do you think people have, I mean, I'm sure there are certain people who just feel a sense of obligation to have
Starting point is 00:07:33 kids, but I think like my mom had kids, I think she was 20 or something when she had her first kid. And, but she always would say how she just dreamed of having a family when she was. Oh yeah. No, I mean, there definitely is. Oh no, there's for sure. There she just dreamed of having a family when she was- Oh yeah, no, I mean, there definitely is. Oh no, there's for sure, there's a lot of people like that. But I feel like there's also a lot of people, probably still to this day, who just do it out of a sense of expectation.
Starting point is 00:07:56 This is what you're supposed to do. This is, in our society, this is what you do. Well, that's why, that's why parents need to stop saying like, when are you giving me grandparentparent grandchildren? You know, it's like, because then you'll force your kid into having a grandchild that they, because they feel like I got to give this to my parents as a gift to them. Otherwise they're going to be,
Starting point is 00:08:14 does anybody have grant? Yeah. Well it's the person from the New York times I was mentioning the other episode. Well there's silent grief. Yes. So that's going to be a way where they might get what they want No, I think I think the guilting about it does work. I truly do I think that people tend to yeah, I think I think a lot of things like that in our society Just you just do because you think like getting married and yeah having kids
Starting point is 00:08:39 Yeah, and then if you're marrying someone you're like, okay, I'm getting married I'm supposed to get married together for X amount of time and X amount of time. And then obviously then we'll have kids. And then it's like, you kind of do write the story before it happens. Societal pressure, I totally understand. But the idea of parental pressure leading to somebody having children that they don't want is I guess because I'm so far on the opposite end of that spectrum that it's very hard for me to imagine. Yeah. I feel like a lot of people, like if they get married because their parents are pressuring
Starting point is 00:09:10 them, and they go, well, okay, let me give them this gift. Like, they don't think past the wedding. They think up to the wedding. And they go, okay, that'll be so nice when they see me getting married. They don't think about like, oh, and then the rest of my life is with this person. But I think that also works with kids where it's like, Oh, it'll be so nice to give them a grandchild and like they'll, you know, once a month or whatever, they'll be able to see them and how fun that will be. Oh wait, but I'm in charge of the
Starting point is 00:09:37 kid the entire rest of the time. I don't know. Anyway, that's why I had Emmy. To make your mom happy. And that's why we've left over seven children at the fire department. Yeah. And now they're all. They all became firemen. Yeah, they all became firemen and they have that sexy calendar. So it's not all bad. The thing is, Janie loves being pregnant, doesn't like being a mom. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:03 She just goes through pregnancy after pregnancy. And then we get to have babies. There are people like that who love being pregnant. Yes. That I always find like very, it's interesting because I can't imagine it. There's so much discomfort in pregnancy. Well, I loved it.
Starting point is 00:10:21 You loved it? I honestly want to keep, I wish I could keep doing it over and over. I'm not kidding. What it. You loved it? I honestly wanna keep, I wish I could keep doing it over and over. I'm not kidding. What did you like about it? I loved it. The attention? The attention, the doors opening.
Starting point is 00:10:34 People standing up on the subway. Well, you know, it was hard one. So it was exciting for it to happen. And I felt very grateful that it happened. And then, so that's a huge part of it. But then just the feeling of, I mean, there's a lot of anxiety. There's a lot of hard feelings that go along with it. So it's not, I'm not trying to sugarcoat that.
Starting point is 00:10:54 And it's very physically difficult. But I feel very fondly towards the experience. And I feel like, oh, that was very cool to get to do that. So I have that feeling in my head where I could see, I understand what a surrogate, someone who would sign up to do that. I understand what they, because I think before I thought, wow, how selfless, so impossibly selfless. I can't imagine putting your body through all that and like how it's also so cool and it's a special feeling. So yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:21 I feel like being pregnant, it's such a, um, it's such a natural thing, but it also has to be such a profound experience because we can think about it in a way that animals can't. Yeah. Yeah. They just one day they don't even know how it got there. They're just like, Oh shit. There's an Instagram, like people magazine thing or something where it was a couple who the woman had a sore throat and she went to the doctor and she had quad. She was pregnant with quadruplets. Wow. In her throat. They were climbing all the way up and she barfed them out.
Starting point is 00:11:55 She's like the top of the baby's head down. They kept going like, I don't think she's noticing us yet. Let's go up, up, up, up. No, I think we go down. I think we're gonna go up, up, up. And they had the quadruplets. I was just like, that's up. Blah. No, I think we go down. I think we're gonna go up, up, up. Yeah. And they had the quadruplets. I was just like, that's wild. Have no idea. That's always- That happened to me with quadruplets.
Starting point is 00:12:11 Yeah, yeah. That's so many. That did happen with a friend of mine where his wife didn't know that she was pregnant until she had the baby. What? How is that possible? I mean, I've heard of reasons why it's possible.
Starting point is 00:12:24 As he said, they both just kind of felt like they gained weight while they were dating each other. And then she just went into the doctor because she was having a stomach ache and had a baby. That's very real. Wait, she didn't go to the doctor until the day the baby was born. She was having a bad stomach ache, which was contractions. There's so many other parts of it. Do you know what I mean? It's not just gaining weight.
Starting point is 00:12:54 But then some people say when like, because there's that shock, I didn't know I was pregnant. She had always been irregular in her period. So people who are regular maybe don't even pay attention at a certain point, don't realize that much time has passed. Or you can also have spotting while you're pregnant that would make you think, oh, I guess that was my period. It was really like,
Starting point is 00:13:10 What about like the sickness and all that stuff and you eat dirt? She was barfing every day. This is as usual, I guess. She barfed every day since she was a baby. So, Okay, well, Is that true? No, This is as usual, I guess. Yep. She barfed every day since she was a baby, so. OK, well, it's over her. What? Is that true?
Starting point is 00:13:28 No. Jesus Christ. Look, I'm not saying that I wouldn't notice if I was pregnant, but she didn't. Incredible. I probably wouldn't notice. And then, you know what, Paul? What, Scott?
Starting point is 00:13:43 We just met the baby in question in Seattle. Are you fucking kidding me? Oh yeah, Lauren, you met her too. I did? Yes, we all met her up in Seattle in the green room. We met the baby? What? We met the baby, yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:01 She's not a baby anymore, obviously. She's, I'm trying to think of who we met, but wow, that's amazing. Yeah. Wow. I don't want to be any more specific about it than that. Thank you. But the baby was, is all grown up.
Starting point is 00:14:15 Well, we met someone who used to be a baby. Yeah, we met, can you believe it? Everyone you have met fits that category, but not everyone. I have a friend actually that does not fit that category. His name is Ben. He was never a baby. Yeah. He's, I mean, he's going to be at some point.
Starting point is 00:14:31 He's going backwards. Mr. Button. Oh yeah. Oh, you know him? Oh yeah. Yeah. I usually call him jammin.
Starting point is 00:14:39 Jammin? Do you be jammin? And I'm aging backwards too. Anyway, shout out to them. We talked about the second half nicknames before. Does anybody do jammin'? That's what I'm saying. Or Min?
Starting point is 00:14:54 Jammin'. Min? Jammin'. Min! I like Min. There was a character in Slow Horses called Min. I wonder if it was supposed to be short for Benjamin. I wonder. I will be quite surprised, And I wonder if it was supposed to be short for Benjamin. I wonder.
Starting point is 00:15:05 I guess we'll never find out. I will be quite surprised, but I'll allow it. Oh, thank you, Judge Judy. Don't have the bailiff arrest me. Ha ha ha ha. Ha ha ha ha. Hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot,
Starting point is 00:15:22 hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot sauce. Anyone want some hot sauce? So yesterday I was at Target and I was looking for some Christmas decor. And I was standing next to a woman who was on FaceTime with somebody and she was showing them various things like, oh, check this out.
Starting point is 00:15:38 This is like some champagne colored trees. And she was like, I think this is like my vibe for my house. And that girl was like, or person on the phone was like, yeah, that's totally like your style. And then they're like, she's like, yeah, how about these? And the person's like, yeah, I like those. And she just burped like super. I thought she barfed.
Starting point is 00:15:59 And then just burped. And then the woman was like, you're on FaceTime. And she was like, oh, sorry. And I'm like, but what, first of all, you know, you're on FaceTime because you're looking at objects at Target. So secondly, you're with your friend. And thirdly, you're in public where Lauren can hear you. And and yeah, fourthly, who's just going like letting the loudest burps out just on the phone.
Starting point is 00:16:22 You are doing something. You're burping in a in several no burp zones. Yeah yeah FaceTime, Target, Friend, other friend, around Lauren, me because it stuck with me and it sure did. Yeah I've known people over the years who think it's really funny to just burp as loud as they can. Yeah. And it's not funny to me it's gross. I do think it's funny when Nick just burp as loud as they can. Yeah. And, um, it's not funny to me. It's gross. I do think it's funny when Nick Swartz and burps and says diarrhea. He burps and then says diarrhea. He says it as he burps. Oh, okay. Well, that's fine. That's yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:01 It's so gross. It's funny. Um, I've never known anybody more obsessed with one word than Nick Swartz. The word diarrhea. It's a good word to be obsessed with. Sure. Oh, I wanted to tell you guys that I went for million. Most beautiful word. I can't stop saying that who brought up for million the other day. And I mentioned that about it. Someone did. I don't know. that. Who brought up Vermillion the other day? And I mentioned that about it.
Starting point is 00:17:25 Someone did. I don't know. What a fun puzzle. It was. I wanted to tell you about something that happened to me the other night. Please. I went to a concert with our friends in Manchester Orchestra. They were playing the Palladium here in town.
Starting point is 00:17:42 And it was a co-headlining tour with the band Thrice, who I do not know, and was not really familiar with. And I didn't- That's the three blind mice, right? Yeah, that's what it's short for, yeah. And- Is that Thrice times a lady or something? I don't know what you're talking about, honey.
Starting point is 00:18:02 Paul does. It's three, Thice time to lady. So it was a co-headlining tour. I didn't know who was first. So it turned out that thrice was first on this particular night. And so I went backstage to say hi to the bands and I talked to them.
Starting point is 00:18:22 It was very lovely. Catching up, said hi to them for about a good half hour. And then... You just kept saying hi, hi, hi, hi. Hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi. And after the half hour I said, okay, I'll get out of your hair because you're going on in 20 minutes.
Starting point is 00:18:40 And the band Thrice was still on stage. And I tried to find my way back to the crowd. And I went through the curtain that I thought was the curtain I went through to get backstage. And I ended up on stage with Thrice. And I looked out at the crowd. I went, oops. And I said an audible, audible oops.
Starting point is 00:19:06 Where was it? An audible oops? And the acoustics are so good. This is at the Palladium. That's crazy. And I just went oops and I like turned around and ran off stage. Did anybody see you? Yeah, the whole crowd saw.
Starting point is 00:19:19 I don't think anyone in the band did. I mean how far out of the stage did you get? Well, I didn't think anyone in the band did. I mean, how far out of the stage did you get? Well, I grabbed the mic, obviously, and I said, oops, into the mic. I thought this was the audience. I was next to the drummer. That's crazy. Oh, wow.
Starting point is 00:19:38 Like you entered from behind, not to, that's a shame. Yeah, yeah, I just pulled the, yeah, Lauren. That's a yeah. Yeah. It was, I just pulled the, yeah, Lord. Because how to get in one of our advertisers, Paul. Yes. How to get in backstage was this was this very similar black curtain. So I just like very absentmindedly walk through it. They should. Okay. Backstages. They should color code the curtains. Yes. And it should be uniform for every venue. Yes.
Starting point is 00:20:10 Like the to get on stage it's mauve move. Oh, I think it should be Vermillion. It's Taup. It's Taup. And a beige to get back into the audience. I think it should be tan. If you want to go to the bathroom. Mav means go if you're in a band and stop if you're not in the band. Like you have to.
Starting point is 00:20:32 So like a double sided curtain where it's red on one side and then green on the other. Yes, you can cross. So we're in derogations. Yeah. Yeah. We should eliminate doors in venues.
Starting point is 00:20:42 Yes. There should be no doors. There should be. And everybody's on the honor system. We have to harden our venues. There should be no doors. There should be. And everybody's on the honor system. We have to harden our venues. The curtain too backstage, it's red, meaning stop. Stop if you're not in the band. Stop if you're nasty.
Starting point is 00:20:56 If you are in the band, you can like, do a swipe a key card and it'll turn green for you. The curtain. The curtain, yeah curtain. Yeah. Yeah. It's one of those special curtains that can change color. Well, that sounds pretty special. Are we talking to you a hologram? Tell you what, how about this? The band is equipped with a liquid that only they carry that they then throw onto the curtain, which is red. And the liquid makes it turn green for them. And they go, oh, that is better. That is better.
Starting point is 00:21:25 I like that because it's so clear what it is. And yeah, that just feels good. Does every band have the same liquid? Each band member is given one bucket of the liquid. A bucket? You can't do it like a water pistol kind of thing. Nope. Got to be a bucket, like a bucket brigade. And I think that'll solve all of these problems.
Starting point is 00:21:48 That's gonna solve a lot of problems because think about it. It happened to you and you're nearly perfect. And that means it's happening constantly to people who are more foolish. Fools. Fools they be. So I want to apologize.. Fools, they be. So I want to apologize.
Starting point is 00:22:07 What fools these mortals be. Oh, the immortal boy. You know, you say things that sound just so quotable. Yeah. It's so rude. I want to apologize. I apologize to the band Thrice, although I know it probably gave the audience a thrill to see me.
Starting point is 00:22:23 Yeah. Do you think there was anyone in the crowd who recognized you? No. Do you think anybody there went, this isn't comedy bing bing. I bet there were a couple people. Maybe, who knows?
Starting point is 00:22:34 But if you did see that happen in the LA Thrice show, it was me. If you saw a dork wander on stage, we've finally come to the bottom of this. Andy the lead singer of Manchester Orchestra suggested that I should have had a harmonica with me and just like pull it out and show it to them. Anybody want this? Anyone want me to play this?
Starting point is 00:23:02 Do this? Okay, no. No takers? Yeah. Boy, the harmonica, it improves so many songs. It does. R.I.P Tom Petty. A lot like the saxophone. He's your go-to harmonica guy.
Starting point is 00:23:15 That's what came to mind, yeah. Who's the most go-to harmonica person? Bob Dylan, right? John Popper. Popper, you gotta give it up to Popper. He had a bandolier of harmonicas. Yeah. What does that mean? A bandolier like Chewbacca.
Starting point is 00:23:33 Like Chewbacca, honey. Yes, I understand that reference. Of course. Right? Of course. Dude, my deep, deep knowledge of Star Wars. I'm not done talking. And now we have to take a break.

Starting point is 00:29:11 What did everyone do during the break at home? Tell us now. Here's a moment of silence. What you tell us what you did. I did 40 pushups. Oh, why not 41 Paul? You've never been able to do 41. You always stop at 40. And I never will. And why is it he's a coward. Isn't it funny? Okay, in England, right? They say press ups. Why?
Starting point is 00:29:31 Press ups? It's the same thing. I've never, ever heard that. I feel like now they're just being obstinate because obviously Americans, there are a lot of words that, yeah, they started saying something and then we change it to our dumb American version of it.
Starting point is 00:29:48 Exactly. But pushups were started by Americans. Is that true? Oh, it's an American art form like jazz and hip hop. Started in the African American community. Yep. And so for them to change it to press ups just because they want to. I do think that push up is better than press up. It more, I feel like it more accurately describes
Starting point is 00:30:16 what is going on. Although then you have a bench press. So you have press. I don't know. Well, that could be a push. What about press on nails? Push push. But let me say this. Push on nails. I prefer what they call jumping jacks is star jumps. What? I love that. I think that's better. I think that's better. Star jumps.
Starting point is 00:30:35 I love that. That's so cute. It's adorable. It also elevates what you're doing. Let's do 10 star jumps and 10 press ups. At a certain point though, England, you have to just acclimate to what everyone else does. You got to start driving on the right side.
Starting point is 00:30:55 That's right. Because if your country is littered with every single intersection says, look this way, you're doing it wrong. Oh, so you're saying they need to do what we do. Yeah, exactly. You said when you're there, you need to do what they do. No, they need to start acclimating
Starting point is 00:31:12 to what the rest of the world does. Okay, so- In their country. Yes. Yeah. So you gotta start calling things the right things. Can't call them chin overs anymore. They're chin ups. So much about British fitness. Chin overs I made up. I do like star jumps a lot though.
Starting point is 00:31:33 I just imagining you watching YouTube videos of British people working out. Yeah, just doing calisthenics. This is what I watch. That's my ASMR. I love when they do the star jumps. I can't stop saying it. Guys, I've gotten real into those YouTube ambient things that are like 10 hours long.
Starting point is 00:31:55 You know what I mean? Of what? Where it's like a bucolic scene and it's raining. Oh, I've never really dipped my toe into that. I only have nine hours to watch this. That seems like something I should have on while I have family in town for the holidays. It's sort of like a background, like fuel log vibes.
Starting point is 00:32:12 Some have music, some don't. But I like, I've found a bunch of ones where you're on a ship and you see the ocean outside the porthole and it's like, you hear the ocean outside the porthole and you hear the ocean sounds and everything. Fucking love it. Does it make you seasick when you watch it? No, I don't know. I don't get motion sickness. Oh, you're lucky. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I don't have any problem on boats or cars or anything. I love. Oh, I've told you when we went on the
Starting point is 00:32:40 Iceland and the water was so you guys went on a whale watching trip in Iceland. And the water was so crazy. You guys went on a whale watching trip to Iceland together? Yeah. We do a lot of things without you that we don't talk about. What? Yeah. Is that cool? No, I wasn't there. He was using we about his wife. We went to Iceland and then we went on a whale watching trip where we saw zero whales, but I did see about five different people throw up on the boat. Oh yeah. Yeah. I get, I get seasick. It was, the boat was going nuts.
Starting point is 00:33:08 It was so much fun. That would be my nightmare. I, I, of course, you know, right before Emmy was born, we went to Italy. And we both decided, okay, we're never getting on a boat again. Yeah. We're never getting on a boat again. Because it just is. I'm taking trains or cars.
Starting point is 00:33:27 Neither of us enjoyed it. It's we get way too seasick. And then I just spent the entire boating trip throwing up when we go, going to a nice little Island for a lunch that we had reserved. And instead I said, take me home. Country roads. I'm thinking about taking. You were going to have to do two boat rides anyway.
Starting point is 00:33:46 Yeah. We were talking about doing a little Catalina day trip at some point. We were only halfway there. I've never been. Oh, it's cute. I mean, I've only been once or twice. I mean, it's a quick little, you could do it. You don't even need to stay overnight.
Starting point is 00:34:00 You could just do it. I'd like to see the Buffalo. Uh-huh. I heard that there's- I don't believe um, that there, I don't believe you want to do that. I heard there's like a tour that can take you around. Like, um, what was it? It wasn't a golf cart because there's the golf cart thing you can drive. When I was there, I read, I read to the golf cart and drove that around, which is really fun. I love golf carts. It's fun, but the trick you have to do is because it'll only go up to like 20
Starting point is 00:34:24 miles an hour is you have to do is because it'll only go up to like 20 miles an hour is you have to Like like it'll apply the brake if you're going downhill in it and you go above 20 miles an hour so you have to like get up to 20 miles an hour and then turn it off and Then let it coast and let it coast and it'll get up to like it'll get up to 40 or 50 And then how do you break? You turn it back on? The brakes will still work, yeah. And then when you turn it back on, then suddenly it like seizes up and breaks.
Starting point is 00:34:52 It's like, how long was I out? And go, why'd you do that? Whoa. Are there any golf carts in the cars universe? Pictures should be. Where would the eyes be? Now, if it's a golf cart, do you think it's like a preppy douche or is it like? Oh, it has to be, right?
Starting point is 00:35:10 Yeah. That'd be good. Let's do a spinoff. Like Plains was a spinoff. We should do our own golf carts. Yeah. Carts. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:19 And it's like Caddyshack, but in the cars universe. It should be called carts and it can include grocery carts, go carts, golf carts. So the golf carts, they all play golf. Because are there sports in the cars universe? I mean, there's racing. There's auto racing. I know, but that's, but are there other sports?
Starting point is 00:35:41 Like do they all play golf? That is a sport. And you need to respect it? I find the cars universe where basically one car, like a big truck opens up its ass and lets the other car drive up into it. It's just very, very bizarre. You're really obsessed with ass compartments. Opens up its ass?
Starting point is 00:36:00 Yeah. Yeah. You know, that one, that one semi that like transports Lightning McQueen to, to its races. He's like, hop on in buddy. And then it just opens up its back and let's Lightning McQueen drive into its ass. Essentially. It's just a very bizarre. Well into its body. Yeah. It's a really open minded moment. I guess it's akin to a kangaroo's pouch
Starting point is 00:36:26 if you look at it one way, but I don't know. But you wanna look at it another way because you're sick. You're a creep. Well, also, I guess you could say the back of the car on like an 18-wheeler, that's just an accessory. Like the engine and motor and everything are the front part. That's the beat.
Starting point is 00:36:43 And so it's a lot like having a baby Bjorn maybe. Aw. Aw. So it's not weird anymore. Cars is dumb. It makes me mad. What? Cars is dumb and it makes me mad. I want to be in Cars.
Starting point is 00:36:55 Cars is dumb and it makes me mad. It's a very frustrating movie with how little it makes sense, but then it does have that thing where it just has that nostalgia factor for Route 66 and the 50s driving culture that just kind of makes what? If I don't get to be in cars, do you not know that that's what this whole thing was based on? Is John Lasseter's? Was it based on Route 66? No, you know what'll make you like cars?
Starting point is 00:37:27 Cars land at Disneyland. Cars land, okay. Yeah, the Disneyland Cars land. It's so charming. Or will I just like that? You might like that, but also the ride is really good. What happens on the ride? Do you get in a car?
Starting point is 00:37:41 You're in a race and it goes through the Grand Canyon and all these things, It's really fun. Let me ask you, it's actually whatever it's called radiator spring. I know that this is it's radiator springs. Okay. Okay. Okay. I know this is a much discussed topic cars and the logic of the universe and all that shit. But do you see steering wheels in the cars? Yeah. Oh, come on. It's like it's like seeing your tongue. You know what, Paul, you're just mad that you didn't think of it because it was right in front of you.
Starting point is 00:38:13 You didn't have to think of a character. You just get it. Oh, the car I'm driving in. That's the movie. It's a movie about this. I tried to think of cars, the movie for such a long time. I would look at cars and I would say, how do they come to life? How are they talking? How are they friends? What do they do? And I came up empty every fucking time. I couldn't figure out a little bit harder. I tried
Starting point is 00:38:33 as hard as I can. I'm not that smart. There you go. I don't have an imagination. I don't have imagination. My brain doesn't do that. We've talked about this for sure that that thing of like, if some people can't visualize an apple, some people visualize a drawing of it, some people visualize nothing, some people visualize a very realistic thing. We've talked about this on the show. I think it's come up before. Yes, probably. I find it really interesting to think about somebody who can't see. No, you know what? I almost think not seeing something makes more sense than seeing
Starting point is 00:39:04 like a drawing of it. Oh, you know what it is? think not seeing something makes more sense than seeing like a drawing of it. Oh, you know what it is? I know somebody who can't picture things in history before the civil war. That's as, that's as far because that's what he's, he's seen. He's seen pictures like what's like something that we don't, what, what, like name an event that I can try to picture. Like if you're talking about ancient Greece or something. Oh, I can picture that. Yeah, of course. Bunch of guys in Togus. Of course you can. Yeah. But this guy
Starting point is 00:39:28 cannot, he can't do it. Why? He can't picture it. Has he seen gladiator? That'll give you some ideas. Don't know if he's seen gladiator. That's a great question. What if you put a gun to his head and said, imagine gladiator? What do you get with it? But you know the part that I feel like I can't really imagine if I want to just see the, that person's, you know, side of things is like, yes, I can see them like in like a Coliseum in that kind of situation. Can I see them just walking down the street, going back to their place? That's a little harder for me to like visualize.
Starting point is 00:40:01 I will have to, I'm going to double check with a mutual friend. It's a little harder for me to like visualize. Think of all the fucking you had to do back then. And the way your feet would hurt in those freak sandals. Yeah. I'm gonna double check with a mutual friend who will tell me what the thing is. Cause I don't wanna get it wrong. Would Greece have been better if they had invented the golf cart back then? Can you fucking imagine?
Starting point is 00:40:21 No, that's all they needed because you also, you don't even need it as you said, you don't need it to even be turned on. So they don't even need gas or understanding of how that would work. Do you think, do you think, you know how life expectancies have gotten longer? Is it because we've invented things like the golf cart or is it just modern medicine is the golf cart, your favorite invention? Be honest.
Starting point is 00:40:43 Yeah, definitely. Be honest. Definitely. definitely. Be honest. Definitely. I think they should have stopped there. I don't know why. I don't know why we've invented anything after it. Yeah. Definitely my favorite invention. I love that thing. I love how it goes. You know, some people say their favorite invention is electricity or like a toaster or an oven or like a fridge or TV. But no, I think golf cart, I think we can all agree because it's almost a car, but it's not. You can drive it without a license. You can take it off-roading. You can take
Starting point is 00:41:21 it on a studio lot. You can take it on a golf course. The key is little, that's fun. Yep. And you can fall out of it if you do a sharp turn. We did a, this is making me think of this, we did a three-meme episode that came out yesterday where the caller was asking us about our comfort watches and stuff.
Starting point is 00:41:38 And I do think that things like the Gilded Age and Downton Abbey, I do have a thing for scenes in those things where something is invented and everyone stands around gawking at it. And the scene in the Gilded Age where they turn on a light in the middle of the dark, there's a huge crowd gathered around it and they turn on lights.
Starting point is 00:41:58 I mean, that'd be insane. To see electric lights in a building. Whoa! That would be the craziest thing on earth. They showed people killing themselves because their minds went crazy. Some people just stripped down and start fucking each other. They're just reduced to their animal instincts.
Starting point is 00:42:14 One guy had a big knife, he started stabbing people. Yeah. That's a weird show. I should watch that. Do you know, I do have a, I love things that are set in Top Hat times. Do you know, I do have a, I do have a, um, uh, I, I love like things that are set in top hat times. I can always, I can nine times out of 10, I can watch something like that.
Starting point is 00:42:37 If it's a doctor, a doctor who episode and they're going back to top hat times, you know, it's going to be good. Oh yeah. And they're like this, for some reason now we have to dress up like the people around us. Yeah. If they step out of the TARDIS, they already have, they step out of the TARDIS and it's a futuristic world. I'm always like, couldn't you do this in top hat times? Yeah, exactly. Exactly. Especially the Dickens era. Oh man. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. If you think Dickens or Scrooge is going to wind up in this episode of Dr. Who,
Starting point is 00:43:05 this is going to be an A plus. If you think somebody famous is going to take inspiration from something that the doctor says, Oh yes, absolutely. That's one of my favorite time travel tropes is all these famous people are frauds. They didn't, they're dumb. They couldn't do anything. And it was the time traveler already knew about the thing that gave them the idea. It's all over again. Dr. Who says to Shakespeare of music, be the food of love. Let's eat. And he goes,
Starting point is 00:43:33 Hmm, I think I can use part of that. It was maybe one minor tweak. Do you have any opinion on this Dr. Who stuff that we're laying down right now? I like it. I love it. Lauren, will you watch Doctor Who for us? Only if I can watch all of it. Watch it for us.
Starting point is 00:43:56 Yeah, we want to be able to talk about Doctor Who and have you appreciate what we're saying. Fine, I'll watch all 39 seasons. No, you can, you, you can, uh, uh, uh, sorry. Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh,
Starting point is 00:44:15 uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh 60 years worth, keep in mind nine tenths of it is not good. And then enjoy. Great. I love when I'm going to dedicate thousands of hours to watching something that's 90% not good. That's crazy. Lauren, do you like any like sci-fi or anything? I do. I don't like, um, I, I, I do. I don't like, I do.
Starting point is 00:44:46 I, you know, like I like Black Mirror. Uh huh. I like a lot of stuff like that, like the future. There's probably a there's probably a lot that I do like. I like the future. Yeah. I like a lot of things that I don't that I wouldn't put on, but that Mike likes and and then I'm like,
Starting point is 00:45:07 oh, this is so good, you know what I mean? So I don't, it's not my go-to. A lot of genres are not my go-to genre, but then I end up liking them. Even like horror, like I usually am kind of like, oh, I'm too scared, but then I'll see something and love it. You know what we were saying is one of our favorite movies of all time, Parasite.
Starting point is 00:45:25 Parasite. We were both like, of our favorite movies of all time. Parasite. Parasite. Yes. We were both like, I could watch that at any moment. It's just so good. Is it too early to say the central theme of Parasite doesn't work? Do you remember when that happened? This is an inside joke. Okay, because I was like, don't ruin it for me right now. This was quite a day on Twitter.
Starting point is 00:45:41 We don't want it. We don't even give them. We don't need it. Don't even give them. We don't need it. Don't even give them. You know what we do need to do is take a break.

You what time it is. It's 12 47.
Starting point is 00:48:45 No, man. According to my watch, you're thinking too literal. Really? I need to think more metaphorically about what time it is. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:56 Okay. Seems hard to do, but all right. Dig deep. Okay. Try. I've done it. Try. Successful.
Starting point is 00:49:04 Great. Okay. Try. I've done it. Try. It was successful. Great. It's time for a threacher. What is a threacher? Everyone's asking me this. And I always like to tell them. Can I answer? Lauren, my gosh, of course.
Starting point is 00:49:19 A threacher is a game we like to play and it's also known as a buster. That's absolutely correct Say more queen always playing a game. We are because we just love to play so no I don't want to talk. No, I don't want to watch TV. No, I don't want to go to a party No, I don't want any of those things all I want is a creature, a creature is a game that's like a buster it wasn't me
Starting point is 00:49:49 it wasn't me did I caught you on the counter it wasn't me saw me naked in the sofa it wasn't me even caught me buck handed it's a buck handed buck naked buck handed
Starting point is 00:50:02 she even caught me red handed why were they banging on the bathroom floor? So gross. That's the one floor you won't bang on, Paul? Never. I will never bang on the bathroom floor. It implies a big bathroom, honestly. It has to be at least carpeted. For me to bang on the floor?
Starting point is 00:50:23 Yeah, Sounds painful. All right. You got it. Have you ever had sex on the floor? Either of you? I'm not answering that. You vile. I'm not answering that. Neither am I. It's none of your damn bees.
Starting point is 00:50:40 Okay. We got to do a three-chair because that's what we do. And I think it's good to do it and to do it right. Yeah. Now, I agree, Paul. I agree. Thank you. What do you remember our friend Michael Bliss who submitted dumb over under?
Starting point is 00:50:58 I remember Michael, of course, I don't remember the game. Well this is a game that I guess we played correctly once and then incorrectly another time. Oh, good. Here's how it works. Persons one and two come up with a question to ask person three that they wouldn't know. The answer should be a number.
Starting point is 00:51:16 Example, how many gallons of water are in the Pacific Ocean? How many lights are there in the Vegas Strip? We actually use those examples. Person three locks in their answer before any other discussion occurs. They cannot alter their answer. Persons one and two now play over under with what they think person three thinks is the answer.
Starting point is 00:51:34 That's where we got fucked up. That's where we got fucked up. Right. So I think this is a fun thing that we can now, we can right a wrong in history and play correctly this time. And then we'll, we'll, we will make the call as to the version that we prefer to Okay. At the end. Now who shall think of a thing and then who shall
Starting point is 00:51:59 guess? I can think of a thing, and then you guys will guess as to what I think the thing is. I can think of a thing, please. And then you guys will guess as to what I think the thing is. No, no. You guys would do an over under. Let's say I'm the guesser. You do an over under on what I'm thinking.
Starting point is 00:52:18 Okay, so then if I think of the thing, what does Lauren do in this situation? Just chills? I guess. No, one does over one. So it goes like this. I know, I know, but it was kind of off track. What does Lauren do in this situation? Just chills? I guess. No, one does over one. So it goes like this. I know, I know, but- Scott, so here's an example.
Starting point is 00:52:30 How many stripes does a typical zebra have? Paul will say 14. I say over and you say under. No, I don't think you do, because why are we repeating it? You're saying what does Lauren do while I'm thinking of a thing? Just chill?
Starting point is 00:52:44 No, I'll do my jig. My Lord. If you're not even going to let me talk, then why are we even doing this? If what? Go ahead. You guys do it. I think the zebra thing is good. And why don't we use that to start it off? I will be the guesser.
Starting point is 00:53:02 I'm going to guess that an average zebra, stripe wise, on them, they have 120 stripes. No, but then the question is, no, you did it wrong. You did it wrong. I was supposed to keep that in my brain. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:23 Well, that's out. But no, no, no, no. So yeah, you keep it in your brain and then we say what the answer is. And then we say whether you said over or under on that. Yes. More or less than the real answer. That's a little confusing. Scott, did you understand that? Yes, dear. He's so mad. All right. We got to think of another thing. Okay. It's better if I don't think of it because I'm the one guessing. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. To keep it above board. Okay.
Starting point is 00:53:48 And Scott, you can just chill while this is happening. Sure. Yeah. How many years does the average goldfish live? Oh, okay. And then we'll look up the answer and then you, we have to guess if you were Whenever you're locked in, Lauren can say what the answer is. And then you, we have to guess if you were above or below that. Lauren can say what the answer is. So let us know when you have your answer.
Starting point is 00:54:11 I have my answer. Okay, Lauren, have you looked up? So you guys share the answer with each other. I'm gonna say with the average lifespan, okay. We share it with each other. So you have that information, then yes, you share that with each other, not me. Then you guess if I think it's, you know, where you think my head is at.
Starting point is 00:54:28 Okay. Uh, I've looked at the answer. Okay. You'll okay. You text it. Okay. Great. Um, I think Paul is going to say it is more than that.
Starting point is 00:54:42 Really? I'm going to say he went under the answer. All right. Well, I'm gonna say he went under. The answer, what is your answer? My answer is less than a year. What? The answer is 10 to 15 years. Some can live 30 years. What?
Starting point is 00:55:01 Yeah, I said you would have said more, but Scott was right. Can you imagine getting like one of those goldfish when you're 10 years old and then having to keep it for 30 more years? No, that's crazy. I mean, there's the time those carnival goldfish will pass on. I see this this real a lot on Instagram. This woman who's had a turtle, she's in her 70s and she's had a turtle all her life.
Starting point is 00:55:22 Yeah, my friend has her turtle that she said since she was little and she's 39. All right. So now are we rotating to where I ask the question Lauren thinks of the answer and Paul, you just chill. As long as there's a just chill option. I like the game. All right. How many pounds does a cyber truck weigh? Oh gosh. Okay. I'll be thinking of that while you look up the answer.
Starting point is 00:55:59 Uh, okay. All right. I will text Paul the answer. Thank you, dear. You are quite welcome. All right, I guess I have an answer, but I'm not really confident. I kind of have, well, I'll just wait for you to,
Starting point is 00:56:17 you guys know what it is? I'm currently texting and it takes a little bit longer than what you would like. But I have just texted it to Paul. All right. And now we're ready. Yeah. What are you going to say? Scott? I am going to say she is going under. Oh, interesting. I'm going to, I think she's going to go over. Okay. Okay. All right, Lauren, how hard do you think a cyber truck weighs?
Starting point is 00:56:51 This is really hard. I kind of have no sense of how much a car weighs, but I'm going to say that it weighs 3000 pounds. I get another point. That's right. Because a cyber truck weighs 6,603 to 6,898 pounds. Wow. I was wrong. Over three tons. Wow. Three tons. All right. Now I have to think of something. By the way, Lauren, you get to chill.
Starting point is 00:57:18 Nice. If we're keeping track, I have two points. Paul has zero. Lauren has zero. Oh, I'm not, I'm not keeping track. So. Oh, that's good because I was. All right. How many grains of rice are in a one pound bag of rice? Wow. How many grains of rice in a one pound bag of rice?
Starting point is 00:57:44 How many grains of rice are in a one pound bag of rice? How many grains of rice are in a one pound bag of rice? Okay. I'm going to guess this. No, don't say the answer. I know I'm not going to say it, but I'm just telling the audience that I'm going to guess it. And I am thinking of a number in my head. And oh boy. Okay. I looked it up.
Starting point is 00:58:02 Is this going to be exciting? I looked it up too. And oh boy. Okay. I looked it up. Is this going to be exciting? I looked it up too. And I think he's going to say, I think he's going to be under. I think he's going to be over. Okay. Oh wow. Yeah. All right. Do you want my answer? Yes. Yes. I'm going to guess. 5,098.
Starting point is 00:58:29 I was right. Lauren was right. The answer is 29,000. 29,000? That's so many. It's so many. That's too many. Rice is little.
Starting point is 00:58:41 Rice is little, as I always say. We should make bags of rice half a pound at most. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Because I don't want to have more than 14,000 grains. 14,000 grains, yeah. How many grains of rice could you eat per sitting? 14,000.
Starting point is 00:58:59 Yeah, 14,000, no problem. I could do 14,000, maybe 15,000 if I didn't have a meal earlier. Yeah. I could easily eat half a pound of rice in one sitting. Yeah, I could eat four pounds of rice, but I could eat 14,000 grains. If that makes sense. Oh my God. If you cook it, I could even more. Oh yeah. Uncooked. I'm talking. I can just drink three gallons. Uncooked. I could eat half a pound of rice. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:25 With a spoon. All right. So if we're keeping track, I have two points. Paul has zero. Lauren has one. It's now Lauren's turn to ask a question. Paul will think of the answer. I will just chill. Okay.
Starting point is 00:59:40 My question is, how many, on average, how many Friday the 13th are there in one year? Okay, look it up to make sure that you- I think that's a bad question. Make sure that there is an answer. But I think there probably is an answer, but go ahead. Look it up. And if there is no concrete answer,
Starting point is 01:00:09 then we will move on to another question. Paul, or rather Lauren is looking it up currently. I've got it. You've got it. Okay, well you send it to a little man named me. The time for chilling is over. Yeah, but now. The time for chilling is over. Now, I'm ready for action. I'm trying to send it.
Starting point is 01:00:35 By the way, I sent the amount of pounds in the Cybertruck to the freedom thread. I didn't look. So you didn't see it. Okay good Okay, good Okay Got it Got it. Got it
Starting point is 01:00:53 Okay So now Lauren you you guessed the over under it's I'm gonna think he's going to go over I'm gonna say over as well. All right. This is intriguing. I'm going to say that in a year you get two Friday the 13th. The answer, my friends is blowing in the wind.
Starting point is 01:01:24 The answer is 1.7 times a year. My friends is blowing in the wind. The answer is 1.7 times a year. What? 1.7? On average, it occurs every 212 days. So really once a year. Wow. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:01:37 I almost said once. I almost said once. That's what makes it a good question, I guess. So did you both say over? We both said over and we both get a point. I have three points. Lauren has two points. Paul has zero points. I will now ask a question here. Lauren will guess and I, I'm just going to chill.
Starting point is 01:01:58 On the color wheel, how many colors are in the color wheel? How many colors are in the color wheel? That's a good way to write that. Um, on the color wheel, how many colors are in the color wheel? I'm going to say, hold on, let me just make sure that there are. It's annoying because the first thing that comes up is the AI overview. And it's like, fuck you. Uh, why don't I say how many colors are there and see if that Pona, there is an answer for the color wheel. Oh, what is it?
Starting point is 01:02:35 I'm sending it to you now, dear. Okay. I mean, I found, I, okay. Okay. Okay. How many colors are in the color wheel? Let me get an answer in my head. Okay.
Starting point is 01:02:52 I think she's going to go over. I think she's going to go over as well. My answer is 314. But I wasn't here from picturing the same thing you're picturing. I spectrum of colors like in a circle. Yeah. Yeah. And the answer is 12.
Starting point is 01:03:12 That's that's where you did. I would have just said I know it's not exactly what I was trying to ask. I was picturing like when that one where it's more like various. Yeah, where it's like little various gradients. Yeah. Okay, Paul, you got a point. You're more like various. Yeah. Where it's like little various gradients. Yeah. Okay. Paul, you got a point. You're on the board. Fun. And that takes us to, I have four Lauren S two Paul has one.
Starting point is 01:03:34 I think that means you won. Wait, is that it? I don't know. No, I think we still are. We still have, uh, Do you have some time? Yeah. And I think around. Well, yeah, because we've only question. No, I have to think of a question.
Starting point is 01:03:49 Oh, okay. Right. Yeah. Lauren. Wait, who chills? I think of a question. I am the answerer and Lauren chills. All right.
Starting point is 01:04:01 All right. Yeah. Great. And this was out. I believe this closes out our round. Okay. I think you, great. Yeah. And this closes out our, I believe this closes out our round. Okay. I think you're right. Yeah. Question.
Starting point is 01:04:11 When was the telephone invented? Hmm. So that's a number question. And we're going with Alexander Graham Bell Telephone. Not the actual first inventor of the telephone. Summertime, you guy. We're going with Alexander Graham Bell telephone, not the actual first inventor of the telephone, some Italian guy. We're going with the Roman calendar. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:05:15 Oh, that's a problem. I just thought you would just get it wrong. Well, I'm obviously going to get it wrong. No, you need to make a more educated guess. You're right. Let's wait for that to come true. I just sent that to you. OK. Yeah, I think he's going to go under. And you got the bottom number, right? Hold on.
Starting point is 01:05:43 Talking to Alexander Graham Bell. I see. Then under. I'm just gonna say under. I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say over. Okay. My guess is 1868.
