  Matt: Well, so okay, so last uh last hot chocolate season, I discovered that they do sell those like like a shaker of dehydrated marshmallow bits.
• 1:16
  Eric: Like the Yeah, the kind you get in the packets.
• 1:18
  Matt: Like the kind you get in the packet, but you can get like a whole shaker of it.
• 1:21
  Matt: Oh, that's dangerous.
• 1:23
  Matt: I know.
• 1:23
  Matt: So I what we we tried, look, we looked for it in the store, we didn't find it, whatever.
• 1:29
  Matt: So I said, uh, in this day of age, I can we can order anything.
• 1:34
  Matt: So I went on our good fruit, Font LeRoy went on Amazon and I tried to find this shaker, and they had it in it, but it was like a tons of money, because you know, when it's the only, you know, they really uh hiked up the price.
• 1:47
  Matt: Oh, yeah.
• 1:47
  Matt: They hiked up the price of it.
• 1:49
  Matt: So I wasn't gonna buy that, so I looked for alternatives, and I found a shop on Amazon.
• 1:54
  Matt: Uh, and this this shop is called Sarah's Candy Factory.
• 1:58
  Matt: Okay.
• 1:59
  Matt: Okay.
• 1:59
  Matt: Uh, they've got all kinds of good stuff there.
• 2:02
  Matt: It's it's lovely, the lovely product.
• 2:05
  Matt: And one of them, they they have the dehydrated marshmallow bites.
• 2:08
  Matt: Hell yes.
• 2:09
  Matt: Hooray! But I discovered something else, Eric.
• 2:12
  Matt: They also have a knockoff version of the Lucky Charms marshmallows.
• 2:20
  Matt: Oh, fuck me up.
• 2:22
  Matt: So I said, Oh my god, this is just like a this is my childhood dream.
• 2:27
  Matt: Just a pack of the marshmallows from the Lucky Charms.
• 2:31
  Matt: So I said, let's see.
• 2:32
  Matt: I bet those are tasty in a hotel.
• 2:35
  Matt: So we bought them.
• 2:36
  Matt: And Eric, the thing about me is sometimes, you know, you know this.
• 2:42
  Matt: You know this about me.
• 2:42
  Matt: I don't half-ass anything.
• 2:44
  Eric: No, no, you're a whole ass man.
• 2:46
  Matt: I'm a whole ass man, okay?
• 2:49
  Matt: So I bought a one-pound bag of these knockoff Lucky Charms dehydrated large fellows.
• 2:57
  Matt: And I said, Well, this'll, you know, it'll last us all of hot chocolate season, all cozy time.
• 3:02
  Matt: Here's the problem, Eric.
• 3:04
  Matt: I opened it up for a test, right?
• 3:06
  Matt: Let's see, do they taste like the Lucky Charms?
• 3:08
  Matt: So I rip open the pack, I sprinkle those into my mouth.
• 3:11
  Matt: Nom nom nom nom nom.
• 3:12
  Matt: They taste just like them.
• 3:13
  Matt: They taste just like I'm eating Lucky Charms.
• 3:16
  Eric: I'm on the edge of my seat because I know something is coming and I don't know what it is, and I hate it.
• 3:21
  Matt: So most of those marshmallows did not make it into the hot chocolate, Eric.
• 3:26
  Matt: Most of those marshmallows made it into my fist and then into my face, and now I'm on the second one-pound bag of Lucky Charms marshmallows.
• 3:36
  SPEAKER_05: Eric, I have a problem.
• 3:38
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
• 3:38
  unknown: Yeah.
• 3:40
  SPEAKER_05: I'm a marshmallow man, Eric.
• 3:42
  SPEAKER_05: I am the marshmall the stay-puffed marshmallow man.
• 3:49
  Matt: That's it.
• 3:50
  Matt: That's the whole tale.
• 3:52
  Matt: I'm just fistful in marshmallows into my gullet.
• 3:55
  Eric: Fucking fistfulin' marshmallows into my gullet is such a good sentence because it sounds like so many parts of that would get me kicked out of a church.
• 4:03
  Eric: It is.
• 4:05
  Matt: I'm just saying, Eric, man, it's been a rough hot chocolate season.
• 4:11
  SPEAKER_05: That's all I want to say.
• 4:26
  Matt: A podcast answering life's least pressing questions.
• 4:30
  Matt: My name is Matt Shea.
• 4:32
  Matt: My name is Eric Poach.
• 4:34
  Matt: Oh, Eric Poach, how are you doing on this fine 34th podcast episode?
• 4:41
  Matt: Oh, God.
• 4:42
  Eric: You know, I'm feeling I'm feeling nerdy, dirty, fresh, and 34.
• 4:49
  Eric: You're not 34.
• 4:51
  Eric: But like, I don't like 34.
• 4:54
  Matt: Oh, yes.
• 4:55
  Matt: Yeah, much like um uh some sort of cryptid, each one of these takes a whole year of our lives away from us.
• 5:04
  Eric: I feel like I feel I I always wondered, like, you know, like you ever meet that kid in high school who's like, oh yeah, I'm an old soul.
• 5:12
  Eric: Dude, like you, I was that kid.
• 5:14
  Eric: I oh I know.
• 5:15
  Matt: Um but I didn't say it.
• 5:17
  Matt: People said it to me.
• 5:19
  Matt: Yeah, but like my whole life.
• 5:20
  Matt: Oh, Matt's such an old soul.
• 5:23
  Matt: Oh, you can tell him this.
• 5:24
  Matt: He's an old soul.
• 5:26
  Matt: No, no, no.
• 5:27
  Matt: I'm not interested in him that way, but he's an old soul that I can tell my secrets to.
• 5:32
  Eric: I've always been an old soul, Eric.
• 5:34
  Eric: And like in high school just sounded so badass.
• 5:36
  Eric: Like you were like this ancient, like you're like, oh yes, like weighty with wisdom and and venerable venerable.
• 5:43
  Eric: Yeah, no, not me, not this old soul.
• 5:44
  Eric: But like, what if someone's like, what if someone came up to you, like, yo, you you know, you look like you have a 34-year-old soul in high school.
• 5:51
  Matt: Yeah, that's creepy as shit.
• 5:53
  Eric: Yeah.
• 5:54
  Eric: That's that's too specific.
• 5:56
  Eric: It's too specific, but also it's like, damn, ow, like, because I had back and knee pain in high school, but not that much.
• 6:03
  Matt: Yeah, so that's the other thing.
• 6:04
  Matt: Not only have I always been an old soul, but I and I don't know that this has come up with the listeners.
• 6:09
  Matt: Wow, we're getting into a tangent right away, but who gives a shit?
• 6:13
  Matt: It's our podcast, is it not?
• 6:15
  Matt: There it is.
• 6:16
  Matt: I have a long history of old people ailments and uh doing things ahead of schedule.
• 6:24
  Matt: For example, I had a hernia before I could drive.
• 6:28
  Matt: I was 12, I think.
• 6:30
  unknown: Oh my god.
• 6:31
  Matt: I had a hernia when I was.
• 6:33
  SPEAKER_03: I knew you had had hernias before.
• 6:34
  SPEAKER_03: I didn't know it was at 12.
• 6:37
  Matt: Hernia, not hernia's.
• 6:39
  Matt: Yeah, no, it's it's ridiculous.
• 6:42
  Eric: Fucking hell is out there fucking slamming down pogs and trading Pokemon cards, and Matt, Matt's trying to like trade Pokemans at the country kitchen buffet.
• 6:53
  Matt: Yeah, no, I've had a hernia, I've had shingles, I've had shit.
• 6:58
  SPEAKER_07: Did you have rickets?
• 7:00
  Matt: I've already had a colonoscopy.
• 7:02
  SPEAKER_07: Oh my god, Matt.
• 7:04
  Matt: I've received uh pamphlets from AARP.
• 7:07
  Matt: That's not a joke.
• 7:08
  Matt: AARP has targeted me because they think I'm 65.
• 7:12
  Eric: Do they just like rifle through people's medical history and they're just like, ah, okay, yeah, this scans, they're probably old enough.
• 7:18
  Matt: No, I think they're like, oh, he's had a colonoscopy.
• 7:21
  Matt: Fucking send him some coupons.
• 7:23
  Matt: Jeez.
• 7:24
  Matt: Yeah, no, I'm falling apart, man.
• 7:26
  Matt: And then get this.
• 7:27
  Matt: This is a true story.
• 7:28
  Matt: Once upon a time, I went to a pharmacy.
• 7:31
  Matt: Uh, this was many years ago, to get a flu shot.
• 7:34
  Matt: And I was like, oh, I um, I, I, I, I've already do I need I I asked the question, because you know, hold on.
• 7:42
  Matt: That was a whole lot of word vomit.
• 7:44
  unknown: Okay.
• 7:44
  Matt: So I asked the farm, I go to this pharmacy to get a flu shot, right?
• 7:52
  Matt: There I am, middle of the fucking pharmacy.
• 7:55
  Matt: I'm gonna get this shit together.
• 7:57
  Matt: Picture it.
• 7:57
  Matt: I'm at a pharmacy.
• 7:58
  Matt: Pharmacy.
• 7:59
  Eric: Bam!
• 7:59
  Matt: I can smell it.
• 8:02
  Matt: All right.
• 8:02
  Matt: So so you know, drugs.
• 8:04
  Matt: So, okay.
• 8:06
  Eric: We're doing drugs at a pharmacy, right?
• 8:08
  Eric: I d so there we were, back in the CBS.
• 8:12
  Eric: Fucking free basin Werther's originals.
• 8:17
  Matt: What's the CBS actually?
• 8:19
  Matt: So that this was the incident that made me swear them off forever.
• 8:23
  Matt: So I'm there.
• 8:23
  Matt: Yeah, I'm filling out the form.
• 8:24
  Matt: You know how the form's like, you know, do you want these other vaccines?
• 8:28
  Matt: You know, at the you know, okay they're all listed there.
• 8:32
  Eric: Okay, so I'm just imaging like the fucking pharmacist approach.
• 8:36
  SPEAKER_07: Hey, kid, you want to he opens up the sleeve with syringes.
• 8:41
  SPEAKER_07: You want to avoid getting polio?
• 8:44
  SPEAKER_07: Hey, I got I got hepatitis, I got uh I got tetanus, A and B and C and D.
• 8:53
  Eric: So you so you're being offered clandestine vaccines.
• 8:56
  Matt: So I say to this this person behind the desk, uh, do I need, should I get a shingles vaccine if I've had shingles?
• 9:07
  Matt: And this snot-nosed piece of shit said to me, Oh, you haven't had shingles.
• 9:14
  Matt: And I did like I all humor went out of my face.
• 9:20
  Matt: Any rosiness to my cheeks, gone.
• 9:23
  Matt: And I looked this man in the eye and I said, Yes, I have.
• 9:28
  Matt: And he said, Trust me, you have not had shingles.
• 9:32
  Matt: And I I literally put my fists down on the desk.
• 9:37
  Matt: Tell me you demanded to speak to a manager.
• 9:39
  Matt: I I didn't demand to speak into a manager, I demanded to speak to his soul because I leaned, I did the matche lean over his desk.
• 9:49
  Matt: I looked him dead in the eye, and I went, no, trust me, you know if you have had fucking shingles.
• 9:59
  Matt: You do not forget.
• 10:01
  Matt: It is the worst thing that has ever happened to me.
• 10:04
  SPEAKER_03: You said this for any brother human being.
• 10:06
  Matt: No, I stopped right at the I did literally say, no, trust me, you know if you have had shingles.
• 10:13
  Eric: That's it sounds like this is all the lead up for a shingles ad.
• 10:17
  Eric: Like a shingle that, like, like you stop and you look directly in the camera.
• 10:21
  Eric: You know if you've had shingles.
• 10:23
  Matt: And then he well, you do.
• 10:24
  Matt: And so then he became like petrified a little bit and he was like, uh well, if you've already had it, you actually are low risk to get it again.
• 10:31
  Matt: Like so, like he like he backed off.
• 10:34
  Matt: And the fuck?
• 10:35
  Eric: Shingles don't discriminate.
• 10:37
  Matt: Well, actually, so actually, PSA, uh, it is a common misconception that once you get shingles, you can't get shingles again.
• 10:44
  Matt: You can get double shingles.
• 10:46
  Matt: You can get shingles again.
• 10:48
  Matt: And if I ever get shingles again in this lifetime, I don't know what I'll do with my life.
• 10:53
  Matt: I have permanent scoring.
• 10:54
  Matt: If you get it twice, they call it slates.
• 10:57
  Matt: So on that note, Eric, what do you think?
• 10:58
  Matt: Should we answer some questions?
• 11:00
  Matt: Yeah, let's do some questions.
• 11:03
  Matt: Okay, all right.
• 11:04
  Matt: So, our first question of the day comes from uh the email from Mr.
• 11:10
  Matt: Aaron that we started to read.
• 11:13
  Matt: Veritable gold mine.
• 11:14
  Matt: Uh just it's good the gift that's just gonna keep on giving.
• 11:18
  Matt: We read uh from it last uh last episode he gave us the turn down for what question, and now he wants to know if you were a cartoon character, what typical cartoon weapon would worry you the most?
• 11:32
  Matt: Examples oversized hammer, dynamite, giant anvil, frying pan, etc.
• 11:40
  Matt: Alright.
• 11:41
  Eric: So there are categories of uh cartoon weaponry in terms of like what they can do.
• 11:51
  Eric: So you've got your you've got your enhancers.
• 11:53
  Eric: I'm talking about the inflatable muscle suit that gives you strength.
• 11:57
  Eric: You've got your uh you've got your manipulators, your giant magnets, right?
• 12:03
  Eric: Your your extendo arms and such.
• 12:06
  Matt: Your your uh your fake walls that turn into a tunnel in real life temporarily somehow.
• 12:13
  Eric: So that's what I was getting.
• 12:14
  Eric: I actually qu qualify it under the next category, which is what I like to call reality warpers.
• 12:22
  Eric: These create places and holes in reality where what they did not exist.
• 12:29
  Eric: We're talking about like the Acme instant hold.
• 12:32
  Eric: You fall in and then they fucking close the hole up, and where are you?
• 12:36
  Eric: And then where are you?
• 12:37
  Eric: In a fucking abyss, my guy.
• 12:40
  Eric: You're in the Acme factory, or like I like this fucked with me so much.
• 12:44
  Eric: I I thought about this when I was watching Looney Tunes, like when when Roadrunner would do the classic painting a tunnel on the thing, or like, or sorry, um Wily Coyote would paint the tunnel.
• 12:54
  Eric: He's like, Oh, I'm gonna make this Roadrunner smash into it, and the Roadrunner would run off into the fucking and you couldn't.
• 13:00
  Matt: Then he'd try it and he'd smack smack into the wall, yeah, breaking his nose.
• 13:05
  Eric: And you could see like trees and hills and mountains and shit back there.
• 13:10
  Eric: Like, they're you just created sentient life for a gag.
• 13:15
  Eric: And then he would and like sometimes, not always, he would just like just get erased.
• 13:19
  Matt: Yeah, yeah.
• 13:20
  Matt: He he he would erase it, but the roadrunner somehow is back in our reality.
• 13:25
  Matt: Yes, lots of unanswered questions there.
• 13:28
  Matt: But the one we need to deal with is what is the most worrisome of weapons?
• 13:33
  Matt: So your category worries me.
• 13:35
  Matt: I can tell.
• 13:36
  Matt: I can tell.
• 13:37
  Matt: And I want you to know that those tunnels can't hurt you here.
• 13:41
  Eric: Honestly, it's not me I'm worried about, it's the untold billions that were called into existence when Wiley Coyote just took his Acme brand paintbrush to a fucking wall.
• 13:53
  Matt: And and are now cut off, and we don't know what happened to them.
• 13:56
  Eric: Mirror dimension?
• 13:57
  Eric: Who knows?
• 13:58
  Eric: Parallel dimension?
• 13:59
  Eric: Who knows?
• 14:00
  Matt: They're living alone in a darkened world, perhaps.
• 14:03
  Eric: Fucking, I don't even want to think about like what's inside the instant holes.
• 14:07
  Eric: You know what I mean?
• 14:08
  Eric: Like where it's just black and you just see them fall down, and then they're like, well, that's the end of that chapter.
• 14:12
  Eric: Like, where did you go?
• 14:14
  Matt: Where did you go?
• 14:15
  Matt: Ugh.
• 14:15
  Matt: Okay, so what are your categories again?
• 14:18
  Matt: You've got the reality benders.
• 14:20
  Eric: We got reality benders, we've got uh manipulators, so this is your giant magnets, you know, things that are good at moving other things around.
• 14:29
  Eric: You know, you got your like your little extendo hand things or like you um so gadgets.
• 14:35
  Eric: Are you talking more like gadgets?
• 14:36
  Eric: Thank you.
• 14:37
  Eric: Gadgets is a much better term for that.
• 14:40
  Eric: I just cleaned it up for you.
• 14:41
  Eric: Just a little quick, just tidying it up.
• 14:43
  Eric: You got your gadgets.
• 14:43
  Eric: Uh and then you've got your enhancers.
• 14:46
  Eric: So like you've got like your Popeye spinach.
• 14:48
  Eric: You got your muscle suits what give you big muscles that actually somehow work.
• 14:52
  Eric: You got like you, or you got like uh Acme Brand speed shoes or something.
• 14:57
  Eric: That's fucked over Wiley Coyote a bunch of times.
• 15:00
  Eric: Then there's what I would just call the pure violence category.
• 15:03
  Eric: This is where I'd put your anvils, your sticks of dynamite, your your your giant comically sized guns that like pop out with like 10 other guns.
• 15:12
  Eric: So what of those would worry me the most?
• 15:15
  Eric: I mean, I hate to Or not even of those categories.
• 15:18
  Eric: I'm just kind of trying to like establish a baseline that we can work from.
• 15:21
  Eric: Is there anything I'm leaving out?
• 15:22
  Eric: Is there anything you recall that like that that wouldn't fall into one of these?
• 15:26
  Matt: You know, I really don't think so because I mean when you think about these weapons, you do tend to think about the anvil.
• 15:32
  Matt: Like the anvil's like the I feel like the the first thing that comes in mind when you think about a cartoon weapon.
• 15:38
  Matt: You know, an anvil.
• 15:40
  Matt: It's classic.
• 15:41
  Matt: A rake to the face situation.
• 15:44
  Eric: Punching glove on a little foldy like on that thing, you squeeze and it goes and extends.
• 15:50
  Matt: A gun with a big long muzzle that doesn't actually do anything except put out a flag that says bang.
• 15:57
  Matt: Yeah.
• 15:58
  Matt: I'm least concerned about the gun that just says bang.
• 16:02
  Eric: Yeah, honestly, and like you see people get blown up by dynamite all the time in in cartoons.
• 16:07
  Eric: It's honestly like the worst thing that happens to you is you get a little sooty.
• 16:12
  Eric: Yeah, you get like a sizzled.
• 16:14
  Eric: Yes.
• 16:15
  Eric: And depending on when the cartoon was made, you might be like a racist allegory or something.
• 16:20
  Eric: You get but you get singed and then you blink a bunch.
• 16:24
  Eric: Yes.
• 16:24
  Eric: You get very yes, and like there's a little silhouette on the wall after you fall off.
• 16:29
  Eric: The blink being the realizing your own privilege in that moment, I think, is what they're the classic you blink twice and then you like kind of crumble to dust and someone comes and sweeps you away.
• 16:40
  Eric: So honestly, like the true the violence category, surprisingly, doesn't worry me that much.
• 16:44
  Matt: I hate to say it, but it seems like Acme's dynamite is kind of dog shit, yeah?
• 16:49
  Eric: Well, well, here's the thing.
• 16:50
  Eric: Usually it blows up everything around the person, but doesn't like target.
• 16:55
  Eric: So but wouldn't that make it really good dynamite if I'm using it for its inten like mining operations and shit?
• 17:04
  Eric: Like if I'm actually trying to use dynamite to like like I feel like that's bitchin' dynamite, but if I'm trying to murder a bird with it, that's probably bad.
• 17:14
  Matt: I you know, I am a little stuck on the reality benders because look, an anvil, I feel like I can I can handle that.
• 17:22
  Matt: I I can get around an anvil.
• 17:24
  Matt: I'm just saying, like typically, I don't want to call Mr.
• 17:28
  Matt: Coyote an idiot.
• 17:30
  Matt: Okay, I don't want to do He's an engineer.
• 17:32
  Matt: He draws blueprints.
• 17:34
  Matt: I don't want to do that.
• 17:35
  Matt: But what I what I have to point out is most of these anvils, before they hit you in the head, you hear a little bit of a and I feel like I can recognize that sound and go, oh, I better move.
• 17:51
  Matt: A piano is falling.
• 17:53
  Eric: Yes.
• 17:53
  Eric: Oh, oh, here comes and and like you just need to look down at the ground and see the slowly growing shadow.
• 17:59
  Matt: Growing shadow that is some for some reason a perfect circle growing around you, yes.
• 18:05
  Matt: Yes, but the reality benders, you do I mean, you really have bended my own reality here by saying that like he is creating life somehow.
• 18:12
  Matt: And then the roadrunner is able to, or, or, ooh, ooh, maybe he's not.
• 18:18
  Matt: Maybe the reason the roadrunner is able to go through the tunnels because the roadrunner is in fact not of this world.
• 18:25
  Eric: I would actually agree with the theory.
• 18:27
  Eric: I would subscribe to the theory that the roadrunner is at least a demigod, a demigod of some kind, a mythical being.
• 18:36
  Eric: Yeah, uh, and honestly, the fuck, my mind is getting blown right now because I'm now drawing a lot of parallels between the Roadrunner and the Flash.
• 18:45
  Eric: Because I don't know if you've ever read a list of the fla of like what the flash is capable of.
• 18:51
  Matt: Goes real fast.
• 18:52
  Eric: Uh, and uses that ability to fuck with some wild shit.
• 18:57
  Matt: Can't he like turn the earth's like uh speed up time by going real?
• 19:03
  Matt: Well, that was Superman, but no no do not fucking mention that man's name.
• 19:09
  Eric: Thank you.
• 19:10
  Eric: I just okay.
• 19:11
  Eric: That was a certain Kryptonian.
• 19:14
  Eric: Flash can time travel.
• 19:15
  Eric: He doesn't have to do anything other than move real fast, though.
• 19:18
  Eric: Like that's what it's like.
• 19:18
  Matt: Well that's what that that's all I was saying.
• 19:20
  Matt: Like, can't he he has the ability to like manipulate time because of how fast he can go because he can put his feet down on the earth super fast and like turn it.
• 19:28
  Matt: That's what I was thinking.
• 19:29
  Matt: I wasn't thinking of crypto cryptocon.
• 19:33
  Eric: He's canonically outrun death.
• 19:36
  Eric: Man, uh oh, here's other wild shit he can do.
• 19:39
  Eric: Uh he can, from how fast he moves, run through something and excite the atoms in such a way that they essentially explode, like create like mini nuclear explosions, but he can decide what atoms do that.
• 19:55
  Matt: Okay, that I didn't know, and that is very specific of a power.
• 19:58
  Eric: He could just like canonically, Flash can just wipe the entire roster of any uh comic book universe, like there's no there's no getting around it, and that's what I'm seeing with Roadrunner.
• 20:10
  Eric: He is literally bending reality from how fast he's moving.
• 20:14
  SPEAKER_07: Yeah.
• 20:15
  Eric: But Matt, what on the subject of reality warping, yeah a a a here too unmentioned weapon has come to mind.
• 20:25
  Eric: And honestly, I have yet to like since I remembered it, I have yet to think of a single weapon in the history of cartoon weaponry that can top this.
• 20:35
  Eric: Oh my god, what is it?
• 20:37
  SPEAKER_07: Matt, uh what?
• 20:39
  SPEAKER_07: The pencil.
• 20:40
  SPEAKER_07: The pencil the pencil, Matt! That can erase things in the drawing.
• 20:46
  SPEAKER_07: Daffy Duck is fucking fighting a pencil.
• 20:50
  SPEAKER_07: Daffy Duck.
• 20:51
  Matt: This pencil and the meta pencil.
• 20:53
  SPEAKER_07: The meta pencil! It can fucking erase you from existence.
• 20:59
  Eric: It can unmake you, dude.
• 21:02
  Eric: It can unmake you, it can remake you in the image of some dumbass, like four-legged daffodil fucking horseshoe having piece of shit.
• 21:10
  Matt: You know what that is?
• 21:11
  Matt: As far as a cartoon reality, an animated reality is concerned, the pencil is God.
• 21:18
  Eric: The pencil's God, which is even more fucked up, and this is what worries me even more, is when they do that final zoom out at the end of the episode, you see who's holding the pencil, it's Bugs fucking bunny.
• 21:31
  Eric: It's Bugs Bunny.
• 21:32
  Matt: So he is God within his own reality.
• 21:36
  Matt: Fuck that's why Bugs is so goddamn confident all the time.
• 21:39
  SPEAKER_07: Implications, Matt.
• 21:42
  Eric: Like they just handed the power of God to fucking Mel Blanc.
• 21:47
  Matt: You know, and of all the characters to be trusted, I don't, you know, Bugs.
• 21:53
  Matt: I don't know.
• 21:54
  Matt: I hope he's on our side.
• 21:55
  Matt: I don't know if he's the most mature to be handling that power.
• 21:59
  Matt: It also suggests.
• 22:01
  Matt: I don't know who is.
• 22:02
  Eric: At no point does Daffy in the episode identify like recognize Bugs or say, hey, that you like he only seems to be able to interact with and like perceive the pencil as it comes down.
• 22:12
  Eric: He kind of just shouts up to the sky.
• 22:14
  Eric: So what's even more horrifying about that is not only is Bugs Bunny God, he is establishing that he is aware that Daffy and everyone else, maybe including him, are cartoons.
• 22:30
  Eric: He is breaking like he like he is even more erasing the fourth wall.
• 22:35
  Eric: He's erasing the fourth wall.
• 22:38
  Eric: He's not just breaking it, he's getting rid of it.
• 22:40
  Eric: And like he's just toy toying with this life form with his godlike power.
• 22:47
  Eric: It's a plaything to him.
• 22:48
  Matt: Yes.
• 22:49
  Matt: Reality itself is a plaything.
• 22:52
  Eric: And God bugs help us if he ever grows bored with Daffy.
• 22:57
  Eric: Bugs help us.
• 22:58
  Eric: Wow.
• 22:59
  Eric: So yeah, that worries me the most.
• 23:01
  Eric: Okay, the pencil the pencil of fucking pencil worries me the most.
• 23:05
  Eric: The pencil of reality shaping.
• 23:08
  Eric: The meta pencil.
• 23:09
  Eric: I liked your title for it.
• 23:10
  Eric: The meta pencil.
• 23:10
  Matt: Meta pencil, yes.
• 23:12
  Matt: Absolutely.
• 23:13
  Matt: That is the most dangerous weapon of any, of any, of all.
• 23:16
  Matt: Yeah.
• 23:17
  Matt: In that in this regard, the pencil is certainly lightier than the there it is.
• 23:22
  Matt: I support you.
• 23:24
  Matt: I didn't say it though.
• 23:25
  Eric: Go on.
• 23:26
  Eric: I'm supporting you in the middle of saying it.
• 23:27
  Eric: Than the landmine.
• 23:29
  Eric: There.
• 23:29
  Eric: See?
• 23:29
  Eric: Oh I switched it up.
• 23:31
  Eric: Alright.
• 23:31
  Eric: I switched it up.
• 23:32
  Eric: You hear that?
• 23:33
  Eric: You hear that, folks?
• 23:33
  Eric: Whoop.
• 23:34
  Eric: Smacked back my hand.
• 23:35
  Eric: That's what I get.
• 23:36
  Matt: Because you stepped on my fucking bit.
• 23:38
  Eric: Okay, Eric.
• 23:39
  Eric: I'm sorry.
• 23:41
  Eric: I am sorry.
• 23:42
  Eric: Anyway, Eric, you want to hit us?
• 23:43
  Eric: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 23:44
  Eric: So our second question today.
• 23:46
  Eric: Uh this is from our this question comes from uh across across the ocean.
• 23:52
  Eric: Uh from our good friend Andy, always a cookie on Instagram.
• 23:56
  Eric: So he says, lads.
• 23:58
  Eric: I assume that, you know, he didn't put that in there, but I guess I think I got it.
• 24:02
  Eric: Yeah, I assume he prefaces every question.
• 24:04
  Eric: Oi, lads.
• 24:06
  Eric: You have he says, you have already established when Miller time is.
• 24:12
  Eric: But Andy's question is, but how long to the second is a moment?
• 24:20
  Matt: Yes, of course.
• 24:21
  Matt: And that is uh episode 11, Radicalized Dolphins, uh, where we talk about Miller time, and uh Andy himself was a guest on uh episode 27.
• 24:33
  unknown: Ooh.
• 24:33
  Matt: Just a little you daft history for you before we get into this question.
• 24:38
  Matt: So, Eric, so let's let's get into it.
• 24:40
  Eric: Let me tell you what I love about this question.
• 24:42
  Eric: Tell me.
• 24:42
  Eric: It's my favorite kind of question.
• 24:44
  Eric: Oh one I can Google in five seconds.
• 24:47
  Eric: Oh I don't know about that anymore.
• 24:49
  Eric: Well, no, I know, well, so I know, actually, before I pull it up, yeah, I know so I know that a moment does have a defined length.
• 24:59
  Eric: It does?
• 24:59
  Eric: It does.
• 25:01
  Eric: I really I yes.
• 25:03
  Eric: I believe I know I believe that a a moment is defined as 13 seconds.
• 25:12
  Eric: I read that somewhere once.
• 25:14
  Matt: 13 seconds?
• 25:16
  Eric: I think.
• 25:17
  Matt: That is oddly specific.
• 25:19
  Matt: That seems like the kind of thing we'd come up with as a joke.
• 25:22
  Eric: It does.
• 25:23
  Eric: Okay, so 13 seconds.
• 25:25
  Eric: I now we will verify.
• 25:27
  Eric: Now we will verify because I'm getting increasingly nervous that I'm wrong.
• 25:30
  Matt: Okay, you're doing the scientific method of Google.
• 25:32
  Eric: So Wikipedia defines a moment, parentheticals time.
• 25:38
  Matt: Yes.
• 25:39
  Eric: A moment is a medieval unit of time.
• 25:43
  Eric: The movement of a shadow on a sundial covered 40 moments in a solar hour, a twelfth of the period between sunrise and sunset.
• 25:52
  Eric: The length of a solar hour depended on the length of the day, which in turn varied with the season.
• 25:57
  Eric: Although the length of a moment in modern seconds was therefore not fixed, on average, a moment corresponded to, I'm sorry, 90 seconds.
• 26:11
  Eric: 90 seconds.
• 26:15
  SPEAKER_03: A minute and a half.
• 26:16
  SPEAKER_03: A moment is a minute and a half?
• 26:20
  Matt: No, science is wrong.
• 26:22
  Eric: I'm sorry, can I just take a minute and a half of your time?
• 26:25
  Eric: Eric to talk about how this is bullshit?
• 26:28
  Matt: Yeah, let me let me let me you want to know how I know it's bullshit.
• 26:31
  Matt: How do you know it's bullshit?
• 26:32
  Matt: In how I know instantly in my bones that it's bullshit.
• 26:36
  Matt: Okay.
• 26:36
  Matt: Let me just imagine for a second.
• 26:38
  Matt: Okay.
• 26:38
  Eric: You know, uh God forbid a moment.
• 26:41
  Matt: Yeah, just a second.
• 26:42
  Matt: So to say, you know, hey, I just got back from this date, you know, and I felt like it went okay, you know.
• 26:48
  Matt: And so, but then at the end of it, there was this weird moment where she looked at me, and then for 90 seconds, we stared at each other.
• 27:02
  Matt: There's no way that that is a moment.
• 27:05
  Matt: Jesus Christ, like, like hold on.
• 27:07
  Matt: I hold on, I just need a moment, and by that I mean 90 seconds.
• 27:13
  Eric: Matt, we're we're in the movie.
• 27:15
  Eric: We're diffusing a fucking bomb.
• 27:17
  Eric: We're McGrubering the bomb.
• 27:18
  Eric: We're diffusing the fucking bomb.
• 27:20
  Eric: I'm in the shit.
• 27:20
  Eric: I'm like, all right, Matt, Matt, Matt, hand me a spanner, and you're just like, one moment.
• 27:23
  Eric: Here you go.
• 27:24
  Eric: Yeah, one moment.
• 27:26
  Eric: And then we're dead because the bomb was gonna go off in like 15 seconds.
• 27:30
  Eric: I don't have like six of those to just fuck around with.
• 27:34
  Eric: Absolutely not.
• 27:35
  Eric: Well, now that we have defined technically I reject it.
• 27:42
  Matt: I reject it.
• 27:42
  Matt: Okay.
• 27:43
  Matt: Where's the source on that?
• 27:45
  Matt: Where did Wikipedia get that source?
• 27:47
  Matt: Let me let me check source ancient Rome.
• 27:51
  Matt: That's not even a real place.
• 27:53
  Matt: No.
• 27:54
  Matt: You know what?
• 27:55
  Matt: Caesar was stabbed for a reason.
• 27:57
  Eric: Fucking fucking six momentum.
• 28:01
  Eric: E2 secundus.
• 28:04
  Eric: Um, so yeah, like what I'm trying to think of an even remotely appropriate.
• 28:10
  Eric: Wait, hold on.
• 28:11
  Eric: Is that the footnote?
• 28:12
  Matt: The footnote led you to ancient Rome?
• 28:14
  Matt: Hold on, is that real?
• 28:15
  Eric: No, but like it said it said that it was all based off measurement on a sundial.
• 28:21
  Matt: Yeah.
• 28:22
  Matt: Why are we trying to take exact measurements from a shadow?
• 28:27
  Eric: And can I ask Why are we taking advice from a civilization that collapsed?
• 28:32
  Matt: Yeah, yeah, that's a great question, okay?
• 28:35
  Matt: Again, I have to say, you know what?
• 28:37
  Matt: Forget the Romans, it falls to us.
• 28:40
  Eric: It falls to us, it falls to us.
• 28:43
  Eric: Rome, thanks for the fonts, but stay dead.
• 28:47
  Matt: Hey, Rome, thanks for playing, okay?
• 28:50
  Eric: Hey, Rome, thank you for Russell Crowe, but be gone.
• 28:54
  Matt: Hey, Rome, thanks for columns.
• 28:58
  SPEAKER_07: Hey, Rome, thanks, you know, thanks, but no thanks.
• 29:04
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
• 29:05
  SPEAKER_05: How about you as you put it, you stay dead.
• 29:08
  Eric: Yeah.
• 29:09
  Eric: Uh Rome, you can't see it because this is a podcast, but I'm doing that thing where I'm holding my hand out and then I'm turning my thumb down.
• 29:16
  Matt: Now, Eric, this might fascinate you to know this.
• 29:18
  Matt: Rome is actually still alive.
• 29:19
  Matt: Thriving city, as it turns out.
• 29:20
  Eric: Oh, good for them.
• 29:23
  Eric: Fucking great.
• 29:25
  Eric: But their empire is dead.
• 29:26
  Eric: Their empire is fucking dog shit.
• 29:29
  Eric: What I know is you lost at risk, Rome.
• 29:32
  Eric: I know that.
• 29:33
  Eric: All right.
• 29:34
  Eric: So now that we've now we've over now that Rome has been overthrown a second time.
• 29:38
  SPEAKER_05: Since we just overthrew Rome again.
• 29:41
  SPEAKER_05: Since we just stabbed the streets.
• 29:44
  SPEAKER_07: The only podcast in the top ten leisure charts of good pods to overthrow Rome.
• 29:52
  Eric: Overthrow Rome.
• 29:54
  Eric: Fuck.
• 29:55
  Eric: Um now that we've done that.
• 29:57
  Eric: Let's redefine.
• 29:59
  Eric: Oh, okay.
• 29:59
  Eric: Sorry.
• 30:00
  Eric: I just want to like every kiss begins with K.
• 30:02
  Eric: Like, I just want to throw this like let's redefine a moment.
• 30:05
  Matt: Let's redefine a moment.
• 30:07
  Matt: And we know we have a baseline.
• 30:09
  Matt: We know a nine that 90 seconds is too fucking long.
• 30:12
  Eric: Yeah.
• 30:13
  Eric: No, that's that's that's times old Roman.
• 30:16
  Matt: That's times old Roman.
• 30:17
  Eric: I want some, I want times new Roman.
• 30:19
  Eric: We're it's it's 2022, babe.
• 30:21
  Eric: Like, we can't we can't be having 90 second moments.
• 30:24
  Matt: No, and uh to be honest, I say we go bold type.
• 30:28
  Matt: Oh, you know what I'm saying?
• 30:30
  Matt: Yes, so okay, so you're you originally thought 13 seconds.
• 30:35
  Eric: I originally thought I can't remember where I pulled that out of my ass.
• 30:38
  Eric: Moment 13 seconds.
• 30:39
  Eric: Actually, let's take a moment, huh?
• 30:41
  Eric: Let's try that out.
• 30:42
  Matt: You want to sit here for 13 seconds of air?
• 30:45
  Matt: Let's just try it on and see how it fits.
• 30:47
  Matt: We don't have to buy it.
• 30:47
  Matt: All right, you ready?
• 30:49
  Matt: No, I okay, I you want our listeners to sit here and listen to silence for 13 seconds.
• 30:55
  Eric: I want our listeners to experience a possibility.
• 31:00
  Eric: And I don't think that's asking much.
• 31:02
  Matt: Okay.
• 31:03
  Matt: All right, fine.
• 31:04
  Matt: All right.
• 31:05
  Matt: I don't I don't know.
• 31:06
  Eric: In the time we have argued about this, we could have had several of these.
• 31:10
  Matt: Yeah, but it was more entertaining.
• 31:11
  Matt: All right, I'm starting the moment clock.
• 31:14
  Eric: Moment.
• 31:15
  Matt: And begin.
• 31:28
  Matt: 13 seconds.
• 31:29
  Matt: It's too long.
• 31:30
  Matt: It's too long.
• 31:31
  Matt: I told you that.
• 31:31
  Matt: No, it's I told you that.
• 31:33
  Matt: To be honest, I felt uncomfortable at six seconds.
• 31:35
  Eric: I yes.
• 31:36
  Eric: Like six seconds is where I stopped counting because I was like, too long.
• 31:40
  Eric: Maybe that's it.
• 31:41
  Eric: Is it six seconds?
• 31:43
  Eric: Maybe it's six seconds.
• 31:44
  Eric: Do we want to try that one on real quick?
• 31:46
  Eric: Hold on.
• 31:47
  Eric: I'll okay.
• 31:48
  Eric: You know what I you know what I realize?
• 31:49
  Eric: I think the problem you're having with this is that it's an audio medium and you're just plus seconds.
• 31:55
  Eric: That's that's dumb.
• 31:55
  Eric: Don't ever say that again.
• 31:57
  Eric: Um, the problem is we did not have something appropriate to precipitate a moment of silence.
• 32:04
  Eric: So you're you're absolutely right.
• 32:07
  Eric: We have to so hold on.
• 32:09
  Eric: What can we what can we okay?
• 32:10
  Eric: Okay, you're gonna have fun with this.
• 32:12
  Eric: Uh, what's something shitty that happened to you today?
• 32:14
  Eric: Why does it gotta be me?
• 32:15
  Matt: Why don't we gotta add my dirty laundry?
• 32:17
  Matt: What's something shitty that happened to you?
• 32:19
  Matt: All right.
• 32:20
  Matt: Um, ooh.
• 32:22
  Eric: Uh I had so okay.
• 32:25
  Eric: So I went to go get coffee, right?
• 32:27
  unknown: Yeah.
• 32:28
  Eric: Went to the break room.
• 32:29
  Eric: Sure.
• 32:29
  Eric: Went to the coffee pump.
• 32:30
  Matt: Yeah.
• 32:31
  Eric: Uh coffee pump is empty.
• 32:32
  Eric: Oh no.
• 32:33
  Eric: That's not the trash.
• 32:34
  Matt: I mean, it's it's up there though.
• 32:36
  Eric: It's one of those big coffee, like, it's one of those big, nice industrial coffee.
• 32:39
  Eric: Like, it can make like a giant carafe of poff.
• 32:42
  Matt: Yeah, it's a break room coffee maker.
• 32:43
  Eric: Um, so I so I go, you know, I get the I get the little little little the little cup thing that holds the filter that you put the coffee in.
• 32:49
  Eric: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 32:50
  Eric: Uh we have a very strict policy uh in in my break room.
• 32:53
  Eric: You do not uh because they're they come they're pre-measured bags of ground coffee.
• 32:57
  Eric: You do not use just one for a whole pot.
• 32:59
  Eric: You it's it's it's one and a half.
• 33:01
  Eric: We need get shit done coffee.
• 33:02
  Matt: Okay.
• 33:03
  Eric: So, buddy, I I I I went to it, I went to tear the perforated edge.
• 33:08
  Eric: Oh, oh man, that's ooh, they really oh no.
• 33:11
  Eric: Oh yeah, grounds ever and people were waiting behind me for coffee.
• 33:16
  Eric: Grounds everywhere, grounds on my shirt, grounds on the counter, grounds.
• 33:21
  Eric: So if we could just take a moment of silence for my uh for my dignity in at that time.
• 33:30
  Eric: Uh just a moment of silence for our for all our heroes at the coffee maker.
• 33:39
  Matt: That's six seconds right now.
• 33:41
  Matt: That felt good.
• 33:42
  Matt: That felt good.
• 33:42
  Matt: That felt like an up an appropriate moment of silence, too.
• 33:47
  Matt: Yeah.
• 33:47
  Matt: We were taking a moment of silence.
• 33:49
  Matt: For this, for this not like a death.
• 33:52
  Eric: Now that's now I want to try that glove on.
• 33:55
  Matt: No, we can't.
• 33:56
  Matt: No, no, no, we don't need to.
• 33:58
  Matt: We don't need it.
• 34:00
  Matt: Because think about it.
• 34:01
  Matt: We just did 13 seconds.
• 34:02
  Matt: That's double what we just did with the six seconds.
• 34:05
  Matt: Okay.
• 34:06
  Matt: And that felt weird.
• 34:07
  Matt: That felt uncomfortable.
• 34:08
  Matt: I think even if somebody died, I wouldn't want to be quiet for 13 seconds.
• 34:11
  Matt: No, yeah, that's true.
• 34:12
  Eric: No, six seconds is really it leaves you, honestly, and in in part, like, as soon as you come out of it, you kind of left wanting more.
• 34:20
  Eric: Yes.
• 34:21
  Eric: But we know, and what our listeners now know because they did it with us, they we know in our wisdom, the overthrowers of Rome, that you don't want more than six seconds.
• 34:34
  Eric: You think you do.
• 34:35
  Eric: It's better to leave someone thinking they want more than actually giving it to them.
• 34:40
  Matt: Which is what we do every episode.
• 34:42
  unknown: Fuck!
• 34:43
  Matt: That is gold.
• 34:44
  Matt: We leave them wanting more.
• 34:46
  Matt: That is gold.
• 34:48
  Matt: And we've done it again.
• 34:49
  Matt: Six seconds is the definition of a moment.
• 34:53
  Eric: The the the the the times new Sans Roman moment.
• 35:00
  Matt: Yeah, yeah.
• 35:01
  Matt: Eat your heart out, Mark Anthony.
• 35:06
  Matt: And other Romans of note.
• 35:11
  Matt: I hate to use such strong terms, but there we go.
• 35:14
  Matt: What can you do?
• 35:14
  Matt: What can you do?
• 35:15
  Matt: Well, Erica, I believe we have time for uh one more question here today.
• 35:20
  Matt: Um, and this is interesting.
• 35:22
  Matt: This comes from somebody by the name of B Rad.
• 35:25
  Matt: Oh, that's my boy, Big Bad B Rad.
• 35:28
  Matt: Oh, big bad B Rad.
• 35:30
  Matt: Well, you know what?
• 35:31
  Matt: Why don't you give us the Big Bad B Rad question?
• 35:34
  Eric: So I I will preface this with I got like a clutch of questions from my for friends from my hometown of Glen Burney, Maryland.
• 35:44
  Matt: Who you've only said good things about.
• 35:46
  Eric: Oh, yes.
• 35:47
  Eric: Uh so you know, to all the boys, you know, to TCube Deville, DJ Joey G, you know, Kevin, uh, and Big Bad B Rad.
• 35:55
  Eric: What is your life?
• 35:57
  Eric: Uh we don't We don't have time.
• 35:59
  Eric: We don't have time to get into that.
• 36:00
  Eric: We can't we can't we can't even afford a moment right now.
• 36:03
  Eric: Um not a moment to spare.
• 36:05
  Eric: Not a moment to spare.
• 36:06
  Eric: I just want to let all my all my homies know.
• 36:08
  Eric: Just want to let all my boys know.
• 36:10
  Eric: Uh they sent me a bunch of questions, and like I told them over text, there is wheat and there is chaff.
• 36:18
  Eric: And daddy's out here trying to make that bread.
• 36:21
  Eric: So big bad B Rad, you won this.
• 36:25
  Eric: You won this time.
• 36:26
  Eric: Your question's getting through.
• 36:27
  Eric: Which, fun fact about B Rad, uh he also had shingles.
• 36:34
  Matt: Nice B Rad.
• 36:35
  Matt: I literally feel your pain.
• 36:37
  Eric: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 36:38
  Eric: When he eventually one day listens to this episode, I just wanted to know that I acknowledge his pain.
• 36:42
  Matt: Well, if he doesn't listen to the episode, then I don't feel his pain.
• 36:44
  Eric: Okay.
• 36:45
  Eric: Uh B Rad asks, what happened to make all beavers biologically predispositioned to hate running water?
• 36:54
  Eric: Mm-hmm.
• 36:55
  Eric: Mm-hmm.
• 36:55
  Eric: That is interesting.
• 36:57
  Eric: Because it's gotta be an evolution thing, right?
• 36:59
  Eric: Like something had to happen to them.
• 37:01
  Matt: Yes, to to come to come into the world the enemy of a running water.
• 37:08
  Eric: Yeah, and like, and that's what I mean.
• 37:10
  Eric: I like I don't think anything happened to individual beavers.
• 37:13
  Eric: No, I think something happened on a grand scale that scarred the the progenitors of beavers so hard that they're like evolutionary, evolutionarily written into their code to be see a stream and go, fuck that.
• 37:29
  Matt: Yeah, absolutely.
• 37:31
  Matt: All right, so let's think about the beaver.
• 37:33
  Matt: Because I think you're right.
• 37:34
  Matt: It has to be an evolution thing.
• 37:35
  Matt: So you it has to be an evolution thing.
• 37:37
  Matt: You come into this world, you're a beaver.
• 37:40
  Matt: We're beavers now.
• 37:41
  Matt: We're beavers, we're beavers.
• 37:42
  Matt: Be a be beavers with me.
• 37:45
  Matt: That's me slap my tail in agreement.
• 37:48
  Matt: We come into this world, we got these teeth.
• 37:50
  Matt: I'm ready to chuck.
• 37:52
  Matt: We're ready to chuck, even though different species.
• 37:55
  Matt: That's a groundhog.
• 37:56
  Matt: We we get in there, and we we go, we're getting into the woods.
• 38:01
  Matt: We we're walking around.
• 38:06
  SPEAKER_07: And we enter the stream.
• 38:09
  Matt: And we hate it.
• 38:11
  Matt: And we hate it.
• 38:13
  Matt: We hate this.
• 38:14
  Matt: This is not a vibe.
• 38:15
  Matt: No, this is not a vibe.
• 38:16
  Matt: This is not a vibe.
• 38:17
  Matt: This will not go.
• 38:19
  Matt: Everybody needs to slow down or just needs to back it the fuck up.
• 38:25
  Matt: Okay, and so what are we gonna do about this?
• 38:28
  Matt: I start gathering some sticks and you know what?
• 38:30
  Matt: Hey, looks like we have a house.
• 38:32
  Matt: But what made me, the beaver, want to why what makes the river not a vibe, you know?
• 38:41
  Eric: That that's the real question.
• 38:43
  Eric: I think you just nailed what the actual question is.
• 38:46
  Matt: Yes.
• 38:46
  Eric: I think it's why is the river why is the river not a vibe?
• 38:50
  Eric: Why is the river not a vibe?
• 38:52
  Eric: Why is the river not a vibe?
• 38:53
  Eric: I I think the beavers are picking up on that.
• 38:55
  Eric: Like, why is the river not a vibe?
• 38:56
  Eric: I have no idea.
• 38:58
  Eric: I got nothing.
• 39:00
  Matt: You have nothing.
• 39:01
  Eric: I have nothing.
• 39:02
  Eric: Okay.
• 39:03
  Eric: I've had a pretty decent relationship with rivers.
• 39:07
  Eric: Sure.
• 39:07
  Matt: Okay, interesting.
• 39:08
  Matt: It's ebbed and flowed, but nice.
• 39:11
  Matt: Well done.
• 39:11
  Matt: We're making water jokes now.
• 39:13
  Matt: All right.
• 39:13
  Matt: Sorry, beavers.
• 39:15
  Matt: I don't know.
• 39:16
  Matt: I'm drawing a blank a little bit.
• 39:17
  Eric: Because like I'm over here.
• 39:18
  Eric: Like maybe it's maybe it's my maybe it's my human privilege, but like, I'm drawing I think rivers are pretty fucking dope.
• 39:25
  Eric: But obviously they're not a vibe.
• 39:26
  Matt: Yeah.
• 39:27
  Matt: You know, Eric, I uh you know, obviously people turn to us for for guidance on these issues.
• 39:34
  Matt: But it is occurring to me right now that um just on the other side of this wall here.
• 39:40
  Matt: Okay, my lovely, talented, beautiful wife, Lindsay Barr, former guest of this podcast.

  Matt: We got stuck.
• 40:49
  Eric: Okay, sure.
• 40:50
  Matt: Give us our starting questionnaire.
• 40:52
  Matt: So this is where we started from.
• 40:53
  Eric: This was our origin point.
• 40:55
  Eric: We've already gone past it.
• 40:56
  Eric: Um are we actually recording this right now?
• 40:58
  Eric: Oh, yes.
• 40:58
  Eric: Yes.
• 40:59
  Eric: So we're on the show right now.

  Eric: Incredible.
• 41:03
  Eric: Incredible.
• 41:04
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 41:05
  Eric: So the question is what happened to make all beavers biologically predispositioned to hate running water?
• 41:13
  Eric: Okay.
• 41:14
  Eric: And we chewed on that.
• 41:15
  Eric: We chewed on that for a while.
• 41:18
  Matt: We started there.
• 41:19
  Matt: We started.
• 41:20
  Eric: Okay, okay.
• 41:21
  Matt: We're not established.
• 41:22
  Matt: What we established, what we were able to get to.
• 41:24
  Eric: Yeah, this is after, and mind you, this is after like we became beavers.
• 41:29
  Eric: We be we we inhabited we inhabited the brain space of a beaver.
• 41:33
  Eric: We used method, which is Stanislavsky's method to become a beaver.
• 41:38
  Eric: We used unregistered method acting.
• 41:41
  SPEAKER_01: I uh yes, it's basically the best acting people associate with assholes.
• 41:46
  SPEAKER_00: Um, I do have a question.
• 41:48
  SPEAKER_00: We both have we both have a question about this stuff.
• 41:50
  Matt: Yes, okay, okay.
• 41:52
  SPEAKER_00: Who are we starting with?
• 41:53
  SPEAKER_00: Go ahead.
• 41:54
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, great.
• 41:54
  SPEAKER_00: I'll go ahead.
• 41:55
  SPEAKER_00: Um, so my question is in this process, yeah, did you attempt at any point to freaky Friday with a beaver?
• 42:03
  SPEAKER_07: Just the question.
• 42:04
  SPEAKER_07: Great question.
• 42:05
  Matt: Great, good question.
• 42:07
  Matt: We should have.
• 42:08
  Matt: We should have.
• 42:09
  Matt: We didn't.
• 42:09
  Matt: But but what we did do is we established that the real question here, Lindsay is leaving the Zoom.
• 42:16
  SPEAKER_05: I want everyone to meet.
• 42:17
  SPEAKER_05: We needed one thing.
• 42:19
  SPEAKER_00: She's literally walking away.
• 42:22
  SPEAKER_00: I'm going to get another white claw.
• 42:23
  SPEAKER_00: Also, I think she's also, I'm sorry, I have another question before you.
• 42:27
  Eric: Go on.
• 42:27
  Eric: Okay.
• 42:28
  Eric: Sarah told me, please go ahead.
• 42:30
  SPEAKER_00: Did you work on this by using the acting method where you you go into different squares and do different things?
• 42:37
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, Rossa boxes?
• 42:39
  Eric: No, yeah.
• 42:41
  Eric: Sorry, let me just put on my Bibatza.
• 42:45
  SPEAKER_02: I I think Sarah deserves 50 extra credit points for thinking about Rossa boxes at all.
• 42:52
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, what is the secondary question?
• 42:54
  SPEAKER_00: Well, she's an icon.
• 42:55
  Matt: So what we what we realized, what we put together is that the beaver looked at the running water, looked at the river, and said, This is not a vibe.
• 43:06
  Matt: This is not a vibe.
• 43:07
  Matt: And so what we want to know is why is the river not a vibe?
• 43:13
  Eric: That's what we've condensed it out to.
• 43:14
  Eric: That is the the root of the question.
• 43:16
  Eric: Why is the river not a vibe?
• 43:18
  Matt: Yes.
• 43:18
  Matt: Okay.
• 43:19
  Matt: We've never handled this many guests at once before.
• 43:21
  Matt: Uh Lindsay.
• 43:22
  Eric: Future Dr.
• 43:22
  Eric: and Mr.
• 43:23
  Eric: Lindsay Barr.
• 43:26
  SPEAKER_02: Correct.
• 43:26
  SPEAKER_02: Thank you so much.
• 43:27
  SPEAKER_02: Correct.
• 43:28
  SPEAKER_02: Lindsay, Lindsay R.
• 43:29
  SPEAKER_02: Barr, if you will.
• 43:31
  Eric: And I will.
• 43:32
  SPEAKER_02: Thank you.
• 43:33
  SPEAKER_02: Um, what uh I I'm I'm inherently deeply confused by the premise.
• 43:40
  SPEAKER_02: So are you saying that there is a beaver?
• 43:43
  SPEAKER_02: There's a beaver.
• 43:44
  Matt: There's lots of them in the world, actually.
• 43:46
  Matt: Yep.
• 43:47
  SPEAKER_02: Never heard of it.
• 43:48
  SPEAKER_02: Thank you so much.
• 43:49
  SPEAKER_02: So there's a beaver.
• 43:50
  Matt: Yes.
• 43:50
  Matt: That they hate water.
• 43:52
  Matt: They don't.
• 43:52
  Matt: We know the it's a basic fact, Lindsay.
• 43:55
  Matt: Lind beavers don't like water running.
• 43:57
  Matt: They're born.
• 43:58
  Eric: They're born.
• 43:59
  Eric: They Walk up to a river and they go, ooh no.
• 44:02
  SPEAKER_00: Sorry.
• 44:03
  SPEAKER_00: Are you interrupting the future Dr.
• 44:05
  SPEAKER_00: Bar to mansplain?
• 44:07
  SPEAKER_00: Are you mansplaining to future Dr.
• 44:09
  SPEAKER_02: I thank you?
• 44:10
  SPEAKER_02: I believe, I believe I am a victim of mansplaining.
• 44:14
  Matt: I believe I was.
• 44:15
  Matt: Future.
• 44:15
  Matt: I believe I uh touche.
• 44:17
  SPEAKER_02: Touche.
• 44:17
  Matt: Touche.
• 44:19
  Matt: Oh god.
• 44:20
  SPEAKER_02: Ah touche.
• 44:22
  Matt: Ollie.
• 44:22
  Matt: You know what?
• 44:23
  Matt: I'll see myself.
• 44:24
  Matt: I'm gonna put myself on mute.
• 44:26
  SPEAKER_02: I I would argue that the fact that beavers don't like water, considering that their main one dwelling space is water, and two, the things they build inherently handle water is not uh is not canon.
• 44:39
  Matt: But they don't live in the water, they live in a little stick paradise upon the water.
• 44:44
  Eric: Upon the water, upon the water.
• 44:46
  Eric: They're like they're like Annapolis folk.
• 44:48
  unknown: Okay.
• 44:49
  unknown: Get out, get out.
• 44:54
  SPEAKER_00: Thank you, thank you, thank you.
• 44:56
  SPEAKER_00: Um, so is your premise that the beaver does not like water built upon the fact that it builds dams to stop the water from flowing?
• 45:05
  Matt: Yes, and just a clarification, it's also not our premise, it is the premise we were given.
• 45:10
  Eric: And honestly, yes, but also the the good it's not that they hate water, at least from the question, they hate running water.
• 45:20
  Eric: Chris, not chrism, so I call me Chris.
• 45:23
  Eric: Fuck.
• 45:23
  Eric: I don't even know what to call him.
• 45:24
  Eric: I'm not using this kind of pressure math.
• 45:26
  SPEAKER_00: I have an unrelated question.
• 45:30
  SPEAKER_07: I'm sure you do.
• 45:32
  SPEAKER_00: Of course I do.
• 45:33
  SPEAKER_00: Um, are they are they upset by the running water that is pee that comes out of their body?
• 45:38
  SPEAKER_00: Because that's running water.
• 45:39
  SPEAKER_00: Great question.
• 45:41
  Matt: You know what?
• 45:41
  Matt: I bet they are.
• 45:42
  unknown: I bet they are.
• 45:43
  Matt: But also like Carissa.
• 45:45
  Matt: Yep.
• 45:46
  SPEAKER_00: I was just gonna the question I was going to ask is um related to that.
• 45:52
  SPEAKER_00: In that is the running water not a vibe because it makes them have to pee.
• 45:58
  SPEAKER_00: Which running water they feed.
• 46:00
  Matt: Which ignites their their self-hatred for their own body chemistry.
• 46:07
  SPEAKER_07: Oh my god.
• 46:09
  SPEAKER_07: Oh see, I knew we'd get there.
• 46:11
  SPEAKER_07: I knew we'd get there.
• 46:13
  SPEAKER_07: That's why the river is not a vibe.
• 46:15
  SPEAKER_07: Makes them want to piss.
• 46:16
  SPEAKER_07: That's why we came here.
• 46:19
  SPEAKER_07: Dang.
• 46:21
  SPEAKER_02: Because you came you came here to ask a question that two men couldn't figure out, but three women could.
• 46:25
  Eric: Well, that's just the history of the world, Lindsay.
• 46:29
  Eric: Now, if you'll excuse me, Matt and Matt and I are gonna go back to the episode and take all the credit.
• 46:34
  Matt: Yes, excuse us.
• 46:35
  Matt: Thank you for your contribution.
• 46:39
  SPEAKER_01: As as is historical precedent.
• 46:42
  Eric: Don't worry, you'll get a Hallmark special in like 40 years talking about how you're an unsung hero.
• 46:48
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it'll it'll be played by like a model 40 times taller than me and 60 times prettier.
• 46:53
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, obviously.
• 46:54
  SPEAKER_02: So it works.
• 46:56
  Eric: Well, we came here, we we came for a river, but we left with toxic masculinity and a Hallmark channel.
• 47:06
  Eric: As we always do.
• 47:08
  Eric: Arguably all the same thing.
• 47:09
  Eric: All the same thing, all the same thing.
• 47:12
  Matt: It's all not a vibe.
• 47:13
  Eric: We cannot we cannot thank you enough for for guiding us down this path of wisdom.
• 47:17
  Matt: We were in a dark place.
• 47:18
  Matt: We were in a it was it was getting grim.
• 47:21
  Matt: It was grim.
• 47:22
  Matt: Um, there was several several moments of silence.
• 47:26
  Matt: Uh, dramatic irony.
• 47:28
  Matt: Uh let's go, Eric.
• 47:30
  Matt: Let's go.
• 47:31
  Eric: Bye.
• 47:36

• 47:39
  Matt: Oh my god.
• 47:41
  Matt: Uh, that was a delightful time.
• 47:42
  Matt: But Eric, it is time for us to uh go on to another segment.
• 47:47
  Matt: And I I believe we're gonna it was so popular the first time around.
• 47:50
  Matt: I think we're gonna list some more Google gripes.
• 47:54

• 48:03
  Eric: Yes, yes.

  Matt: Okay.
• 48:16
  Eric: Uh so you've got how many three three places, and I've selected three one-star reviews for each.
• 48:24
  Eric: See if you got.
• 48:25
  Eric: All right, all right.
• 48:26
  Eric: I'm ready.
• 48:26
  Eric: All right.
• 48:26
  Eric: The first one.
• 48:28
  Matt: Yes.
• 48:29
  Eric: One-star review number one.
• 48:31
  Eric: The visit to this place was quite unpleasant for me.
• 48:34
  Eric: The outside personnel act like the military.
• 48:37
  Eric: They speak rude.
• 48:38
  Eric: I can't ask.
• 48:39
  Eric: They don't listen to you.
• 48:41
  Eric: I felt badly discriminated against because in the security section I had a three-inch long nail cutter, and they told me I had to throw it away.
• 48:49
  Eric: I asked them if I could leave the backpack there so as to not miss the visit.
• 48:53
  Eric: That was a medical tool because of my condition in my hands, but in a bad way, they told me to beat it.
• 49:02
  Matt: So that's review number one.
• 49:04
  Matt: I do have a couple of guests from that.
• 49:06
  Matt: Um, okay, yeah, yeah.
• 49:07
  Matt: Continue.
• 49:08
  Matt: Review number two.
• 49:10
  Eric: Went because I heard it was actually very good.
• 49:14
  Eric: Can you hear where the all caps are?
• 49:16
  Eric: I can.
• 49:17
  Eric: Yes, well done.
• 49:18
  Eric: I've never been so disappointed in my life.
• 49:21
  Eric: It doesn't even look like him.
• 49:24
  Eric: Ooh, that's that's a curveball.
• 49:27
  Eric: Okay, all right.
• 49:29
  Eric: Third one.
• 49:30
  Eric: Um, Spider-Man wasn't there when I visited.
• 49:33
  Eric: I saw him in this documentary of his life, and I thought he would be climbing up again for like publicity or something.
• 49:38
  Eric: He wasn't.
• 49:39
  Eric: It was very disappointing.
• 49:41
  Eric: All right, I think I got it now.
• 49:42
  Eric: Now, see, here's the fucked up thing because I realized as I read this, like, oh, he's probably gonna think it's one place.
• 49:46
  Eric: If you get this, I'll be very impressed because I realized I threw a curveball at you.
• 49:48
  Eric: Go on.
• 49:49
  Matt: Well, the your la Okay, now your comment is throwing me off.
• 49:51
  Matt: I thought, I'm sorry, no, no, stick to stick with your impulse.
• 49:54
  Matt: Stick with your impulse.
• 49:55
  Matt: All right, my impulse is to say the Washington Monument.
• 49:58
  Matt: Got it.
• 49:59
  Matt: Got it.
• 49:59
  Eric: I'm so scared.
• 50:01
  Eric: I was like, I didn't realize that the other was like, oh, fucking Spider-Man.
• 50:03
  Eric: He's gonna think I'm talking about like the Empire State Building or something.
• 50:05
  Matt: No, no, no, you're talking about homecoming stuff.
• 50:07
  Matt: Oh, I haven't seen homecoming.
• 50:09
  Matt: Can I can I tell you a true story uh related to your first review, just as a quick tangent?
• 50:13
  Matt: Oh, please, please.
• 50:14
  Matt: Uh this is uh from my Eagle Scout days.
• 50:17
  Matt: When we went, we took a trip to Canada and we went to the like uh the Parliament building, I guess it's called.
• 50:23
  Matt: I forget what it's called.
• 50:24
  Matt: And I a friend of mine uh brought a backpack full of weapons, including a hatchet uh and like several knives, and all these things just walked right up to the metal detector with a hatchet.
• 50:37
  Matt: And that's what your first review made me phenomenal.
• 50:41
  Matt: Uh so uh anyway, please.
• 50:42
  Matt: All right, second location.
• 50:43
  Matt: I'm one for one, I'm one for one, baby.
• 50:45
  Matt: One for one, baby.
• 50:46
  Eric: Second location.
• 50:47
  Eric: Yeah.
• 50:47
  Eric: So these three are fairly short, but that's because my third one's pretty long.
• 50:51
  Eric: Uh first review.
• 50:53
  Eric: Okay.
• 50:53
  Eric: First one-star review.
• 50:55
  Eric: Yeah.
• 50:55
  Eric: The place has architecture.
• 50:57
  Eric: That is about it.
• 50:59
  Eric: The locals treat it as an eyesore.
• 51:01
  Eric: Only tourists seem to like it.
• 51:03
  Matt: Ooh, interesting.
• 51:06
  Matt: Okay, alright.
• 51:07
  Matt: Vague.
• 51:07
  Eric: Review number two.
• 51:08
  Eric: Yes.
• 51:10
  Eric: I don't see what the fuss is about, Europe.
• 51:13
  Eric: It's just a big blank.
• 51:16
  Eric: Uh-huh.
• 51:16
  Eric: I will go to a place that sells alcohol instead.
• 51:20
  Eric: Alright, alright.
• 51:23
  Eric: This one, I I I will admit, probably severely narrows it down, but I just loved it so much.
• 51:29
  Eric: I mean, I think I have a good guess, but continue.
• 51:33
  Eric: Well, at least the view of Parliament was still decent.
• 51:36
  Matt: Ooh.
• 51:37
  Matt: And that's it.
• 51:38
  Matt: Ooh, okay.
• 51:40
  Matt: At least the view of Parliament was still decent.
• 51:44
  Matt: That changes what I thought it was gonna be.
• 51:47
  Matt: That changes what I thought it was gonna be.
• 51:50
  Matt: Um Can you give me the second one again?
• 51:53
  Eric: I don't see what the fuss is about Europe.
• 51:56
  Eric: Like they're asking Europe, like, what's the big fuss about this place?
• 51:59
  Eric: I got that.
• 52:00
  Eric: Thank you.
• 52:01
  Eric: It's just a big blank.
• 52:04
  Eric: Yeah.
• 52:04
  Eric: I will go to a place that sells alcohol instead.
• 52:07
  Eric: That's completely, but I love that one.
• 52:09
  Matt: Yes.
• 52:10
  Matt: Big Ben?
• 52:11
  Eric: Big Ben!
• 52:12
  Matt: Yeah, too.
• 52:14
  Matt: All right, alright.
• 52:15
  Matt: That gave it away.
• 52:16
  Matt: So I I assume it was that's just a big clock.
• 52:18
  Eric: Is that yes, it's just a big clock.
• 52:20
  Matt: Of course.
• 52:21
  Matt: Of course, we all know that Big Ben is in fact the bell, but uh, anyway.
• 52:24
  Eric: I just loved that third one because it was the most British one-star view.
• 52:29
  Eric: At least the view of Parliament was decent.
• 52:31
  Matt: Wow, that was such a different British accent for you, Eric.
• 52:33
  Matt: Normally, uh normally I expect it to be something like the view, Parliament!
• 52:38
  Eric: Like the view of Parliament was good from a pop.
• 52:41
  Eric: Um, so anyway.
• 52:43
  Matt: Third for two for two.
• 52:45
  Matt: This was your score, too.
• 52:46
  Eric: You I know you so so far we're even.
• 52:49
  Eric: And that's why I made the third one what I believe to be harder.
• 52:52
  Eric: I I have specifically gone hard for this one.
• 52:55
  Matt: I'm re you specifically went hard for this one.
• 52:58
  Matt: Title of your sex tape.
• 52:59
  Eric: And I know you've been there.
• 53:02
  Eric: The performance was good.
• 53:03
  Eric: However, during the show, there is no recession.
• 53:07
  Eric: Make sure you go to the bathroom before the show.
• 53:09
  Eric: If you have child within the middle of potty training, I wouldn't recommend to go.
• 53:16
  Eric: The door opens one hour before the show starts, but the seating area door opened later, so the lobby is packed with people in one step aside.
• 53:24
  Eric: Couldn't breath.
• 53:25
  Eric: Cocktail cost 16 in water taste.
• 53:28
  Eric: Large popcorn 15 filled about two-thirds amount with not so fresh taste.
• 53:33
  Eric: OV all, I wouldn't go back ever again.
• 53:38
  Eric: Compare to the show Quilludi, all the service was so poor.
• 53:42
  Eric: That's review number one.
• 53:44
  Eric: The show was great.
• 53:45
  Eric: Not thrilled to wait outside in the cold due to their disorganization and being told that the performers wait for no one.
• 53:53
  Eric: We missed part of the show.
• 53:55
  Eric: I would have been so embarrassed to bring an out-of-town slash country guest with me to experience the chaos we witnessed.
• 54:02
  Eric: Wow, okay.
• 54:03
  Eric: Third review.
• 54:04
  Eric: There were rodents, parenthetical rats, running around the venue when the lights came on.
• 54:11
  Eric: Guests were yelling and jumping up on their chairs.
• 54:14
  Eric: I saw two of them, but you can see there are plenty more by the groups of people who were shouting and jumping up on their chairs in different areas of the orchestra and mezzanine section.
• 54:23
  Eric: Disgusting! The staff tried to chase the rats away.
• 54:27
  Eric: The staff did not seem surprised.
• 54:29
  Matt: Concerning Okay, alright.
• 54:33
  Matt: You did not give me a ton to work with.
• 54:35
  Eric: Yep.
• 54:36
  Matt: Cause these all sound like you're reviewing like a Broadway show, for example.
• 54:41
  Matt: Uh that's what it sounds like to me.
• 54:43
  Eric: You're in you're in the neighborhood, my friend.
• 54:46
  Matt: I know I'm in the neighborhood.
• 54:47
  Matt: I can sense that.
• 54:48
  Matt: I can sense my surroundings.
• 54:50
  Matt: Um I think I I have a guess.
• 54:55
  Matt: Okay.
• 54:57
  Matt: I I know the pressure's on because if I if I get this right, I've got a lead against you all time.
• 55:02
  Matt: But it otherwise we're tied, which is appropriate.
• 55:05
  Matt: Which is appropriate.
• 55:06
  Matt: Okay.
• 55:07
  Eric: Alright.
• 55:08
  Eric: The Rockettes.
• 55:10
  Eric: It is in fact Radio City Music Hall.
• 55:12
  Eric: No fucking radio.
• 55:12
  Eric: Yep, you got it by there.
• 55:14
  SPEAKER_03: Oh my god!
• 55:15
  Eric: Oh Radio City Music Hall.
• 55:18
  Eric: Where the Rockettes perform.
• 55:20
  Eric: Yes, yes, yes, yes.
• 55:21
  Matt: Of course.
• 55:21
  Matt: I I thought for sure.
• 55:24
  SPEAKER_07: Man.
• 55:24
  Matt: I was like, you're talking about a show.
• 55:27
  Matt: Like it everything about this feels like Broadway, but you can't just say a it's not a Broadway theater.
• 55:33
  Eric: No, that would be a dick move.
• 55:35
  Matt: Okay, well, well, so then all time right now, Eric.
• 55:39
  Matt: It's three to two.
• 55:41
  Matt: It's three to two.
• 55:42
  Eric: So I tip my hat to you, sir.
• 55:44
  Matt: Until next time.
• 55:45
  Matt: Perhaps we'll have to up the up the ante even more.
• 55:49
  Matt: But people do seem to like this segment, so I'm sure we'll be bringing it back around.
• 55:53
  Matt: Yes.
• 55:53
  Matt: Uh, but that'll do it, I think, for episode 30.
• 55:56
  Matt: Oh, yeah.
• 55:57
  Matt: Four.
• 55:58
  Matt: If you didn't ask for this, as always, please drop us a review on your podcast app of choice.

• 56:08
  Eric: Leave them.

• 57:23
  Eric: Okay.
• 57:24
  Eric: I'm sorry, like in everything Joey always told about me, I never I never heard anything to suggest it was good.
• 57:31
  Eric: What I think she meant to say, and she explained this, was she didn't realize it was it was this was all stuff that was like really relevant to her interests.
• 57:40
  Eric: Because she thought we were uh because she she she knows I'm a big fucking nerd and her her fiance is a big fucking nerd.
