- 0:00Eric: Question for you, Matejo.
- 0:02Matt: Uh-huh.
- 0:03Eric: How do you address your wife's parents?
- 0:07Eric: Like, what do you call them?
- 0:09Matt: I am so glad to have this question directly asked of me.
- 0:15Matt: I'm so glad to be called to the carpet like this.
- 0:18Matt: Yes.
- 0:19Matt: I never really know what to do anymore.
- 0:22Matt: Um Lindsay's mom does like does appreciate a mom and and dad to come out of my mouth every now and then.
- 0:32Matt: Moms usually do.
- 0:33Matt: I know.
- 0:34Eric: I don't mean to gemise moms.
- 0:37Matt: I don't like it, you know, on account of I I got one.
- 0:44Matt: You have a mama.
- 0:45Matt: I sure do.
- 0:45Matt: I've met her.
- 0:46Matt: She's a gem.
- 0:48Matt: So I usually try, and I've got I like to think I've gotten pretty good at it.
- 0:54Matt: Try to not use any form of address, if at all possible, to the individual person.
- 1:02Matt: So like to Lindsay's dad, I'll refer to her mom as oh, where's Susie?
- 1:08Matt: And vice versa.
- 1:10Eric: Ah, very good.
- 1:12Eric: I see that's a very good angle shoot you're doing.
- 1:15Eric: Yes.
- 1:16Eric: Because that gives the impression that you would know what to call him, uh-huh, but absolves you from having to do so.
- 1:25Matt: Yeah, so that that that's my methodology.
- 1:27Matt: And I I have gotten away with not having to directly refer to either of them by any particular name to their faces most of the time.
- 1:40Eric: Now what does Lindsay call Moat and Pote?
- 1:44Eric: Oh, okay, thank God.
- 1:46Eric: She's she's in the family after all.
- 1:48Matt: Yeah, no, no, no.
- 1:49Matt: They call she calls it Moton Pote, as we all do.
- 1:52Matt: Okay, and for any listeners confused, Mote is my mom, Pote is my dad, and you know what?
- 1:57Matt: You don't need to know the reasons why.
- 1:59Eric: You really don't, but just know that Matthew's parents, specifically his mom, came to me and told me that I was like in the fam, that I am allowed to call them moat and pote, and that was like the greatest honor of my life.
- 2:16Matt: Yeah, it's true.
- 2:17Matt: If some rando off the street called them Moat and Pote, I'd be like, excuse me.
- 2:22Matt: Struck down.
- 2:24Matt: But you know, if if you I feel like you know when you've you've been given the grace, but it's good.
- 2:32Matt: I'm glad Moat gave it to you explicitly.
- 2:34Eric: Explicitly, and it made it like my heart burst with joy.
- 2:38Eric: And Moat, if you ever listen to this, I love you so much, you're the best.
- 2:41Eric: You so but you do know what you can call your wife's parents, and she knows what she can do.
- 2:48Matt: I'll tell you what, I definitely don't call them.
- 2:50Eric: What?
- 2:51Matt: Mr.
- 2:51Matt: and Mrs.
- 2:52Matt: Barr.
- 2:52Matt: That's something that's something I I might have said one time in my whole life.
- 2:58Matt: Let let me hit you with this.
- 3:01Matt: Hit me away.
- 3:02Matt: Joey.
- 3:02Matt: Hit me away.
- 3:03Matt: Anyway, continue.
- 3:05Eric: Joey.
- 3:06Eric: My Joey.
- 3:07Eric: My best friend Joey, who you have met.
- 3:09Eric: You have broken bread together.
- 3:11Matt: We have.
- 3:12Eric: He has been with his now fiance since 2016.
- 3:17Matt: Uh-huh.
- 3:18Eric: And recently he revealed to me, because I asked him a similar question, just out of curiosity.
- 3:23Eric: Or I can't remember how it came up, but all I know is we were talking about like what you call the parents of your significant other.
- 3:30Eric: That is when he revealed to me that he actually has no idea what to call them because it never came up.
- 3:38Eric: It has never come up where he has had to address them by first name or by title.
- 3:45Eric: So he never found out.
- 3:48Eric: And it is now objectively too late.
- 3:50Eric: Too late.
- 3:51Eric: It's too late.
- 3:52Eric: Now it's too late.
- 3:54Matt: It's too late to apologize.
- 3:56Matt: Now, let me ask a question that I feel I know the answer.
- 4:00Matt: I hope I know the answer to.
- 4:03Matt: Does he know their names?
- 4:04Eric: He knows their names.
- 4:05Eric: I will say this.
- 4:06Eric: He knows their names, but he legitimately does not know if he should call them like but and his fiance can't ask.
- 4:13Eric: How do you slide that in?
- 4:14Eric: How do you justify why you're asking that of your parents?
- 4:16Eric: Like, hey, uh mom, all right, dad, you know, just no reason.
- 4:20Eric: But what should my fiance, who I've dated for seven years, call you?
- 4:27Matt: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 4:28Matt: Let me ask you this.
- 4:29Matt: Did they send Joey?
- 4:32Matt: If you're listening, which I assume you are, do they send you greeting cards?
- 4:37Matt: And if so, how do they sign them?
- 4:40Eric: That is good.
- 4:41Eric: I can follow up with him on that.
- 4:43Matt: Yeah.
- 4:43Matt: That's good.
- 4:44Matt: Joey, if you were listening, if this was a call-in show, that's what I'd say.
- 4:48Matt: I'd say, check out those cards.
- 4:50Matt: What do they say?
- 4:50Matt: Do they say mom and dad?
- 4:51Matt: Do they say what are their names?
- 4:53Matt: Do you know?
- 4:53Eric: Uh oh, I have no idea.
- 4:55Matt: Do they say Sebastian and Elizabeth?
- 4:58Eric: Sebastian and Elizabeth, stronger.
- 5:00Matt: Do they say that?
- 5:02Matt: If it does, then maybe you just go with that.
- 5:05Matt: Or yeah.
- 5:06Matt: Maybe.
- 5:07Matt: Oh, here's what you do.
- 5:08Matt: I got it.
- 5:09Matt: Here's what you do.
- 5:09Matt: Next time you're with them, you come up with a moat and pote.
- 5:13Matt: You come up with some nickname that you work in there, and then you just call them that from now on till the day you die.
- 5:21Eric: Now that is good.
- 5:23Eric: Thank you.
- 5:23Eric: That is also that is a high risk, high reward scenario.
- 5:27Eric: Because you have to come correct.
- 5:29Eric: Joey, my boy, my beautiful, bright, shining angel.
- 5:32Eric: You have to come so correct with these nicknames.
- 5:34Matt: Yeah, you gotta they better be.
- 5:36Matt: You gotta draft them.
- 5:37Matt: You gotta run them by your wife, you or your soon-to-be wife.
- 5:41Matt: Soon to be.
- 5:41Matt: You gotta you gotta run them by an objective third party.
- 5:45Matt: You you gotta ask ChatGBT what it thinks about it.
- 5:48Matt: Like you gotta ask everybody.
- 5:50Matt: Go consult a priest, consult a rabbi, do do whatever you feel you must.
- 5:54Matt: Oh Matt, I've got it.
- 5:57Eric: I've got it.
- 5:58Eric: Joey, do this.
- 6:00Eric: Trust my advice.
- 6:02Eric: You manufacture a situation which will create nicknames for them.
- 6:10Eric: Like you create the situation where, like, I don't know, you've you've got the pizza, they they're carrying a pizza inside, and one of them like drops the pizza, and you go, uh oh, watch out, slice.
- 6:23Eric: Like, you just gotta be ready.
- 6:26Eric: Yeah, it didn't have to be sli I honestly.
- 6:29Matt: You just start calling them.
- 6:30Matt: Take that idea, Joey.
- 6:32Matt: Listen to me.
- 6:32Matt: Joey, hey, focus.
- 6:35Matt: Take that idea, but like make it good, you know?
- 6:40Eric: Like Joey, ignore ignore Matthew Shea.
- 6:45Matt: Don't call your father-in-law slice.
- 6:48Matt: That's not good.
- 6:49Eric: I'm sorry.
- 6:50Eric: I think Slice is the universal nickname for parents now.
- 6:54Eric: That is sick.
- 6:55Eric: Anytime you're like, What the hell are you talking about?
- 6:57Eric: Like, oh my god, like, yo, what's the thing?
- 6:59Eric: The thing you just said, half convicted, Slice.
- 7:04Eric: I'm gaining conviction the more I say it.
- 7:06Eric: Yo, like that's just because that's how you work.
- 7:10Eric: Bro, hear me out.
- 7:12Matt: You become defensive of your own your own perspective, and then you double down.
- 7:16Eric: Imagine, imagine a world where you are you are a person and you're and you are going to a a nondescript parent of your of your nondescript love, and you are asking that, you're telling that parent, you're like, hey, look, I'm gonna I'm gonna propose.
- 7:39Eric: Now, like, a no one has to do that, no one's obligated.
- 7:42Eric: It's purely a like if you want to thing.
- 7:46Eric: But fucking let me let me hit you with two versions.
- 7:49Eric: Version one, oh hey, hey, hey, Mr.
- 7:52Eric: Sebastian.
- 7:53Eric: Um, I was wondering if I could uh ask your your daughter to marry me?
- 7:59Eric: Now let me hit you with this.
- 8:01Eric: Yo, Slice.
- 8:03Eric: Yo, let me put that ring on it.
- 8:06Matt: Can I can I be?
- 8:07Eric: I don't need your permission, Slice, because we know each other on that level.
- 8:12Matt: Can I be can I react?
- 8:14Matt: Can you can you hit me those two scenarios?
- 8:16Matt: Oh, do you want to be slice?
- 8:17Matt: And I'm gonna be I'm gonna be Sebs.
- 8:19Eric: Sebastian Slice?
- 8:21Matt: I'm gonna be Sebs.

- 9:50Eric: Can I do that?
- 9:51Matt: Well.

- 10:24SPEAKER_02: You're not even gonna have my cranberry juice, boy.
- 10:28Matt: Alright, so that's the first version.
- 10:30Matt: That's the first version.
- 10:32Matt: Second version.
- 10:33Matt: Second version.
- 10:39Eric: Kicks in the door.
- 10:40Eric: Yo, Slice!
- 10:42SPEAKER_02: Excuse me?
- 10:44Eric: Yo, Slice, what the fuck is up?
- 10:46SPEAKER_02: It's your boy, DJ Joey G.
- 10:50SPEAKER_02: Joseph, we have had this conversation before.
- 10:53Matt: Let me marry your daughter! How many times do I have to fix my fucking front door?
- 10:58Matt: As many times as it takes, Slice.
- 11:01Matt: I want that hand.
- 11:02Matt: I grab him by the ear and I drag him to the library.
- 11:06Matt: Sit down on the Shay's lounge over there, boy.
- 11:09Matt: More like the Shay's nuts.
- 11:13Matt: We're gonna have a conversation now.
- 11:15Matt: You come in here, you show me no respect, and you expect me to just agree to give you my blessing to marry my daughter?
- 11:25Matt: Look, explain yourself.
- 11:27Matt: Slice.
- 11:29Matt: Why are you calling me Slice?
- 11:30Matt: Because we got history, Slice.
- 11:33Matt: What does that have to do with anything?
- 11:34Matt: Slice, let me take you back.
- 11:36Matt: Why are you calling me Slice?
- 11:37Matt: What is the context?
- 11:41Matt: I don't understand this nickname.
- 11:43Matt: Why are you trying to make this work?
- 11:46Eric: I because I want to make it work with her.
- 11:50Eric: I'm trying to make slice work.
- 11:51Eric: Are you having problems?
- 11:52Eric: Like you're already having problems.
- 11:54Eric: You're not even married yet.
- 11:56Eric: Son of Let me slice, let me cut to the quick.
- 12:02Matt: Doesn't make any sense.
- 12:03Matt: You're doubling down on a pun I don't understand.
- 12:05Eric: Motherfucker.
- 12:06Eric: Your daughter slaps.
- 12:07Eric: There I said it.
- 12:09Eric: My daughter's abusing you.
- 12:11Eric: She's abusing you?
- 12:13SPEAKER_02: You're killing me, Slice.
- 12:14SPEAKER_02: Oh, I understand.
- 12:15SPEAKER_02: I don't need to know about your private lives.
- 12:17SPEAKER_02: I don't need to know what happens in the bedroom.
- 12:19Matt: So I can marry your daughter.
- 12:21Matt: No.
- 12:22Matt: What?
- 12:23Matt: You come in here with the shittiest nickname I've ever heard, and you expect me to allow you to marry my daughter when you've called me Slice out of context, and you said, oh, it's because we have we have history.
- 12:35Matt: You could have called me any number of things.
- 12:37Matt: You could have called me Sophocles, and that would have made more sense.
- 12:40Matt: Sliocles.
- 12:42Matt: It's pretty good.
- 12:44Matt: Have you tried cognac, my boy?
- 12:47Eric: Ooh, sign me the fuck up, my dude! In this universe, Joey's much cooler.
- 12:52Eric: Drinks.
- 12:56Matt: Um anyway, you want to start the show now?
- 13:00Eric: Yeah, let's do that.
- 13:01Matt: Yeah, let's do that.
- 13:02Matt: Maybe we helped you, Joey.
- 13:04Matt: Maybe we didn't.
- 13:05Matt: Anyway.
- 13:06Matt: Slice.
- 13:08Matt: Slice.
- 13:21Matt: Hello, everybody, and welcome to You Didn't Ask for This, the podcast that answers life's least pressing questions.
- 13:29Matt: My name is Matt Shea.
- 13:30Eric: My name is Eric Poach.
- 13:32Matt: And this is the 74th episode of You Didn't Ask For This.
- 13:38Matt: Ew! After a little bit of a delay, we hit you with a best of last time.
- 13:44Matt: Hope you enjoyed that.
- 13:45Matt: If you didn't just skip right over it.
- 13:48Matt: And if you did, shame on you.
- 13:51Eric: Yeah, come on.
- 13:51Matt: What the fuck?
- 13:52Matt: I had to remember all those clips and find them and put them together in a way that kind of made sense.
- 13:58Eric: And I had to talk in them once upon a time.
- 14:01Matt: Yeah, he doesn't remember doing that.
- 14:03Matt: But that's fine.
- 14:04Matt: We're here with you live now.
- 14:06Matt: And by live I mean Eric and I are live.
- 14:09Matt: Yes.
- 14:10Matt: And uh you are listening to this potentially years after it's been recorded.
- 14:14Matt: Um so uh thank you for that and your ongoing support.
- 14:18Matt: Thank you.
- 14:19Matt: Um yeah, so Eric, it for us truly, it's been like a a month and change since we spoke to one another.
- 14:26Eric: It's been a month and change.
- 14:27Eric: And Matt, I'd be remiss if I didn't point out it's been uh just a few days ago, three years since we started this fucking podcast.
- 14:36Eric: Or since we since it was told since it was gestated in our brains.
- 14:41Matt: Since we did the the long lost test episode, uh it's true.
- 14:45Matt: Uh we haven't done we haven't yet gotten to the three-year anniversary.
- 14:49Matt: It's coming up in October, but um so right around the corner.
- 14:53Eric: What what a fucking adventure.
- 14:56Matt: And you know, after three years, we have a big announcement to make.
- 15:01Matt: We got three good questions for you today.
- 15:04Matt: And the first one, uh the first one is a question that has been asked over and over and over again since July twenty-sixth, two thousand.
- 15:22Matt: And that question is simply who let the dogs out.
- 15:28Eric: Baja, I see.
- 15:30Matt: Yes, very good, Eric.
- 15:31Matt: We're talking about the Baja Men's seminal classic, Who Let the Dogs Out?
- 15:37Matt: Yep.
- 15:37Matt: Surely, Eric, you have wondered the literal meaning of this song.
- 15:43Eric: I I have, and and just culturally speaking, I know there's been some back and forth on who the dogs in the song are.
- 15:53Eric: Yeah.
- 15:53Eric: Um, I know in and I'm sure you have Wikipedia this, that's why I'm just throwing it out there.
- 15:59Eric: This is kind of our our deal.
- 16:01Eric: I I just wildly speculate, and then I wait for Matt to give me the Wikipedia information.
- 16:06Eric: Um, I believe originally people interpreted the song to mean like who let the dogs out, dogs here referring to like ugly ladies.
- 16:16Eric: And like the original like, as like I thought you were gonna say literal dogs.
- 16:23Eric: No.
- 16:24Eric: Like originally people seemed to think it was about like ugly women in a club, and that's terrible.
- 16:30Eric: That's awful.
- 16:30Eric: That's yeah, no.
- 16:32Eric: But apparently the Baja men later were like, no, friends, no, we're not talking about women, we're talking about shitty men.
- 16:40Matt: Like dogs, like a hundred fuck boys.
- 16:44Matt: Now, in the year in the year 2000, to invoke Conan's famous, famous bit, I, as just a wee lad, heard this delightful tune on Nickelodeon or some shit from because the Rugrats is what shot it to fame.
- 17:00Matt: If Yes.
- 17:02Matt: The Rugrats movies.
- 17:03Matt: That and aside from the fact that it's a banger of a sort of banger.
- 17:08Matt: Yippee yay yo.
- 17:10Matt: Anyway, so the I I had to revisit this because when I was a young type, I just assumed it was dogs.
- 17:22Matt: Yeah.
- 17:22Matt: You know, who let them out?
- 17:24Matt: Woof woof.
- 17:25Eric: I mean, we were like in what, fourth or fifth grade when this song came out?
- 17:28Eric: Yeah, we like literally know any better.
- 17:31Matt: So I uh Eric, can you besides of course the repeating who let the dogs out?
- 17:36Matt: Who, who, who, who yeah, can you tell me some of the lyrics?
- 17:40Matt: I could only tell you the first line before I looked up the lyrics.
- 17:44Matt: So don't be ashamed.
- 17:45Eric: Uh hold on, hold on.
- 17:47Matt: How does it start?
- 17:48Matt: Uh it it starts with who let the dogs out, but but after that.
- 17:52SPEAKER_03: Um, I was gonna say close, but not even remotely.
- 18:02Eric: No, not like I bro.
- 18:04Eric: I anyone who lives in this house with me can tell you I am god fucking awful.
- 18:09Eric: All right, let me give it lyrics.
- 18:11Eric: I ain't nothing but a hound dog eating all the limes if you catch my gift.
- 18:15Matt: I truly I do.
- 18:17Matt: Now, Lindsay has oft now I've clearly gained this skill over time, but Lindsay has always maintained that I have an uncanny ability to hear a song and like process the lyrics and the meaning of the song quite quickly.
- 18:32Matt: I give her a little bit of pushback on this because there's some songs that I have famously misheard lyrics, such as Yeah, I'm about to say, You better feed me, Mama B.
- 18:42Matt: R.I.P.
- 18:43Matt: Margaritaville.
- 18:45Matt: Um, yes.
- 18:46Matt: Uh of course, as demonstrated on this here very show.
- 18:50Matt: The beginning stanza of this poem is Well, the party was nice.
- 18:55Matt: The party was pumping.
- 18:58Matt: Eric.
- 18:59Eric: Okay.
- 19:00Matt: I can see it.
- 19:00Eric: I'm there.
- 19:01Matt: Come in, come in with what's next.
- 19:03Eric: Um, I don't know.
- 19:05Matt: Hey ya, yippee-yeah-yo.
- 19:07Eric: Oh, that one, yes.
- 19:09Matt: And everybody having a ball.
- 19:11Matt: Hey ya, yippee-yeah-yo.
- 19:13Matt: Actually, that's huh, huh, yippee-yeah, yo.
- 19:15Matt: Okay.
- 19:16Matt: But uh, I tell the fellas start the name calling.
- 19:22Matt: Yippee I yo.
- 19:23Matt: And the girls respond to the call.
- 19:27Matt: I heard a woman shout out, Who let the dogs out?
- 19:32Matt: Who, who, who, who, over and over again a bunch of times.
- 19:37Matt: I see the dance people had a ball.
- 19:40Matt: Hey, because she really wants to skip town.
- 19:44Matt: Get back, gruffy back, scruffy, get back, you flea infested mongrel.
- 19:53Matt: Gonna tell myself, hey man, no get angry, hey ya, yippee-yeah, yo, to any girls calling them canine.
- 20:02Matt: Hey ya, yippee yay yo.
- 20:04Matt: But they tell me, hey man, it's part of the party, yippie yi-yo.
- 20:08Matt: You put a woman in front and her man behind.
- 20:12Matt: I heard a woman shout out, who let the dogs out?
- 20:16Matt: There is no room for argument who the dogs in this scenario are.
- 20:21Matt: It's men.
- 20:23Eric: Why are men?
- 20:24Eric: Why are men?
- 20:24Matt: It's why is men?
- 20:26Matt: Why is men?
- 20:27Matt: I just want to say, and we have we have a large population of our audience are women.
- 20:33Matt: So my mom is a woman.
- 20:36Matt: Great.
- 20:39Matt: I just want to same.
- 20:41Matt: I just want to say sorry about men.
- 20:45Eric: Yeah, we're sorry.
- 20:47Matt: Sorry about men.
- 20:48Matt: We're trash.
- 20:49Matt: Now, we we are trash.
- 20:51Matt: Now, that being said, Eric, I barely go to parties, let alone go to parties and start the name Colin.
- 20:59Matt: Not me.
- 21:01Matt: Not me.
- 21:02Eric: Not this fella.
- 21:02Matt: Not this old dog.
- 21:04Eric: Yeah, why do you gotta be going to the party name Colin?
- 21:07Matt: I'm just a pup, you see.
- 21:13Matt: I'm just uh I'm just a little puppy.
- 21:15Matt: I'm just a little puppy.
- 21:16Matt: I'm a little mummy.
- 21:19Matt: Come on.
- 21:20Matt: Come on.
- 21:21Matt: I am not starting the name Colin.
- 21:23Matt: Surely not.
- 21:24Eric: No, you of all people, Matt Shay.
- 21:26Matt: Yippie I know.
- 21:28unknown: Fucking crazy.
- 21:31Eric: Somewhere, somewhere the Baja men are just like just like feeling shivers going up their spine, and they don't know why.
- 21:40Matt: Yeah, probably so.
- 21:42Matt: There have been so by the way, there have been so many members of the Baja Men.
- 21:47Matt: A group formed in 1977.
- 21:53Matt: I'm sorry, what?
- 21:55Matt: The Baja Men were formed in 1977.
- 22:00Matt: 77.
- 22:03Matt: I'm sorry.
- 22:04unknown: What?
- 22:05Matt: I don't know what else to tell you.
- 22:08Matt: I do not know what else to tell you other than the Baja men have been here longer than you thought, and they are still going strong.
- 22:15Matt: Bet you didn't know that either.
- 22:16Eric: I did not.
- 22:17Eric: Fucking awesome.
- 22:19Eric: They're still they're still doing it.
- 22:20Matt: They're still going.
- 22:22Matt: They are still yippie-yeah yoing to this very day.
- 22:25Matt: To this very day.
- 22:27Matt: Yeah.
- 22:28Matt: Oh, yeah.
- 22:28Matt: Sorry.
- 22:28Eric: I looked at the members.
- 22:29Eric: I was like, okay, that's then I saw past members.
- 22:32Matt: Oh yeah, they've had like 20 members in this band.
- 22:36Eric: Lou Reed was in the Baja Men.
- 22:38Matt: Whoa, I'm just noticing this moment.
- 22:41Matt: They have in 1994, they released a single of Dancing in the Moonlight.
- 22:46Matt: I am 100% gonna have to look up the Baja Men's version of Dancing in the Moon.
- 22:51Matt: Oh, absolutely in the Moonlight.
- 22:53Matt: Oh my god.
- 22:54Matt: Yeah, so the Baham, they posed this question, much like Meatloaf said, I'd do anything for love, but I won't do that.
- 23:04Matt: And people are like, won't do what?
- 23:07Matt: Not understanding how commas work, the answer was always in the lyrics.
- 23:11Matt: And the same thing is true here, folks.
- 23:14Matt: The Baja Men told you.
- 23:16Matt: They told you who the dirty dogs were.
- 23:18Matt: It was the men.
- 23:19Eric: It was the men.
- 23:20Eric: Now, who let them out though?
- 23:22Matt: I think I know the answer to that too.
- 23:23Eric: I'll be with it, baby.
- 23:24Eric: I'm here.
- 23:25Eric: I'm here.
- 23:25Eric: I want to trace it all the way back.
- 23:27Matt: Now, if men have always been trash, which I think we can agree is true.
- 23:33Eric: Yes.
- 23:34Eric: By every conceivable metric.
- 23:36Matt: We need to go back and back and back to figure out how men became trash.
- 23:42SPEAKER_04: Okay?
- 23:43SPEAKER_04: Okay.
- 23:44Matt: I just think if we were to get, I'll say mythological with it.
- 23:49SPEAKER_04: Okay.
- 23:50Eric: Okay.
- 23:51Matt: The original man, our boy Adam.
- 23:54Eric: Adam.
- 23:55Eric: Yep.
- 23:56Matt: He was let out of the Garden of Eden.
- 24:00Matt: Some might say kicked out.
- 24:01Matt: Oh.
- 24:02Matt: Some might say kicked out.
- 24:03Eric: Some might say kicked out.
- 24:05Eric: Some might say let out.
- 24:06Matt: Some might say both.
- 24:07Matt: Who can say?
- 24:08Matt: Who can say?
- 24:09Matt: Now, the person in question who would have let him out, quote unquote, kicked him out.
- 24:14Matt: That would have been technically God.
- 24:16Matt: But the reason behind that was what?
- 24:20Eric: Eating that apple of knowledge.
- 24:22Matt: And who told him to do that, Eric?
- 24:25Eric: Satan.
- 24:26Eric: Satan.
- 24:27Eric: Satan.
- 24:28Eric: Satan.
- 24:29Eric: So the devil let the dogs out.
- 24:32Eric: The devil let the dogs out.
- 24:34Matt: That's what I propose.
- 24:36Matt: What do you think?
- 24:37Eric: Honestly, A, love that cosign.
- 24:42Eric: But if I may offer, if if if I may play devil's advocate for a moment.
- 24:50Matt: So when we're talking about dogs, you had such a good joke there, you couldn't even remember your point.
- 24:57Matt: I hope everyone witnessed that he paused to make a bad pun and then completely forgot his.
- 25:05Eric: It's like, oh right.
- 25:06Eric: I should probably think of something to say after that, after that knee slapper.
- 25:09Eric: After that knee slapper.
- 25:12Eric: Um, if I may play devilest advocate, honestly, I think asking who let the dogs out falls into a pattern of a classical pattern of of anthropological behavior that we've seen throughout society, which is when we ask who let the dogs out, in this case, this is like implying that the dogs were somehow not in control of being out.
- 25:42Eric: Do you know what I mean?
- 25:43Eric: It's the okay, it's like when a when a piece of shit dude shows up to a party and starts acting the fool.
- 25:51Eric: I'm not thinking, oh, who let him out of his house today?
- 25:55Eric: I'm thinking, wow, that guy's a piece of shit.
- 25:58Eric: Sure.
- 25:59Eric: Like, do you know what I mean?
- 26:00Eric: It it's it's shifting responsibility from the culprit.
- 26:05Eric: It it's it's making it's like it's it's putting the fault on someone else, saying, Oh, well, why did you let this guy out?
- 26:10SPEAKER_02: You know, are you saying it's it's victim blaming?
- 26:13Eric: It's it's victim, not victim blaming, or rather douchebag shifting.
- 26:18Eric: It it's it's it's moving the conversation away from the fact that hey, this guy fucking sucks.
- 26:26Matt: Yeah.
- 26:27Eric: But then again, the lyrics, why are you a douchebag?
- 26:32Eric: Doesn't really have play.
- 26:35Eric: It don't play.
- 26:36Eric: It don't play.
- 26:38Eric: And and much easier to say who let the dogs out.
- 26:41Eric: Unless, of course, we're viewing who let the dogs out as like a tongue-in-cheek insult, like something you would yell at a party.
- 26:47Eric: You see a guy like, yo, who let this dog out?
- 26:50Eric: But I like dogs, Matt.
- 26:52Eric: That's the problem.
- 26:53Eric: They're all objectively good.
- 26:56Eric: Dogs, literal dogs.
- 26:57Eric: Every dog is perfect and amazing.
- 26:59Eric: I love you so so much.
- 27:01Eric: And I feel bad putting that kind of shit on dogs.
- 27:05Eric: You like like men have not only ruined parties in this song, they're they're now trying to fucks with my concept of dogs.
- 27:12Eric: And I don't like that at all.
- 27:14Matt: 100%.
- 27:15Matt: Now, I will also just want to double down just so people don't think, God forbid, we're talking out of our ass with this.
- 27:23Matt: The original Who Let the Dogs Out was recorded by Anselm Douglas.
- 27:30Matt: And he says, and this is a quote, it's on Wikipedia, you can read it yourself.
- 27:34Eric: Donate today.
- 27:35Matt: It's it's a man-bashing song.
- 27:37Matt: I'll tell you why.
- 27:39Matt: The lyric of the song says the party was nice, the party was pumping.
- 27:42Matt: When I said the word party, I was being metaphorical.
- 27:44Matt: It really means things were going great.
- 27:46Matt: The yippie yay-yo, that's everybody's happy, right?
- 27:50Matt: And everybody was having a ball, life was going great.
- 27:53Matt: Until the men start the name calling, and then the girls respond to the call.
- 27:57Matt: So the men started calling the women skank and skittle and every dirty word you can think of.
- 28:04Matt: The men started the name calling, and then the girls respond to the call, and then the woman shouts out, Who let the dogs out?
- 28:11Matt: And we start calling men dogs.
- 28:12Matt: It was really a man bashing song.
- 28:16Matt: End quote.
- 28:17Eric: Fuck yeah.
- 28:18Eric: We get more of those.
- 28:20Eric: I think.
- 28:21Eric: Like, maybe that's controversial.
- 28:22Eric: I think we need more men.
- 28:24Matt: No, I think we do need more of it, and I didn't realize in the year 2000 that when I was chanting who, who, who, who, I was a feminist.
- 28:38SPEAKER_03: Fucking crap.
- 28:40Matt: Matt Howell.
- 28:41Matt: But we all got there.
- 28:42Matt: We all get there.
- 28:44Matt: Listen, we all get there in our own pace, don't we?
- 28:48Matt: Us.
- 28:48Matt: You were just doing the right thing for the wrong reasons.
- 28:51Matt: I was doing the right thing for the wrong reasons, but I eventually found the reasons.
- 28:55Eric: And in the end, isn't that you know something?
- 29:00Eric: Something.
- 29:01Eric: Ain't that something?
- 29:02Eric: When the inevitable revolution comes and the collective dudes are our backs against the wall, rightfully and justifiably so.
- 29:10Eric: Uh I like to imagine you'll you'll you'll look up at the revolutionaries and say, hey, who let the dogs out?
- 29:20Matt: Hey.
- 29:20Matt: Blame them.
- 29:22Matt: Before you pull that trigger, let me say this.
- 29:24Matt: Yip, yeah, yo.
- 29:26Eric: And that's how they'll know you're cool.
- 29:27Eric: That's how you know.
- 29:28Eric: That's how they'll say, not this one.
- 29:31Eric: Not this one.
- 29:32Matt: Not this one.
- 29:33Matt: He's a good boy.
- 29:34Matt: He's a good boy.
- 29:37Matt: And they'll put me back in my crate.
- 29:40Matt: Yeah.
- 29:40Eric: Oh, you'll get a sick ass crate.
- 29:42Matt: Oh my god.
- 29:43Matt: I'm gonna get like a good crate that's like double my l size, you know, so I have some room to run around.
- 29:50Matt: The the women warriors who take over the world, they'll be nice to me.
- 29:53Eric: Uh yeah, yeah.
- 29:55Eric: Yeah, yeah.
- 29:56SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 29:56Matt: Absolutely.
- 29:58Matt: You on the other hand.
- 29:59Eric: Oh me, I'm I'm fucking dead.
- 30:04Eric: You're gonna forget this whole conversation.
- 30:06Eric: I don't have an ear for lyrics, Matt.
- 30:07Eric: This is what will kill me.
- 30:08Eric: I will though.
- 30:09Matt: You won't be able to say yippie yo.
- 30:11Matt: You'll be saying, like, I've had enough of these blurred lines.
- 30:14Matt: Boom.
- 30:15Eric: Did uh so the next question.
- 30:22Eric: So the next question sent in to us by none other than Dairy King 11, that's at Dairy King11 on Instagram.
- 30:31Eric: All hail to the king, baby.
- 30:33Matt: Twitter.
- 30:34Eric: But very thank you.
- 30:35Eric: You're welcome.
- 30:36Eric: The question is: what does quote she listens like spring and talks like June, end quote, mean?
- 30:46Eric: What does the phrase she listens like spring and talks like June mean?
- 30:51Matt: Now, of course, I should give the caveat.
- 30:54Matt: This was in response to one of our uh prompts of what questions do you have about trains seminal hit from the year 2001, drops of Jupiter, parentheses, tell me.
- 31:08Eric: So I'm in a very good position here.
- 31:11Eric: Because again, and I cannot stress this enough.
- 31:15Eric: My memory's absolute dog shit when it comes to a lot of things, especially musical lyrics.
- 31:22Matt: You're telling me you don't remember the lyrics, any of the lyrics to trains, hit drops of Jupiter.
- 31:29Matt: They they famously make no sense.
- 31:31Matt: No.
- 31:32Matt: All right, Eric.
- 31:33Eric: Well, the what's I but that but that means, Matt, my slate is clean.
- 31:37Matt: All right.
- 31:37Eric: I am coming at this fresh.
- 31:41Matt: I'll I'll just give you the first part.
- 31:42Matt: And everybody knows, everybody loves when I just dramatically speak these lyrics, so that's what I'm gonna do.
- 31:48Eric: Honestly, it's the highlight of my day.
- 31:51Matt: Now that she's back in the atmosphere with drops of Jupiter in her hair, and then there's some hay is in there, which aren't officially in the lyrics, so I don't have to do them, but it felt wrong to skip them.
- 32:04SPEAKER_04: Okay.
- 32:04Matt: She acts like summer and walks like rain, reminds me that there's a time to change.
- 32:12Matt: Hey.
- 32:13Matt: This one's in there.
- 32:14Matt: Since the return of her stay on the moon, she listens like spring and she talks like June.
- 32:23Matt: Hey, hey, yeah.
- 32:26Matt: Okay.
- 32:27Matt: But tell me, did you sail across the sun?
- 32:30SPEAKER_04: We're still going, okay.
- 32:32Matt: Did you make it to the Milky Way to see the lights all faded?
- 32:36Matt: And that heaven is overrated.
- 32:41Matt: So And tell me, did you fall for a shooting star?
- 32:45Matt: One without a permanent scar, and did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there?
- 32:55Eric: Are you done?
- 32:56Eric: Yeah, I'm done.
- 32:57Eric: Okay.
- 32:58Eric: Yeah, I'm sorry.
- 32:59Eric: So she's been to the moon.
- 33:06Eric: She's been to the moon.
- 33:08Eric: Is that a controversial statement?
- 33:09Eric: She's been to the moon.
- 33:11Eric: Um I suppose in the literal lyrics, no.
- 33:16Matt: That's not a controversial statement since her stay on the return of the moon.
- 33:20Eric: So she's been to the moon, and since going to the moon, she now listens like spring and she talks like June.
- 33:27Matt: Yeah.
- 33:28Eric: Okay.
- 33:29Matt: Deep.
- 33:30Matt: Yeah.
- 33:30Matt: Very deep.
- 33:31Matt: Absolutely.
- 33:32Matt: So here's what I would say.
- 33:34Matt: Okay.
- 33:34Matt: I I don't train, of course, very famous for their surface level nonsensical lyrics, right?
- 33:42Matt: It is right.
- 33:43Matt: I you I you're looking at the body.
- 33:44Matt: Oh, sorry.
- 33:44Eric: I'm I'm with still looking at the lyrics on this page, uh, lost in them.
- 33:49Eric: But yes.
- 33:50Matt: Yeah, uh, yeah, that's what happened.
- 33:52Matt: That's the Eric, that's music.
- 33:54Matt: That's that's music.
- 33:56Matt: Baby.
- 33:56Matt: That's jazz baby.
- 33:57Matt: That's drops of Jupiter.
- 33:59Matt: That's soft pop rock from the early 2000s, baby.
- 34:04Matt: Now, anyway, uh here's here's what I feel.
- 34:07Matt: She listens like spring, she talks like June.
- 34:10SPEAKER_04: Yep.
- 34:11Matt: Obviously, we're getting two different, you know, two con contradictory images.
- 34:18Matt: But what what is it getting at?
- 34:20Matt: I feel that if you're listening like spring, June is rhyming, right?
- 34:26Matt: What he means is summer, right?
- 34:28Matt: Listens like spring, talks like summer.
- 34:32Matt: And I think if to do that, you're listening with what is spring?
- 34:36Matt: Spring is rebirth.
- 34:38Matt: It's a renaissance, it is growth full of possibilities.
- 34:41Matt: Whereas summer is potentially a little bit more relaxed, a little bit more rosy, rose-colored glass.
- 34:51Eric: Bounty.
- 34:51Eric: Summer is like everything's hit, it's like everything's at its peak.
- 34:55Eric: Everything's like at its max.
- 34:57Matt: So she's listening with renewed interest.
- 35:01Matt: She's listening with with fresh ears, fresh context.
- 35:06Matt: And then when she responds to you, it's warm and sunny.
- 35:11Matt: That's what that's how it hits me.
- 35:13Eric: Now I have a question.
- 35:15Matt: Yeah, okay.
- 35:16Eric: What about being on the moon taught her that?
- 35:20Eric: Eric.
- 35:21Eric: What?
- 35:21Eric: You ever been to the moon?
- 35:23Eric: Can't say that I have, Matt.
- 35:25Matt: Yeah, neither have I.
- 35:26Matt: But my understanding is it's a very cold and desolate place where nothing can live.
- 35:30SPEAKER_03: Oh, it's lonely.
- 35:33Matt: I think if what I have done is I have seen the hit Sam Rockwell film Moon, which if you haven't, you absolutely should.
- 35:41Eric: Oh, I fucking love Moon.
- 35:43Eric: Are you kidding me?
- 35:43Matt: Moon's a great fucking movie, and one of Sam Rockwell's best performances.
- 35:48Matt: And I'll tell you what, I saw a lonely ass man there.
- 35:51Matt: I saw a lonely ass man on that movie.
- 35:53Eric: It seemed pretty lonely on that.
- 35:56Matt: And if we were to take another planetary wasteland, the Martian.
- 36:01Matt: Okay.
- 36:02Eric: Yeah.
- 36:03Matt: Matt Damon out there growing lettuce in his own poop.
- 36:06Matt: The That's true.
- 36:08Matt: That's a lonely sad existence to do that.
- 36:10Eric: To take another, another space adventure, uh one interstellar with Sir Matthew McConaughey.
- 36:18Eric: Absolutely.
- 36:18Eric: I would say for most of that.
- 36:20Matt: I haven't actually seen it, but I understand it's emotional.
- 36:22Eric: I I would say, Matt, you're gonna watch that film.
- 36:25Eric: You're gonna see Matthew.
- 36:26Matt: I do really want to, so don't spoil it.
- 36:28Eric: I won't, but I I will say this.
- 36:30Eric: Everything is not alright, all right, all right.
- 36:35Matt: I got that impression from the memes.
- 36:37Eric: Yes, yes.
- 36:38Eric: You haven't seen Interstellar, you're gonna fucking love it.
- 36:40Matt: I know, and I do like Christopher Nolan's movies, and I hear it's arguably his best.
- 36:45Eric: It's very, very good.
- 36:47Matt: Yeah.
- 36:47Eric: Fucking fucking Hans Zimmerman sound score.
- 36:51Eric: Are you kidding me?
- 36:52Eric: Got to.
- 36:54Eric: So what are we saying here, Eric?
- 36:57Eric: So I think what we're saying is that if you live on the moon or on Mars or on the event horizon of a black hole long enough, it makes you a good listener and it really makes you want to talk.
- 37:11Eric: Mm-mm.
- 37:12Eric: Mm-hmm.
- 37:13Matt: Well, it wants you to you want to have a conversation, right?
- 37:17Matt: You want to engage in with somebody.
- 37:20Eric: You know, you want just you're not just like up there on the moon, like kicking moon rocks at at you know the moonlander and doing flag pranks.
- 37:30Eric: You're no you're you're you're introspecting.
- 37:33Eric: You're you're thinking about the big questions, the big things.
- 37:37Matt: When you're able to look back at the entire population of your species, and it's the size of your thumbnail.
- 37:47Matt: Oh, bro.
- 37:47Matt: I think it puts things in a little bit of perspective.
- 37:50Matt: And when you come back, after being all alone for all that time, you want to connect with somebody.
- 37:55Matt: And so you are gonna listen to them.
- 37:56Matt: You're not gonna be so self-absorbed.
- 37:59Matt: That's what I think.
- 38:01Eric: Oh man, yeah.
- 38:02Eric: And like look at this lyric here.
- 38:04Eric: Now that she's back in the atmosphere, I'm afraid that she might think of me as plain old Jane told a story about a man who was too afraid to fly.
- 38:14Eric: So he never did land.
- 38:16Eric: Yeah, that's fucking deep, though.
- 38:20Matt: Absolutely, it is.
- 38:21Eric: God damn, drops of Jupiter, goddamn, train.
- 38:25Matt: Yeah.
- 38:26Eric: Shit.
- 38:27Matt: So that do we like this answer?
- 38:29Matt: Do we feel good about it?
- 38:30Eric: Yeah, I so yeah, I think it means like it's it, yeah.
- 38:33Eric: It what it means is someone who had the the ability to via by choice or by circumstance to be alone and to see the totality of potential from their entire species.
- 38:50Eric: The lesson they took from that is bro, you just gotta fucking send it.
- 38:56Eric: You gotta listen like spring, talk like June.
- 38:58Eric: You gotta like, you gotta like listen with that positive mental attitude and talk like like it's pollen season, dog.
- 39:08Eric: Talk like talk like it's real hot out, like you gotta put sunscreen on.
- 39:14Matt: Yeah.
- 39:15Eric: That's fucking deep.
- 39:16Matt: I think it is.
- 39:17Eric: That's fucking deep.
- 39:18Matt: I think it is.
- 39:19Matt: Also, for what it's worth, Pat uh Monahan, the lead singer of Train, says it was about his uh hi the way he dealt with his mother's death.
- 39:26SPEAKER_03: Oh, that's sad.
- 39:28Matt: Yeah.
- 39:29Matt: Oh, that's a that's what he said.
- 39:31SPEAKER_03: Okay.
- 39:31Matt: He said I couldn't figure out what to write, but then he woke up from a dream about a year after my mother passed away with the words back in the atmosphere.
- 39:38Matt: And it was her way of saying what it was like.
- 39:40Matt: She was swimming through the planets and came to me with drops of Jupiter in her hair.
- 39:46Matt: God damn.
- 39:47Matt: Poor one out for train.
- 39:48Matt: Poor one out for train.
- 39:49Matt: They're also still going, by the way, and still releasing hit after hit after hit.
- 39:53Eric: Good for them.
- 39:54Matt: Yeah, absolutely.
- 39:56Matt: Are you not aware of who train is?
- 39:58Eric: I again, I feel like I've iterated this numerous times.
- 40:04Eric: Dog shit memory when it comes to music, anything.
- 40:10Matt: Sure.
- 40:11Matt: Eric, I think I now you know I love you.
- 40:14Eric: I I I know that, and I hope that continues to be the case for the next 45 minutes.
- 40:21Matt: Eric, it cannot change.
- 40:22Matt: It will never change.
- 40:23Matt: Okay.
- 40:24Matt: This love will never die, baby.
- 40:25Eric: Hell yeah.
- 40:26Matt: But I I do want to say I think I think the listeners know what your mem mental memory capacity is like.
- 40:33Eric: And I think they accept me for that, as who I am.
- 40:36Matt: Yeah.
- 40:37Matt: I I certainly think you believe that.
- 40:40SPEAKER_03: I have to.
- 40:41SPEAKER_03: I have to believe it.
- 40:43SPEAKER_03: Shall we take another question?
- 40:45SPEAKER_03: Yes, let's go.
- 40:47SPEAKER_03: All right.
- 40:48Eric: It's magic and gum drops and questions on the podcast.
- 40:52Matt: And this one popped out of Reddit, and by popped out I mean I saw it, wrote it down, and now we're answering it.
- 40:58Matt: It's from It's a Me Mario on Reddit.
- 41:01Matt: Ninja Turtles.
- 41:02Matt: Who's delivering the pizza and where are they getting the money?
- 41:06Eric: So the teenager, the teenager mutant ninjutsu tortoises.
- 41:14Matt: Mm-hmm.
- 41:15Eric: Beloved icons of our childhood.
- 41:17Eric: Absolutely.
- 41:18Eric: They I I don't think it's controversial.
- 41:21Eric: I don't mean to generalize against teenager mutant ninjutsu tortoises to say that they really like pizza.
- 41:30Matt: I'm gonna stop you right there, Eric.
- 41:32Matt: They are very specifically turtles.
- 41:35Matt: And turtles are not tortoises, those are different things.
- 41:37Eric: Yeah, except biologically, they look like more like tortoises than they do turtles.
- 41:44Eric: Turtles have fins.
- 41:47Matt: Not all of them have fins.
- 41:49Eric: Not all of them, but turtles are more amphibious.
- 41:53Matt: Don't forget, I am the owner of a turtle that I have had for over two decades.
- 41:58Eric: Fuck.
- 41:58Eric: I always forget you own a turtle.
- 42:01Eric: That's kind of the thing about turtle owners.
- 42:03Eric: You forget that they're there.
- 42:05Matt: You forget that they're there because their parents bought them a pet when they were like four and didn't realize that the average lifespan of that animal was 40 years.
- 42:15Eric: Yeah.
- 42:16Matt: Yeah.
- 42:17Matt: Yeah.
- 42:17Matt: So me and my turtle.
- 42:22Matt: Yeah, absolutely.
- 42:24Matt: Absolutely.
- 42:25Matt: And he's still kicking and he's still going.
- 42:27Matt: He's coming up on 30, as a matter of fact.
- 42:28Eric: What's your turtle's name again?
- 42:30Matt: Jaws.
- 42:31Eric: Jaws.
- 42:32Matt: Yeah.
- 42:33Matt: I was young, and the first thing he did was bite my mom's finger.
- 42:36Matt: So Jaws.
- 42:37Eric: Aww.
- 42:37Eric: Moat.
- 42:38Matt: Yeah.
- 42:39Eric: So, but all that to say that the turtles are boys love pizza.
- 42:44Eric: They eat pizza all the time.
- 42:45Matt: They're simply can't get enough.
- 42:49Eric: Legitimately.
- 42:50Eric: And and uh, and I I think there's a couple things we have to address here.
- 42:54Eric: Who's delivering the pizza is also gonna be informed by like another question I've always had is who is fulfilling these orders in that the turtles order some wild shit on their pizzas, dog?
- 43:10Matt: Oh, don't don't think for one second I don't have the list of pizzas the Ninja Turtles order.
- 43:16Matt: Give me the fucking list.
- 43:17Matt: Ready to go.
- 43:18Matt: But before I get to the list, but before that, I want to say, Eric.
- 43:24Matt: What?
- 43:25Matt: I have this turtle in the first place because I was obsessed with the Ninja Turtles as a boy.
- 43:32Matt: And I know I've gotten some things wrong on this show about the turtles before.
- 43:38Matt: My knowledge has waned a little bit, but I do have the key canonical knowledge about certain things with the turtles in the old noodle of mine.
- 43:48Matt: And let me just say first and foremost, it's a me, Mario.
- 43:51Matt: The turtles don't always order the pizza.
- 43:55Matt: A lot of times, April O'Neill and Casey Jones bring Them the pizza.
- 44:01Matt: Ah, this is true.
- 44:02Matt: Now, beyond that, in the movie, uh, the first movie, when the pizza first gets delivered, it's like in the opening of the sewer.
- 44:11Matt: And they like uh the guy puts the pizza down and there's money there already.
- 44:16Matt: He vi or Michelangelo, I believe, rolls a skateboard out of the shadows and they put it there and they roll it back.
- 44:23Matt: So they've done and in the cartoon, they'd show up to the pizza pit with like a big old trench coat on, and just kids sneaking into a movie theater, that shit.
- 44:34Eric: And and that's the movie is also when I learned words that I've carried with me throughout my whole life.
- 44:39Eric: Wise man say, forgiveness is divine.
- 44:43Eric: Never pay full price for late pizza.
- 44:45Matt: Never pay full price for late pizza.
- 44:48Eric: So but that said, that is true.
- 44:50Eric: They don't always have it delivered straight to them.
- 44:52Eric: They do sometimes, and when they do, there's a sort of awkward, it's it's got some like we ordered takeout to the orgy vibe to it.
- 45:00Eric: Like we don't want to fully we don't want you to see what's going on in here.
- 45:04Eric: So we're just gonna you're gonna interact with a hand and maybe like uh uh like uh glinting eyes from the darkness.
- 45:09Matt: I'm really interested how that was the first thing that came to your mind, and I'd like to explore your past orgies, but we'll save that for another time.
- 45:16Eric: I'm a worldly man.
- 45:18Eric: Got it.
- 45:19Eric: But that all said, even if April O'Neill or Casey Jones, hockey mask man, are bringing them pizza, someone, some company is still making the pizza, and they're making the following pizzas.
- 45:34Eric: Matthew, if you would.
- 45:35Eric: All right, Eric.
- 45:36Eric: I know you just can't wait.
- 45:37Eric: I'm really, I'm really excited for these wild pizzas.
- 45:41Matt: Now, a lot of these are coming from 1987 uh circa cartoon.
- 45:50Matt: Uh all right, so here's a couple.
- 45:53Matt: Uh there's a ton, first of all.
- 45:55Matt: But pepperoni and ice cream, jelly beans and mushroom, anchovies and peanut butter, whipped cream, sashimi, bananas and sausage.
- 46:03Matt: Breakfast cereals.
- 46:05SPEAKER_04: Okay.
- 46:06Matt: Caramel and chocolate fudge.
- 46:08Matt: Michelangelo had it last night.
- 46:10Matt: That's from the episode Return of the Shredder.
- 46:12Matt: Anchovies and gazay leaves, granola and licorice, chocolate fudge with extra garlic, pepperoni and marshmallow, peanut butter and clams, peanut butter and avocado with extra pickles.
- 46:28Matt: I love I love the idea that peanut butter and avocado with extra pickles.
- 46:34Matt: Like it's a given.
- 46:35Eric: Like weird.
- 46:36Eric: Like we're fucking idiots if like it for not assuming the pickles are coming on this avocado pizza.
- 46:44Matt: Michelangelo's least favorite is chocolate chip.
- 46:49Matt: That's it's that's there.
- 46:51Matt: Leonardo's favorite is shredded coconut and sweet pickle.
- 46:55Eric: That honestly sounds like it would slab.
- 46:57Matt: This says the reason why Michelangelo was fired from his cooking show was strawberry surprise with anchovy sauce.
- 47:09Matt: Turtles on the Orient Express just says simply goulash.
- 47:14Eric: Okay.
- 47:15Matt: There's a ton.
- 47:16Matt: You can't.
- 47:17Eric: There's a ton, and they're fucking wild.
- 47:20Matt: They're wild, they're off the wall.
- 47:22Matt: Now, in terms of the company making it, in the first movie, it's Domino's, and after that, they clearly switch sponsors to Pizza Hut because it's Pizza Hut from there on out and Secret of the Ews, and then the and in the third movie.
- 47:33Eric: Oh, I never noticed that.
- 47:34Eric: But in the show, is it ever shown like what is it the same pizza company each time?
- 47:39Matt: It's usually Pizza Pit, I'm pretty sure.
- 47:41Matt: Pizza Pizza.
- 47:42Matt: Like in universe pizza place.
- 47:45Eric: Pizza Pit sounds like the kind of place that would get real fucking avant-garde with their shit.
- 47:54Eric: So P so there's some like I mean, like, are the turtles famous to this place?
- 47:59Eric: Like, are now granted, Pizza Pit might not know that they're serving the teenager mutant ninja ninja toidles, but I have to think they don't know.
- 48:09Eric: They are clearly like the muse to Pizza Pit.
- 48:13Eric: There's some chain smoking line cut in the back of this pizza pit who like has voted.
- 48:22SPEAKER_03: He's like, Yes, finally a challenge.
- 48:26SPEAKER_03: Something of my talents.
- 48:28SPEAKER_03: Something worthy of my talents, exactly.
- 48:32Eric: And do they I wonder, is it a relationship where they call and they're like, here's because April and and Casey like bring them pizza, like it's a given.
- 48:42Eric: Bring the turtles pizza.
- 48:43Matt: Right.
- 48:44Matt: But almost as an offering.
- 48:46Eric: I don't ex like an offering is on the money because I don't think this is a situation where the turtles are being like, yo, April, yo, Casey, can we get a pizza with X, Y, and Z on it?
- 48:58Eric: I think it's kind of like it's it they I think April and Casey go to Pizza Pit and say the same thing every time, which is surprise me.
- 49:09Eric: Yeah.
- 49:10Matt: F and the Do uh they let the chef cook, you know, they let the chef fucking cook herd chef.
- 49:19Matt: Yes.
- 49:21Matt: Heard chef.
- 49:22Matt: They say we trust him.
- 49:26Matt: We trust him to bring us what what we will require.
- 49:30Eric: And is this almost like uh it's starting to take on the form of that kind of relationship where I think the first time they went there, like, surprise me.
- 49:38Eric: He's like, Oh, I'll surprise him all right.
- 49:40Eric: I'll give him a pizza with anchovies and chocolate on it.
- 49:43Eric: And then they fucking loved it.
- 49:46Eric: They love they came back and asked for more.
- 49:50Matt: And he's like said more like that.
- 49:53Eric: Yeah, keep follow that fucking line through your pizza journey.
- 49:59Eric: And now it's turned like it it turns almost like this arms, this escalation, this pizza arms race.
- 50:08Matt: Yeah.
- 50:08Eric: This Italian Cold War.
- 50:11Matt: Now, I I do also want to call out that uh this is from the trivia on the TMNT Pedia page of pizza.
- 50:18Matt: Donate.
- 50:18Matt: Although Donatello stated that a p I don't know that you donate to the fandom.
- 50:24Matt: Donate.
- 50:25Matt: Just all right.
- 50:26Matt: Although Donatello stated that a pizza with 99 different types of cheese would be, quote, culinary impossible.
- 50:35Matt: Johnny D.
- 50:36Matt: Francisco, an Australian pizza maker and the owner of the 400 Gratti Pizzeria, took the challenge and created a 99 cheese pizza after the film.
- 50:50Matt: And there is, in fact, a photo of the real life 99 cheese pizza.
- 50:57Matt: Um let me let me show you, Eric, but we'll put this on the uh the Instagram there.
- 51:02Eric: That's not a za.
- 51:05Eric: This is a zaw.
- 51:07Eric: Oh, okay.
- 51:08Eric: That looks like cheese pizza.
- 51:10Matt: It just looks like a soup of cheese.
- 51:13Eric: I'm but I will say this though, that crust looks perfection.
- 51:16Eric: It looks the man, the man knows his business.
- 51:19Matt: The man knows his business truly.
- 51:21Matt: So we'll put that on the Instagram.
- 51:23Matt: Check it out.
- 51:23Matt: It's also on TMNT Pizzas, uh, TMNT Pedia's pizza page.
- 51:27Eric: So who's making the pizzas?
- 51:29Eric: Who's making the pizzas?
- 51:31Eric: It is Pizza Pit 99 times out of 100.
- 51:34Eric: The other one time, it is the country of Australia.
- 51:37SPEAKER_02: Or Domino's slash Pizza Hut.
- 51:39Eric: Or Domino's slash Pizza Hut sponsors may vary.
- 51:43SPEAKER_02: As the sponsorship changes, yes.
- 51:46unknown: Okay.
- 51:46unknown: Okay.
- 51:47Matt: So that's who's making it.
- 51:48Matt: And as for who's paying for it, how they get the money, folks, these turtles live in the sewers of New York City.
- 51:56Matt: You don't think there's money down there?
- 52:00Matt: Yep.
- 52:01Matt: Not only that, pawn shops on every goddamn street in the town.
- 52:06Matt: They can sell the stuff in the sewer, they can make their own money, and they've got odd jobs from here and there.
- 52:12Matt: You just heard about Michelangelo's cooking show.
- 52:16Eric: Matt, can I hit you with a conspiracy theory?
- 52:19Eric: Let me hit you with this.
- 52:21Eric: Imagine you are an insane pizza chef.
- 52:24Eric: Okay.
- 52:25Eric: You are the fucking you you are the the the the van Gogh of pizza, but you don't, and you have such ideas, such pizza music in your mind that you wish to weave, but you don't have the capital.
- 52:41Eric: You do not have the startup needed to make your pizza dreams come true.
- 52:46Eric: No.
- 52:46Eric: One day you are approached by a man in a hockey mask.
- 52:52Eric: Okay.
- 52:53Eric: Who says that you know he's recognized your pizza talents.
- 52:57Eric: Like you they've heard, you know, they've heard tell of you amongst amongst like the the pizza vagrants of the city.
- 53:04Eric: Sure.
- 53:05Eric: And this man he he will not give you his name, he will not give you his identity, he will give you no information.
- 53:11Eric: All he does is hands you uh an old sweaty sack of smelly nickels and quarters that adds up to like a couple thousand dollars.
- 53:23SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 53:24Eric: Enough money to put a down payment on a little pizza place.
- 53:30Eric: A little pizza pit.
- 53:31Eric: So a little pizza pit.
- 53:33Eric: And it's a play, and you know, we get it real cheap, you know, not a whole lot of questions asked.
- 53:38Eric: That the fact that's where the name comes from.
- 53:40Eric: They're like, ah, nobody wants to buy this place, it's a pit.
- 53:43Eric: Yeah, sure.
- 53:44Eric: And that's where like pizza pit.
- 53:46Eric: Matt, what I'm getting at is I think I like to think there's a world where the turtles were like, we like pizza, we want pizza, we need it all the time, but we're trying to keep a low profile.
- 53:58Eric: But also we live in the sewers and have collected probably tens of thousands of dollars in loose change.
- 54:06Eric: What if we like shadow funded our own pizza place and then got them to deliver to us?
- 54:12Eric: Oh, so I feel like the turtles saw a need, namely pizza, and then like shadow funded crazy pizza man.
- 54:21Matt: Yeah, I I think that's better than suggesting that Casey Jones alone is providing this because after all, no, Casey Jones is just a middleman.
- 54:29Matt: If memory serves, he's he's just a rogue corrections officer.
- 54:35Matt: Uh yeah, he's just a guy.
- 54:37Matt: Like he's the he's the face.
- 54:38Matt: He's just the who's now a renegade uh vigilante with a hockey mask and a hockey stick.
- 54:45Eric: Absolutely.
- 54:46Eric: Yeah, they send Casey, they Casey's just the messenger.
- 54:49Eric: Casey brings the sack full of smelly nickels that pays the rent.
- 54:53Eric: And and and pizza, p pizza Steve, pizza, pizza pat p pizza, pizza paul.
- 54:59Eric: Pizza Paul.
- 55:00Eric: Paul E.
- 55:01Eric: Pizza Pizza Paul.
- 55:02Eric: He just don't ask questions.
- 55:03Eric: He gets paid.
- 55:04Eric: He like the rent's all like he always makes rent to make it.
- 55:07Eric: He just wants to make magic.
- 55:09Eric: He just wants to make he wants to make magic, and the turtles are funding this.
- 55:14Eric: They are laundering money through a former corrections officer to fund an underground pizza restaurant that they then have deliver to themselves.
- 55:23Matt: And listen, Eric, I I don't think you're wrong.
- 55:25Matt: I don't think I don't think you can be proven wrong.
- 55:28Eric: And you represent 50% of my uh sorry, 50% of my audience, if I'm counting myself right now.
- 55:34Eric: So I feel like those numbers speak for themselves.
- 55:36Matt: Yeah, I think they do.
- 55:38Matt: So there you have it, folks.
- 55:40Matt: There's something that we are probably 100% correct about, as are as we are about most things.
- 55:48Matt: But there are apparently, Eric, some things that we are not 100% correct on.
- 55:55Matt: Oh.
- 55:56Matt: And for those things, as we've said in the past, former guest of the show and my wife, Dr.
- 56:03Matt: Lindsay Barr, has been keeping a list of corrections for her own personal corrections segment.
- 56:10Matt: And it's time for us to have Lindsay back on the show for that segment.
- 56:15Matt: So here with this segment is a return guest, of course, oft mentioned in the context of this show.
- 56:33Matt: It is my lovely wife, Dr.
- 56:35Matt: Lindsay Barr.
- 56:36Matt: Welcome to the program, Lindsay.
- 56:38SPEAKER_00: Hi, Lindsay.

- 56:46Matt: Okay.
- 56:46Matt: Um All right.
- 56:48Eric: All right.
- 56:49Matt: Just let the record show.
- 56:50Eric: Um, I just go ahead and make sure we plug that in the Instagram post.
- 56:54Matt: Sure.
- 56:55Matt: Absolutely.
- 56:56Matt: The and uh just so you know, might as well get ahead of this.
- 56:59Matt: The uh cold open uh of this show is all about Eric asking me what I call your parents.
- 57:05Eric: So uh speaking of which, uh Matthew, I'm so happy you you did this transition for me because I I I was trying to find a way to slip it in.
- 57:12Eric: Lindsay, quick question, just answer whatever comes into your head.
- 57:16Eric: How would your dad respond to Matt referring to him by the co by the nickname Slice?
- 57:23SPEAKER_00: Uh, I don't think if my dad uh acknowledged it at all, he'd be like, what's that about?
- 57:30SPEAKER_00: And then Matt would explain some long story, fabricated or not, depending on whatever bet you have going.
- 57:36SPEAKER_00: And then it'd just not be mentioned again.
- 57:38Matt: Fabricated or not.
- 57:40Eric: Tight, tight, tight.
- 57:41Eric: The blast also the propaganda.
- 57:44Eric: I would be I would be remiss before we before we joined you in the lob the lobby.
- 57:48Eric: Well, Lindsay, I commented your very, very, very cozy coat and you said, thank you.
- 57:53Eric: Matt's sister-in-law got it for me.
- 57:55Eric: Is that just your sister?
- 57:58Eric: No, she meant her sister.
- 57:59Eric: No, Matt doesn't have a sister.
- 58:01Eric: Um no, no, no, no, no.
- 58:03Eric: I mean, no, that's what I meant.
- 58:04Eric: Like when you say Matt's sister-in-law, you're talking about your Lindsay Lindsay, your name.
- 58:08Matt: No, no, she's talking about Jamie, my brother's wife.
- 58:12Eric: Brother's wife.
- 58:13SPEAKER_00: His brother's wife.
- 58:15SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 58:15SPEAKER_00: So like I guess she technically I guess so, but it's like by marriage, not by blood, right?
- 58:21SPEAKER_00: But I have this lovely white fleece, and Jamie also bought Moat, Matt's mom, a matching fleece.
- 58:29SPEAKER_00: So there is a Christmas picture of both Moat and I on Christmas morning in our like little, we call them kookaburras, our little kookaburra fleeces.
- 58:36Eric: And that will be on the we'll post that on the Instagram.
- 58:40Eric: Um we probably Yeah, I did not propose.
- 58:43Matt: We probably will not because Lindsay's in.
- 58:45Matt: I don't know how it looks to you, Eric.
- 58:47Matt: She's almost entirely blurry for me.
- 58:50Eric: Oh, no, no.
- 58:50Eric: I'm saying the picture of her and your mom.
- 58:53Matt: Oh, yeah, we can make that happen.
- 58:54Eric: That throw that shit, that Christmas morning pic.
- 58:57Eric: We'll see the engagement on that.
- 58:58Matt: I feel as though we do need to ask Moat's consent to that, and I have a feeling I know which way that decision's gonna go.
- 59:06Matt: But uh but but right here you have your proof, Eric.
- 59:11Matt: She calls her Moat.
- 59:12Eric: Yep, she's in.
- 59:14Matt: She didn't even she didn't even think about it.
- 59:16Matt: Now that said, we have a segment here uh that we don't control.
- 59:21Matt: We don't even know what it's called.
- 59:22Matt: So, Lindsay, what's this segment called?
- 59:24SPEAKER_00: This is called Lindsay's Correction Corner in general.
- 59:29Matt: But today's Lindsay's Correction Corner in general is the name of the segment.
- 59:34SPEAKER_00: No, no, no, no.
- 59:35SPEAKER_00: It's called Lindsay's Correct.
- 59:37SPEAKER_00: It's called Lindsay's Correction Corner asterisk because today it is both a correction corner and a call out corner.
- 59:43SPEAKER_00: They're not all corrections, one is a call out.
- 59:45SPEAKER_00: Now wait a minute.
- 59:46Matt: Hold on.
- 59:46Matt: I don't believe we consented to being called out.
- 59:50Matt: And now the field is even.
- 59:52Matt: Oh, okay.
- 59:52Matt: All right.
- 59:53Matt: Mike, half of the production team just agreed, so I guess we're good.
- 59:58SPEAKER_00: I am calling out Matt, and he is contractually obligated to deal with it, so that's not my problem.
- 1:00:04Matt: Yes.
- 1:00:05Matt: Okay.
- 1:00:05Matt: Not yet, Eric.
- 1:00:06Matt: You just just you wait.
- 1:00:09Matt: All right, so Lindsay, take it away.
- 1:00:12Matt: We're just here.
- 1:00:13Matt: We're honestly here your guests.
- 1:00:15Eric: Yes.
- 1:00:16SPEAKER_00: Okay, I have three that I've collected over a few episodes.
- 1:00:20SPEAKER_00: And so I'd like to start with the earliest chronologically.
- 1:00:22SPEAKER_00: That seems to make the most sense to me.
- 1:00:24SPEAKER_00: So, in episode 65, as you recall, titled An Impediment to the Vibe.
- 1:00:30SPEAKER_00: Uh, and I have minute markers.
- 1:00:31SPEAKER_00: So if you want to do fancy editing and like put the clip in, uh like podcasts do, um, feel free to do the show.
- 1:00:38SPEAKER_00: Oh, is that what the podcasts do?
- 1:00:41SPEAKER_00: Is that what the podcasts do, Lindsay?
- 1:00:43SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah.
- 1:00:44SPEAKER_00: Yeah, when I listen to Office Ladies, when I listen to Office Ladies, the players.
- 1:00:48Matt: And we truly are on the same plane as Office Ladies.
- 1:00:51Matt: So, yeah, sure.
- 1:00:53Matt: Thank you for giving me editing notes.
- 1:00:56Matt: I appreciate it.
- 1:00:57Matt: So, what what are you going for it?
- 1:01:00SPEAKER_00: Okay, episode 65, an impediment to the vibe.
- 1:01:03SPEAKER_00: Matt says at minute 13 and three seconds that NPR is sexy.
- 1:01:10Matt: I take some offense to the fact that you don't think NPR is sexy.
- 1:01:13SPEAKER_00: No, I mean.
- 1:01:15SPEAKER_00: I would like it to be known for the good of the order and in this official record that Matt does not think NPR is sexy.
- 1:01:23SPEAKER_00: Matt, in fact, makes fun of me often for listening to NPR so much on my radio.
- 1:01:29Matt: That's the Matt! That's not entirely true.
- 1:01:32Matt: Matthew.
- 1:01:33Matt: That's not entirely true.
- 1:01:35Matt: It's true that I don't often listen to NBR.
- 1:01:38Eric: Look, he's getting defensive.
- 1:01:39Eric: He's getting defensive.
- 1:01:40Eric: Mm-hmm.
- 1:01:41Eric: Mm-hmm.
- 1:01:42Eric: Mm-hmm.
- 1:01:42SPEAKER_04: How could you?
- 1:01:43Eric: Eric, Eric.
- 1:01:44SPEAKER_03: What?
- 1:01:45Matt: Just lean in real close here.
- 1:01:46Matt: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 1:01:47Matt: Can you do me a favor?
- 1:01:48unknown: Yeah.
- 1:01:49Matt: Shut the fuck up.
- 1:01:50Matt: Okay.
- 1:01:51Matt: Okay, I got you.
- 1:01:53Eric: Hey, hey, Lindsay.
- 1:01:54Eric: Hey, Lindsay, lean in real quick.
- 1:01:56Eric: Hey, look, I can't I can't fucking believe this guy.
- 1:01:58Eric: I I just I who does he think he is?
- 1:02:01Matt: I just want to say I do make fun of you for it the the frequency with which it pops up, but that's an old bit.
- 1:02:08Matt: I haven't done that bit in a long time.
- 1:02:12Eric: That bit is so like 10 episodes ago.
- 1:02:15Eric: No, no, no.
- 1:02:15Eric: That's that bit's like five years ago.
- 1:02:19SPEAKER_00: It's not five years ago.
- 1:02:21SPEAKER_00: That's not five years ago.
- 1:02:22SPEAKER_00: Because you uh always make fun of me for listening to NPR so much, which I haven't been doing as much recently, to your point, and admittedly, because I've been listening to so many podcasts, this one included.
- 1:02:32SPEAKER_00: But now that I drive a lot back and forth to work, I am listening to NPR again.
- 1:02:37SPEAKER_00: And you would always call me crazy for either A, listening to NPR so much, or B, sometimes just not listening to anything in the car.
- 1:02:43Matt: Well, you are crazy for not listening to N.
- 1:02:45Matt: And Eric, I want to run this by you.
- 1:02:47Matt: She will go sometimes like an hour-long drive, listening to silence.
- 1:02:55Matt: Just the road.
- 1:02:57Matt: The road and her anxieties.
- 1:03:00Matt: That's the only music she needs.
- 1:03:02Eric: I'd like to welcome everyone to this segment within a segment, Poach's marriage counseling.
- 1:03:07Matt: Um and what's funny is on my screen at least, you are between us.
- 1:03:13unknown: Am I?
- 1:03:15SPEAKER_00: Yeah, me too.
- 1:03:16SPEAKER_00: Calm down.
- 1:03:16SPEAKER_00: Calm down.
- 1:03:17Eric: Okay, now now let let's let's use our listening voices.
- 1:03:20Eric: Oh man.
- 1:03:22Eric: Lindsay, please do continue.
- 1:03:23Eric: I love how this is going.
- 1:03:24Eric: Okay.
- 1:03:25Eric: Yeah, I'll I'll I'll shut up.
- 1:03:26Eric: I'll shut up.
- 1:03:27SPEAKER_00: We can we we can get into the nuances of my driving later, but I just do want to say, similarly, for the record, that sometimes I just want to be connected to what's happening around me, so I don't listen to anything in the car.
- 1:03:39SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 1:03:39SPEAKER_00: And I think that's my next correction.
- 1:03:41unknown: Yep.
- 1:03:42SPEAKER_00: Thank you so much.
- 1:03:43SPEAKER_00: Um also, that has been put in the record.
- 1:03:46SPEAKER_00: Poach unequivocally supports me.
- 1:03:48SPEAKER_00: My husband does not.
- 1:03:49SPEAKER_00: Um, episode 68.
- 1:03:52SPEAKER_00: Episode 68 titled I'm gonna be a problem.
- 1:03:55SPEAKER_00: This is a correction.
- 1:03:57SPEAKER_00: In at uh minute 25 and 32 seconds, you are discussing whether or not uh the car's lightning McQueen would uh want car insurance or life insurance.
- 1:04:10SPEAKER_00: And there's a question about the ambulance, Dr.
- 1:04:14SPEAKER_00: Damage.
- 1:04:15SPEAKER_00: And someone said to put respect on Dr.
- 1:04:19SPEAKER_00: Damage's name because he has a PhD.
- 1:04:22Eric: The existence of the ambulance character has kind of fucked up my whole Dr.
- 1:04:26SPEAKER_02: Damage, please.
- 1:04:27SPEAKER_02: Some respect on his name.
- 1:04:29Eric: Dr.
- 1:04:29Eric: Damage.
- 1:04:30Eric: He has a PhD.
- 1:04:32Eric: PhD.
- 1:04:33Eric: Which is also which begs so many questions.
- 1:04:35Eric: So he was born an ambulance, I assume.
- 1:04:38Eric: So it's just a like he you this is your job.
- 1:04:42SPEAKER_00: Dr.
- 1:04:42SPEAKER_00: Damage would most likely have an MD if he is a doctor, a medical doctor.
- 1:04:48SPEAKER_00: And he could have a PhD, perhaps, but that would be pretty rare.
- 1:04:53Eric: And and you know what?
- 1:04:54Eric: In in in in service of transparency and culpability, as soon as you said someone said put respect on his name, I guarantee goddamn tea, that was me.
- 1:05:09SPEAKER_02: Dr.
- 1:05:09SPEAKER_02: Damage, please.
- 1:05:10SPEAKER_02: Some respect on his name.
- 1:05:12SPEAKER_02: Doctor damage uh I'm pretty sure I was.
- 1:05:17Eric: I'm gonna I I will come forward and I will say because what what am I gonna do?
- 1:05:22Eric: Tell a doctor she's wrong about doctors?
- 1:05:27unknown: Yeah.
- 1:05:27Eric: What do I look like?
- 1:05:29Eric: No, no, no.
- 1:05:30Eric: I didn't know.
- 1:05:30Eric: No, I'm gonna admit this is a mistake.
- 1:05:32Matt: I didn't say shit about that.
- 1:05:33Eric: I'm gonna admit I'm gonna pay the piper.
- 1:05:36Matt: This is an actual correction, as opposed to me saying NPR is sexy and then Lindsay claiming in our private life, I make fun of her for listening to NPR.
- 1:05:49SPEAKER_00: I I will say Yeah, because so much of our private life has been kept outside of the bounds of this podcast.
- 1:05:57Eric: Which, which by the way, I am Shocked we have not done an entire segment on sleepy Lindsay Barr yet.
- 1:06:04Eric: Just gonna throw that out there.
- 1:06:05Eric: It's sleeping Lindsay Barr.
- 1:06:06Eric: Sleeping.
- 1:06:07Eric: Hey, who's doing the correcting here?
- 1:06:09Eric: Doctor?
- 1:06:10Eric: Eric.
- 1:06:11Eric: First of all, I am allowed to correct you whenever I want.
- 1:06:15Eric: This is true.
- 1:06:16Eric: You have this right.
- 1:06:17Eric: We are we are hetero lifemates.
- 1:06:19Eric: Absolutely.
- 1:06:20Eric: Um yeah, uh, I stand corrected.
- 1:06:24SPEAKER_00: Uh yes.
- 1:06:26SPEAKER_00: You do stand corrected at minute 2532.
- 1:06:28SPEAKER_02: Great.
- 1:06:29SPEAKER_00: In episode 68.
- 1:06:30SPEAKER_02: All right.
- 1:06:31SPEAKER_00: And uh the final correction, it comes in episode 72.
- 1:06:36SPEAKER_00: I say yes, Jan.
- 1:06:38SPEAKER_00: Right.
- 1:06:38SPEAKER_00: So this is pretty recent.
- 1:06:39Eric: Yeah, it is.
- 1:06:40SPEAKER_00: Uh you two collectively, when you're talking about Peter Brady.
- 1:06:46SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 1:06:46SPEAKER_04: Okay.
- 1:06:47SPEAKER_00: Mention that he has brown eyes, and he is the only Brady child to have brown eyes.
- 1:06:53SPEAKER_02: Okay.
- 1:06:54SPEAKER_00: And then it is suggested that Peter should get uh in the podcast, you say a 23 and me.
- 1:07:01SPEAKER_02: I did say that, yes.
- 1:07:02SPEAKER_00: Because Carol needs to Carol needs to be uh answering for why Peter has brown eyes, with the implication that she might have stepped out on her marriage.
- 1:07:13SPEAKER_00: Right?
- 1:07:13SPEAKER_00: We recall this?
- 1:07:14Matt: We do.
- 1:07:14Eric: We uh I do hold on checking with my counsel.
- 1:07:17Eric: Matt, do we recall that?
- 1:07:19Matt: Eric?
- 1:07:20Matt: The memory bank of the podcast recalls that.
- 1:07:23Eric: Oh okay, yes.
- 1:07:24Eric: We recall this.
- 1:07:26Matt: Peter is also the only one in the family with brown eyes.
- 1:07:30Matt: All the others have green or blue.
- 1:07:32Matt: Oh.
- 1:07:33Matt: Doesn't that say something, Peter?
- 1:07:36Eric: Blonde haired, blue-eyed.
- 1:07:39Matt: No, he's not.
- 1:07:40Eric: No, no, no, no.
- 1:07:40Eric: He's not.
- 1:07:41Eric: No, no, no.
- 1:07:41Eric: I'm saying for the rest of the break.
- 1:07:42Eric: Come on.
- 1:07:43Eric: I'm side-eyeing Carol a little bit.
- 1:07:45Eric: Like, when did you get to the States, Carol?
- 1:07:48Eric: We might need to have a conversation.
- 1:07:51SPEAKER_04: Where have you come from, Frau Brady?
- 1:07:54Matt: No, no, no.
- 1:07:55Matt: I yes, but also, Peter, you might you might want to take a 23 in me.
- 1:08:00Matt: That's all I'm trying to do.
- 1:08:00Matt: That's all I'm saying.
- 1:08:01Matt: You might want to take a 23 in me and see what happens.
- 1:08:03SPEAKER_00: I do, I do feel like I'm teaching my undergrads right now.
- 1:08:06SPEAKER_00: Do we recall from last class that we talked about?
- 1:08:08SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 1:08:09SPEAKER_00: Anyway.
- 1:08:09SPEAKER_00: She's about to tell us to say more about it.
- 1:08:13unknown: Speak more on that.
- 1:08:15SPEAKER_00: Um so what's interesting about your uh wrongness here is that Peter is not Carol's child.
- 1:08:24SPEAKER_00: Carol is Peter's stepmother.
- 1:08:26Matt: Yeah, sure.
- 1:08:26Matt: You're right.
- 1:08:27SPEAKER_00: Oh shit.
- 1:08:27SPEAKER_00: That goddamn.
- 1:08:28Matt: Yeah, you're absolutely right.
- 1:08:30Matt: Yeah, like it's indefensible.
- 1:08:32Matt: Yeah, no, that's that was straight up wrong.
- 1:08:35Matt: We were wrong.
- 1:08:36Eric: How did we fuck that up?
- 1:08:37Matt: Eric, we we made that.
- 1:08:38SPEAKER_00: Therefore, you are indicting an unnamed woman, namely whoever whatever the husband's name is, I can't remember.
- 1:08:47SPEAKER_00: Uh his ex-wife in stepping out on their marriage, which I suppose is important, but perhaps narratively less consequential, seeing as they're already divorced.
- 1:08:56Eric: Damn, we came down on Carol real hard, didn't we?
- 1:09:00Matt: Yeah, you did.
- 1:09:01Matt: Actually, as I recall, it was just a little aside, and we said maybe take a 23andMe and continued on.
- 1:09:08Matt: I as I recall, that as opposed to coming down real hard on Carol.
- 1:09:13Eric: I do want to say I appreciate that you came at us on this and not the fact that we soft low-key accused Carol of being a serial killer for like 15 weeks.
- 1:09:23Matt: We did do that, and that I don't think can be disproven.
- 1:09:27SPEAKER_00: I can't fact check bluster.
- 1:09:29Matt: We do stand corrected, although bluster.
- 1:09:34Matt: I do want to just point out in my own defense a little bit.
- 1:09:38Matt: I do think Peter, still not the worst idea to do to 23andMe.
- 1:09:42Matt: Find out who you're talking about.
- 1:09:43Matt: Not the worst idea.
- 1:09:45Matt: Your brothers don't have brown eyes now, do they?
- 1:09:48Eric: But we can't be coming after Carol like no.
- 1:09:50Matt: We were wrong to come after Carol.
- 1:09:52Eric: Um, and you're the memory bank of the podcast.
- 1:09:55Eric: I'm the emotional intelligence of the podcast.
- 1:09:58Eric: Excuse me?
- 1:09:59Eric: See, there it is.
- 1:10:00Eric: That was a very rude reaction.
- 1:10:04Eric: Damn it.
- 1:10:05Eric: I walked right into it.
- 1:10:07Matt: Aha!
- 1:10:08SPEAKER_00: So all that to say, stop blaming women.
- 1:10:11Matt: That, you know, Eric, this is this is shocking.
- 1:10:14Matt: Oh my god.
- 1:10:15Matt: Eric, after after us, two feminists, d discussed a feminist anthem early in this episode.
- 1:10:22Matt: Now we are being accused of dare I say it, Eric, being the dogs.
- 1:10:27Eric: We are who let the dogs out?
- 1:10:29Eric: We are the dogs, and we let ourselves out dogs with thumbs.
- 1:10:32Eric: We're just dogs.
- 1:10:33Eric: We're nothing but dogs with thumbs.
- 1:10:36Eric: Dr.
- 1:10:36Eric: Lindsay Barr.
- 1:10:39Eric: Thank you.
- 1:10:40Matt: Thank you.
- 1:10:40Eric: Thank you for making us thank you for making us good.
- 1:10:43Matt: Yes, thank you.
- 1:10:44Matt: Thank you for making us keeping us on the on the tr the right path.
- 1:10:48Eric: On the on the mostly straight and narrow.
- 1:10:51SPEAKER_00: I would say it is my pleasure, but it is labor, so it's fine.
- 1:10:58Matt: It is labor to do this segment that you pitched.
- 1:11:02Matt: I just want to say.
- 1:11:04SPEAKER_00: Well, okay, okay.
- 1:11:05SPEAKER_00: Did you give any context for how this got pitched?
- 1:11:09Matt: No.
- 1:11:10Matt: Well, back in the day, we we did say that you were you were just constantly correcting things after uh listening to the episode.
- 1:11:17Matt: But ahead of your arrival in this episode, no, I didn't give the context.
- 1:11:20SPEAKER_00: Give me a Okay, well, all you really need to know is that Matt an episode comes out, and Matt basically wakes me up on the side of the bed and is like, did you listen yet?
- 1:11:30Eric: That's not true.
- 1:11:30Eric: Like, that's not true.
- 1:11:32Eric: He's like bumping, he's like tapping you on the forehead like a cat.
- 1:11:36SPEAKER_00: That's basically true.
- 1:11:37Matt: And so it's been out for three hours and you've been asleep.
- 1:11:40Matt: Have you listened?
- 1:11:41Matt: That's not true.
- 1:11:41Matt: I don't see that.
- 1:11:42SPEAKER_00: That is what that is what happens to me.
- 1:11:44SPEAKER_00: That's what happens to me.
- 1:11:45Matt: Lindsay, Lindsay.
- 1:11:47Matt: I love you.
- 1:11:48Matt: My darling.
- 1:11:49Matt: Thank you.
- 1:11:50Matt: Eric, Eric, please, one second.
- 1:11:52Matt: I need to speak to my wife.
- 1:11:54Matt: Now, Lindsay, you you and I both know that that is not a bit that I do.
- 1:12:01Matt: But you better believe it's gonna be.
- 1:12:06Matt: You better believe this episode is.
- 1:12:08SPEAKER_00: You should not.
- 1:12:09Matt: I you should not.
- 1:12:10Matt: It was pitched to me by my wife.
- 1:12:12Matt: I'm contractually obligated to do it.
- 1:12:14Eric: Now, Matt.
- 1:12:15Eric: Stay out of this, Eric.
- 1:12:16Eric: Now, Matt, Dr.
- 1:12:17Eric: Lindsay Barr.
- 1:12:18Eric: Do we have our listen?
- 1:12:20Eric: I know we have our headphones and our and our AirPods in, but do we have our listening pods in?
- 1:12:25Eric: That's just one I want to make sure that we're we're being heard, we're being seen.
- 1:12:29Matt: Yes, absolutely, Eric.
- 1:12:30Matt: In fact, I like to say that I listen like spring and talk like June.
- 1:12:37Eric: Very good, Matt.
- 1:12:38Eric: Thank you.
- 1:12:39Eric: Very good.
- 1:12:40SPEAKER_00: Okay, so okay, back to what I was saying.
- 1:12:42SPEAKER_00: So Matt asked me really early on.
- 1:12:44SPEAKER_00: Uh, he always is like, Did you listen to the podcast?
- 1:12:46SPEAKER_00: He doesn't do it right when I wake up, but early.
- 1:12:49SPEAKER_00: Uh, do you listen to the podcast?
- 1:12:51SPEAKER_00: Thank you.
- 1:12:51SPEAKER_00: And I usually say no because I have a very particular order that I listen to my podcasts in.
- 1:12:56SPEAKER_00: I have podcasts that come out every day of the week and it falls into an order.
- 1:12:59Matt: I respect it.
- 1:13:00SPEAKER_00: You can't, yeah.
- 1:13:01SPEAKER_00: That happens.
- 1:13:01SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 1:13:02SPEAKER_00: And so usually when I am listening to it, I'm driving or I'm away from the house.
- 1:13:06SPEAKER_00: And so I just start collecting things because Matt will inevitably ask, what'd you think of the podcast?
- 1:13:09SPEAKER_00: Do you have any notes, any feedback?
- 1:13:11SPEAKER_00: And of course, I don't know.
- 1:13:16SPEAKER_00: I don't know that the world would call me a pessimist, but I do tend to focus on the negatives.
- 1:13:22SPEAKER_00: And so I collect a Rolodex of things that I want to correct.
- 1:13:26Eric: The world wouldn't, but we certainly would.
- 1:13:29Eric: Your mind, Alice, has a room full of Rolodexes.
- 1:13:32SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 1:13:33SPEAKER_00: And so I thought I my my my brain is always like, oh yeah, this thing was wrong or this thing was incorrect, or this is something to fix, to give that feedback.
- 1:13:42SPEAKER_00: And so it came from this that, you know, I don't know, it started about a conversation about olive oil or something stupid.
- 1:13:48SPEAKER_00: And I was like, I have a lot of corrections that come into these things.
- 1:13:50SPEAKER_00: It didn't wasn't olive oil, but you know, something non-consequential.
