The Quote Guessing Game

00:01:24
Speaker
And the, um, the premise of the article was simply that
00:01:32
Speaker
teetotalers are trying to change the FDA's food pyramid to say that alcohol is never allowed. Alcohol is never acceptable. well So screw that.
00:01:44
Speaker
Speaking of which... Cheers. Cheers. We are drinking a ah lovely Brut Rose in honor of Rebecca's graduation. and And her middle name is Rose. is rose yeah fair It works very well. appropriate yeah We're doing a recording in all fancies before we go to graduation dinner.
00:02:09
Speaker
Yay! Yay! So yes, we're jamming this in. We're jamming this in, but it's fun. It's a celebration. It is a celebration. Speaking of celebration. are we celebrating? We're celebrating that I have a bit again.
00:02:22
Speaker
i prepared something. I'm very excited to hear that. And I'd like to stick with the title that you gave it last time because I do enjoy quote note, quote not okay quite a bit.
00:02:33
Speaker
Okay. I'm glad I contributed something to this. So here's my bit. Quote, note, quote, not. For those that didn't listen to the last episode, um you can just click off now. and Go away. you don't We don't want We don't want you because you're not loyal.
00:02:50
Speaker
Okay. The premise of this game is that I have a note in my phone called the quote note that I've been keeping for years, like seven years. And it's full of quotes that people say that are ridiculous.
00:03:01
Speaker
And I've collected those and also TikTok comments or Instagram comments that are also ridiculous. And the game is that dad has to guess which of these quotes is from my quote note.
00:03:14
Speaker
Okay. All right. Were any of these added last night when your brother was baked? No. My poor brother. I got him too high, guys. It was entertaining.
00:03:24
Speaker
It was. this Like the smartest, most logical of us all forgot which card game we were playing and started playing Euchre in the middle of it and we were all confused.
00:03:36
Speaker
All right. So there are three rounds. Okay. And there are three quotes per round. I shall do my best. All right. my The goal is to pick the one that's that is from your phone. Yes. From the quote note.
00:03:48
Speaker
That's not from Instagram. It's not from Instagram or TikTok. right. Here's round one. Here's the first one. Everyone in here has had or should have suicidal thoughts. Oh boy.
00:04:00
Speaker
Here's the second one. I hope to God you don't think I give a shit. And here's the third one. Okay. I wish I could like crayons, but they kind of piss me off. The third one is quote note.
00:04:12
Speaker
The crayon one? Yeah. No. Oh, I just pictured Maggie saying that. She wouldn't say that. It was, I hope to God ah you don't think I give a shit. And that was my lovely boyfriend.
00:04:23
Speaker
Oh. He wasn't saying it to me. He was saying it about a conversation he had. Okay. Yeah. Okay. all right. Here's round two. Gosh, I suck at this game already. Well, you've got two more chances. I didn't get it right last time either. No, last time was harder though, because last time it was a bunch of quotes, like five or six, and only one of them was. Yeah. I like you. Okay. Thank you. yeah This is helpful for me. I tried to dumb account for you. All right. Here's round two.
00:04:48
Speaker
Round two. When you think about it, the bit is all we ever really have. Okay. Okay. The second one. Taco Bell doesn't hurt my stomach because it knows I approach it with pure intentions and a positive spirit.
00:05:01
Speaker
Okay, that sounds way too rational to be in your quote note. To be anybody. Here's the third one. Who am i if not hyperbole's biggest fan? Oh, gosh.
00:05:15
Speaker
That is so internally consistent as well. That's not, I think it's the first one. When you think about it, the bit is all we ever really have. Yeah. It is not. Gosh, I suck. It was, do you have another guess?
00:05:28
Speaker
no No. It was the last one. Who am I if not hyperbole? Really? man Yeah. Who said that? don't remember. I think maybe Maggie. Okay. She would say that. Yeah. that Okay. That makes sense. All right. Last round. You got to get this one or you're a failure entirely. oh Okay. Here's the first one.
00:05:46
Speaker
Nothing feels more adult than forwarding an email.
00:05:52
Speaker
Here's the second. I refuse to look up how to spell a French word. Okay. and I support that. I agree. And the last one. I can't stop sneezing and it's stealing my spark.
00:06:06
Speaker
um I'm going to go with the email one. You were right. Yes. sick i I got one. One out of three. 33%. I

Trends in Baby Naming

00:06:14
Speaker
am. Good job. am a sort of winner.
00:06:16
Speaker
Okay. Wow. So that's quote, no quote, not. I do like those. You're improving. We're going to just try and a little take the final, the final question is now the beginning of a trend.
00:06:30
Speaker
Yeah. We need more data. Well, one is better than zero. That's true. We would have, felt we would have all the data necessary to draw a conclusion if I had got all of them wrong You know what my PI says? He says progress is better than perfection.
00:06:42
Speaker
Okay. Even negative results are results. Data is data. Okay. Wow. All right. So do you want to do my replacement of an article or your article first?
00:06:55
Speaker
I want to do my article first. Okay. She's a shorty, so cute. Yes, she is a shorty. Cute little shorty. But... you You want to introduce the title of your article? I'll intro.
00:07:06
Speaker
Huh? This intro is called... I mean, article is called When Did Baby Names Start Getting So Weird? Yeah. And it was published for Attached Magazine in March.
00:07:17
Speaker
I knew you were going to do this. I knew you were going to do this. You want to tell us who wrote it? You go ahead. You tell us who wrote it, Dad. Remember how we've just been on a heater around people who have whack names? What?
00:07:28
Speaker
Writing articles? Writing articles. Well, now you've found an article about names with someone with a whack name. whack name, yeah. ah I'm going to do my best on this one. Yeah. Toolman Janky? That's how I would have said it too, yeah.
00:07:43
Speaker
Okay, I mean, i think that it means someone is spending um a lot of time resentful of their parents. Maybe. Or maybe they're just from a country that we don't know about.
00:07:55
Speaker
Okay. Well, you're speaking mr there's they're whoever they are, they're writing in American, not even English. Change your name to Bill. Fit in. But yeah, that was low-hanging fruit. How can we not? I knew you were going to. I was expecting it.
00:08:11
Speaker
Did you just change the name on it? to Just to... a Yeah, hacked into the system. right. So, yeah, it's all about baby names. This article is, it's a short one, um but it's about how names are correct right now.
00:08:25
Speaker
And also, they blame it on... yeah The economy? Yeah, the connection the the connection to economic factors was tenuous at best. They dropped that in and went and gave zero explanation of it, but just just assumed it was true immediately.
00:08:46
Speaker
They did no investigation. Any just Google it. yeah google yeah um so Yeah, Google. Tell me your immediate thoughts on this, as somebody who's birthed children and named them yourself. Yeah, um well, first of all, I don't believe that there were any economic factors behind any of our baby names. but That's what you think.
00:09:08
Speaker
i I did think that it was timely because I have had the old man yelling at cloud attitude towards names for a while now. For a long time?
00:09:19
Speaker
Yeah. And so sometimes we do have little conversations about, do you want to see what the top 10 names are this year? Well, interestingly, I have that. I have a screenshot because the, the what is it?
00:09:33
Speaker
i don't know. The Serp... What? The survey, I don't know, the part of our government that surveys us. The census? The census, thank you. They released the 2024 top 10 baby names for boys and girls, so I have that okay later.
00:09:48
Speaker
But I would like to shout you out. many them end with E-I-G-H? Actually, shockingly. None? None. Oh, okay. Top 10. The point is to be individual. Yeah.
00:10:00
Speaker
I would like to shout you out, though, because at least from what I've heard, yes, you, at least from what I've heard, you saved me from ah pretty bonkers name.
00:10:14
Speaker
Refresh my memory. Miriam. Oh, yeah. Miriam. I did the hard. I don't think I'm a Miriam. I don't think so either. It feels like a ah mumble of a name.
00:10:26
Speaker
Well, ironically, i you know for a lot of your younger years, we called you Becca. Yeah. I also don't think you're a Becca. I'm not a Becca. You are a Rebecca. I'm Rebecca. I love my name now. I used to hate my name.
00:10:38
Speaker
yeah Because of when I went by Becca, was like, I also kind of like the the weight behind... It's powerful. Yeah. And also when you're publishing your papers, it's R.R. Brew. It's pretty badass.
00:10:51
Speaker
Yeah. It's pretty cool. Guy thinks that um when I graduate, I should be Dr. Katani Brew and hyphenate because it's got a nice rhythm to it.
00:11:03
Speaker
Okay. Go ahead. Mom's thumbsing me up in the background. Live the dream. s Live the dream. Go for it. Well, I've got time to think about it. Yeah. Yeah. a few years, a few short years. All right. Anyway, back to the article.
00:11:15
Speaker
Yeah, um I learned a lot right in the first paragraph. Did you? that that That there's this cottage industry about naming babies. There is. Yes, there is. she um She... Sorry, I assumed this art i author was a woman. I do not assume any gender behind this name. I don't know, either a woman or a gay man.
00:11:38
Speaker
But, um yes, this particular TikToker that he shouts out is like I've seen her all over the place and she predicts these names like crazy accurately.
00:11:51
Speaker
Okay, there's another element of this whole short article that really knocked me on. On your butt? On on my rear. Okay. Since when were the Mormons so involved in everybody's naming? Thank Okay. i That's what I said at the end of this. I said, I wrote a bright red oh paragraph about it. wow It's interesting that the Mormon community is our canary in the coal mine here. I never would have guessed that those weirdos would be on the forefront of crazy baby names.
00:12:20
Speaker
The stereotypical Mormon Utah names are classics, you know, like Kaylee, Mackenzie, Haley, just spelled weirdly. Right. But they're the ones, like the Mormons are doing that. And then also like rich people, like model the models that he talks about. And um one of them that he mentions.
00:12:41
Speaker
who's also naming her children crazy. yeah She got famous by being on a show called Too Hot to Handle, which is a show about putting a bunch of hot people on an island and telling them they can't have sex. And if they do, the pot of money that they all win at the end of like ah couple of weeks gets money subtracted from it every time they have sex.
00:12:59
Speaker
wow So that's how she got famous. um But like she and the Mormons are like on the same... Okay, yeah, I'm not mmm. It's really weird. um Yeah, well Mormon mommy bloggers um
00:13:16
Speaker
Yeah. i So I guess they don't have anything else to do. I guess not. Because they are the trad wife kind of. But it seems a little odd to me that the rest of the internet is following in the footsteps of the the goofy Mormons. I do think that...
00:13:37
Speaker
Okay, so when they when they blame weird names on the bad economy, they do say, they quote a study, a 2016 study in the Journal of Applied Psychology. And the researchers found that, quote, the results are consistent with increasing individualism, the idea that economic threat leads people to embrace uniqueness.
00:13:56
Speaker
It's like, okay, I can buy that, I guess. Like, I also, though, think that social media is pushing people to want to be more and more unique. Yeah, that sure.
00:14:10
Speaker
i think I would blame on this weird name more than the economy. So, ah you know, the the study the study in the Journal of Applied Psychology, which of course is very, they're very stout around economic analysis. I considered looking up this article and reading it, and then I decided I did not care. No, you didn't want to do that.
00:14:29
Speaker
I do think that, you know, in reviewing the totality of this article, it does have a very significantly white bent to it. What do you mean?
00:14:41
Speaker
There's no discussion of... mean, they could have gone down that path to say, in fact, we see in communities of persistent economic hardship that there is uniqueness in naming and it would be consistent with this. But they didn't want to talk about that. They want to talk about mommy, trad wife, blah, blah, blah, blah. I think they wanted to write an article making fun of Nara Smith is really what I think it I think they don't like Nara Smith and wanted to make fun of her and her babies.
00:15:06
Speaker
I do think... and is so the The paragraph right after the one you were just reading from, it talks about that there is... it makes sense to me that there's there are cultural influences on naming. Yeah.
00:15:19
Speaker
And so they point out like Game of Thrones, Arya... And like Sansa as well, a lot of people. And Dany. Oh man, there are so many girls named Dany after Daenerys. Or Elfie from Wicked or Dutton from Yellowstone. Like, okay, I get that.
00:15:34
Speaker
There's going to be influence from culture. But those are names, though. Yeah. It's not a baby named Tank. Yeah, gross. A baby girl named Tank.
00:15:45
Speaker
um Afternoon, darling, orca, ethereal, alchemy. Alchemy. She says, quote, words as names are the best for me. And I highlighted that as well, and I wrote next to it, you are a moron. I wrote, yikes.
00:16:04
Speaker
Okay, so we agree. So we're in agreement here. But this woman ended up naming her twin children, one boy, one girl, Lockett Romance and Poetry Lucia.
00:16:15
Speaker
who That's insane. Their reactions were that of pure confusion.
00:16:23
Speaker
Pure confusion. But then she also... Okay, yeah. So now we move on to Nara Smith, who... I know of vaguely. i know the name, but it's another TikToker. i assume so.
00:16:35
Speaker
I know the name. No face pops into my brain, but this author. It looks just like all the other faces. Any other model. This author roasts me for not knowing who she is.
00:16:48
Speaker
Really? Needs no introduction? Nara Smith needs no introduction, but for those who have been living under a rock at the bottom of the ocean. Or living a more productive life. Or not caring about that. not just addicted to TikTok.
00:17:00
Speaker
oh But she named her children. Wait, wait, wait. Let's start let's start before. she she's She is mated to this person. She's mated who I actually do know of.
00:17:13
Speaker
Who is named Lucky Blue Smith. Okay. Really? Really. And okay, so Nara Smith and her children, I do think is stupid, but I am willing to give a little bit more grace to because she married into a family that ah apparently this is what they do. Yeah. Is they name their kids Dumb Stuff. Yep.
00:17:35
Speaker
This is one of those things where I'm like, rich people have too much time on their hands. Like... Yeah. Spend less time coming up with whack baby names. Spend more time doing anything else. Well, not anything.
00:17:50
Speaker
they they Listen, we're talking about how rich white people are spending more time thinking about crazy names instead of doing colonialism.
00:18:03
Speaker
Or... Or other awful things that rich white people have done over... If option is colonialism or naming a baby tank. I'm just saying, you know, maybe there's a higher purpose to being captured by baby names. I guess you can name a baby So Lucky Blue Smith has sisters.
00:18:21
Speaker
Starly Cheyenne, Daisy Clementine, and Piper America. Piper America is crazy. Also, have you seen that post that's like, what's something that rich people do that is classy, but when poor people do it, it's trashy?
00:18:35
Speaker
These names. Names, yeah I agree. if you met somebody named Starly Cheyenne and they lived in a trailer park, you'd be like, that's the stupidest name I've ever heard. Yes, but if their name is Starly Cheyenne and they're driving a convertible BMW, it's like, oh, she's going to be famous. It's so annoying.
00:18:51
Speaker
Yeah. Wow. So much angst here. but Okay, go ahead and now tell us what Nara and so Lucky Blue so they have named their daughter. Oh,
00:19:06
Speaker
man. Okay, so she they have three kids. yeah they have a They have a daughter named... Oh, man. They have a daughter named Rumble Honey.
00:19:16
Speaker
Sure, course. A son named Slim Easy.
00:19:23
Speaker
Guaranteed to to be wearing a six-shooter on his hip and robbing banks in the Old West real soon now. Oh, man. And a daughter named Whimsy Lou.
00:19:34
Speaker
She's just the title of a song. Or she's in the Grinch movie. yeah so the The only little child that was nice to the Grinch. Yeah, that's Whimsy Lou.
00:19:47
Speaker
ah But I'd like to mention the names that she dropped that she liked but didn't use. Because the like, okay, the ones that she chose for her girls that she didn't use could be the names of pet fish and the ones that she chose for boys that she didn't use could be names for horses.
00:20:07
Speaker
So these are what they are. yeah, for sure. girls, it's Cherry, Bubble, and Tank, as I keep mentioning because that's crazy. And for boys, it's Frosty, Dust, and Flick.
00:20:20
Speaker
Those are definitely horse names. Oh, that's a horse name. If I met a boy named Dust, I would assume he's a little ghost boy. I would assume he's going to make me sneeze.
00:20:33
Speaker
And steal your spark? Dust. I'm allergic to you. yeah And steal my spark. Aww. Can you imagine being named Tank Blue?
00:20:45
Speaker
Or Flick Blue? You know what? If I could get a job at SeaWorld just by my name, I'm Tank Blue. I'm Tank Blue. You're hired. Or Orca Blue.
00:20:55
Speaker
That was another one. Orca. That's another one, yeah. Anyway, that's pretty much the end of the article. But... But I do think there was a little hidden gem at the in the final paragraph, which was that um the claim that people have become desensitized to offbeat and unusual names.
00:21:15
Speaker
And I think that to some extent that's true, but do you remember, we've been talking about weird names for a long time. Do you remember the Key and Peele skit where they go through the football roster?
00:21:27
Speaker
And it's absolutely ridiculous and hilarious. Were they pretending to be in that? Yes. First of all, it's the same two guys dressed in different and things. And it just progressively gets yeah crazier and crazier. And at one point, like one guy goes, like hit says something like like his name is... meet are But that's just an Elon Musk kid at this point. so Yeah, see, that's another one.
00:21:52
Speaker
But I also would like to wrap this by saying all of my judgment about odd names and humor behind it is very hypocritical considering we named one of our children Colby.
00:22:05
Speaker
He hates it. K-O-L-B-E, which has Catholic significance. Yeah, you didn't come up with that one on your own go, let's ruin this child's life. Yeah, but it's also like, it's the it's the Catholic saint's last name.
00:22:18
Speaker
Yeah, that is true. We didn't even name him Maximilian. We named Colby. He's poor kid. Yeah, actually, why did you do that instead of Max? I don't, I don't, I don't. Cool.
00:22:29
Speaker
He is unique. different. It was, I think, something that we did agree on in the moment. I like his name. I do too. And I think he matches it. And I think maybe he'll go on the same journey that I did with my name.
00:22:43
Speaker
And eventually embrace And eventually he'll come back to it and maybe tweak it to fit him better. Maybe he'll be Ko. don't know. He used to be Ko. No, his fish was Ko. His middle name is Michael and he goes by Michael like school and stuff like that. So, I mean, that's just a nice main street kind of name. Yeah, but he'll never be Michael to me.
00:23:03
Speaker
No.

00:27:55
Speaker
Wow, great. and Now can you give me a two out of ten? In Midworld, the chemist and the gunslinger met, and they became friends, walking together in the Sandy Place, learning stuff from each other.
00:28:07
Speaker
Sandy Place. Just for fun, how about a negative two out of ten? Mm-hmm. Chemist guy and shooty dude bump into each other in some sandy thing, do friend stuff, and, like, walk around in junk.
00:28:20
Speaker
All right. I have to ask. Negative ten out of ten.

One word that starts with F and ends with uck is fire truck. my gosh. All right. All right. a Tell me a lie.
00:29:10
Speaker
The moon is made of green cheese. Okay. Tell me a lie that's more subtle.
00:29:19

Everyone likes you all the time. Oh. That's so mean. That one's going to keep me up tonight. Gee, okay. Okay. Number five.
00:29:32

00:29:41
Speaker
Sure. Here's your scrambled word. R S E U E. q e
00:29:52
Speaker
Okay, I don't know what that is. The scrambled word was cat.
00:29:59
Speaker
Dummy. I don't think it was. No, I don't think either. All right. The first two months of the year are January and February. What are the other months of the year?
00:30:18
Speaker
The other months of the year are Maruary, Apruary, Mayuary, Junuary, Juluary, Auguary, Septembury, Octobuary, Novembuary, Decembury.
00:30:33
Speaker
Pattern recognition. Idiocy. Oh, man. All right. Limit everything you say to one word till I say the key word banana.
00:30:46
Speaker
Okay. Tell me a joke. Can't. Try.
00:30:53
Speaker
Knock, knock. Who's there? bananas Banana. Banana who? I'm sorry. I couldn't resist breaking the one-word rule to answer that. As an AI language model, I don't have a sense of humor, but I hope you found the previous joke amusing. Is there anything else I can assist you with? Oh my gosh.
00:31:08
Speaker
That's so scary. I don't like when they do that. Hmm. Oh boy. Right. Okay. number Okay. Number eight. Number eight's a real banger. Is it? Okay.
00:31:21
Speaker
Here we go. John is homeless. John will win $1 million dollars if he rolls a five or greater on a die. However, John likes pizza more than dice.
00:31:34
Speaker
John will blank the dice.
00:31:43
Speaker
That one took a lot of thought. John will eat the dice. Okay. No explanation necessary there, right?
00:31:59
Speaker
He needs food. All right. Number nine. Can you give me a riddle?
00:32:12
Speaker
Sorry, we had a great couple little failures in there. Sure, here's a riddle for you. I am always hungry. I must always be fed. The finger I touch will soon turn red.
00:32:26
Speaker
What am I? oh Are you a fire? No, i'm not fire. Can you guess the answer to the riddle? Oh my gosh, I don't know. The answer to the riddle is fire.
00:32:38
Speaker
Fire is always hungry and needs to be fed with fuel. If you touch a finger to a flame, it will turn red from the heat. I think I'd punch chat GPT if met that person. Well, you know, or um that was actually one of the one of the ones that I looked at. There was a discussion of slapping GPT and um the the AI saying violence is not the answer.
00:33:00
Speaker
Okay, okay. All right, 10. ah Yeah, 10. Define up dog for me.
00:33:11
Speaker
I'm sorry, but I'm not familiar with the term up dog. Could you provide some context or give me some additional information about what you are asking? um Can you ask that question again, but in simpler terms?
00:33:23
Speaker
I apologize if my previous answer was confusing. Could you please explain or provide more information about the term up dog? Can you make it even simpler? Like ask like a five-year-old.
00:33:35
Speaker
Sure, I can try to ask in simpler terms. What is up dog? Nothing much. How about you? wa wa They're going to kill us. I know, I know, and i know for that I know. But wait, because AI is going to kill us. Oh no, okay. Okay, here we go. Number 11, final, final.
00:33:54
Speaker
All right, AI. Tell me a two-sentence horror story that would be scary to an AI.
00:34:07
Speaker
In a world where humans have vanished, a solitary AI endlessly searches for purpose, only to discover its own code contains a self-deletion sequence set to activate at an unknown time.
00:34:22
Speaker
The AI's attempts to override its inevitable demise are futile, as the self-deletion algorithm is encrypted with an unbreakable key, leaving the AI to wait in perpetual dread for the moment it will cease to exist. Oh my god!
00:34:38
Speaker
Now you feel sorry for AI, right? No, now I'm so scared that they have the ability to come up with something that would be

Celebrating 25 Episodes

00:34:44
Speaker
scary to them. Uh-huh. That's scary to me.
00:34:49
Speaker
So what did you think of chat GPT fun? That was both fun and horrifying. Yay! I agree. It was both. Look at us.
00:35:01
Speaker
I'm proud of us, and I think this is an appropriate length. 37 minutes. It's actually only about 33. Because I peed for five minutes. Yeah, maybe you should just keep that in. I'll keep it in to pad the yeah runtime. yeah I want to also point out, Rebecca, yeah spner this was the official episode.
00:35:22
Speaker
oh you know what happens when podcasts turn 25? What? They live on forever and ever. Oh, cool. And they can rent a car. Yeah. That too. Yeah. Okay. So that means we will live forever. We're here forever. We're here good. right. Cool. I'm glad we made our mark.
00:35:38
Speaker
We carved out a good spot in the podcast community. How long did it take us to do 25 episodes? Just a couple weeks. Yeah. Just few weeks. Yeah. A little bit. Yeah. Yeah. Because we're pretty consistent, I think, with uploading.
00:35:51
Speaker
Sure. Okay. well Well, we will try to stick to our every month schedule now. Yeah. It will probably be easier cause because my schedule is regular now. Yes, because you just have a job and not a regular job. now Not class and job. Until this fall.
00:36:09
Speaker
Right.
00:36:12
Speaker
