Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome back to Luke's English podcast. How are
- 0:02Speaker 1: you doing? I hope you're doing all right. This is
- 0:05Speaker 1: a podcast for learners of English around the world, and
- 0:08Speaker 1: in these episodes, I talk to you in English. That's
- 0:12Speaker 1: the idea in order to help you learn English. And
- 0:15Speaker 1: we do different things, including stories and rambling and conversations
- 0:21Speaker 1: and other things of that nature, including occasionally these episodes
- 0:25Speaker 1: where I read out jokes see if you can understand
- 0:30Speaker 1: them and find them funny, and then explain them in
- 0:34Speaker 1: order to help you understand them fully and hopefully learn
- 0:37Speaker 1: some vocabulary from them as well. So I'm going to
- 0:40Speaker 1: start reading from some notes that I prepared for this introduction.
- 0:45Speaker 1: I'm going to start doing that. Now here we go.
- 0:47Speaker 1: Poo pooh. Okay, So Random Jokes Explained. I don't know
- 0:51Speaker 1: how many jokes there will be, but I think by
- 0:53Speaker 1: the time this episode is published, there will be a
- 0:56Speaker 1: number at the beginning of this so it'll be something like,
- 0:58Speaker 1: I don't know, like twenty nine in Random Jokes Explained
- 1:01Speaker 1: or fifty three Random Jokes Explained, something along those lines.
- 1:05Speaker 1: I don't know what the number will be, but anyway,
- 1:07Speaker 1: that's it. This is episode number nine. Hundred and five,
- 1:09Speaker 1: I think, and yes, it's time to do some more
- 1:13Speaker 1: jokes on the podcast. In this episode, I'm going to
- 1:16Speaker 1: go through a list of jokes I haven't read before. Okay,
- 1:19Speaker 1: so these are random jokes in the sense that they're
- 1:22Speaker 1: just all new to me. I've no idea what the
- 1:25Speaker 1: jokes will be. We're just going to go through the
- 1:27Speaker 1: one by one and we'll be discovering them at the
- 1:29Speaker 1: same time. So I'll read them out to you. You
- 1:33Speaker 1: can try to understand the jokes. What's funny, maybe nothing,
- 1:37Speaker 1: Maybe these are terrible jokes, I'm not sure, but you
- 1:40Speaker 1: can try to work out what's funny here? Right? Do
- 1:43Speaker 1: you get the jokes? Often it's about vocabulary, double meanings,
- 1:47Speaker 1: or maybe little cultural references. Then I'll explain them all
- 1:51Speaker 1: one by one so you can fully understand everything you
- 1:53Speaker 1: might have missed, including any important vocabulary. So I'll read
- 1:57Speaker 1: the jokes out to you and then i'll explain them. Now,
- 2:00Speaker 1: of course, whenever I explain jokes on this podcast, I
- 2:05Speaker 1: have to read out this quote. It's not clear who
- 2:08Speaker 1: first said this, It's been attributed to lots of people
- 2:11Speaker 1: over the years, but of course I have to read
- 2:13Speaker 1: out this quote, which is this, explaining a joke is
- 2:16Speaker 1: like dissecting a frog. You understand it better, but the
- 2:20Speaker 1: frog dies in the process. Yes, I've been explaining jokes
- 2:25Speaker 1: for many years on this podcast, and every single time
- 2:28Speaker 1: I do it, I have to read out that quote,
- 2:30Speaker 1: which perfectly explains the idea that, yeah, explaining the jokes
- 2:34Speaker 1: will probably kill the jokes. We'll understand them, but they
- 2:36Speaker 1: will die in the process, just like when you dissect
- 2:39Speaker 1: a frog in a laboratory or in a science class.
- 2:44Speaker 1: And I usually have to show this picture which a
- 2:46Speaker 1: listener sent to me. This is a picture. If you're
- 2:48Speaker 1: looking at the website page for this episode, you can
- 2:51Speaker 1: see the picture. If you're looking at the video version
- 2:53Speaker 1: you'll see the picture as well. This is a picture
- 2:56Speaker 1: of me dissecting a frog. And in fact, actually I've
- 3:00Speaker 1: got a T shirt. I've got a merch store, did
- 3:03Speaker 1: you know that? Just go to Teacher Luke dot co
- 3:05Speaker 1: dot uk slash merch and you can get your hands
- 3:08Speaker 1: on things like Lovely Luke's English podcast, mugs and T
- 3:12Speaker 1: shirts and things including this one, which was actually designed
- 3:15Speaker 1: by a listener. And this is me dissecting a frog.
- 3:19Speaker 1: It's if you can't see the video version of this,
- 3:22Speaker 1: I'll describe it. There's a picture of me with slightly
- 3:25Speaker 1: less hair than I hope I have in real life,
- 3:29Speaker 1: and I'm dissecting a frog, and there are some Ninja's
- 3:33Speaker 1: LP ninjas hiding in the background. In fact, I really
- 3:36Speaker 1: should put this on now. I think I should put
- 3:39Speaker 1: this T shirt on. Right. If I'm going to be
- 3:41Speaker 1: doing some frog dissection, then I've got to put the
- 3:45Speaker 1: T shirt on. So, through the magic of video editing,
- 3:48Speaker 1: I'll now switch T shirts in three two one, because
- 3:53Speaker 1: I have to be wearing the T shirts. Not that
- 3:55Speaker 1: you can actually see it, but anyway, I'm now wearing
- 3:58Speaker 1: the T shirt so I can actually do this properly.
- 4:00Speaker 1: So yes, basically, these might these jokes might die as
- 4:03Speaker 1: I explain them, but at least you should learn some
- 4:05Speaker 1: English from all this. So I found these jokes on
- 4:08Speaker 1: boardpanda dot com. Again, this is a website I often
- 4:12Speaker 1: use a lot to find jokes, all right, so bordpanda
- 4:17Speaker 1: dot com. Now, it's not clear who wrote these jokes.
- 4:20Speaker 1: They're probably just those unauthored jokes that get shared around
- 4:23Speaker 1: by people over the years. On the website, it says
- 4:27Speaker 1: these are jokes for teens meaning teenagers. But I think
- 4:31Speaker 1: this just means that there aren't any particularly rude jokes
- 4:34Speaker 1: in here. I think they're probably jokes for anyone. So
- 4:37Speaker 1: I'll read out about ten jokes, and then I'll go
- 4:40Speaker 1: back and explain them, and then I'll do another ten
- 4:42Speaker 1: and so on, and we'll keep going until we can't
- 4:44Speaker 1: take it anymore. Okay, So this is the title of
- 4:48Speaker 1: the site on the page on board Pandera is one
- 4:51Speaker 1: hundred and fifty jokes for teens to spice up those
- 4:54Speaker 1: moments of boredom. But as I said, I don't think
- 4:57Speaker 1: they're exclusively for teenagers. Right then, here we go, So
- 5:04Speaker 1: let's find the first joke. So here we go with
- 5:06Speaker 1: number one, and I'll do ten of these. So how
- 5:12Speaker 1: do you know when you're desperate for an answer when
- 5:15Speaker 1: you look at the second page of Google search results?
- 5:19Speaker 1: Is that even a joke? Number two? What do you
- 5:24Speaker 1: call security guards working outside Samsung shops? What do you
- 5:28Speaker 1: call security guards working outside Samsung shops? Guardians of the galaxy?
- 5:36Speaker 1: Number three? What's the difference between ignorance and apathy? What's
- 5:39Speaker 1: the difference between ignorance and apathy? The answer, I don't know,
- 5:44Speaker 1: and I don't care. Okay, let's carry on. Number four.
- 5:50Speaker 1: Why can't dinosaurs clap their hands? Why can't dinosaurs clap
- 5:56Speaker 1: their hands? Because they're extinct? Number five. I couldn't figure
- 6:03Speaker 1: out why the baseball kept getting larger. I just couldn't
- 6:07Speaker 1: figure out why the baseball kept getting larger. Then it
- 6:10Speaker 1: hit me. Number six. Number six, Are you free tomorrow?
- 6:17Speaker 1: Are you free tomorrow? No? I'm expensive sorry. Number seven,
- 6:26Speaker 1: what do you call hiking us college students? What do
- 6:30Speaker 1: you call us college students who are hiking? The answer
- 6:34Speaker 1: the walking debt? Number eight? Why did God supposedly make
- 6:42Speaker 1: men before he made women? Why did God supposedly make
- 6:46Speaker 1: men before he made women? The answer because everyone needs
- 6:49Speaker 1: a rough draft. Uh huh. Number nine. Number nine, why
- 6:56Speaker 1: was the Math's book sad? Why was the maths book sad?
- 7:00Speaker 1: Because it had too many problems? And number ten. If
- 7:06Speaker 1: you have thirteen apples in one hand and ten oranges
- 7:10Speaker 1: in the other, what do you have? The answer, big hands. Okay,
- 7:15Speaker 1: let's go back through those. You can see the standard here, right,
- 7:19Speaker 1: You can see what the standard is. It's not particularly high.
- 7:24Speaker 1: These are pretty cheesy jokes. Okay, let's go through the
- 7:27Speaker 1: first ten and I'll explain them. So, how do you
- 7:30Speaker 1: know when you're desperate for an answer? If you're desperate
- 7:33Speaker 1: for an answer, you just like really need an answer
- 7:35Speaker 1: to something like just you really really badly need it.
- 7:39Speaker 1: You need it so much that you're just like desperate,
- 7:42Speaker 1: I really need an answer God, and you searching, searching, searching.
- 7:46Speaker 1: How do you know when you're desperate for an answer?
- 7:48Speaker 1: It's when you look at the second page of Google
- 7:51Speaker 1: search results. Yeah, that's not exactly a joke. I mean,
- 7:55Speaker 1: there's no word play going on here, is there. So
- 7:58Speaker 1: it's not exactly a word joke, But it's more of
- 8:01Speaker 1: an observation. The observation being that it's quite rare that
- 8:06Speaker 1: we go to the second page of Google search results.
- 8:09Speaker 1: When was the last time you did that? You actually
- 8:12Speaker 1: went to the second or even third page of Google
- 8:15Speaker 1: search results? In fact, google search results there are often
- 8:19Speaker 1: so many pages, but we just never go that deep
- 8:22Speaker 1: into the Google search results. We normally we just stick
- 8:26Speaker 1: to the first page. So you know when you're absolutely
- 8:28Speaker 1: desperate for an answer is when you actually look at
- 8:30Speaker 1: the second page of Google search results. When was the
- 8:33Speaker 1: last time you did that? In fact, have you ever
- 8:36Speaker 1: number two? I like this joke. What do you call
- 8:39Speaker 1: security guards working outside Samsung shops? Guardians of the Galaxy?
- 8:45Speaker 1: I like that. So the joke here is the fact that,
- 8:50Speaker 1: first of all, Guardians of the Galaxy is a film.
- 8:52Speaker 1: It's the name of a film. It's a Marvel film,
- 8:55Speaker 1: isn't it? Guardians of the Galaxy one, two, and three.
- 9:00Speaker 1: But also the joke is that these are security guards
- 9:03Speaker 1: working outside Samsung shops. So Samsung they make mobile phones
- 9:10Speaker 1: as amongst other things. Obviously they make loads of different
- 9:13Speaker 1: types of technology. They make everything, don't they. Samsung the
- 9:17Speaker 1: famous Korean technology company. But one of the mobile phones
- 9:23Speaker 1: they make is the Galaxy series of phones, right, the
- 9:27Speaker 1: Samsung Galaxy. They're well known mobile phones. So security guards
- 9:33Speaker 1: working outside Samsung shops could be called Guardians of the
- 9:37Speaker 1: Galaxy because they're there to protect all of the Galaxy phones.
- 9:43Speaker 1: Guardians of the Galaxy. All right. Number three, what's the
- 9:47Speaker 1: difference between ignorance and apathy? I like this one as well.
- 9:50Speaker 1: I have to say this is not bad. What's the
- 9:53Speaker 1: difference between ignorance and apathy? I don't know and I
- 9:55Speaker 1: don't care. Which is actually the difference between ignorance and apathy? Ignorance.
- 10:00Speaker 1: The definition of ignorance is basically when someone doesn't know something, right,
- 10:05Speaker 1: and apathy is when someone just doesn't care. So that's
- 10:10Speaker 1: actually a really good joke. What's the difference between ignorance
- 10:13Speaker 1: and apathy? I don't know and I don't care? Because
- 10:17Speaker 1: I don't know and I don't care, it could be
- 10:18Speaker 1: an answer to the question as well, like I don't know.
- 10:23Speaker 1: Another example might be you know, why do I don't know?
- 10:27Speaker 1: What would it be? Why why do why do Italian
- 10:31Speaker 1: people drink so much coffee? I don't know and I
- 10:34Speaker 1: don't care? Right, So it could be the answer to
- 10:37Speaker 1: any question. Really, why do English people drink so much tea?
- 10:42Speaker 1: I don't know and I don't care? Okay, what's the
- 10:44Speaker 1: difference between ignorance and apathy? I don't know and I
- 10:47Speaker 1: don't care? Is literally the answer to the question, that
- 10:50Speaker 1: is the difference between them. It's also could mean something else,
- 10:54Speaker 1: couldn't it? Ahha ha ha ha ha ha. Right, moving
- 10:58Speaker 1: on to number four, why can't dinosaurs clap their hands?
- 11:01Speaker 1: Why can't dinosaurs clap their hands? So this is clapping
- 11:05Speaker 1: her hands, and of course everyone thinks because they're their
- 11:08Speaker 1: arms are too small, like the t rex, the Tyrannosaurus rex,
- 11:12Speaker 1: the most terrifying of all the dinosaurs. Absolutely terrifying, but pathetic,
- 11:18Speaker 1: little tiny, tiny arms. What's the point of those little
- 11:23Speaker 1: tiny arms? I don't know. So we're thinking, well, they
- 11:26Speaker 1: can't clap their hands because it's too small. No, the answer,
- 11:29Speaker 1: the reason they can't clap their hands is because they're extinct.
- 11:31Speaker 1: They're all dead. Yeah, that's right. I think that's quite clear,
- 11:37Speaker 1: isn't it. If an animal is extinct, it means it's
- 11:41Speaker 1: there are no living that, there are none of them
- 11:44Speaker 1: alive anymore. They're completely dead, all of them. So that's
- 11:48Speaker 1: why they can't clap their hands. I mean, it's difficult
- 11:50Speaker 1: for a dinosaur to clap its hands if it's extinct.
- 11:54Speaker 1: Number five, I couldn't figure out why the baseball kept
- 11:58Speaker 1: getting larger. Then it hit me, okay, So if you're
- 12:01Speaker 1: trying to figure something out, it means you're trying to
- 12:03Speaker 1: work something out. That's American English. It's all right, it's okay,
- 12:06Speaker 1: it's still English. It still counts. I couldn't work out
- 12:09Speaker 1: or I couldn't understand why the baseball kept getting larger. Okay,
- 12:15Speaker 1: So there's a person standing there and that they're watching
- 12:18Speaker 1: a baseball which apparently is getting bigger and bigger, and
- 12:22Speaker 1: they can't understand why it's getting bigger and bigger. And
- 12:25Speaker 1: then it hit me, So it hit me. There's a
- 12:29Speaker 1: double meaning to this. The one sense of this means
- 12:32Speaker 1: like literally, the baseball bam hit me. The other meaning
- 12:37Speaker 1: of then it hit me means then I understood. Right,
- 12:42Speaker 1: If you say it hit me, that can mean I
- 12:45Speaker 1: suddenly understood. Ah right, I know, because it's flying towards
- 12:49Speaker 1: me in this case, then it hit me. I was
- 12:52Speaker 1: trying to work out why English people drink so much tea,
- 12:56Speaker 1: and then it hit me. I know why they drink
- 12:59Speaker 1: so much tea. It's because they colonized India, and tea
- 13:02Speaker 1: comes from India and Sri Lanka, and so you know,
- 13:05Speaker 1: they got all the tea from India, and then English
- 13:08Speaker 1: people got into the habit of drinking lots of tea
- 13:10Speaker 1: and they imported it to the UK. And also maybe
- 13:14Speaker 1: because you know, it's often kind of gray and a
- 13:17Speaker 1: bit miserable outside, so it's nice to just stay inside
- 13:20Speaker 1: and drink plenty of nice, warm, comforting tea. Maybe that's
- 13:24Speaker 1: the reason. So I was thinking, why do English people
- 13:28Speaker 1: drink so much tea. Ah. Then it hit me. Then
- 13:31Speaker 1: I understood why couldn't figure out why the baseball kept
- 13:35Speaker 1: getting larger? And then it hit me see double meaning yeah,
- 13:39Speaker 1: not the cleverest. Number six. I like this one as well. Actually,
- 13:43Speaker 1: are you free tomorrow? No, I'm expensive? Sorry? Are you free? Meaning?
- 13:48Speaker 1: Are you? Are you available? Are you are you not
- 13:51Speaker 1: doing anything? Right? Of course you understand. Are you free tomorrow? No,
- 13:55Speaker 1: I'm expensive? Sorry? Quite good, Quite a good one. I
- 14:01Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know if you could ever use that.
- 14:03Speaker 1: Maybe if someone's bothering you and they're trying to ask
- 14:05Speaker 1: you out or something, you can they say, hey, are
- 14:07Speaker 1: you free tomorrow? Now, I'm sorry, I'm expensive, I'm not available.
- 14:12Speaker 1: Next number seven, Okay, this might be a bit complicated.
- 14:16Speaker 1: What do you call hiking? US college students, So this
- 14:20Speaker 1: is American college students or university students in the United
- 14:24Speaker 1: States who are hiking. Hiking means going for a walk, right,
- 14:28Speaker 1: going for a nice long walk, maybe in the hills
- 14:30Speaker 1: or in the countryside. So US college students who are
- 14:34Speaker 1: hiking the walking debt. Okay, debt debt. This is where
- 14:40Speaker 1: you know you don't have any money. In fact, you've
- 14:42Speaker 1: borrowed money. Maybe you borrowed money for the from the
- 14:45Speaker 1: bank to help you pay for your university education, your
- 14:49Speaker 1: college education. A lot of students in America and in
- 14:53Speaker 1: the UK are in debt because they have to borrow
- 14:56Speaker 1: money to pay for their studies. Right, So, if you're
- 15:00Speaker 1: in debt, or if you have debt, that's debt. The
- 15:03Speaker 1: b is silent debt. It means that you don't have
- 15:07Speaker 1: any money because you borrowed money to pay for something,
- 15:10Speaker 1: in this case, your studies. Okay, and The Walking Dead.
- 15:15Speaker 1: The Walking Dead is a famous television series about zombies. Now,
- 15:23Speaker 1: this doesn't mean that US college students are zombies. It
- 15:26Speaker 1: just means that US college students are in debt, and
- 15:30Speaker 1: when they're walking, they could be the walking debt. Yeah, okay,
- 15:34Speaker 1: quite good, Quite good. I suppose number eight. Why did
- 15:39Speaker 1: God supposedly make men before he made women? Because everyone
- 15:43Speaker 1: needs a rough draft? Okay. So a rough draft is
- 15:48Speaker 1: so if you have to write something, Let's say you
- 15:50Speaker 1: have to write an essay for college or something like that,
- 15:55Speaker 1: you'd write a rough draft, which would be the one
- 15:57Speaker 1: where you make all the mistakes and you cross things
- 16:00Speaker 1: out and you correct yourself and stuff. So there's the
- 16:02Speaker 1: first version, that's the rough draft, and then after you've
- 16:05Speaker 1: done your rough draft, you do your second version, which
- 16:09Speaker 1: is normally much much better, where you don't make mistakes
- 16:12Speaker 1: and you get it all right and it looks great.
- 16:14Speaker 1: So you've got your rough draft, and then you've got
- 16:16Speaker 1: your final version. So why did God make men before
- 16:19Speaker 1: he made women? Because everyone needs a rough draft. Everyone
- 16:22Speaker 1: needs to have their first version where they make all
- 16:26Speaker 1: their mistakes in order to perfect the process for the
- 16:29Speaker 1: second one. Okay, ha ha ha. Josh C left a
- 16:36Speaker 1: comment with a different answer, Why did God make men
- 16:40Speaker 1: before he made women? Because he didn't want advice on
- 16:43Speaker 1: how to do it, The suggestion being that if he'd
- 16:48Speaker 1: made the woman first, then the woman would have been
- 16:51Speaker 1: telling him how to do it. Okay, slightly sexists, you know,
- 16:55Speaker 1: but you know fair enough. It started out sexist anyway,
- 16:59Speaker 1: didn't it, right? Moving on number nine, why was the
- 17:05Speaker 1: maths book sad? Because it had too many problems? Not bad,
- 17:10Speaker 1: not a bad joke. Obviously, maths books are full of problems,
- 17:14Speaker 1: or aren't aren't they? They're full of maths problems, you know,
- 17:17Speaker 1: which you have to work out, you know, two plus
- 17:22Speaker 1: two Obviously, it's a very easy maths problem. But you
- 17:26Speaker 1: know it's four, isn't it. You see check out the
- 17:29Speaker 1: check out the math's abilities. But two plus two is
- 17:32Speaker 1: for that's a math problem, very easy one. But anyway,
- 17:35Speaker 1: you get the idea right. Maths books are full of problems.
- 17:39Speaker 1: So why was the maths book sad? Because it had
- 17:41Speaker 1: too many problems? Okay, number ten this is actually there
- 17:48Speaker 1: was a comment on that one as well from Kai David.
- 17:51Speaker 1: When your dad is gone, you will wish for one
- 17:53Speaker 1: more road trip with nothing but dad jokes. This is
- 17:56Speaker 1: a good point. So dad jokes, obviously are these kind
- 17:59Speaker 1: of like slightly crap cheesy jokes like the one we
- 18:03Speaker 1: just heard. These are often known as dad jokes because
- 18:08Speaker 1: for some reason, our dads tell us jokes like this,
- 18:12Speaker 1: especially when driving in the car or something. And Kai
- 18:16Speaker 1: David has made a quite a profound point, which is
- 18:20Speaker 1: that when your dad is gone, when your dad has died,
- 18:23Speaker 1: you will wish for one more road trip with nothing
- 18:25Speaker 1: but dad jokes. So if you cringe when your dad
- 18:28Speaker 1: tells dodgy jokes like this, just remember that one day
- 18:35Speaker 1: you know he'll be gone and you'll never hear those
- 18:36Speaker 1: jokes again, so you might as well appreciate them while
- 18:39Speaker 1: you can. Number ten. If you have thirteen, this sounds
- 18:43Speaker 1: like a maths problem. If you have thirteen apples in
- 18:46Speaker 1: one hand and ten oranges in the other, what do
- 18:49Speaker 1: you have, Well, big hands, So it sounds like you've got, like,
- 18:52Speaker 1: you know, twenty three fruits or something. But no, just
- 18:55Speaker 1: big hands, because yeah, sure, if you're carrying thirteen apples
- 18:58Speaker 1: in one hand oranges in the other, then yeah, you
- 19:03Speaker 1: would have massive hands, wouldn't you. Yeah, never mind the
- 19:06Speaker 1: maths problem. That's just physically impossible. Okay, let's move on
- 19:11Speaker 1: then and do another ten. In this classic episode of
- 19:13Speaker 1: Luke's English podcast. Here so number eleven. My boss told
- 19:19Speaker 1: me yesterday you shouldn't dress for the job you have,
- 19:23Speaker 1: dress for the job you want. You shouldn't dress for
- 19:25Speaker 1: the job you have, dress for the job you want.
- 19:28Speaker 1: Sounds like good advice. But when I turned up today
- 19:31Speaker 1: in Ghostbusters clothes, he said I was fired. Number twelve.
- 19:40Speaker 1: What should you do when no one laughs at your
- 19:43Speaker 1: chemistry jokes? What should you do when no one laughs
- 19:46Speaker 1: at your chemistry jokes? Just keep going until you get
- 19:49Speaker 1: a reaction? Uh huh? Next number thirteen, Why can't you
- 19:58Speaker 1: give Elsa a balloon? Why can't you give Elsa a balloon?
- 20:02Speaker 1: Because she'll let it go? Okay, safe stuff? Really? Number fourteen,
- 20:10Speaker 1: What animal is the worst at hiding? What animal is
- 20:13Speaker 1: the worst at hiding? The answer the leopard, because he's
- 20:17Speaker 1: always spotted. Now, one thing I should say about this website.
- 20:24Speaker 1: The way it works is that these jokes, this massive
- 20:27Speaker 1: list of jokes is sort of presented in order of popularity.
- 20:33Speaker 1: That the jokes get up voted or down voted, and
- 20:36Speaker 1: based on that they go higher or lower in the list.
- 20:41Speaker 1: So that's what this essentially means is the jokes are
- 20:44Speaker 1: probably getting worse and worse and worse. Number fifteen, What
- 20:49Speaker 1: has four wheels and flies? What has four wheels and flies?
- 20:53Speaker 1: The answer a garbage truck? Okay. Number sixteen, What kind
- 21:00Speaker 1: of tea is hard to swallow? What kind of tea
- 21:05Speaker 1: is hard to swallow? The answer reality? Number seventeen. I
- 21:15Speaker 1: sold my vacuum the other day. I sold my vacuum
- 21:18Speaker 1: cleaner the other day. Well, all it was doing was
- 21:21Speaker 1: just collecting dust. I've told that one before. Number eighteen,
- 21:27Speaker 1: Why do pirates have to learn the alphabet? Why do
- 21:31Speaker 1: pirates have to learn the alphabet, because if they don't,
- 21:34Speaker 1: they'll be lost at sea, okape where it's already starting
- 21:41Speaker 1: to scrape the bottom of the barrel. I feel Number nineteen,
- 21:45Speaker 1: what's worse than finding a worm in your apple? What
- 21:48Speaker 1: is worse than finding a worm in your apple? Well,
- 21:51Speaker 1: finding half a worm in your apple? That's an old classic.
- 21:57Speaker 1: And number twenty did you hear about the kidnapping at school?
- 22:04Speaker 1: Did you hear about the kidnapping at school? It's okay,
- 22:08Speaker 1: he woke up, Okay, right, let's go back. How many
- 22:16Speaker 1: of these did you understand? How many of these did you?
- 22:20Speaker 1: I mean, how many of them did you get? Like? Right, yeah,
- 22:22Speaker 1: I get that. How many of these did you actually
- 22:26Speaker 1: find funny? And how many of these did you just
- 22:28Speaker 1: not get at all? And I wonder how many of
- 22:30Speaker 1: them you thought you got but you just misunderstood completely.
- 22:34Speaker 1: So number eleven, my boss told me yesterday you shouldn't
- 22:38Speaker 1: dress for the job. You have dress for the job
- 22:40Speaker 1: you want. So this is this person's boss giving them
- 22:44Speaker 1: aspirational advice. Right, don't dress for the job you have,
- 22:49Speaker 1: dress for the job you want. So if you want
- 22:51Speaker 1: to be a high flying lawyer, you know, come to
- 22:54Speaker 1: work in a nice looking suit. Dress really smart, don't
- 23:00Speaker 1: you know, even if you're working in some crappy place,
- 23:05Speaker 1: you still should dress really smart. So don't dress for
- 23:07Speaker 1: the job you have, dress for the job you want.
- 23:09Speaker 1: Live in that aspirational, ambitious way. Okay, So don't dress
- 23:16Speaker 1: for the job you have, dressed for the job you want.
- 23:18Speaker 1: But when I turned up today in Ghostbusters clothes, he
- 23:21Speaker 1: said I was fired. Okay, So this person obviously wants
- 23:25Speaker 1: to be one of the Ghostbusters. And as we know,
- 23:27Speaker 1: ghostbusters wear you know, the slightly ridiculous clothes. They wear
- 23:31Speaker 1: those kind of boiler suits with the Ghostbusters logo on
- 23:34Speaker 1: the sleeve, and they wear a big backpack with like
- 23:39Speaker 1: special anti ghost weapons that fire these big streams, got
- 23:45Speaker 1: all this equipment on and these boots and stuff. So
- 23:48Speaker 1: this person wants to be one of the Ghostbusters. So
- 23:51Speaker 1: don't dress for the job you have, dress for the
- 23:53Speaker 1: job you want. Okay, I'll come to work dressed as
- 23:55Speaker 1: a Ghostbuster. But then the boss was like, you're fired.
- 23:59Speaker 1: You can't to work like that, But you told me
- 24:01Speaker 1: to dress for the job I wanted. You know, I'm
- 24:04Speaker 1: not like that, ye keiat and pro commented, the Ghostbusters
- 24:10Speaker 1: were fired from their job before they started their Ghostbuster's business,
- 24:14Speaker 1: so your boss is doing the right thing. This is
- 24:17Speaker 1: true if you remember from the film. The film begins
- 24:20Speaker 1: with the Ghostbusters getting fired. I can't remember which job
- 24:25Speaker 1: it is that they get fired from, but they do
- 24:26Speaker 1: get fired, and they decide to go into business, you know,
- 24:33Speaker 1: doing their ghost hunting professionally. So fair enough, maybe your
- 24:38Speaker 1: boss is doing the right thing. Yeah, number twelve, What
- 24:41Speaker 1: should you do when no one laughs at your chemistry jokes?
- 24:44Speaker 1: Keep going until you get a reaction? Right, So there's
- 24:48Speaker 1: a double meaning there. To get a reaction. A reaction
- 24:51Speaker 1: could be a sort of reaction from a person, like
- 24:55Speaker 1: a laugh, or some sort of response like oh yeah, okay,
- 24:59Speaker 1: good one, or even just like oh god really, oh dad, joke.
- 25:03Speaker 1: You know, that's a reaction. But also the double meaning
- 25:07Speaker 1: is you can get a chemical reaction as well. Right,
- 25:10Speaker 1: chemical reaction. For example, when you mix several chemicals together,
- 25:14Speaker 1: you often get a chemical reaction where something happens. I mean,
- 25:19Speaker 1: I'm not brilliant at chemistry. So what's a good example
- 25:23Speaker 1: of this. I don't know, mixing what and what I
- 25:25Speaker 1: suppose baking a cake is that a chemical reaction. If
- 25:29Speaker 1: you put the yeast in the cake and then you
- 25:31Speaker 1: heat it up, the yeast it rises. Is that an
- 25:35Speaker 1: example of a chemical reaction? Anyway, you think you get
- 25:37Speaker 1: the idea, So you know, what should you do when
- 25:40Speaker 1: no one laughs at your chemistry jokes? Keep going until
- 25:43Speaker 1: you get a reaction? Ha haha. Yes, yes, Gerard nw
- 25:51Speaker 1: says it might be explosive though. Ah yes, in the
- 25:55Speaker 1: sense socially, in the sense that it might cause people
- 25:59Speaker 1: to likely disagree with you or get upset, but also
- 26:03Speaker 1: literally in terms of the chemical reaction, it could be
- 26:05Speaker 1: explosive as well. Wow, the hilarious humor in action. Okay,
- 26:13Speaker 1: this is one for kids. Why can't you give Elsa
- 26:16Speaker 1: a balloon? Because she'll let it go? So? Elsa is
- 26:19Speaker 1: the character in that Disney film Frozen. Of course, anyone
- 26:24Speaker 1: who knows any children, if you've got children, if you
- 26:28Speaker 1: have nephew's nieces or whatever, then surely you know about
- 26:32Speaker 1: Frozen and the two sisters Anna and Elsa, and Elsa
- 26:37Speaker 1: sings that well known song let it Go, Let it Go,
- 26:41Speaker 1: Let it Go, right, So why can't you give Elsa
- 26:45Speaker 1: a balloon because she'll let it go? Yeah? But then
- 26:49Speaker 1: she'll go into the unknown to find it. That's another
- 26:51Speaker 1: one of the songs. Number fourteen. What animal is the
- 26:54Speaker 1: worst at hiding the leopard? Because he's always spotted? So
- 26:58Speaker 1: spotted because leopard a leopard has spots, so you could
- 27:02Speaker 1: say it's spotted. But also to be spotted means to
- 27:06Speaker 1: be noticed, to be seen, to be found. So what
- 27:10Speaker 1: animal is the worst at hiding the leopard? Because he's
- 27:12Speaker 1: always spotted? Not there it is, I spotted the leopard? Yes,
- 27:17Speaker 1: number fifteen. What has four wheels and flies? What has
- 27:22Speaker 1: four wheels and flies? Now you're thinking, what has four
- 27:24Speaker 1: wheels and flies? One of those like helicopters with four
- 27:27Speaker 1: wheels or how many wheels does a plane have? A
- 27:30Speaker 1: flying car? Is it a flying car? No, it's a
- 27:34Speaker 1: garbage truck. Why, well, it has four wheels, of course,
- 27:38Speaker 1: In fact, I think garbage trucks often have more. But anyway,
- 27:41Speaker 1: let's say it has four wheels it and it has
- 27:46Speaker 1: it has flies? Now, what has four wheels and flies?
- 27:51Speaker 1: We're thinking flies in the sky as the verb, but
- 27:54Speaker 1: here it's actually the noun. What has four wheels and flies?
- 28:01Speaker 1: These sorts of flies insects? Well, obviously a garbage truck
- 28:05Speaker 1: has got four wheels and it has flies buzzing around
- 28:08Speaker 1: because of the rubbish, the decomposing rubbish in the truck,
- 28:13Speaker 1: it's attracting flies. So what has four wheels and flies?
- 28:18Speaker 1: I mean, you could argue punctuation could solve this. What
- 28:24Speaker 1: has four wheels? Comma and flies? Would suggest that the
- 28:29Speaker 1: and flies could be like a verb, right, Whereas if
- 28:35Speaker 1: you don't have the comma, what has four wheels and flies?
- 28:39Speaker 1: That makes it a little bit clearer in the sense
- 28:42Speaker 1: that the four wheels and flies both kind of relate
- 28:46Speaker 1: to the has verb in the question. Yeah, so anyway,
- 28:53Speaker 1: what has four wheels and flies? A garbage truck? Yeah? Kind?
- 28:57Speaker 1: Pegasus ninety five wrote this, what about the magic school bus?
- 29:02Speaker 1: He has four wheels and he flies around? Okay, yeah,
- 29:05Speaker 1: just answer the question literally, why don't you? Okay, moving
- 29:11Speaker 1: on to the next one sixteen. What kind of tea
- 29:14Speaker 1: is hard to swallow? Reality? So hard to swallow? Could
- 29:21Speaker 1: mean literally, like, if you're trying to swallow tea, you
- 29:28Speaker 1: drink the tea, you swallow it, the tea goes down
- 29:30Speaker 1: into your stomach. That's to swallow. But if something's hard
- 29:35Speaker 1: to swallow, it can mean that it's hard to accept.
- 29:39Speaker 1: For example, the news was hard to swallow. The news
- 29:42Speaker 1: that my school had burned down was hard to swallow.
- 29:46Speaker 1: I've got some bad news for you, and you can
- 29:48Speaker 1: want to sit down. Really, what is it your school
- 29:50Speaker 1: is burned down? What? No? Right? It was hard to
- 29:56Speaker 1: swallow the news in this case? What kind of tea?
- 29:59Speaker 1: Is hard to sw wallow reality? Because reality can be
- 30:03Speaker 1: hard to swallow sometimes, you know, when you're told that
- 30:05Speaker 1: the cold, hard truth of a situation that can be
- 30:10Speaker 1: hard to swallow. What kind of it's reality? Okay? Another
- 30:19Speaker 1: one could be TNT TNT meaning explosives. Fair enough, that's
- 30:24Speaker 1: quite a good answer as well. Number seventeen. I sold
- 30:27Speaker 1: my vacuum cleaner the other day. All it was doing
- 30:30Speaker 1: was collecting dust. I like this joke very much. Okay,
- 30:35Speaker 1: So a vacuum cleaner, I mean I seem to explain
- 30:38Speaker 1: this word so many times on this podcast. But it's
- 30:40Speaker 1: a thing you'd use to like clean up your home.
- 30:44Speaker 1: And it sucks. I mean, you know, even even the
- 30:47Speaker 1: good ones suck. There's another that's another answer to that question.
- 30:52Speaker 1: Why did I sold my vacuum cleaner? It sucked? So anyway,
- 31:01Speaker 1: So the vacuum. That's what a vacuum cleaner is, right,
- 31:04Speaker 1: So all it was doing was collecting dusts. So here's
- 31:08Speaker 1: the punchline. If something is collecting dust, it could mean
- 31:13Speaker 1: that you're never using it. It maybe sits on a
- 31:16Speaker 1: shelf in your cupboard and just sits there and gathers dust.
- 31:20Speaker 1: Like dust just builds up on the outside of the
- 31:23Speaker 1: vacuum cleaner. Right. So we all have things in our homes,
- 31:27Speaker 1: like gadgets or items that we just never use. We
- 31:33Speaker 1: all have these things, right. So you might have like
- 31:36Speaker 1: a I don't know, like a toasted cheese sandwich maker
- 31:39Speaker 1: sitting on the shelf in the kitchen and you haven't
- 31:42Speaker 1: used it for two years and it's covered in a
- 31:45Speaker 1: layer of dust. Dust is just this stuff that lands
- 31:49Speaker 1: on surfaces and you have to regularly clean those surfaces
- 31:52Speaker 1: or dust those surfaces. Okay. Dust is made from like
- 31:57Speaker 1: clothing fibers and human bit particles of human skin and
- 32:02Speaker 1: hair and stuff. It's rather disgusting. It's in the air,
- 32:05Speaker 1: especially when if you change your clothes. Dust goes into
- 32:09Speaker 1: the air and then it settles on the surfaces and
- 32:11Speaker 1: you have to wipe those surfaces off or like use
- 32:17Speaker 1: a hoover use a vacuum cleaner to remove all the dust.
- 32:20Speaker 1: So if something is collecting dust or gathering dust, it
- 32:23Speaker 1: means it's not being used. It's just sitting on the
- 32:25Speaker 1: shelf and dust is landing on it. It's collecting dust.
- 32:31Speaker 1: But also a vacuum cleaner. The other meaning of this
- 32:34Speaker 1: is that a vacuum cleaner does collect dust. It sucks
- 32:37Speaker 1: the dust up into the bag. Ah, I sold my
- 32:41Speaker 1: vacuum cleaner. All it was doing was collecting dust. That's
- 32:45Speaker 1: quite a good joke. Yes, number eighteen. Why do pirates
- 32:49Speaker 1: have to learn the alphabet? If they don't, they'll be
- 32:51Speaker 1: lost at sea. If they don't learn the alphabet, they'll
- 32:57Speaker 1: be lost at sea. They'll go ABC, and then they
- 33:00Speaker 1: won't know what letter comes next. They'll be lost at
- 33:04Speaker 1: the letter C if they don't learn the alphabet. But
- 33:07Speaker 1: also pirates will be lost at sea, meaning sea like
- 33:11Speaker 1: the ocean. If you're lost at sea, it means you're
- 33:14Speaker 1: out on a boat in the ocean and you don't
- 33:16Speaker 1: know where you are. So pirates have to learn the
- 33:20Speaker 1: alphabet so that they don't get lost at sea. Ha
- 33:23Speaker 1: ha ha ha ha ha dad joke. Yeah. Nineteen what's
- 33:29Speaker 1: worse than this is one of the oldest jokes that
- 33:32Speaker 1: I know, this one. I remember this from years and
- 33:37Speaker 1: years ago when I was a little kid at school.
- 33:39Speaker 1: What's worse than finding a worm in your apple? So
- 33:41Speaker 1: you're eating an apple and oh, there's a worm in
- 33:44Speaker 1: the apple. What's worse than that? I mean, that's already
- 33:47Speaker 1: quite bad. But what could be worse than that? Well?
- 33:50Speaker 1: Finding half a worm in your apple? Uh? Because obviously
- 33:54Speaker 1: this means that you've eaten the other half a worm. Okay,
- 34:02Speaker 1: that's bad, but half a worm, Oh dear, I just
- 34:08Speaker 1: ate half a worm, which is obviously worse than finding
- 34:11Speaker 1: a whole worm in your apple. Yes, and Terry Tobias commented,
- 34:18Speaker 1: this joke has been around as long as as long
- 34:20Speaker 1: as there have been apples and worms. True number twenty
- 34:26Speaker 1: quite like this one, although it's a little dark. Did
- 34:30Speaker 1: you hear about the kidnapping at school? Now? You think
- 34:34Speaker 1: this means that a child has been taken at school? Yeah?
- 34:39Speaker 1: I don't know who you are. I don't know why
- 34:40Speaker 1: you have my child. If you're looking for ransom, I
- 34:43Speaker 1: can tell you I don't have money, But what I
- 34:46Speaker 1: do have a particular set of skills for explaining jokes.
- 34:51Speaker 1: So we think that maybe this means a child has
- 34:53Speaker 1: been taken, right, there's been a kidnapping. Did you hear
- 34:57Speaker 1: about the kidnapping at school? But no, it's okay, he
- 35:00Speaker 1: woke up. So it's did you hear about the kid
- 35:03Speaker 1: napping at school? Napping means having a sleep, having a siesta.
- 35:09Speaker 1: So did you hear about the kid napping at school?
- 35:12Speaker 1: Did you hear about the kid who was napping at school?
- 35:15Speaker 1: It's okay, he woke up. Did you hear about the
- 35:18Speaker 1: kid napping at school? It's okay, he woke up. It's
- 35:24Speaker 1: a massive audience of people or laughing because it's such
- 35:28Speaker 1: a wonderful joke. Right, let's move on show. We let's
- 35:31Speaker 1: keep going. Okay, how many are we going to get through?
- 35:34Speaker 1: Number twenty one? So here come the next ten jokes. Okay,
- 35:38Speaker 1: strap in get ready? Do you understand them? Here we go.
- 35:41Speaker 1: Number twenty one. What do you call a Minecraft meetup? Irl?

- 36:02Speaker 1: Alls because they're always on the web. Number twenty three,
- 36:09Speaker 1: how do you find will Smith in the snow? How
- 36:13Speaker 1: do you find Will Smith in the snow? Just look
- 36:15Speaker 1: for the fresh prince. I've told that joke before on
- 36:19Speaker 1: this podcast. Number twenty four. A lot of people cry
- 36:25Speaker 1: when they cut an onion. The trick is not to
- 36:30Speaker 1: form an emotional bond with the onion, okay. Twenty five
- 36:39Speaker 1: Why did the hipster burn his mouth? Why did the
- 36:43Speaker 1: hipster burn his mouth because he drank his coffee before
- 36:47Speaker 1: it was cool? Yes, that's not bad. Number twenty six.
- 36:55Speaker 1: What did jay Z or jay Z? As we don't
- 36:59Speaker 1: call him in the UK, but anyway we could do
- 37:01Speaker 1: because we say z in the UK, but we still
- 37:03Speaker 1: call him jay Z? What did jay Z call his
- 37:05Speaker 1: girlfriend before getting married? The answer fiance? What did jay
- 37:14Speaker 1: Z call his girlfriend before getting married? Fiance? I like that.
- 37:20Speaker 1: Umber twenty seven. I thought i'd tell you a brilliant
- 37:23Speaker 1: time travel joke, but you didn't like it. I thought
- 37:28Speaker 1: I would tell you a brilliant time travel joke, but
- 37:30Speaker 1: you didn't like it. I like that as well. Okay,
- 37:33Speaker 1: I'm actually really enjoying these. Number twenty eight. Why can't
- 37:36Speaker 1: you trust an atom? Why can't you trust an atom?
- 37:41Speaker 1: Because they make up everything? Actually this is not a
- 37:46Speaker 1: bad selection. I thought they were getting worse, but I
- 37:49Speaker 1: don't mind these. Maybe it's because I'm a dad, so
- 37:51Speaker 1: you know, I'm naturally attracted to the cheesy dad jokes.
- 37:56Speaker 1: Number twenty nine. Oh, this old joke number twenty nine
- 37:59Speaker 1: can February February can February March, No, but April May.
- 38:07Speaker 1: It's real dad joke tastic can February March No, but
- 38:12Speaker 1: April May. It's almost like that's like why I was
- 38:17Speaker 1: six afraid of seven because seven eight nine, isn't it?
- 38:20Speaker 1: Number thirty. Then a science teacher tells his class oxygen
- 38:25Speaker 1: is a must for breathing and life. It was discovered
- 38:28Speaker 1: in seventeen seventy three. A boy responds, thank god I
- 38:32Speaker 1: was born after seventeen seventy three, otherwise I would have
- 38:35Speaker 1: died without it. Okay, that was quite crap, wasn't it. Okay,
- 38:41Speaker 1: let's go back through this unexpectedly quite enjoyable section that
- 38:45Speaker 1: we just had there. I'm not sure about this Minecraft joke,
- 38:49Speaker 1: but anyway, what do you call a Minecraft meetup in
- 38:52Speaker 1: real life? So? A meetup this is where obviously people
- 38:55Speaker 1: get together, they meet each other for a social gathering.
- 38:59Speaker 1: And meet. A Minecraft meetup would be maybe people get
- 39:04Speaker 1: together and play Minecraft together, or they get together and
- 39:08Speaker 1: just talk about Minecraft, or these are people who've been
- 39:11Speaker 1: playing Minecraft together online and they meet up in real
- 39:14Speaker 1: life as IRL means in real life. What do you
- 39:17Speaker 1: call a Minecraft meetup in real life? A block party? Okay,
- 39:22Speaker 1: not bad? I suppose a block party is It's just
- 39:27Speaker 1: a word for a type of party right in American English.
- 39:29Speaker 1: It's like where the whole section, a whole section of
- 39:32Speaker 1: a street has a big party. But also, a block
- 39:38Speaker 1: party could be related to Minecraft because they use blocks
- 39:42Speaker 1: right to build things in Minecraft. So a block party
- 39:45Speaker 1: because of the blocks in Minecraft. Yeah, not my favorite one.
- 39:50Speaker 1: Number twenty two. Why are spiders such know it alls? Okay,
- 39:54Speaker 1: this is a real super dad joke, this one. Why
- 39:57Speaker 1: are spiders such know it alls? If you're a no,
- 40:00Speaker 1: it means that you know it all? You're really clever clogs,
- 40:03Speaker 1: you know everything? Oh you such a know it all,
- 40:06Speaker 1: aren't you. What's the capital of Australia Canberra? Oh God,
- 40:11Speaker 1: you're such a know it all, aren't you. Why are
- 40:14Speaker 1: spiders such know it alls? Because they're always on the web, right,
- 40:19Speaker 1: a spider web of course. Rather than the Internet. But
- 40:23Speaker 1: still they're always on the web. That's why they know
- 40:26Speaker 1: it alls number twenty three. How do you find Will
- 40:30Speaker 1: Smith in the snow? Of course we know Will Smith,
- 40:34Speaker 1: right the actor. How do you find Will Smith in
- 40:37Speaker 1: the snow? Just look for the fresh prince? Okay, So
- 40:44Speaker 1: this is a fairly sophisticated pun on the phrase fresh prince.
- 40:49Speaker 1: So obviously you might be thinking the Fresh Prince of
- 40:52Speaker 1: bel Air, which is the TV series that he was
- 40:55Speaker 1: in back in the nineties. That's how he first got famous, right,
- 41:00Speaker 1: the Fresh Prince of bel Air. So that's fresh Prince,
- 41:05Speaker 1: Prince pri n ce. But this is look for the
- 41:09Speaker 1: fresh prince pri nts. So if you're looking for someone
- 41:14Speaker 1: in the snow, you would look for fresh prince, meaning
- 41:18Speaker 1: footprints in the snow free. If they're fresh footprints, it
- 41:24Speaker 1: means that someone has recently left those footprints in the snow.
- 41:30Speaker 1: So how do you find Will Smith in the snow?
- 41:32Speaker 1: You just look for the fresh prince. You look for
- 41:35Speaker 1: the fresh Prince of bel Air, or you look for
- 41:38Speaker 1: the fresh footprints in the snow. Actually I quite like that.
- 41:44Speaker 1: You just look for the fresh prince number twenty four.
- 41:49Speaker 1: A lot of people cry when they cut an onion,
- 41:52Speaker 1: which can be a problem. But the trick, meaning the
- 41:55Speaker 1: solution to make sure you don't cry when you cut
- 41:58Speaker 1: an onion, The solution is is not to form an
- 42:01Speaker 1: emotional bond with the onion. Okay, An emotional bond means
- 42:07Speaker 1: an emotional connection. Like, for example, if you make friends
- 42:10Speaker 1: with the onion and you sort of develop an emotional
- 42:13Speaker 1: attachment or connection to the onion. In fact, you maybe
- 42:16Speaker 1: even love that onion slightly. You know, you pick the
- 42:20Speaker 1: onion out and you become friends with it, and you know,
- 42:23Speaker 1: you sort of share things with it and form an
- 42:26Speaker 1: emotional bond with that onion in the same way that
- 42:29Speaker 1: you form an emotional bond with friends when you go
- 42:31Speaker 1: through and experience with them. You know, obviously you have
- 42:34Speaker 1: an emotional bond with your members of your family, right,
- 42:37Speaker 1: It's difficult to break that emotional bond. If you are
- 42:40Speaker 1: separated from those people, you might cry. So how do
- 42:45Speaker 1: you make sure you don't cry when you cut an onion?
- 42:47Speaker 1: Just make sure you don't form an emotional bond with
- 42:50Speaker 1: the onion before you start cutting it, all right. Gerard
- 42:58Speaker 1: Knew Again says that that's why I only let ninjas
- 43:01Speaker 1: do it. Okay, all right, apparently he only lets ninjas
- 43:07Speaker 1: cut his onions so that there's no emotional bond. Okay.
- 43:11Speaker 1: Number twenty five, Why did the hipster burn his mouth? Okay,
- 43:14Speaker 1: this one I like a lot, right, Why did the
- 43:16Speaker 1: hipster burn his mouth? A hipster is someone who's like
- 43:19Speaker 1: really cool, right, someone is so cool they do everything.
- 43:24Speaker 1: They like everything before everyone else likes them. Right. They
- 43:29Speaker 1: like like the right bands, the right kinds of fashions,
- 43:32Speaker 1: the right sort of food trends. Hipsters always like these
- 43:36Speaker 1: things before they become cool. When something becomes cool, it
- 43:41Speaker 1: means like when everyone thinks they're good, and hipsters are like, well,
- 43:45Speaker 1: I like that band before they were cool, meaning before
- 43:48Speaker 1: it was before it was cool to like that band. Okay,
- 43:53Speaker 1: So now it's it's cool to wear certain brands of clothing.
- 43:57Speaker 1: It's cool to wear like baggy trousers, baggy jeans, it's
- 44:02Speaker 1: cool to wear that now. Hipsters would have been wearing
- 44:05Speaker 1: baggy jeans like several years before it was cool. I
- 44:09Speaker 1: was wearing those jeans, I was wearing those sneakers before
- 44:11Speaker 1: it was cool, because that's what hipsters do, right, So
- 44:16Speaker 1: why did the hipster burn his mouth, which is like,
- 44:18Speaker 1: oh my mouth. Why did the hipster burn his mouth
- 44:22Speaker 1: because he drank his coffee before it was cool? Okay,
- 44:29Speaker 1: So he burned his mouth on his coffee because he
- 44:32Speaker 1: drank it before it was cool. Yeah, okay. Number twenty six,
- 44:36Speaker 1: what did jay Z call his girlfriend before getting married
- 44:41Speaker 1: his fiance? So obviously his girlfriend was Beyonce, who he
- 44:47Speaker 1: married as his wife. And fiance is the word for
- 44:53Speaker 1: you know, your girlfriend before you get married. That's your fiance.
- 44:57Speaker 1: You get engaged and then you have a fiance, and
- 45:00Speaker 1: then you get married and then she's your wife. So yeah,
- 45:04Speaker 1: I think you get it right, Beyonce fiance. Okay, I
- 45:10Speaker 1: don't know. I quite like that. Number twenty seven. I
- 45:15Speaker 1: thought I'd tell you a brilliant time travel joke, but
- 45:17Speaker 1: you didn't like it quite clever. I thought I would
- 45:22Speaker 1: tell you a brilliant time travel joke. This this, it
- 45:26Speaker 1: sounds like you're you're going someone is going to tell
- 45:29Speaker 1: you the joke. All right. If I say I thought
- 45:31Speaker 1: I'd tell you a brilliant time travel joke, it sounds
- 45:33Speaker 1: like I'm now going to tell you a time travel joke. Right.
- 45:37Speaker 1: I thought I would. I would thought I would make
- 45:39Speaker 1: you a cup of tea, and then you make them
- 45:41Speaker 1: a cup of tea. Right, I thought i'd tell you
- 45:43Speaker 1: a time travel joke, but you didn't like it, so
- 45:48Speaker 1: you get the idea. So first of all, it sounds
- 45:50Speaker 1: like something's going to happen in the future, but you didn't.
- 45:53Speaker 1: But you didn't like it is in the past. So
- 45:56Speaker 1: this means the person travel through time told them the
- 46:00Speaker 1: joke already, the person didn't like the joke, and then
- 46:03Speaker 1: the person's come back in time from the future and
- 46:07Speaker 1: has said, you get the I think hopefull you get
- 46:10Speaker 1: the idea? Do you get the idea? All right? And
- 46:16Speaker 1: that one friend fifteen said it's not going to be
- 46:19Speaker 1: in style for a few years. Okay, does that make sense?
- 46:23Speaker 1: I'm not sure. Number twenty eight, Why can't you trust
- 46:26Speaker 1: an atom? Okay? Why can't you trust an atom? Because
- 46:29Speaker 1: they make up everything. So atoms are the form the
- 46:33Speaker 1: basis of molecules, chemical molecules. That everything is made from atoms,
- 46:38Speaker 1: right you could you know as you get smaller and
- 46:41Speaker 1: smaller and smaller, all things are made of chemicals. Those
- 46:45Speaker 1: chemicals are made up of molecules, which are basically made
- 46:48Speaker 1: up of atoms. The elements of all substances. Everything's made
- 46:56Speaker 1: up of atoms, So why can't you trust an atom?
- 47:00Speaker 1: Because they make up everything? I like this because it's
- 47:03Speaker 1: there's a double meaning. They make up everything, so on
- 47:07Speaker 1: one sense. In one sense, this means that they they
- 47:11Speaker 1: Everything is constructed with atoms. Atoms make up everything, so
- 47:17Speaker 1: everything's made or constructed with atoms. The other meaning of
- 47:22Speaker 1: makeup means to create or invent the things they say,
- 47:29Speaker 1: so to lie essentially right, So where did you get that?
- 47:34Speaker 1: Where did you get those shoes? Oh? Yeah, like a
- 47:38Speaker 1: magical wizard who makes magic sneakers came down from the
- 47:46Speaker 1: top of a mountain and he said, you know, I'll
- 47:49Speaker 1: give you three wishes. What do you want? And I
- 47:51Speaker 1: wish for these sneakers, so he just gave them to me.
- 47:54Speaker 1: It's like, that's not true. You made that up, right,
- 47:57Speaker 1: that's to make something up. So two meanings. The atoms
- 48:01Speaker 1: make up everything. Everything is made up from atoms, and
- 48:05Speaker 1: atoms make up everything. They say they lie all the time.
- 48:09Speaker 1: Why can't you trust an atom because they make up everything?
- 48:14Speaker 1: Working hard? Here can February March No, but April May okay.
- 48:23Speaker 1: March is a verb. It means to walk kind of
- 48:26Speaker 1: in a steady way, like a soldier. Like groups of soldiers,
- 48:32Speaker 1: they march, right, that's the sound effect of a group
- 48:35Speaker 1: of soldiers marching down the road. Of course, it's not
- 48:39Speaker 1: someone walking through snow or someone eating some salad. No,
- 48:48Speaker 1: it's a group of soldiers marching down a road or something.
- 48:53Speaker 1: So March is a verb. It's also the name of
- 48:56Speaker 1: one of the months in the year. So can February March. No,
- 49:03Speaker 1: but April May. So April May May is also a verb,
- 49:07Speaker 1: of course, isn't it as a modal verb? So you know,
- 49:11Speaker 1: February March sounds like a sentence. April May sounds a
- 49:14Speaker 1: little bit like a sentence as well, So can February March. No,
- 49:18Speaker 1: but April May. HM. Very old joke that one and
- 49:26Speaker 1: number thirty a science class. A science teacher tells his
- 49:32Speaker 1: class oxygen is a must for breathing and life. It
- 49:35Speaker 1: was discovered in seventeen seventy three, So presumably this means that,
- 49:40Speaker 1: you know, a scientist discovered the presence of oxygen, discovered
- 49:44Speaker 1: the oxygen molecule, was able to identify that this molecule
- 49:48Speaker 1: existed before seventeen seventy three. We didn't have this knowledge.
- 49:52Speaker 1: So it was discovered in seventeen seventy three. Doesn't mean
- 49:55Speaker 1: it was invented in seventeen seventy three. It doesn't mean
- 49:58Speaker 1: that there was no such thing as oxygen before that, Like,
- 50:02Speaker 1: for example, penicillin. You could say that penicillin was discovered,
- 50:07Speaker 1: and before penicillin we didn't. We weren't able to manufacture
- 50:12Speaker 1: this antibiotic, and therefore we weren't able to use it
- 50:15Speaker 1: as medicine. Right, So before the discovery of penicillin, we
- 50:19Speaker 1: weren't able to use antibiotics as forms of medicine. So
- 50:24Speaker 1: if you got an infection before the time when we
- 50:29Speaker 1: had discovered penicillin, then you know there's a chance that
- 50:31Speaker 1: your infection could kill you, right, So in the sense
- 50:36Speaker 1: that we're talking about scientific discoveries in that way. But
- 50:40Speaker 1: oxygen was discovered in seventeen seventy three. Obviously, before we
- 50:45Speaker 1: discovered the existence of it, we were still able to
- 50:48Speaker 1: use it because it's just in the air, right, So
- 50:51Speaker 1: oxygen is a must for breathing in life. It was
- 50:53Speaker 1: discovered in seventeen seventy three. A boy responds, thank god
- 50:57Speaker 1: I was born after seventeen seventy three, otherwise I would
- 51:01Speaker 1: have died without it. Okay, I think you understand that one, now,
- 51:06Speaker 1: don't you. All right, let's move on, Let's do some more.
- 51:11Speaker 1: Are you still alive? Can you take any more? Let's
- 51:14Speaker 1: keep let's crack on a little bit longer. Okay, so
- 51:17Speaker 1: let's do another ten. Here we go, ready, right? Number
- 51:21Speaker 1: thirty one? What kind of music do balloons hate? What
- 51:26Speaker 1: kind of music do balloons hate? The answer pop? Number
- 51:31Speaker 1: thirty two. I thought my neighbors were lovely people, then
- 51:34Speaker 1: they went and put a password on their Wi Fi?
- 51:38Speaker 1: All right? Number thirty three. What side of a turkey
- 51:41Speaker 1: has the most feathers? What side of a turkey has
- 51:44Speaker 1: the most feathers? The outside? Number thirty four? What starts
- 51:49Speaker 1: with an e? So? What starts with E, ends with
- 51:53Speaker 1: E and has only one letter in it? What starts
- 51:57Speaker 1: with E, ends with E and has only one letter
- 52:00Speaker 1: in it? An envelope? How did the bullet lose its
- 52:06Speaker 1: job it got fired? Thirty six? What did the man
- 52:12Speaker 1: say when he walked into a bar? Ouch? My god?
- 52:17Speaker 1: Some ancient jokes in this list absolutely ancient. Number thirty seven.
- 52:22Speaker 1: Why do teenage girls travel in odd numbered groups? Why
- 52:27Speaker 1: do teenage girls travel in odd numbered groups because they
- 52:31Speaker 1: can't even Okay, I wonder if you get that number
- 52:38Speaker 1: thirty eight, What does a high school basketball player and
- 52:41Speaker 1: a jury have in common? What does a high school
- 52:45Speaker 1: basketball player and a jury have in common? Answer the court?
- 52:53Speaker 1: Number thirty nine, I think my algebra teacher is a pirate.
- 52:57Speaker 1: All she ever wants to do is find X Huh, okay,
- 53:03Speaker 1: quality is dropped off a little bit. And number forty,
- 53:07Speaker 1: how does the moon cut its hair? Eclipse it? Ooh,
- 53:12Speaker 1: I feel like we've just been punched in the stomach.
- 53:15Speaker 1: How does the moon cut its hair? Eclipse it? Oh? God?
- 53:19Speaker 1: Oh okay, I'm not sure I can take much more
- 53:23Speaker 1: of this. So what kind of music do balloons hate? Pop?
- 53:28Speaker 1: So pop is a kind of music, obviously, and pop
- 53:31Speaker 1: is also what happens when you stick a pin in
- 53:34Speaker 1: a balloon pop and the balloon the balloon bursts. So
- 53:38Speaker 1: what kind of music do balloons hate? Pop? Music? Because
- 53:42Speaker 1: pop and that's the end of the balloon. Okay. Oh?
- 53:47Speaker 1: And windows, what kind of music do windows hate? Rock? Uh?
- 53:51Speaker 1: Huh for obvious reasons? Number thirty two. I thought my
- 53:54Speaker 1: neighbors were lovely people. Then they went and put a
- 53:56Speaker 1: password on their Wi Fi. So that's not really a
- 53:59Speaker 1: joke like a pun word joke, is it? Really? It's
- 54:03Speaker 1: not a pun I guess the idea is that this
- 54:10Speaker 1: person was using their neighbors WiFi. I thought my neighbors
- 54:14Speaker 1: were lovely people. Then they went and put a password
- 54:16Speaker 1: on their WiFi. So yeah, I can't explain that any
- 54:20Speaker 1: any more than that, but maybe if you're if you're
- 54:24Speaker 1: kind of like secretly using your neighbor's WiFi, logging into
- 54:29Speaker 1: my neighbor's WiFi. Again, the losers didn't protect it with
- 54:31Speaker 1: a password. Ah, my neighbors are so nice ha ha ha.
- 54:38Speaker 1: And then oh they put a password and their WiFi. Oh,
- 54:41Speaker 1: and I thought they were so generous and lovely. I
- 54:44Speaker 1: don't know. It's difficult to explain that. One number thirty three.
- 54:48Speaker 1: This is I like this kind of joke, sort of weird,
- 54:51Speaker 1: weird silly jokes like this, What side of a turkey
- 54:54Speaker 1: has the most feathers? Are you're thinking the underside, the
- 54:57Speaker 1: top side, the bottom side? What side a turkey has
- 55:00Speaker 1: the most feathers? Not the top side or the bottom side,
- 55:03Speaker 1: and of the outside, because obviously the inside of a
- 55:07Speaker 1: turkey doesn't have any feathers, does it the outside does? Yeah?
- 55:14Speaker 1: Number thirty four, what starts with E ends with E
- 55:16Speaker 1: and it has only one letter in it? An envelope?
- 55:21Speaker 1: Technically true, the word envelope does have an e at
- 55:24Speaker 1: the end and a knee at the beginning, and the
- 55:27Speaker 1: typically an envelope contains one letter. So the double meaning
- 55:31Speaker 1: here is the word letter. A letter could be like ABCDFG.
- 55:35Speaker 1: These are letters, but also a letter could be a
- 55:37Speaker 1: thing that you write, Dear John, blah blah blah blah
- 55:40Speaker 1: blah blah, yours sincerely. Right. So what starts with an E,
- 55:45Speaker 1: ends with an e and has only one letter in
- 55:48Speaker 1: it an envelope? All right? Thirty five? How did the
- 55:52Speaker 1: bullet lose its job? It got fired? So the double
- 55:57Speaker 1: meaning is to get fired. To get fired means to
- 56:00Speaker 1: be told to leave your job. Right, that's it. You've
- 56:04Speaker 1: we've caught you stealing from the from the office three
- 56:08Speaker 1: times now, so that's it. Get your coat. You're fired.
- 56:11Speaker 1: So to be dismissed from your job, to lose your job,
- 56:14Speaker 1: to get fired, to get sacked, to get fired, to
- 56:17Speaker 1: get dismissed. But the bullet lost its job, it got fired,
- 56:21Speaker 1: so obviously bang click bang. That, of obviously, is another
- 56:28Speaker 1: meaning of the expression to get fired, meaning to get
- 56:31Speaker 1: fired from a gun. Very sophisticated stuff. This isn't it?
- 56:35Speaker 1: Number thirty six? What did the man say when he
- 56:38Speaker 1: walked into a bar? He said, ouch, because he just
- 56:42Speaker 1: walked into a bar. So this is not a bar
- 56:45Speaker 1: meaning a pub, but a bar meaning a large piece
- 56:49Speaker 1: of metal. Slam. He just walked into a bar. Ouch.
- 56:52Speaker 1: That's one of the oldest jokes in the book. A
- 56:55Speaker 1: man walks into a bar? Ouch because a man walks
- 56:58Speaker 1: into a bar is a common and beginning of a joke,
- 57:02Speaker 1: isn't it. Lots of jokes start with man walks into
- 57:06Speaker 1: a bar. In this case, what a man walks into
- 57:09Speaker 1: a bar? Ouch because he walked into an iron bar? Okay?
- 57:16Speaker 1: Number thirty seven. Why do teenage girls travel in odd
- 57:19Speaker 1: numbered groups? Okay? Odd numbers and even numbers? Odd and
- 57:24Speaker 1: even numbers? Do you know what these are? Odd numbers
- 57:28Speaker 1: and even numbers? Odd numbers are one, three, five, seven nine,
- 57:31Speaker 1: Even numbers two four, six eight? Right? Why do teenage
- 57:37Speaker 1: girls travel in odd numbered groups? Because they can't even? Now,
- 57:42Speaker 1: I can't even That is something that teenage girls might say,
- 57:47Speaker 1: and it's like an incomplete sentence. It's like, I can't
- 57:50Speaker 1: even I can't even I don't know what it would be,
- 57:55Speaker 1: what would be the complete version of I can't even
- 57:58Speaker 1: I can't even describe how cringe how cringey that is,
- 58:03Speaker 1: or I can't even think about that right now. I
- 58:07Speaker 1: can't even talk about it. I can't even comment on it.
- 58:11Speaker 1: I just I can't even. So it's the sort of
- 58:14Speaker 1: thing that teenage girls say when they don't like something,
- 58:18Speaker 1: or if they feel too many emotions, like if they
- 58:22Speaker 1: watch a very sad video online, they might write I
- 58:25Speaker 1: can't even full stop meaning I can't even describe how
- 58:29Speaker 1: to feel about that. So it's just a typical thing
- 58:32Speaker 1: that teenage girls says, I can't even. So why do
- 58:36Speaker 1: teenage girls travel in odd numbered groups? Because they can't
- 58:39Speaker 1: even I mean it grammatically doesn't work, but you get
- 58:44Speaker 1: the idea. They can't even so they can't travel in
- 58:47Speaker 1: odd numbered groups. Do you get it? Number thirty eight?
- 58:53Speaker 1: What does a high school I don't like this joke
- 58:54Speaker 1: because it's crap, isn't it. What does a high school
- 58:58Speaker 1: basketball player and a jury have in the court? Well,
- 59:01Speaker 1: I don't know why. It's a high school basketball player,
- 59:04Speaker 1: because any basketball player, right, this works for anyway. What
- 59:08Speaker 1: does a basketball player and a jury have in common?
- 59:11Speaker 1: The court. So this is a double meaning of the
- 59:13Speaker 1: word court. On one hand, you've got a basketball court,
- 59:16Speaker 1: which is the place where the basketball game is played,
- 59:19Speaker 1: the lines on the ground. This is the court, basketball court.
- 59:25Speaker 1: You have a football pitch. You have a basketball court,
- 59:28Speaker 1: tennis court, volleyball court, badminton court, right, and football pitch.
- 59:36Speaker 1: So that's one meaning of court. And obviously the jury,
- 59:40Speaker 1: they are in a court as well. You've got the judge,
- 59:42Speaker 1: the jury, you've got lawyers, you've got the defendant. This
- 59:45Speaker 1: is a court as well. I mean originally this is
- 59:48Speaker 1: because sports were played in courts, these rooms, these like
- 59:54Speaker 1: wooden paneled rooms, or these square spaces that would have
- 1:00:00Speaker 1: been part of sort of like a king's palace or home.
- 1:00:07Speaker 1: You get these square areas that's called a court. And
- 1:00:12Speaker 1: like criminal trials would be would have taken place in
- 1:00:15Speaker 1: the court, and also games of tennis or other sports
- 1:00:19Speaker 1: would have taken place in a court as well. These
- 1:00:21Speaker 1: days the things are totally separate, so that a basketball
- 1:00:25Speaker 1: court is a million miles away from a law court.
- 1:00:29Speaker 1: But in many, many years ago, there would have been
- 1:00:32Speaker 1: the same place, right anyway, the court, Yeah, number thirty nine.
- 1:00:39Speaker 1: I think my algebra teacher is a pirate. All she
- 1:00:42Speaker 1: ever wants to do is find X. Algebra, we're talking
- 1:00:47Speaker 1: about maths problems again, right, working out maths problems, working
- 1:00:51Speaker 1: out equations, and often in equations, you need to work
- 1:00:55Speaker 1: out what X represents. So x equals blah blah blah
- 1:01:00Speaker 1: blah blah, X equals and then an equation one over
- 1:01:05Speaker 1: nine plus three multiply by seven equals x, and you've
- 1:01:09Speaker 1: got to work out what X is. So my algebra
- 1:01:13Speaker 1: teacher is a pirate because all she wants to do
- 1:01:16Speaker 1: is find X. Because pirates are always trying to find X.
- 1:01:19Speaker 1: They've got a map, a treasure map, and there's an
- 1:01:22Speaker 1: X marked on the map, and that's where the treasure is.
- 1:01:25Speaker 1: So they're always trying to find X. So maths teacher
- 1:01:28Speaker 1: is a pirate because she's always trying to find X.
- 1:01:33Speaker 1: Genius and number forty. How does the moon cut its
- 1:01:39Speaker 1: hair eclipse it? How does the moon cut its hair
- 1:01:43Speaker 1: eclipse it? So this sounds like he clips it. To
- 1:01:48Speaker 1: clip something is another word for cut, right, To clip
- 1:01:52Speaker 1: something is to cut it. So eclipse it sounds like
- 1:01:56Speaker 1: he clips it, although the moon doesn't have hair, so
- 1:02:01Speaker 1: you know, I suppose it's because he clips it all
- 1:02:03Speaker 1: the time. Anyway, he clips it. But also, eclipse is
- 1:02:07Speaker 1: something that happens to the moon, right, a lunar eclipse.
- 1:02:13Speaker 1: This is where the Moon is covered up by the sun,
- 1:02:17Speaker 1: or the Moon is in the shadow of the sun
- 1:02:20Speaker 1: and so it disappears. Or when the moon passes in
- 1:02:23Speaker 1: front of the sun, you have a solar eclipse. How
- 1:02:27Speaker 1: does the moon cut its hair? Eclipse? It? He clips it?
- 1:02:35Speaker 1: Oh dear? Right, you know what, I'm going to do
- 1:02:38Speaker 1: nine more jokes so that I can end this with
- 1:02:41Speaker 1: a with an odd number because for some reading reading,
- 1:02:45Speaker 1: for some reason, odd numbered odd numbers in episode titles
- 1:02:50Speaker 1: appear to be more compelling than even numbers. I don't
- 1:02:54Speaker 1: know why three, five, seven, nine, odd numbers in episode
- 1:02:59Speaker 1: titles seem to work. So I'll do nine more and
- 1:03:02Speaker 1: is it nine more year? And then will be done?
- 1:03:04Speaker 1: All right? So number forty one, why did the selfie
- 1:03:07Speaker 1: go to prison? Why did the selfie go to prison?
- 1:03:10Speaker 1: It was framed? Ough? Oh dear? Number forty two? Which
- 1:03:18Speaker 1: hand is better to write with? Which hand is better
- 1:03:21Speaker 1: to write with? Neither. It's better to write with a pencil.
- 1:03:27Speaker 1: Not bad. Number forty three were any famous men and
- 1:03:32Speaker 1: women born on your birthday? Were any famous men and
- 1:03:38Speaker 1: women born on your birthday? No? Only babies? Forty four
- 1:03:44Speaker 1: What do you call high school kids who haven't been
- 1:03:47Speaker 1: able to go to school because of COVID nineteen? What
- 1:03:51Speaker 1: do you call high school kids who haven't been able
- 1:03:53Speaker 1: to go to school because of COVID nineteen? The answer
- 1:03:57Speaker 1: quarantines Forty five What do you call the horse that
- 1:04:04Speaker 1: lives next door? What do you call the horse that
- 1:04:09Speaker 1: lives next door your neighbor? Okay? And number forty six,
- 1:04:19Speaker 1: how do you drown a hipster? Another hipster joke? How
- 1:04:22Speaker 1: do you drown a hipster in the mainstream? Okay? All right?
- 1:04:30Speaker 1: Forty seven How did Benjamin Franklin feel when he discovered electricity? Shocked?
- 1:04:39Speaker 1: Forty eight What do you call a boomerang that won't
- 1:04:42Speaker 1: come back? What do you call a boomerang that won't
- 1:04:45Speaker 1: come back? A stick? And finally, number forty nine, it
- 1:04:50Speaker 1: had better be a good one. Why do bees have
- 1:04:54Speaker 1: sticky hair? Why do bees have dicky hare? Because they
- 1:05:01Speaker 1: use honeycombs? Yeah? Okay, so let's go back then and
- 1:05:09Speaker 1: explain this last selection. So why did the selfie go
- 1:05:13Speaker 1: to prison? To be honest, it could have been why
- 1:05:14Speaker 1: did the photo go to prison? But I suppose they're
- 1:05:16Speaker 1: trying to make this list appeal to teenagers for some reason,
- 1:05:19Speaker 1: so it has to be a selfie, although this could
- 1:05:21Speaker 1: have easily have worked with just the word photo. Anyway,
- 1:05:24Speaker 1: why did the selfie go to prison? Because it was framed.
- 1:05:29Speaker 1: So a photograph can be framed in the sense that
- 1:05:32Speaker 1: it's put in the frame, right, it's put inside the
- 1:05:35Speaker 1: frame of the photograph. Right. A photograph can be well
- 1:05:41Speaker 1: framed or badly framed. If it's badly framed, it means
- 1:05:44Speaker 1: half of your face is outside the frame of the photo.
- 1:05:47Speaker 1: That's badly framed. Well framed means your faces in the
- 1:05:50Speaker 1: middle of the photo. So it framed. Or it could
- 1:05:53Speaker 1: be framed meaning put in a frame and put on
- 1:05:55Speaker 1: the wall, put in a picture frame nice like you know,
- 1:05:58Speaker 1: frame with a black order and put on the wall
- 1:06:01Speaker 1: with glass on the front. That also is another meaning
- 1:06:03Speaker 1: of the word framed. But in the in the context
- 1:06:08Speaker 1: of going to prison and crime and stuff, if you
- 1:06:11Speaker 1: are framed, it means that you are set up so
- 1:06:15Speaker 1: that it looks like you're guilty. For example, let's say
- 1:06:23Speaker 1: someone murders somebody. Right, they murder someone, but they want
- 1:06:29Speaker 1: to make it look like you did it. So what
- 1:06:32Speaker 1: they do is maybe they hmmm, how would they frame you.
- 1:06:38Speaker 1: They'd they'd take some like they'd steal some of your
- 1:06:43Speaker 1: hair from your pillow and drop the hair next to
- 1:06:47Speaker 1: the murder site. And they'd maybe take some other evidence
- 1:06:52Speaker 1: of yours and put it near the murder site, right,
- 1:06:56Speaker 1: And maybe they would find a way to make it
- 1:06:59Speaker 1: look like you were the one who did the murder.
- 1:07:02Speaker 1: And then the police would investigate, they'd find all this
- 1:07:04Speaker 1: evidence and they'd go, we're pretty sure that this is
- 1:07:07Speaker 1: the guy who did it. And then they'd arrest you
- 1:07:10Speaker 1: and you'd go to prison. And you're like, I'm innocent.
- 1:07:11Speaker 1: I'm innocent. I've been framed, right, that's to be framed.
- 1:07:15Speaker 1: So why did the selfie go to prison because it
- 1:07:18Speaker 1: was framed? Mm hmm? Right? Number forty two. Which hand
- 1:07:24Speaker 1: is better to write with? Neither it's better to write
- 1:07:27Speaker 1: with a pencil. I quite like that. I have to
- 1:07:30Speaker 1: say which hand is better to write with? You're thinking,
- 1:07:33Speaker 1: should you write with your right hand or should you
- 1:07:35Speaker 1: write with your left hand. Neither, it's better to write
- 1:07:38Speaker 1: with a pencil. Don't write with your hand, write with
- 1:07:42Speaker 1: a pencil. Fair enough, fair enough. Number forty three. Were
- 1:07:49Speaker 1: any famous men and women born on your birthday? No?
- 1:07:52Speaker 1: Only babies? Yeah, this is true. No men or women
- 1:07:57Speaker 1: are born, are they? You know? Like imagine, oh, missus Smith,
- 1:08:01Speaker 1: you're pregnant. It's your due date today, You've got to
- 1:08:04Speaker 1: go to the hospital and then okay, push, missus Smith, push,
- 1:08:08Speaker 1: it's nearly here. Keep pushing, pushing, pushing. Pop. Hello there Hi. Yeah,
- 1:08:14Speaker 1: so I've fantastic to have just been born. And that's
- 1:08:17Speaker 1: if a man was born. You get the idea, right,
- 1:08:22Speaker 1: No men or women are born on your birthday. Only
- 1:08:26Speaker 1: babies are born? Yeah, okay. Forty forty four. What do
- 1:08:31Speaker 1: you call high school kids who haven't been able to
- 1:08:33Speaker 1: go to school because of COVID nineteen quarantines? So quarantine.
- 1:08:38Speaker 1: Quarantine is when obviously you have to stay separated from
- 1:08:43Speaker 1: everyone else, maybe because you might be sick and we
- 1:08:46Speaker 1: don't want it to spread. Similarly, when animals travel, they
- 1:08:51Speaker 1: have to be quarantined, so they're put in quarantine. But teen,
- 1:08:57Speaker 1: of course teen we think of teenagers, teens are teenagers.
- 1:09:02Speaker 1: These are jokes for teens. Jokes for teenagers. So what
- 1:09:06Speaker 1: about kids who haven't been able to go to school
- 1:09:08Speaker 1: because of COVID nineteen? They are called quarantines? All right?
- 1:09:13Speaker 1: Number forty five, what do you call the horse that
- 1:09:15Speaker 1: lives next door your neighbor? So? Nay? Nay is the
- 1:09:21Speaker 1: sound that a horse makes. Right, My daughter's really good
- 1:09:24Speaker 1: at making this sound effect. I'm not so good at it,
- 1:09:30Speaker 1: told you, so, nay is the sound that a horse makes.
- 1:09:34Speaker 1: No like that? So, but also neighbor, your neighbor and
- 1:09:40Speaker 1: your neighbor, Okay. Number forty six, how do you drown
- 1:09:47Speaker 1: a hipster? To drown someone is kill them by putting
- 1:09:51Speaker 1: them in water so they can't breathe. How do you
- 1:09:54Speaker 1: drown a hipster in the mainstream? Right? Yeah, So the
- 1:10:00Speaker 1: mainstream means like the kind of part of culture that
- 1:10:07Speaker 1: everyone It's like the well known aspect of culture, the
- 1:10:14Speaker 1: stuff that everyone knows. So things that are mainstream are
- 1:10:18Speaker 1: things that are popular with everyone. So if we talk
- 1:10:20Speaker 1: about mainstream music, mainstream movies, you know, mainstream movies are
- 1:10:26Speaker 1: like the Star Wars, Marvel films. Mainstream music, that's stuff
- 1:10:30Speaker 1: like Taylor Swift and Duwa Leaper, the pop music that
- 1:10:34Speaker 1: everybody knows, this is mainstream, and then the other stuff
- 1:10:38Speaker 1: that fewer people know about, the stuff that kind of
- 1:10:41Speaker 1: hipsters know about, the stuff that is maybe not cool
- 1:10:45Speaker 1: yet not part of the mainstream yet. This is alternative stuff, right,
- 1:10:49Speaker 1: alternative music, alternative culture, And this is where hipster's This
- 1:10:55Speaker 1: is what hipster's like. They're like the alternative stuff, not
- 1:10:58Speaker 1: the stuff that everyone likes. They don't like that mainstream stuff.
- 1:11:02Speaker 1: They like the cool or the hip alternative things. So
- 1:11:07Speaker 1: how do you drown a hipster in the mainstream because
- 1:11:10Speaker 1: they can't stand the mainstream stuff? But mainstream sounds like
- 1:11:15Speaker 1: a river as well, doesn't it. A stream is like
- 1:11:18Speaker 1: water running through you know, like a river. How do
- 1:11:22Speaker 1: you drown a hipster in the mainstream? Okay? And forty seven?
- 1:11:30Speaker 1: How did Benjamin Franklin feel when he discovered electricity? So
- 1:11:34Speaker 1: if you know about this, Benjamin Franklin did an experiment
- 1:11:38Speaker 1: about electricity, the conductivity of electricity. You flew a kite
- 1:11:43Speaker 1: with a metal key attached to it during an electrical storm,
- 1:11:48Speaker 1: and he got electrocuted because the kite got struck by lightning.
- 1:11:55Speaker 1: The lightning went down the line of his kite and
- 1:11:59Speaker 1: he got electrocute. Right, So how did he feel when
- 1:12:02Speaker 1: he discovered electricity? He felt shocked. Shocked obviously means surprised,
- 1:12:08Speaker 1: but it can also literally mean shocked by electricity. Okay,
- 1:12:14Speaker 1: forty eight? What do you call a boomerang that won't
- 1:12:16Speaker 1: come back? A boomerang obviously is an Australian traditional Aboriginal
- 1:12:21Speaker 1: Australian weapon which you throw and it comes back again.
- 1:12:28Speaker 1: But what do you call a boomerang that won't come back? Well,
- 1:12:31Speaker 1: it's just a stick, isn't it. A stick is a
- 1:12:33Speaker 1: just like a branch of a tree made from wood.
- 1:12:37Speaker 1: A piece of wood is a stick. So a boomerang
- 1:12:40Speaker 1: that won't come back is just a stick, all right.
- 1:12:44Speaker 1: And finally, why do bees have sticky hair? Because they
- 1:12:47Speaker 1: use honey combs. So a comb is obviously a thing
- 1:12:51Speaker 1: that you use to comb your hair. Right, It's like
- 1:12:55Speaker 1: a thing with teeth and you run it through your
- 1:12:57Speaker 1: hair and it sort of makes your hair look neat
- 1:12:59Speaker 1: and tidy. But also, honey comb is what bees produce. Right,
- 1:13:07Speaker 1: if you've got a beehive, bees obviously making honey, but
- 1:13:10Speaker 1: the honey is made inside these little hexagonal these hexagonal structures.
- 1:13:18Speaker 1: These are called honeycombs. This is where the honey. You
- 1:13:22Speaker 1: squeeze the honey out of these things. These are honeycombs.
- 1:13:25Speaker 1: They're often dripping with honey. So there's a double meaning.
- 1:13:29Speaker 1: Honeycombs meaning those structures where bees are making honey, and
- 1:13:34Speaker 1: a comb, the thing you use to comb your hair.
- 1:13:37Speaker 1: Why do bees have sticky hair because they use honeycombs? Yep, Okay,
- 1:13:45Speaker 1: so that's where we're going to leave the jokes. I
- 1:13:48Speaker 1: thought that maybe though, since we're learning English here, or
- 1:13:51Speaker 1: at least you are, I think I've probably mostly got
- 1:13:56Speaker 1: it now in terms of learning English. But anyway, since
- 1:13:58Speaker 1: I'm trying to help you learn English, what I'll do
- 1:14:01Speaker 1: now is just quickly fly through a list of vocabulary
- 1:14:06Speaker 1: that has just come up in this episode. So let's
- 1:14:08Speaker 1: do a really quick vocab review. And I'm going to
- 1:14:11Speaker 1: make a vocab list and go through it with you.
- 1:14:14Speaker 1: Let's do that right now. Okay, So what I'm going
- 1:14:16Speaker 1: to do is just try to make you remember the
- 1:14:20Speaker 1: different words and phrases that have come up, not all
- 1:14:23Speaker 1: of them, but quite a lot. I don't know how
- 1:14:25Speaker 1: many things I've got in this list, quite a lot,
- 1:14:28Speaker 1: I think let's just have a look. So we're looking
- 1:14:31Speaker 1: at about twenty eight different items of vocabulary here. So
- 1:14:34Speaker 1: the first thing is a word that means you really
- 1:14:38Speaker 1: need something, you really want something. For example, you really
- 1:14:41Speaker 1: want an answer to a certain question. In fact, you
- 1:14:44Speaker 1: want it so much you're willing to go even to
- 1:14:46Speaker 1: the second page of the Google search results. You are
- 1:14:49Speaker 1: absolutely for it. If you really need the toilet, you
- 1:14:53Speaker 1: could say that you are for the toilet. So the
- 1:14:55Speaker 1: word is desperate, right, to be desperate for something. Okay,
- 1:15:02Speaker 1: So what do we call the situation when somebody doesn't
- 1:15:08Speaker 1: know anything? They haven't been educated, they don't know, they
- 1:15:12Speaker 1: just don't know things because they're not they're uneducated, haven't
- 1:15:16Speaker 1: been told or educated the right things to do, or
- 1:15:19Speaker 1: they don't know about general knowledge. We call this ignorance
- 1:15:25Speaker 1: as well, right ignorance, or to be ignorant. And similarly,
- 1:15:31Speaker 1: and a different concept, when someone just doesn't care, someone
- 1:15:34Speaker 1: who doesn't care about anything at all, we would say
- 1:15:38Speaker 1: that they are apathetic, but the noun is apathy, So
- 1:15:42Speaker 1: ignorance and apathy ignorance, I don't know, apathy, I don't care.
- 1:15:47Speaker 1: What's this to do? What to clap your hands. Of course,
- 1:15:52Speaker 1: what about dinosaurs. They don't exist anymore, or at least
- 1:15:55Speaker 1: you know they evolved into other animals. But things like
- 1:15:58Speaker 1: the Tyrannosaurus rex and Digosaurus, all the classic dinosaurs, triceratops,
- 1:16:03Speaker 1: they don't exist anymore because they are what they are extinct. Yeah,
- 1:16:08Speaker 1: they went extinct millions of years ago. I was trying
- 1:16:13Speaker 1: to work something out and then suddenly I realized the answer.
- 1:16:16Speaker 1: It me. I was trying to work it out and
- 1:16:19Speaker 1: suddenly I got it. It hit me right, It hit
- 1:16:23Speaker 1: me suddenly realized the answer. What about if you borrow
- 1:16:26Speaker 1: money right, For example, you need to get a bank
- 1:16:30Speaker 1: loan to help you pay for your university studies, and
- 1:16:33Speaker 1: then you are what you have and you can be
- 1:16:36Speaker 1: in what it's debt to have debt or to to
- 1:16:43Speaker 1: be in debt, and that b is silent right to
- 1:16:47Speaker 1: be in debt, to have debt. What about you when
- 1:16:52Speaker 1: you did did you go to university? Have you been
- 1:16:54Speaker 1: to university? Were you in debt when you left university?
- 1:16:58Speaker 1: I was luckily of paid it all off. Now another
- 1:17:03Speaker 1: expression it means to go walking, maybe to go walking
- 1:17:06Speaker 1: in the countryside, walking in the hills or the mountains,
- 1:17:09Speaker 1: or something is to go hiking. Right. Next expression if
- 1:17:14Speaker 1: you're writing an essay. You're writing an essay, you wouldn't
- 1:17:18Speaker 1: just write the final version. The first thing you write
- 1:17:21Speaker 1: wouldn't be the final version. I know you're thinking, yeah, Luke,
- 1:17:23Speaker 1: I would just use chat GPT. No, that's cheating. You
- 1:17:28Speaker 1: write a first version where you make mistakes and stuff,
- 1:17:31Speaker 1: and you make corrections, and then you do your final version.
- 1:17:35Speaker 1: Although these days, of course we use computers and stuff,
- 1:17:37Speaker 1: so we just tend to work on one version. But
- 1:17:40Speaker 1: if you're in an exam and you're doing it on paper,
- 1:17:43Speaker 1: you might do what a rough draft first before the
- 1:17:48Speaker 1: final version. If you lose your job because you've done
- 1:17:51Speaker 1: something wrong, you get what You get fired or get sacked.
- 1:18:01Speaker 1: If you do something like, for example, tell a joke
- 1:18:03Speaker 1: in front of a group of people, hopefully you will
- 1:18:06Speaker 1: hopefully they won't just completely ignore you. Hopefully you will
- 1:18:09Speaker 1: get some response from them. You will get a reaction. Right.
- 1:18:14Speaker 1: If you're doing an experiment with chemicals, you mix some
- 1:18:16Speaker 1: chemicals together, you would get a chemical reaction, right. Uh.
- 1:18:22Speaker 1: If you see something and you identify it's like, well
- 1:18:25Speaker 1: that hey, look that's a leopard, isn't it? There? Look
- 1:18:27Speaker 1: and you see that. That's a leopard, right, Or like
- 1:18:31Speaker 1: you you're looking at some birds and you say, hey,
- 1:18:33Speaker 1: look at that. Look that's a that's a that's a
- 1:18:35Speaker 1: red kite over there. Wow, that's quite a rare bird
- 1:18:38Speaker 1: to spot something. If something is difficult to to to accept,
- 1:18:45Speaker 1: for example, someone tells you some bad news and it's
- 1:18:48Speaker 1: just like, wait a minute, I can't. I need to
- 1:18:49Speaker 1: sit down. I can't, I can't. I can't deal with that,
- 1:18:53Speaker 1: then you could say it's hard to swallow. Also, swallow
- 1:18:57Speaker 1: is part of eating. You you and then you chew
- 1:19:02Speaker 1: and then you swallow. Right. If you've got an item like,
- 1:19:08Speaker 1: for example, a sandwich maker or something, but it's just
- 1:19:12Speaker 1: sitting on a shelf just slowly getting dusty, dusty, you
- 1:19:16Speaker 1: could say it is dust, it's collecting dust, or it's
- 1:19:20Speaker 1: gathering dust. That's why I sold my vacuum cleaner because
- 1:19:24Speaker 1: it was just gathering dust. If you're completely lost and
- 1:19:27Speaker 1: you don't know what's going on, like for example, it's
- 1:19:29Speaker 1: your first day in a new job and not oh god,
- 1:19:32Speaker 1: I'm really confused. What. I don't know what's going on,
- 1:19:34Speaker 1: I don't know where I am. I'm feeling a bit
- 1:19:36Speaker 1: lost at sea, So you can literally be lost at
- 1:19:39Speaker 1: sea if you're out in the ocean you don't know
- 1:19:42Speaker 1: where you are. But also you could we use this
- 1:19:45Speaker 1: idiom to just mean that you're feeling it. You're feeling
- 1:19:47Speaker 1: a bit lost, like I'm just I'm sorry, I'm lost
- 1:19:49Speaker 1: at sea, Like you don't know what's going on. If
- 1:19:52Speaker 1: you know everything, you're a bit annoying because you know everything, right,
- 1:19:56Speaker 1: people might call you this For someone who knows everything,
- 1:20:00Speaker 1: you can be a bit of a know it all right.
- 1:20:05Speaker 1: What's another word for a connection, an emotional connection that
- 1:20:09Speaker 1: you would form with somebody. We call it an emotional bond.
- 1:20:13Speaker 1: So a bond is a connection. Okay, what about hipsters?
- 1:20:17Speaker 1: They like things before? What they like things before they
- 1:20:21Speaker 1: are cool? Or you know, I liked it before it
- 1:20:23Speaker 1: was cool. To invent a story or invent something, to
- 1:20:30Speaker 1: kind of lie or invent something or create something in
- 1:20:35Speaker 1: your head, it would be for example, oh, you know,
