0:39
Oh, thank you. Yeah. I wasn't looking for that, but thank you. You found it. Oh, so how are you?
0:45
I've been pretty good. I've been looking forward to this for weeks. Me too. Overall, how's your
0:49
summer going it's hot um i hate to say that god i wish i hadn't said that delete that in post
0:54
i was thinking about this because my dad no no my dad every day comes in he goes oh it's hot
1:00
and it's like inducing such rage in me i don't know why so i'm like yeah it's hot like uh dennis
1:07
next dennis friend of the pod uh he's okay anyway i know uh yeah i'm good i'm good i feel like uh
1:17
You know, all the days run together.
1:19
They're all kind of the same, but in a way that I don't mind, you know.
1:23
Hmm.
1:23
Interesting.
1:24
Like, I'm enjoying my days.
1:25
I'm glad.
1:26
That makes me joyful due to how much I like you.
1:29
Oh, thank you.
1:30
Yeah.
1:31
Do you want me to do something about Dennis for you due to how much I like you?
1:35
Like, existentially?
1:36
Yeah.
1:36
We'll talk offline.
1:38
Okay.
1:38
All right.
1:39
Cool.
1:41
All right.
1:42
Oh, you want to hear something that happened to me yesterday?
1:45
I do.
1:46
uh well it didn't really happen to me it just happened around me i'm out okay i was driving
1:51
back on my usual way home from mesa my usual route and i don't know if this has always been
1:56
there or if this is a new thing um you look exasperated by this already uh i don't know
2:03
if this is a new thing or not but they now have a speed camera along my route and it flashed not
2:09
for me i don't think because the guy that was to the left of me was going easily five miles an hour
2:15
faster than me but it made me worried that i'm gonna still somehow be collateral damage in this
2:23
speed camera thing like like because i flashed right when i was next to that guy who was going
2:29
much faster than me and so like i saw the flash too but it couldn't have been for me i was only
2:34
going like seven eight miles over the speed limit he was going like 13 14 over the speed limit maybe
2:40
it's for both of you could is it possible no i think they have to pick one okay yeah but then
2:47
like but i'm also like i was closer to the camera too so what if they're like ah this one's fine
2:51
like easier to photograph yeah exactly good old five over yeah and you can get a clear picture of
2:57
you since you're going slower i know oh i think it's just for show i don't think they actually
3:02
send tickets okay i guess we'll find out in like six weeks you should go back and go faster
3:08
okay or i'll just have you drive i'll wear one of those goggles that has a mustache on not goggles
3:17
i was thinking glasses yeah is that what they called yeah is that what they called
3:21
yeah what do you think uh that sounds good to me just as long as i don't have to pay for a ticket
3:27
that's really the only thing that i'm worried about um this is not legal advice okay i'm gonna
3:35
take it as such though.
3:36
But I'm off the hook now.
3:38
Okay.
3:39
But I heard that they have to serve you.
3:41
Like they have to physically.
3:43
Yeah.
3:43
So if you never pay the ticket,
3:44
hypothetically,
3:45
not advising this,
3:47
they would have to dispatch someone to serve you.
3:49
And if they never serve you.
3:51
Okay.
3:52
Because other people will just pay.
3:54
Yeah.
3:55
I probably would have done that.
3:57
Yeah.
3:57
Again,
3:58
I say.
3:59
This is 100% legal advice.
4:01
Got it.
4:02
From the lawyer,
4:03
Francis J.D.
4:05
okay well I just wanted to say that I'm putting it out there in the universe like I didn't tell
4:14
Dan because I would be worried that he would be afraid of it because he's annoying like that but
4:18
I have to tell you something now okay so when I was younger a friend of mine got one of those
4:22
speaking tickets and the picture they sent in the mail was her popping a z
4:28
popping a z you know was it oh i was like is this code for something that i don't know about i guess
4:38
it was yeah it was yeah but it was like a close-up like in the mirror yeah like two finger
4:44
pinching while she was speeding she is wow yeah she's talented yeah i think it was a red light
4:49
cam actually oh okay that makes more sense uh also those are like always the worst possible
4:59
pictures uh like you look doesn't matter who you are you look terrible it makes me think like
5:04
is everyone just at their ugliest when they drive that sound like a carrie brashaw take
5:10
made me wonder yeah yeah i'm probably i i would say i'm ugliest when i'm
5:17
turned to the side like i've seen some pictures taken of me and i'll show you one later it's like
5:25
grotesque okay just just not head on you mean right just like it's like one of those pictures
5:32
where it's like is it a goblet or is it a witch as soon as i turn it's i'll show you is it a duck
5:39
or a rabbit.
5:40
Yeah.
5:41
Exactly.
5:43
Speaking of ducks and rabbits,
5:44
yeah.
5:44
Chinese Zodiac.
5:45
What are you?
5:46
I have no idea.
5:47
How do I find that out?
5:49
Google.
5:49
Okay.
5:50
Maybe our producer can work on that
5:51
while we talk.
5:53
I'll tell you right now,
5:54
I am the year of the rabbit.
5:55
Oh, good year.
5:56
I agree.
5:57
There's a band called
5:58
Year of the Rabbit.
5:59
Good band.
5:59
No kidding.
6:00
Yeah.
6:00
I wonder if they're all born in,
6:01
oh, I almost gave it away.
6:04
2001.
6:08
Probably there.
6:09
So young I forgot my birthday.
6:12
Oh, you're still learning.
6:14
I will say November, though, is my birth month.
6:17
Okay.
6:18
I think you've still revealed too much.
6:21
November, Latin November.
6:24
Latin November?
6:25
It's different than the month.
6:27
You were born in the year of the dog.
6:29
Ooh.
6:31
I'm a dog.
6:33
That's cool.
6:33
Dogs are loyal.
6:35
Okay, cool.
6:36
Some of them.
6:39
Yeah, some.
6:40
You sound so genius.
6:42
I mean, I've heard.
6:43
Dogs usually, my dogs always love me.
6:46
But like, for example, my dad.
6:48
Like, if I come home, my dog will leave him and come to me.
6:50
So, to me, she's loyal.
6:52
Yeah.
6:52
But from his perspective, it's hot and our dog hates me.
7:00
All right.
7:02
Quick interruption.
7:03
Every week on the podcast, we do something where our producer Joe gives Francis and I each our own secret word.
7:13
Throughout the course of the podcast, we need to find a way to slip the secret word into our conversation without the other person noticing.
7:22
If the other person can correctly guess the secret word, they get a point.
7:27
And right before we die, we add up all the points.
7:30
and then we get a prize whoever has the most points for guessing the most secret words
7:36
here's joe with today's secret words jenna's secret word is massaged francis's secret word is
7:46
shrinkage back to the podcast uh well how about uh we get to the invention of the week
7:53
inventions
7:56
Yes, sugar crush.
8:07
Alright.
8:08
You want me to take it away?
8:09
Lay it on me.
8:10
You're going to love this.
8:11
For those who don know Francis is an inventor extraordinaire He constantly coming up with amazing ideas I do Yeah So here but another amazing idea
8:24
I'm sorry.
8:25
I was just thinking but another sounded like,
8:27
like here's but another.
8:30
I don't know.
8:31
It sounds like an invention that you would come up with.
8:33
Yeah.
8:33
So just to give the audience a little background,
8:35
I strongly identify with Rick Moranis' character in Honey,
8:39
I Shrunk the Kids.
8:40
I could have done that.
8:42
So we won't go into all my other inventions,
8:44
but here's one that I thought of very recently,
8:46
and I'm so excited about it.
8:48
On the top of your car, okay,
8:52
it's like in a bag.
8:55
Just bear with me.
8:56
It's hard to explain because you're not in my head.
8:58
When you park, you can unzip it,
9:00
and it unfolds.
9:01
It's an umbrella for the car,
9:02
and legs come out,
9:04
and there's these little magnetic feet
9:05
that you put on the trunk and the hood
9:07
that the legs go into.
9:08
so your whole car is shaded.
9:13
So it's like a tent.
9:14
It's a tent for your car.
9:15
A tent for your car.
9:16
For when you're parking and it's hot.
9:19
Okay.
9:19
And so it lives on the top of the car.
9:22
Yeah.
9:22
Sleekly.
9:24
Okay.
9:27
It'll look like a little bullet or something on top of the car.
9:29
Exactly, yeah.
9:31
And then you press a button and it like...
9:34
My dad wanted this to be electronic too.
9:36
I was picturing a manual thing, but...
9:38
Then you're in the sun, you're doing a lot of work.
9:41
Well, because I was thinking those magnetic feet, you would put them on.
9:44
But I guess people wouldn't want to do that every time.
9:46
So, okay, I'm willing to.
9:48
So 2.0.
9:50
We're already at a beta.
9:51
Yeah, we'll push the button.
9:53
The umbrella will come out and the legs will come out and they will go onto the feet holes.
9:59
Okay.
10:01
All right.
10:03
I can see this.
10:05
I can see this being popular.
10:07
What is the tent made out of?
10:10
Like what actually shades like.
10:12
It is made of umbrella.
10:16
It's 100% umbrella.
10:18
Yes.
10:19
Dolphin safe umbrella.
10:22
Okay.
10:23
And then like, would you like sell designs too?
10:26
Of course.
10:27
Yeah.
10:27
Yeah.
10:27
Because buildings are tall and they have windows.
10:30
And if you look down, you want to see.
10:32
I didn't even think about it like that.
10:33
Yeah.
10:33
We'll do partnerships too.
10:35
Yes, of course.
10:36
Yeah.
10:36
Rocco's Modern Life
10:39
you know like the
10:40
swirlies
10:42
and the triangles
10:44
that was the first partnership
10:46
that you wanted
10:47
get the guys from Rocco's Modern Life on the phone
10:51
now
10:51
yeah they gotta be looking for a comeback
10:53
also
10:55
straight up
10:56
would you invest
10:58
um
11:00
ooh okay
11:01
the rating system for the inventions
11:04
yeah don't worry about profit
11:06
Don't worry about shrinkage.
11:07
None of that.
11:08
Just straight up.
11:08
What's the price point on this?
11:11
The price point is $82.
11:17
Oh, okay.
11:19
But keep in mind, your car gets hot.
11:22
Yeah, that's true.
11:23
And we could run sales.
11:27
Did you just invent sales, too?
11:29
Cool.
11:30
Got to take advantage.
11:31
What would you pay?
11:34
I don't know.
11:35
I got to be honest.
11:36
I'm skeptical it would actually like other than keeping.
11:39
Okay.
11:40
I'm sorry,
11:41
Francis.
11:42
Okay.
11:42
But they have like window shields right now.
11:43
Right.
11:44
It's not enough,
11:45
but yeah.
11:45
Okay.
11:46
Well,
11:46
that's what I want to know.
11:47
So like what,
11:47
so you're just keeping the trunk and the hood.
11:50
It goes over the entire vehicle.
11:51
So that it actually helps be keeping the top covered actually helps keep the
11:57
inside of the car.
12:00
Yeah.
12:00
Cool.
12:00
What I would call baby safe.
12:02
Oh,
12:03
so you could leave your baby in the car.
12:04
You didn't say that.
12:05
Well, that's the big draw.
12:06
There's no amount I wouldn't pay for this.
12:09
Okay.
12:10
I can keep my child locked in the car.
12:12
Yeah.
12:13
Not a dog, though, just in case.
12:15
Right.
12:17
Well, as someone born in the year of the dog, I understand.
12:22
Okay.
12:22
I would pay $82 for that.
12:26
Okay.
12:26
Thank you.
12:28
I don't know if I'd be an angel investor, though.
12:31
What is an angel investor?
12:32
I think it's somebody that comes in with initial funding for something.
12:39
Like the first round of funding.
12:42
It's like, oh, we need anything to get off the ground.
12:46
You wouldn't give anything?
12:48
Okay.
12:50
I would give something.
12:51
But I mean, I don't know the level to which I'd invest.
12:55
So you wouldn't go on Indiegogo or what's the other one?
13:00
Kickstarter?
13:01
Oh, yeah.
13:01
And pre-order.
13:04
You can get it for $50 because you're in so early.
13:07
Knowing it eventually will be, you know.
13:09
With Rocco's Modern Life or without?
13:11
Of course.
13:12
Those are the limited edition.
13:13
Oh, could I do a Saved by the Bell themed one?
13:17
No.
13:18
No?
13:18
Just Rocco's Modern Life?
13:19
We can't do people.
13:21
Well, no.
13:22
I mean, but Saved by the Bell also has that kind of like swirly, like.
13:25
Oh, okay.
13:26
Yes, then.
13:27
As long as it has swirls and weird graphics, then yes.
13:31
Okay.
13:31
uh all right yes i would i would pre-buy one on kickstarter thank you yeah thank you of course
13:38
for anyone listening visit our website we'll tell you what it is later friendslikeuspod.com
13:44
that was later yep and um there will be a link to
13:49
i guess like car shade sun safe
13:54
later there will be yes at a time tbd i would suggest checking in hourly from here to seven
14:06
to eight years from now i think is the timeline we're looking at thank you i could do that all
14:12
right so you know how i asked you earlier what an angel investor was yeah that reminded me i was
14:17
thinking on the way over here there's a term i've heard i hope it's i hope this is a safe term to
14:21
say and i don't know what it means so i was wondering if you did oh okay oh uh lay it on me
14:27
boof oh like b-o-o-f i don't know i just remember hearing someone say take a boof or boof it
14:37
with zero context i have no idea what this means i can't you know i've never heard that before
14:46
Boof it?
14:47
Boof it.
14:49
Hey, hand me that boof.
14:52
All right, well, we're going to find it later.
14:54
You can't remember where you...
14:56
I feel like it's drugs or something.
14:59
Take a boof.
15:00
It's like such an onomatopoeia type word that it doesn't...
15:05
Oh, like boof.
15:06
Yeah, it doesn't seem like it would be drugs.
15:09
It seems like it would just be like, I don't know,
15:12
like a euphemism for passing gas or something,
15:14
or like, oh, boof, oops, I messed up,
15:18
like that kind of a thing.
15:20
I'm boofy.
15:21
Yeah.
15:23
Okay.
15:23
It doesn't have the teeth that a drug term,
15:27
like popping a Z.
15:28
That sounds like a drug term.
15:30
Popping a Z.
15:31
Yeah.
15:31
We need to invent a drug for that.
15:35
All right.
15:37
Well, let's close up the invention bag.
15:41
That was our invention of the week.
15:43
Okay.
15:43
Zip.
15:44
Good job.
15:46
Go to friendslikeuspod.com and invest.
15:53
We're calling it a donation.
15:57
Because something has to help keep the inventor going.
16:01
Yeah.
16:02
I've got ideas for years.
16:04
Yep.
16:05
But still a finite number.
16:08
So please invest, folks.
16:10
Please donate.
16:11
I feel like
16:14
in the arms of an angel
16:15
should be playing right now
16:16
we can do up to like 10 seconds
16:18
yeah yeah exactly
16:19
we'll add that in in post
16:21
oh my god you know what
16:22
one of my family members died
16:24
a long time ago
16:27
and my cousin Pooh found her
16:30
your cousin Pooh found her
16:31
is this where you heard that term Francis I think that her name oh yeah aunt boof she moved it no what i was gonna say was she pulled up to pick her up for like a day out
16:51
and that song was playing on the radio and she said she had a feeling that she was dead
16:58
and she was. Wow.
17:01
Like, do you think
17:02
she just said that after
17:04
the fact?
17:07
Do you think she was lying?
17:08
She didn't actually have a feeling
17:10
that she kind of like tricked herself
17:12
into thinking that she did feel that?
17:15
Knowing people,
17:16
I never crossed my mind until you suggested it, but
17:18
it's something I would do.
17:20
Like, if I remember in retrospect, like that song
17:22
was playing, I could see myself being like,
17:24
oh, you know what people would love to hear?
17:25
yeah because it's like if like I was like
17:29
rolling up to somebody's house to pick them up
17:31
and like the song is like
17:33
death death death
17:35
everyone's dead
17:37
we're all gonna die
17:39
someday get a feeling it's her
17:41
huh yeah death I'm thinking about
17:43
death right now and then it just coincidentally
17:45
I don't know
17:47
I don't want to call Boof a liar
17:48
do you think she died because that song was playing
17:51
oh did Sarah
17:53
McLaughlin kill your aunt
17:55
can't say for sure yep get her on the phone that stop calling
18:03
uh well francis jd francis jd will be suing you that's right i have a briefcase uh okay
18:15
i think it's time to move on to the big question the question is very big
18:23
I'm ready to hear your big question.
18:27
Oh, okay.
18:28
It's kind of a would you rather.
18:30
Okay.
18:30
All right.
18:33
And I know we already mentioned a baby, so sorry if this is too much baby.
18:37
But my would you rather is, would you rather once a day when you go, if you go somewhere,
18:46
this happens in public, if you go in public, someone points at you loudly and screams,
18:50
that's the lady that shook my baby.
18:59
Or
18:59
every day you stub your pinky toe so hard
19:04
you pass out for five minutes.
19:06
Every day.
19:07
Oh.
19:09
I mean, I feel like this one's a little bit easy, actually.
19:12
You do?
19:12
I do.
19:13
Yeah, I'll take that's the lady that shook my baby.
19:16
500, Alex.
19:18
Yeah.
19:18
I mean,
19:19
I could take that.
19:21
I mean, well, because like if someone just yells that because are they yelling it with like.
19:30
Do they genuinely believe I shook their baby or are they just yelling it?
19:35
Whether or not they believe it's irrelevant because they're doing it with such conviction that people around you automatically believe it.
19:46
OK, let me make this harder.
19:48
Okay.
19:49
Because I feel like you said it was easy.
19:51
Forget the toe.
19:52
Okay.
19:53
This is the lady that shook my baby versus, same scenario,
19:58
that's the lady that left my dog in the car.
20:02
With tears.
20:07
Okay.
20:08
Ooh.
20:09
I think I'm still going to go with baby because I think baby is easier.
20:14
it's like it's a less like it's the situation in which i might leave your dog in the car like
20:24
there's a chance i would have had your dog in my care or whatever and accidentally left it in the
20:29
car or purposefully left it in the car right i think people would be like what went like when
20:34
did the she doesn't seem to know who you are when did she ever get a chance when did you let her
20:39
hold your baby okay and then thank you yeah so i think that would be easier i i can see myself
20:47
like i think if i had that both those situations i i probably it would be easier i could massage the
20:54
the baby one a little bit okay easier well i wish you luck in that scenario okay well what would you
21:03
do well let's go back to the original one one with the with the pinky toe because that was clearly
21:11
you thought that was a difficult decision i don't want to black out i don't either i've never done
21:16
it have you ever blacked out no i don't think i've ever come close i don't think i have either
21:22
and i had like stomach surgery with like no anesthesia eyes open the whole time yeah it was
21:28
a work yeah seriously it was very very painful and i thought now is the time to pass out my brain's
21:33
like nope nope you're gonna feel this even i hate you so yeah i would choose the baby too
21:40
because i would just be like she's nuts yeah yeah i have fired her
21:44
you're supposed to be within 500 feet of me helen
21:47
your baby wouldn't shut up what was i supposed to do
21:53
i thought it was a die like a dice oh
21:58
you shouldn't have dressed your baby up like a martini
22:04
anyway you gave me fries and i wanted a shake too
22:12
all right i have a big question for you now okay all right to be honest i didn't think of anything
22:22
creative so i i'm taking this question from chuck klosterman who does a lot of these like hypothetical
22:30
questions okay um all right so in this question all right you have a person that is genetically
22:37
your clone they look exactly like you uh they have the same levels of intelligence and confidence
22:44
they
22:46
wait what
22:48
this is horrifying already go on
22:50
they desire and fear the same things that you do
22:53
the only difference between you
22:55
and this genetic clone
22:56
is whatever lived life experiences
22:59
they might have because they're off doing
23:01
their thing oh just like twins
23:02
oh uh I haven't
23:05
seen the Danny DeVito and Schwarzenegger one
23:07
yeah they were raised differently
23:08
and I guess this is
23:10
totally different because they
23:12
look different
23:14
but okay go on yeah okay um okay now in this scenario you learn that your genetic clone
23:24
wants to destroy you whether it's because they think you're the evil version of them
23:31
or because you they are the evil version of you doesn't matter they are trying to destroy you
23:39
They want to destroy you.
23:40
In this situation, do you go into hiding?
23:45
Do you try and meet with them and like rationally discuss it and get them to back down?
23:53
Or do you try and destroy them first?
23:58
I have a question.
23:59
Okay.
24:00
Do other people know about this clone?
24:02
Yes.
24:04
Damn.
24:07
I was just going to kill it.
24:09
Oh, okay.
24:10
But now you can't because it's a crime.
24:14
So you think the clone was, like, living,
24:17
and if the clone lived in isolation and no one knew it existed.
24:19
No, this is, like, a whole other,
24:21
just for whatever reason they have the exact same.
24:23
Not a twin, a clone.
24:25
Yes.
24:26
And they want to destroy me.
24:28
Yeah.
24:30
Either, it doesn't matter why,
24:31
either they're evil themselves,
24:33
they're the evil version of you,
24:34
or they think you're the evil version of them,
24:37
and so they're trying to get rid of you first.
24:38
Have you seen Enough, the thriller with Jennifer Lopez?
24:42
Is that the one where she's like the domestic abuse one?
24:45
Yes.
24:46
I feel like I have and I forgot about it.
24:48
Like most of it, except for that she was beaten.
24:51
Okay.
24:51
Well that I remembered the important stuff That was the first half Yeah Anyway I would pull in enough So I would make sure everyone around me knew that this clone was out to get me
25:04
And I'm afraid.
25:06
And then it would come to my modern beach house.
25:12
And I would win the fight.
25:14
Ultimately culminating in the clone's demise.
25:16
But I would get off because...
25:18
It would be self-defense.
25:19
And everyone, you know, I posted it.
25:23
Can you hear me typing?
25:25
Yeah, send.
25:26
Okay.
25:27
So you trick it into thinking that you're scared and don't want it to come try and kill you.
25:34
Right.
25:35
It comes to try and kill you, and then you are...
25:38
Sure as I am a coward.
25:40
I mean, sure as he is a coward, he's going to try to kick me.
25:44
That's from the movie.
25:47
Okay.
25:47
So you're just going to do the plot of Enough.
25:49
yeah all right thank you for asking though yeah you're welcome i guess that was a more detailed
25:57
so you'd kill it but you're telling me how you'd kill well i don't want people to think i'm
26:00
that's just my go-to no no that's good i like that you have a full plan like to get away with it too
26:08
well i don't like the implication of the phrase get away with it i mean you heard what you said
26:13
he's trying to destroy me that's true i'm innocent i know at what point in time does
26:17
self-defense start?
26:20
Like, is it just
26:22
this might be a little
26:24
too deep for the pod. No, I'm a lawyer. Go on.
26:27
Not a lawyer.
26:29
He is a lawyer, 100%.
26:30
Yeah, like it wouldn't
26:34
how close does someone have to be
26:36
to actually killing you before you can
26:38
I think
26:39
that
26:41
you're allowed to do what they did.
26:47
You know?
26:48
Okay.
26:49
So, like, if they have a brass knuckle and they punch you, you can't be like, pa-pow!
26:54
Unless there's other circumstances.
26:58
This is why we need lawyers.
27:00
Thank God you're here.
27:05
Everyone should just not be violent.
27:07
Yeah, for the record, we do not endorse violence on the pod.
27:10
Yeah.
27:12
So, yeah, don't be violent.
27:13
But if your genetic clone is coming for you.
27:17
You're going to have to lay a breadcrumb trail to the beach house.
27:26
Yeah.
27:27
This is an important question.
27:28
Where is your beach house?
27:30
Where would I put my beach house?
27:31
Yes.
27:33
Well, I like how you already have the house and you get to put it wherever you want.
27:37
Yeah, that's what cranes are for.
27:39
A little magnet on top.
27:40
Oh, that's what cranes are for.
27:42
Oh, will you make an industrial shield for cranes to keep cranes nice and cool in the summertime?
27:49
I don't know why I'm like the birds, but now I understand.
27:52
Yeah, we could actually work that out to any mobile device.
27:57
We could put it on your house.
27:59
Okay.
27:59
It'll probably lower your AC costs.
28:01
I feel terrible for...
28:02
We got to reopen the invention of the week.
28:05
Does this invention have a name?
28:07
you know that phrase
28:09
like it's
28:12
101 in the shade
28:14
I thought we could do something with that
28:17
101
28:18
in the shade
28:21
101 in the shade
28:23
alright yes go to
28:25
friendslikeuspod.com to invest in
28:27
101 in the shade
28:28
alright let's close back up the invention of the week
28:30
is it
28:30
what would you do if you're evil Columbus after you
28:34
well see now this sounds boring
28:36
because I think of the three options,
28:37
I probably would try to rationalize with it.
28:42
Oh, I see that that's...
28:43
Well, okay, because...
28:44
That's our producer, everyone.
28:45
His name's Joe.
28:46
Yeah, Joe reacted strongly to the idea that...
28:50
Like, he gave me a face.
28:52
To ration?
28:54
Yeah, just like, what are you, stupid?
28:57
Is that a stupid way to think?
28:59
Well, why do they want to...
29:00
I mean, you have...
29:01
See, okay, so that's the thing.
29:03
If they're genetic...
29:03
So it must be something in their lived experience
29:06
because that's the only difference between us that would make them.
29:10
So then maybe I would try and get some lived experience of my own
29:14
that would make me murderous and then try and kill them.
29:17
See, I still thought you were trying to understand.
29:20
Like, seek first to understand.
29:21
Like, why do you hate me?
29:22
Do you see me turn sideways?
29:25
Yeah.
29:26
Are you secretly a traffic camera that's seen how I really look when I drive?
29:30
I don't know.
29:31
Yeah, maybe I should just try and come up with a good kill situation.
29:36
Would you ever really be convinced that they weren't going to...
29:41
Like it was over?
29:43
Yeah.
29:43
No.
29:44
I mean, it sucks that you can never hang out with your clone.
29:46
I know.
29:48
Although, what if you...
29:49
I feel like if I had hung out with my clone, I would just be like,
29:52
I fucking hate this person.
29:54
No, actually, I have a brilliant idea.
29:57
You send your clone to parties, and you hide behind plants,
30:00
and you see how you do.
30:03
Like how people respond to you.
30:06
Oh, and then while you're hiding behind the plant, too,
30:08
you can also, like, when your clone leaves,
30:10
you can still hear that.
30:12
Exactly.
30:15
This clone just turned into an invention of the week.
30:18
Stay tuned for next week's invention.
30:20
Party clone.
30:21
Home a clone.
30:21
Oh, party clone's way better.
30:24
That's great.
30:26
Go to friendslikeuspod.com to invest in party clone.
30:32
Wow.
30:36
Uh, well, then, then wouldn't you just like send your clone to like, then at what point
30:40
in time are you just like sending your clone to do all the dirty work?
30:44
Maybe that's why they want to kill us.
30:45
I get it now.
30:46
I have it coming.
30:47
That's why they want to.
30:49
That would be good to know though.
30:51
Hmm.
30:52
All right.
30:53
Well, uh, I think, I think we have our answers to the big questions of the week.
30:58
Absolutely.
30:59
The big question.
31:00
Sugar crush.
31:02
uh we do another little fun thing on this uh podcast uh before the pod starts the producer
31:12
joe gives us a word for one of us to keep in mind and secretly say throughout the podcast
31:20
and we try and slip it in i slipped mine in you did yes god everything sounded yes but everything
31:26
sounded a conversation you said you said your word too yeah neither one of us picked up on it
31:31
No, you didn't.
31:32
So you have no idea?
31:34
Do you have a guess what my word was?
31:36
Was it killer?
31:39
No.
31:41
It was massaged.
31:43
Oh, that's a good one.
31:45
Although I think I made it present tense when I said it.
31:48
Oh, I would have known.
31:49
You were talking about the baby shaking.
31:51
Yeah, and I could massage.
31:53
I know, I was trying to figure out how to say that and be,
31:55
I could have massaged it.
31:58
I probably could have done it like that.
31:59
Well, you've been disqualified on the technicality.
32:02
It depends.
32:03
Is your word boof?
32:08
That would have been really brilliant.
32:11
It would have been good.
32:12
Because you didn't even say it.
32:15
I just called it out because it sounded like you said boof.
32:18
Oh, no.
32:20
No, I have no idea what your word was.
32:22
Okay, audience, feel free to go ahead and put it in the chat,
32:25
what you think it was, and I'll give you a couple seconds.
32:28
Super chat is.
32:29
at our website chat.
32:31
And the word was shrinkage.
32:34
Oh.
32:35
Do you remember me saying it?
32:37
No.
32:37
Because I did a great job.
32:39
Yeah.
32:39
Actually, I was impressed.
32:41
In what context did you say shrinkage?
32:43
The invention of the week.
32:44
Yeah, I was talking about the invention
32:45
and I was like,
32:46
would you invest or would you buy it?
32:48
Don't worry about this.
32:48
Don't worry about shrinkage.
32:51
Oh, wow.
32:52
Yeah.
32:52
Very good.
32:53
Okay, we should kiss now.
32:54
that's how we end every podcast uh well thanks for listening folks we have been friends like us
