Improving Audio Quality

00:00:01
Speaker
I see you hit ah record. Hello, everybody. Welcome back. you so You clocked at that time. Good job. See, I started paying attention a little bit. It definitely wasn't all luck that I looked right there at the moment.
00:00:14
Speaker
feel like I got the wrong thing selected. Is this better? Am I louder now? Oh, yeah, you sound a lot better now. Okay. Yeah. picks up a lot of my mouthy sounds, though, on this setting, so i'm still trying to fix that part. I just discovered a whole other...
00:00:26
Speaker
deeper layer of ah ah customization in this application that I use. And so not to learn it all and to understand what the fuck I'm changing. Because there's got to be a way to do this right. well But anyway. Do you have pop filter?
00:00:42
Speaker
I do, but it's not like the pops that picks up. It picks up like, you know, like the clicks and the, you know, like if there's any moisture or dryness in your mouth. Oh, yes. Like if you're, when you're editing, it's hard to get those out. So it's better to try to do your best to filter them out.
00:00:55
Speaker
And even though they say like, Go ahead. no like got I was going to say, oftentimes I'll say like, oh, it's because you're dehydrated. But, you know, I can drink three gallons of water and it still happens or not drink any at all and it still happens. So like, it's just there's got to be settings that like if it falls below a certain threshold, I'm still trying to learn how to do that, though. But it's OK. We're all humans. What are we going to say? you I mean, my high voice acting teacher, they they ah they said the tried and true method is just turn your head away.
00:01:25
Speaker
Like if you need to you know, swallow some spit or breathe in real hard. Well, no, it's not about that. It's just talking in general. Like, yeah, um you just, those are always just speaking. Even if you had the microphone, like several inches off to the side, I'm not even looking directly at it. It just, it just picks it up.
00:01:42
Speaker
I don't know if it's this particular microphone or if they're just settings that I haven't explored yet, but it's okay. Yeah. I don't know. I always try to keep my mouth very dry. Anyway. Hmm.

Celebrating Podcast Milestones

00:01:54
Speaker
Hello, everybody. Welcome back to That's Our Q or TOQ for short. ah What was the thing? Good morning, good afternoon and good evening. Yes, I'm stealing that from Adam, who I think stole it from somebody else. I don't know. Don't ask him.
00:02:05
Speaker
Anyway, welcome back. We're me and my lovely assistant, Adam. That's me. Wait, I'm your assistant? ah um or It's kind of like a, you know, a co-ownership, right? So I like to think I'm your assistant and you're my assistant.
00:02:23
Speaker
We assist each other. ah Yeah, I'd say so.
00:02:29
Speaker
man-sistant? Anyway, what were you going to say next? Anyway, i was going to say before all that happened, that ah we answer questions here as if anyone cares what we think.
00:02:45
Speaker
um And usually we have a funny joke or two, but this is a special episode. Yeah, usually we throw in something as a ha-ha. yeah ah But this is a special episode. Oh, yes.
00:02:58
Speaker
For you see, this is episode 50. Yeah.
00:03:04
Speaker
yeah So yeah, episode 50 of That's Our Q. So we are going to be rapid firing a bunch of questions. Some people left for us on the website, www.funinstellersnetwork.biz if you want to leave us a question.
00:03:19
Speaker
And Datum, are you ready? Yeah, it's right on the main page. If you want questions, if you want to leave questions, you don't even have to look for it anymore. Look at that. We made it nice and easy for you. No excuses.
00:03:31
Speaker
Yeah. So, yeah, let's let's hit them. Let's hit those questions. I know we got ah several from ah Dixon and ah Adrian that they rapid fired over to us. So we're just going to rapid fire them back.
00:03:43
Speaker
Yeah. So let's just do that. And yeah, episode 50. Can I just say real quick, please? um You know, I know the show has gone through different iterations and through, you know, rotated hosts and guests and things.
00:03:59
Speaker
But like, but again, i never made this show to be. Like.
00:04:07
Speaker
it's just like a little mini playground, a little mini sandbox that I wanted to play in with a buddy of mine. And I'm really grateful that like, we're still doing it and that you were like, Hey, I'd love to get on TOQ again.
00:04:18
Speaker
ah you know, because it is something that like, even though I don't get to do it all the time, I look forward to when I get to do it. And like, you know, I don't plan on using this to be like a moneymaker, although maybe it could be someday, but I'm just happy to have like this little space that gives you and me a reason to get together for like 22 minutes to an hour.
00:04:37
Speaker
depending on how much we ramble and like just kind of shoot the breeze while we're here. Cause even if this doesn't turn into anything other than a show that people intermittently listen to and submit questions for, it's just a nice time to get to hang like with good company and just have a conversation in a safe space. So like not everybody gets to have this in a way that they can appreciate it as such.
00:04:58
Speaker
And I love more than anything. Well, I shouldn't say more than anything, but equal to a lot of the other aspects of the human connection to it that, The whole reason I got into podcasting in the first place was to go back and be able to relive memories because my memory is not so good.
00:05:12
Speaker
So like it's nice to go back and be like, oh, I remember when Danny and I did that thing. I remember when Danny and I ah answered that question. I remember when I got really mad and started of ranting about food banks. That was funny. You know, like it's nice to go back. It's the only reason I got into podcasting in the first place was to go back and be able to like โ€“ listen to it and hopefully in the grand scheme of things if somebody else happened to find it one other person and we're like hey i find joy listening to this then that's cool with me dog so you know all that to say that whole other sub rant to say like i'm grateful that we're still doing it and uh you know danny i'm really glad that you were like hey dude i would like to reboot that thing could i come on the show and do it again absolutely fucking so you know thanks buddy for they're doing so many of these with me post uh original incarnation of the show No, you're you're very welcome. and And thank you for making me want to cry on episode 50. I appreciate that.
00:06:07
Speaker
No, but I feel the exact same way. You know, um unfortunately, you know, life is hectic as always. So we don't get to do this as often as we'd like to. But every time we do and I realize what time it is and remember that it's Friday.
00:06:25
Speaker
I always look forward to these because I do just love our little hangout time. You know, I love our little bromance and I love being able to just talk to you. It's just always a good time. Even when you get really upset and talk about food banks for like close to an hour. I still, despite how I sounded, I i had a great time. I really did.
00:06:45
Speaker
um You say it was like an hour. it would Excuse me. It was like eight minutes long, which which admittedly... No, no, no. That as episode was eight minutes long. Then we ended the episode and you kept going.
00:06:58
Speaker
Now that I did do, but it wasn't an hour. I mean, the rant was eight minutes long or something like that. But anyway, let's answer yeah let's answer some questions, shall we? But first, I just want to say I love you, man.
00:07:15
Speaker
I love you too, buddy. Now, question time. Are you ready? Yeah, dude, let's go. Alrighty, let's see. First one I got here is from Dixon.
00:07:26
Speaker
Huh? But it's actually from Dixon. It's not from Dixon. Oh my god, it's not. No, it's not. That's Adrian's email. Oh my god.
00:07:38
Speaker
Yeah, say I looked further down the questions and saw the email and who it matches. Yeah. OK. Yeah, that's Adrian's

Personal Reflections and Experiences

00:07:46
Speaker
email. So friend Adrian, pretending to be Dixon, wants to know, what subject were you best during school?
00:07:53
Speaker
ah Reading, English and and younger grades, ah basic like adding, subtraction, multiplying, division and math. But for the most part, English and reading. All the stuff I was really bad at.
00:08:05
Speaker
Yeah. I was more of a science nerd. I was always very good at the sciences, especially biology. Up until chemistry, where I got intimidated by the math.
00:08:16
Speaker
Yeah, yeah. Chemistry. I remember chemistry being fun, but yeah, I don't remember. I remember enjoying it, but I don't remember what I did in that class.
00:08:28
Speaker
Yeah, I loved biology. um Actually, I know. I love bio. Um, that's why I knew like what blood types do. i know all this crap about DNA and all that. Anyway.
00:08:40
Speaker
Did you know the blood type is proteins? What? Did you know there's two? Two types? Yeah. Oh, hey, can I did a did I tell you this fun little factoid about my blood?
00:08:52
Speaker
I learned a fact about my blood. Okay. Recently. I've been getting a shit ton of calls ever since I donated blood at work. ah God, how long ago is that now? Is that... must have been like February, maybe March.
00:09:05
Speaker
um you know I've been getting calls, you know, like, Adam, we really need your blood. Adam, we really need your blood from the from the Red Cross, right? And I'm like, I really find that hard to believe knowing what I know about my blood, which is it's the universal recipient. So like I can get blood from anybody, but I can't just give it to anybody. My blood my blood can literally only go to AB.
00:09:25
Speaker
Right, AB positive. Right. Right. But I can receive from everybody. So I was like, why the fuck do they want this so badly? Like, that doesn't make any sense to me. So I started doing some sleuthing in the other day just because I was like, they call me a lot. And just I i wonder if they got my blood type wrong, because when my sister got her blood tested, she was oh. So I understood. They're like, hey, your blood is like the universal donor. If you can donate more, that'd be great.
00:09:49
Speaker
But Turns out that if they're just using like the platelets or the plasma, excuse me, in AB, turns out plasma in AB positive is a universal donor to everybody for plasma recipients.
00:10:04
Speaker
Yeah, I didn't. I did not know that. I didn't either, but I had heard um somebody say like casually. I never looked into it, but I did hear somebody say casually. that It's like the opposite.
00:10:16
Speaker
Yeah, that AB positive is the best plasma and oh negative, I guess, is the worst but plasma. Yeah, I don't know. All I saw was mine because I was just like blown away. I was like, why do these I get calls every fucking week? I'm like, like, you can't be that desperate.
00:10:29
Speaker
But now I'm feeling bad because I've been blown it off. I'm like, oh, shit. But they use the plasma and to like like for surgeries, like to like help people quickly, like patch back up after they've been cut open to the bleeding stop sooner.
00:10:44
Speaker
So they use that a lot more like more immediately until they can get them like if they need blood donors later, they can get the actual types. But they use my blood or blood like it to plot quicker. To get them to the point where they.
00:10:58
Speaker
Yeah, which I didn't know that. So now I feel like a real turd. That's really cool. It's essentially like a bandaid for them. And I haven't been given enough of it. So I get instead of instead of feeling like a turd because you didn't give enough. Shame on you.
00:11:11
Speaker
um Think of it like this. You just found a nice, easy way to help a lot of people with. I know how much you love to help people and the idea of just being like a good person.
00:11:24
Speaker
So like, here's a very easy way to help people. And you didn't even have to really go out of your way to do it. You're just special. No. And ah There's a place that like people keep telling me I should sell it because like there's a lot of places that you can donate your plasma to like for money, which is a part of me that's I don't know. I feel dirty about it because it's like like I'm not shaming it. Like I know it's a lawful thing to do and it gets a lot of people buy and and it's blood. You know, they check it. It's clean.
00:11:51
Speaker
You know, there's nothing wrong with selling your plasma. But I keep thinking like I would just give it away for free anyway. So like. I don't know. i feel weird about going to a place and selling it when like I could just go to like a the Red Cross and just do it, you know, like wherever they have their donations.
00:12:08
Speaker
So I have people kind of giving me flack because like, why would you not go get paid? And I'm just like, I don't know, because like, I don't know. It feels dystopian. It does. Like, I don't I don't want to feel like I the only way that I'll donate plasma is to get money.
00:12:23
Speaker
But at the same time. But at same time, like I could donate your plasma and use that money for the fun installers. That's true. i could do that. So you have a little. short They also put on like ah this little credit card. So there's a whole thing there, too. They don't just give you cash. You have to use like this little card they give you to spend it, which I also don't like.
00:12:46
Speaker
It's a little weird. I don't know. Again, I'm not shaming anybody who does it. I know a lot of people pretty much survive off of that, but like, um Whatever you decide, I support you.
00:12:58
Speaker
Also, one time sexual ah story alert one time shortly after the day after of my blood donation, I had physical times with a lady and I got to tell you, don't do that because I learned very quickly. I had the most alarming symptoms that I have ever felt.
00:13:24
Speaker
when like i would like At some point, I felt like really flush in the head. and I was like, what the fuck is happening? I stopped. I sat on my floor. and Then within about 45 seconds of coming to a stop and just sitting on the floor, just in front of my fan, blowing on me because I felt like I was just on fire. like My right arm, which was the the arm that like they took the blood from,
00:13:45
Speaker
like stiffened up and I couldn't open my hand anymore. Like it was just so bad that like my arm felt like it just rigor mortis was setting in, but it was like a pain shooting through it and hurt so bad. I was literally writhing on the floor. I was like, Oh, like I just didn't know what to do. And I don't know what the reaction was. If like I was pushing what little blood I had left in all the wrong places or if something else was going on.
00:14:09
Speaker
and Let me tell you, it was probably exactly that. That was a bad idea, and I've never felt anything that hurt so bad in my life except for getting a tooth pulled. But that hurt so bad.
00:14:20
Speaker
had that my arm felt like it was made of rock, but there were still tendons in there that were on fire. And holy shit, it took forever. And I just so happened, I still had like a couple like hydrating electrolyte drinks that I had purchased earlier in the day, knowing I was going to give blood just in case. So thanks, past Adam.
00:14:38
Speaker
I had them sitting on my stand, and like the moment I saw them, i was like, holy fuck. So was just like gradually like... was like extreme arthritis in my hand, like trying to open this fucking thing, like hold it steady so I could drink it while my body's trembling just to like replenish while I was sitting there miserable at like one o'clock in the morning. Oh God.
00:14:56
Speaker
So, hey guys, don't give blood and then bone. It's not a good idea. Don't do that. Don't do it. Who would have thought? Yeah, I thought that I was a tough boy. that Or that I was fine.
00:15:07
Speaker
But I guess it takes longer than, like, 11 hours to replenish all your blood, so... and You know... Yes, that there's a reason why you can only donate, was it once a week at most? I don't know, let's see. How long does it take to replenish your blood after donation, Google? Let me see.
00:15:24
Speaker
They say four to six weeks! Yeah, man, it's slow. replenish your blood cells. Your red blood cells. Plasma was replaced within 24 hours.
00:15:35
Speaker
Red blood cells replenished by the bone marrow within three to four weeks. Iron is replenished over approximately six to eight weeks. Dang, bro. Anyway, you want to answer more

Misadventures and Mistakes

00:15:45
Speaker
questions? wow I'm sorry. I kind of detoured us a bit.
00:15:49
Speaker
I actually have, because my brain won't let me go without it, but I have a story ah about this question. So what subject were you best during school? Mine was biology. And ah in high school, me and a friend of mine had kind of like a understood competition going where we would compare grades every test and see was doing better. And we were the two best in the class.
00:16:14
Speaker
And we had one big test. It was a Scantron. It was like it wasn't a midterm or a final, but it was one of like the bigger tests in between. And he gets his and he got 93 test.
00:16:27
Speaker
And he shows it to me and he's like, ha ha, beat that. And I get mine and I got like a 30. Hey. a And I'm like, oh my God, what the hell happened? He's laughing it up. um I go to the, t I immediately get up and go to the teacher.
00:16:45
Speaker
ah I'm sorry. She starts grading. And I know this cause she's saying like, you know, question one, the answer was D question two, the answer was a, And I notice that the fourth question or something, I i missed it on the Scantron.
00:17:00
Speaker
So all of my other answers were up a row. so everything was wrong because I had just missed one. Man, I've done that on tests before. That sucks. Yeah.
00:17:11
Speaker
So luckily, this teacher is super nice. And I take the test right to her. And I'm like, hey, you know I just noticed this. And she's like, oh, that makes sense. I was wondering.
00:17:23
Speaker
Why the heck you had such a low score? Because you've always been so good at that. Like, this was your thing. So she right then and there, she looks at it real quick and just kind of marks, marks, marks, marks it, hands it back to me.
00:17:36
Speaker
Ninety four. I showed it to my friend. I'm like, oh, man, he's like, ah, he was he was so pissed. Oh, man, I've done that where I was on a roll, like just plowing through a fucking test and then like.
00:17:53
Speaker
You know, um you just like you go up and you realize like, oh there's like bubbles that are missing or something. You're like, wait a minute. Hang on a second. Why um why do i have like five bubbles left? And you're like, ah, fuck, I like skipped the whole section.
00:18:07
Speaker
Oh, man. We also had a teacher that purposely did like all the answers were C. Just to fuck with us. Oh, that's funny. Because after like three C's in a row, you're like,
00:18:19
Speaker
This can't be right. Yeah, every time. This can't possibly be right. like It's like A, A, A, A. a It's like, hmm. I don't like this. and That's the problem with standardized tests, folks. um Anyway, that's my thing.
00:18:34
Speaker
What qualifies as a cannoli? I have no idea. i'll be honest. I'm stupid in this, and I don't know. What is a cannoli? Sorry, Red Blue. It's just a wrapped. It's a Sicilian pastry consisting of tube-shaped shell of fried pastry dough filled with a sweet, creamy filling containing ricotta cheese.
00:18:52
Speaker
I'm pretty sure it's the it's the thin roll. It's like an Italian burrito. It's like an Italian dessert burrito, but like really thin pastry. So I think... I don't know. Look, as an American who is Italian, I think I know that a cannoli...
00:19:10
Speaker
is clearly an Italian canon. Yeah, that's true. Come Hey, Giuseppe Mario, get the cannoli! You know, it actually it's actually from the Italian word canola, which means little tube.
00:19:22
Speaker
See? Like a canon. Like a canon, exactly. Yeah. Little tube. So there you go. I'm sorry anybody in Italy watching this. If it's a canon... It's there Sicilian. Actual Italian people, I'm sorry.
00:19:33
Speaker
They don't count, they're Sicilian. Um... No, take that, Sicily, I'm just kidding. Oh,
00:19:40
Speaker
Damn. i used to I used to date as a Cecilia girl and she'd be so pissy because I'd be like, oh, you're Italian, do this. And she'd like, i'm not Italian, I'm Cecilian. I'd be like, say a fucking thing. Sorry? Uh-oh. Sorry if hear fireworks, you'll never guess what day it is. was going to say, they're also going on outside my window too. says okay You'll never guess what day it is right Next question. when Can you recommend jobs that are not office jobs?

Career Advice beyond the Office

00:20:10
Speaker
Not for me, but yes, I can. From me, jobless. From me, jobless. Jobs that are not office jobs. Now, it's my interpretation of this question is because I know the person asking.
00:20:24
Speaker
I think it's like, What is a job that's not like manual labor that I can do that's also not an office job? Because I know this person, and while I know he likes to work out and stay fit, he's not like a I want to go out and dig holes kind of guy or top of the trees kind of guy. so So my interpretation is not like because I could give you like, oh, a carpenter, a mechanic, you know. Okay, okay.
00:20:51
Speaker
I got a good one for you then. Mbeluga. ah She works as a CTA. Which means what?
00:21:03
Speaker
It is a ah clinical technician. No, it's a clinical trial associate. okay Or a clinical trial assistant. Or something like that.
00:21:14
Speaker
um So, what they did, and what she does, is she helps the CRAs, which is the oh which is the I don't know.
00:21:27
Speaker
Clinical research associate, maybe? I don't know. But their job is to go to all the different hospitals and check up on all the different clinical trials going on in the hospitals, take records of what's going on, any results that are coming in.
00:21:43
Speaker
And then they would pass all that paperwork to... beluga who would then file it electronically and all that stuff but there's a job that is kind of like an office job you know you're not doing manual labor it's all paperwork but they travel hospital to hospital and it's not even like i don't even think it's always in the same area i think they do travel actually go all over the place um so there's like one that not a lot of people would think of Yeah, that's a good one.
00:22:16
Speaker
Mm hmm. Yeah, I, you know, let's you use your brain, but it's not like full on like manual ah labor. um Yeah, I would say like.
00:22:28
Speaker
There are like canvasser positions where you go door to door and you ask people to support something. There are positions where you can. um you can freelance, a lot of people freelance. So like, ah like designers will like design clothes for other people to make, or you can design buildings or you can design like, like interior designers. Oftentimes there are those that are just the planners and then they have other people like make this stuff too, you know, and they just tell them where to put it, you know? So there's things like that too, where you can be a designer of sorts.
00:23:04
Speaker
Also video game designers. Sometimes there are storyboard writers who just like, submit ideas for ah stories and and early storyboards that like essentially they say, OK, we have this book written or we have the script written.
00:23:20
Speaker
What is a scene going to look like? There are people who work on that to say, oh, this person would stand here and this person would stand here and this scene look like this. So yeah, there's a lot of stuff like that you could do that doesn't necessarily mean like you're sitting in an office, you know, doing TPS reports.
00:23:34
Speaker
You can also look for pretty much any actual office job, then see if there's anything that's full remote. I mean, i can't speak for ah where you're from, because I know you're not in America, but in America, there's a big pushback against working from home. But there are still a lot of companies that are allowing it ever since the pandemic.
00:23:55
Speaker
Um, so that's my plan right now is trying to find one of those gold, gold nuggets of a job. So that's something else you could do where you basically work an office job, but you do it from home. Yeah. You could also work, uh, there's different ways.
00:24:07
Speaker
You could also work at a food bank. Yeah. It's what I do. And while, yes, there are offices there, one of which I work in, there are also positions where you don't work in an office. There are ways you can support ah food banks different facets, like leading what's called a distribution, where we have people within our organization that will drive to different counties or different parts of the city with a couple of our large trucks, and they will...
00:24:38
Speaker
do what's called like a drive up distribution where they set up a bunch of cones in a parking lot somewhere that's been established ahead of time with the police and everything. And people drive up and they pop their trunks and volunteers and paid workers set like X amount of boxes of food inside of their car based on their family size that they fill out ahead of time.
00:24:57
Speaker
and they drive off and you do stuff like that where people just drive up and you put food in their their car and it gets them until their next paycheck or until you know the next meal or whatever. So there's stuff like that you can do. So there's community-based work and such as well. Nonprofit work in general you has a lot of non-office positions.
00:25:16
Speaker
Honestly, you want a good one kind of tailor-made for you? Here's what I'm thinking. ah Because I know you've lived in a bunch of different countries. Right. Like they just lived in Seoul for a bit.
00:25:28
Speaker
um And still there they're still in Seoul. OK. I couldn't remember if Seoul was the last one or the next last one. Yeah, they're still there. But I know you've been to a bunch of different places. See if you can pick up like writing articles for a travel magazine and just write about your experiences in all these different places, what you liked, what you didn't like, what you should do if somebody else were to go visit there.
00:25:52
Speaker
that's all stuff that you have that somebody else can't just, you know, I can't just go out on a day and get the experience that you had. So that is a job that is kind of tailor made for you right now, where you could just write about all these different places.
00:26:09
Speaker
ah Each one is its own article, it can at least last you for a little while. And English as a second language is also very big right now. There's a lot of people who will travel or get paid to travel to different parts of your own country or to other nations to, like, especially if you're bilingual, multilingual, ah that's a huge asset for a lot of governmental or travel jobs. so And I can see from all your questions that your grammar is fine.
00:26:40
Speaker
Like these are these questions are all easily written in well enough grammar to be in a publication as a as a, you know, like a travel itinerary guide or whatever.
00:26:52
Speaker
Yep. These are fine. Yeah. Yeah. Next question. Next

Travel Plans and Preferences

00:26:55
Speaker
question. German says, will Danny and Mbeluga also come to Germany at some point? No. Alright, moving on. Next one is from... Yeah, I wouldn't mind doing that. I wouldn't mind going to visit.
00:27:06
Speaker
Do you guys have a passport? Yes. Excellent. We do both have passports. You guys want to go this small? I don't know about that. You guys want to go next next next January?
00:27:19
Speaker
so I don't know. Maybe. we We'll have to see. Maybe we can work something out. Yeah, but just want to go for my birthday. I wouldn't mind going to in a couple of weeks. No, I wouldn't mind going to visit Germany for a while.
00:27:32
Speaker
That'd be very cool. You guys want to go to Canada with me? I would love to go to Canada again. I've never been. You guys want to go and show me around? Think about doing that for my birthday. I know some people there. I could see if they're around.
00:27:43
Speaker
Yeah, see if they're around. I have friends that live in Canada. I'm trying to come up with something to for my birthday and um i don't travel enough, so I'm thinking about taking a drive to Canada. I don't know yet, but I'm thinking about it. My roommates just come to drive up there from here.
00:27:57
Speaker
Oh, for me. Oh, well, from me. ah like three or four hours. Really? OK, that's not bad. No, it's not that bad at all. um Yeah, but I'm thinking about it.
00:28:10
Speaker
Let's see. All right. Next question. Dixon from also Dixon. um This one time on TOQ, I wanted to ask, what is your anti bucket list? Like, what is something that people like to do or say that's on my bucket list that you absolutely refuse to do?
00:28:27
Speaker
Go to Germany. Ah, suck it, Germans. I know. Anti bucket list. I would like to have the courage to go skydiving.
00:28:42
Speaker
I don't think I ever will. um But an anti bucket list. Ooh, that is a good one. ah I mean, i have things that like, i don't know if I'd call them like an absolute refusal, but like I have things that like like sightseeing so far anyway, of all the places I have gotten to go, like most recently, Washington, D.C.
00:29:11
Speaker
I got to say, aside from like. One of the museums I went to, the Holocaust Museum, usually like the more touristy places you visit, like the sites, like the things you just go to look at.
00:29:24
Speaker
I got to say, and kind of prefer to see them on TV because i agree they look way less interesting in real life. Like, I don't think I'd go see the Eiffel Tower and like, wow, that's cool.
00:29:35
Speaker
Or I don't think I'd go see the Leaning Tower of Pisa go, wow, I'm so excited I saw that in person. Like, I don't want to get a picture in front of it just to say I was there. Like, I just, like, so far, all these places I've been to that have, like, the thing you go to see, I'm like, okay, cool. That's, um...
00:29:51
Speaker
Cool. Yeah. like so So like, I don't have like, i would never book a trip or, or like anti bucket would be like, Oh, I gotta see big Ben before I die. Or, Oh, I gotta see the pyramids, uh, you know, before I die. Like, I just don't care enough about like seeing a thing. Like that's not as much the experience, especially because like,
00:30:16
Speaker
They're tourist traps. They're monetized. Like it's like, oh, here stand at this chain that's still like 900 miles away from it. You can look at it from here. I'm like, OK, cool, I guess.
00:30:28
Speaker
Like, you know, I'd rather go inside one of the pyramids. That would be fun, you know, or like, I don't know. Let me go inside the Washington Monument. I know there's a door in there somewhere.
00:30:38
Speaker
um You know, I went to go see the Alamo just so I could remember it. And I was very underwhelmed. Like the gift shop was way cooler looking than the fucking what was left of the Alamo. I'm like, oh, this was it? Cool, I guess.
00:30:49
Speaker
You know, like, I don't know. Just like going to see something just because you want to see it as like I don't know. That's not motivating for me at all. I just don't fucking care like at all. So like if it's just going to see something to take a picture, like an experience is what I want to see. But if I'm just going to go see it, I don't care.
00:31:06
Speaker
So I guess that's my anti bucket list is like I don't I refuse to travel somewhere just to look at something. It's just I don't care to do that. That makes sense. Does that is that answer the question? i think Because I actually have gone to a bunch of places to do sightseeing, and I have found that I agree with you when it comes to most places, right? If I'm looking at buildings and stuff, you can never get close to them for the most part.
00:31:33
Speaker
ah The only one that really was different to me was i went to Pompeii and you got to actually walk along like the old hardened magma and you could see all the ruins in the magma and all that. That was cool.
00:31:49
Speaker
You got to walk through them. Right. Well, that's more of an experience. You can go and take a picture from like. But I've also been to the Colosseum of Rome. You can't get anywhere near it. You know, you can just look at it. And after five minutes, you're like.
00:32:03
Speaker
All right, I saw the Colosseum of Rome. um However. ah I feel differently about animals. I've been to Alaska before, and i've been I know where my parents live. Sometimes there's like dolphins and stuff, and getting to see them is always a freaking treat.
00:32:24
Speaker
Alligators, always a freaking treat. When I went to Alaska, I saw a bear, like a huge freaking grizzly or whatever, brown. It was really cool. It was on the other side of a lake, thank God.
00:32:37
Speaker
But I do feel different for animals. But when it comes to places, I agree. It's like, it's fun for... It's fun for a while. If it's a hiking trip to get there, that's pretty fun.
00:32:48
Speaker
But if it's just like sitting in a sweaty bus, you get there and you look and then you take a sweaty bus home. It's like, yeah. No. Yeah. I'm finding that like, I think if I happened upon some of these things, like if I had no idea what the pyramids looked like and I was walking in the desert, not knowing what the fuck I was doing and I was lost and I happened upon this wonder, I'd be like, holy fuck.
00:33:14
Speaker
Like, you know, maybe I would like, it's different, but like, I already know of these things and like, Again, the way they have it set up that you can't even get close to the most of the time. It's like, I don't know. It just feels like a lot of that wonder is being removed because it's just an attraction now. Yeah. If I could like, like I saw the fucking Space Needle and went up on the Space Needle and like,
00:33:35
Speaker
To see it, extremely underwhelming. Like, just to see it around the city, like, that's it. That's the thing. But going up in it was still like, it was cool, I guess. Like, it was more of a gift.
00:33:47
Speaker
The thing is, most of the building at this point is an elevator and a gift shop on the bottom. and like You go up and there's kind of like a little cafe thing, but like it's not really open anymore. it's just like a place to sit.
00:33:57
Speaker
And like looking out over the glass was an interesting experience, and I remember doing that. so But again, it was more of an experience there. But just going like, oh, look, the space theater. I'm like, oh fucking K. Like, that's it? Okay.
00:34:09
Speaker
Like, cool. um But at least that I got to go inside. But again, the moment you go in, you go up the elevator, you come down, they push you into a gift shop. And it's all just monetized. And it's just like, I don't know, that just takes it away from me. Like, I just don't.
00:34:25
Speaker
You know what is very cool, though? That was a lot of fun. ah Well, first of all, sightseeing in Vegas is a different story. You can go and sightsee there, or at least you could. I know it's not as good as it used to be. There used to be shows that would play outside all the different casinos.
00:34:43
Speaker
um But if you want a crazy experience, go to Vegas and go have dinner at the ah
00:34:53
Speaker
Strat. That's short, though. What's what's the The Stratosphere. Yeah. I've been there at the Stratosphere. It's a giant. It's kind of like the Space Needle. It's like a giant tall tower. The top of it is a restaurant and it slowly revolves um so you can see everything.
00:35:11
Speaker
um But there is an attraction that I didn't even know was there the first time we went. And you can go up to the top onto the roof and jump off.
00:35:22
Speaker
You're attached to like... you know You're attached to like all these lines and stuff, so yeah breaks you before you hit the floor, but you can just jump off the top and fall all the way down.
00:35:34
Speaker
I didn't know that. So we're just eating and slowly rotating, and suddenly I just saw somebody jump off the side of the building? And you're like, oh, fuck, I got to call somebody. ah Yeah, I was like, ah I'm sorry. did Did you see that?
00:35:49
Speaker
And then we noticed all the lines and we asked our waiter what it was about. And he told us it was like a suicide booth. But it was just like a line. you were just like no no no that's go It's like, no, that's cool. They're allowed to as long as they do it on that side of the street. yeah We don't care. That's that's it. not they They end up in the landfill over there, which is where we want them. So, like, you know, we have one mattress set up in the landfill to see if you can land on it.
00:36:12
Speaker
Yeah, like I said, you win $2 billion dollars if you hit the mattress. If you hit the mattress. Dude, people would sign up. Oh, absolutely. People would sign up. You know they would. There'd be a litany of paperwork you'd have to have somebody fill out.
00:36:26
Speaker
But it's like, if you jump off, free jump, off of this tower, and you land on, it's like Assassin's Creed style, if you land on this one thing that will actually save your fucking life, that's the only thing that'll cushion your fall.
00:36:39
Speaker
Otherwise, you are going to meet certain doom or you will be crippled. You have to side us away, but you will get a billion dollars if you hit it. You know, you fucking know. someone Oh, absolutely.
00:36:52
Speaker
You'd have a line going out the door. you kidding me? Dude, I'm telling you, and just they're like, you know what? I don't know why they're British. And they just like do a fucking a gainer off the side of the building. Like, my God, do a flip.
00:37:08
Speaker
Yeah, honest to goodness. Let's line up all of our billionaires to go do that. like you know If you want to get even richer, just do a swanton bomb off of there and see if you can hit the mattress.
00:37:18
Speaker
um I bet you can. You're the best at everything. You won't. No balls. You won't. You won't. No balls. Anyway, um ah there's something else I was going to mention about that. I had something about anti-bucket list because like bucket list is usually like I want to do all these things before I die. Or I guess anti-bucket list would be like, I don't want to do any of these things while I'm alive, i guess.
00:37:45
Speaker
like Yeah, I guess it's it's something most people would say they want to do that you don't want to do. oh Oh, right. what but people What most people say they want to do. What's something that's usually on somebody's bucket list? that i was gonna say I was going to say vote Republican, but that's not the question. That is not on my bucket list. No, just going to say, your answer is better. I thought it was like, what's something that just absolutely don't want to do during my life?
00:38:11
Speaker
um Sorry, guys. I'm a little salty because of the big ugly thing that happened today. so Sorry. um But anyway, so... so If it's something that everybody says, oh, I want to do this, but I'm just like, I absolutely refuse to do it.
00:38:29
Speaker
I'm trying to think as much as like you said, skydiving, bungee. I mean, i I have one because I haven't answered yet. Oh, you haven't? Oh, shit. I'm sorry. I thought you did. No, it's fine. I was actually trying to get out without doing it, but then I kick thought of one.
00:38:42
Speaker
OK, well, a threesome. Not into it. Don't care. Don't want to do it. That's fair. Yeah. I know a lot of, especially dudes, are like, oh yeah, before I die, I'm gonna have a threesome with two supermodels.
00:38:57
Speaker
I don't care. We went over this in the sex episode. like That's not how I see it. Not my thing. I'm good. I'm sorry again for all the explosions going on behind I can see on my waveforms that they're going nuts.
00:39:12
Speaker
That's okay. um But yeah, no threesome. I'm good. I'm trying to think of... trying to type in some just to kind of see what other people say.
00:39:23
Speaker
Like... You mean you're cheating? Let's see, like... I don't know what... come here for our answers, not the internet's. No, I'm looking up bucket list items, not like anti-bucket list items. Like, visit every continent. Like, just again, i'm trying to think if any of these jump out of me that, like, I absolutely like, I don't care to do that. I refuse to do that.
00:39:42
Speaker
Um... Let's see. Explore a cave, swim with dolphins. I refuse to swim with dolphins. There you go. Fuck those porpoise little bitches. Okay, well, I just said how much I loved seeing them like 10 minutes ago, but sure, go ahead Yeah, well, hey, you know what? You know what, Danny? That's your life, and you're allowed to have it, and I respect it.
00:40:01
Speaker
But dolphins are little molesters, and I hate them. That's fair. Fuck dolphins. They're stupid. I don't people. Pigs are smarter than dolphins, but we eat pigs. We should be saving pigs and eating dolphins. That's all I'm saying.
00:40:15
Speaker
I refuse. refuse it like I go swim to dolphins. I don't care, too. I don't trust them. Don't care. Fuck them. All right. You hate that. I will never run a marathon.
00:40:26
Speaker
Fuck that noise. Sounds like work. Does not sound like fun. I will never want to do a marathon. There's another one. Now I should be clear about mine. I ran in a marathon, but I did not run a marathon. I ran like five miles in the leg of one. I don't know if I'd ever run like a full marathon or a half like I just.
00:40:47
Speaker
I don't care to train that hard to do that. Let's see. There's one that's... um Here's another one for me. ah Except I have done this, but ah attend a formal event.

Social Preferences and Dislikes

00:40:59
Speaker
I have done it. Would not recommend. yeah If I could, this would be on my anti-bucket list. I am at home in t-shirts and so and sweats. Yeah, I am that guy when all of our friends come over and they go like, Hey, let's go out to eat. I'm like, Sure, let me not change my pants into real pants and just go in sweats.
00:41:20
Speaker
um I hate getting dressed up. I know. i know. I look like a million bucks. I know. But I hate. Let's see. Climb Kilimanjaro again. Sounds too much like. word Yeah, that I don't care to do. It's not that I refuse to do it, but I don't care.
00:41:38
Speaker
ah Get married. Would not recommend. Yeah, honestly, the just I guess the only one that really invoked a ah reaction for me right away was the dolphins. like i don't I refuse to swim with dolphins.
00:41:50
Speaker
Honestly, I don't care to swim with most things. know i just like Well, I've done this too. I'm a land animal. I don't care to like go swimming with creatures who dominate the water. Like, you know what?
00:42:01
Speaker
That's your turf. You stay there. Like, I'm not going to come in there and fuck with it. I'm sorry that my people pollute it sometimes. But like, I'm not not going to come in there. I don't care to. It's your water.
00:42:12
Speaker
I'll get a pool. I'm fine. OK, my body has an anti bucket list of achieve my goal weight. Yeah. Yeah, my body refuses this one so that I'll count that one.
00:42:24
Speaker
I'd love it, but my subconscious says Your subconscious? Yeah, well, my body. It says no. Your mind's telling me no My mind says, please, body, please.
00:42:38
Speaker
My body says, no, your blood sugar's just gonna drop. You silly diabetic, you. Idiot. Yeah, you dumb-dumb. ah Dye your hair. Age is doing that for me. I don't need any help.
00:42:51
Speaker
Okay. Explore cave. Oh, I would like to do that. Yeah, not Spelunkin. Not that thing where they're like, you know, crawling on their bellies through like a three inch gap.
00:43:02
Speaker
I'm not doing that. I do. know i No, I would not. No, this goes back to the goal weight thing. I will get stuck. You won't get stuck if your whiskers, if your whiskers can pass, you can make it. That's how cats do it.
00:43:17
Speaker
I'm not a cat.

Exploring Historical Slang

00:43:20
Speaker
If anything, i'm more of a dog. Fair. Hey, do you want to learn some alleged 1890s slang?
00:43:28
Speaker
Oh, hell yes. 1890. Now, i just giggled this. I'm on a giggled. You giggled this? I giggled it. Yeah. oh now we need to start a google competitor oh man again um all right this is from alpha dictionary.com so i don't know if it's like an alpha if it's alpha beta or if it's like alpha bros who think they know stuff they don't because they're bunch of incel little bitches but anyway according to this these are 1890s slang so take it with a grain of salt
00:44:00
Speaker
So number one, a booster, somebody who is a strong supporter of something like she is a booster of the high school football team because they had those in the eighteen ninety s ah Let's see. Chew the fat to spend time talking. We've heard that before. know that.
00:44:16
Speaker
Ducky means something's like, OK, or all right. um Just ducky. Yeah, I think it's ducky. Apparently, apparently that was in I don't know if that's true but it sounds more like nineteen fifty s but sure. It does? I'm just telling you what they told me.
00:44:29
Speaker
um Panty waist, a weak, indecisive person. 1890s, is it really? I don't know. Okay, if you say so. I'm really not buying this 1890s. I don't know if we should go off of this one.
00:44:41
Speaker
I don't think so. That that can't be right, right? I don't think it is. I don't think so. There's one called Jiggery Pokery. I know Jiggery Pokery. Do you really? ah Well, I've heard it before. Yeah.
00:44:54
Speaker
Really? Yeah. Isn't that like um kind of like a trick? Yeah. You're pulling a jiggery pokery. Yeah. yeah What? Get the fuck out of here. Yes. What did I knew? i don't know. I just I've heard it before. I've definitely heard it.
00:45:08
Speaker
I've used it. I found a new list from Mental Floss. It just says 1800 slang. So we're going go with these instead. OK. This one says Batty Fang. See, that sounds more like It does.
00:45:20
Speaker
it' but It means to thrash thoroughly, possibly from the French, butter offen meaning to like to just be when it says to thrash thoroughly. I'm assuming it means like either just to thrash about or to kick someone's ass. But I got the idea of like kicking somebody's ass.
00:45:38
Speaker
Yeah. Or like hitting something hard. Yeah. This one's called um Bricky, Brave or Fearless. Um, so like, what a bricky girl she is, says this one. Um.
00:45:52
Speaker
Ooh, I'm stealing that one for. Bricky. Bubble around. A verbal attack generally made via the press. Um, let's see. Um, it means i will back a first class British subject for a bubbling around against all humanity.
00:46:07
Speaker
Um, so I guess, uh, yeah, that's the whole thing. This one's called Can't You Feel the Shrimps, which means to smell the sea. I don't like that.
00:46:18
Speaker
It's a Cockney phrase from 1877. Can't you get you i'm sorry about smell, can't you feel the shrimps? Can't you feel the shrimps? Gauvna, can't you feel the shrimps? Oh god, that one, like southern. I'm so sorry. Yeah, this one's... um Cheek and crust.
00:46:36
Speaker
What the low classes would have said instead of Jesus Christ. Frightful at first sight, this phrase suggests a slight sense of respect by yelling by its veiling of the oath. So they'd say cheese and crust. Oh my God.
00:46:52
Speaker
that's
00:46:55
Speaker
um Cop a mouse, which means to get a black eye. i'll never heard that one. Cop in this sense is to catch or suffer. So a cop a mouse means to catch a black eye.
00:47:06
Speaker
Did you know that? I didn't. I did not know that one. I never heard of black eye being referred to as mouse. A black eye? Yeah. I never heard of that referred to as a mouse.
00:47:17
Speaker
I don't know. Yeah. Just things they say. Yeah. It's almost like this was a long time ago. It was a long time ago, apparently. This one says Enthusi-Mu-Z.
00:47:29
Speaker
I'm sorry? Is it Enthusi-Mu-Z? No, it's got two Zs. Enthusi-Mu-Z? Enthusi-Mu-Z? I feel like Enthusi-Mu-Z would be. That sounds probably better, but it's spelled Zs. It sounds like what would It's spelled with two Zs instead of one Z, where the mu-Z part is.
00:47:45
Speaker
Hold on.
00:47:48
Speaker
Enthusi-Mu-Z? It's Enthusi-Mu-Z. Hang on. let's There we go. That's what it looks like. Let us know in the comments if it's Enthusi-moozy, because that sounds funny, or it's Enthusi-mutzy.
00:48:01
Speaker
But it's a satirical reference to enthusiasm, apparently. ah Let's see. There's a gal sneaker, an 1870s term for a man devoted to seduction.
00:48:13
Speaker
You know, or as we call it modern days, a womanizer. She's a womanizer, he's a womanizer. Sorry. A giggle mug, which is a habitually smiling face. I like that.
00:48:26
Speaker
Giggle mug's pretty funny. I do like it. like a good, a good giggle mug. And yeah, a giggle. Let's see. ah gigle mug ah A a giggle, a bucket list.
00:48:38
Speaker
A bucket list. No. Anti bucket list of. Giggle mugs.
00:48:49
Speaker
Or Enthusi-Boozy. I'm just going to Enthusi-Boozy in the title and instead. i can't. I'm looking so hard for anywhere where they have like the pronunciation and nobody has it.
00:49:02
Speaker
Oh. I don't know. This one isn't says not up to dick, which means you're not feeling well. So... ah You know, I'm sure connotations have changed since then.
00:49:16
Speaker
Wait, you're not up to dick today? No, I'm absolutely up for dick today. I'm up to dick today. What about Skilimalink? Skilimalink. That reminds me of the Skidamarinky Dinky Doo.
00:49:28
Speaker
Yeah, Skilimalink means your secret, shady, or doubtful.
00:49:35
Speaker
And then this one's called... We'll end on this one because I know this is near and dear near dear to your heart. This one's called Smothering a Parrot. Oh, no! And it means drinking a glass of absinthe... I guess...
00:49:49
Speaker
Jesus. Smothering a parrot. Oh, this one's called Whooparups. Interior Noisy Singers?
00:50:00
Speaker

Misunderstood Language Phrases

00:50:10
Speaker

ah Low class phrase means thoroughly. You umble cum stumble me. You thoroughly misunderstand. Yeah, I would say that this whole class is able to humble come stumble what you're saying.
00:50:35
Speaker
Yeah. I don't know. You humble come stumble this humble come stumble. Maybe you don't. You totally misunderstood it. You know what? Maybe maybe it's less about like putting it in a sentence and it's more of a response.
00:50:49
Speaker
Right? Because it says it's a low class phrase, meaning thoroughly understood. So maybe it's kind of like when someone says like got it or capisce. Right? You would say humble come stumble.

So I want you to go to somebody who you know, who you think is brave, fearless, maybe an all around, you know, shining knight, male or female, doesn't matter, or anything else, doesn't matter.
00:52:12
Speaker
And call them Bricky. Tell them that they are Bricky. Man, You are so bricky for doing this show with me. I thank you so much from the bottom of my heart. You know, I know it's not easy to always come out here and just speak into a microphone for a while. So I want you to know it's very bricky of you to do that with me.
00:52:30
Speaker
So bricky. i appreciate the brickiness of it all as well. And, you know, I unbecome stumble that people can't always, know, get together and do this. You're right. I think that is the wrong way to use that.
00:52:48
Speaker
yes That's the toughest fucking thing. ah yeah I don't know why. That's such a great man phrase. I need to figure out how actually use this.
00:53:01
Speaker
I'm telling you, it's probably just a response. It's probably it's probably just like capisce or savvy, right? It's got to be. It can't be anything else. I can't imagine. It's got way too many syllables in it to throw it in the middle of a sentence. It's it's too freaking hard to say.
00:53:19
Speaker
Dude, it's so fun to say. It's like something out of a fucking Dr. Seuss or Shel Silverstein book. like it sounds like people like oh you know oh boy did he grumble and did he did he crumble and he umble come stumbled up to his bumble like it just sounds like something fucking one of them would write in a book like it's just oh man like slishity sloshity rain in my head which is a great poem by the way oh my god here we go here we go oh did you find something uh here's an example sentence Well, he stole on behind a rock like a Coast Guard man watching a boat and got near the noise.
00:53:56
Speaker
He couldn't umblecum stumble the words. They were Greek and Hebrew to him. I wonder. So it literally is just being used as and understand instead of understand.
00:54:07
Speaker
I think umblecum stumble is probably like maybe it's like no way. Maybe it's like cheese cheese and crust in a way like, you know, or like how some people like don't. It's a very.
00:54:18
Speaker
Right. So what I'm saying is like maybe like people and since it's a lower class word, maybe it was like that was what they thought people were saying. Right.
00:54:29
Speaker
Like, you know, it does say it's probably it says in the entomology here. Thank you. Lexicophilia.com for this. Oh, man, I feel you.
00:54:42
Speaker
The entomology probably from the word under come stumble to understand. and well I guess that's higher society English, whereas this would have been lower society English.
00:54:54
Speaker
What's the fucking word that they're saying that we don't use any? undercom Under come stumble. Under come stumble. It has one word. Under can stumble. Oh, I see. i see. And then, yeah, like the slang picked up of humble can stumble.
00:55:08
Speaker
um will come right yeah Right. that's like it's like like That was my impression was that it was like they have only ever heard the word. So that's how they thought it was spoken. So that's what they tried to say.
00:55:20
Speaker
right So like instead of under come stumble, it would be like humble come stumble. And they're like... like i so Slight tangent before we end the episode. I have a hard time knowing if this is real or not, but I'm starting to think that it is.
00:55:34
Speaker
But I see these trend these trends because like people take screenshots of like text messages or Twitter exchanges and put them on Instagram. right and like I never know if it's posed or if it's real.
00:55:46
Speaker
But I saw some two examples of this recently of somebody who I think genuinely like doesn't understand the language or, you know, in English is their primary language, but they just don't read a lot to see it.
00:55:58
Speaker
But I saw the word somebody was trying to put obituary. And they kept typing the word, oh, bitch, you worried to someone saying like, oh, I didn't. None of us were mentioned in her. Oh, bitch, you worried.
00:56:11
Speaker
Right. They're like, what the fuck are you talking about? Like, it's obituary. It's like, are you trying to say obituary? And they're like, is that what it says? And I was like, I don't know if they were trying to be funny or if that's what they thought, because I saw another one that was. There's a phrase for that.
00:56:25
Speaker
What is it? Bone apple tea. Yes, exactly. I'm serious. If you search bone apple tea, you'll get a whole bunch of them. That's like the that's like the Bel Air thing where like that was just like the one they used to describe the whole thing because yeah that's what people think they're saying is bone apple. like but that's ah But that's what I'm saying is like, I think, again, it's a it's a lack of education or reading or something. I know lower classes, just like now, there's a lot of like systemic reasons to keep them that way.
00:56:53
Speaker
But yeah, that was my impression. is like will come stumble. Sounds like someone hearing a word thinking that's what someone is saying. And that's how they spelled it. right Because the other example I saw was um familiar.
00:57:06
Speaker
like And someone's like, oh, you look familiar, but it was four meal her. They're like, oh, you're four meal her. And they're like, I don't know what you're saying because it doesn't make sense in writing. They're like, oh, you look really four meal her. And they're just like, I don't know what you're saying. And it was like, bitch, I'm just trying to say I thought I i think I know you.
00:57:23
Speaker
And she's like, holy fuck, you were trying to say familiar. so But like he was like four meal her. They could also just be spelling it so wrong. Autocorrect doesn't know what to do.
00:57:35
Speaker
Yeah, I definitely don't know. I've definitely had that when I'm typing super fast. Yeah, I genuinely don't know, but I feel like that your bone apple tea and all other stuff, like or like there's those other common idioms that are misunderstood. like ah What's the other one? I'm trying to think of ones that people butcher all the time, like nip it in the butt you know like versus nip it in the butt. The one I always hated was ah I could care less.
00:58:02
Speaker
Right. You mean you you mean couldn't care less. Right. Because could means you still have care to give. Right. You could care less means you do care. Means you care some now. But also want to say about the the high society and low society of old English.
00:58:17
Speaker
I had heard that's why certain animals and their meats are different words. Like cow and beef. I think you learned that I'm a big and I probably did. think you and I talked about that. My brain is like, I know this one.
00:58:31
Speaker
We need to talk about it. Any you learned something from our podcast.
00:58:36
Speaker
Isn't that great? I'm so small. I'm pretty sure if we talked about that here. I'm relatively certain we did. if not, we talked about it before or after recording on here. Just wait until I start repeating stories, man. I'm i'm known.
00:58:51
Speaker
i I'm notorious for being like, hey, have I ever told you this? And all my friends will go, yes. Yes, you have. First of all, it's OK, because will come stumble.
00:59:05
Speaker
exactly I'm glad you humble can stumble me. I humble come stumble you, and I will always humble, come, and stumble for you. For me.
00:59:18
Speaker
yeah ah like ah I shouldn't have taken a drink right before I did. Little droplets back there. Those are just fireworks.
00:59:29
Speaker
Alright, gonna quit now. Oh my god.
