  Charles: We've got a great show for you.
• 2:05
  Charles: We've got, what do we, what do we got,
• 2:07
  Charles: what do we got tonight?
• 2:08
  Nora: We've got some really great Around the Nets, as usual.
• 2:12
  Charles: Chris took some kind of mental health assessment.
• 2:19
  Chris: It wasn't, if only, no.
• 2:23
  Chris: For my day job, I took a, basically,
• 2:27
  Chris: an assessment to determine how I communicate,
• 2:31
  Chris: which I could have saved him the time, it's poorly.
• 2:33
  Chris: But yeah, we're gonna talk about it.
• 2:36
  Chris: We're gonna talk about the results live.
• 2:38
  Chris: I have not seen it, so we'll all be seeing it
• 2:40
  Chris: for the first time, and I will let the two of you
• 2:43
  Chris: help determine whether this accurately fits
• 2:46
  Chris: my management style.
• 2:48
  Charles: Can you also, maybe we should do this this episode,
• 2:51
  Charles: can you pull up the Rad Czar?
• 2:53
  Nora: (laughing)
• 2:54
  Charles: And we'll just ask Chris some clarifying questions.
• 2:58
  Nora: I can definitely pull up the Rad Czar.
• 3:00
  Charles: Thank you, thank you.
• 3:01
  Charles: I think that that would be, just randomly,
• 3:04
  Charles: just cut and be like, and Chris,
• 3:05
  Charles: how do you, when you go to parties,
• 3:07
  Charles: do you feel overwhelmed?
• 3:10
  Charles: (laughing)
• 3:11
  Chris: While she's doing that, folks,
• 3:12
  Chris: we have a phone number you can call.
• 3:13
  Chris: It's 888-853-VIBE, it's flashing on the screen right now.
• 3:17
  Chris: 888-853-VIBE, call us, leave us a message,
• 3:21
  Chris: tell us what's going on in your life.
• 3:22
  Chris: Maybe we'll play it on the show.
• 3:24
  Chris: Be funny.
• 3:25
  Charles: Tell us what you scored on the rads are.
• 3:27
  Charles: Yeah!
• 3:28
  Charles: Knowing our audience, a lot of you probably have taken it.
• 3:32
  Nora: Mine said that I was 100% likely to be neurodivergent.
• 3:36
  Chris: Oh, just neurodivergent?
• 3:40
  Chris: Only 100%?
• 3:41
  Nora: It was 100%-- it said 100% neurodivergent.
• 3:44
  Charles: The 0% margin of error.
• 3:46
  Charles: Right.
• 3:46
  Nora: Yeah.
• 3:47
  Charles: Well, did you take the actual Radzar?
• 3:49
  Charles: Because it gives you like a point number.
• 3:52
  Charles: And that point number correlates to how autistic you are,
• 3:56
  Charles: potentially.
• 3:56
  Charles: I'm going to go 150s.
• 3:59
  Chris: Wait a second, what is the Rad Czar?
• 4:01
  Charles: Oh, don't worry about it.
• 4:03
  Chris: Oh, okay, great, great.
• 4:05
  Charles: Well, we'll find out before the end of the show,
• 4:10
  Charles: you are going to find out.
• 4:12
  Charles: I'm terrified.
• 4:12
  Charles: What the Rad Czar is.
• 4:14
  Charles: I don't like it already.
• 4:15
  Charles: No, it's gonna be a delight.
• 4:18
  Charles: But we got some great content.
• 4:19
  Charles: We're doing the Chris's Myers-Briggs test.
• 4:25
  Charles: (laughing)
• 4:27
  Charles: What are you in the Myers-Briggs?
• 4:29
  Nora: Well, Myers-Briggs is bullshit,
• 4:30
  Nora: but I'm an INFP because that's what all,
• 4:35
  Nora: general, or an INFJ.
• 4:37
  Nora: INFJ because that's what all autistic women
• 4:39
  Nora: generally are on the Myers-Briggs.
• 4:41
  Charles: I joke 'cause I've never taken Myers-Briggs.
• 4:44
  Charles: I always put, if I ever like say like,
• 4:47
  Charles: 'cause everybody puts their Myers-Briggs
• 4:48
  Charles: in their like profile or dating profile, whatever.
• 4:51
  Charles: I always put like, in my Myers-Briggs is PBNJ.
• 4:55
  Nora: (laughing)
• 4:56
  Charles: And I think I'm so funny.
• 4:58
  Charles: And people will go like, what's PB&J?
• 5:00
  Charles: I've never heard of that in the Myers-Briggs.
• 5:01
  Charles: And I'm like, come on.
• 5:04
  Charles: It's funny.
• 5:05
  Chris: It is funny.
• 5:06
  Chris: I would put, I've never had TMJ in my life.
• 5:09
  Chris: (laughing)
• 5:11
  Charles: So we've got that.
• 5:12
  Charles: We're learning today how to become untraceable
• 5:14
  Charles: on the internet like Nora said.
• 5:16
  Charles: We've got some great stuff in around the net.
• 5:20
  Charles: But before we get into all of that,
• 5:23
  Charles: how are you guys doing this week?
• 5:24
  Charles: What's new, what's happening, what's up, what's going on?
• 5:28
  Nora: Yeah, what's going on with you?
• 5:29
  Charles: Oh, you want me, I asked the question first.
• 5:33
  Charles: But I am first on the list of talking in the-
• 5:36
  Nora: You should probably go first because I'm-
• 5:40
  Charles: So, I've got a lot going on, right?
• 5:43
  Charles: So I'm kind of like, we're halfway through
• 5:45
  Charles: the year at this point.
• 5:48
  Charles: I've been like, getting ready for the best of the year
• 5:51
  Charles: conversation, 'cause that's gonna be coming up here
• 5:53
  Charles: in a few months.
• 5:55
  Charles: I am working on my list of best books.
• 5:58
  Charles: I'm working on best games and best movies
• 6:01
  Charles: that I have seen this year.
• 6:03
  Charles: But I think we'll do the same format that we did last year.
• 6:08
  Charles: Where we all choose a category and we all talk about it.
• 6:12
  Nora: Yeah, I think that's a good idea.
• 6:13
  Charles: That'd be fun.
• 6:14
  Charles: And as long as I get more than 15 minutes this time,
• 6:17
  Charles: I'll be fine.
• 6:19
  Charles: No more than 15 minutes, Charles.
• 6:20
  Nora: Well I think Chris went to 35 last time.
• 6:24
  Nora: So I think we can each, maybe we could,
• 6:28
  Nora: (laughing)
• 6:28
  Nora: I have an idea, wait, wait, I have a good idea.
• 6:30
  Charles: Okay.
• 6:31
  Nora: What if we each took an episode,
• 6:32
  Nora: so then we could have the full amount of time
• 6:35
  Nora: for us to talk about our things.
• 6:37
  Charles: Oh my God, nobody's gonna watch that.
• 6:39
  Charles: That's gonna be miserable.
• 6:40
  Nora: No, but like, no, but one of our main topics
• 6:42
  Nora: for the week could be one of us giving our tops,
• 6:45
  Nora: like our best things of the week.
• 6:46
  Charles: Put it at the end of the episode.
• 6:47
  Charles: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 6:48
  Charles: We can just like, people who wanna like listen to us,
• 6:50
  Charles: Exactly, exactly. - We can just do
• 6:51
  Charles: the top of the month.
• 6:53
  Nora: Right, but then-- - Top month.
• 6:56
  Nora: But then each of us don't feel like we're rushed.
• 6:59
  Nora: Right. - That's really the thing.
• 7:00
  Charles: We get all of our tops in one month,
• 7:03
  Charles: all of the bottoms are the next month.
• 7:05
  Charles: I was gonna say, when is bottoms month, Charles?
• 7:07
  Charles: (laughing)
• 7:09
  Charles: So yeah, so I'm kinda working on that.
• 7:13
  Charles: There are some really awesome games
• 7:16
  Charles: that I'm probably, next week or the week after,
• 7:17
  Charles: I'm gonna bring to you guys,
• 7:18
  Charles: 'cause I think there's some cool stuff
• 7:21
  Charles: that nobody's talking about
• 7:22
  Charles: that I want you guys to check out.
• 7:24
  Nora: I have an Xbox.
• 7:25
  Charles: You have an Xbox now?
• 7:26
  Nora: Yeah.
• 7:27
  Charles: Look at you.
• 7:28
  Charles: Like one of the new Xboxes?
• 7:29
  Nora: What are the old Xboxes?
• 7:30
  Charles: Like the original Xbox.
• 7:32
  Charles: Am I supposed to recommend-
• 7:33
  Nora: The Black Friday 360?
• 7:35
  Charles: I feel like if you have a Xbox 360,
• 7:38
  Charles: I can recommend you some games.
• 7:41
  Charles: They're a little outdated.
• 7:43
  Charles: (laughing)
• 7:44
  Chris: Though honestly, if you have a working Xbox 360 in 2026,
• 7:47
  Chris: You have won the video game lottery
• 7:50
  Chris: because so many of those died the red ring of death.
• 7:53
  Chris: So the fact that you have a working one
• 7:55
  Chris: is pretty impressive.
• 7:56
  Nora: I haven't turned it on, but I have it.
• 7:58
  Nora: 'Cause I was like, I should probably
• 8:02
  Nora: get a video game console.
• 8:04
  Nora: But the only console-
• 8:05
  Charles: Where did you get it?
• 8:06
  Nora: From my roommate.
• 8:07
  Charles: Oh, so you just, like your roommate has an Xbox
• 8:10
  Charles: and you kind of-
• 8:10
  Nora: She was like, do you want it?
• 8:11
  Nora: And I was like, yeah, I'll take it.
• 8:12
  Charles: I thought she went on some quest
• 8:13
  Charles: to buy a 20 year old console.
• 8:16
  Nora: It was just in my house.
• 8:17
  Charles: I just found myself in this little mom and pop game store
• 8:21
  Charles: randomly.
• 8:22
  Charles: I was going to go to Joanne's.
• 8:26
  Nora: Rest in peace.
• 8:28
  Charles: No Joanne's.
• 8:31
  Charles: But also next week, I'm bringing us all
• 8:34
  Charles: a tasty little treat that I'm really excited for.
• 8:37
  Charles: Chris, you can share my screen.
• 8:40
  Charles: We've got dill pickle flavored liquid IV
• 8:46
  Charles: that we're bringing to the show this next week.
• 8:48
  Charles: Grillo's pickles specifically.
• 8:49
  Nora: I wonder how sweet it is.
• 8:52
  Nora: I'm curious to that.
• 8:53
  Chris: Well, it does say, if you go back to the last slide,
• 8:55
  Chris: it says it's a savory.
• 8:58
  Nora: Yeah.
• 9:00
  Nora: I mean, it says it's a touch of sweetness.
• 9:01
  Chris: That first slide.
• 9:02
  Nora: So, you know, we'll see.
• 9:04
  Chris: A savory fusion of vinegar, cucumber, dill,
• 9:06
  Chris: and a touch of sweetness.
• 9:07
  Nora: So, I mean, pickles do have sugar in them.
• 9:09
  Charles: As long as it's, it says it's dill,
• 9:11
  Charles: as long as it's dill and not like the fucking butter pickles,
• 9:15
  Nora: Those are so bad. - Hater.
• 9:17
  Nora: You're such a hater.
• 9:18
  Nora: Those are disgusting. - They're so good.
• 9:20
  Charles: They're not good with anything.
• 9:22
  Charles: What's wrong with butter pickles, Charles?
• 9:23
  Nora: They're really good on a pulled pork sandwich.
• 9:26
  Nora: Really good on a pulled pork sandwich.
• 9:28
  Charles: It's better to have a dill pickle
• 9:29
  Charles: on a pulled pork sandwich.
• 9:32
  Charles: The acidity is so much nicer
• 9:34
  Charles: than the weird shit that you get with those
• 9:38
  Charles: like funky ass pickles. - Wait, so Charles,
• 9:40
  Chris: before we went live, you and Nora overrode me two to one
• 9:44
  Chris: on some bullshit we'll talk about later.
• 9:47
  Chris: We're overruling you now, two to one, on butter pickles.
• 9:51
  Nora: Bread and butter pickles are fantastic.
• 9:54
  Chris: I don't-
• 9:55
  Nora: Homemade bread and butter pickles.
• 9:56
  Nora: I don't, I mean, I did eat an entire jar
• 9:59
  Nora: of bread and butter pickles already this summer.
• 10:01
  Chris: And if you disagree with that, you can go-
• 10:04
  Nora: (laughing)
• 10:07
  Nora: I legitimately-- - Go fuck yourself!
• 10:09
  Nora: (laughing)
• 10:11
  Nora: I have eaten a whole jar of bread
• 10:12
  Nora: I'm eating butter pickles this summer.
• 10:15
  Charles: That's disgusting.
• 10:17
  Charles: I like them.
• 10:18
  Charles: To be fair, I do have a grillos pickles,
• 10:22
  Charles: the dill pickle, the little sliced ones
• 10:25
  Charles: that you can get from Costco in my fridge right now
• 10:28
  Charles: that I've been just like snacking on.
• 10:29
  Nora: Pickles are great.
• 10:30
  Charles: I love pickles.
• 10:31
  Nora: There was one time I had some spicy pickled grillos
• 10:35
  Nora: and I was eating the pickles and then I rubbed my eye
• 10:38
  Nora: and I was like, oh my God, why is my eye on fire?
• 10:40
  Nora: And it's 'cause I ate spicy pickles with my fingers.
• 10:42
  Charles: That's what happens when you put spicy food in your eyes.
• 10:44
  Nora: Yeah, I do know about that.
• 10:46
  Charles: Yeah, they talk about that
• 10:47
  Charles: in every single episode of Hot Ones.
• 10:48
  Charles: (laughing)
• 10:49
  Charles: Yeah, don't rub your eyes, don't rub your eyes.
• 10:52
  Nora: I am aware, I'm just dumb.
• 10:55
  Chris: Speaking of Hot Ones, y'all, my birthday is next week.
• 10:58
  Chris: You are a hot one.
• 11:00
  Chris: You're a hot one too, buddy.
• 11:02
  Chris: But I think that at some point soon,
• 11:04
  Chris: we should do the Hot Ones episode.
• 11:07
  Chris: Wait, I know I said that we should do
• 11:10
  Chris: something else next week.
• 11:12
  Chris: Not necessarily, we don't necessarily have to do
• 11:14
  Chris: the hot ones next week, but sometime soon,
• 11:17
  Chris: I think we should.
• 11:19
  Chris: We should find some sort of milestone to celebrate.
• 11:23
  Charles: I feel like your birthday is a pretty good milestone.
• 11:26
  Charles: Agreed.
• 11:26
  Charles: And honestly, Chris, I hear you about wanting
• 11:29
  Charles: to do it as a prerecord.
• 11:31
  Charles: I still think we should do it live.
• 11:33
  Charles: Because the live energy is so much different
• 11:36
  Charles: than a cut up video.
• 11:38
  Nora: I could bring my knitting.
• 11:40
  Nora: I'll sit here and knit.
• 11:43
  Nora: I don't know if that'll help.
• 11:44
  Chris: We'll just have a knitting cam cut over the door.
• 11:47
  Nora: 'Cause I'm not gonna try any of the wings,
• 11:49
  Nora: but I'll keep myself busy and occupied
• 11:51
  Nora: and so I can comment on things.
• 11:52
  Charles: Or, hear me out, Chris,
• 11:54
  Charles: Nora runs in the back and runs the show.
• 11:58
  Charles: Yeah, that's gonna go well.
• 11:59
  Nora: Mandy, I need Mandy.
• 12:01
  Charles: But if we're doing the hot ones, that one segment,
• 12:04
  Charles: we can keep the camera just on you and me.
• 12:07
  Chris: Right, except that my vision for the Hot Ones segment
• 12:10
  Chris: is that we mimic the actual show as much as possible,
• 12:14
  Chris: which will mean we need to have multiple cameras,
• 12:19
  Chris: a wide shot, and then probably one on me.
• 12:23
  Chris: So we'll have to live cut.
• 12:25
  Chris: That's so much work.
• 12:26
  Chris: I know, but we gotta do it,
• 12:28
  Chris: and you've gotta wear a bald cap.
• 12:31
  Chris: You've gotta do your research.
• 12:32
  Chris: You've gotta be able to ask me deeply personal questions
• 12:37
  Chris: that you have somehow found something about on the internet.
• 12:40
  Chris: Like, we've gotta make this real, Charles,
• 12:42
  Charles: if it's gonna be fun.
• 12:43
  Charles: Or we just try the sauces and die.
• 12:48
  Charles: Then that's comedy gold.
• 12:50
  Charles: I can ask you questions that pertain to your life.
• 12:55
  Charles: I can reach out to your partner and be like,
• 12:58
  Charles: tell me all the Chris secrets.
• 13:01
  Nora: Speaking of, Chris, would you rather go out to eat in a restaurant by yourself rather
• 13:07
  Nora: than with someone that you know?
• 13:09
  Chris: I am not taking your test.
• 13:11
  Chris: Not doing it.
• 13:12
  Chris: No.
• 13:13
  Charles: We're prepping.
• 13:13
  Charles: It's just a survey.
• 13:14
  Charles: This is just us prepping for...
• 13:18
  Charles: That's a lie.
• 13:19
  Charles: This is just us prepping for the hot one.
• 13:21
  Charles: It is.
• 13:22
  Charles: For legal reasons, that's a lie.
• 13:25
  Charles: But no, no, no, for real.
• 13:28
  Nora: Do you prefer going out to eat at a restaurant by yourself or with your friend?
• 13:32
  Chris: It's always more fun with other people.
• 13:34
  Chris: Okay, cool.
• 13:35
  Chris: Always fun with more people.
• 13:37
  Charles: Interesting.
• 13:38
  Charles: Interesting.
• 13:39
  Charles: I may be wrong about how I feel about this.
• 13:42
  Charles: I may come out on the wrong side of history here, folks.
• 13:46
  Nora: I honestly think he's a little more neurotypical than we expect.
• 13:49
  Charles: This is interesting.
• 13:50
  Nora: Chris, don't listen.
• 13:51
  Nora: We're having a conversation.
• 13:52
  Nora: We are more neurotypical than he is.
• 13:53
  Chris: No problem.
• 13:54
  Chris: I just won't listen to the audio that's going out live through the headphones.
• 13:57
  Nora: He has the hyper fixations that, you know,
• 14:01
  Nora: Right.
• 14:01
  Nora: That a neurodivergent,
• 14:02
  Nora: Chris, stop listening, stop listening.
• 14:04
  Nora: Stop.
• 14:05
  Nora: (laughing)
• 14:05
  Nora: A neurotypical person just like doesn't
• 14:08
  Nora: fixate on things, you know?
• 14:10
  Charles: Right.
• 14:10
  Nora: So I just, there's a lot of,
• 14:12
  Nora: I mean, we have more questions.
• 14:13
  Charles: We have more questions.
• 14:14
  Nora: We're gonna ask more questions.
• 14:15
  Nora: Yeah, yeah, yeah, so.
• 14:17
  Nora: Anyway.
• 14:17
  Charles: So what about you guys?
• 14:18
  Charles: What's going on?
• 14:21
  Chris: I have been working on a project
• 14:24
  Chris: and dealing with some controversy
• 14:26
  Chris: that I can't really talk about.
• 14:28
  Chris: So my anecdotes mostly look like this.
• 14:33
  Nora: (laughing)
• 14:36
  Chris: Back to you.
• 14:39
  Charles: How about this?
• 14:40
  Charles: My anecdote is similar.
• 14:42
  Charles: I don't work for that company.
• 14:44
  Charles: Yes.
• 14:44
  Charles: I could tell a grand story of something like-
• 14:48
  Charles: Hypothetically.
• 14:49
  Charles: A hypothetical scenario that may or may not have happened
• 14:56
  Charles: make it loosely based off of what you told us.
• 15:00
  Chris: You certainly could do that, Charles.
• 15:03
  Chris: You want me to?
• 15:04
  Chris: If you like.
• 15:05
  Nora: A long, long time ago in a galaxy far away.
• 15:07
  Charles: Okay, so-
• 15:10
  Nora: There was this movie company-
• 15:11
  Charles: Okay, no, no, no, we're gonna do it this way.
• 15:13
  Charles: Nora and I actually just made a movie.
• 15:16
  Charles: Yeah, we did!
• 15:17
  Charles: Yes!
• 15:17
  Charles: And here's the thing, Nora and I made a movie,
• 15:22
  Charles: and it is a sequel to a very popular,
• 15:27
  Charles: indie film.
• 15:29
  Nora: Indie comedy work?
• 15:31
  Charles: Yeah, core comedy.
• 15:34
  Charles: And we got some, I like how we're making ourselves
• 15:38
  Charles: the directors. - Late additions.
• 15:39
  Charles: Yeah, so no, we decided we wanted to be the directors,
• 15:43
  Charles: we wanted full say in everything that we do
• 15:46
  Charles: for this production.
• 15:47
  Charles: Hello, second camera.
• 15:49
  Charles: (laughing)
• 15:50
  Charles: And during this process, we decided we wanted to be auteurs.
• 15:55
  Charles: tours. We wanted to create the best possible film that Nora and myself wanted to do.
• 16:02
  Nora: And that means we maybe had to go off script.
• 16:06
  Charles: Go off script a little bit.
• 16:07
  Nora: Like maybe the company didn't approve the changes that we made
• 16:11
  Nora: and maybe we didn't give those changes to them until like a couple days before the premiere.
• 16:16
  Nora: But like it's our movie and we're really excited about the art that we're putting out there.
• 16:21
  Charles: What kind of art did we put into this movie, Nora?
• 16:25
  Nora: Some of the most obscene stuff that you might have,
• 16:28
  Nora: that you can imagine.
• 16:28
  Charles: But it's art, it makes you feel something.
• 16:31
  Charles: Like somebody-- - Pooping on Bible?
• 16:33
  Charles: Somebody pooping, actually pooping on a Bible
• 16:37
  Charles: and having it on film.
• 16:39
  Nora: Yeah.
• 16:40
  Nora: So like we love this movie, we're passionate about it,
• 16:44
  Nora: but we didn't, but there-
• 16:46
  Charles: Right, and in this scenario, right, because it's us.
• 16:50
  Charles: It is us. - It's us.
• 16:52
  Charles: The company that we sent this to are just being queer phobic against us.
• 16:57
  Charles: Yeah, and fascist.
• 16:58
  Charles: Yeah, they're fascist.
• 16:59
  Charles: Racist.
• 16:59
  Charles: Yeah, who doesn't want to see this art?
• 17:03
  Nora: They're silencing this art.
• 17:06
  Charles: How do you feel about what we just told you, Chris, about the movie that we just made?
• 17:13
  Chris: I think that sounds like a dilly of a pickle.
• 17:17
  Chris: It really does.
• 17:18
  Chris: I think I fully support the art that you and Nora
• 17:23
  Chris: want to make, but you also have to accept
• 17:26
  Chris: that most people are not going to,
• 17:29
  Chris: and if you are, in theory, if you were paid money
• 17:35
  Chris: to create this art-- - Hypothetically.
• 17:38
  Chris: Hypothetically, yes, then you would have to accept
• 17:48
  Chris: may not necessarily completely qualify
• 17:52
  Chris: the art you want to make.
• 17:54
  Nora: 'Cause I think the thing that we might have forgotten
• 17:57
  Nora: is that the producer has the final say.
• 18:02
  Chris: That's true.
• 18:03
  Chris: You know, when, you know, just like,
• 18:05
  Chris: just like any other job,
• 18:07
  Chris: when you are hired to do a job, hypothetically,
• 18:11
  Chris: the person hiring you,
• 18:13
  Chris: the person that is paying you to do the job
• 18:17
  Chris: has the authority over the output that you create.
• 18:23
  Chris: As personal and as artistic as it may be
• 18:26
  Chris: to your psyche and your wellbeing,
• 18:29
  Chris: at the end of the day, you are working for someone else.
• 18:32
  Chris: And if you don't adhere to that,
• 18:37
  Chris: sometimes that can be a problem.
• 18:39
  Chris: Well, it's our movie and you're silencing us.
• 18:41
  Charles: But come on, I just wanted to show somebody
• 18:45
  Charles: just pooping on a Bible.
• 18:48
  Charles: It's art, it means something.
• 18:51
  Charles: It's how I feel about religion in general
• 18:55
  Charles: and I wanna share how I feel
• 18:57
  Charles: in the most graphic thing
• 18:59
  Charles: that I possibly could put out there.
• 19:01
  Charles: If I watched that, honestly, if I saw that,
• 19:04
  Charles: I would be yarfing so hard.
• 19:06
  Charles: I would just be like, (growls)
• 19:09
  Charles: Yes, if you saw this hypothetical thing
• 19:11
  Charles: that doesn't exist. - Hypothetical, right.
• 19:12
  Charles: Chris, did you watch this?
• 19:14
  Charles: (laughing)
• 19:18
  Nora: Yeah.
• 19:19
  Charles: Oh, I'm so sorry for your loss.
• 19:21
  Nora: Not hypothetically, I unfortunately have been watching
• 19:24
  Nora: the whole side of YouTube history of bad YouTubers.
• 19:30
  Charles: Okay, who specifically?
• 19:31
  Charles: Let's talk about it, because I think that we can talk about-
• 19:33
  Nora: Chris Chan.
• 19:34
  Chris: Okay.
• 19:35
  Chris: Okay, for those uninitiated, like me,
• 19:38
  Chris: in as short as possible, who is Chris Chan
• 19:42
  Chris: and why are they the worst?
• 19:43
  Nora: Chris Chan is the first internet lol cow.
• 19:49
  Chris: What is a lol cow?
• 19:50
  Nora: A lol cow is somebody that the internet makes fun of
• 19:53
  Nora: for them being themselves.
• 19:55
  Nora: They're an autistic person out of Virginia.
• 19:59
  Charles: And really-- - Trans.
• 20:00
  Nora: Trans, yep.
• 20:03
  Nora: And they love Sonic and Pikachu
• 20:07
  Nora: and made a character named Sonichu.
• 20:09
  Nora: And because of their autism,
• 20:11
  Nora: they were very easy to take advantage of on the internet,
• 20:13
  Nora: and then also they made some questionable choices.
• 20:17
  Nora: And there is 20 plus, 26 years of lore about this person,
• 20:24
  Nora: and I'm watching the complete history
• 20:26
  Nora: of Chris Chan on YouTube,
• 20:28
  Nora: and each episode is like 45 minutes long,
• 20:31
  Nora: and I'm on episode 10, and I have to finish it,
• 20:35
  Nora: I need to know.
• 20:36
  Charles: Do you know what happened with Chris Chan's mother?
• 20:39
  Nora: No.
• 20:40
  Charles: I won't spoil it for you.
• 20:42
  Nora: Kind of, I think I knew of it.
• 20:44
  Nora: I just need to know how this person got to where they are,
• 20:48
  Nora: and I'm not enjoying any of it.
• 20:50
  Nora: It's rough, it's brutal.
• 20:52
  Charles: This is great.
• 20:53
  Nora: It's rough.
• 20:54
  Charles: We're talking, this is awesome show right now.
• 20:59
  Nora: Really compelling vibe check.
• 21:00
  Nora: And then the other one that I watched was EDP 445,
• 21:03
  Nora: which this guy Mike, Mike Chun, Mike something,
• 21:08
  Nora: just made a documentary this week and released,
• 21:12
  Nora: Mike Klum is his name, just released a documentary
• 21:15
  Nora: about EDP 445 and he's just basically a pedophile.
• 21:19
  Nora: So, things are just like really dark.
• 21:23
  Chris: Cool, you know what, let's go around the net.
• 21:26
  Chris: (laughing)
• 21:35
  Charles: I feel like I need to recommend some classic
• 21:39
  Charles: YouTube lore videos so that you have
• 21:43
  Charles: something more enjoyable to watch.
• 21:45
  Nora: Probably, to intersperse between.
• 21:47
  Nora: I mean, I love myself a Defunctland.
• 21:49
  Charles: That's a classic comeback. - I love Defunctland.
• 21:50
  Charles: Defunctland is great.
• 21:52
  Nora: Love Defunctland.
• 21:53
  Charles: Have you watched much Hbomberguy?
• 21:56
  Charles: Maybe. - Oh man.
• 21:57
  Nora: I'll have to watch more Hbomberguy.
• 21:59
  Charles: Not really my thing, but. - Cool.
• 22:01
  Nora: You know. - Yep, cool.
• 22:03
  Charles: Chris, what do you watch on YouTube?
• 22:05
  Chris: Um, I watch some true crime stuff.
• 22:08
  Chris: I watch videos about video game history.
• 22:12
  Chris: Ooh.
• 22:13
  Chris: Like, I'm more into watching things
• 22:15
  Chris: about video game history than I am
• 22:16
  Chris: about playing video games, which is weird.
• 22:20
  Nora: Well, I've never been to Disneyland or Disney,
• 22:22
  Nora: well, I went to Disney World when I was nine months old,
• 22:24
  Nora: so it doesn't count, and I love Defunctland, so.
• 22:26
  Chris: Chris, are you familiar with Defunctland?
• 22:28
  Chris: Yes, I've seen several of their videos.
• 22:29
  Chris: They're extremely well done.

  Chris: The first one's actually mine.
• 22:49
  Chris: Yeah.
• 22:49
  Chris: 'Cause I didn't know where to put it in the list.
• 22:51
  Chris: Perfect.
• 22:51
  Chris: So I just put it at the beginning.
• 22:53
  Chris: What happens when a wizard comes to your bachelorette party?
• 22:56
  Chris: Oh.
• 22:58
  Chris: (screaming)
• 23:00
  Chris: (laughing)
• 23:01
  Nora: Am I late?

  Charles: You're just exactly on time.
• 23:06
  Nora: I'm supposed to be early.
• 23:08
  Nora: He arrives precisely when he's meant to.
• 23:11
  Nora: I know what many of you might be thinking.
• 23:13
  Nora: Is Harry at a police con?
• 23:15
  Nora: He's at the door.
• 23:15
  Nora: I could match the drapes.
• 23:18
  Nora: That's precisely the question I'm here to answer.
• 23:22
  Nora: My music, the mashup of "In Dreams"
• 23:26
  Nora: from "Fellowship of the Ring" with "Pony" by Ginuwine.
• 23:31
  Nora: (laughter)

  Nora: (vocalizing)
• 24:24
  Nora: (both laugh)
• 24:34
  Nora: You forgot that it's mixed with pony too.

  Chris: (both laugh)

  Nora: Could be.
• 24:45
  Charles: Did you know that when it snows,

  Nora: Have you heard of the Waterlooly Way Off?
• 27:08
  Chris: No, this is new to me.
• 27:09
  Nora: So this happens, this has happened every year since 2023
• 27:13
  Nora: and the Denver Botanic Gardens started it.
• 27:15
  Nora: And basically they started challenging
• 27:17
  Nora: other botanic gardens to see how much their giant
• 27:20
  Nora: water lily pads can hold.
• 27:22
  Nora: And so, can you, would you be able to pull up
• 27:26
  Nora: the Water Lily Weigh Off website?
• 27:28
  Nora: Because last year, some of them were like,
• 27:31
  Nora: they could hold 185 pounds or more of weight
• 27:35
  Nora: on these lily pads, and it's literally like
• 27:38
  Nora: one of the coolest things ever.
• 27:40
  Nora: So, we'll keep you updated, 'cause the Water Lily Weigh Off
• 27:43
  Nora: is one of my favorite times of the year.
• 27:44
  Nora: but yeah, there's a bunch of information
• 27:48
  Nora: about who the champions were and all of the competitors.
• 27:54
  Charles: This is crazy, it's like from across the world.
• 27:57
  Nora: It's become international.
• 28:00
  Nora: It started out with just-
• 28:01
  Chris: Oh yeah, there's like ones in Norway, England,
• 28:04
  Chris: South Carolina, which is basically its own country.
• 28:10

• 28:25
  Chris: Very cool.
• 28:27
  Nora: All the Anthropocene.
• 28:28
  Charles: This is like how, you know,
• 28:31
  Charles: being somebody who considers themselves non-binary,
• 28:35
  Charles: a lot of those like,
• 28:39
  Charles: subtitles for each of those,
• 28:41
  Charles: or how I kind of like see myself as a person.
• 28:44
  Charles: It's not like a human being.
• 28:45
  Charles: I'm not a man.
• 28:47
  Charles: I am 12 tiny sandbags.
• 28:48
  Nora: Right.
• 28:49
  Nora: It's like how Hello Kitty is three apples tall.
• 28:52
  Charles: Right, exactly.
• 28:53
  Nora: Yeah.
• 28:53
  Nora: Which is a really endearing measurement
• 28:56
  Nora: that the internet has taken over, has embraced fully.
• 28:59
  Charles: As the US Botanic Garden, I am lots of fluff.
• 29:03
  Charles: (laughing)
• 29:05
  Nora: So yeah, I'll keep everyone updated.
• 29:08
  Nora: Show you all some of my favorites.
• 29:10
  Nora: Last year there were some really great entries,
• 29:11
  Nora: and they're just really fun videos too.
• 29:13
  Chris: UCLA one gummy bear
• 29:18
  Nora: That's me
• 29:19
  Charles: 0.003 kilograms. That's not a one gun. That's not me. Okay one gun. Have you ever just eaten one gummy bear satisfying?
• 29:28
  Nora: You're right. I'd be a bag and a half of gummy bears
• 29:35
  Charles: And maybe some gummy worms it's always shocking when you go to that camera like cut back to it, oh

• 30:03
  Nora: and there's just a lot of shock factor
• 30:05
  Nora: going on in this video.
• 30:06
  Nora: So let's just watch this newscast.
• 30:10
  Chris: Probably help if I was ready for it.
• 30:11
  Chris: Okay. - Oh yeah.
• 30:12
  Chris: Oh, that might help. - That might help.
• 30:14
  Video: Oh no, that's not it. - Oh, I was wrong.
• 30:17
  Video: (man)...force that pulled me under.
• 30:19
  Video: I've never felt anything like that, never.
• 30:22
  Video: I thought I got caught in a boat propeller.
• 30:26
  Video: That's a 71-year-old guy. - (man) And I realized
• 30:29
  Video: when I was going under, there was no boat.
• 30:31
  Video: And I knew what it was. I knew it was a great white.
• 30:35
  Video: (reporter) Veteran lifeguard Greg Wilford found himself
• 30:37
  Video: in danger of his own. A great white shark
• 30:41
  Video: pulled the 71 year old underwater.
• 30:44
  Video: It was frightening.
• 30:45
  Video: I'm not gonna lie. - Oh my God.
• 30:46
  Video: He says the shark had yanked on his rescue device
• 30:49
  Video: during routine patrol.
• 30:50
  Video: So I immediately slipped out of the strap on my can
• 30:54
  Video: and swum to the surface as fast as I could.
• 30:57
  Video: And then I just beelined it back to the beach.
• 31:01
  Video: He immediately turned from survivor to lifeguard again,
• 31:04
  Video: closing the beach for an hour
• 31:06
  Video: while the drones took to the sky.
• 31:06
  Video: Good job, you guys.
• 31:07
  Video: And the jet ski scoured the waves searching.
• 31:10
  Video: I was just screaming at people to get out of the water.
• 31:14
  Video: Because I didn't know where that thing was.
• 31:16
  Video: And the threat hasn't disappeared.
• 31:18
  Video: Officials say at least a dozen sharks
• 31:20
  Video: were spotted over the weekend along several Scarborough
• 31:23
  Video: beaches, which they say is unusually high,
• 31:27
  Video: even for this time of year.
• 31:29
  Video: Stay close to shore.
• 31:30
  Video: You don't need to go out into the deep water.
• 31:33
  Video: It's-- you're asking for trouble.
• 31:36
  Charles: Question.
• 31:37
  Charles: Did he fake it?
• 31:39
  Charles: (laughing)
• 31:42
  Chris: I mean. - It only pulled his can.
• 31:44
  Chris: Stranger things have happened.
• 31:46
  Charles: It only pulled his can.
• 31:48
  Nora: Yeah, which is the yellow, the bobber.
• 31:50
  Charles: Yeah, he pulled his bobber, didn't touch him at all.
• 31:55
  Charles: How convenient.
• 31:56
  Nora: How convenient. - Allegedly.
• 31:58
  Nora: Allegedly. - Allegedly.
• 32:00
  Chris: Hypothetically.
• 32:01
  Nora: Well, I mean, sharks are looking for something
• 32:03
  Nora: that tastes good and humans aren't really
• 32:05
  Nora: what they're looking for.
• 32:07
  Nora: So, the thing most-- - And he does not look
• 32:09
  Nora: Tastes good. They mostly do test bites is really what a great wine is gonna do with right you right and
• 32:16
  Nora: Maybe maybe a test bit the can
• 32:20
  Charles: And it was like black. Yeah, but why did it pull him underwater?
• 32:23
  Nora: Yeah, it's good question
• 32:25
  Nora: Good question
• 32:26
  Nora: Hmm, you're suspicious of the I'm suspicious
• 32:30
  Charles: I'm suspicious of the 71 year old lifeguard who does look like dog the bounty hunter
• 32:37
  Chris: He looks like a cross between Dog the Bounty Hunter
• 32:39
  Chris: and Hacksaw Jim Duggan.
• 32:40
  Nora: (laughing)
• 32:42
  Nora: He's just like a true Maina, you know?
• 32:46
  Nora: (laughing)
• 32:48
  Nora: So you don't think it happened?
• 32:50
  Charles: I don't think it happened.
• 32:52
  Charles: Okay.
• 32:54
  Charles: Allegedly.
• 32:54
  Charles: Allegedly, no, I, my personal opinion
• 32:58
  Charles: is that I don't think it happened.
• 33:00
  Charles: My personal opinion.
• 33:01
  Charles: It didn't happen.
• 33:03
  Charles: Cool.
• 33:04
  Charles: My opinion.
• 33:05
  Nora: My opinion.
• 33:06
  Charles: Da, da, da, da, da.
• 33:08
  Nora: This is a dangerous camera to have.
• 33:12
  Charles: I'm gonna strip for this camera
• 33:13
  Charles: before the end of this episode.
• 33:14
  Nora: Yeah, 'cause that's what I said, it's dangerous.
• 33:18
  Nora: Gonna get us demonetized.
• 33:20
  Charles: I am going to show at least one nipple.
• 33:23
  Chris: Then the company will really have to
• 33:25
  Chris: hide your art forever, Charles.
• 33:27
  Chris: It's true.
• 33:29
  Nora: My next one.
• 33:30
  Charles: Okay, after that one, I wanna cut to

  Nora: invading italy via the alps um by hannibal's route um and he is making a an elephant for his toddler
• 33:57
  Video: to ride it's day 81 of invading italy via hannibal barker's 218 bc route through the alps with an
• 34:03
  Video: an elephant puppet structured around a toddler carrier.
• 34:06
  Video: Today we-
• 34:07
  Video: Good job reading that all in one take.
• 34:10
  Video: --took on Colt Hommage, a 2,300 meter alpine pass.
• 34:14
  Video: General Hanna-Baby, in his infinite wisdom,
• 34:16
  Video: decided to spend the day strategizing with Grandma.
• 34:19
  Video: [LAUGHTER]
• 34:19
  Video: --Sgt.
• 34:20
  Video: Tudelu in his stead.
• 34:21
  Nora: He's going to have the kid with him.
• 34:22
  Video: --we started early in the morning, climbing up and up.
• 34:24
  Video: The gradient was relentless.
• 34:26
  Video: Sgt. Tudelu had to sing war songs to keep up morale.
• 34:29
  Video: But eventually, we made it up to the pass
• 34:31
  Video: and were greeted with panoramic views of the Kottian Mountains and even an AWOL soldier left by some other general.
• 34:37
  Video: We were on top of the world.
• 34:39
  Video: And I was thinking of Hannibal's original passage through these high mountains.
• 34:43
  Video: Here he encountered hostile bands of alabroges, who threw rocks down on the army from high ridges.
• 34:48
  Video: They dislodged boulders and ambushed the supply train on narrow paths, sending pack animals tumbling into ravines.
• 34:55
  Video: We encountered very little friction.
• 34:57
  Video: A few mounted scouts, curious sunbathing locals and one group of hollering alabroges, but
• 35:02
  Video: they were too distant to work out their true intent.
• 35:04
  Video: The real trouble came as we descended into the next valley.
• 35:07
  Video: There were streams to cross and rough sloping terrain that made Dido lose her footing.
• 35:12
  Nora: Oh no, the elephant slipped!
• 35:15
  Video: It would be funny if the kid moved.
• 35:17
  Video: Sorry.
• 35:20
  Video: But soon we sighted the Chateau de Queixas on the horizon and knew we were finished for
• 35:24
  Video: the day.
• 35:25
  Video: 18-kilometer march today puts us nearly at the halfway point. So we've won ourselves some time to work on the back legs tomorrow
• 35:31
  Nora: So that's fully fabricated out of like foam and like paint and everything. That's impressive
• 35:36
  Nora: And I'm just like amazed at that puppet like it's just that's eight and a half miles. Uh-huh
• 35:44
  Charles: Uh-huh in that outfit in one day. That's nutty. That's very
• 35:49
  Chris: He's doing some hiking. I mean with all that gear on that's a serious hike
• 35:53
  Charles: Like all that gear on and bring family along with them
• 35:58
  Nora: Uh-huh, but I think his family are kind of meeting him places. So are you really they're just people
• 36:03
  Nora: Yeah
• 36:05
  Nora: But yeah, he completely fabricated it for his hike through the Alps good for him. That's pretty cool
• 36:11
  Nora: Okay, the last one before we go into some of our

  Nora: I'm glad to know that he's still kicking

  Charles: squirrels were good. The squirrels were good. Feeding the squirrels chips ahoy cookies is

  Chris: And he's charging 1499 or 1399 for it.
• 45:28
  Chris: That's fucking wild.
• 45:31
  Nora: And you have to buy all three to be able to know how to make a book.
• 45:36
  Chris: I guess I don't know.
• 45:41
  Chris: Each book, you have to be willing to spend 36 dollars to be able to do this.
• 45:46
  Nora: To know how to make what?
• 45:49
  Charles: Squirrel King Jack writes music.
• 45:52
  Nora: Oh, I'm sure it's a singer, songwriter and dancer.

  Charles: I'm sure it's just as scintillating as his other videos.
• 45:58
  Nora: You're gonna have to bring us some music next week.
• 45:59
  Charles: We have to do some research because the last musician that we found,
• 46:04
  Charles: Evil Reverend Jim, was kind of a banger.
• 46:08
  Nora: And he is now like literally our intro music.
• 46:11

  Charles: Oh my love, my darling.
• 46:35
  Nora: Or Chris will be right, and the voice will be a bit.
• 46:39
  Nora: It'll be-
• 46:40
  Chris: The voice is 100% a bit.
• 46:42
  Chris: Also, check out this review.
• 46:44
  Chris: Perhaps the most important book of the trilogy.
• 46:47
  Chris: There's a trilogy?
• 46:48
  Chris: You missed this.
• 46:49
  Chris: Of this book series.
• 46:51
  Chris: At first I was like,
• 46:52
  Chris: oh, do I really need the second book of the trilogy?
• 46:54
  Chris: Can't I just buy the first and third and be okay with it?
• 46:57
  Chris: Oh boy, what would I have missed
• 47:00
  Chris: if I had made this awful decision?
• 47:01
  Chris: The second book is centered around important details
• 47:04
  Chris: about how to make a hat entirely out of dried cucumber
• 47:06
  Chris: that if you miss it, could ruin your whole experience.
• 47:10
  Chris: 100% would buy again.
• 47:13
  Nora: And the next one says, "I no longer suffer."
• 47:14
  Chris: Yeah, thank you, cucumber book.
• 47:17
  Nora: "I no longer suffer."
• 47:20
  Chris: These are verified purchases, too.
• 47:22
  Chris: That's people who actually spent money on this.
• 47:24
  Chris: These are, assuming, members of his family
• 47:27
  Chris: that actually paid money for it.
• 47:30
  Nora: Or internet people who are in it for the bit,
• 47:32
  Nora: because there's a lot of people who are in it for the bit.
• 47:35
  Chris: Oh, wait, scandalous.
• 47:36
  Chris: It's a joke, literally a joke in book form.
• 47:39
  Chris: He never tells you how to make a cucumber hat.
• 47:42
  Chris: That's the joke.
• 47:45
  Chris: What?
• 47:46
  Nora: I think we need to buy the books now.
• 47:47
  Chris: Which one person found helpful?
• 47:49
  Charles: Should we do this as our next book in the book club?
• 47:52
  Nora: But we need all three of them,
• 47:54
  Nora: like we can't just buy one of them.
• 47:55
  Charles: Is there an audio book version of this for you?
• 47:58
  Chris: What's hilarious is they're only on paperback,
• 48:01
  Chris: there's not even like a Kindle version,
• 48:03
  Chris: like what the hell man?
• 48:04
  Chris: I bet we can find a PDF somewhere.
• 48:06
  Chris: Somebody's gotta scan this.
• 48:08
  Chris: You think somebody spent time
• 48:09
  Chris: to scan the Cucumberhead book?
• 48:12
  Nora: You never know, Chris.
• 48:13
  Nora: You never know.

  Nora: We did not watch these videos before.
• 49:28
  Chris: I told you when you found out
• 49:30
  Chris: that this guy was from Australia,
• 49:31
  Chris: it's a nation of criminals and they are not to be trusted.
• 49:34
  Chris: (Kristen laughs)

  Video: That's how you mop it a trumpet
• 50:08
  Nora: Don't say that! - No!
• 50:10
  Nora: For legal reasons, that's a joke.
• 50:11
  Nora: That's all I've been watching on YouTube, Chris.
• 50:14
  Nora: I just want one good catchphrase, guy.
• 50:18
  Charles: You're a proper little lobster, Chris.

  Chris: This guy's a fucking moron.
• 50:30
  Chris: God, I hate him so much.

  Video: Your porridge and I'm the sausage.
• 50:35
  Video: Use these catchphrases on the daily and it's okay,
• 50:37
  Video: 'Cause I'm just a regular guy.

  Chris: Shut the fuck up, guys.
• 50:50
  Nora: So,

  Nora: Fork will tell you John Park it.
• 50:53
  Charles: Apparently.

  Charles: I will not thank you.
• 50:55
  Charles: Apparently he also has a cameo

  Charles: that I was thinking,
• 51:01
  Charles: select an occasion,

  Charles: it is somebody's birthday.
• 51:05
  Charles: (laughing)

  Charles: This is from Charles.
• 51:14
  Charles: Directions, can you do,

• 51:47
  Chris: How old are you?

  Charles: I'm old enough to know better.

  Chris: I've got people in Australia.
• 52:29
  Chris: Probably.

  Chris: Is that what we're doing?
• 53:47
  Nora: I mean.
• 53:49
  Chris: Yes.
• 53:49
  Nora: We have Mandy who can help with the show,
• 53:51
  Nora: not next week, but the week after.
• 53:52
  Charles: But here's the problem.
• 53:53
  Chris: So what if I walk out right now?
• 53:55
  Charles: Here's the problem, here's the problem.
• 53:57
  Charles: Mandy also hates this guy.
• 53:58
  Nora: Well, I mean, if we're doing it next week
• 54:01
  Nora: for his birthday, then,
• 54:03
  Nora: I mean, Mandy won't be here, but Chris will.
• 54:06
  Charles: Yeah, this is true, this is true.
• 54:08
  Charles: So, okay. - Or will I?
• 54:11
  Charles: Okay, I've gotta do a card.
• 54:14
  Charles: While we do this, can you jump into your next one?
• 54:16
  Charles: Yeah, absolutely.
• 54:17
  Nora: So, all right, my next one is the origami guy.
• 54:23
  Nora: This guy, I don't know how funny it is,
• 54:26
  Nora: but this guy builds crazy shapes out of paper
• 54:30
  Nora: and is pretty fascinating.
• 54:32
  Nora: So we can watch.
• 54:35
  Video: So three weeks on a TikTok.
• 54:37
  Video: I didn't wanna over post
• 54:38
  Video: because my account was getting a lot of traction.
• 54:42
  Video: And now that it's slowing down,
• 54:44
  Video: I'm gonna be putting more videos like this frequently.
• 54:48
  Video: So I'll give you a quick walkthrough of what this piece is
• 54:51
  Video: and then kind of show you
• 54:52
  Video: some of the other ones in this room.
• 54:53
  Nora: This is all paper origami.
• 54:55
  Video: It's all hand folded paper without any adhesive.
• 54:59
  Video: And I've never come across or seen anybody that makes these at this level.
• 55:03
  Chris: Assuming that's true. That's awesome.
• 55:05
  Video: Mm hmm. So this design, it's not my base fold.
• 55:10
  Video: And you're essentially building all of these three sheet pyramids
• 55:13
  Video: and then folding different connectors.
• 55:17
  Video: So I would build each flat section
• 55:21
  Video: separately.
• 55:23
  Chris: So for those listening, this is like five feet tall.
• 55:25
  Chris: It's this large, like, basically, like, you know, trust looking structure, but it's all
• 55:32
  Chris: folded paper, which is pretty impressive.
• 55:34
  Chris: And then connect them through here.
• 55:37
  Video: And you essentially get this really narrow, tall, freestanding sculpture that sits on
• 55:43
  Video: a point.
• 55:44
  Video: And compared to my base fold, a design like this is actually relatively easy to create.
• 55:52
  Video: Here's some other ones that are my base fold
• 55:54
  Video: that I was also doing videos of right now.
• 55:56
  Nora: But those are his base fold.
• 55:57
  Nora: So he's created a fold that looks like this.
• 56:00
  Video: I think that's one of the most intricate ones I have
• 56:04
  Nora: in here, these two in this room.
• 56:06
  Chris: Are there videos of him actually making these?
• 56:09
  Nora: Yeah. - Wow.
• 56:10
  Nora: Like how he folds them.
• 56:11
  Nora: And he did an inside layer and an outside layer on that one.
• 56:13
  Video: Where these entire shelves,
• 56:17
  Video: making one of those pieces takes more time
• 56:19
  Video: than all these combined.
• 56:20
  Nora: Mm-hmm.
• 56:22
  Video: That's wild.
• 56:23
  Video: With that being said though,
• 56:24
  Video: I've also never seen most of these designs anywhere.
• 56:28
  Video: And they're still gonna take six hours, eight hours.
• 56:34
  Nora: Amazing when somebody is good at their craft.
• 56:37
  Video: It's a passion of mine to say the least.
• 56:39
  Nora: He's really good at that.
• 56:41
  Chris: Yeah, that's incredible.
• 56:43
  Chris: 'Cause they look like, I mean, if I didn't know any better,
• 56:46
  Chris: if I didn't know they were paper,
• 56:48
  Chris: I would assume they're like 3D printed sculptures
• 56:50
  Chris: or something like that.
• 56:52
  Chris: So thank you for watching.
• 56:54
  Chris: Yeah, so those are all the little-
• 56:56
  Chris: Very cool.
• 56:57
  Nora: Paper foldies.
• 56:58
  Chris: That almost makes up for a catchphrase guy.
• 57:00
  Nora: Yeah?
• 57:01
  Chris: Almost.
• 57:01
  Nora: Well, you're gonna have a cameo next week.
• 57:03
  Chris: Yeah, exactly.
• 57:03
  Chris: We're gonna do it again next week.
• 57:05
  Chris: It has been paid for.
• 57:07
  Chris: I think I'm gonna get COVID or something next week.
• 57:09
  Nora: (laughing)
• 57:11
  Nora: Explosive diarrhea.
• 57:12
  Charles: Anthony Spry has received a request.
• 57:14
  Nora: Yeah!
• 57:15
  Charles: He has the talent, very specifically,
• 57:18
  Charles: The talent has seven days to complete your request.
• 57:22
  Charles: So by this time-
• 57:23
  Charles: They call everybody that, Charles.
• 57:25
  Charles: Yeah.
• 57:27
  Charles: Have you ever purchased a cameo before, either of you?
• 57:30
  Charles: Only once as a gift.
• 57:32
  Charles: I've done it as a birthday gift too.
• 57:34
  Charles: Honestly, I don't think we needed
• 57:36
  Charles: the 24 hour turnaround time.
• 57:38
  Charles: I don't think we did.
• 57:39
  Charles: Because I think they're usually pretty quick about it.
• 57:41
  Nora: Yeah.
• 57:43
  Nora: I mean, like Chris said, what else does he have to do?
• 57:46
  Charles: This is true.
• 57:47
  Nora: He's a catchphrase guy,
• 57:48
  Nora: needs to go make up catchphrases about Chris.
• 57:50
  Nora: Okay, I wanna skip-- - Or not.
• 57:53
  Nora: I wanna skip the next video,
• 57:54
  Nora: the one about the lady doing her stupid stuff,
• 57:59
  Nora: but we're gonna move to pool choreo.
• 58:01
  Nora: She's moving things with her telekinesis
• 58:03
  Nora: and it's just, it's all aluminum.
• 58:06
  Nora: Anyway, let's go to the pool choreo video
• 58:11
  Nora: where they're doing some synchronized swimming.
• 58:16
  Video: first started doing choreo swim was I think like seven years or in March in

  Video: Not the Olympics that you know of,
• 58:45
  Video: but Olympics spelled differently, the ones that we put on.
• 58:48
  Video: It's Olympics, so it's sort of,
• 58:50
  Video: there's a sexual nature to it.
• 58:52
  Video: Sorry.
• 58:54
  Video: (laughing)
• 58:55
  Video: Donnie and I's favorite move,
• 58:56

• 59:24
  Chris: Wow, okay.
• 59:26

  Video: tangle-free shampoo product that's about freeing shamu called Free Shampoo, but the product itself is not free.
• 1:00:53

  Video: Yeah.
• 1:01:14
  Nora: Quick lift.
• 1:01:15
  Nora: Quick lift.
• 1:01:16
  Video: I'm gonna hold it right here.
• 1:01:17
  Video: Okay, ready?
• 1:01:18
  Nora: (laughing)
• 1:01:22
  Nora: Quick lift.
• 1:01:24
  Nora: (laughing)
• 1:01:28
  Chris: Oh, Lord.
• 1:01:31
  Chris: That was probably twice as long as it needed to be,
• 1:01:33
  Chris: but it was glorious.
• 1:01:35
  Nora: Quick lift?
• 1:01:40
  Nora: I just love pool choreo.
• 1:01:43
  Nora: I think that just like if I had a partner that would be me in the pool.
• 1:01:49
  Nora: So okay, one more and this one is kind of a follow up to the pumpkinista.
• 1:01:55
  Nora: Were you around?
• 1:01:55
  Nora: Did you follow?
• 1:01:57
  Nora: Were you here when we did the pumpkinista?
• 1:01:59
  Nora: There's a lady who she grows giant pumpkins.
• 1:02:02
  Nora: We have a local pumpkin grower.
• 1:02:05
  Nora: His name is the Gordfather and I would like to introduce you to some of his pumpkins.
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 11: It's time for the hump day update.
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 11: We're going to do this in reverse order today, but Medusa is sitting right at a thousand
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 11: pounds on DAP 39, which is the biggest I've had is averaging 58 pounds a day currently.
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 11: Just being a phenomenal pumpkin and we're just hoping everything can keep up and we
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 11: can keep it happy and healthy.
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 11: 58.
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 11: Next up is Hara Harrison at about 700.
• 1:02:35
  Chris: To be fair, according to that caption, it's 58, uh, great British pounds.
• 1:02:40
  Chris: Sterling.
• 1:02:41
  Chris: They didn't check that.
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 11: 25 pounds on DAP 36, uh, which puts her kind of in line with my other
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 11: 2000 pound pumpkins in the state record.
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 11: Uh, this is a great looking pumpkin.
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 11: Great shape.
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 11: I hope she oranges up just a little bit more as the season advances.
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 11: really no complaints just doing really well and of course we want to be
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 11: greedy. He's in Colorado. He's talking about
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 11: last week we have him on the show. About 1300 pounds, 51 days old.
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 11: Unfortunately our growth has started to slow on this and a little faster than we
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 11: would like to see but still averaging about 38
• 1:03:17
  Nora: pounds per day. Whoa! Hopefully that doesn't trail off
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 11: really quickly but we're still excited about all three pumpkins
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 11: Plus it met almost 3,000 pounds combined
• 1:03:29
  Nora: damn
• 1:03:31
  Nora: So those are those are local though. We might see those at the giant pumpkin competition
• 1:03:36
  Chris: How local are they because we should have them on the show. I know right? I don't know exactly
• 1:03:41
  Nora: I think they're up in the mountains a little bit, but uh, they are a colorado grower. Very cool
• 1:03:45
  Nora: So we can skip the next video because it's just talking about a little bit more in depth about some of the more
• 1:03:50
  Nora: some of the other pumpkins
• 1:03:51
  Nora: One of them has uh stopped growing
• 1:03:54
  Nora: But the other two are still growing.
• 1:03:56
  Charles: That's pretty crazy.
• 1:03:57
  Nora: I know, they're ginormous.
• 1:03:59
  Charles: 38 pounds a day?
• 1:04:01
  Nora: Yeah, and the biggest one was gaining 58 pounds a day.
• 1:04:05
  Charles: That's insane.
• 1:04:06
  Nora: Gaining 60 pounds a day.
• 1:04:09
  Nora: Yeah.
• 1:04:10
  Charles: That's wild.
• 1:04:11
  Charles: That's how much weight I gain.
• 1:04:13
  Charles: (laughing)
• 1:04:15
  Nora: Me eating cafe Mexicali every day.
• 1:04:17
  Nora: (laughing)
• 1:04:18
  Nora: Should we?
• 1:04:19
  Nora: That sounds really good.
• 1:04:20
  Nora: We would have to order, they close at nine.
• 1:04:22
  Nora: Ooh. - We have to be careful.
• 1:04:24
  Chris: End the show quick.
• 1:04:25
  Chris: We have 56 minutes, hurry.
• 1:04:28
  Chris: (laughing)
• 1:04:30
  Charles: All right. - So those are my videos.
• 1:04:31
  Charles: So I've got a few sets here.
• 1:04:35
  Charles: This first one, it is political humor,
• 1:04:40
  Charles: but it is pretty funny.
• 1:04:40
  Charles: Okay.
• 1:04:42
  Video: And it seems like people are starting to get
• 1:04:43
  Video: really upset about grocery prices.
• 1:04:45
  Video: Oh, dude, just pull out Old Reliable.
• 1:04:47
  Video: ♪ Good times ♪
• 1:04:49
  Video: (laughing)
• 1:04:49
  Video: Duh, what did I think about that?
• 1:04:51
  Video: God, it seems like different races are starting to really build solidarity.
• 1:04:54
  Video: You know what time it is?
• 1:04:56
  Nora: ♪ Doin' time ♪
• 1:04:57
  Nora: Yeah.
• 1:04:57
  Video: Seems like the people are really not happy about this war.
• 1:05:00
  Video: Do I even have to say it?
• 1:05:01
  Video: ♪ Doin' time ♪
• 1:05:02
  Video: Oh, looks like more evidence came out about the president and underage girls.
• 1:05:06
  Video: ♪ Doin' time ♪
• 1:05:07
  Video: I'm starting to realize how much a billion dollars actually is.
• 1:05:10
  Video: ♪ Doin' time ♪
• 1:05:11
  Video: What is this? I'm kind of bored.
• 1:05:12
  Video: ♪ Doin' time ♪
• 1:05:12
  Video: I just saw a teenager pick up a book.
• 1:05:14
  Video: Actually, you know, I was developing this new manipulation.
• 1:05:16
  Video: Nah, I'm just kidding. Come on.
• 1:05:18
  Video: ♪ Doin' time ♪
• 1:05:20
  Video: (laughing)
• 1:05:22
  Video: It's true.
• 1:05:23
  Nora: It's true.
• 1:05:25
  Charles: And if you're following any of the discourse online
• 1:05:28
  Charles: right now, there's a lot of trans panic.
• 1:05:31
  Charles: And it's-
• 1:05:32
  Charles: All the time.
• 1:05:33
  Charles: It's nonstop trans panic.
• 1:05:35
  Nora: All the time.
• 1:05:36
  Charles: And it feels purposeful, honestly.
• 1:05:39
  Charles: It feels like maybe selling TikTok to an American company
• 1:05:44
  Charles: was not a great idea.
• 1:05:46
  Charles: Maybe somebody who's a big Trump supporter
• 1:05:49
  Charles: The biggest platform in the world is not necessarily
• 1:05:55
  Charles: great for
• 1:05:57
  Charles: Underrepresented communities something like that. Maybe maybe maybe that's the thing
• 1:06:03
  Charles: allegedly
• 1:06:05
  Charles: alleged
• 1:06:10
  Charles: So this next one we don't have to watch the whole thing I just love the the beginning of it this this dude has been
• 1:06:16
  Charles: working on
• 1:06:17
  Charles: building an automatically like aiming and firing recursive bow
• 1:06:23
  Charles: So like you'll hold it in his hands and like the like computer system will see the the target and shoot it
• 1:06:31
  Charles: Which super super cool, right? Yeah, let's watch it
• 1:06:34
  Charles: We don't have to watch the whole thing. All right, cool
• 1:06:39
  Video: In the next 500 milliseconds a lot is going to happen the bow is drawn and ready to fire
• 1:06:44
  Video: I'm pressing this button which tells the computer to fire at will.
• 1:06:48
  Video: The tracking system sends the computer an update on where everything is every three milliseconds.
• 1:06:53
  Video: When the computer sees a target, it checks to see if it's moving in a parabolic motion.
• 1:06:57
  Video: And then it does a tedious little calculation to figure out where it should move the bow to intercept the target,
• 1:07:02
  Video: taking into account the time to move there, release the arrow, reach the target, and the curved path of the arrow.
• 1:07:08
  Video: This takes about a thousandth of a second, and then it starts moving the bow.
• 1:07:12
  Video: And then it repeats this over and over again as more tracking data comes in, which allows
• 1:07:16
  Video: it to adapt for things like the shaking of my hands.
• 1:07:19
  Video: When it thinks it's aiming at just the right point, it waits until the timing is just right...
• 1:07:26
  Video: and then...
• 1:07:27
  Video: completely misses.
• 1:07:29
  Nora: (laughter)
• 1:07:30
  Nora: I'll smack him in the face!
• 1:07:33
  Nora: (laughter)
• 1:07:35
  Video: Um...
• 1:07:36
  Video: So the wife catapult was getting pretty tired of...
• 1:07:40
  Chris: I have seen videos from this guy before
• 1:07:42
  Chris: and his wife is always like part of the joke
• 1:07:46
  Chris: and it's hysterical.
• 1:07:47
  Charles: Oh, I've never seen this guy before
• 1:07:49
  Charles: and I thought this was like the most charming,
• 1:07:52
  Charles: funny thing I've seen in a long time.
• 1:07:54
  Charles: It is very charming.
• 1:07:55
  Chris: He comes up with incredibly convoluted
• 1:07:58
  Chris: technical solutions to problems nobody asked for.
• 1:08:02
  Chris: That's awesome.
• 1:08:02
  Chris: For example, yeah, for example,
• 1:08:04
  Chris: he built something where he can throw a basketball
• 1:08:08
  Chris: from anywhere in the room
• 1:08:10
  Chris: The net will move around to make sure it's swish every time. That's cool. That's so cool
• 1:08:17
  Charles: That's what it's right there. Look so I I watch another guy who's very similar to this concept
• 1:08:22
  Charles: But it's a little bit more chaos. Have you ever heard of Michael Reeves?
• 1:08:26
  Charles: Maybe so, um, so he built a microwave that will only turn on if you're screaming at it
• 1:08:37
  Nora: Maybe one of our maybe one of our themes for one of our shows could be
• 1:08:42
  Nora: Chaotic science. Yeah
• 1:08:44
  Nora: And or unnecessary science because there's some great stuff out there like thinking like Nile red like he's you know, like he's cool
• 1:08:52
  Chris: Yeah, there's a lot of good stuff. It also reminds me do either of you know about Simone yetch? Oh
• 1:08:59
  Chris: Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, maybe she was a basically self-taught robotics engineer who became known as the quote Queen of shitty robots
• 1:09:07
  Chris: and among other things she built like a an
• 1:09:11
  Chris: Alarm clock that was tied to a rubber hand that it was never in the face
• 1:09:15
  Chris: I was literally gonna bring up the same exact one. Yeah
• 1:09:19
  Chris: And now she's like a legitimate inventor making like really cool stuff that's not just as fun not not just silly like that
• 1:09:26
  Chris: But yeah, it's it's I when you asked earlier about some of the stuff I watch on YouTube. It's a lot of that kind of stuff
• 1:09:31
  Charles: That's cool. Chris. Oh real quick
• 1:09:34
  Charles: Do you often use words and phrases for movies in television in conversations? Do you like quote things?
• 1:09:41
  Charles: I'm right on top of that Rose
• 1:09:45
  Charles: True now and I'm guessing true when you were young, correct
• 1:09:49
  Charles: Mm-hmm all over the years. My ass has taken a pounding. No, okay
• 1:09:55
  Charles: I'm often surprised when others tell me I've been rude. How do you feel about that?
• 1:10:00
  Charles: Fuck you I
• 1:10:03
  Charles: Feel like maybe maybe we're getting back into it. I know right? We're getting back into the swing of this
• 1:10:08
  Charles: So actually I do have a question for you before we jump into this. I do need some footage of
• 1:10:13
  Charles: You answering a question for me Chris because it leads into the next bit
• 1:10:18
  Charles: Okay, so let's say there was a murderer who showed up to your house
• 1:10:25
  Charles: Right, you knew that they were a murderer
• 1:10:29
  Charles: How would you deal with that situation? I?
• 1:10:33
  Charles: I would call the police.
• 1:10:35
  Charles: Mm, nice.
• 1:10:37
  Charles: And if you were to, this is a completely separate,
• 1:10:40
  Charles: the separate conversation.
• 1:10:42
  Charles: You were handed four different ice cream cones.
• 1:10:46
  Charles: How would you go about holding them and eating them?
• 1:10:53
  Chris: I think I would pick the one I like the most and eat that.
• 1:10:58
  Nora: And just throw the ice cream.
• 1:10:58
  Chris: No, but you have to hold all four ice cream cones.
• 1:11:01
  Chris: I can't possibly hold all four.
• 1:11:04
  Nora: Like you would never be able to do that?
• 1:11:08
  Charles: But you have to, like if you have to do it.
• 1:11:10
  Charles: Is there a gun to my head?
• 1:11:11
  Charles: Yes, there's a gun to your head
• 1:11:13
  Charles: and you have to hold four ice cream cones.
• 1:11:15
  Charles: How do you hold four ice cream cones
• 1:11:16
  Charles: and how do you eat them?
• 1:11:20
  Charles: I guess I would just be shot.
• 1:11:23
  Charles: You are ruining this content.
• 1:11:25
  Nora: Okay, so here's what I would do.
• 1:11:26
  Nora: Play in this space with me.
• 1:11:28
  Nora: I take them like this and probably like,
• 1:11:32
  Nora: probably like one and then two and then three and then four.
• 1:11:34
  Nora: Wait, is this what you want, Charles?
• 1:11:36
  Charles: Is this what you want?
• 1:11:37
  Charles: No, that's not what I want.
• 1:11:38
  Charles: I just wanna know, yeah, Nora, go ahead.
• 1:11:41
  Nora: And one and then two and then three and then four
• 1:11:44
  Nora: and then back over here to one and then two
• 1:11:47
  Nora: and then three and then four.
• 1:11:48
  Chris: Look, whatever sick bastard is holding a gun to my head
• 1:11:51
  Chris: to try to force me to do that like a trained seal,
• 1:11:54
  Chris: I'm sorry, they're just not gonna get
• 1:11:55
  Chris: what they're looking for.
• 1:11:56
  Chris: Wow.
• 1:11:57
  Charles: This content was brought to us by an audience member, Olivia.
• 1:12:01
  Charles: Thank you, Olivia, for watching this and sending this over to me.
• 1:12:04
  Charles: I really, truly appreciate you and appreciate this.
• 1:12:08
  Charles: But this is how some of those were answered.
• 1:12:12
  Video: I asked my boss what he would do if four really good-looking firemen came in here.
• 1:12:16
  Video: You did not! Shut the f*** up!
• 1:12:19
  Video: Shut up! Tell the truth!
• 1:12:22
  Video: You're fired!
• 1:12:23
  Video: Four at a time?
• 1:12:25
  Video: Light work.
• 1:12:26
  Video: I could do four at a time.
• 1:12:26
  Video: I could do two in each hand, but it'd probably be easier
• 1:12:29
  Video: if I did one in each hand.
• 1:12:30
  Video: And you lick the top, eat the whole thing, other one.
• 1:12:33
  Video: Then grab the other two and do it.
• 1:12:35
  Video: Lick, eat, four done.
• 1:12:38
  Video: I don't know how long it would take me, but I could do it.
• 1:12:41
  Video: [LAUGHTER]
• 1:12:42
  Nora: I love his reaction.
• 1:12:44
  Nora: Like, no, you're lying.
• 1:12:47
  Nora: You're lying.
• 1:12:47
  Nora: Tell the truth.
• 1:12:48
  Nora: You're fired.
• 1:12:49
  Nora: [LAUGHTER]
• 1:12:51
  Charles: All right, let's keep it going.
• 1:12:52
  Charles: Keep it going.
• 1:12:54
  Charles: I just got done asking Mark what he would do
• 1:12:56
  Charles: if 10 really good looking firemen came into his office.
• 1:12:59
  Charles: Dude, that's not what you put.
• 1:13:02
  Video: I don't know, I mean 10?
• 1:13:03
  Video: Yeah, I can handle 10.
• 1:13:04
  Video: Like, I guess you just grab two at a time really fast,
• 1:13:08
  Video: get it down, 'cause you gotta deal with like,
• 1:13:10
  Video: you know, dripping, so you gotta get underneath that.
• 1:13:13
  Video: Grab the next two, maybe even four.
• 1:13:15
  Video: If I could fit four in my hand.
• 1:13:17
  Video: Yeah, I could take four, I would say, probably four.
• 1:13:20
  Video: So that's six right there.
• 1:13:21
  Charles: Yeah he can.
• 1:13:22
  Video: I would take it down easy.
• 1:13:24
  Nora: He'd take it down easy.
• 1:13:25
  Charles: This one's a different question.
• 1:13:26
  Charles: This one's a different question.
• 1:13:28
  Nora: Today I just asked my boyfriend what he would do
• 1:13:30
  Nora: if Megan Thee Stallion was in front of him.
• 1:13:32
  Nora: What?
• 1:13:34
  Nora: Man.
• 1:13:35
  Nora: Like, go off like a pig?
• 1:13:37
  Nora: (laughing)
• 1:13:39
  Nora: With a mustache, that would be bad.
• 1:13:42
  Nora: (laughing)
• 1:13:44
  Nora: It'd be yummy probably.
• 1:13:47
  Nora: (laughing)
• 1:13:47
  Nora: What was that question?
• 1:13:49
  Chris: Yeah, what was that actual question?
• 1:13:51
  Nora: No, that's the thing I need to know what the actual question exactly yeah, oh
• 1:14:00
  Charles: That's it for around the net folks. I think now is a good time for us to jump in you know what I'm gonna
• 1:14:06
  Charles: I'm gonna do it this way. I'm gonna real quick. Give me a few seconds. Mm-hmm can somebody
• 1:14:14
  Charles: Just fill the dead air real quick
• 1:14:43
  Chris: (humming)
• 1:14:44
  Nora: So you know when you create your TikTok,
• 1:14:48
  Nora: it adds a song to it.
• 1:14:49
  Nora: Try to see if there's a pen hole.
• 1:14:51
  Nora: And then it makes it too loud.
• 1:14:52
  Nora: But basically, one of the pumpkins
• 1:14:54
  Nora: has basically stopped growing.
• 1:14:56
  Nora: She's at the end of her season, which is really sad.
• 1:14:59
  Chris: Speaking of really sad, check out that music track.
• 1:15:03
  Chris: Bump it up a little bit.
• 1:15:07
  Charles: Nora, what's Loudspeaker?
• 1:15:09
  Nora: Ooh, good question, Charles.
• 1:15:11
  Charles: Thank you.
• 1:15:11
  Nora: Loudspeaker is a not-for-profit radio station and studio in Northern Colorado.
• 1:15:19
  Nora: If you're looking for a new place to get your music, you need to look no further than loudspeaker.org.
• 1:15:28
  Nora: We have six stations, starting with Loudspeaker One Indie Music. That's my personal favorite.
• 1:15:35
  Nora: We have Colorado Music and Colorado Radio.
• 1:15:37
  Nora: We have the radio remix, so talk radio,
• 1:15:41
  Nora: the Riot, Radio With Pride, Cafe 80s,
• 1:15:44
  Nora: and Revolution 6, because the 60s were a crazy time for music.
• 1:15:49
  Nora: Right now, you can see what's playing on the Riot.
• 1:15:53
  Nora: You can also go to all of our shows.
• 1:15:56
  Nora: You can listen to them online anytime you want.
• 1:16:00
  Nora: Or, you can also download the app
• 1:16:03
  Nora: and listen to the radio shows there.
• 1:16:08
  Nora: But we have a bunch of really great shows for you,
• 1:16:12
  Nora: like ours, Vibeshack Live,
• 1:16:15
  Nora: where you can go into each of the pages
• 1:16:19
  Nora: and see all of our details about all the things we do,
• 1:16:24
  Nora: and even click on us,
• 1:16:26
  Nora: and you can see what else we're involved in.
• 1:16:29
  Nora: I only do this. [laughs]
• 1:16:32
  Nora: But we have a great lineup of music.
• 1:16:37
  Nora: It is not algorithm based,
• 1:16:40

  Nora: And it's on CarPlay, and there's an app.
• 1:17:30
  Nora: So do it.
• 1:17:32
  Nora: There's nothing stopping you.
• 1:17:33
  Charles: Chris, real quick question for you.
• 1:17:37
  Charles: Do you sometimes talk too loudly or softly
• 1:17:39
  Charles: and don't realize it?
• 1:17:42
  Charles: No.
• 1:17:43
  Charles: Okay, never true.
• 1:17:47
  Charles: I often don't know how to act in social situations.
• 1:17:51
  Charles: On a scale of one to five, how do you feel about that?
• 1:17:58
  Charles: Three.
• 1:17:59
  Charles: Cool. Cool. I'm we're getting we're getting through this. We're gonna have we're gonna have a reds arm. So
• 1:18:06
  Charles: Chris do you want to do yours first? Or do you want to do mine? Let's do yours first. Cool. So I
• 1:18:13
  Charles: Saw this video I've watched it in its entirety. It is five minutes long. So there's a longer video for for us
• 1:18:19
  Charles: however
• 1:18:21
  Charles: This is a guy very specifically. This is a lawyer
• 1:18:24
  Charles: Telling you the steps of how you can be untraceable on the Internet
• 1:18:29
  Nora: Ooh, that's important.
• 1:18:30
  Charles: Yeah, so like, if you're out somewhere
• 1:18:34
  Charles: and you don't wanna be found by anybody,
• 1:18:38
  Charles: this is how you have to go about doing it,
• 1:18:40
  Charles: like the steps to go about doing it.
• 1:18:42
  Charles: Charles, why might someone want
• 1:18:44
  Charles: to be untraceable on the internet?
• 1:18:46
  Charles: Safety purposes.
• 1:18:47
  Charles: Starting a new life.
• 1:18:48
  Charles: Starting a new life.
• 1:18:50
  Charles: If you-
• 1:18:50
  Charles: Going missing.
• 1:18:51
  Charles: You're in the witness protection program.
• 1:18:53
  Charles: Right, right, you know, there are some-
• 1:18:56
  Charles: If you testified against drug dealers
• 1:18:58
  Charles: You're afraid they'll find you right there's some nefarious things, but we don't need to mention those necessarily
• 1:19:03
  Charles: But I think that there are some valid reasons why you would or if you make a movie with obscenity in it. Yeah
• 1:19:10
  Nora: Hypothetically hypothetically
• 1:19:12
  Charles: so I'm thinking we'll just like stop after each thing and
• 1:19:17
  Charles: Talk about it, but there are some some
• 1:19:21
  Charles: Some do's and don'ts flare in this video. I'm really excited for how to be untraceable on the internet spoiler
• 1:19:26
  Video: It's basically impossible, but it's a fun thought experiment for supporters of privacy rights
• 1:19:31
  Video: So first you're gonna need a device to browse the web with let's call it the burner phone
• 1:19:35
  Video: You gotta buy it with cash. No credit card. No debit card
• 1:19:39
  Video: No email receipt and you think you'd be in the clear, right?
• 1:19:42
  Video: Not really because cash doesn't erase that the event happened
• 1:19:45
  Video: It just shifts to where you got to look for evidence. The trail is at the store you buy
• 1:19:49
  Chris: That's why I pay a hobo to buy all of my he talks about he talks about this like actually paying like a like a homeless
• 1:19:55
  Charles: person for doing this kind of work.
• 1:19:58
  Charles: The phone from.
• 1:19:59
  Video: The burner phone has a serial number.
• 1:20:01
  Video: The store has inventory records for that phone
• 1:20:04
  Video: with that serial number.
• 1:20:05
  Video: The cash register then has a time stamp
• 1:20:07
  Video: of when that phone was bought.
• 1:20:09
  Video: So if someone wanted to check the surveillance footage
• 1:20:11
  Video: for an item sold at register three at 2.14 p.m.
• 1:20:15
  Video: it wouldn't be too hard to link you to the phone.
• 1:20:18
  Video: So surveillance footage could be pulled
• 1:20:19
  Video: to show you standing there buying it.
• 1:20:21
  Video: Boom, not anonymous anymore,
• 1:20:22
  Video: browsing on your new burner phone.
• 1:20:24
  Video: So what to do?
• 1:20:25
  Video: you'd have to go through the ridiculous lengths
• 1:20:26
  Video: of having a random person who could never identify you
• 1:20:30
  Video: buy that particular phone for you, or you'd-
• 1:20:32
  Video: But only that person is shown in that photo.
• 1:20:34
  Video: Have to wear a disguise.
• 1:20:35
  Video: Those 15% of you who made it past the first 30 seconds,
• 1:20:39
  Video: stay tuned, I have a special treat for now
• 1:20:41
  Video: as a thanks for your attention.
• 1:20:43
  Video: (humming)
• 1:20:48
  Video: Nice.
• 1:20:53
  Video: [BEATBOXING]
• 1:20:55
  Video: I want this guy to be my lawyer.
• 1:20:58
  Video: [BEATBOXING]
• 1:21:00
  Video: OK, next off, you can never even power on the burner phone
• 1:21:03
  Video: near any real electronic devices that you typically
• 1:21:06
  Video: use inside of your home.
• 1:21:08
  Video: Some phones have pinpoint GPS data
• 1:21:10
  Video: to map your exact location.
• 1:21:11
  Video: The system may not know who owns the burner phone yet,
• 1:21:14
  Video: but if it can say this unknown device keeps appearing
• 1:21:17
  Video: geographically near this known person's typical phone,
• 1:21:21
  Video: then you're in trouble.
• 1:21:22
  Charles: Yeah, I feel like, real quick, on my end,
• 1:21:25
  Charles: if I were to connect it to my own Wi-Fi,
• 1:21:30
  Charles: the bootylicious boys, I do feel like
• 1:21:33
  Charles: I would be found out pretty quickly.
• 1:21:36
  Nora: Bootylicious busted.
• 1:21:38
  Nora: (laughing)
• 1:21:39
  Chris: Booty busted, not the last time.
• 1:21:42
  Video: Through some person who's trying to surveil you,
• 1:21:44
  Video: or the government, or service providers.
• 1:21:47
  Video: So you activate the phone only far
• 1:21:49
  Video: from your real phone in your house.
• 1:21:51
  Video: You think, I didn't give my name, so I'm fine.
• 1:21:54
  Video: But the system still sees the SIM card, the device ID,
• 1:21:57
  Video: the time, the network, the first place it connected,
• 1:21:59
  Video: maybe the IP address used during activation.
• 1:22:01
  Video: That becomes kind of a birth certificate
• 1:22:03
  Video: from the phone, which could be connected to you
• 1:22:05
  Video: if you're not careful.
• 1:22:06
  Video: So now you use the device.
• 1:22:08
  Video: You turn off location services immediately.
• 1:22:10
  Video: But that just stops the phone from politely telling apps
• 1:22:13
  Video: where it is through GPS.
• 1:22:15
  Video: The phone still talks to cell towers.
• 1:22:17
  Video: It still sees Wi-Fi networks around it.
• 1:22:19
  Video: It still has Bluetooth apps that can
• 1:22:22
  Video: infer location tangentially.
• 1:22:24
  Video: A phone is basically a location-emitting object
• 1:22:26
  Video: by design.
• 1:22:27
  Video: So you definitely can't use home Wi-Fi,
• 1:22:29
  Video: because then it could be associated with you.
• 1:22:31
  Video: But it's bigger than that.
• 1:22:32
  Video: You can't use office Wi-Fi, gym Wi-Fi,
• 1:22:36
  Video: Wi-Fi at your favorite coffee shop, your friend's router.
• 1:22:39
  Video: Even the surrounding networks become kind of a habitat
• 1:22:43
  Video: for identifying you.
• 1:22:44
  Video: Devices don't need to say your name
• 1:22:46
  Video: if they keep showing up in the place where you show up.
• 1:22:49
  Video: Remember, surveillance footage can-
• 1:22:50
  Charles: Now, question, question, let's pause it here.
• 1:22:52
  Charles: Is he going to beatbox again?
• 1:22:55
  Nora: I hope so.
• 1:22:56
  Charles: I'd say it's more likely than not.
• 1:22:59
  Charles: More likely than not, okay.
• 1:23:00
  Charles: I'm very interested, like I was like,
• 1:23:03
  Charles: at this point I was like, I need a new hit.
• 1:23:07
  Charles: I need a new hit.
• 1:23:08
  Nora: The pictures are helping though.
• 1:23:09
  Charles: Yes, 100%.
• 1:23:11
  Video: Also, he's got lovely eyes.
• 1:23:13
  Nora: He does have lovely eyes.
• 1:23:14
  Video: to cross-reference your device's presence
• 1:23:16
  Video: within a Wi-Fi network to your physical on-camera location
• 1:23:19
  Video: at the same place.
• 1:23:20
  Video: So next you might add a VPN,
• 1:23:22
  Video: and a lot of people think a VPN means invisibility.
• 1:23:24
  Video: It doesn't.
• 1:23:25
  Video: A VPN is basically a tunnel.
• 1:23:27
  Video: Your internet traffic goes from your device
• 1:23:29
  Video: to the VPN company first,
• 1:23:31
  Video: and then the VPN company routes you to the website
• 1:23:33
  Video: from their server.
• 1:23:34
  Video: So the website may see the VPN's IP address
• 1:23:37
  Video: instead of your own,
• 1:23:37
  Video: but now you're trusting the VPN company.
• 1:23:40
  Video: If they keep logs of who's connecting with it,
• 1:23:42
  Video: they may be able to connect your burner phone
• 1:23:44
  Video: to your online activity.
• 1:23:45
  Video: That's not cool.
• 1:23:46
  Video: And some VPN companies are shady, vague, foreign,
• 1:23:48
  Video: or cheap, built around marketing more than privacy.
• 1:23:51
  Charles: So they could technically out you-
• 1:23:52
  Charles: Right, so here's the thing about VPNs.
• 1:23:54
  Charles: They're pretty easy to set up, right?
• 1:23:57
  Charles: And it's pretty inexpensive to set these up.
• 1:24:00
  Nora: Especially for a private company,
• 1:24:01
  Nora: you have to trust them.
• 1:24:03
  Charles: Right. - Right.
• 1:24:04
  Charles: So a lot of these companies, like you were saying,
• 1:24:06
  Charles: it's all marketing-based,
• 1:24:08
  Charles: because it's so easy to set up a VPN company
• 1:24:12
  Charles: that it's just like-
• 1:24:14
  Chris: Yeah, all you really need is a computer
• 1:24:16
  Chris: in the cloud somewhere and bandwidth
• 1:24:19
  Chris: and you can set up your own VPN
• 1:24:22
  Chris: and start selling your own VPN.
• 1:24:23
  Chris: Some of these companies do provide audit compliance
• 1:24:29
  Chris: for their logs to show that they don't save certain data,
• 1:24:34
  Chris: but again, a lot of times you have to take their word for it.
• 1:24:37
  Charles: Right, but also like, if you were to truly be like,
• 1:24:41
  Charles: you're going through a VPN,
• 1:24:43
  Charles: to make it yourself completely anonymous,
• 1:24:45
  Charles: you'd have to pay like cash with these companies,
• 1:24:48
  Charles: which does any of these companies take cash?
• 1:24:51
  Chris: No, but several of them do take cryptocurrency.
• 1:24:54
  Charles: Okay, so that could work.
• 1:24:57
  Chris: So you could obfuscate somewhat.
• 1:24:59
  Charles: Right.
• 1:25:00
  Chris: But yeah, I mean, at the end of the day,
• 1:25:02
  Chris: like, unless you are the most paranoid,
• 1:25:05
  Chris: most careful person on the planet,
• 1:25:08
  Chris: chances are you're gonna do something
• 1:25:09
  Chris: that someone can link back to you.
• 1:25:11
  Chris: Right, right, 100%.
• 1:25:13
  Video: Or whoever's looking for you.
• 1:25:15
  Video: You basically moved your trust from an internet provider
• 1:25:19
  Video: to a company with a cool logo
• 1:25:20
  Video: and a promise that they'd never identify you.
• 1:25:22
  Video: And even if the IP address problem
• 1:25:24
  Video: is handled well by the VPN company,
• 1:25:26
  Video: identity leaks elsewhere too.
• 1:25:29
  Video: The second you log into your real Gmail,
• 1:25:31
  Video: your iCloud, your Instagram, your TikTok,
• 1:25:33
  Video: or any account, the mask comes off.
• 1:25:35
  Video: So you can never log in on your burner phone
• 1:25:38
  Video: where you're browsing the web to any website
• 1:25:39
  Video: you've ever used before through the login
• 1:25:41
  Video: that you typically use.
• 1:25:44
  Video: Even that doesn't resolve the issues.
• 1:25:46
  Video: You're still identifiable by the way you use language,
• 1:25:49
  Video: your speaking style, your typing style.
• 1:25:52
  Video: You use the same typos over and over again.
• 1:25:54
  Video: You talk like David Lynch, like I do.
• 1:25:56
  Video: Between typing different letters down to the microsecond
• 1:25:59
  Video: can be used to match your burner accounts to you.
• 1:26:02
  Video: And websites can and do keep that data
• 1:26:04
  Video: to try to identify people for marketing purposes.
• 1:26:07
  Video: The internet doesn't always need your name.
• 1:26:08
  Video: Sometimes it recognizes your pattern
• 1:26:11
  Video: and your searches, your habits betray you.
• 1:26:13
  Chris: Though to be fair, that's less likely
• 1:26:15
  Chris: to hold up in court than other forms of identification.
• 1:26:19
  Video: That's right, right.
• 1:26:21
  Video: So what's my point?
• 1:26:22
  Video: The privacy that you would seek to obtain
• 1:26:25
  Video: through browsing the web anonymously
• 1:26:27
  Video: is practically unobtainable.
• 1:26:29
  Video: You can be burned by one login,
• 1:26:32
  Video: one time locating yourself on a wifi network
• 1:26:35
  Video: and then being on camera in that same location.
• 1:26:38
  Video: So my point is basically we live in a crazy world
• 1:26:41
  Video: where everything you do is traced
• 1:26:43
  Video: and there's really no way around it.
• 1:26:44
  Video: (imitates spitting)
• 1:26:48
  Nora: (laughing)
• 1:26:55
  Chris: He looks like Kyle Gordon.
• 1:26:56
  Chris: He does.
• 1:26:58
  Chris: Also, from what I could tell,
• 1:27:01
  Chris: Those were sound effects being played over him.
• 1:27:03
  Chris: He wasn't actually doing that.
• 1:27:04
  Chris: No flying out of that.
• 1:27:06
  Chris: That you know, at least on the second one.
• 1:27:10
  Chris: No. Can we can we go back to it and play that last little bit?
• 1:27:13
  Chris: We got to listen to it flat out.
• 1:27:14
  Video: I'm working on it.
• 1:27:17
  Video: You can be burned by one log in.
• 1:27:21
  Video: My point is basically we live in a crazy world
• 1:27:23
  Video: where everything you do is traced and there's really no way around it.
• 1:27:27
  Video: (imitates spitting)
• 1:27:35
  Chris: Yeah, see, there's a point there
• 1:27:37
  Chris: where he stops moving his mouth, yet the sound continues.
• 1:27:39
  Charles: No, I think he's just moving his mouth too quickly
• 1:27:42
  Charles: that it's not registering in the camera.
• 1:27:45
  Nora: With how much he spit on that,
• 1:27:48
  Nora: he was doing that for real.
• 1:27:50
  Chris: Well, I'm sure he's doing the motions
• 1:27:52
  Chris: and he's making sounds, he's just not making those sounds.
• 1:27:56
  Charles: No, he's not adding that sound effect.
• 1:27:58
  Charles: We need to ask him, we need to,
• 1:28:00
  Charles: can we reach out to this guy?
• 1:28:01
  Charles: I'm gonna reach out to this guy and be like,
• 1:28:03
  Charles: hey look man.
• 1:28:04
  Nora: Hey Mr. Lawyer.
• 1:28:04
  Charles: Hey Mr. Lawyer, can you actually just beatbox
• 1:28:07
  Charles: for us again?
• 1:28:08
  Charles: I wonder if he has other beatboxing videos.
• 1:28:10
  Nora: I hope he does.
• 1:28:11
  Charles: You know what we forgot to do?
• 1:28:12
  Nora: What?
• 1:28:13
  Charles: The chiropractic stuff.
• 1:28:14
  Nora: Yeah, you did.
• 1:28:15
  Charles: Let's do it Charles.
• 1:28:16
  Charles: Okay, so.
• 1:28:17
  Charles: It's 8.30 already.
• 1:28:19
  Charles: (laughing)
• 1:28:20
  Charles: I know, I know.
• 1:28:21
  Nora: What else are we doing today?
• 1:28:23
  Charles: Oh, we are gonna go get food.
• 1:28:24
  Nora: I mean, we're not going to be able to if you start the chiropractic right we gotta do it
• 1:28:30
  Charles: It's so good. It's so good. So last week I was just talking about like like how fucking weird chiropractic videos
• 1:28:38
  Charles: chiropractor cracking videos can get
• 1:28:41
  Charles: and so
• 1:28:43
  Charles: Earlier this week. I was like, let's just search
• 1:28:46
  Charles: Chiropractor cracking videos and see what pops up
• 1:28:54
  Charles: now
• 1:28:54
  Charles: And just see them digging in people's buttholes
• 1:29:00
  Charles: Like, like flat out like
• 1:29:02
  Nora: No!
• 1:29:04
  Charles: No! Stop!
• 1:29:07
  Charles: That's, that's porn
• 1:29:08
  Charles: Right, one more
• 1:29:10
  Nora: It's just
• 1:29:13
  Nora: It's all just
• 1:29:20
  Chris: It's that same video
• 1:29:21
  Chris: Goddammit!
• 1:29:24
  Chris: (laughing)
• 1:29:28
  Charles: No.
• 1:29:30
  Nora: It's just straight up.
• 1:29:32
  Charles: I'm serious.
• 1:29:32
  Charles: It's just like when we go through it,
• 1:29:34
  Charles: it's literally just straight up just like-
• 1:29:37
  Charles: Just butthole palooza.
• 1:29:39
  Charles: But like they just stick their fingers
• 1:29:43
  Charles: just all the way up the butt.
• 1:29:46
  Charles: Like I don't, I don't get it.
• 1:29:49
  Charles: I don't get, I mean, I do get it.
• 1:29:52
  Charles: It's just, it's fetish content, right?
• 1:29:55
  Charles: At that point, yeah.
• 1:29:56
  Charles: It's gotta be, yeah.
• 1:29:57
  Charles: Right, so like there's a purpose for it.
• 1:30:00
  Charles: However, it's just sad that I can't find any like good,
• 1:30:03
  Charles: like terrible cracking videos.
• 1:30:05
  Charles: It's all just like, here's a finger
• 1:30:08
  Charles: in somebody's butthole.
• 1:30:10
  Chris: You know what, well Charles,
• 1:30:11
  Chris: that'll be your homework for next week
• 1:30:13
  Chris: is to find some really weird cracking videos
• 1:30:17
  Chris: that aren't butthole focused.
• 1:30:21
  Chris: Chris, tell us about your assessment.
• 1:30:26
  Chris: So as part of my day job,
• 1:30:28
  Chris: everyone at the company was invited to take
• 1:30:31
  Chris: something called a DISC assessment, D-I-S-C.
• 1:30:35
  Chris: I don't remember what it stands for.
• 1:30:37
  Chris: I'm not sure I ever knew it.
• 1:30:38
  Nora: Dominance something, something, something.
• 1:30:41
  Chris: Yeah, Dominus Obsequium Sacralum something.
• 1:30:46
  Chris: Here's a very short explainer on what it's supposed to do.
• 1:30:51
  Video: While assessment really is,
• 1:30:52
  Video: let's first talk about why it matters to you as a leader
• 1:30:55
  Video: for overall team success.
• 1:30:56
  Video: As a leader, understanding your team members' personalities
• 1:30:59
  Video: and communication styles can be a game changer.
• 1:31:02
  Video: It allows you to build a more cohesive and productive team,
• 1:31:05
  Video: increase employee satisfaction, and ultimately-
• 1:31:07
  Nora: Yeah!
• 1:31:08
  Video: Look how happy she is.
• 1:31:11
  Charles: Holy Christmas.
• 1:31:12
  Charles: The three person high five is the worst feeling thing ever.
• 1:31:16
  Charles: It never feels-
• 1:31:17
  Charles: You have no good context.
• 1:31:19
  Charles: Let's do one. I'll do the third. I'll do the third hand ready
• 1:31:23
  Charles: It just there's no there's no good feel for it. This is how you do it ready
• 1:31:28
  Charles: So I'll do this this hand would be like the same hand so just put your hand your your other hand
• 1:31:33
  Charles: So we do it like this and then we just wrap in
• 1:31:40
  Charles: Do that in camera - okay, so we got it's way up here so we got
• 1:31:44
  Charles: Third person you can add more people if you want you could use roll them in and you just shake it
• 1:31:51
  Charles: That's how you do it I don't like that you don't like that one I don't like touching
• 1:32:01
  Charles: Which brings up a good question Chris
• 1:32:02
  Charles: Uh, how do you feel about like like being physical with other people like hugging shaking hands that kind of thing?
• 1:32:09
  Chris: If they're people I like I like it. Okay. Okay. It's good answer
• 1:32:13
  Chris: Mm-hmm. So speaking of invasive procedures. Let's look at the results of this assessment. I have not seen this before
• 1:32:21
  Chris: I just did a cursory glance to make sure it didn't have like my social security number or something in it before we put it
• 1:32:26
  Chris: On the show, but we are all seeing this for the first time
• 1:32:30
  Nora: You're gonna find out that
• 1:32:32
  Nora: You are an uncompliant
• 1:32:36
  Nora: Undominant non-dominant
• 1:32:40
  Charles: Chris is such a subby little bottom.
• 1:32:43
  Charles: (laughing)
• 1:32:48
  Chris: Charles has been reading my diary.
• 1:32:49
  Chris: So yeah, so this is a 50 page document.
• 1:32:53
  Chris: We are not going through all of it by any means
• 1:32:57
  Chris: 'cause I don't even know, like look how broken down this is.
• 1:33:01
  Chris: How did you take this?
• 1:33:03
  Chris: So it is a series of 36 questions, that's it.
• 1:33:07
  Nora: Like the Radzar.
• 1:33:09
  Chris: Radzar is like 80.
• 1:33:10
  Nora: (laughing)
• 1:33:11
  Chris: And all you do is like basically rank statements
• 1:33:17
  Chris: from one to six several times.
• 1:33:19
  Chris: And it's kind of like an SAT thing where it's like,
• 1:33:22
  Chris: or maybe Myers-Briggs where there are multiple questions
• 1:33:25
  Chris: that all mean the same thing but are worded differently.
• 1:33:28
  Chris: So yeah, out of 36 questions about things
• 1:33:31
  Chris: that are basically all the same,
• 1:33:33
  Chris: they generated this 50-some page document.
• 1:33:36
  Video: Wow.
• 1:33:37
  Chris: Which is wild to me.
• 1:33:40
  Chris: Now, for the record, I'm not suggesting that this isn't valid.
• 1:33:43
  Chris: I have no idea whether it is or isn't.
• 1:33:46
  Chris: I just thought it would be fun for us to go through.
• 1:33:49
  Chris: So there's, you know, talks about, "This examines Chris's behavioral style, offering
• 1:33:54
  Chris: insight into his natural leadership behaviors and those that might require more energy and
• 1:33:59
  Chris: focus."
• 1:33:59
  Chris: [laughter]
• 1:34:01
  Chris: "Driving Forces explores my personal motivators."
• 1:34:04
  Charles: By only answering 36 questions,
• 1:34:07
  Charles: it's able to generate 50 pages worth of this.
• 1:34:10
  Chris: Isn't that wild?
• 1:34:11
  Chris: It's AI.
• 1:34:12
  Chris: Yeah, I don't think it's AI.
• 1:34:14
  Chris: I think it's something else entirely.
• 1:34:16
  Nora: Oh, 'cause the team, we did a PI,
• 1:34:20
  Nora: predictive index assessment,
• 1:34:22
  Nora: and I'm pretty sure that's AI.
• 1:34:24
  Chris: Ah, that could be.
• 1:34:25
  Chris: Now this is based off of some psychologist's thing,
• 1:34:29
  Chris: so I don't know much about it, or really anything at all.
• 1:34:33
  Chris: So this is about my approach to problems and challenges,
• 1:34:36
  Chris: to people in contact, to pace and consistency,
• 1:34:38
  Chris: to procedures and constraints.
• 1:34:42
  Chris: Let's see.
• 1:34:45
  Chris: So this is behavioral characteristics.
• 1:34:47
  Chris: Chris likes to work behind the scene.
• 1:34:50
  Chris: (laughing)
• 1:34:53
  Chris: And be seen as someone who is organized
• 1:34:56
  Chris: and has his life in order.
• 1:34:58
  Chris: That's true.
• 1:34:58
  Chris: He is task oriented.
• 1:35:00
  Chris: However, he can still maintain good working relationships
• 1:35:03
  Chris: with others as long as they share his concern for excellence.
• 1:35:08
  Chris: It's true.
• 1:35:09
  Chris: (laughing)
• 1:35:11
  Chris: That particular part sounds like it was written by AI.
• 1:35:14
  Chris: (laughing)
• 1:35:15
  Chris: His concern for excellence is the weirdest sentence
• 1:35:18
  Chris: fragment I've ever seen.
• 1:35:20
  Chris: He keeps his equipment in good working order
• 1:35:23
  Chris: and likes others who also use the equipment
• 1:35:25
  Chris: to share the same concern.
• 1:35:27
  Chris: It's true.
• 1:35:28
  Chris: (laughing)
• 1:35:30
  Chris: which you could take any number of ways.
• 1:35:33
  Chris: Becoming acquainted with him can be difficult
• 1:35:35
  Chris: since he tends to withhold his emotions.
• 1:35:37
  Chris: What?
• 1:35:39
  Chris: He may appear to be cool and distant.
• 1:35:42
  Chris: And I think that's gonna be my new Instagram bio,
• 1:35:46
  Chris: cool and distant.
• 1:35:49
  Chris: Chris prefers doing the job right the first time
• 1:35:51
  Chris: rather than taking shortcuts
• 1:35:52
  Chris: that may lessen the quality of work.
• 1:35:54
  Chris: How do you feel about that sentence, Chris?
• 1:35:58
  Chris: You feel like that connects pretty well?
• 1:36:01
  Chris: To a degree, yeah.
• 1:36:02
  Chris: I don't like having to do the same thing multiple times
• 1:36:04
  Chris: if I can avoid it, that is definitely true.
• 1:36:07
  Video: Makes sense.
• 1:36:08
  Chris: And I do sometimes get annoyed
• 1:36:10
  Chris: when I'm asked to do something and then I do it
• 1:36:12
  Chris: and then someone changes the parameters
• 1:36:13
  Chris: and I have to do it over.
• 1:36:16
  Chris: Let's see.
• 1:36:18
  Chris: He sees it as an efficient way of task completion.
• 1:36:21
  Chris: True.
• 1:36:21
  Chris: Because of high expectations for his own job performance,
• 1:36:24
  Chris: Chris may sometimes feel that other workers cannot perform
• 1:36:27
  Chris: up to his standards.
• 1:36:28
  Chris: That is 100% true.
• 1:36:32
  Chris: He doesn't appreciate a dirty or messy workstation
• 1:36:35
  Chris: since he equates dirt and disorganization
• 1:36:37
  Chris: with lower quality work.
• 1:36:39
  Chris: That is demonstrably not true.
• 1:36:42
  Chris: If you saw my desk in my office at home,
• 1:36:45
  Chris: it's pure chaos.
• 1:36:48
  Chris: I do like keeping the studio clean,
• 1:36:50
  Chris: but that's because there's expensive equipment here.
• 1:36:52
  Chris: Other people who use it.
• 1:36:53
  Chris: And it's a shared space.
• 1:36:54
  Chris: And it's a shared space, yeah, you know?
• 1:36:56
  Nora: Different parameters there.
• 1:36:58
  Chris: Yeah, let's see.
• 1:37:00
  Chris: Rules and procedures provide security
• 1:37:03
  Chris: for his job performance, sure.
• 1:37:05
  Chris: Chris can devote all his energy to the job
• 1:37:07
  Chris: which offers security to his work situation.
• 1:37:10
  Chris: Isn't some of this just phrased really strangely?
• 1:37:12
  Charles: Yeah, I do agree with you that this does read like AI.
• 1:37:17
  Nora: That's the only way that you can really generate
• 1:37:19
  Nora: 50 pages of content after 36 questions.
• 1:37:22
  Chris: Chris prides himself on being incisive.
• 1:37:26
  Chris: I'm not really sure what that means.
• 1:37:28
  Chris: He wants to get things done by proceeding with the facts
• 1:37:31
  Chris: that are at hand.
• 1:37:32
  Chris: In conflicts, Chris usually remains calm and cool-headed.
• 1:37:35
  Chris: I don't know, Charles, you've seen me in conflicts.
• 1:37:38
  Chris: What say you?
• 1:37:39
  Charles: I think there are times where you can
• 1:37:42
  Charles: and times where you...
• 1:37:48
  Nora: Incisive means direct.
• 1:37:49
  Charles: Ah, okay.
• 1:37:51
  Charles: I feel like it's 50/50 with that one.
• 1:37:53
  Charles: Sure.
• 1:37:54
  Chris: Yeah, I would agree.
• 1:37:58
  Chris: When things calm down, however,
• 1:37:59
  Chris: he may suffer some delayed reaction.
• 1:38:03
  Chris: From all kinds of delayed reaction.
• 1:38:04
  Chris: Chris is a critical and systematic thinker
• 1:38:08
  Chris: and the strength may not be easily recognized by others.
• 1:38:11
  Chris: He tends to base decisions on the quality of work,
• 1:38:13
  Chris: not on efficiency.
• 1:38:15
  Chris: He capable of routinely making daily decisions,
• 1:38:17
  Chris: usually becomes cautious about the bigger decisions.
• 1:38:20
  Chris: He wants to be absolutely certain his decisions is correct.
• 1:38:24
  Chris: That's true, I think.
• 1:38:27
  Chris: With bigger decisions, I do tend to ruminate on 'em
• 1:38:30
  Chris: for probably far too long.
• 1:38:32
  Chris: But so far, from what you guys are seeing here,
• 1:38:35
  Chris: would you say, this is me, this is not me?
• 1:38:38
  Charles: I feel like this is pretty similar, Chris.
• 1:38:41
  Nora: Yeah, seems like the Chris I know.
• 1:38:43
  Charles: This is very interesting how close it is overall
• 1:38:48
  Charles: that I wonder what the C stands for,
• 1:38:53
  Charles: why you're Scotty-- - Compliant.
• 1:38:56
  Charles: You're just a compliant little guy.
• 1:38:58
  Charles: Just a compliant little guy.
• 1:39:00
  Charles: Rules are helpful.
• 1:39:01
  Chris: Rules are helpful.
• 1:39:02
  Chris: Although I don't know that I agree with this next part.
• 1:39:06
  Chris: Where did it go?
• 1:39:07
  Chris: Chris places high value on tradition and traditional things.
• 1:39:12
  Chris: Yes and no.
• 1:39:13
  Chris: I think we're all creatures of habit for sure,
• 1:39:17
  Chris: but I don't necessarily like doing things
• 1:39:19
  Chris: just because they're the traditional way.
• 1:39:22
  Chris: If we did this show the way that most other people do,
• 1:39:25
  Chris: like internet videos, we would not put all of this effort
• 1:39:30
  Chris: into the way that we do it.
• 1:39:33
  Chris: As just one example.
• 1:39:36
  Chris: Chris has acute awareness of social, economic,
• 1:39:38
  Chris: and political implications of his decisions.
• 1:39:42
  Chris: He gets frustrated when well-established rules
• 1:39:44
  Chris: are not observed by others.
• 1:39:46
  Nora: Same.
• 1:39:46
  Chris: Sometimes, yeah.
• 1:39:48
  Nora: I very much like it.
• 1:39:50
  Nora: It's a rule that I have to follow then everybody else better be fucking
• 1:39:57
  Chris: Let's see, let's okay, so I think we've got kind of the idea for behavioral stuff let's come to
• 1:40:04
  Chris: value to the organization anchor of reality
• 1:40:08
  Chris: Always concerned about quality work maintain standards objective the anchor of reality. I'm gonna add that to my
• 1:40:15
  Chris: LinkedIn bio
• 1:40:16
  Chris: accurate and intuitive
• 1:40:19
  Charles: Okay, but where's the downside this is like hyping you up. Yeah, it is. Let's get to let's get to this shit
• 1:40:26
  Chris: Like yeah, where's the page where I suck ways to okay?
• 1:40:30
  Chris: Here's you guys have to communicate with me like all day every day ways to communicate with Chris
• 1:40:37
  Chris: Give him time to be thorough when appropriate
• 1:40:40
  Chris: Listen to him
• 1:40:41
  Nora: For everyone, keep at least three feet away from him.
• 1:40:46
  Nora: (laughing)
• 1:40:49
  Nora: What the fuck are you saying?
• 1:40:52
  Nora: This assessment, Chris, thinks you're autistic.
• 1:40:55
  Nora: (laughing)
• 1:40:58
  Charles: Chris took the reds out.
• 1:41:02
  Charles: (laughing)
• 1:41:05
  Charles: I have no idea where that came from, holy shit.
• 1:41:09
  Charles: Use an unemotional approach.
• 1:41:11
  Nora: Okay, honestly, the three feet away,
• 1:41:13
  Nora: that seems like a business space,
• 1:41:15
  Nora: like that's professional space that you give somebody.
• 1:41:18
  Nora: Hello, Nora. - That's too much.
• 1:41:20
  Nora: Hello, Nora.
• 1:41:21
  Nora: We're sitting when we normally sit, that's three.
• 1:41:24
  Chris: That's not three feet.
• 1:41:25
  Nora: Or two and a half feet away.
• 1:41:26
  Chris: No, it's not.
• 1:41:28
  Chris: You're like maybe a foot away, if that.
• 1:41:29
  Nora: Well, that's because we're also front facing.
• 1:41:31
  Nora: If I were talking with Charles,
• 1:41:33
  Nora: I would want him to be across the table.
• 1:41:34
  Chris: It's 'cause I smell, though.
• 1:41:37
  Chris: (laughing)
• 1:41:38
  Nora: Sorry.
• 1:41:40
  Chris: Let's see, prepare your quote unquote case in advance.
• 1:41:44
  Chris: (laughing)
• 1:41:44
  Chris: Use expert testimonials.
• 1:41:47
  Nora: (laughing)
• 1:41:48
  Nora: He's not gonna trust you, bitch!
• 1:41:50
  Chris: You know, from now on, when anyone suggests
• 1:41:53
  Chris: a new segment idea, I'm gonna require you
• 1:41:55
  Chris: to list at least three expert testimonials.
• 1:41:57
  Charles: You know what, you know what, I'm gonna find,
• 1:42:00
  Charles: I'm gonna go through and find all of these
• 1:42:02
  Charles: weird little guys who have like good followings,
• 1:42:04
  Charles: like the catchphrase guy, and be like,
• 1:42:06
  Charles: you know, Heidi Klum follows him.
• 1:42:09
  Charles: (laughing)
• 1:42:10
  Nora: Logical proof.
• 1:42:11
  Nora: (laughing)
• 1:42:13
  Chris: Let's see, be prepared with the facts and figures,
• 1:42:16
  Chris: have the facts in logical order.
• 1:42:18
  Chris: Okay, ways not to communicate with Chris.
• 1:42:21
  Chris: Pretend to be an expert if you are not.
• 1:42:24
  Charles: I mean, in general, this is just like
• 1:42:27
  Charles: how to communicate with people.
• 1:42:29
  Nora: Use inappropriate buzzwords.
• 1:42:31
  Nora: "Hey, Chris, you're being too woke right now."
• 1:42:35
  Nora: (laughing)
• 1:42:35
  Nora: I don't even know.
• 1:42:38
  Nora: (laughing)
• 1:42:41
  Chris: Push too hard to be unrealistic with deadlines?
• 1:42:43
  Chris: Well that's just being an asshole.
• 1:42:44
  Nora: Mm-hmm.
• 1:42:45
  Chris: (laughing)
• 1:42:46
  Nora: Stand too close.
• 1:42:47
  Nora: What the fuck?
• 1:42:49
  Nora: (laughing)
• 1:42:52
  Nora: What did you have to, what questions did you answer
• 1:42:54
  Nora: to get that response?
• 1:42:57
  Nora: I don't know.
• 1:42:59
  Nora: I wanna know if everybody has the,
• 1:43:01
  Nora: don't stand too close.
• 1:43:03
  Chris: I like this one too.
• 1:43:04
  Chris: Don't leave things open to interpretation.
• 1:43:07
  Chris: (laughing)
• 1:43:12
  Charles: Chris, I think you should bring this up to a meeting
• 1:43:14
  Charles: and see if any employees got,
• 1:43:15
  Charles: please stand really close to me.
• 1:43:18
  Charles: (laughing)
• 1:43:19
  Charles: Please talk in my face.
• 1:43:20
  Nora: Hello, hello.
• 1:43:21
  Nora: Talk in my face.
• 1:43:22
  Nora: Hello.
• 1:43:23
  Nora: Oh, I won't accept your ideas
• 1:43:26
  Chris: unless you are breathing into my mouth.
• 1:43:27
  Nora: I don't think we've ever been that close before, Trevor.
• 1:43:30
  Nora: I know, that was weird.
• 1:43:31
  Nora: That was weird.
• 1:43:33
  Nora: (laughing)
• 1:43:34
  Charles: Oh, God.
• 1:43:35
  Nora: We do need to follow the three feet of space rule.
• 1:43:38
  Nora: This is true.
• 1:43:38
  Nora: Come on in.
• 1:43:39
  Nora: (laughing)
• 1:43:40
  Charles: No, scroll back up, scroll back up, scroll back up.
• 1:43:44
  Charles: For dominance.
• 1:43:46
  Charles: (laughing)
• 1:43:47
  Chris: When manage, yeah, so this is what's checkboxed
• 1:43:51
  Chris: in under dominance.
• 1:43:52
  Chris: When managing or interacting with a person
• 1:43:53
  Chris: who is ambitious, forceful, decisive, strong-willed,
• 1:43:56
  Chris: independent, and goal-oriented.
• 1:43:59
  Chris: Be clear, specific, brief, and to the point.
• 1:44:01
  Chris: Stick to business.
• 1:44:03
  Nora: No leaving loopholes or cloudy issues.
• 1:44:06
  Chris: Be prepared with support material
• 1:44:07
  Chris: in a well-organized quote unquote package.
• 1:44:10
  Charles: I got a well-organized package for you.
• 1:44:12
  Chris: Oh!
• 1:44:14
  Nora: It seems like disorganization
• 1:44:17
  Nora: plays a role in all of these.
• 1:44:20
  Chris: I am extremely disorganized.
• 1:44:23
  Chris: Like that's just, you should see how the years and years
• 1:44:27
  Chris: of our creative output are organized.
• 1:44:29
  Chris: It's a madhouse.
• 1:44:31
  Chris: Let's see what else.
• 1:44:33
  Chris: Okay, so yeah, these ones, we're not gonna go through.
• 1:44:34
  Nora: I wanna see the perceptions, yeah.
• 1:44:37
  Nora: Oh, here's your.
• 1:44:39
  Chris: Chris usually sees himself as being precise,
• 1:44:42
  Chris: thorough, moderate, diplomatic,
• 1:44:45
  Chris: knowledgeable, and analytical.
• 1:44:47
  Nora: Here's where he's not being glazed anymore.
• 1:44:50
  Chris: Yeah, under moderate pressure, tension,
• 1:44:52
  Chris: stress, or fatigue, others may see him as being
• 1:44:56
  Chris: pessimistic, worrisome, picky, and fussy.
• 1:45:00
  Chris: (laughing)
• 1:45:02
  Chris: (laughing)
• 1:45:03
  Chris: Charles, you've known me for 10 years, what say you?
• 1:45:05
  Charles: I think that's accurate.
• 1:45:09
  Charles: Okay, I'll take that.
• 1:45:10
  Charles: I think so.
• 1:45:12
  Charles: I think that when you get under
• 1:45:16
  Charles: a very stressful situation,
• 1:45:19
  Charles: you tend to get pretty worrisome.
• 1:45:22
  Chris: That is, yeah, you know what, that's accurate.
• 1:45:24
  Chris: Through years of building what a loudspeaker has become,
• 1:45:30
  Chris: There are probably every six months or so,
• 1:45:33
  Chris: I get like a extreme crisis of confidence
• 1:45:36
  Chris: and Charles has to talk me off the ledge.
• 1:45:39
  Chris: So that's not inaccurate.
• 1:45:41
  Chris: But I don't think it's a bad thing.
• 1:45:42
  Chris: Literally, like Chris was on top of a building
• 1:45:43
  Charles: like a month ago.
• 1:45:45
  Nora: (laughing)
• 1:45:45
  Nora: I don't think that's a bad thing though.
• 1:45:47
  Charles: Chris jumping to his death is not a bad thing?
• 1:45:49
  Nora: I think it's a bad thing.
• 1:45:51
  Nora: Not the being worrisome, you know,
• 1:45:52
  Nora: like being, you know, concerned when something is,
• 1:45:54
  Nora: when you're under stress,
• 1:45:55
  Nora: I think that's a normal human reaction.
• 1:45:58
  Chris: Yeah, under extreme pressure,
• 1:46:00
  Chris: stress or fatigue.
• 1:46:01
  Chris: Others may see him as being perfectionistic,
• 1:46:04
  Chris: which I didn't know was a word,
• 1:46:06
  Chris: hard to please, strict, and defensive.
• 1:46:10
  Nora: Hard to please and strict?
• 1:46:11
  Nora: I don't think those are bad things.
• 1:46:15
  Chris: I also wouldn't agree with strict or perfectionistic.
• 1:46:19
  Chris: If I'm under extreme pressure,
• 1:46:22
  Chris: I'm usually at a point where I just wanna get it done.
• 1:46:24
  Chris: I don't even necessarily care about how that happens.
• 1:46:28
  Chris: Right.
• 1:46:30
  Chris: Potential hidden influences.
• 1:46:32
  Chris: This section explores Chris's quote,
• 1:46:34
  Nora: lowest behavioral factor.
• 1:46:35
  Chris: Now this is where they shit on me.
• 1:46:37
  Chris: This is where I get into it.
• 1:46:40
  Chris: Leadership situations that may create discomfort
• 1:46:42
  Chris: or displeasure or deplete Chris's energy quickly
• 1:46:46
  Chris: include giving impromptu public presentations,
• 1:46:49
  Chris: working environments that mistake realism for pessimism,
• 1:46:54
  Chris: contexts that promote trust
• 1:46:55
  Chris: without the support of solid data.
• 1:46:59
  Chris: About the only part of that that I can identify with
• 1:47:02
  Chris: is giving impromptu public presentations,
• 1:47:04
  Chris: but I think that just about everyone is terrified of that.
• 1:47:07
  Nora: I don't mind it.
• 1:47:08
  Chris: I don't mind.
• 1:47:09
  Nora: I can do it.
• 1:47:10
  Chris: Like, just like without any warning,
• 1:47:12
  Charles: just hop in and do it?
• 1:47:13
  Nora: Yeah.
• 1:47:14
  Charles: Yeah, I'm good at improv.
• 1:47:16
  Nora: I can talk to people.
• 1:47:17
  Charles: I can yes and any kind of meeting I jump into.
• 1:47:22
  Charles: You're better at that than I am, for sure.
• 1:47:24
  Nora: For me, it's not an improv, it's like,
• 1:47:26
  Nora: hey, I could talk for 15 minutes.
• 1:47:28
  Nora: Sure, let me.
• 1:47:29
  Nora: (laughing)
• 1:47:30
  Chris: Nora's a yapper.
• 1:47:31
  Chris: That is true.
• 1:47:32
  Nora: Just let me talk.
• 1:47:33
  Chris: Like, "Hey Nora, we're doing a show,
• 1:47:35
  Chris: "do you wanna be on it?"
• 1:47:36
  Chris: "Sure, I can talk about stuff."
• 1:47:37
  Chris: Exactly, like literally.
• 1:47:40
  Nora: I'll yap for days, I love yapping,
• 1:47:42
  Nora: and in fact, if I could give presentations
• 1:47:44
  Nora: about things today, I will.
• 1:47:46
  Charles: Change your LinkedIn bio to professional yapper,
• 1:47:48
  Charles: you would get so many jobs.
• 1:47:49
  Charles: Yes. - People would love that.
• 1:47:51
  Nora: Yes.
• 1:47:52
  Nora: But I don't wanna yap professionally,
• 1:47:53
  Nora: I wanna yap for fun.
• 1:47:55
  Chris: Oh, let's see.
• 1:47:56
  Chris: (laughing)
• 1:48:00
  Chris: A list of descriptors, I don't know.
• 1:48:03
  Nora: It does say he's not dominant.
• 1:48:05
  Nora: (laughing)
• 1:48:06
  Nora: It says non-dominant, yes, it's under.
• 1:48:09
  Nora: Yeah, I mean.
• 1:48:10
  Nora: But you're steady and compliant.
• 1:48:11
  Chris: I don't consider myself a dominant person.
• 1:48:14
  Chris: I think if I need to be-
• 1:48:15
  Nora: He's a subby little bottom.
• 1:48:17
  Chris: I mean, I can be if I need to be,
• 1:48:19
  Chris: if I need to be decisive, but it's not my-
• 1:48:22
  Chris: He's verse.
• 1:48:23
  Chris: (laughing)
• 1:48:24
  Nora: It's not my verse.
• 1:48:26
  Nora: Same. - Oh, same.
• 1:48:27
  Chris: Chris is somewhat conservative in approaching challenges.
• 1:48:32
  Chris: He prefers calculated responses
• 1:48:33
  Chris: and seeks to avoid confrontation,
• 1:48:36
  Chris: reflecting a leadership style focused on critical thinking
• 1:48:39
  Chris: and positive team dynamics.
• 1:48:42
  Chris: Incredible.
• 1:48:44
  Nora: (laughing)
• 1:48:45
  Nora: I think this is like pretty accurate, honestly.
• 1:48:48
  Charles: We're only on page 15 of 15.
• 1:48:50
  Charles: I know, this is nuts.
• 1:48:52
  Nora: Half of it is like how you use the data, I think.
• 1:48:57
  Nora: Like the first part is gonna be his results,
• 1:49:00
  Nora: but then the rest of it's like how you use the data,
• 1:49:02
  Nora: how you apply it.
• 1:49:03
  Nora: So, like how he is naturally and how he is at work.
• 1:49:07
  Charles: What's like the last few pages?
• 1:49:08
  Charles: Like what's the overview?
• 1:49:11
  Chris: Yeah, I don't know.
• 1:49:12
  Chris: I'm scrolling, scrolling, scrolling, scrolling.
• 1:49:16
  Chris: Set clear guidelines, productivity booster.
• 1:49:20
  Chris: Like, yeah, there's so much.
• 1:49:22
  Chris: Oh, wait.
• 1:49:23
  Chris: Chris has a tendency to appear somewhat aloof and cool
• 1:49:26
  Chris: to the emotional appeal of others.
• 1:49:29
  Charles: Autism!
• 1:49:30
  Charles: (laughing)
• 1:49:32
  Chris: Is that true though?
• 1:49:33
  Chris: I don't know.
• 1:49:34
  Chris: It's not a very good thing.
• 1:49:35
  Chris: When people make emotional appeals to me,
• 1:49:37
  Chris: I usually start crying.
• 1:49:39
  Charles: Yeah, I don't think that that's very accurate to you.
• 1:49:42
  Charles: You're a very emotional guy.
• 1:49:44
  Chris: I'm an emotional little guy.
• 1:49:46
  Chris: I take, I wear my heart on my sleeve
• 1:49:48
  Chris: and I do take things personally,
• 1:49:51
  Chris: even when they're not always intended that way.
• 1:49:53
  Chris: And yeah, I wouldn't agree with that particular part.
• 1:49:57
  Chris: Chris has a tendency to select people much like himself.
• 1:50:01
  Chris: Exhibit A for no.
• 1:50:04
  Chris: (laughing)
• 1:50:06
  Nora: We are very different.
• 1:50:08
  Chris: It's very true.
• 1:50:11
  Chris: Be suspicious and pessimistic of any new project.
• 1:50:14
  Chris: Wants more support than is necessary.
• 1:50:17
  Chris: I don't think that's true at all.
• 1:50:18
  Chris: No, I don't think this is true.
• 1:50:22
  Chris: Prefer things to people.
• 1:50:23
  Chris: Things don't show emotion or need restraint.
• 1:50:27
  Chris: (laughing)
• 1:50:29
  Charles: How do you feel about that, Chris?
• 1:50:30
  Chris: I love people, I really do.
• 1:50:34
  Chris: But going back to being an emotional person,
• 1:50:37
  Chris: I care about people and I do the things I do
• 1:50:44
  Chris: to share things with the world.
• 1:50:47
  Chris: Shows like this, our radio station, our, you know,
• 1:50:50
  Chris: culture and how people interact with the world
• 1:50:52
  Chris: and the ways in which people live our lives
• 1:50:54
  Chris: is very important to me.
• 1:50:56
  Chris: Otherwise, I don't think I'd be putting myself
• 1:50:58
  Chris: on the internet all the time.
• 1:50:59
  Chris: Right.
• 1:51:00
  Nora: I think the other limitation of these kind of,
• 1:51:02
  Nora: like, questionnaires is they're, like,
• 1:51:04
  Nora: work-related specifically.
• 1:51:06
  Nora: Right.
• 1:51:06
  Nora: And, like, my work persona is totally different
• 1:51:09
  Nora: than, like, this vibe-check persona.
• 1:51:11
  Charles: Right, I wear a shirt,
• 1:51:12
  Charles: I don't show my nipples at work ever.
• 1:51:15
  Nora: I wouldn't do that, but here, on this show?
• 1:51:18
  Chris: I think that's why they passed you up for that promotion.
• 1:51:22
  Nora: (laughing)
• 1:51:23
  Nora: Oh!
• 1:51:24
  Nora: Both of them, it happened you guys, it happened!
• 1:51:26
  Chris: I'm also wearing a wire, folks.
• 1:51:28
  Chris: Charles, do that to camera two.
• 1:51:30
  Nora: (laughing)
• 1:51:31
  Nora: You gotta stand up for that one.
• 1:51:33
  Charles: Hold on, I'm stepping on the microphone.
• 1:51:35
  Charles: There we go.
• 1:51:38
  Charles: Yeah, get it.
• 1:51:40
  Nora: (laughing)
• 1:51:40
  Charles: It's like so hot, it's like my nipple in 4K.
• 1:51:44
  Charles: (laughing)
• 1:51:45
  Nora: You guys, I'm getting really hungry.
• 1:51:47
  Chris: You're getting, I'm-
• 1:51:48
  Nora: I'm really, really hungry.
• 1:51:50
  Chris: Yeah, so let's see if we can cut to the chase on just-
• 1:51:55
  Chris: What's the final note?
• 1:51:56
  Chris: I don't know, man, I'm scrolling
• 1:51:57
  Chris: and I'm still only halfway through.
• 1:51:59
  Chris: God damn.
• 1:51:59
  Chris: Driving forces.
• 1:52:01
  Charles: Can you scroll through the pages on the side
• 1:52:04
  Charles: and just go down to the bottom page?
• 1:52:05
  Chris: Yeah, let's see.
• 1:52:06
  Chris: Yeah, what do we got?
• 1:52:08
  Chris: Let's do that.
• 1:52:09
  Charles: Do the last three pages.
• 1:52:11
  Charles: Or the last few, oh, it goes over our leg.
• 1:52:13
  Nora: (laughing)
• 1:52:14
  Charles: You have to do homework, Chris.
• 1:52:17
  Charles: Like, look at this shit.
• 1:52:18
  Nora: Point and laugh, you have to do homework.
• 1:52:20
  Chris: Behavior, yeah, we don't have to do this, by the way.
• 1:52:23
  Chris: Behaviors and driving forces continuums.
• 1:52:26
  Chris: (laughing)
• 1:52:26
  Chris: Maybe if I read the previous 50 pages,
• 1:52:28
  Chris: I'd understand what the hell this means.
• 1:52:30
  Nora: You have some stars and some numbers in there.
• 1:52:32
  Nora: It looks good.
• 1:52:33
  Chris: Yeah, I got some numbers.
• 1:52:34
  Chris: I got a 47 on harmonious.
• 1:52:36
  Chris: Wow.
• 1:52:37
  Nora: I don't know what that means.
• 1:52:39
  Nora: Congratulations.
• 1:52:39
  Nora: Thank you.
• 1:52:40
  Nora: That's some good numbers.
• 1:52:41
  Nora: 47 on harmonious.
• 1:52:43
  Nora: I haven't, he's seen a score at 47 and-
• 1:52:45
  Nora: Yeah, this thing thinks I'm like a robot.
• 1:52:48
  Nora: It thinks you're, I think you answered it as an autistic.
• 1:52:52
  Nora: (laughing)
• 1:52:53
  Nora: 'Cause it sounds like mine.
• 1:52:56
  Nora: (laughing)
• 1:52:57
  Nora: That sounds like me.
• 1:52:59
  Nora: Yeah.
• 1:53:00
  Nora: Except I do love a presentation,
• 1:53:02
  Nora: that's the only difference.
• 1:53:03
  Chris: Yeah, presentations are fun.
• 1:53:05
  Chris: And I don't know, maybe I'll put this up
• 1:53:07
  Chris: in the show notes for people to look at.
• 1:53:09
  Charles: I think it's funny how they send you personally
• 1:53:13
  Charles: Did anybody else receive this information?
• 1:53:15
  Charles: Probably his boss.
• 1:53:16
  Charles: Your boss probably got it.
• 1:53:17
  Chris: So the way it was was my boss got them all
• 1:53:20
  Chris: and then forwarded them to each person
• 1:53:22
  Chris: as they completed them.
• 1:53:25
  Charles: I feel like it's really weird to get information
• 1:53:29
  Charles: about how other people should talk to you.
• 1:53:33
  Charles: Like I wouldn't want it to like to take a test
• 1:53:36
  Charles: and then be like, how you-
• 1:53:38
  Nora: People should walk on eggshells around Lenora.
• 1:53:42
  Nora: (laughing)
• 1:53:42
  Nora: She's gonna react and bite your head off.
• 1:53:45
  Nora: (laughing)
• 1:53:46
  Chris: I don't know, I can see how it'd be valuable
• 1:53:49
  Chris: and obviously that's why I had no problem sharing this.
• 1:53:52
  Chris: In fact, sharing this on the show was my idea.
• 1:53:56
  Chris: But we were not provided access to anyone else's reports.
• 1:54:01
  Chris: My boss sent them to everyone individually.
• 1:54:04
  Chris: So it's not like I can look up my coworker stuff
• 1:54:06
  Chris: and be like, oh, this is how I need to talk to Nora.
• 1:54:10
  Chris: But yeah, it's kind of interesting.
• 1:54:11
  Chris: I think it gets some things right,
• 1:54:13
  Chris: I think it gets some things wrong.
• 1:54:15
  Chris: But it is very interesting that it can extrapolate
• 1:54:18
  Chris: so much out of such little information.
• 1:54:21
  Charles: Right, that's where I feel like
• 1:54:23
  Charles: it's assuming a lot of things.
• 1:54:26
  Charles: Were the questions in depth?
• 1:54:27
  Charles: Was it like?
• 1:54:29
  Nora: It was rated one to six.
• 1:54:30
  Charles: One to six.
• 1:54:31
  Chris: Yeah, it was literally like,
• 1:54:33
  Chris: these six things, rank them one to six
• 1:54:35
  Chris: based on the order of how much you believe in them.
• 1:54:38
  Nora: Okay, weird.
• 1:54:39
  Chris: Yeah.
• 1:54:40
  Nora: See it just reminds me of like my autism assessment and when they were just reading me to filth in my autism
• 1:54:45
  Charles: Right, right like like question for you Chris
• 1:54:49
  Charles: Do you always notice how food feels in your mouth? Like do you feel the texture of food?
• 1:54:55
  Charles: Do you notice the texture? Are you weird about textures? No, not really
• 1:55:00
  Chris: Like the only one I have any sort of textural reaction to is eel. Oh
• 1:55:09
  Chris: Yeah
• 1:55:10
  Chris: sushi until I was in my early 20s and
• 1:55:15
  Chris: My the girl I was dating at the time was like, okay
• 1:55:18
  Chris: Try this and try this and try this and we got to the eel and I put the eel in my mouth and it was
• 1:55:22
  Chris: An immediate reaction where it just went flying straight out. That's how I feel about liver
• 1:55:28
  Chris: Fair enough. I think liver is disgusting, but that's a taste thing
• 1:55:31
  Chris: But yeah, that's the only thing where where I have like a textural issue
• 1:55:35
  Nora: Mine my autism assessment said Nora can be scary when she's angry
• 1:55:41
  Nora: Don't make me angry.
• 1:55:43
  Chris: I don't think I've ever seen you angry before.
• 1:55:45
  Chris: You know, when I was helping you look for your keys.
• 1:55:51
  Chris: Oh my God, that meltdown.
• 1:55:54
  Chris: You were very, very frustrated
• 1:55:55
  Chris: and I was like, yeah, this could get scary.
• 1:55:57
  Nora: I'm not frustrated at myself.
• 1:55:58
  Nora: Like that's really what it does.
• 1:55:59
  Chris: Oh sure, yeah.
• 1:56:00
  Nora: It's the frustration of myself.
• 1:56:01
  Chris: Anyone would be.
• 1:56:03
  Chris: But I was just like, oh man,
• 1:56:04
  Chris: we better find these fucking keys
• 1:56:06
  Chris: before someone gets hurt.
• 1:56:08
  Chris: Do you remember how we found those keys?
• 1:56:11
  Chris: (laughing)
• 1:56:13
  Nora: The most Nora way of losing my keys.
• 1:56:19
  Nora: I was getting really excited
• 1:56:20
  Nora: 'cause I brought all my Mardi Gras stuff, right?
• 1:56:22
  Nora: And I bring, take the Mardi Gras bag outside,
• 1:56:26
  Nora: and I'm like, shit, I can't find my keys.
• 1:56:28
  Nora: Can somebody come pick me up?
• 1:56:29
  Nora: 'Cause my house is like two and a half minutes away.
• 1:56:32
  Nora: And I bring-- - Previous house.
• 1:56:34
  Nora: Previous house, yeah.
• 1:56:35
  Nora: And so I bring all the stuff to our studio and go,
• 1:56:40
  Nora: I can't function if I don't know where my keys are.
• 1:56:43
  Nora: Like that's gonna bother me all night.
• 1:56:45
  Nora: And so we go tearing back through my house.
• 1:56:47
  Nora: And it did.
• 1:56:48
  Nora: And I get a text about 20 minutes after
• 1:56:51
  Nora: we're like tearing through the house and Charles goes,
• 1:56:54
  Nora: your keys have like a blue tag on them?
• 1:56:57
  Nora: (laughing)
• 1:56:57
  Nora: They're at the bottom of the bag
• 1:56:58
  Nora: that I left here at the studio.
• 1:57:00
  Charles: (laughing)
• 1:57:00
  Charles: Here at the studio.
• 1:57:02
  Charles: They're at the studio the entire time.
• 1:57:04
  Chris: You brought them with you.
• 1:57:05
  Chris: So this was also after she had already called a locksmith.
• 1:57:09
  Nora: It's true, I thought the keys were in the car.
• 1:57:11
  Nora: They were not in the car.
• 1:57:12
  Chris: They were not in the car.
• 1:57:13
  Chris: They also weren't in your front yard,
• 1:57:16
  Chris: your backyard, under the bushes.
• 1:57:20
  Chris: There's a lot of places they weren't.
• 1:57:21
  Nora: Anywhere in the house.
• 1:57:23
