  Speaker 1: ex pole, because I'll bet there are a lot of
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: things like this that people could talk about, okay, as
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: long as they're innocent in nature. Misunderstanding and things we
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: mishear and then believe for years make life a whole
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: lot funnier. Take, for instance, my former step brother who
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: on a road trip heard Lenny Kravitz cover of Guess
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: Who's of Guess Who's American Woman playing and he bellowed
• 0:51

  Speaker 1: I don't know who this is, uh, he asked our
• 1:08

  Speaker 1: To this day. But one other. Yeah, okay, so somebody,
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: so somebody says a visual This is a visual artist
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: and storyteller at Marvel named Dalton Conde. About a year ago,
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: I stumbled on a post talking about X and quickly
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: learned X, I c K S I, and quickly learned
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: that I was doing something many people consider to be
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: an ick. I now know that the I in salmon
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: is silent. The excuse me, the l L it's that silent.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: So I looked at the I didn't read ahead, and
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: it looked like an eye and the salmon. Yeah. So
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: apparently this guy has been saying salmon all of his
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: life until recently. Carrie ar said, I recently learned that
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: a pony is not a miniature horse. The difference between well,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: it's not a big horse either. It's not like a

  Speaker 1: real horse. A pony is just a young horse. No,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: it's not.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: I had ponies when I was a kid, and they
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: were like little pony.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: Might have had Shetland pony. All right. See, I'm learning
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: late in life the difference between cicadas, cicadas and tin
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: nitis and that other people can't hear tonightis what. I'm
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: not sure what that means. The difference between cicadas and tonightis,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: so did people hear the cicadasn't think that they had
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: tonightis and the other people can't hear? I don't. I don't.

  Speaker 1: that you could save, that you could shave your bikini line,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: or that you should shave your bikini line. And this, this,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: I know, is a hard lesson for you, Todd, that
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: you should shave your bikini line in the direction of
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: hair growth, not against it, because if you don't, it
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: will avoid you. You will itch like crazy for days afterwards.
