• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Joe was right, it's one more thing. What I'm one
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: more thing.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: Something you have repeated on the show for many, many years.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: Is definitely right. But before we get to that.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: One of the most interesting things that happened in the
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: world to me in the last twenty four hours is
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: around the whole Iran war thing. Donald Trump threatening to
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: kill the negotiators for Iran, Yes, before they could get
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: back to their country. I will kill you in Switzerland
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: or in the air or something I guess he was.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: And how it got almost zero news coverage.
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: Now wild?
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: Uh?
• 0:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it is both wild and unwild?
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: Is it a wild?
• 0:50
  Speaker 4: If it were anybody but Trump who says crazy crap
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: all the time?
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: Is that because you would not have a headline on
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: day thirty of Boy Cribs Wolf last night if he'd
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: cry I cried the previous twenty nine ninth Yeah, yeah, exactly.
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's part of it. I'm sure Marco slapped his
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: forehead and said, do I even tell him what that
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: would do to international relations? Or No? Probably not.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: Do you think there was even the tiniest bit of
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: I would follow through on this to that threat?
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: He was probably Okay, So what you're asking is did
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: he understand he was saying something ridiculous that he would
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: never follow through on when he said it, or was
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: there an inkling of intent? Is that what you're asking?
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, let me read it to you. I will use
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: the actual word since we're doing a podcast. Yes, Iran
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: threatened to close the strait of horror moves at the negotiations.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: So you got some Iranian delegates there in Geneva, Switzerland negotiating.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: They threatened to close the strait of horror moves. Trump's
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: response was, you close it and you won't have a country.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: You won't even make it back to your fucking country.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: Wow, that's uh, that's a negotiation that's hit rocky terrain there.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: All right, here's the thing you've always been right about.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: And I don't know who said it first, but the
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: whole uh, if you dissect humor.
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, it's like a dissecting a frog that the
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: frog dies of it.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: So does the joke. I can't see.
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: Some woman, some female comedian said that once and I
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: was like, wow, that's a good point. And it's generally
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: it's done by people who intentionally want to pretend it's
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: not humor, and it's some you know, political statement that
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: they can then condemn you and punish you for.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: So I was kind of looking forward to it. This
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: was a piece in the Washington Post. Science suggests cringeworthy
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: dad jokes may serve a real purpose. This was for
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: Father's Day yesterday. Humor is a surprisingly important aspect of
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: parenting in that silly one liner may help strengthen the
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: bond between fathers and children. And it's just already like
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: took the fun out of it for me.
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: Oh, the describe me having to describe psychologically how it
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: affects the relationship between a parent and their child to
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: tell these jokes, and then it's got jokes inners person between.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: But having surrounded it with this diagnosis from psychiatrists about
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: why it.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Works, it takes all the fun out of it for me.
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, because it does because the humans have always
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: done that. Leave it alone, and if you're in that
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: field and you study it, great, come to your conclusions
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: and keep it to yourself.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: Research suggests that humor may play a meaningful role in parenting,
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: and shared laughter may help strengthen father child bonds. Research
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: suggests money have you ever had kids, have you ever
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: hung around with your kids in the car, at the
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: dinner table or whatever, and like, you're joking and laughing,
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: and you need to research to suggest that maybe that's
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: kind of a cool thing between y'all.
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: Right, a lot of folks at the universities haven't. The
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: number of conservative women on campuses is practically zero. I
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: was reading about that the other day. And conservative women
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: are much much, much more likely to be moms than
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: progressive women. So yeah, there are very there. Comparatively, there's
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: an insanely low number of college academics who have children
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: compared to the population. Anyway, back to you, and you're
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: rooting of humor.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: It's a fun genre of humor because it's welcoming, it's
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: kind of affable, it's good nature and lighthearted, said Paul Sylvia,
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: a professor of psychology at the University of North Carolina. Really,
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: while there are a few studies on dad jokes themselves,
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: you know why, because there's really no need to study
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: this now for any reason whatsoever.
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: You wasting your time and your degree.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: Sylvia, the researcher has been analyzed and analyzing them to
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: to determine what makes some funnier than others. He'll probably
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: put out a paper about how it increases the bond
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: between parents and kids to tell these jokes, and it
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: will write this, and it will get published in several things,
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: and then he'll be a published researcher. And as we
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: all know, none of these papers ever get read or
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: cited by anyone. They don't need to accomplish anything.
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: He will be cited as a humor expert, though, when
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: The New York Times tries to ruin somebody's career for
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: making a joke.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: In a preprint of a preprint of his study, Sylvia
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: and his colleagues analyzed more than thirty two thousand jokes
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: from Subreddit and identified three qualities that appeared to make
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: up the best dad jokes. Puns exce on literalization and
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: pedantic humor.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: He said, some of the most.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: Classic ones use a pun so long boiling water, you
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: will be missed.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: Im lst. I get it.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: Literalization, which turns a common concept or expression into a
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: physical reality, is while widely used as well. I'm worried
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: about the calendar. It's days are numbered with pedantic humor,
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: this PhD said. The jokes are sets up the joke
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: and then derails it.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: I've always liked this one.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: What's blue and smells like red paint?
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Blue paint? Always thought that was a good joke.
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: Ah, the derail job, I love it.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: Yep, there a recipe for humor, the researcher said.
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: Again, nobody wanted to hear this. Nobody wants to it's
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: not necessary. Using rash, why does it feel so good
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: to kiss somebody you love?
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: Who cares? Researchers suggest I enjoy the feeling blah and
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: dorphin flah blah blah, shut up and kiss me. Using
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: Reddit comments and up votes as popularity metrics, because that's
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: what you got to do. Sylvia determined that when it
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: comes to a solid dad joke structure, people found the
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: question and answer framing funnier, such as did you hear
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: about the two thieves who stole a calendar? They each
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: got six months? Very amusing and in a survey portion
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: of the study, people reported that they connected more of
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: the jokes that used family characters such as mother's, father's, brothers, sister, grandparents,
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: and animals. Topics such as nature, health care, and money resonated,
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: whereas those about politics, religion, and war did not.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: Oh really, so, don't use as.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: A topic matter for your dad joke with your kid, war, religion, politics.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: Thanks for that heads up, and.
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: We found in our study that dad jokes relating to
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: exchange traded funds really stiffed. Again, thank you for your
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: valuable research. Wow, dad jokes about death? What the hell, dude?
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: Or politics?
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: And then at lists here, what are supposedly good dad jokes?
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: Why does the Danish military put barcodes on its ships
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: so they can scan da native Scandinavian? I got scan?
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: Oh Scandinavian? Okay, I didn't right. I'm too dumb for
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: that one. How do you catch a unique bird? Unique
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: up on it?
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: I'd never heard this one before.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: This is pretty funny. I was wondering why the frisbee
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: kept getting bigger and bigger. Then it hit me, Oh
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: that's so good. Oh oh that's beautiful. I wish I
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: had a collection of these when my kids were little.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: This one's The writing on this one is good. Yeah.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: The researcher, the PhD Sylvia, said, the most notorious dad
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: jokes have an almost irritating quality to them is a
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: way they shake up the conversation and engage people. Such
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: is when a child says, Dad, I'm hungry Hi hungry,
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: I'm dad. Sure has an almost irritating quality.
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: All right, true, my mom used to do that at
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: say one, I've.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: Done that too, but.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: Without even realizing that it had almost irritating quality. That
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: shook up the conversation in a pleasant way. Humor is
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: a playful social glue. I've noticed that makes everyone feel
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: a little bit better. Yes, I'm a human being also.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: And a little more.
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: Wow, it really is explaining humans to humans.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: We know it makes people a little more at ease
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: and closer to the people they're with.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: Yes, yes it does.
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: Wow. When they print this shit jealous, probably got an
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: anti boy PhDs write long papers about it and get
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: them inserted into peer reviewed periodicals. Often jokes cause people
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: to smile and or laugh, which makes them happy.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: Oh, humor says here human plays an important role in
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: our health, relationships and well being. Research shows Thank god
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: you've got the research, because if you just made that
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: up off the top of your head, can you back.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: Up that statement that humor makes people happier?
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: The academizing of human experience. Sometimes it's good and helpful
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: helping an addictions, say, or an abusive relationship or something
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: like that. But explaining why there are jokes.
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: Steven sultan Off, a clinical psychologist and professor at Pepperdine University,
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: calls mirth the emotional uplift of humor.
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: Sure, he's a long day.
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: Even when a joke doesn't elicit a gofa, people may
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: still experience the benefit by feeling uplifted by it.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: He said. We know, yes, we know.
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: There's also a cognitive response known as wit that it
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: can occur with humor.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: Who is this?
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: This is killing me?
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: To understand a joke, people often need to shift their perspective,
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: and studies suggests that this cognitive reframing can help regulate emotions.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: And cope with stress.
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: Now that's an interesting concept. That's that's next level.
• 11:22
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: I'd almost like to hear about that cognitive reframing and
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: how that is.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: We've certainly all felt that though.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: When somebody, you know, cracks a joke in a stressful.
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: Situation, right, yeah, everything changes, Like you've literally changed your perspective,
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: You've moved over here. That's that's okay, Finally something interesting.
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: I mean, it's self evident, but like I said, it's
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: at least intriguing.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: And he ended with this researcher from Pepperdine. Never trust
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: an atom. They make up everything.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: I get it, I get it.
• 11:56
  Speaker 5: This was my dad's favorite dad joke. He didn't follow
• 11:58
  Speaker 5: good advice, But why did the chicken cross the road?
• 12:01
  Speaker 5: Because he was being chased by inflation in the economy.
• 12:06
  Speaker 5: It wasn't very funny.
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: He feared death.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: I was wondering to myself, why does that.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: Frisbee keep getting bigger and bigger?
• 12:13
  Speaker 5: And then it hit me, well, I guess that's it.
