  SPEAKER_02: Apparently you scored way better than Dawn and I scored, did you?
• 0:19
  SPEAKER_02: You didn't do very well.
• 0:20
  SPEAKER_02: We got four out of 15.
• 0:24
  SPEAKER_02: They were all very near misses, though.
• 0:26
  SPEAKER_02: Like the difference between cashews and pistachios.
• 0:29
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 0:30
  SPEAKER_00: I got like a 13, didn't I?
• 0:31
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, you had like a solid somewhere in the high.
• 0:34
  SPEAKER_00: You got double digits.
• 0:35
  SPEAKER_00: And the and the the ones I missed were also very near misses.
• 0:39
  SPEAKER_00: So you know what?
• 0:40
  SPEAKER_00: I would have guessed that.
• 0:42
  SPEAKER_00: Because you two are both so weird.
• 0:44
  SPEAKER_00: You'll just put some weird answers down, and you're just both lovable weirdos.
• 0:49
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 0:49
  SPEAKER_02: Some of the ones we got, we were giving hints to each other.
• 0:53
  SPEAKER_00: So you're cheating and you you still got a four?
• 0:56
  SPEAKER_00: Slightly.
• 0:57
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 0:57
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 0:58
  SPEAKER_00: We're bad at this.
• 0:59
  SPEAKER_00: Turns out Donald wants us to do it.
• 1:01
  SPEAKER_00: Yay! And so my benchmark is can I beat a four?
• 1:06
  SPEAKER_00: Can I know Dan better than he knows his wife?
• 1:09
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:10
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know that I'm not sure.
• 1:12
  SPEAKER_02: I know you, though.
• 1:13
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:13
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
• 1:14
  SPEAKER_00: I'm not convinced I'll be able to do this with Dan at all.
• 1:17
  SPEAKER_01: We'll find out.
• 1:18
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:19
  SPEAKER_01: I'll hide that there for you.
• 1:21
  SPEAKER_00: This is gonna be hilarious because we are gonna be so bad at this.
• 1:24
  SPEAKER_02: I think you guys got that.
• 1:25
  SPEAKER_02: We are.
• 1:26
  SPEAKER_02: Okay, so you have this Cosmere RPG screen.
• 1:29
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 1:30
  SPEAKER_02: I am gonna give you options.
• 1:32
  SPEAKER_02: First of all, I have this extremely edgelord vampire the masquerade GM screen.
• 1:39
  SPEAKER_02: That's very nice.
• 1:40
  SPEAKER_02: Or I have this cool one from a DD setting called Broken Weave.
• 1:47
  SPEAKER_02: Which do you want?
• 1:48
  SPEAKER_00: I think since I have this one, you need to do the Edgelord one.
• 1:52
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, baby.
• 1:52
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:53
  SPEAKER_01: Edgelord it up.

  SPEAKER_01: Alrighty.
• 1:56
  SPEAKER_02: Doo doo doo doo.
• 1:57
  SPEAKER_01: Are we ready?
• 1:58
  SPEAKER_01: Audience, like we explained last time, they're basically just trying to guess the same thing.
• 2:01
  SPEAKER_01: They'll reveal their boards at the same time.
• 2:02
  SPEAKER_01: If they get the same answer, they get a point.
• 2:04
  SPEAKER_01: If they don't, they do not get a point.
• 2:05
  SPEAKER_01: I will be asking them the questions.
• 2:07
  SPEAKER_01: Gentlemen, are you ready to see if you know each other?
• 2:10
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 2:11
  SPEAKER_02: I've never been more ready for anything.
• 2:13
  SPEAKER_01: Alrighty.
• 2:14
  SPEAKER_01: This should be, I hope, relatively easy.
• 2:17
  SPEAKER_01: What is Dan's favorite book?
• 2:22
  SPEAKER_02: That I've mentioned so many times on this show itself.
• 2:26
  SPEAKER_00: Have you?
• 2:26
  SPEAKER_00: You've mentioned your favorite book?
• 2:29
  SPEAKER_02: Hey, Dan, I got up and came back.
• 2:32
  SPEAKER_02: Am I still sounding good?
• 2:34
  SPEAKER_02: Awesome.
• 2:35
  SPEAKER_02: I'm not talking to myself.
• 2:36
  SPEAKER_02: Our audio guy is named Dan.
• 2:38
  SPEAKER_01: Correct.
• 2:39
  SPEAKER_00: Dan's favorite book that he has mentioned multiple times.
• 2:43
  SPEAKER_00: I'm sure I'll remember the moment he says it.
• 2:45
  SPEAKER_00: Uh-huh.
• 2:46
  SPEAKER_00: I know what Ben's favorite book is.
• 2:47
  SPEAKER_00: I was roommates with Ben.
• 2:48
  SPEAKER_00: It's Ken and Monte Cristo.
• 2:49
  SPEAKER_00: Solid choice.
• 2:50
  SPEAKER_00: So I should answer for Ben on all of these too, because I bet I know Ben better than I know Dan.
• 2:55
  SPEAKER_00: That's funny.
• 2:56
  SPEAKER_00: Dan is my co-host and works with me.
• 2:58
  SPEAKER_00: We should get Ben on and do one with him.
• 3:01
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.

  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 3:02
  SPEAKER_02: Where we both try to guess what Ben things about Ben.

• 3:10
  SPEAKER_00: I thought this was a softball.
• 3:12
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 3:12
  SPEAKER_00: I'm sure you've mentioned it.
• 3:13
  SPEAKER_00: Like you said, you've mentioned it before.
• 3:16
  SPEAKER_00: It's going to be some weird horror thing.
• 3:18
  SPEAKER_02: I'm not going to give you anything.
• 3:20
  SPEAKER_02: I'm not going to cheat like I did with Don.
• 3:22
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, don't don't cheat.
• 3:23
  SPEAKER_00: I don't really want I don't really want any cheating.

• 3:30
  SPEAKER_00: Well, it's with I have to like do the same thing.
• 3:32
  SPEAKER_00: Right, you're still doing both sides.
• 3:33
  SPEAKER_00: That's fair.
• 3:34
  SPEAKER_00: Um, let's see.
• 3:35
  SPEAKER_02: We can put it like in the middle of the table and it'll still block my view of you.
• 3:39
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 3:40
  SPEAKER_00: I'll come adjust it.
• 3:41
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 3:41
  SPEAKER_00: All right, here we go.
• 3:42
  SPEAKER_00: I'm just guessing.
• 3:43
  SPEAKER_00: I have no idea.
• 3:44
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, I said Dracula.
• 3:45
  SPEAKER_02: Uh Dune.
• 3:47
  SPEAKER_02: Dune?
• 3:47
  SPEAKER_02: Dune.

  SPEAKER_02: 100% Dune.
• 3:49
  SPEAKER_02: Wow.
• 3:51
  SPEAKER_02: Yep.
• 3:52
  SPEAKER_02: Would you believe I've never actually read Dracula?
• 3:55
  SPEAKER_01: What?
• 3:55
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 3:56
  SPEAKER_01: That's crazy.
• 3:57
  SPEAKER_02: That is odd.
• 3:57
  SPEAKER_02: I know it is weird.
• 3:59
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 4:00
  SPEAKER_01: Second question.
• 4:01
  SPEAKER_01: To do the reverse.
• 4:03
  SPEAKER_01: What is Brandon's favorite board game?
• 4:06
  SPEAKER_02: Oh my gosh.
• 4:09
  SPEAKER_02: Does Brandon play board games?
• 4:10
  SPEAKER_01: I was gonna say, because we Dan would automatically be able to pick.
• 4:13
  SPEAKER_01: Does Brandon know a board game?
• 4:15
  SPEAKER_02: Yes.
• 4:15
  SPEAKER_02: I know exactly what his favorite board game is.
• 4:18
  SPEAKER_02: I'm not allowing card games.
• 4:20
  SPEAKER_02: No collectible card games.
• 4:22
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, because magic would be too easy.
• 4:23
  SPEAKER_01: That's why I said board game specifically.
• 4:26
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 4:26
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 4:27
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 4:27
  SPEAKER_01: Let's see.
• 4:28
  SPEAKER_00: None?
• 4:29
  SPEAKER_00: Is that what you wrote?
• 4:30
  SPEAKER_00: Gamma rotters.
• 4:31
  SPEAKER_00: Gamma rotters?
• 4:33
  SPEAKER_02: Because it's the only board game I think I've ever played with you.
• 4:36
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 4:38
  SPEAKER_00: I wrote none.
• 4:39
  SPEAKER_00: That's totally fair.
• 4:40
  SPEAKER_00: Like you said that and I'm like, do I like any board games?
• 4:43
  SPEAKER_00: If you ask me, do you want to sit down and play a board game?
• 4:46
  SPEAKER_00: I'll say no, please.
• 4:47
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 4:47
  SPEAKER_00: Most of the time.
• 4:49
  SPEAKER_00: I will if you really want to, but a lot of the time I'm just gonna be like, no.
• 4:53
  SPEAKER_00: So.
• 4:54
  SPEAKER_00: Super fair.
• 4:55
  SPEAKER_00: Alrighty.
• 4:56
  SPEAKER_01: According to you both, when did you officially become friends?
• 5:01
  SPEAKER_02: Ooh.
• 5:03
  SPEAKER_01: Do you want a date or a place?
• 5:04
  SPEAKER_01: I want a date.
• 5:05
  SPEAKER_01: Date.
• 5:06
  SPEAKER_01: A date?
• 5:07
  SPEAKER_02: Yes.
• 5:08
  SPEAKER_02: I can't even remember what the year was when I was in college.
• 5:12
  SPEAKER_01: It only matters that you write the same thing.
• 5:14
  SPEAKER_02: Can I just give a year?
• 5:16
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, that's what I'm doing.
• 5:17
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 5:18
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 5:19
  SPEAKER_02: Um, all right.
• 5:22
  SPEAKER_02: Ah, I think that's wrong.
• 5:24
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah?
• 5:26
  SPEAKER_01: How long?
• 5:27
  SPEAKER_01: Well, I guess this will this will determine.
• 5:28
  SPEAKER_01: Let's see.
• 5:29
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah.
• 5:29
  SPEAKER_01: Never mind.
• 5:31
  SPEAKER_02: Okay, I'm cheating.
• 5:32
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 5:33
  SPEAKER_01: Oh.
• 5:33
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 5:34
  SPEAKER_01: Let's see.
• 5:35
  SPEAKER_02: It was 98 or 99.
• 5:37
  SPEAKER_02: Yep.
• 5:38
  SPEAKER_02: See.
• 5:38
  SPEAKER_02: The class was 99.
• 5:40
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, that's that's what I was thinking.
• 5:41
  SPEAKER_02: Because I know I was in leading edge in 98.
• 5:44
  SPEAKER_02: Yep.
• 5:44
  SPEAKER_02: I'm counting that as correct.
• 5:47
  SPEAKER_02: Because 99 is what I put, and then I was like, wait, was the class 99?
• 5:51
  SPEAKER_00: You're counting it even though you cheated.
• 5:53
  unknown: Yes.
• 5:53
  SPEAKER_00: Class was 1999.
• 5:55
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 5:55
  SPEAKER_00: Yep.
• 5:56
  SPEAKER_00: I'd known you before, but I'd been at leading edge in the basement.
• 6:00
  SPEAKER_00: And it was the class that we began to.
• 6:02
  SPEAKER_02: You were down in production in the basement.
• 6:03
  SPEAKER_02: I was up top in editing.
• 6:05
  SPEAKER_00: Yep.
• 6:05
  SPEAKER_02: But I do know that I invited you to my wedding reception, and that was in May of 99.
• 6:11
  SPEAKER_00: May of ninety nine, yeah.
• 6:12
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 6:12
  SPEAKER_00: So the class was January 99.
• 6:15
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 6:16
  SPEAKER_00: So January to April is when we became friends.
• 6:19
  SPEAKER_00: I don't think you came to my bachelor party, though.
• 6:21
  SPEAKER_02: What was your bachelor party?
• 6:22
  SPEAKER_01: Playing StarCraft in a computer lab.
• 6:24
  SPEAKER_01: Nope, I did not.
• 6:25
  SPEAKER_01: I love that.
• 6:26
  SPEAKER_01: I'm gonna make you both feel old.
• 6:27
  SPEAKER_01: You have been friends longer than I have been alive.
• 6:30
  SPEAKER_01: Your tiny baby.
• 6:31
  SPEAKER_01: That doesn't mean anything to us.
• 6:33
  SPEAKER_01: Only about three months, but yeah.
• 6:34
  SPEAKER_01: That's very good for you, too.
• 6:36
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 6:37
  SPEAKER_01: If Brandon could be a misting, what elements of power would he pick?
• 6:42
  SPEAKER_01: I think Brandon will have a quick answer.
• 6:43
  SPEAKER_01: Dan, I'm curious if you've heard him talk about this before.
• 6:46
  SPEAKER_01: Because fans have asked me a lot.
• 6:48
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 6:49
  SPEAKER_02: I don't know.
• 6:51
  SPEAKER_02: I have not paid attention to interviews you've done.
• 6:54
  SPEAKER_02: So Okay, but I do have an answer.
• 6:56
  SPEAKER_02: Let's Okay.
• 6:57
  SPEAKER_00: Let's see if you get it right.
• 6:59
  SPEAKER_00: Nope.
• 7:00
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, dang it.
• 7:01
  SPEAKER_02: I said soothing.
• 7:02
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 7:03
  SPEAKER_00: Soothing would be cool, but I'd like to fly.
• 7:06
  SPEAKER_02: Okay, yeah.
• 7:06
  SPEAKER_02: I thought you would go for one of the social ones, but how can you not want to fly?
• 7:10
  SPEAKER_00: Problem is soothing is creepy.
• 7:13
  SPEAKER_00: In a real world setting, soothing is creepy.
• 7:16
  SPEAKER_00: And in a magical setting where you construct how people use it and the whole society is used to it, you can make it less creepy.
• 7:23
  SPEAKER_00: But in real life, I think it would just be creepy.
• 7:25
  SPEAKER_00: Totally.
• 7:27
  SPEAKER_01: All right.
• 7:27
  SPEAKER_01: Well, Dan, now I might be asking you a hard question.
• 7:29
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know.
• 7:30
  SPEAKER_01: If Dan had to be a Night Radiant, what would he likely be?
• 7:34
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, we took the whole thing.
• 7:35
  SPEAKER_02: We took the whole quiz.
• 7:37
  SPEAKER_00: You did?
• 7:37
  SPEAKER_00: That was one of our first ever podcasts.
• 7:40
  SPEAKER_00: As we took the test.
• 7:41
  SPEAKER_00: Do you remember?
• 7:42
  SPEAKER_00: That was like four years ago.
• 7:43
  SPEAKER_02: I absolutely don't remember what I got on that test.
• 7:46
  SPEAKER_02: I do remember which order of like pajamas I bought.
• 7:53
  SPEAKER_02: Oh boy.
• 7:54
  SPEAKER_02: Just because the colors scheme?
• 7:56
  SPEAKER_00: No.
• 7:57
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 7:57
  SPEAKER_00: I based it on what they do.
• 7:59
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 8:00
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 8:01
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 8:01
  SPEAKER_00: Well, that's the one then.

• 8:13
  SPEAKER_00: Bondsmith.
• 8:14
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 8:16
  SPEAKER_02: We did a thing.
• 8:17
  SPEAKER_02: Wheel Shaper's the weirdos.
• 8:20
  SPEAKER_02: All the officers had to say which radiant order they were.
• 8:23
  SPEAKER_02: And you and me and Emily and Isaac all said Bondsmith.
• 8:27
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 8:28
  SPEAKER_01: Uh huh.
• 8:28
  SPEAKER_01: That's a little surprising for Isaac.
• 8:30
  SPEAKER_01: Alright.
• 8:31
  SPEAKER_01: You two are about to go on a bros trip for a week.
• 8:34
  SPEAKER_01: According to you, where would you two go?
• 8:38
  SPEAKER_02: Where would I go on a bros trip with a channel?
• 8:40
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 8:41
  SPEAKER_01: Without talking to each other, you know, you both instinctively know that you two are going on a trip where.
• 8:47
  SPEAKER_02: So this can't be a place that I'm dragging him.
• 8:49
  SPEAKER_02: It's one place that I know we'll both arrive at.
• 8:52
  SPEAKER_02: We both are thinking, oh, of course we're going here.
• 8:55
  SPEAKER_01: Correct.
• 8:56
  SPEAKER_01: Your heart of hearts knows this, Dan.
• 9:03
  SPEAKER_00: Just me and Dan, though.
• 9:04
  SPEAKER_00: Just you and Dan.
• 9:05
  SPEAKER_00: Just me and Dan.
• 9:06
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, no wives.
• 9:06
  SPEAKER_00: No wives.
• 9:07
  SPEAKER_00: Just me and Dan.
• 9:09
  SPEAKER_02: Wow.
• 9:11
  SPEAKER_02: Can this be a business trip?
• 9:12
  SPEAKER_02: Because with the two of us, it will be very hard for it not to be a business trip.
• 9:15
  SPEAKER_01: Like I have said, it's whatever you write on the board.
• 9:17
  SPEAKER_01: So it could be.
• 9:19
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 9:20
  SPEAKER_02: Here we go.
• 9:21
  SPEAKER_00: This is gonna be wrong, but it's where I would pick.
• 9:23
  SPEAKER_00: Okay if I were gonna go anywhere with Dan.
• 9:26
  SPEAKER_00: Interesting.
• 9:27
  SPEAKER_00: Yep.
• 9:28
  SPEAKER_00: Alrighty.
• 9:29
  SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna put in number two.
• 9:32
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, love it.
• 9:34
  SPEAKER_00: Number two doesn't count.
• 9:35
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 9:36
  SPEAKER_00: But it's the funny.
• 9:37
  SPEAKER_00: It's just yeah.
• 9:38
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 9:38
  SPEAKER_00: This is the first one.
• 9:39
  SPEAKER_00: It's like my I'm digging to like the honesty of where would I want so?
• 9:43
  SPEAKER_00: What have you got here, Dan?
• 9:44
  SPEAKER_02: I'm still writing.
• 9:46
  SPEAKER_02: I'm writing a whole sentence.
• 9:49
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 9:51
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 9:51
  SPEAKER_01: All right, author.
• 9:53
  SPEAKER_02: This now you're gonna see why I uh failed with my wife.
• 9:56
  SPEAKER_02: Germany, number two, Mexico.
• 9:58
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 9:59
  SPEAKER_02: I was more specific than that.
• 10:01
  SPEAKER_02: A big fancy hotel that's near a beach, and also there's something cool and nerdy nearby.
• 10:06
  SPEAKER_01: Hmm.
• 10:07
  SPEAKER_01: You know, I think you two wrote something differently on your boards.
• 10:10
  SPEAKER_00: So the reason I picked this is Dan's lived in Germany.
• 10:13
  SPEAKER_00: He speaks German.
• 10:14
  SPEAKER_00: I like going places with people that they have a connection to.
• 10:19
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 10:19
  SPEAKER_00: Like, what would I like?
• 10:20
  SPEAKER_00: Dan actually got it right.
• 10:22
  SPEAKER_00: In fact, I think you would maybe want to give him a point on this one because if I want to go somewhere, he knows where I want to go.
• 10:28
  SPEAKER_00: He knows that I want to go right on the beach.
• 10:30
  SPEAKER_00: But when I sat down, I almost wrote Hawaii, and then I thought, I don't want to take like me and Dan on a romantic trip to Hawaii.
• 10:37
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, or something about romance.
• 10:38
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 10:39
  SPEAKER_00: I'm like, where would I actually want to go with Dan?
• 10:41
  SPEAKER_00: Where I would want to go by myself is Hawaii.
• 10:43
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 10:43
  SPEAKER_00: With Dan, I'd want to go to one of these places where I've lived where he's lived.
• 10:46
  SPEAKER_00: Like Dan could take you to all the best food places and the best museums and things like that.
• 10:51
  SPEAKER_00: So totally makes sense.
• 10:53
  SPEAKER_00: Yep.
• 10:55
  SPEAKER_00: So I think I'm zero so far.
• 10:57
  SPEAKER_01: Uh we've got oh, I got one.
• 10:59
  SPEAKER_01: We got one.
• 11:00
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 11:00
  SPEAKER_01: We have a few.5s, technically.
• 11:02
  SPEAKER_01: We can count.
• 11:03
  SPEAKER_02: By the way, speaking of Mexico, I have to tell you, I have decided that it's okay for me to just say that I'm Mexican now.
• 11:10
  SPEAKER_02: Oh.
• 11:11
  SPEAKER_02: Because there was a famous Colombian singer.
• 11:14
  SPEAKER_02: Uh-huh.
• 11:15
  SPEAKER_02: And right now I can't remember his name.
• 11:17
  SPEAKER_02: But he at one point in an interview said he was Mexican because he'd lived there for so long.
• 11:21
  SPEAKER_02: And the interviewer said, You're not Mexican, you're from Colombia.
• 11:25
  SPEAKER_02: And this guy said, A Mexican is born wherever he damn well pleases.
• 11:30
  SPEAKER_02: And yes, it's true.
• 11:32
  SPEAKER_00: Like, if you live in America for 10 years, we're going to call you an American.
• 11:37
  SPEAKER_00: You live in Mexico for 10 years, then seems like that would be appropriate.
• 11:41
  SPEAKER_00: It's just tricky because there's an ethnicity associated with a nationality, which America doesn't have to the same to the same extent as Colombia does.
• 11:51
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 11:52
  SPEAKER_00: But but that quote is pretty awesome.
• 11:54
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 11:54
  SPEAKER_02: Un mexicano nace donde le da su gana.
• 11:58
  SPEAKER_02: I didn't say the swear part in Spanish, but we appreciate you keeping it family friendly.
• 12:04
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah.
• 12:04
  SPEAKER_00: For our Spanish listeners with their kids.
• 12:07
  SPEAKER_01: All right.
• 12:08
  SPEAKER_01: Dan can choose one IP to delete from the world, erasing all people's memory of it in the process.
• 12:14
  SPEAKER_01: What does he pick?
• 12:15
  SPEAKER_02: Ooh.
• 12:17
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, this is a power I've longed for.
• 12:20
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 12:21
  SPEAKER_00: There are so many.
• 12:23
  SPEAKER_02: To get rid of an IP.
• 12:25
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, I have so many answers that I want to give just to make our listeners angry.
• 12:31
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, that would be so fun.
• 12:34
  SPEAKER_02: Who do you hate the most, though, of them all?
• 12:37
  SPEAKER_00: One IP.
• 12:38
  SPEAKER_01: One IP.
• 12:39
  SPEAKER_01: Completely gone.
• 12:41
  SPEAKER_00: Oh.
• 12:41
  SPEAKER_00: Hmm.
• 12:43
  SPEAKER_00: It can't be that.
• 12:44
  SPEAKER_00: It can't be that.
• 12:45
  SPEAKER_01: Um I honestly have no idea what this will be.
• 12:48
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 12:49
  SPEAKER_00: It's gonna be something I cannot possibly anticipate that he's going to pick.
• 12:53
  SPEAKER_00: It's gonna be something weird that he's just gonna, he's gonna be like, I'm deleting Mario fandom.
• 12:58
  SPEAKER_00: And I'm like, what?
• 12:59
  SPEAKER_01: Dude, Mario would be a wild.
• 13:00
  SPEAKER_00: Why would you pick that?
• 13:01
  SPEAKER_00: And Dan's like, oh, a stupid hat.
• 13:04
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, okay, Dan.
• 13:07
  SPEAKER_01: Like, right.
• 13:08
  SPEAKER_00: You know?
• 13:09
  SPEAKER_01: I hope he just doesn't pick Star Wars, just to be like, I've been burdened by the knowledge of the world.
• 13:14
  SPEAKER_00: I don't think he can pick Star Wars because he likes the originals too much.
• 13:17
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 13:18
  SPEAKER_00: It's too much.
• 13:18
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 13:19
  SPEAKER_00: Right?
• 13:19
  SPEAKER_00: I actually I wrote S T and then I deleted it because he actually legit loves the originals.
• 13:24
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 13:25
  SPEAKER_00: And losing that along with all of the trash.
• 13:28
  SPEAKER_00: It's gotta be something that's trash that, yeah.
• 13:32
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 13:33
  SPEAKER_02: Oh boy.
• 13:34
  SPEAKER_01: Hmm.
• 13:35
  SPEAKER_02: Honestly.
• 13:36
  SPEAKER_01: Honestly.
• 13:37
  SPEAKER_02: I don't know.
• 13:39
  SPEAKER_02: The thing is, as a creator myself, I'm thinking, which creator do I want to just destroy your life's work?
• 13:46
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 13:47
  SPEAKER_02: And that would not know.
• 13:49
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 13:50
  SPEAKER_01: But if you will, they'll never know.
• 13:53
  SPEAKER_01: The memory is gone at that point.
• 13:57
  SPEAKER_02: Clean slate, if you will, to some degree.
• 14:00
  SPEAKER_02: Which fandom?
• 14:01
  SPEAKER_02: Which fandom annoys me the most?
• 14:04
  SPEAKER_02: I know exactly which fandom annoys me the most, but I don't want to delete their.
• 14:08
  SPEAKER_00: I don't want to delete the thing that they're fans of because I also love it.
• 14:15
  SPEAKER_01: We can do that.
• 14:16
  SPEAKER_01: Which fandom do you hate the most?
• 14:17
  SPEAKER_01: Totally down for that.
• 14:17
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, which fandom do you hate the most?
• 14:19
  SPEAKER_02: Well, see, that's the same question to me.
• 14:20
  SPEAKER_02: Is it?
• 14:21
  SPEAKER_02: Because if I hate it, I'll just get rid of it.
• 14:23
  SPEAKER_02: But like, for example, what I was thinking is Doctor Who.
• 14:26
  SPEAKER_02: I love Doctor Who.
• 14:28
  SPEAKER_02: I hate Doctor Who fans.
• 14:29
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 14:30
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 14:30
  SPEAKER_02: So that was nowhere on my list.
• 14:32
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, same boat.
• 14:33
  SPEAKER_02: Their own butts about Doctor Who.
• 14:36
  SPEAKER_02: So I don't want to delete it.
• 14:37
  SPEAKER_02: Unless I can delete it, except for my copy.
• 14:40
  SPEAKER_00: No, it's we changed the question to which fandom.
• 14:43
  SPEAKER_02: Which fandom?
• 14:44
  SPEAKER_02: Get rid of a fandom entirely?
• 14:46
  SPEAKER_02: Oh.
• 14:46
  SPEAKER_02: Not the property.
• 14:47
  SPEAKER_02: Not the property.
• 14:48
  SPEAKER_00: You changed it to that.
• 14:49
  SPEAKER_00: But you can now say Doctor Who's.
• 14:51
  SPEAKER_00: No, I can't say Doctor Who's.
• 14:52
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, I understand now.
• 14:54
  SPEAKER_00: I know.
• 14:54
  SPEAKER_00: I'm just going to put down one I think Dan would agree with.
• 14:57
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 14:58
  SPEAKER_00: But yeah.
• 15:00
  SPEAKER_02: Oh man.
• 15:00
  SPEAKER_02: This is such a hard choice.
• 15:03
  SPEAKER_02: I don't know if I could do it.
• 15:05
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 15:05
  SPEAKER_02: I know exactly what I'm going to say.
• 15:07
  SPEAKER_02: That's a good pivot.
• 15:08
  SPEAKER_02: I agree.
• 15:09
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 15:09
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 15:10
  SPEAKER_00: As creator, I agree with Dan.
• 15:11
  SPEAKER_00: We don't want to delete what's created.
• 15:13
  SPEAKER_02: This is going to make people so mad at me.
• 15:15
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 15:16
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 15:16
  SPEAKER_00: So mad at me.
• 15:17
  SPEAKER_00: The one fans.
• 15:18
  SPEAKER_02: Ever said something this controversial on the show.
• 15:21
  SPEAKER_02: What did you say?
• 15:22
  SPEAKER_02: Disney fandom.
• 15:23
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, getting rid of Disney adults and everything.
• 15:25
  SPEAKER_00: I feel like you would be.
• 15:28
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 15:28
  SPEAKER_00: But I think Dawn is one.
• 15:30
  SPEAKER_00: Is she?
• 15:31
  SPEAKER_00: Does she like Disney?
• 15:32
  SPEAKER_02: No, but my sister and uh her husband are both huge Disney fans.
• 15:35
  SPEAKER_02: So I got rid of Disney.
• 15:37
  SPEAKER_02: Extremely Disney adult.
• 15:38
  SPEAKER_00: That weird Disney thing that people do.
• 15:41
  SPEAKER_00: So I thought Dan might agree with that.
• 15:44
  SPEAKER_02: You ready for the collective rage of the internet?
• 15:47
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 15:48
  SPEAKER_02: Gravity Falls.
• 15:49
  SPEAKER_02: Oh yeah.
• 15:51
  SPEAKER_02: Because Gravity Falls doesn't click for me at all.
• 15:55
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 15:56
  SPEAKER_02: And yet no one is obnoxious about their fandom of it, but I've never seen anybody not like it.
• 16:03
  SPEAKER_02: It's always just in my face as this is obviously the greatest TV show of all time.
• 16:09
  SPEAKER_02: And I don't know.
• 16:11
  SPEAKER_02: I didn't didn't really like it.
• 16:13
  SPEAKER_00: I've seen two episodes.
• 16:14
  SPEAKER_00: I thought they were both excellent.
• 16:15
  SPEAKER_00: So I like the show.
• 16:17
  SPEAKER_00: So I could not have never guessed that.
• 16:19
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I just don't want to be constantly reminded that I'm the only human being on earth that doesn't like Gravity Falls.
• 16:25
  SPEAKER_00: That's the very Dan reason to hate something.
• 16:27
  SPEAKER_00: I think uh if you were gonna ask me, it would be Rick and Morty fandom.
• 16:30
  SPEAKER_01: I in my heart, I had a feeling you would say that, honestly.
• 16:34
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 16:34
  SPEAKER_02: Well, Deadpool was right up there.
• 16:36
  SPEAKER_02: Deadpool's close.
• 16:37
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 16:37
  SPEAKER_02: For the same reason.
• 16:38
  SPEAKER_02: The fans are very obnoxious.
• 16:40
  SPEAKER_01: That's fair.
• 16:41
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 16:42
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 16:44
  SPEAKER_01: Brandon gets one true wish, no monkey pawing.
• 16:47
  SPEAKER_01: What does he wish for?
• 16:49
  SPEAKER_02: Oh man.
• 16:50
  SPEAKER_02: One true wish.
• 16:52
  SPEAKER_02: Yes.
• 16:53
  SPEAKER_02: I'm gonna right now say no religious answers.
• 16:56
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 16:57
  SPEAKER_02: Because you're not just gonna wish that you and all your family go to heaven, right?
• 17:01
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 17:02
  SPEAKER_00: Well, you can't do that because that violates.
• 17:04
  SPEAKER_02: I know that violates the fundamental principle of our religious version of heaven.
• 17:08
  SPEAKER_02: Um okay.
• 17:10
  SPEAKER_01: I had to make it so we both got at least one hard question.
• 17:13
  SPEAKER_02: Boy.
• 17:15
  SPEAKER_02: What do I think Brandon would wish for if you're gonna do it?
• 17:18
  SPEAKER_01: You haven't stayed up late at night looking at the stars, talking about what your your hopes and dreams are, Dan?
• 17:22
  SPEAKER_01: With Brandon?
• 17:23
  SPEAKER_02: Laying on the hood of a car watching airplanes land.
• 17:27
  SPEAKER_02: I know what Emily would wish for.
• 17:29
  SPEAKER_02: Really?
• 17:32
  SPEAKER_02: I'll tell you after.
• 17:32
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 17:33
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
• 17:35
  SPEAKER_00: This one's actually pretty easy for me to answer.
• 17:38
  SPEAKER_00: I thought so.
• 17:39
  SPEAKER_01: I was like, maybe this one isn't too tough.
• 17:40
  SPEAKER_00: Pretty easy for me to answer.
• 17:41
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 17:42
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 17:43
  SPEAKER_01: I believe in you, Dan.
• 17:45
  SPEAKER_01: You know, I have found I appreciate Dan's answers because they often have some nuance to it, if you will.
• 17:50
  SPEAKER_00: All right.
• 17:51
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 17:52
  SPEAKER_00: So I wrote for Dan to Love Gravity Falls.
• 17:56
  SPEAKER_00: No, I did not.
• 17:57
  SPEAKER_00: But that would have been good.
• 17:58
  SPEAKER_00: That would have been good.
• 17:59
  SPEAKER_00: All right.
• 18:00
  SPEAKER_00: I wrote post-scarcity world.
• 18:02
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 18:02
  SPEAKER_00: Yep.
• 18:03
  SPEAKER_02: I mean you kind of wrote post-scarcity world.
• 18:05
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I you know.
• 18:06
  SPEAKER_00: I'm like post-scarcity with a C.
• 18:10
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
• 18:11
  SPEAKER_02: Scarcity.
• 18:12
  SPEAKER_00: Scarcity, scarcity, scarcity.
• 18:14
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 18:14
  SPEAKER_02: You were you were more benevolent.
• 18:15
  SPEAKER_02: I said a vast and excellent MCU of the entire Cosmere.
• 18:20
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 18:20
  SPEAKER_02: That gets created with quality and love.
• 18:24
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 18:25
  SPEAKER_00: Covers all the books.
• 18:26
  SPEAKER_00: I would love that, but like I can't ask for anything that takes away agency.
• 18:31
  SPEAKER_00: So there'd be no violence.
• 18:32
  SPEAKER_00: You can't actually wish for world peace, I don't think.
• 18:34
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 18:35
  SPEAKER_00: But I think all agency can exist in a post-scarcity society.
• 18:40
  SPEAKER_00: It would be awesome to get a to a post-scarce society.
• 18:44
  SPEAKER_00: So I think that jives with my personal ethics and morals.
• 18:49
  SPEAKER_00: And so I approve.
• 18:52
  SPEAKER_00: Super.
• 18:53
  SPEAKER_00: It's an excellent choice.
• 18:54
  SPEAKER_00: Yep.
• 18:54
  SPEAKER_00: I started with everyone having scarcity society is Star Trek.
• 18:58
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 18:58
  SPEAKER_00: The culture.
• 18:59
  SPEAKER_00: Pretty cool.
• 19:00
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 19:00
  SPEAKER_00: So yeah, I started with enough food for everyone.
• 19:03
  SPEAKER_00: I'm like, no, we could go further than that.
• 19:04
  SPEAKER_00: It's a wish.
• 19:05
  SPEAKER_00: It's a wish.
• 19:06
  SPEAKER_00: No monkeys pieing.
• 19:07
  SPEAKER_00: Yep.
• 19:07
  SPEAKER_00: It's post scarcity society.
• 19:09
  SPEAKER_00: Suppose scarce.
• 19:12
  SPEAKER_00: That thing.
• 19:13
  SPEAKER_02: A postcarity society.
• 19:15
  SPEAKER_02: Yep.
• 19:16
  SPEAKER_01: Alrighty.
• 19:18
  SPEAKER_01: Looking at your pasts, what would you consider to be your favorite memory between you two?
• 19:23
  SPEAKER_03: Ooh.
• 19:25
  SPEAKER_02: Favorite memory.
• 19:26
  SPEAKER_02: Favorite memory.
• 19:27
  SPEAKER_02: Dan.
• 19:27
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 19:27
  SPEAKER_02: Brandon.
• 19:29
  SPEAKER_02: This is going to be different for both of us, I think, by definition.
• 19:32
  SPEAKER_01: So am I trying to write what Dan would write?
• 19:35
  SPEAKER_01: You were trying to write what the bull the other person's going to write.
• 19:38
  SPEAKER_01: So you guys are killing me.
• 19:40
  SPEAKER_00: So I have to write what mine is and what I think Dan thinks.
• 19:44
  SPEAKER_00: So I have to write two.
• 19:45
  SPEAKER_00: Sure, we can do two answers on this one.
• 19:46
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I right?
• 19:48
  SPEAKER_01: What do I think?
• 19:49
  SPEAKER_01: Again, both ways work, but yes, we can write what is Brandon's, what is Dan's.
• 19:53
  SPEAKER_01: What is Dan's?
• 19:55
  SPEAKER_02: I don't know if I can nail down a specific instance.
• 19:59
  SPEAKER_02: I have like a category of favorite memory.
• 20:03
  SPEAKER_01: You just gotta write the same thing, Dan.
• 20:06
  SPEAKER_02: I know.
• 20:08
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 20:09
  SPEAKER_00: I'm just, you know, taking a shock.
• 20:11
  SPEAKER_02: Okay, I'm writing down the category.
• 20:13
  SPEAKER_02: I guess that's a clue, huh?
• 20:15
  SPEAKER_02: I actually did a category too.
• 20:17
  SPEAKER_00: See?
• 20:18
  SPEAKER_00: That's all we're looking for.
• 20:20
  SPEAKER_00: Yep.
• 20:20
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 20:21
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 20:22
  SPEAKER_00: So for Dan.
• 20:23
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 20:24
  SPEAKER_00: Yep.
• 20:24
  SPEAKER_00: I wrote watching bad movies together.
• 20:27
  SPEAKER_02: That's a good one.
• 20:28
  SPEAKER_02: That's not what I wrote.
• 20:29
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 20:30
  SPEAKER_02: Honestly, mine is being invited in to BvP.
• 20:34
  SPEAKER_02: Uh because that came from a lifetime of friendship and I think trust.
• 20:40
  SPEAKER_02: It was an honor to say, hey Dan, I trust you to come and write books in my world.
• 20:47
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 20:48
  SPEAKER_02: So that's cool.
• 20:50
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 20:50
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 20:51
  SPEAKER_00: Mine is when it's kind of actually similar.
• 20:54
  SPEAKER_00: I got to be there when you figured out Serial Killer, how to write I Am Not a Serial Killer.
• 20:59
  SPEAKER_02: That is essentially what my second answer is: brainstorming stories together.
• 21:02
  SPEAKER_02: We'll count it.
• 21:03
  SPEAKER_00: Like those, the ride home where you're telling us about the McDonald Triangle, and then seeing you come back with that first John Cleaver narrative, and just knowing that you had just written a breakout book and being able to workshop it and anything was really fun.
• 21:21
  SPEAKER_02: I rarely have more fun than when Brandon and I get to sit down and say, okay, here's this new book.
• 21:28
  SPEAKER_02: What do we want to do?
• 21:29
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 21:30
  SPEAKER_02: We both have an extremely similar sense of absurdist humor.
• 21:35
  SPEAKER_02: It's the reason we at one point made the rule that we can't both be players in an RPG at the same time.
• 21:41
  SPEAKER_02: One of us has to be game master.
• 21:43
  SPEAKER_02: Yep.
• 21:43
  SPEAKER_02: Because we will run anything off the rails.
• 21:46
  SPEAKER_02: And so trying to do that while also being professional and come up with something viable, which we've done many times.
• 21:53
  SPEAKER_02: Yep.
• 21:54
  SPEAKER_02: I love it.
• 21:55
  SPEAKER_01: Fair enough.
• 21:56
  SPEAKER_01: All right.
• 21:57
  SPEAKER_01: I've got three questions left.
• 21:58
  SPEAKER_01: We only have time for one.
• 21:59
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 22:00
  SPEAKER_01: Do we want a Brandon, a Dan, or a combination?
• 22:02
  SPEAKER_01: Let's do the combination.
• 22:03
  SPEAKER_01: Do the combo.
• 22:04
  SPEAKER_01: All right.
• 22:05
  SPEAKER_01: You've both been approached to head to Mars to start the next human colony.
• 22:10
  SPEAKER_01: But only one of you can go with their family.
• 22:12
  SPEAKER_01: One of you has to go.
• 22:14
  SPEAKER_01: Who is going?
• 22:15
  SPEAKER_01: Wait.
• 22:16
  SPEAKER_01: One of us has to go.
• 22:17
  SPEAKER_02: One of you blasts.
• 22:17
  SPEAKER_02: One of us has to go.
• 22:18
  SPEAKER_02: Which person would we choose to send to Mars with their family.
• 22:24
  SPEAKER_01: With their family.
• 22:24
  SPEAKER_01: So you're not leaving anyone behind.
• 22:26
  SPEAKER_01: You're bringing all your loved ones, if you will.
• 22:28
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 22:29
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 22:30
  SPEAKER_01: One of us we have to.
• 22:31
  SPEAKER_01: Who do you think between you two will do it?
• 22:35
  SPEAKER_01: Oh man.
• 22:36
  SPEAKER_01: And we've gotten to the point to help add the nuance.
• 22:39
  SPEAKER_01: One of us has to go.
• 22:41
  SPEAKER_00: We have to come up with a Yeah.
• 22:43
  SPEAKER_00: One of us has to go.
• 22:44
  SPEAKER_01: One of us has to go.
• 22:45
  SPEAKER_01: We're not thinking Martian, we're thinking like they have figured out how to send a colony that will like be able to.
• 22:50
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, but they have to like live underground or whatever.
• 22:52
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 22:54
  SPEAKER_01: But like you will have amenities.
• 22:56
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 22:57
  SPEAKER_02: I have my answer.
• 22:58
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 22:59
  SPEAKER_02: Oh boy.
• 23:00
  SPEAKER_02: And when you think about it, it is the only real answer.
• 23:04
  SPEAKER_02: Who between you and I would we send to Mars?
• 23:07
  SPEAKER_00: Well, with their family is the problem.
• 23:09
  SPEAKER_00: Well, right.
• 23:10
  SPEAKER_00: Is it better?
• 23:11
  SPEAKER_00: It's really easy if it's you and I.
• 23:13
  SPEAKER_00: Really.
• 23:13
  SPEAKER_00: I thought the family is.
• 23:17
  SPEAKER_00: If it's just Brandon and I, it's me because I don't have mental health challenges that I would be able to survive in a small closed situation.
• 23:25
  SPEAKER_00: But if you send me, you have to send Emily.
• 23:27
  SPEAKER_03: Right.
• 23:28
  SPEAKER_00: Who would really struggle.
• 23:29
  SPEAKER_00: You have to send Joel, who would really struggle.
• 23:32
  SPEAKER_00: And so the question is who in their families has the least mental health challenges?
• 23:37
  SPEAKER_00: Right?
• 23:37
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 23:38
  SPEAKER_02: So my answer solves that problem.
• 23:40
  SPEAKER_00: Oh yeah?
• 23:41
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 23:41
  SPEAKER_00: That is true.
• 23:42
  SPEAKER_00: You can.
• 23:43
  SPEAKER_00: I wrote you if it's with the family, because Dawn can keep you all together.
• 23:48
  SPEAKER_02: Dawn would be the glue that holds us together 100%.
• 23:53
  SPEAKER_02: Yes.
• 23:54
  SPEAKER_02: And I would not survive Mars without her.
• 23:56
  SPEAKER_02: However, if you and I get to decide who gets sent to Mars, it's Donald.
• 24:02
  SPEAKER_02: Oh.
• 24:02
  SPEAKER_02: There we go.
• 24:04
  SPEAKER_02: That's actually a pretty safe pick.
• 24:05
  SPEAKER_02: I don't have a family.
• 24:06
  SPEAKER_02: He'd be happy.
• 24:07
  SPEAKER_02: He doesn't have to.
• 24:08
  SPEAKER_02: I'm on board with that.
• 24:10
  SPEAKER_00: He would love exploring Mars.
• 24:12
  SPEAKER_00: The answer is not great for either of us because you have some children that and yourself that that would probably just be a death sentence to.
• 24:20
  SPEAKER_00: Possibly.
• 24:21
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 24:21
  SPEAKER_00: And I have a wife and some kids that it would probably also be a death sentence to.
• 24:25
  SPEAKER_00: So you're asking us whose family are we going to kill?
• 24:28
  SPEAKER_00: So thank you for the question, Donald.
• 24:29
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 24:30
  SPEAKER_01: I added that in thinking, oh, this will probably help because they don't have to abandon their family.
• 24:34
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I didn't consider that part.
• 24:35
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 24:35
  SPEAKER_00: So makes a lot of sense.
• 24:37
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 24:37
  SPEAKER_00: Whose family, like between the two of us, easy.
• 24:40
  SPEAKER_00: I can survive that, I think, better.
• 24:42
  SPEAKER_00: I don't want to go.
• 24:43
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 24:44
  SPEAKER_00: But it becomes between my friend goes and probably dies, or I go and don't probably die, then I'm going to go to Mars.
• 24:51
  SPEAKER_00: But that makes sense?
• 24:53
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 24:53
  SPEAKER_03: Mm-hmm.
• 24:54
  SPEAKER_01: Cool.
• 24:55
  SPEAKER_00: Well, on that note, how many did we get right?
• 24:59
  SPEAKER_00: Zero?
• 25:00
  SPEAKER_00: We got so I got two.
• 25:03
  SPEAKER_00: I got one early on, and then I got the brainstorming stories together one.
• 25:06
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 25:07
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 25:07
  SPEAKER_00: We did get that one together, huh?
• 25:09
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 25:09
  SPEAKER_00: So we got that one.
• 25:11
  SPEAKER_01: And we got one early on.
• 25:13
  SPEAKER_01: If you wanted to, you guys were like, you know, the officially become friends thing after Dan's.
• 25:17
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, I got that one and Dan didn't.
• 25:19
  SPEAKER_00: Correct.
• 25:20
  SPEAKER_00: You don't get it if I don't get it.
• 25:21
  SPEAKER_00: No, there's a right answer, and one of us wrote it down and one of us didn't.
• 25:26
  SPEAKER_00: The right answer is 99 and you admit it.
• 25:29
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 25:30
  SPEAKER_00: It's absolutely one of us wrote the right answer and one of us didn't.
• 25:33
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 25:33
  SPEAKER_00: Fine.
• 25:34
  SPEAKER_00: But I feel like you got a few on me that I didn't get on you.
• 25:37
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, if we're dividing it that way, sure.
• 25:41
  SPEAKER_01: You guys are friends.
• 25:44
  SPEAKER_01: How many did we actually get?
• 25:46
  SPEAKER_01: What do you do you have a couple?
• 25:47
  SPEAKER_01: I would total it up without cheating?
• 25:49
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 25:50
  SPEAKER_01: Two.
• 25:50
  SPEAKER_01: Two?
• 25:51
  SPEAKER_01: With cheating, 3.5.
• 25:53
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 25:54
  SPEAKER_02: Even cheating, we get 3.5.
• 25:56
  SPEAKER_02: What are the two that we got clean?
• 25:57
  SPEAKER_01: The date one is pretty safe, and then you collaborating on.
• 26:01
  SPEAKER_01: What's the date one?
• 26:02
  SPEAKER_01: The like, yeah.
• 26:03
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah, he's giving that.
• 26:04
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 26:04
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 26:05
  SPEAKER_00: Dan knew when it was, he just didn't know the year.
• 26:07
  SPEAKER_00: That's why I was like, I'll count it.
• 26:08
  SPEAKER_00: That's close.
• 26:10
  SPEAKER_00: We both said the same time.
• 26:11
  SPEAKER_00: When we went to the class together.
• 26:13
  SPEAKER_00: Exactly.
• 26:13
  SPEAKER_00: Uh is when we became interesting.
• 26:15
  SPEAKER_01: And more so when we formed a writing group outside of class, but you knew the time.
• 26:20
  SPEAKER_01: Cool.
• 26:21
  SPEAKER_01: Those are my questions.
• 26:22
  SPEAKER_00: So we got two.
• 26:24
  SPEAKER_00: Yay, us.
• 26:25
  SPEAKER_00: So I don't know you better than you know your wife.
• 26:28
  SPEAKER_00: So that's good.
• 26:29
  SPEAKER_00: That's a good thing.
• 26:30
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 26:30
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 26:30
  SPEAKER_02: But you can see why Don and I got so few correct.
• 26:34
  SPEAKER_02: Yes.
• 26:34
  SPEAKER_02: Yes, because you write some very interesting things sometimes.
• 26:36
  SPEAKER_02: Well, and because he asks ridiculous questions that I don't even know the answer to.
• 26:42
  SPEAKER_02: Which fandom would you delete?
• 26:44
  SPEAKER_02: Gravity Falls.
• 26:46
  SPEAKER_02: Honestly, in hindsight, it's the Deadpool fandom.
• 26:49
  SPEAKER_02: 100%.
• 26:50
  SPEAKER_02: You know, that's a good thing.
• 26:51
  SPEAKER_02: I have been to so many Comic Cons that have made a rule.
• 26:54
  SPEAKER_02: I'm not making this up.
• 26:55
  SPEAKER_02: They've made a rule that if you go to a panel and you have a mask on, you're not allowed to ask questions.
• 27:00
  SPEAKER_02: And that is 100% because of people dressed as Deadpool.
• 27:04
  SPEAKER_02: Because they think they can do anything, and people would be like, Oh, Deadpool's so goofy.
• 27:09
  SPEAKER_02: So, anyway.
• 27:10
  SPEAKER_02: How's that, Ben?
