• 0:29
  I Hate Talking: Welcome to episode 60 of I Hate Talking.
• 0:33
  I Hate Talking: Whoa, hi everyone.
• 0:35
  I Hate Talking: So 60s exciting, but 50s not.
• 0:39
  I Hate Talking: -- I -- you.
• 0:40
  I Hate Talking: I guess, I guess I'm more excited for, is that weird that I'm more excited for 60 than 50?
• 0:46
  I Hate Talking: Yeah, I think so, because 50 is half of 100 and 60 doesn't really have any particular multiplier.
• 0:51
  I Hate Talking: I don't know.
• 0:52
  I Hate Talking: 60 sounds like you're over halfway, like.
• 0:57
  I Hate Talking: I don't know.
• 0:59
  I Hate Talking: I think 60 is a big deal.
• 1:01
  I Hate Talking: Halfway to what?
• 1:03
  I Hate Talking: 120.
• 1:05
  I Hate Talking: I don't know.
• 1:08
  I Hate Talking: You, what number is more exciting for you?
• 1:10
  I Hate Talking: 50.
• 1:11
  I Hate Talking: Y'all put in the caption, what's more exciting, 50 or 60?
• 1:15
  I Hate Talking: OK, we'll find out.
• 1:18
  I Hate Talking: We'll find out.
• 1:19
  I Hate Talking: So, today's word or phrase comes from a particular word that we used in our previous episode, rubric.
• 1:26
  I Hate Talking: Rubric.
• 1:29
  I Hate Talking: I use that word.
• 1:32
  I Hate Talking: So would you care to define it then since you're the one that used it?
• 1:35
  I Hate Talking: Sure, but were you impressed I used that word?
• 1:37
  I Hate Talking: I was.
• 1:37
  I Hate Talking: So as I can tell when you're impressed at a word I use.
• 1:42
  I Hate Talking: I used another word in conversation recently and you were like, what?
• 1:45
  I Hate Talking: It's like that's the right word, right?
• 1:48
  I Hate Talking: And yeah, but.
• 1:48
  I Hate Talking: Big word.
• 1:50
  I Hate Talking: OK, so rubric.
• 1:53
  I Hate Talking: I always think of it as in the concept of school or just in structure.
• 2:00
  I Hate Talking: Like these are the things that we're gonna hit, like the ideas, um, or goals, concepts, structure, that this happens, then this, then this.
• 2:13
  I Hate Talking: And you kind of have to check them off to be complete.
• 2:16
  I Hate Talking: Yep, so according to our favorite Oxford language dictionary, it can actually mean a number of different things.
• 2:25
  I Hate Talking: So, what you were referring to is definition number 2.
• 2:30
  I Hate Talking: So it basically means a statement of purpose or function.
• 2:35
  I Hate Talking: So with regards to how something is done or almost like a checklist that certain things have to be done in order to serve their purpose or function is.
• 2:47
  I Hate Talking: One of the main definitions of the word rubric.
• 2:51
  I Hate Talking: It can also specifically mean a liturgical book as How a church function should be conducted.
• 3:02
  I Hate Talking: So the rubric on conducting a service or program would be another definition of rubric, Essentially liturgy.
• 3:12
  I Hate Talking: Now it's not the liturgy itself.
• 3:15
  I Hate Talking: So if you are doing a responsive reading or reciting something or doing the pledge of Allegiance or whatever the case may be, it is not the Liturgy itself.
• 3:29
  I Hate Talking: It is basically the instruction that that particular recitation or reading should be done.
• 3:37
  I Hate Talking: So, again, sort of the same concept as your checklist.
• 3:41
  I Hate Talking: OK.
• 3:41
  I Hate Talking: So that's how rubric would be used in terms of liturgy.
• 3:47
  I Hate Talking: It's not the recitation itself, but basically that they need to do that recitation during that program or service.
• 3:56
  I Hate Talking: And then it can also mean just generally a category.
• 4:00
  I Hate Talking: So the example given here is, quote, such ideas fall naturally under the rubric of postmodernism, end quote.
• 4:10
  I Hate Talking: OK, but even as a category, it's still saying like these are the checklist, right, or these are the concepts you have to reach for postmodernism.
• 4:20
  I Hate Talking: Correct, yes.
• 4:22
  I Hate Talking: So the etymology of this one is interesting.
• 4:26
  I Hate Talking: It actually comes from Latin and it comes from the Latin word rubius, which means red, and then was used in the old French as rubric and the Middle English as rubrish and then came to be used in the modern language as rubric within the English.
• 4:49
  I Hate Talking: And this word is perhaps different than any of our previous words where it had some of the existing definition as it flowed through the different languages and the etymology of the word, but this particular word, rubric is a modern word that just draws on the fact that that Latin word rubius literally means red.
• 5:17
  I Hate Talking: What are your feelings about the word rubius?
• 5:22
  I Hate Talking: Well, it makes sense that it would be red since it calls to mind rubies.
• 5:28
  I Hate Talking: So perhaps that's where rubies get their etymology as well, and that would be something that perhaps the Latin speakers of the day would refer to rubies as rubius in terms of their description of color.
• 5:45
  I Hate Talking: How do you feel about the word?
• 5:47
  I Hate Talking: I don't have any particular feelings about the word.
• 5:51
  I Hate Talking: I don't think.
• 5:51
  I Hate Talking: Does it sound like anything else, you know?
• 5:55
  I Hate Talking: No, I don't think so.
• 5:58
  I Hate Talking: You've always, I'm harking back like instantly heard when you listed those Latin words.
• 6:04
  I Hate Talking: For every pregnancy we ever had, you always like the name Ruben, was like the name you'd always throw out there.
• 6:12
  I Hate Talking: We never used it.
• 6:14
  I Hate Talking: What's the root words again?
• 6:17
  I Hate Talking: What are they?
• 6:17
  I Hate Talking: Rubius in Latin.
• 6:21
  I Hate Talking: Rubric in French, Ruris in Middle English, and rubric in modern English.
• 6:29
  I Hate Talking: They don't sound like Ruben to you?
• 6:31
  I Hate Talking: Perhaps a little bit, but no, I was thinking more of a word, not a name.
• 6:35
  I Hate Talking: OK.
• 6:36
  I Hate Talking: I don't know if you'd be like drawn to those and be like, yes, I like that word cause you always wanted it and I, I mean, it's a great word.
• 6:45
  I Hate Talking: If your name is Ruben, it's an amazing name and we're happy for you.
• 6:49
  I Hate Talking: It just, I felt like never fit.
• 6:51
  I Hate Talking: Well, maybe for the next kid then.
• 6:53
  I Hate Talking: Oh.
• 6:55
  I Hate Talking: Next kid?
• 6:57
  I Hate Talking: No.
• 6:58
  I Hate Talking: It was a joke.
• 7:00
  I Hate Talking: This is not an announcement.
• 7:02
  I Hate Talking: No kid.
• 7:02
  I Hate Talking: Correct.
• 7:03
  I Hate Talking: So if you're open to it, I would be OK.
• 7:08
  I Hate Talking: I'm not open to it.
• 7:10
  I Hate Talking: I'm committed to that decision.
• 7:12
  I Hate Talking: So the early Latin writers would not have used rubius to mean that concept of rubric that we were discussing in terms of liturgy or checklist or categories.
• 7:27
  I Hate Talking: They would have only used rubius in terms of the exact description of an object as having that red color.
• 7:34
  I Hate Talking: It does have some relationship to how they would describe Earth in terms of the red clay.
• 7:41
  I Hate Talking: So that also would be how they would have used that particular word, but they would not have used it as rubric.
• 7:49
  I Hate Talking: The way that rubric comes about in the English is just because it means literally red and that color of text would have been used in a rubric to indicate.
• 8:05
  I Hate Talking: That type of checklist or categories that had to be met in order to do something in a liturgical fashion, while the liturgy itself would be in normal black text.
• 8:18
  I Hate Talking: Interesting because it's true, right?
• 8:19
  I Hate Talking: When you read something, they often will put something in red, and that's like the emergency or urgent or necessity.
• 8:28
  I Hate Talking: Kind of information.
• 8:30
  I Hate Talking: So that's what they're, you're saying?
• 8:33
  I Hate Talking: Precisely.
• 8:33
  I Hate Talking: So rubric in terms of education or business would be those critical things that have to be done and then the regular text would have been sort of the extended definition or even the specifics on sort of that category of things that must be done and you might even have some things where rubrics are written in superscription, so.
• 9:00
  I Hate Talking: Aside the text or above the text in terms of a title or critical information, and then the rest of the information follows that is not technically part of the rubric.
• 9:14
  I Hate Talking: So that is how rubric came to be used in the modern English versus how Latin writers of the day would have used that just to describe the color.
• 9:25
  I Hate Talking: Super interesting.
• 9:26
  I Hate Talking: So, I feel like that's very different than your typical word.
• 9:30
  I Hate Talking: It's kind of using a concept more than a word itself, right?
• 9:36
  I Hate Talking: Precisely, I don't think in any of our previous 59 episodes that we ever had a word that used just a literal thing from the root Latin or Greek, like rubric does, I think in all of our previous words of the episode or phrases of the episode that it's always been something where that came from the literal definition.
• 10:03
  I Hate Talking: In the Greek and Latin roots and then changed over time as it became used in modern languages.
• 10:09
  I Hate Talking: Man, I knew 60 was important.
• 10:11
  I Hate Talking: See?
• 10:12
  I Hate Talking: Well, there you go.
• 10:13
  I Hate Talking: -- We have some special -- 60 60th episode and it's a special, yep, so that is our special occurrence for our 60th episode.
• 10:23
  I Hate Talking: And we probably use rubrics quite often because I think we even have a rubric for our podcast series.
• 10:31
  I Hate Talking: Are you talking about the like intro?
• 10:34
  I Hate Talking: And then word of the day kind of thing.
• 10:38
  I Hate Talking: Precisely, I think we followed that rubric, all 60 episodes.
• 10:43
  I Hate Talking: Wow.
• 10:44
  I Hate Talking: So now we'll move on to our topic, which is another rubric of our podcast, and we'll try to solve our rubric cube during this episode.
• 10:56
  I Hate Talking: Have you ever solved it for a big?
• 10:59
  I Hate Talking: Well, that was a joke because it's a different word because the cube that you would solve with different colors is actually a Rubik's cube.
• 11:10
  I Hate Talking: Uh, different word sounds same y'all harke me back to even last episode when we talked about how we, that we met and I engaged very quickly.
• 11:19
  I Hate Talking: The very first time I ever saw Adam, he had a Rubik's cube.
• 11:24
  I Hate Talking: So it's appropriate, right?
• 11:28
  I Hate Talking: That you love a rubric.
• 11:29
  I Hate Talking: I suppose so.
• 11:31
  I Hate Talking: I don't even remember a Rubik's cube, so perhaps that will be an episode another time that we can discuss our meeting and history of relationship.
• 11:42
  I Hate Talking: Mhm.
• 11:42
  I Hate Talking: No, but I was just going with a joke because Our topic was jokes, so I was trying to throw one in there.
• 11:50
  I Hate Talking: Maybe didn't do a very good job, but still got you to laugh, so I guess that's the measure of a successful joker or not.
• 11:57
  I Hate Talking: And it's appropriate to talk about because I feel like our sense of humor is very different.
• 12:05
  I Hate Talking: And a lot of times what I think is funny, you don't, or vice versa.
• 12:10
  I Hate Talking: So, and then you'll explain the joke and then I'll find it funny.
• 12:14
  I Hate Talking: So that's super appropriate and y'all had a real-time experience of our real life.
• 12:21
  I Hate Talking: Precisely, and now humor is expanding to our progeny as well.
• 12:27
  I Hate Talking: Yeah.
• 12:28
  I Hate Talking: Um, they all have a different sense of humor, but our oldest, I think favors my sense of humor a lot, and it's, you know, is it because he gets more time with me?
• 12:42
  I Hate Talking: I don't know, or he's just bent that way.
• 12:45
  I Hate Talking: But he makes me laugh so much with his jokes.
• 12:49
  I Hate Talking: Do you wanna hear a joke?
• 12:50
  I Hate Talking: This wasn't original to him.
• 12:52
  I Hate Talking: But he shared it with me and then I shared it with my brother, who has a similar sense of humor, and we all just had the best laugh ever.
• 12:59
  I Hate Talking: Sure, -- let's hear -- it.
• 13:02
  I Hate Talking: And it's not a meme, y'all, if you've noticed, I've stopped talking about memes, cause we're a podcast, we're not visual.
• 13:08
  I Hate Talking: But I still love a good meme.
• 13:10
  I Hate Talking: That's true.
• 13:12
  I Hate Talking: So there's two individuals talking, and the first one goes, my granddaddy is 75 years old, and he did not fight in World War 1 or 2 for this kind of silliness.
• 13:24
  I Hate Talking: Well, World War 1 was over 100 years ago.
• 13:27
  I Hate Talking: I know.
• 13:29
  I Hate Talking: He did not fight in World War 1 or 2, like I said.
• 13:33
  I Hate Talking: Well, there you go.
• 13:35
  I Hate Talking: It's so funny.
• 13:37
  I Hate Talking: Do you think it's funny?
• 13:39
  I Hate Talking: Um, it's humorous, but I would not find it excessively funny.
• 13:45
  I Hate Talking: I love it.
• 13:47
  I Hate Talking: He said that to me.
• 13:48
  I Hate Talking: It was one of, he sends me jokes occasionally, and that was one that like, I had tears in my eyes laughing at.
• 13:53
  I Hate Talking: So I think our sense of humor is different.
• 13:57
  I Hate Talking: I find those sort of jokes, I find puns extremely funny.
• 14:01
  I Hate Talking: I find that kind of situational, like, like, that's exactly what I said.
• 14:07
  I Hate Talking: They initially did say that he did not fight in those wars.
• 14:12
  I Hate Talking: So that's the sense of humor I have.
• 14:14
  I Hate Talking: What do you think is funny?
• 14:15
  I Hate Talking: So, before we get to that, what would you categorize your sense of humor as then?
• 14:22
  I Hate Talking: I don't know, situational, my situational humor?
• 14:27
  I Hate Talking: Yeah, situational humor.
• 14:28
  I Hate Talking: I think there's probably a little bit of a subcategory within situational humor, where most people would call that slapstick comedy.
• 14:36
  I Hate Talking: Hm yeah, OK, slapstick, I could see that.
• 14:38
  I Hate Talking: I think that's really funny.
• 14:40
  I Hate Talking: All the Johnny Carson, is that what you're thinking of?
• 14:43
  I Hate Talking: I think he's funny.
• 14:44
  I Hate Talking: Yeah, Johnny Carson, some of those movies that have some of those off the wall situational type things like Waiting for Guffman and The Dog Show.
• 14:56
  I Hate Talking: Oh those are so good.
• 14:57
  I Hate Talking: Yes, that's what I'm thinking of.
• 14:58
  I Hate Talking: -- You don't -- like those though, right?
• 15:00
  I Hate Talking: No, not particularly.
• 15:02
  I Hate Talking: I do not find them excessively funny.
• 15:03
  I Hate Talking: Would you find it funny?
• 15:05
  I Hate Talking: I ruin them because especially that category that um there's a whole genre Waiting for Guffman and The Dog Show, I think it's called, and things like that.
• 15:15
  I Hate Talking: Best in Show, you even know.
• 15:18
  I Hate Talking: What's the one with the band?
• 15:21
  I Hate Talking: Oh, that's the best.
• 15:22
  I Hate Talking: A Mighty Wind, the best show in the world, I will stand by that.
• 15:27
  I Hate Talking: But I think they're so funny that I ruin it, probably for other people, cause I'm laughing before the punch line gets there.
• 15:34
  I Hate Talking: Would you enjoy it without watching it with me?
• 15:37
  I Hate Talking: No, probably not.
• 15:39
  I Hate Talking: Now there was, in addition to a Mighty Wind, wasn't there a rock version or is that, I thought there was one specifically, no, I thought there was another one.
• 15:50
  I Hate Talking: Mm.
• 15:51
  I Hate Talking: It makes me laugh.
• 15:55
  I Hate Talking: I love it so much.
• 15:56
  I Hate Talking: Spinal Tap is the one I'm thinking of.
• 15:59
  I Hate Talking: Spinal Tap, yeah, that's a good one too, but a Mighty Wind, y'all, if you haven't seen it, stop listening right now.
• 16:05
  I Hate Talking: Go watch it and then come back and tell us how amazing it is.
• 16:08
  I Hate Talking: That is my favorite movie and I can't.
• 16:11
  I Hate Talking: I have to watch it now.
• 16:13
  I Hate Talking: Yeah, so I think that Waiting for Guffman, which I don't know if I can even recall any details about, and I'm thinking that I may have never seen that.
• 16:22
  I Hate Talking: So maybe we'll have to add that to the watch list or I'll have to do some more research on that to see if I've ever seen that.
• 16:28
  I Hate Talking: Now, I have definitely seen Best in Show, A Mighty Wind, and Spinal Tap, and I think I did enjoy Spinal Tap.
• 16:35
  I Hate Talking: But it's probably because that overlaps a little bit with my own interests and experience.
• 16:42
  I Hate Talking: So, where perhaps some of the situational comedy would be funny to you in Best in Show, as it relates to a prestigious dog show that I don't really have any personal experience with dog shows or people that raise dogs for show, whereas Spinal Tap, because I do like heavy rock music.
• 17:08
  I Hate Talking: And metal and things of that nature that there was actually some things that I did find funny in there because I knew that they were specifically making fun of that genre and culture.
• 17:19
  I Hate Talking: Do you think it's similar to, right now we're binging a righteous gemstone.
• 17:24
  I Hate Talking: I feel like everyone I talked to is super into this right now.
• 17:27
  I Hate Talking: So we got on the bandwagon and it's so funny.
• 17:31
  I Hate Talking: Do you think that's similar to my humor?
• 17:33
  I Hate Talking: Would you enjoy it as much if I wasn't there?
• 17:36
  I Hate Talking: Or because we have a lot of church ties.
• 17:40
  I Hate Talking: Is it similar to you can connect with like, yes, I've worked in so many churches that I can see the comedy in this.
• 17:48
  I Hate Talking: Yeah, I think it's probably more the latter where again, because it overlaps with my personal experience that I will find some of those things funny if I was by myself and Had a show to watch.
• 18:02
  I Hate Talking: I don't think I would even choose to watch that.
• 18:06
  I Hate Talking: So, because it's a common experience with you that.
• 18:10
  I Hate Talking: Because I do find it funny enough, and it's enjoyable thing to do together that we can do that.
• 18:16
  I Hate Talking: But if it was just me, I don't know if I would choose to watch that show.
• 18:20
  I Hate Talking: I'd probably find something else or whatever the case may be.
• 18:23
  I Hate Talking: Oh, well, first, thank you.
• 18:24
  I Hate Talking: That's super sweet.
• 18:26
  I Hate Talking: Uh, it's one of my favorite parts of the day is watching that with you.
• 18:29
  I Hate Talking: And also, should I stop telling everyone to watch it?
• 18:32
  I Hate Talking: Like, anyone that has a conversation with me right now, here's about the righteous gemstones and how they need to turn it on.
• 18:39
  I Hate Talking: Is that not A good thing to say, is it not that great?
• 18:42
  I Hate Talking: I don't know.
• 18:44
  I Hate Talking: I think you probably have to give some warnings as well because it has some explicit content in it as well.
• 18:51
  I Hate Talking: Yeah, it's not a family friendly show.
• 18:54
  I Hate Talking: No, so.
• 18:56
  I Hate Talking: Yeah, I don't know.
• 18:58
  I Hate Talking: I mean, I guess anything that you personally enjoy, you will be.
• 19:02
  I Hate Talking: Prone to share it with others and tell them about it and then it could be a common point of conversation, but I don't have any qualms about recommending things that you don't like that I do like, so I don't think that that's a necessary consideration at the absolute that you must not talk about it just because I would not individually enjoy that particular show.
• 19:28
  I Hate Talking: So, I'll share a quick story, and then I want to hear about your humor because My favorite memories to tell people about you is early on in our marriage, you got your wisdom teeth taken out.
• 19:42
  I Hate Talking: And one of the things that happened, I was very pregnant at the time.
• 19:48
  I Hate Talking: And I was taking you, I was backing out.
• 19:53
  I Hate Talking: I had to stop and get your pain meds.
• 19:55
  I Hate Talking: I left you in the front seat, went and got the pain meds and came back, and I was backing out of the parking spot to go home, and you screamed.
• 20:06
  I Hate Talking: Like I've never heard you scream before.
• 20:08
  I Hate Talking: So I slammed on my brakes naturally, and I'm like, what, what happened?
• 20:11
  I Hate Talking: And I'm like, searching around thinking I hit a person or something.
• 20:14
  I Hate Talking: Just so straight faced, you're like, you just never find me funny.
• 20:20
  I Hate Talking: And it's so funny now I like that that wasn't a joke.
• 20:25
  I Hate Talking: Like you, I thought I ran over a person.
• 20:29
  I Hate Talking: So, and it's just so funny now to think back to be like that came out where you're like, you don't think I'm funny.
• 20:36
  I Hate Talking: That, that wasn't funny.
• 20:37
  I Hate Talking: But I feel like I often don't get your humor initially, but then you explain it and I find it super funny.
• 20:46
  I Hate Talking: But also caveat, I love jokes when people explain it afterwards, like a joke that goes extra long.
• 20:56
  I Hate Talking: Like, people are really, you're over the punch line, you dragged it on too long.
• 21:02
  I Hate Talking: I find it super funny.
• 21:04
  I Hate Talking: So, I think that's part of the funniness is when you have to explain it to me, and I'm like, oh yes, now it's funny.
• 21:10
  I Hate Talking: So, tell me about your sense of humor.
• 21:14
  I Hate Talking: So, two aspects of my humor and then perhaps an observation.
• 21:19
  I Hate Talking: One, I do enjoy a good pun as well, so I think that is where we do have some overlap in our sense of humor that Any of us can tell a pun or fold that into a conversation as sort of a joke and that will be funny to me.
• 21:36
  I Hate Talking: I also think that does harken back to just the content of our podcast that words are important and knowing words and their definition can actually be used in a humorous way if you use them in a way that could be a pun or a play on words and things like that.
• 21:55
  I Hate Talking: So.
• 21:55
  I Hate Talking: I do find humor in those type of things, which I think you do as well, so probably some commonality there.
• 22:02
  I Hate Talking: And then the other aspect of my humor is typically referred to as dry humor or sarcasm and some of those things where I think you do have to have a special sense of humor and I think that does exist to a high degree on my dad's side of the family.
• 22:20
  I Hate Talking: So, the observation on this is that I think people will adapt their humor to who they are interacting with, that perhaps you would tell a joke or use a pun if that will be found funny by the person that you are interacting with and that perhaps you will have a different sense of humor if you are interacting with different people because I think even our kids in terms of how you describe our oldest.
• 22:48
  I Hate Talking: And his sense of humor is perhaps different than my experience.
• 22:51
  I Hate Talking: So I think even at a young age, perhaps he's even adapting his jokes and humor to his audience.
• 22:58
  I Hate Talking: OK.
• 22:59
  I Hate Talking: So he wouldn't send you that meme I was talking about.
• 23:03
  I Hate Talking: Correct.
• 23:05
  I Hate Talking: And in fact, he did not.
• 23:06
  I Hate Talking: What kind of sense of humor do you hate?
• 23:11
  I Hate Talking: So we've already talked about it, I think to some degree is.
• 23:15
  I Hate Talking: Slapstick situational humor that has no relevance to my own lived experience.
• 23:24
  I Hate Talking: Hm.
• 23:24
  I Hate Talking: So it's not relatable to you.
• 23:27
  I Hate Talking: You don't find it funny.
• 23:28
  I Hate Talking: Yeah, it's even not that funny to begin with at all.
• 23:33
  I Hate Talking: So I think the only redeeming factor that that type of comedy has and actually elicits any type of humorous response in me is only when it's something that I can relate to my own personal experience.
• 23:48
  I Hate Talking: How do you feel about America's Funniest Home Videos?
• 23:50
  I Hate Talking: That's what our family's really into right now.
• 23:53
  I Hate Talking: We watch a lot of those.
• 23:54
  I Hate Talking: Well we did watch that quite a bit as a family growing up and.
• 24:00
  I Hate Talking: I remember certain segments of America's Funniest Home videos as more humorous than others.
• 24:08
  I Hate Talking: So I'm trying to remember exactly even the rubric of America's Funniest home videos, but part of the enjoyment I think was because it was a shared experience as a family.
• 24:18
  I Hate Talking: So again, that aspect of a shared experience where everyone is enjoying.
• 24:24
  I Hate Talking: The humor And then there was the montages.
• 24:28
  I Hate Talking: I feel like I enjoyed the montages for some reason more than the other parts of the show.
• 24:33
  I Hate Talking: They went faster, like, was that more maybe it was quick, quick snippets that.
• 24:39
  I Hate Talking: Had some humorous things, whereas in terms of some of the other maybe extended clips you were committing to watching that and then not really certain if it would be humorous or not.
• 24:51
  I Hate Talking: Right.
• 24:51
  I Hate Talking: And you kind of touched on it.
• 24:52
  I Hate Talking: I think that humor often is such a shared experience.
• 24:56
  I Hate Talking: Like, even if something's not necessarily funny, if other people are laughing, it brings so much like lightheartedness and causes you to smile and laugh much more than if you were alone.
• 25:08
  I Hate Talking: You love, I mean, you've talked about before, you love going to like heavy metal concerts, and I enjoy going with you to experience it with you.
• 25:16
  I Hate Talking: But I love going to comedy clubs.
• 25:19
  I Hate Talking: High-end ones and also just like open house ones, I think are great too.
• 25:24
  I Hate Talking: I love a good laugh.
• 25:26
  I Hate Talking: And there's something about being around other people when they're laughing.
• 25:30
  I Hate Talking: I feel like it's hard not to laugh in response.
• 25:34
  I Hate Talking: Perhaps, and that could even be a base difference in our own personalities because perhaps you enjoy and Value, shared experience, perhaps more than myself, because I don't know if I would go to a comedy club by myself per se, but I certainly have been to concerts by myself and have no issue with that.
• 25:55
  I Hate Talking: I feel like the opposite.
• 25:57
  I Hate Talking: I've never been to a concert by myself, nor have I been to a comedy club, but I would go to that probably quicker.
• 26:04
  I Hate Talking: As an individual by yourself instead of a shared experience.
• 26:07
  I Hate Talking: Yeah, so, um, my Christmas gift y'all this year from Adam was, uh, tickets to see Nargetsi.
• 26:16
  I Hate Talking: If you don't know him, he is hilarious and he's really been around forever, but he's really gotten popular lately.
• 26:23
  I Hate Talking: In the future, we will go see him.
• 26:24
  I Hate Talking: We've seen him once before too, a couple of years ago.
• 26:27
  I Hate Talking: And I feel like he's so funny.
• 26:30
  I Hate Talking: And the joke that you think is the most funny that he tells, and I'm like, I feel like I should be offended, because he goes through this whole thing about his wife and how she doesn't understand the time.
• 26:42
  I Hate Talking: He's like, what time do you leave?
• 26:44
  I Hate Talking: She's like, noon.
• 26:45
  I Hate Talking: And it's 11-30.
• 26:47
  I Hate Talking: And he's like You're gonna miss your plane.
• 26:51
  I Hate Talking: And she's like, No, I'm leaving the house at noon.
• 26:54
  I Hate Talking: And he's like, what?
• 26:55
  I Hate Talking: How is that helpful to me?
• 26:57
  I Hate Talking: And I've never seen you laugh harder than that moment.
• 27:01
  I Hate Talking: I was like, I feel like I need to be offended.
• 27:03
  I Hate Talking: You were late to this so much.
• 27:05
  I Hate Talking: But if you ask me what time do I leave for my flight, and I said noon, and what very much makes sense to me, I leave the house at noon, you would get very annoyed.
• 27:15
  I Hate Talking: You'd want to know what time my flight took off.
• 27:17
  I Hate Talking: Yes, so.
• 27:19
  I Hate Talking: And again, that even is showing that I'll find humor in either the preciseness of words where you're using a pun or play on words or in this case the imprecise use of words and how it can result in a humorous situation and because it's relatable and relatable yes, yes, exactly.
• 27:43
  I Hate Talking: One of the other jokes I've laughed more in my life than ever was in high school.
• 27:48
  I Hate Talking: I love buildups with little to no reward.
• 27:55
  I Hate Talking: I think it's so funny.
• 27:56
  I Hate Talking: I guess it's that slapstick or situational jokes, right?
• 27:59
  I Hate Talking: That's why a mighty win doing all that is my favorite.
• 28:03
  I Hate Talking: But my brother and I had this whole thing with our friends in high school about, like, we have this hilarious joke, y'all.
• 28:10
  I Hate Talking: One day will tell you, and they kept begging, and it just got built higher and higher, and more and more people asked.
• 28:17
  I Hate Talking: And we were just like, one day, guys, it's so funny, you don't know.
• 28:21
  I Hate Talking: And then we told them the joke and it was the stupidest basic joke ever, and their faces were so disappointed and frustrated.
• 28:30
  I Hate Talking: And it was hilarious because like.
• 28:33
  I Hate Talking: It was such a high build up with zero reward.
• 28:37
  I Hate Talking: And I feel like that's what I find so much joy in, with the jokes that take forever to tell.
• 28:43
  I Hate Talking: They're not really funny.
• 28:45
  I Hate Talking: I love that buildup.
• 28:46
  I Hate Talking: For nothing.
• 28:48
  I Hate Talking: But you would hate that, right?
• 28:51
  I Hate Talking: Mm, maybe.
• 28:53
  I Hate Talking: But you tell the, OK, tell me about that, because you tell those jokes sometimes on purpose to make me laugh.
• 28:59
  I Hate Talking: So do you do it because I find it so funny, or you find it funny too?
• 29:03
  I Hate Talking: It's got to be a joke, even with a buildup or a lengthy commentary to get to the punchline is OK, but the punch line has to be funny.
• 29:14
  I Hate Talking: So, I don't know if I would have been satisfied with this situation where you're describing you and your brother building up this joke and then the punchline was sort of a letdown.
• 29:23
  I Hate Talking: Now, if the punchline was actually funny, then I would appreciate it.
• 29:28
  I Hate Talking: So, and that has not so much to do with the length and the buildup, but more with the punchline, I think, and the cleverness of the joke that would make me appreciate it.
• 29:38
  I Hate Talking: And going back to Nate Bargetsy, there is one joke that I Do you find humorous, and I think that might be the only one.
• 29:45
  I Hate Talking: What is it?
• 29:47
  I Hate Talking: The one that you already said, because I don't really find Nate Bargetzy all that humorous.
• 29:51
  I Hate Talking: Oh, he's so funny.
• 29:53
  I Hate Talking: Don't listen to him, you guys, he's so good.
• 29:55
  I Hate Talking: And he's clean.
• 29:57
  I Hate Talking: It's so hard to find.
• 29:59
  I Hate Talking: Somebody who tells jokes and doesn't cuss or say, yeah, no bad language or inappropriate conversations.
• 30:08
  I Hate Talking: Like I could put him on for my grandma or my kids to hear.
• 30:13
  I Hate Talking: That's like his whole slogan right now.
• 30:15
  I Hate Talking: He's going around and he's a book that just got out.
• 30:18
  I Hate Talking: I want that book, by the way, you were asking me what audiobooks I want, I want his book.
• 30:23
  I Hate Talking: It's called My Big Demise.
• 30:25
  I Hate Talking: So we'll link that in the description, so y'all can check out too.
• 30:29
  I Hate Talking: But that's his whole thing.
• 30:30
  I Hate Talking: He was like, I want to be the comedian for Grandma's.
• 30:34
  I Hate Talking: And it's ridiculous, right?
• 30:36
  I Hate Talking: Who wants to that?
• 30:37
  I Hate Talking: But he does, and it's true.
• 30:39
  I Hate Talking: I can let my grandma hear him.
• 30:41
  I Hate Talking: Without fear that she'll be offended.
• 30:44
  I Hate Talking: That's true, that is somewhat of a hard thing to find, so.
• 30:49
  I Hate Talking: Who is the guy that went around with Ron White and did the jokes with like, you know, you're a redneck?
• 30:56
  I Hate Talking: Jeff Foxworthy.
• 30:58
  I Hate Talking: I feel like that's sort of the most recent clean comedian.
• 31:03
  I Hate Talking: Obviously not all his stuff is like perfectly clean, but it's clean enough that it's gonna go over people's heads if they don't really know.
• 31:10
  I Hate Talking: So.
• 31:11
  I Hate Talking: I don't know, maybe Navgatsi is the next Jeff Foxworthy.
• 31:15
  I Hate Talking: Yeah, he's getting big, so you heard it here, not first, probably, but you heard it here.
• 31:21
  I Hate Talking: Or maybe first if you don't get out much.
• 31:24
  I Hate Talking: So we usually do jokes at Cub Scouts, which I think is another aspect of humor that fits in with some of these things in terms of puns or clean jokes that have a clever punchline.
• 31:39
  I Hate Talking: So maybe we'll do that at our closing meeting for the 2024, 2025 year.
• 31:46
  I Hate Talking: So perhaps we can end this joke.
• 31:49
  I Hate Talking: With an episode?
• 31:50
  I Hate Talking: See, see, that's an impreciseness of words and it made you laugh, so I was going to correct myself, but I just figured I'd go with it.
• 31:59
  I Hate Talking: You knew that would make me laugh.
• 32:01
  I Hate Talking: Yeah.
• 32:01
  I Hate Talking: So perhaps we can end this episode with a joke and we can see if it would be good enough or clean enough for the Cub Scouts.
• 32:08
  I Hate Talking: OK, let's hear it.
• 32:09
  I Hate Talking: All right, so there was this farmer and he had a pig, and the pig was named Curly.
• 32:17
  I Hate Talking: And one day, the farmer was out with his pig Curly, and there were some local neighbor kids that were swimming in the pond adjacent to his property.
• 32:29
  I Hate Talking: And one of the kids began to get into some trouble and was not able to stay afloat and was actually beginning to sink down to the bottom of the lake.
• 32:41
  I Hate Talking: So the pig, Curly ran and jumped into the lake, swam to the child, grabbed him and pulled him to safety.
• 32:50
  I Hate Talking: And because of that heroic act of Curly the pig, there was a news agency in the town and they came to interview the farmer.
• 33:00
  I Hate Talking: And so the farmer talked to the news person.
• 33:04
  I Hate Talking: And the news person asked, you know, all about the history of Curly and, you know, Curly's mom and Curly's dad, and the farmer told him all about how he had.
• 33:14
  I Hate Talking: Raise Curly from birth and Curly was a really good pig and you could tell because he did this heroic act of saving this boy from drowning and the, the newscaster was very impressed with all this and said that uh it was a newsworthy story and they, they aired that on the nightly news and everything like that and Curly became quite a bit famous from that particular thing.
• 33:40
  I Hate Talking: So then the next year, there was a fire and there was an old grandma in the house that was on fire, and Curly was right there and Curly went into the burning house and was able to find the grandma and lead the grandma to safety.
• 34:02
  I Hate Talking: From the house fire and the grandma was saved.
• 34:06
  I Hate Talking: Now the house obviously burned all the way down to the ground, but the, the grandma was saved and, and Curly was the one responsible for that.
• 34:15
  I Hate Talking: So they had another news anchor come out and the news anchor when he first saw Curly was quite a bit surprised because instead of four legs, like when Curly had saved the drowning boy, Curly only had 3 legs at this time.
• 34:31
  I Hate Talking: And so, The, uh, news anchor was taken aback a little bit by this, but continued the interview and he asked the farmer about if Curly was afraid of fire and the farmer's like, well, no, I mean, obviously he ran into the burning building and saved the grandma, so not really afraid of fire.
• 34:50
  I Hate Talking: And then the news anchor asked if Curly had any problems from smoke inhalation or anything like that.
• 34:56
  I Hate Talking: And the farmer said, no, he's in in perfect health.
• 34:59
  I Hate Talking: He was able to save the grandma and is, you know, back to the farm and everything's good.
• 35:04
  I Hate Talking: So the news anchor thought it was still a little weird that the pig only had 3 legs, but the news anchor went back and aired the nightly news and everything went about their, their business.
• 35:15
  I Hate Talking: And then another thing happened where there was a car accident and the particular driver of the vehicle was trapped inside the car.
• 35:27
  I Hate Talking: So Curly was able to get inside the car through a small opening and unlock the vehicle.
• 35:34
  I Hate Talking: Because it was not one of these modern vehicles that have automatic unlocks during the event of a crash or anything like that.
• 35:40
  I Hate Talking: So, Curly was able to get in there through a small opening, unlock the car, and that allowed the emergency response team to get in and save this person.
• 35:50
  I Hate Talking: So, Then the news anchor made another trip out to interview the farmer and was really, really surprised this time because Curly only had two legs and He was even surprised that Curly would be able to do this heroic act with only two legs.
• 36:07
  I Hate Talking: So, he asked about, you know, what happened with the car crash and the farmer told him that they heard this loud crash and Curly ran, sort of half dragged himself to the car and was able to get into the car and save this person.
• 36:21
  I Hate Talking: And then the news anchor had to ask this time and said to the farmer, Well, I noticed last time during the heroic act that the pig Curly only had 3 legs, versus the 4 legs when I first interviewed you during the heroic act of saving the boy from drowning, that at the time of saving the grandma from the fire, that Curly only had 3 legs.
• 36:45
  I Hate Talking: And now during this miraculous event where he saved the person from this car crash, he only has 2 legs.
• 36:53
  I Hate Talking: Can you tell me why that is?
• 36:55
  I Hate Talking: And the farmer said, when you have a pig, this heroic, you can't eat it all at once.
• 37:01
  I Hate Talking: I love that.
• 37:07
  I Hate Talking: I love when you do those because it's such a buildup.
• 37:11
  I Hate Talking: It's so long.
• 37:12
  I Hate Talking: It's gonna go down and like podcast history for longest joke, and it's so funny.
• 37:19
  I Hate Talking: Oh man.
• 37:22
  I Hate Talking: Well, there you go.
• 37:22
  I Hate Talking: Maybe I'll tell that one to the little Cub Scout girls and boys.
• 37:27
  I Hate Talking: I think you said sometimes you tell jokes like that, and I'm like the only parent in the back and I'm like cracking up.
• 37:34
  I Hate Talking: And I like to think they're like, wow, she really likes that guy.
• 37:37
  I Hate Talking: Indeed.
• 37:39
  I Hate Talking: So, this episode has been a joke.
• 37:42
  I Hate Talking: But hopefully you've enjoyed it.
• 37:45
  I Hate Talking: See, that's my sarcasm.
• 37:46
  I Hate Talking: See, -- and you don't appreciate -- that.
• 37:48
  I Hate Talking: I was like a little chuck.
• 37:50
  I Hate Talking: It was a pity laugh.
• 37:52
  I Hate Talking: So no, that, that curly joke was funnier.
• 37:56
  I Hate Talking: There you go.
• 37:57
  I Hate Talking: So if you have enjoyed this episode, like, share, subscribe, share this joke of an episode with others that you may also find shared humor with and they might enjoy it as well.
• 38:09
  I Hate Talking: Yeah.
• 38:10
  I Hate Talking: I mean, I love laughing and I love jokes because your mouth smiles, and I feel like this has to lighten the mood and raise your spirit.
• 38:19
  I Hate Talking: Precisely.
• 38:20
  I Hate Talking: So, from your friends at I hate Talking, until next time, remember, it is only through talking and jokes that we begin the journey to understanding.
