- 0:00Matt: I don't know.
- 0:01Matt: I don't think people are as afraid of cars as they should be.
- 0:05Matt: I agree with that.
- 0:07Matt: You know what I mean?
- 0:08Matt: I mean, these pedestrians, myself included, we just walk out on a crosswalk.
- 0:14Matt: And have you do you give the stare?
- 0:18Matt: The stare.
- 0:19Matt: Yeah, you know the stare.
- 0:20Matt: When you're like walking across a crosswalk or something, and a car's coming like faster than you think it should be.
- 0:29Matt: Do you ever give them the little eyes that say like, come at me, bro?
- 0:33Eric: The stare.
- 0:35Eric: Uh no, I rush I I I have never walked across a crosswalk in my life.
- 0:43Eric: I jog.
- 0:44Eric: No, I jog across them.
- 0:46Eric: Like I feel like a burden the second my foot hits pavement.
- 0:49Eric: Sorry, I'm sorry.
- 0:50Eric: Like I look like my bad.
- 0:51Eric: I I wave at like fucking every car, but hey, thank you.
- 0:55Eric: Oh my god, thank you.
- 0:56Eric: Thank you so much for not killing me with your 10-ton death machine.
- 0:59Eric: No, I'm guilty of the stare for sure.
- 1:02Matt: Like I'm gonna do something to the car should it decide to come barreling forward.
- 1:07Matt: Okay, okay.
- 1:08Eric: I don't know why.
- 1:09Eric: It's a it's a toxic trait, I'm sure.
- 1:11Eric: No, no, I've had and I I know exactly what you're talking about because I've had it done to me.
- 1:15Eric: Mm-hmm.
- 1:16Matt: But like it's not even necessarily like um, you don't even need a furrowed eyebrow.
- 1:22Matt: It's just like the eyes.
- 1:24Matt: Yeah, it's that pierce the driver's gaze.
- 1:27Eric: Like they look at you like, do you have the will?
- 1:30SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah.
- 1:31SPEAKER_00: Like, are you strong enough to do what you want to do?
- 1:35Matt: Like, where does it come from?
- 1:37Matt: Where does it come from?
- 1:39Matt: And I'm not I'm not alone in this this bad trait, but also there are people who don't do the stare necessarily, who just like walk on out like expecting cars to stop.
- 1:51Eric: Yeah, they just like they do not have because I'm I might say something not at a crosswalk, just like across a street.
- 1:58Eric: I I I will say legally, pedestrians always have the right of way, always.
- 2:04Eric: That's true.
- 2:05Eric: Ethically, uh-huh, not always.
- 2:08Eric: There are times when I've seen like, you know, they're being a dick, and no amount of awareness on my part is prepared for the human being who's just gonna fucking YOLO out into the street.
- 2:22Matt: And I'm so glad that you you brought up the YOLO people because back in uh this was a number of years ago when I was still regularly running because my back still worked.
- 2:34Matt: I was out for like a morning run before going to work.
- 2:38Matt: That I I was very briefly one of these people.
- 2:41Matt: Uh and so I was running in the home stretch back to my apartment outside of like a little shopping center area, and this woman just started walking across the street, and I saw her from like a mile away.
- 2:59Matt: I shouldn't say that because that could be realistic, but like meters away.
- 3:02Matt: Like I was well Ooh, switch to metric.
- 3:05Matt: Okay.
- 3:05Matt: Yeah, you know, like I don't know, 20, 20 to 50 yards out, right?
- 3:09Matt: Yeah.
- 3:09Matt: So she just starts walking up, and I'm uh closing the gap, obviously.
- 3:13Matt: She's walking like towards me, but traffic is coming.
- 3:16Matt: It's morning traffic, right?
- 3:18Matt: It's fairly hectic.
- 3:20Matt: This car is coming right at her and is like hits the brakes, is coming down, beeps, like does the lay on the horn kind of beep.
- 3:32Matt: Yeah.
- 3:32Matt: And this woman, while staring straight at the driver, walks right in front of this clearly not able-to-stop vehicle and boom, gets fucking hit and goes down.
- 3:46Matt: And I am the key witness to this.
- 3:50Matt: Because by this point, I even it was one of those things where like I'm running, I think I had headphones in, and I see this woman, and I was just like, hey, hey, stop! Whoa, whoa, whoa.
- 4:00Matt: Like, and she gets gets hit by the car.
- 4:02Matt: And then the driver comes out and comes bare, like briefly checks on the woman who's crawling across the street now, trying to get to the curb because she definitely broke a hip.
- 4:14Matt: And so she's like crawling her way across the thing.
- 4:18Matt: The driver's like, there's another lane between where she got hit and me, right?
- 4:24Matt: It's like a it's four-lane road.
- 4:26Matt: So she's like crawling the other thing.
- 4:28Matt: The driver's trying to stop other oncoming traffic while already yelling to me very frantically, like, you saw me try to stop.
- 4:37Matt: You she just walked right after him.
- 4:39Matt: And so I was like, hey, he's like gesturing to her as she's crawling.
- 4:43Eric: You saw what she did.
- 4:44Matt: Uh yeah, he literally was doing that.
- 4:46Matt: And I came over and I was like, dude, she walked, she walked right in front of you.
- 4:51Matt: I was like, do not.
- 4:52Matt: He was like, You're gonna you're gonna stay for the car.
- 4:54Matt: I was like, I'm I I'm calling it.
- 4:56Matt: And that's when he sent me the money, right?
- 4:57Matt: No, that's when he no, no, no, no.
- 5:04Matt: The soundproofing by itself, yeah.
- 5:07Matt: So no, he's so he's like very frantic.
- 5:10Matt: Of course he is.
- 5:11Matt: He just hit someone with the car.
- 5:13Matt: But he did everything he could to stop from hitting this person, and that's exactly what I told the cop when he showed up.
- 5:21Matt: But I was like, and so the cop was asking me questions.
- 5:24Matt: I was like, I don't know what to tell you, man.
- 5:26Matt: He he walked right out in front of she walked right in front of this car.
- 5:29Eric: That's fucking well, because I know like there are people who will try to scam, like that.
- 5:34Eric: That's why you see a lot more dash game, but people will like toss themselves in front of cars trying to get a payday.
- 5:39Matt: I she seemed genuinely shocked she got hit by this car.
- 5:43Eric: I or she might have just been going into shock.
- 5:47Matt: And again, not a crosswalk, just she just was walking, she just was like, uh, this is where I cross.
- 5:53Matt: I've been to CVS now, I've got my worders, and I'm crossing the street.
- 5:58Matt: Holy shit, that is wild.
- 5:59Matt: Well, I hope she's okay.
- 6:01Matt: Yeah, I mean, I obviously have no idea.
- 6:04Matt: Yeah, I I I I I'll tell you this.
- 6:08Matt: She really fucked up my 5k time.
- 6:10Matt: God damn it.
- 6:28Matt: Well, hello there, and welcome to another episode of You Didn't Ask for This, the podcast, answering life's least pressing questions.
- 6:38Matt: My name's Matt Shay.
- 6:39Matt: My name's Eric Poach.
- 6:41Matt: Eric, how are you today on the morn of this 43rd episode of ours?
- 6:47Matt: Ooh.
- 6:48Eric: Um, yeah, no, I'm doing good.
- 6:50Eric: I got some Ben and Jerry's marinating in the freezer.
- 6:53Matt: Ooh, you know, I just made ice cream.
- 6:56Matt: You made it just before we start?
- 6:59Matt: Yeah, man, I got that KitchenAid ice cream mixer that I barely use.
- 7:04Matt: So I thought I'd put it to work.
- 7:05Eric: I that's that's the only like I the thought of making ice cream like delights me, but like I don't want any of the equipment or material.
- 7:13Eric: Accoutumol.
- 7:14Eric: Yeah.
- 7:14Eric: Because I know I'll use exactly one.
- 7:16Matt: Do you have a KitchenAid?
- 7:17Matt: No.
- 7:18Matt: Want one.
- 7:18Matt: Want one so so bad.
- 7:20Matt: You should get one there, they change your life.
- 7:21Matt: Oh, I know.
- 7:22Matt: And then once you get one, you get the ice cream maker.
- 7:24Matt: Because it's just one big bowl.
- 7:26Matt: That's the only piece of special equipment you need.
- 7:28Eric: But is like, wait, what is special about the said bowl?
- 7:32Eric: Oh, it well, it's got like a is it like chilled?
- 7:35Matt: Yeah, you gotta put it in the freezer like a day beforehand because it's got like a like a gel lining, some sort of like condition.
- 7:43Eric: Okay, because I was concerned that this is gonna be like, oh no, you need the special ice cream brand bowl, and like it's just a normal bowl.
- 7:49Eric: No, no, no.
- 7:50Eric: Ice cream on the ice cream.
- 7:51Matt: Well, they also just have ice cream makers, too.
- 7:54Eric: Oh, yeah, the big old machines.
- 7:56Matt: Yeah, it's pr it's pretty.
- 7:58Matt: Once you get the machine, it's they're not that big.
- 8:00Matt: They're a lot of the standalone ones are just the size of like a mixing bowl.
- 8:03Eric: Okay, okay.
- 8:04Matt: Yeah, it's fun.
- 8:06Matt: Uh so, but anyway, it's so I just made some ice cream.
- 8:09Matt: What kind of jerry Ben and Jerry's you got going on?
- 8:11SPEAKER_00: Oh, girl, you know I got that chubby hubby.
- 8:15Matt: Oh, chubby hubby.
- 8:17Matt: I do like chubby hubby.
- 8:18Eric: What are your what are your uh what are your favorite Ben and Jerry's?
- 8:20Eric: Ben and Jerry's.
- 8:21Eric: Yeah, yeah.
- 8:22Matt: Um let's see.
- 8:23Matt: I like Chubby Hubby.
- 8:24Matt: Uh I'll tell you what my far and away my favorite Ben and Jerry's is.
- 8:28Matt: Yeah.
- 8:28Matt: And it's unusual because it is like a corporate uh like sponsored partnership.
- 8:35Matt: Okay.
- 8:37Matt: But the tonight dough.
- 8:39Matt: The tonight dough.
- 8:40Matt: The tonight dough is on another level.
- 8:43Matt: You've never had it.
- 8:44Matt: Are you kidding me?
- 8:45Eric: I've never had it.
- 8:46Eric: Because like once I find the flavor I like, I I become like so god.
- 8:52Eric: I be I well, I get so stressed because like every time I'm like, if I pick a flavor and I don't like it, I am just stuck.
- 9:01Matt: Not with Ben and Jerry's, you don't.
- 9:03Matt: Ben and Jerry's is like two save servings.
- 9:05Eric: Three is, but I get so nervous.
- 9:09Matt: I know, I feel you, like you're gonna be stuck with it forever.
- 9:11Matt: I I remember, and this is a trauma instilled in me back in the days when uh when I would be renting a video game from Blockbuster, and I'd spend half an hour picking one out while my mom very patiently waited.
- 9:26Matt: While I was like, do I play Ocarina of Time a fourth time?
- 9:29Matt: Yeah, or do I try or do I try something else?
- 9:32Eric: And I and I I feel like you know, just a little disclaimer, folks.
- 9:35Eric: I know we got pretty uh heated about PB and J's last time.
- 9:39Eric: That was two times ago.
- 9:40Eric: Two times ago.
- 9:41Eric: Time is an illusion.
- 9:42Eric: Um construct, in fact.
- 9:44Eric: But I will say there are no wrong answers with ice cream.
- 9:47Eric: I'm not really not really like it's it's ice cream.
- 9:51Eric: You can't fuck it.
- 9:52Eric: Like you you do is if it is ice cream, you can't fuck it up.
- 9:56Matt: I agree.
- 9:57Matt: I don't I've generally never met anything in the ice cream family.
- 10:02Matt: And I extend this to custard, sorbet, yeah, gelato, frozen yogurt, frozen yogurt.
- 10:09Matt: All of it, I I love it all equally.
- 10:11Matt: I I will say, as I said previously in the podcast, I don't really like I don't support nuts as a topping, particularly for like a banana split or others where it's quote unquote traditional.
- 10:24Matt: Yeah.
- 10:25Matt: But uh every now and then I'll I'll fuck with a pr uh uh like you know, a praline.
- 10:29SPEAKER_02: A praline is a praline.
- 10:30Matt: But like I said then, it's it interrupts the flow, I feel.
- 10:34Matt: Gotcha.
- 10:35SPEAKER_00: A sudden roughness to my creamy delight.
- 10:39SPEAKER_00: Um yeah, just sit in that for a second.
- 10:42Eric: Okay, I'll sit in your creamy delight for as long as you want.
- 10:45Matt: The roughness in my creamy delight.
- 10:48Matt: Oh, God.
- 10:48Matt: Anyway, you gotta try the Tinaito.
- 10:50Matt: Listen to me though.
- 10:51Matt: Anyone within the sound of my voice who has not had Ben and Jerry's Jimmy Fallon's The Tonito, go into a store and get it.
- 11:01Matt: And while you're there, get the Stephen Colbert Americone Dream.
- 11:06Matt: Ah, which is that one either.
- 11:08Matt: It's very good.
- 11:09Matt: It's got chunks of fucking cone in it.
- 11:12Matt: Um, it's delicious.
- 11:14Matt: But it's it does not uh it does not compare to the tonito, which is life-changing.
- 11:19Matt: It's life-changing.
- 11:20Eric: My current favorite, my life-changing men and jerry's was they uh the past year or so, over the pandemic, they released a s'mores flavor.
- 11:26Eric: Ooh, I just got it.
- 11:28Eric: It's so fucking good.
- 11:29Eric: It's marginalized.
- 11:30Eric: I got it last week.
- 11:31Eric: I'm not kidding you.
- 11:32Eric: I got it last week for the first time.
- 11:34Eric: It was great.
- 11:34Eric: I'm obsessed with those graham cracker bits in my eyes.
- 11:37Eric: Love it.
- 11:37Matt: Not only that, they did, I don't know what kind of alchemy they used, but like there's no discernible uh like streaks of marshmallow, like they'd be in a rocky road or something.
- 11:48Matt: Yeah, but you can, it's all it's somehow all marshmallowy.
- 11:53Matt: Yeah, it's delicious, it's like a work of art.
- 11:57Eric: Ben, Jerry, poach here, standard disclaimer.
- 12:01Eric: If you're listening, like put us, put us in, coach.
- 12:07Eric: We are ready to put we will sl we will fuck it.
- 12:12Eric: Give us some money.
- 12:13Eric: We'll turn it into a Ben and Jerry's podcast.
- 12:15Eric: We'll turn it into a Ben and Jerry's podcast.
- 12:17Eric: Fuck, fuck the questions, fuck everything.
- 12:18Eric: We'll we'll turn we'll just talk about your ice cream.
- 12:20Eric: We'll just talk about ice cream, and that'll be a great life.
- 12:23Eric: That'll be a good life.
- 12:25Eric: I mean, God, I can't wait to sell out.
- 12:27SPEAKER_02: You you like sell out cash in, baby?
- 12:32SPEAKER_02: Sell out cash in.
- 12:34Eric: I mean first chance I get, Matthew.
- 12:37Matt: No word from Reese's yet about our uh auditions that we submitted.
- 12:42Eric: I will now this is an interesting mental exercise.
- 12:46Eric: What is your lowest bar for sellout?
- 12:49Eric: Not in terms of like what is like what is the cheapest company that can come to you like, hey, we'll give you a three.
- 12:55Eric: Like, who could throw you a bounty be like, all right, I'll do it for you?
- 12:58Matt: Like shit, like you mean like large corporation as opposed to like any small store could, if you want us, anyone in the uh, you know, local to us anyway, Maryland area, or it doesn't even have to be Maryland.
- 13:11Matt: If you are a shop owner of a trading post in Montana and you get on average five passerbys a day.
- 13:20Matt: As the crow flies.
- 13:22Eric: And you as the crow, if you get five crows a day, five crows is the passenger fly.
- 13:29Matt: And you want us to run an ad for you, you just slip us a one.
- 13:34Matt: Give us a Washington.
- 13:36Eric: We'll sell out.
- 13:37Eric: We'll we'll go for it.
- 13:39Eric: Should we, Matt, idea?
- 13:41Eric: Uh-huh.
- 13:41Eric: We start selling shares.
- 13:45Eric: So shares of our selling out.
- 13:48Eric: No, no, not shares of the show.
- 13:49Eric: We own that no matter what.
- 13:51Eric: We have like a certain amount of selling out we're prepared to do.
- 13:54Eric: Okay.
- 13:55Eric: And we sell shares of it.
- 13:58Eric: We're selling shares.
- 13:59Eric: We're basically we're doing NFTs with more steps.
- 14:02Eric: Stay with me, man.
- 14:03Eric: So we have shares of like selling out.
- 14:07Eric: Well, hold on.
- 14:08Eric: Yeah.
- 14:08Matt: You're suggesting, just so I'm clear, you're suggesting selling shares of a mindset.
- 14:13Matt: Yes.
- 14:14Matt: Is that correct?
- 14:15Eric: More like the grind set, Matthew.
- 14:17Eric: Okay.
- 14:18Eric: Yeah, all right, sure.
- 14:19Eric: We could do we could do that.
- 14:21Eric: Yeah.
- 14:21Eric: So if you'd like to get in on the ground floor of us selling out, make us an offer.
- 14:27Eric: Oh, God.
- 14:28Matt: Do you have an example, Eric, on the top of your head?
- 14:31Matt: Oh, like uh, you know how could someone buy a share of our sellout money?
- 14:36Eric: Rita, a Rita's stand franchisee.
- 14:40Eric: Not someone from corporate Rita's, a franchisee.
- 14:43Eric: They approach us and they go, hi, hello.
- 14:45Eric: We'd like you to sell out.
- 14:46Eric: And we're like, oh, cool.
- 14:47Eric: How many shares would you like?
- 14:49Eric: And and they just they just buy the shares.
- 14:52Matt: I see.
- 14:53Matt: I see.
- 14:54Matt: Uh I think any um any like uh any Chinese restaurant that has a number at the end of it, you know what I mean?
- 15:02Matt: Like Great Wall 14, you know?
- 15:04Eric: Or the really cute ones like the pho places, like there's pho 10.
- 15:08Eric: What near us which 410 is the area code from Maryland.
- 15:10Eric: It's very clever.
- 15:12Eric: Very clever.
- 15:13Matt: Fa10, we'll we'll run ads.
- 15:14Eric: Yeah, yeah.
- 15:15Matt: Absolutely.
- 15:16Eric: Like I will slap logos wherever while we're recording.
- 15:20Eric: I'll put them all over the My Office.
- 15:22Matt: Yeah, for sure.
- 15:23Matt: I'm ready for it.
- 15:24Matt: I'm ready for an ad break in this show.
- 15:26Matt: I'm ready for it because we're we're let me just say, whenever somebody finally gets around to giving us money to do an advertisement for them, we're gonna knock these ads out of the park.
- 15:35Eric: Oh my god, the ads are gonna be so good.
- 15:37Eric: They're gonna be better than the show.
- 15:38Eric: I'm just gonna say it.
- 15:40Matt: I mean, we're barely gonna touch the copy you give us.
- 15:43Eric: No, yeah.
- 15:44Eric: Goodness, goodness golly, no.
- 15:45Matt: No, we're just gonna riff.
- 15:46Matt: We're gonna really explore the space with your brand.
- 15:50Matt: Absolutely.
- 15:51Matt: Um, speaking of explore the space, Eric, do you want to get to the show?
- 15:54Matt: Yeah, let's do the show part.
- 15:55Matt: Okay.
- 15:56unknown: Okay.
- 15:58Matt: Uh, all right.
- 15:58Matt: So our first question of the day, Eric, uh, this one comes from Jennifer, who emailed this in to us.
- 16:07Matt: What happened to Fuzzy Wuzzy's hair?
- 16:11Matt: Is he depressed about not being fuzzy?
- 16:14Matt: And can he use hair growth supplements?
- 16:18Eric: And as we all know, the rhyme goes, Fuzzy Wuzzy was a bear.
- 16:25Eric: Fuzzy Wuzzy had no hair.
- 16:28Eric: Fuzzy Wuzzy wasn't really fuzzy.
- 16:34Eric: That's uh I've always like that's the it's like the it's like the the the parable, the life question at the end.
- 16:39Eric: Who wuzzy?
- 16:40Eric: Yeah.
- 16:41Eric: Like we have to consider like like they're not stating an objective fact.
- 16:45Eric: Right.
- 16:46Matt: Yeah, it's like the ending of the lorax a little bit.
- 16:49Matt: Unless.
- 16:50Eric: Yes, yes.
- 16:52Eric: Unless.
- 16:53Eric: Exactly.
- 16:54Matt: Unless you do the work.
- 16:55Matt: Unless it is on you, child.
- 16:57Matt: It is on you, child, to preserve the environment.
- 17:00Matt: That's the ending of the Lorax, spoiler alert.
- 17:02Eric: Like, but what about like these billion dollar companies that are just doing all the polluting?
- 17:08Eric: No, no, no, child.
- 17:10SPEAKER_00: You must separate the glass from the paper.
- 17:12SPEAKER_00: It is up to you, my child.
- 17:14SPEAKER_00: Your reasons our oceans are acidifying.
- 17:19SPEAKER_00: And if not, then you may consider yourself the onesler.
- 17:24Eric: Fuck.
- 17:25SPEAKER_00: So fuzzy wuzzy.
- 17:26SPEAKER_00: So fuzzy wuzzy.
- 17:27Eric: It's fairly straightforward, right?
- 17:29Eric: Like, there's not a lot to parse here.
- 17:31Matt: Fuzzy wuzzy.
- 17:32Matt: We don't know.
- 17:33Matt: The question is what happened to his hair.
- 17:34Matt: We don't know.
- 17:35Matt: Uh there's no canonical information, I don't think.
- 17:37Matt: Okay, so I looked briefly, but I looked.
- 17:39Matt: So we establish he is a bear.
- 17:41Matt: Um Fuzzy Wuzzy had no hair.
- 17:43Matt: It actually never implies that he lost.
- 17:47Eric: That's what I'm getting at.
- 17:48Eric: Uh I'm looking up species of bear.
- 17:51Eric: Species.
- 17:52Matt: See if there's a hairless bear out there.
- 17:54Eric: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 17:55Eric: So I found uh, and this is on a this is on Trooperworld.wiki.com.
- 18:04Eric: Don't okay.
- 18:05Eric: Uh Ukumari, aka Borean Hairless Bear.
- 18:10Eric: Oh uh the Borean Hairless Bear, aka Ukamari, Ukuku, or Jukumari, is a rare breed of bears that is no mere noted primarily for its hairless nature.
- 18:22Eric: They lack a coat, so they're maintenance free.
- 18:25Eric: They're essentially the Sphinx cats of bears.
- 18:28Eric: They do nice.
- 18:29Eric: They are they uh we're all we're all beautiful, amazing, wonderful creatures.
- 18:34Eric: This looks, I need you to I I I like I need you to look this up because it looks like a raccoon with a thyroid problem.
- 18:44Matt: Oh, I just oh my god, I just found it the Borean hairless bear.
- 18:50Matt: Is that what you're looking at?
- 18:51Eric: Yeah, you found it.
- 18:53Matt: My god.
- 18:54Eric: It looks so it's like every picture I see, it's it's slinking.
- 19:01Matt: It's slinking along.
- 19:02Matt: It has it looks like a lion's mane.
- 19:04Matt: It has like a lion's mane of hair and a little mohawk going down its spine, and that is it.
- 19:11Matt: It looks like a mole rat that is the size of a bear.
- 19:14Eric: It's got like some like every picture of looking at.
- 19:19Eric: It's like it's watching something that it knows it shouldn't be watching, and it's enjoying that fact.
- 19:25Matt: Absolutely, yeah.
- 19:27Matt: It does look it looks like a hyena.
- 19:29Matt: This is a dirty bear, he's a dirty boy, and and we will obviously put this on the Instagram so you all can look at the horror show that is the Yukamari Borean hairless bear.
- 19:40Eric: So I but yeah, it does technically have hair.
- 19:43Eric: Um but it does establish the fact that there are hairless bears.
- 19:49Matt: He had no hair, and this is what fuzzy was.
- 19:52Matt: He is among.
- 19:52Eric: And I'm assuming he was born that way, because the the idea that I'm getting is like his parents did kind of a dick move, like where they were like, oh, we gave birth to a hairless bear.
- 20:03Eric: Oh, okay, so no, this is shaping, okay, this is shaping more of it because so you know, if a hairless bear gave birth to a hairless bear, they wouldn't be like, oh, let's call him fuzzy wuzzy because he doesn't have any hair.
- 20:14Eric: They were expecting that.
- 20:16Eric: But if some privileged fuzzy bears, like very fuzzy bears, gave birth to a hairless bear, they were like, oh no, well, we're bad people, so let's name him Fuzzy Wuzzy.
- 20:29Matt: Well, they you know, maybe they named him Fuzzy Wuzzy, expecting hair would come, and it never did.
- 20:36Matt: And so they had to kind of uh, you know, Oswald cobblepot it in the beginning of Batman Returns and throw him in the sewer like Moses.
- 20:44Eric: Yeah.
- 20:45Matt: But instead of leading people to the promised land, he led a group of uh penguins to terrorism.
- 20:51Matt: Mm-hmm.
- 20:51Eric: Mm-hmm.
- 20:53Matt: Um this is what Fuzzy Wuzzy.
- 20:56Matt: This is this is the story of Fuzzy Wuzzy.
- 20:58Matt: This is the story of Fuzzy Wuzzy.
- 20:59Eric: Uh Fuzzy Wuzzy, just and maybe this is because the energy from the Borean Hairless Bear is like rubbing off on me.
- 21:04Eric: This does sound a lot like villain origin story.
- 21:08Eric: It does, doesn't it?
- 21:09Eric: Which actually brings me to my next point.
- 21:12Eric: The the part we sang, those are the original like nursery rhyme lyrics.
- 21:17Eric: Yeah, for sure.
- 21:18Eric: There is apparently, if if all nurserymes.com is to be believed.
- 21:25Eric: I think it must be.
- 21:26Eric: Extended modern lyrics.
- 21:28Eric: Oh, I'm gonna hit you with these.
- 21:30Eric: Please do.
- 21:31Eric: And they I'm gonna say they introduce a lot of interesting elements, namely phrasing, but like, so let's let's get into it.
- 21:39Eric: There's goes, you know, fuzzy wuzzy was a bear, fuzzy wuzzy had no hair, class.
- 21:44Eric: Fuzzy wuzzy, and this is where they diverge from the timeline.
- 21:47Eric: Fuzzy Wuzzy wasn't fuzzy.
- 21:50Eric: No, by gosh, he wasn't, was he?
- 21:53Eric: Okay, so they just added some words, they just wordsmithed it.
- 21:57Eric: Then we you'd think like the next.
- 22:00Eric: Because I was thinking, like, oh, if they extended the lyrics, surely they give Fuzzy Wuzzy like more of a story.
- 22:06Eric: And then like a second verse, we learn, nope, fuck him.
- 22:10Eric: We're done with him.
- 22:11Eric: You just that's first verse shit.
- 22:13Eric: Okay.
- 22:13Eric: Second verse, silly Willy was a worm.
- 22:16Eric: Who the fuck is silly willy?
- 22:18Eric: Silly Willy wouldn't squirm.
- 22:21Eric: Silly Willy wasn't silly.
- 22:24Eric: No, by gosh, he wasn't really.
- 22:27Eric: Also, that's just a rhyme.
- 22:29Eric: Near rhyme.
- 22:30Eric: That's not even near.
- 22:31Eric: That's not even real.
- 22:33Eric: It's not, I would never count that.
- 22:34Matt: There's just two L's.
- 22:36Eric: A worm squirming isn't silly.
- 22:39Eric: That is very stand.
- 22:41Eric: In fact, it's more silly that he's not, then how is he moving?
- 22:45Eric: If he's not silly, he's rolling.
- 22:47Matt: It'd be silly if he was hopping along like Tigger.
- 22:50Eric: Yeah.
- 22:51Matt: That'd be a silly worm.
- 22:52Eric: That'd be silly.
- 22:52Eric: He is being because like the only thing This worm's just being a worm.
- 22:55SPEAKER_02: Is worm.
- 22:56Eric: Well, this worm, no, he's not being a worm because he won't squirm.
- 22:59SPEAKER_02: That's how they move.
- 23:00SPEAKER_02: He's dead.
- 23:01Eric: See where he is dead.
- 23:03Eric: You're mocking a corpse.
- 23:04Eric: He's either dead or he's like the worm equivalent of paralyzed.
- 23:09Eric: Like, you know what I mean?
- 23:10Eric: Like, he just I I think he he either just has to kind of let gravity roll sideways, or he has to be carried by the other worms.
- 23:20Eric: Either way, worm villain origin story.
- 23:23Matt: Yeah, I mean very much.
- 23:25Matt: But also, I hate to, I hate to, I don't want to do this necessarily, but who cares about silly Willy?
- 23:32Matt: We're here for fuzzy wuzzy.
- 23:33Matt: Why we switching why we switching focus?
- 23:36Matt: Is there a third verse about Oh, there is, and you better believe it's not about either that worm or that bear.
- 23:42Matt: Who's this one about?
- 23:43Matt: Freaky Dickie?
- 23:47Eric: Itty biddy was a mouse.
- 23:56Eric: Oh, come on.
- 23:57Eric: Itty biddy wasn't pretty.
- 23:59Eric: Oh by gosh, it was a pity.
- 24:01Matt: Don't be shaming itty biddy for being an ugly ass rat.
- 24:06Matt: He's not a mouse.
- 24:07Matt: I know that right off the bat.
- 24:08Eric: So now we've got the incel mouse.
- 24:13Eric: Also, if you see like or villain origin story.
- 24:17Eric: Villain Orange story.
- 24:20Matt: What were those words that just emerged from your face?
- 24:23Matt: It's the all the ice cream I made.
- 24:24Matt: It's just gotten to my head.
- 24:26Eric: And then that there is a final, a final uh stanza, okay, which goes Fuzzy Wuzzy was a bear, fuzzy wuzzy had no hair, fuzzy wuzzy wasn't fuzzy.
- 24:39Eric: No, this is wild, and this is I am I want you to no, I'm reading this straight from the website.
- 24:45Eric: No, by God, he wasn't wuzzy.
- 24:49unknown: No, by god.
- 24:51Eric: They've been doing gosh the entire time, and now they went hard in, and now it all Well, it's the finale, Eric.
- 24:57Eric: You gotta up the stakes.
- 25:00Eric: Like, what was I supposed to have taken from any of this?
- 25:05Matt: God only knows.
- 25:07Eric: Like, apparently.
- 25:09Eric: Like, that is the We're talking about his creations.
- 25:12Eric: The moral seems to be here that only only Yahweh can know the truth of Fuzzy Wuzzy having no hair, having no spouse.
- 25:22Matt: So, like, this now, now the no spouse is still like this is so specific.
- 25:28Matt: This is this is how you create a domestic terrorist by making fun of a spouseless person.
- 25:36Matt: An ugly spouseless person.
- 25:38Matt: Ugly mouse.
- 25:40SPEAKER_02: Like, yeah, what if Attie Bitty was just like asexual or something?
- 25:43SPEAKER_02: What if Attie Bitty didn't like want to do it?
- 25:45Eric: Like, we don't mind anything about that.
- 25:47Eric: That's what makes me so angry.
- 25:48Eric: Like, we're given, like, oh, they don't have a spouse.
- 25:50Eric: Shouldn't you pity them?
- 25:51Eric: Like, I don't know.
- 25:52Eric: I don't know their situation, dude.
- 25:54Matt: I'm just feeling I just have a feeling maybe they're happy.
- 25:57Eric: Maybe they're living their best life.
- 25:59Eric: Also, this nursery rhyme making very like uh subjective opinions about Mouse.
- 26:05Eric: Like, who are you person to call this mouse not pretty?
- 26:09Matt: This mouse is beautiful, he's beautiful.
- 26:11Matt: Maybe he's just living his life, and here you are.
- 26:15Matt: Like, we don't know anything, we don't know anything about this person's disposition.
- 26:20Matt: This this mouse might be completely asexual, have no attraction to anybody, and he's living their best life.
- 26:28Matt: And instead, you instead of living their best life, you have turned them, you've turned the switch on inside of them to of this inner rage, this inner anxiety, and now itty bitty is gonna become Templeton from Charlotte's Webb.
- 26:43Matt: That's what's gonna happen.
- 26:44Eric: You've created Templeton.
- 26:46Eric: You created Templeton.
- 26:47Eric: Hope you're fucking happy.
- 26:48Matt: I hope you're happy, because Templeton, as we all know, and I can I think we I think we can all agree Templeton is a fucking douche.
- 26:55Matt: But we don't know what made him that way.
- 26:57Matt: We don't know what made him that way, do we?
- 26:59Matt: By God.
- 27:00Matt: He wasn't born into douche-inish douchinish.
- 27:03Matt: By God turned into Sean Connery.
- 27:07Matt: Okay.
- 27:08Matt: So uh all that to say.
- 27:11Matt: All that to say very little information about fuzzy was he, but I feel like what we have learned is that he never had hair, so nothing happened to it.
- 27:19Eric: Yeah, he never lost anything.
- 27:21Eric: Um, is he depressed about not being fuzzy?
- 27:24Eric: That's really gonna depend on the environment he grew up in.
- 27:26Matt: I'm getting the vibe that he grew up like if listen, if these are the songs that are being written about him, he's depressed, okay?
- 27:34Eric: Yeah, and also to answer the third question, Jennifer, I'm really glad you asked this.
- 27:38Eric: Can he use hair growth replacement supplements?
- 27:40Eric: I'll tell you this, he certainly can.
- 27:42Eric: I don't think he should, because I don't think he fucking has to.
- 27:44Eric: I don't think he has to.
- 27:46Eric: We're back in Rudolph Land.
- 27:48Eric: Like, I I'm like, I don't think there's nothing wrong with fuzzy wuzzy.
- 27:52Matt: No, no, absolutely not.
- 27:54Eric: If if if he's depressed about not being fuzzy, he's not depressed.
- 27:58Eric: It's not about being not fuzzy.
- 28:00Eric: Absolutely not.
- 28:00Eric: You know what I mean?
- 28:01Eric: Like, it's not like it is it is it is the people around him that are making him feel shamed for being not fuzzy.
- 28:09Eric: Absolutely shit in order.
- 28:11Matt: And this is why you know, it's we have we live in a society now where we celebrate fat bear week every year.
- 28:18Matt: I am a big proponent of fat bear week.
- 28:21Matt: You know what I'm talking about, Eric, right?
- 28:22Eric: Yes, I have fat bear week where they find the fattest bear.
- 28:25Matt: Absolutely.
- 28:25Matt: And what I'm saying is if Fuzzy Wuzzy entered in to the the Katme National Park, Fat Bear Week, you'd know who you don't need the identification uh from the site, the site telling you what bear is what.
- 28:42Matt: You would know Fuzzy Wuzzy upon site.
- 28:45Eric: You will know him.
- 28:47Eric: You will know him.
- 28:48Eric: You will know him by the trail of non-existent hair.
- 28:50Matt: He lives.
- 28:52Matt: God bless you, fuzzy wuzzy.
- 28:53Matt: No, I don't think he uh whether or not he can take hair growth supplements, I don't think is uh substantial.
- 29:00Matt: Yeah.
- 29:01Matt: Because I don't think I agree with you.
- 29:02Matt: I don't think he should.
- 29:04Eric: Or I think if he does, it should come from a place of him being like, you know what?
- 29:08Eric: I'm feeling whole and happy.
- 29:10Eric: This is just something I want for myself, then yes, but he shouldn't do it for the sake of anyone else.
- 29:15Eric: Fuck him.
- 29:16Matt: You know what I hope for Fuzzy Wuzzy though?
- 29:18Matt: What?
- 29:18Matt: You know, the buyer we saw with this little cr circle uh or this little sunshine circle around his head.
- 29:25Matt: Yeah, lion mane of hair.
- 29:27Eric: And lion mane is generous, it's like a lion, it's like a lion chin strap.
- 29:32Matt: Yeah, it very much gives off uh the the baby in the sun of teletubby vibes.
- 29:37Matt: Yes.
- 29:38Matt: Uh if he instead didn't have that, but just had one strip of hair as a mustache, a big old walrus mustache.
- 29:46Eric: It would be amazing.
- 29:47Matt: Can you imagine?
- 29:48Matt: He would be a general fuzzy wuzzy.
- 29:50Eric: Oh my god, yes.
- 29:51Matt: Because the Bears would elect him to a leadership position.
- 29:56Matt: Absolutely.
- 29:58Matt: So I think we've answered the question uh thoroughly at this point.
- 30:02Matt: Don't you agree, Eric?
- 30:03Matt: Oh, I agree.
- 30:04Matt: Um, all right.
- 30:05Matt: So Jennifer, thank you as always for the question.
- 30:08Eric: Thank you so much.
- 30:09Matt: Uh what's next on our docket here, Eric?
- 30:11Eric: Oh, this one comes from uh let me let me look at the name here.
- 30:16Eric: Oh, it's Matt Shea.
- 30:18Eric: Hey, baby, the old-fashioned way, supplying our own questions.
- 30:22Eric: Yep, getting high off our own supply.
- 30:24Eric: When does sooner end and later begin?
- 30:29Eric: That comes from Matt Shay.
- 30:31Eric: When does sooner end and later begin begin?
- 30:34Eric: So when we say sooner or later, sooner or later, sooner rather than later.
- 30:39Eric: I kind of want to pioneer this.
- 30:41Eric: Sooner and later.
- 30:43Matt: Sooner and later.
- 30:45Matt: Sooner and later is interesting.
- 30:47Matt: But the words, this came into my head because sooner and later are intrinsically linked, you know, like they have a relationship.
- 30:56Matt: Yeah.
- 30:57Matt: But what exactly is it?
- 30:59Matt: You know, when you say, Oh, I'll get around to it sooner or later, you've covered all bases.
- 31:05Matt: This is where, yes, you really do.
- 31:07Matt: So, like, when, how long of a time period from the time you say soon does it end and does later pick up the slack?
- 31:17Eric: So honestly, that's why like my my my thing with with this phrase is uh I don't think it's about establishing a time frame.
- 31:26Eric: I think it's about establishing just how many fucks you have to give about something.
- 31:30Eric: Interesting.
- 31:31Eric: Like, like uh, you know, like, oh, when are you gonna do this?
- 31:33Eric: Ah, sooner or later.
- 31:34Eric: Like you, I that is me saying, like, when I feel like it.
- 31:38Matt: Oh, so are you saying sooner or later is a time period in and of itself?
- 31:44Eric: Yeah, it it it is establishing that like there is no fixed time for this because I don't care enough about it.
- 31:53Eric: Or like that's the one the yeah, it'll get done at some point.
- 31:58Eric: That's the other caveat.
- 31:59Eric: It's not like I'm saying, oh, I might do it, I might not.
- 32:02Eric: No, it's I'm gonna do it, dot, dot, dot eventually.
- 32:07Matt: Okay, but what what about soon, though?
- 32:09Matt: You know what I'm saying?
- 32:10Eric: If you say sooner or later, what do we interpret to sooner to mean?
- 32:14Matt: I'll be there soon versus I'll be there later.
- 32:18Matt: So, like, when is the time cut off?
- 32:21Matt: Because like if you say to me, I'll be there soon, and your ass doesn't show up for three hours.
- 32:26Eric: Yeah, no, soon I put firmly within within the next hour.
- 32:31Eric: Like you're like, I'll be there.
- 32:33Eric: It well, it depends.
- 32:34Matt: If like I was just gonna say, I feel like it depends on context.
- 32:37Eric: If we're meeting up for dinner, and like I'm like, where are you?
- 32:40Eric: I'm like, I'll be there soon.
- 32:41Eric: Soon better mean like five to ten minutes.
- 32:44Matt: But if you're talking about scheduling something, like, oh hey, we should go get a drink soon.
- 32:50Matt: Within, yeah, within the month.
- 32:52Matt: I'd say within oh, I was gonna say a week or two.
- 32:55Matt: You a fortune, a week or two.
- 32:58Eric: A fortnight is good.
- 32:59Matt: Soon, I mean like these days, I guess a month is good.
- 33:03Eric: If I was gonna say within a fortnight, I'd just say, uh, we should get a drink the next couple weeks.
- 33:09Matt: Oh, okay.
- 33:10Matt: So soon uh in that context, is I don't want to go the full distance of planning this.
- 33:18Eric: Exactly.
- 33:18Matt: But we should do it before too long.
- 33:22Matt: Oh, then that's not even to talk about before too long.
- 33:25Eric: Oh, yeah, yes.
- 33:27Matt: Yes, when does too long begin?
- 33:30Eric: Before too long.
- 33:31Eric: Uh yeah, it's so contextual.
- 33:33Matt: Like I feel like uh the now this third term I've included is the last of them.
- 33:39Matt: It's soon later, and before too long.
- 33:42Eric: Yeah, sooner or later is look, we're past later.
- 33:46Eric: Before too long, you're not gonna have the option to do it anymore.
- 33:49Matt: And later is before is comes before too long, because too long is when both parties can admit this should have been done by now.
- 34:01Eric: This should have been done by now.
- 34:02Matt: This is and that's what we've missed the window.
- 34:04Eric: Again, yeah, I don't even think it's establishing a timeline.
- 34:07Eric: I think before too long, I think it's establishing a hey, look, you do you, but your window's closing.
- 34:15Eric: Do it whenever you want, but your window is closing.
- 34:18Eric: Yeah, it's all coming to an end.
- 34:19Eric: When I say sooner or later, the window is wide open.
- 34:22Eric: I can't even conceive that there is a window.
- 34:24Eric: Like I'm like, I have infinite time.
- 34:26Eric: It's my ADHD brain, like that just goes, Oh, I'll get to it sooner or later because you know, time is infinite.
- 34:32Eric: I have all of it.
- 34:34Eric: There's no problems.
- 34:35Eric: And then five minutes later, yo, where did all these dishes come from?
- 34:39Eric: Well, you don't have all of it.
- 34:40Matt: You are going to um die.
- 34:43Eric: Oh, I I know that, but Eric making plans doesn't know that.
- 34:48Matt: Oh, Eric, plan making Eric is completely unaware of his own mortality.
- 34:52Matt: Is that what you're saying?
- 34:52Eric: Oh, yeah.
- 34:53Eric: Yeah, yeah.
- 34:54Eric: Plan making Eric is just, you know, fucking time is a fractal.
- 34:59Eric: Like, there's just there's of course.
- 35:01Matt: Oh, and can I venture to guess that plan making Eric is then also unaware of the other person's mortality as well?
- 35:08Matt: Correct.
- 35:09Matt: I see.
- 35:09Matt: Okay.
- 35:10Eric: Yeah.
- 35:10Eric: Yeah, because like it's all like, oh, that's months away.
- 35:14Eric: And then I blink and it's was two months again.
- 35:17Eric: Months past.
- 35:18SPEAKER_00: Yes.
- 35:18Eric: Yes, exactly.
- 35:20Eric: So so sooner or later for my brain is a dangerous game to play.
- 35:25Matt: Uh yes.
- 35:25Matt: I was just gonna say it's a demilitarized zone situation you got going on.
- 35:29Eric: Well, there's also the other flavor of sooner or later.
- 35:32Eric: Oh, so we've talked to one flavor.
- 35:34Eric: One flavor is, oh yeah, I'll get around to it sooner or later.
- 35:37Eric: But then there's the then there is the almost in the before too long vein, the the warn the heed my warning sooner or later.
- 35:45Eric: Like, hey man, look, you keep this up sooner or later, the law's gonna catch up with you.
- 35:50Eric: Law's gonna catch up with you.
- 35:52Eric: They're gonna get you.
- 35:53Eric: Yeah.
- 35:53SPEAKER_00: Like, you know, listen, so you keep coming in here like that, making all this trouble.
- 35:58SPEAKER_00: Sooner or later, trouble's gonna find you.
- 36:01Eric: Like, exactly.
- 36:02Eric: It's again, it's not even saying when something's gonna happen.
- 36:06Eric: It's saying, like, hey buddy, you keep this up.
- 36:08Eric: It's no longer a win.
- 36:10Eric: It's just a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's an inevitability.
- 36:14Eric: You got there.
- 36:15Eric: Yeah.
- 36:16Matt: So you you're saying, so when you say a warning, you do mean like a caution as opposed to a threat.
- 36:21Matt: Like I went.
- 36:22Eric: It is a warning, like, look, man, sooner or later.
- 36:24Eric: But it does also work as a threat.
- 36:26Eric: It does all like because it is, you're right.
- 36:29Matt: And it works as a threat because it's so vague and open-ended, it could mean anything.
- 36:33Eric: Yeah, it it's it's all revolving around the same concept.
- 36:37Eric: Something that is going to happen.
- 36:39Matt: Okay.
- 36:39Matt: So I I think I so you're I think we've landed on something here already.
- 36:44Matt: It's there, it can't be pigeonholed.
- 36:46Eric: It can't begin or end.
- 36:48Eric: It is it is a it is a as a term.
- 36:52Eric: Yeah.
- 36:52Matt: Sooner and later are fused together.
- 36:57Matt: They they can't exist separately in the context.
- 37:00Matt: You don't get to pick which one.
- 37:01Matt: I yeah.
- 37:02Matt: Okay, I can get behind this.
- 37:04Matt: I can get behind this, and I will get behind it.
- 37:06Matt: Hell yeah.
- 37:07Matt: Hell yeah.
- 37:08Matt: Thank you me for the question.
- 37:10Matt: Thank you, Matt.
- 37:11Matt: Now let's maybe it's best if we get back to questions that came from somebody, Eric.
- 37:17Matt: So let's see.
- 37:18Matt: Now, this comes from uh our good friend uh at Dairy King 11 on Twitter, and the king brings us this time.
- 37:26Matt: If you have breakfast for dinner, is it still considered dinner?
- 37:31Matt: Or is it just a late breakfast?
- 37:35Eric: Ah, so now we okay, we go back dipping our our toes back into the the brunch pool.
- 37:41Eric: Yeah, so like we say a flavor quite yes, thank you, Dairy King.
- 37:45Matt: We did have fl we did have quite fun with the brunch before, but this when you do refer, when you have this meal, it is universally, I feel, referenced as breakfast for dinner.
- 38:02Eric: Oh.
- 38:03Eric: You added a whole bunch of extra.
- 38:05Eric: You don't call it Brenner?
- 38:06Eric: We've already talked, we've talked about this.
- 38:09Matt: Not only have we talked about it, Eric, and how I had never heard of this made-up term, but I thought we established that Brenner referred to the brunch section of time that is between break between lunch and dinner.
- 38:24Matt: Oh, I don't think I agree to that.
- 38:26Matt: I thought that's where we agreed.
- 38:28Eric: The sound you're hearing is my brain just racing.
- 38:31Eric: Like, did we say that?
- 38:32Matt: Either way.
- 38:33Matt: I thought you were telling me when you were having brunch, like pre-noon, it's brunch pre-noon, and post-noon it's Brenner.
- 38:42Eric: No, well, but like we call it Brenner because it's breakfast for dinner.
- 38:48Matt: I don't agree.
- 38:50Matt: I don't agree that when you set out to have breakfast for dinner, I don't, in my experience, go, oh yeah, let's have Brenner.
- 39:00Matt: We let's have breakfast for dinner.
- 39:02Matt: You are telling me you authentically say, hey, how about Brenner tonight?
- 39:06Eric: I will unironically say, Let's have Brenner.
- 39:08Matt: And you you're not talking about anything to do with brunch.
- 39:11Matt: You are just referring to breakfast for dinner.
- 39:13Eric: Matt, I don't go around like talking like a fucking like an Android where I'm like, oh, that that does not compute.
- 39:21Eric: Like, I just say, that don't compute, son.
- 39:24Eric: I I mash my words together.
- 39:27Eric: Wouldn't, couldn't, don't, in it.
- 39:31Matt: Do you start every episode asking yourself, how can I hurt Matt in a new way today?
- 39:40Matt: What fresh wound can I cut open?
- 39:42Eric: Yeah, yeah.
- 39:44Eric: Beauty of English language, babe.
- 39:46Eric: It's just like a it's like a letter orgy in there.
- 39:48Eric: It's just, they just, hey, go and add, there are no rules, just right.
- 39:53Eric: Outback style.
- 39:55Matt: Outback, we also will do an ad for you.
- 39:57Eric: We will.
- 39:58Eric: I will, I'll do it for a bloom and onion.
- 39:59Eric: Throw me a bloom and onion.
- 40:00Eric: I will read some.
- 40:01Matt: Straight up do it for bloom and onion compensation.
- 40:04Matt: 100%.
- 40:05Matt: Just put that in the back of your heads, they're outback.
- 40:08Matt: I mean, okay, sure.
- 40:10Matt: The so so your answer to this question, you just feel like hard and fast, it's br if you have breakfast for dinner, is it still dinner?
- 40:19Matt: No, it's just Brenner.
- 40:21Eric: No, well, no.
- 40:22Eric: I that's what I say.
- 40:24Eric: I call it Brenner because it's just more convenient.
- 40:26Eric: Um I think I still think it's I still think it's dinner.
- 40:30Eric: You're having dinner, you're having breakfast food for dinner.
- 40:33Matt: I think breakfast, lunch, and dinner all refer to more so than the meal exactly.
- 40:40Matt: Time to time of dinner.
- 40:42Eric: Oh, we we are aligned in that because if I eat cold pizza for breakfast, it's still breakfast.
- 40:47Eric: I'm not gonna say I ate dinner at 10 in the morning.
- 40:50Eric: Yeah, it's that is absurd.
- 40:52Matt: I mean, yeah, it is questionable what you've just said.
- 40:57Eric: What?
- 40:58Eric: Oh, eating cold pizza.
- 40:59Eric: Do you not eat cold pizza?
- 41:01Eric: No, I eat cold pizza.
- 41:03Matt: I'm just saying if you're eating it quote unquote for breakfast, I almost feel like you're just eating cold breakfast very early for you're eating cold pizza very early as opposed to eating it for breakfast?
- 41:19Matt: Because it doesn't feel like breakfast in any conceivable way.
- 41:22Matt: You know what I mean?
- 41:23Eric: Oh man, anything can be breakfast if you fry an egg.
- 41:26Matt: Okay, but you didn't mean okay, okay.
- 41:29Matt: But I I didn't, but I'm just saying do you fry eggs on pe on cold pizza?
- 41:33Matt: You fried an egg in this situation and threw it- I wouldn't do it on cold pizza.
- 41:36Eric: I would fry an egg and put it on a slice of pizza, though.
- 41:39Eric: That sounds delicious.
- 41:40Matt: It does sound worth a try anyway.
- 41:42unknown: Yeah.
- 41:43Matt: Okay, that's a totally different topic.
- 41:44Matt: Let's not get into that.
- 41:45Eric: But the but but it is not late breakfast.
- 41:48Eric: It is dinner.
- 41:49Matt: It is dinner.
- 41:50Matt: Whether or not you call it brinner or breakfast for dinner, or some combination thereof.
- 41:58Matt: I don't know what else you do other than those two terms, because if you were like, I feel like anybody saying, like, hey, let's have omelets for dinner.
- 42:07Matt: Like, I don't yeah, I feel like that's a second conversation.
- 42:10Matt: You first establish you're gonna have breakfast food, then you establish what kind of breakfast food you're gonna have.
- 42:16Matt: Yeah.
- 42:17Matt: So that's it.
- 42:18Matt: Are we just one and done in this?
- 42:19Matt: It's still called burner.
- 42:21SPEAKER_02: I feel like, yeah, it's just it's it's dinner.
- 42:25Eric: It is definitely not late breakfast.
- 42:27SPEAKER_02: It's not late breakfast.
- 42:29Eric: Late breakfast means I had breakfast at like between 11 and 11:59 a.m.
- 42:35Matt: Yeah.
- 42:36Matt: Yeah, I agree.
- 42:37Matt: So it is still considered dinner hard and fast.
- 42:40Matt: The answer to that question is yes.
- 42:42Eric: Yeah.
- 42:43Matt: And then there's just the debate, I guess, of what to call it.
- 42:48Matt: And I guess it's two, you know, I think it's two halves of the same coin.
- 42:51Matt: I know.
- 42:51Eric: It's like it's not like we're arguing over definitions, we're just arguing over what we prefer to say.
- 42:56Eric: Yeah.
- 42:56Eric: I'm a busy man.
- 42:57Eric: I'm out here on that, I'm trying to sell out, I'm on that grind set, and like I got I don't have a whole lot of time to be saying words like breakfast and four and dinner.
- 43:09Eric: I just want to say Brenner.
- 43:11Eric: So I can get back in the fast lane, fucking slinging these shares.
- 43:16Matt: I think, you know, I think my uh opposition to the term Brenner is it makes me think of Yule Brenner.
- 43:24Matt: And every time you've said it, I've legitimately pictured Yule Brenner, and now I'm just thinking about the king and I.
- 43:30Matt: And uh, do we doesn't anybody need that in 2022?
- 43:33Eric: When I say Brenner, I think of my friend whose last name is Brenner.
- 43:36Eric: I almost said his first name, and trying to dox my homie on on this podcast, but he's a delight.
- 43:41Matt: Yeah, Yule Brenner's dead, so he I can dox him.
- 43:43Eric: Yeah.
- 43:44Eric: I mean, my my Brenner experience is delightful.
- 43:47Matt: Okay.
- 43:47Matt: All right.
- 43:48Eric: Brenner's the reason I have good Brenner.
- 43:50Matt: Well, hey, I have no shade about Yule Brenner.
- 43:52Matt: Okay, uh tr a treasured actor of of cinematic and stage history, but I'm just saying now I'm thinking about him.
- 44:00Matt: And I don't know that I needed that at 5 30 p.m.
- 44:02Matt: Yeah, yeah.
- 44:04Matt: Unless I'm getting ready to watch The King and I.
- 44:06Matt: Oh.
- 44:08Matt: Okay.
- 44:08Matt: So Yeah.
- 44:09Eric: We nailed that.
- 44:10Matt: So we nailed that.
- 44:11Matt: All right.
- 44:12Matt: Well, uh, anywho, um shall we move on now, I guess, Eric, to our closing segment for the day.
- 44:18Matt: Oh, we shall.
- 44:19Matt: We we hit some questions pretty quickly today, but you know what?
- 44:22Matt: We did we did give people some vital information about Ben and Jerry's.
- 44:26SPEAKER_00: Oh, we did.
- 44:27Matt: So I I think that was a topic in and of itself.
- 44:30Matt: And now it is time, Eric, for another favored uh closing segment, a fresh round of Google gripes.
- 44:38Matt: Everybody.
- 44:39Matt: Now this is round three.
- 44:42Matt: We are beginning a new round.
- 44:44Matt: Uh, if you've never heard uh Google Gripes in the past, what this is is a segment where I am going to read Eric three one-star Google reviews of three different locations.
- 44:58Matt: Well anywhere in the world.
- 45:00Matt: Well-known places.
- 45:01Matt: That's and that is the only equivalent that they're the only qualifier that they are well-known places.
- 45:08Matt: And he's going to try to guess each of these three.
- 45:11Matt: In the past, we've done two rounds.
- 45:13Matt: Round one was won by me three to two.
- 45:17Matt: I got three of Eric's.
- 45:18Matt: Yep.
- 45:18Matt: He got two of mine.
- 45:20Matt: You know how scores work.
- 45:21Matt: Round two was a draw at one apiece.
- 45:25Matt: Lost my shit when you guessed Easter Island.
- 45:28Matt: It was a great moment.
- 45:30Matt: Spoiler alert.
- 45:31Matt: Spoiler alert for anyone who hasn't heard the episode.
- 45:33Matt: Uh, but go back.
- 45:34Matt: Uh go back and uh find them.
- 45:35Matt: They're all in the show notes.
- 45:36Matt: Um, so Eric, are you ready?
- 45:39Matt: My soul is ready, Matthew.
- 45:42Matt: Okay.
- 45:42Matt: This uh this review comes from Spitfire Mark 1A.
- 45:48Matt: There are far more interesting places to visit in the area.
- 45:52Matt: Worth a look if desperate to stretch one's legs or need to use the conveniences.
- 46:00Matt: Would have been better if our ancestors had not built it so close to the A303.
- 46:08Eric: Okay.
- 46:09Matt: No Googling allowed.
- 46:11Eric: I'm not gonna Google.
- 46:12Eric: A303 could be a lot of things.
- 46:14Eric: Sounds like it could be a highway.
- 46:16Matt: Yeah, it could be.
- 46:18Matt: It could be.
- 46:18Matt: Okay, and perhaps you know, if perhaps if you're familiar with the term, that's a giveaway if you're listening at home.
- 46:24Matt: Now, this next one comes from Matthew.
- 46:29Matt: Not me.
- 46:30Matt: Okay.
- 46:31Matt: Not worth the entry fee.
- 46:34Matt: The exhibition tells you a bit about the bones and stones found lying around, but nobody there has any idea about the actual purpose of the thing.
- 46:47Matt: Despite several leading hypotheses, not a one of them is mentioned.
- 46:53Matt: You're better off watching a documentary or listening to a podcast.
- 46:59Matt: And saving yourself the hassle of traffic.
- 47:03Eric: Okay, so okay, so I'm assuming A303 is some sort of road highway.
- 47:09Eric: Okay.
- 47:09Matt: All right.
- 47:10Eric: Cool, okay.
- 47:11Matt: We've got one more for you from James.
- 47:15Matt: Don't really know who designed this, but I've seen better.
- 47:19Matt: They could have put these large stones further from the road so you can get better pictures.
- 47:25Matt: Don't think I'd visit it again until they make it look nicer.
- 47:30unknown: Okay.
- 47:32Eric: So it's built by a highway, large stones.
- 47:37Eric: Talk us through it.
- 47:37Eric: Talk us through pay to get in.
- 47:40Eric: Um, something to do with our ancestors.
- 47:42Eric: Uh so it said our ancestors built it near the A303.
- 47:47Matt: What you feeling?
- 47:49Matt: What's your brain thinking?
- 47:50Eric: Oh, my brain is I I wanna s A303.
- 47:56Eric: A303 also seems like a hint because it does not sound like a United States highway.
- 48:01Eric: Interesting.
- 48:02Eric: That sounds like an ink- is this Stonehenge?
- 48:06Matt: I don't know, Eric.
- 48:06Matt: Are you giving me a final answer to put this in Regis terms?
- 48:11Eric: I'm gonna give you a final answer of Stonehenge.
- 48:13Matt: Final answer of Stonehenge.
- 48:16Matt: Cue the Who Wants to be a Millionaire music if I can find it.
- 48:20Matt: Did I do it?
- 48:21Matt: Take it.
- 48:21Matt: It's Stonehenge, baby! Yeah! It's Stonehenge! Those ancestors are, of course, the Druids.
- 48:30Eric: Way to go, Druids.
- 48:32Matt: Okay, yeah, good job.
- 48:34Matt: One for one.
- 48:35Eric: Woo!
- 48:36Matt: All already tied yourself for round two, so that's a good sign.
- 48:40Eric: Okay.
- 48:41Matt: All right, so we're moving on.
- 48:43Matt: We're going, we're going forward.
- 48:44Matt: Are you ready for the next one?
- 48:46Eric: Yes.
- 48:48Matt: Okay, this one's from Cy.
- 48:50Matt: The iconic landmark that gets way, way, way too much attention.
- 48:57Matt: I like it, but gave it only one star because everyone is going to give this five stars for nothing.
- 49:05Matt: Nearby residents like to complain how they are getting so much unwanted attention because of this landmark, just like a streaker saying, Everybody keeps looking at me because I'm naked.
- 49:19Matt: I thought I would post a few pictures of it from the back view and a just depiction of it in a futuristic, climactic, apocalyptic vision from the science fiction show Defiance.
- 49:33Eric: Wow, there's a lot of unpack there.
- 49:36Eric: Namely, that this guy just thought both a monument and a neighborhood just needed to be brought down a few pegs.
- 49:42unknown: Yes.
- 49:43Matt: Absolutely, yes.
- 49:45Eric: Okay, so famous monument, people live near it, got it.
- 49:49Matt: Gregory says, They don't even let you touch it.
- 49:54Matt: Why should I even bother with it?
- 49:57Matt: Let me touch it.
- 49:59Matt: This is my demand.
- 50:01Matt: It calls to me.
- 50:04Matt: How could you make such a landmark private?
- 50:07Matt: It represents capitalism just as much as Lady Liberty represents freedom.
- 50:13Matt: Don't step on my America.
- 50:15Eric: Damn, okay, so it's in America.
- 50:18Eric: Okay.
- 50:19Matt: Yes.
- 50:20Matt: So well it would seem.
- 50:21Matt: So it would be.
- 50:22Eric: It would seem.
- 50:22Eric: It would seem.
- 50:24Matt: Kayla.
- 50:25Matt: I want you to hold on for this one, Eric.
- 50:27Eric: Okay.
- 50:28Matt: We're going on a ride.
- 50:29unknown: Oh my god.
- 50:30Matt: Kayla says, My four-year-old daughter almost slipped down the mountain.
- 50:37Matt: My twin ten-month-old girl scroller almost fell down the mountain.
- 50:44Matt: My two-year-old son almost fell of the rough mountain.
- 50:50Matt: My husband cheated on me near the blank with a stripper.
- 50:55Matt: Their names are Aubrey, Audrey, Aiden, and Anna Lynn.
- 51:02Eric: Fucking doxxed them.
- 51:05Matt: Jesus Christ.
- 51:06Matt: Eric's mouth was a gape.
- 51:10Matt: Wow.
- 51:11Matt: Okay.
- 51:12Matt: And that is one that I honestly I sat with it for a while.
- 51:15Matt: I can't determine if it's a joke or not.
- 51:17Matt: There's so much specifics to it.
- 51:20Matt: Okay.
- 51:21Matt: So there you go.
- 51:22Matt: Those are the three for this location.
- 51:23Eric: Faint fame.
- 51:24Eric: Okay.
- 51:25Eric: I'm gonna say, I think I have a guess.
- 51:28Eric: I have a guess.
- 51:28Eric: You have a guess.
- 51:29Eric: No repeats at all.
- 51:30Eric: No repeats.
- 51:31Eric: Okay, I'm ready.
- 51:32Eric: Is this the Hollywood song?
- 51:34Matt: This is the Hollywood song, Eric.
- 51:37Matt: Well done.
- 51:39Eric: Didn't even answer.
- 51:40Eric: What gave it away?
- 51:41Eric: Not so much gave it away.
- 51:43Eric: I was like, I was like, famous monument, okay.
- 51:45Eric: America, so entitlement.
- 51:47Eric: Okay, cool.
- 51:47Eric: The neighborhoods, like there are people who live near.
- 51:50Eric: And then when he said cheated on me with someone near the blank, which letter was it?
- 51:55Matt: Just near the sign.
- 51:58Eric: I was so hoping it was like she cheated on me next to the H.
- 52:01Matt: Next to the H.
- 52:03Matt: Oh man.
- 52:04Matt: That's Eric.
- 52:05Matt: I'm very impressed.
- 52:07Matt: And now, Eric, now you have to go for the sweep.
- 52:10Eric: I gotta, I gotta go for it.
- 52:11Matt: You're on the edge of the first sweep, the first perfect score.
- 52:15Matt: Now, there's a little curveball involved here, Eric, because with this last location.
- 52:20Matt: Oh, right.
- 52:21Matt: Google, for some reason, yeah, I told I know I told you about this before the show.
- 52:25Matt: For some reason, Google would not, I got a server error, but when I tried to load the one-star reviews, I even tried multiple locations.
- 52:34Matt: So I must have hit this server error mid trying to find these locations earlier this morning.
- 52:43Matt: So instead, these are three one-star Yelp reviews.
- 52:49Matt: Okay.
- 52:50Matt: Okay, so slightly different flavor, but I don't think they're how the world ends, not what they're doing.
- 52:56Matt: But a Yelp.
- 52:56Matt: You got plenty to work with here.
- 52:58Matt: Are you ready?
- 52:58Matt: I'm ready.
- 53:00Matt: Okay.
- 53:01Matt: Pilar says, if you are planning to go to the blank, make sure you don't get Salvatore.
- 53:08Matt: He is an older guy.
- 53:09Matt: He was very obnoxious.
- 53:11Matt: All the tour was taken from a book he had.
- 53:15Matt: He didn't answer any of the questions we asked him.
- 53:18Matt: He would say that he would answer all questions later, but once we were inside, left us on our own.
- 53:26Matt: He treated us very badly.
- 53:28Matt: The blank was one of the important things we wanted to visit, and it ended up being still beautiful because of the history and the architecture.
- 53:37Matt: But I would have brought my history book and would have been better that with that Salvatore guy.
- 53:46Matt: Also, do not buy the water from the people in the streets that are walking around.
- 53:51Eric: Okay.
- 53:53Matt: I know, it was a lot to handle, but I thought it was important to know what Salvatore was up to.
- 53:58Matt: Yeah.
- 53:58Matt: Dominic.
- 54:00Matt: This place was in ruins with stars.
- 54:05Matt: Blank seemed like it hadn't been used in years.
- 54:08Matt: So old and none of the seats even remained.
- 54:12Matt: Had to stand.
- 54:16SPEAKER_02: Had to stand.
- 54:18Matt: All right, and here comes Tyler.
- 54:20Matt: Are you ready?
- 54:21Eric: Yep.
- 54:22Matt: Old and overcrowded.
- 54:24Matt: If I wanted sardines and ancient rocks, I'd try to find Atlantis instead.
- 54:30Matt: Takes up an absurd amount of space that could be used for something actually economically beneficial, such as public housing.
- 54:38Matt: Also, the entertainment is non-existent here, as the blank is always under construction.
- 54:44Matt: I should have brought bought tickets to the new Avengers instead.
- 54:50unknown: Okay.
- 54:53SPEAKER_02: Okay.
- 54:53Matt: A lot to consider, a lot to unpack.
- 54:56Eric: A lot to consider, a lot to unpack.
- 54:57Eric: This sounds like it's in Europe somewhere.
- 55:01Eric: This is uh could be architecture, history.
- 55:03Eric: We really wanted there.
- 55:04Eric: Remember someone saying we really wanted to see the blank, but we didn't get to.
- 55:08Eric: Um no seats had to stand.
- 55:13Matt: Had to stand.
- 55:14Matt: I'm gonna go for it.
- 55:15Eric: Roman Coliseum.
- 55:16Matt: Wow, you just went for it twice in a row.
- 55:18Matt: Yeah.
- 55:18Matt: You just you did and after giving so much thought to the first one, Eric.
- 55:23Eric: I know.
- 55:24Matt: You were so careful.
- 55:26Matt: And you got lucky with the second one.
- 55:28Matt: And the third one, you just fired off a guess, huh?
- 55:32SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 55:33Matt: And you were fucking right.
- 55:34Matt: It's the Coliseum, baby.
- 55:37Matt: Three for three.
- 55:38Matt: Your boy went three for three.
- 55:40Matt: Three for three.
- 55:41Matt: We're talking about the Roman Coliseum, everybody.
- 55:44Matt: Oh, God.
- 55:46Matt: Eric.
