Unknown Speaker 0:01
So, Alyssa, I had a kind of fear of mine come to fruition.
Unknown Speaker 0:13
So you know how we have those windows by the front door? Oh, yeah. So I was in a meeting, and I usually just go in there, because I usually work, me brain work in the living room, go in there for meetings, and I had the windows open for the cats, and then a fucking like solicitor, like window salesman or something like that roof, I don't know, came up to the door and
Unknown Speaker 0:37
I saw something. So I was stupid, and we made eye contact, and he was like, Oh, hey. It was like, Oh, I'm in a meeting right now, like I'm literally in something. And then
Unknown Speaker 0:49
I and then I muted and then he just kept talking to me while he was like, Oh, is there another time I can come back? I was like, no, like, I'm in a meeting right now, like I'm literally in something that, like I need to pay attention to. And then he was like, Oh, well, I don't know. He kept talking. And then finally, Brandon came to the door and was like, hey, out. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker 1:32
The fucking audacity, right? And, yeah, Brandon was like, You told him that, like, you're in a meeting and you're busy and like, go away. And he just didn't leave. Wow, I'd be like, hey, what fucking company? Because we're never gonna use you, yeah, and I'm gonna go leave bad Google reviews and but, yeah, it was just awful because I was just like, trapped, you know, like, because the windows were open. I was like, fuck, I do something nice for my cats, and then this shit happens. That's infuriating. Yeah, right. I was like, I don't like being caught up like that. Like it was really rude, yeah? And he was like, Oh, it's a woman. I'll just
Unknown Speaker 2:17
keep talking over her and trying to push this on her, we should make a pact to just be total cunts for the rest of time, because who cares? Yeah, and we do have a thing on our door that says no soliciting. And so Brendan's like, I don't give I do not care about being sick to them, because we have no soliciting sign. And I think the sign stall at the end of the neighborhood, but our neighborhood has, like, no soliciting signs too, so
Unknown Speaker 2:46
fuck them, you know, yeah, what our fucking fat heads? Yes. We love you guys. Thank you for tuning into
Unknown Speaker 2:56
Welcome to nervous laughter podcast. Yeah, thank you for tuning in. We're just in a meeting. I don't know. Can you guys come back on another time?
Unknown Speaker 3:05
I'm Jamie, I'm Alyssa, and this is nervous,
Unknown Speaker 3:11
yep, nervous laughter podcast again. And today we have kind of a jumble of things. I guess you can kind of say things that start with T, oh yeah, we're gonna do the same as the letter T, or, yeah, brought to you by the letter T. I'm gonna talk a little Thomas the Train. Oh, just
Unknown Speaker 3:35
like TT, triple T, baby. I just was about to not say the train, like everyone knows, like, what Thomas I'm referring
Unknown Speaker 3:44
and then Alyssa is gonna have some thrifty things later.
Unknown Speaker 3:49
So to kick it off with Thomas.
Unknown Speaker 3:53
So to kick it off with Thomas, latrine, triple T, yeah, triple T, man.
Unknown Speaker 4:02
So I don't know if you know this, but they call the conductor the fat conductor,
Unknown Speaker 4:10
headed conductor. Yeah, perfect for the show, um,
Unknown Speaker 4:15
but, but, yeah. So I had watched just some Thomas stuff because my nephew is of that age, and so yeah, I was on Yeah. And I was just like, What the fuck they call him that conductor. And then
Unknown Speaker 4:29
one of the episode we watched was just like, really messed up. So I'm just gonna talk about some of the
Unknown Speaker 4:36
I guess it's like darker stuff. It's not even like cringy. It's just like dark,
Unknown Speaker 4:41
quick question, do you happen to know when Thomas the Train originated? I don't, because I feel like I remember it as a kid, but maybe not. I mean, I know it's had, like, a bunch of different iterations,
Unknown Speaker 4:58
but the said.
Unknown Speaker 5:00
Was January 29 1989 oh, okay, yeah, and that's in the UK. I don't know if it released a little later in the US, but,
Unknown Speaker 5:10
but yeah, oh no, the
Unknown Speaker 5:14
Oh 84 in England, and 89 and us, okay, but whatever. So you know, late 80s. I've been with the fat conductor all my life.
Unknown Speaker 5:24
Go way back.
Unknown Speaker 5:27
So one is, it's called the sad story of Henry, but released as come out Henry in the US, and that'll make a difference when we get to the end.
Unknown Speaker 5:41
So basically, Henry didn't want to leave a tunnel while it was raining, saying it would ruin his paint. And the guard kept telling Henry to
Unknown Speaker 5:51
to leave. And you know he was like,
Unknown Speaker 5:56
then another train car came along, which had the Fat Controller. His name's Sir Topham Hatt, by the way, Sir Tom button hat top top him. Top him, T, O, P, P, A, it definitely sounds British or English or whatever. I don't know the difference. Topham um, so yeah, Fat Controller.
Unknown Speaker 6:19
So yeah, he shows up, and he demanded that Henry be pulled out by all of the staff and passengers, and he said that he could not help pull because his doctor had forbidden him to push. Or Yeah, he couldn't help push Yeah, his train doctor, yeah,
Unknown Speaker 6:40
because he had a Oh, because he had bone spurs, so he couldn't what? So the train has bones. No, no. Sorry, the Fat Controller has bone spurs, so he can't help. Oh, is he a person? Yeah, yeah. The Fat Controller is a person, yeah. He just bosses all the trains around. And he was a train too. For some reason I'm like, the trains are made of bone. Oh, God, that would be, I feel like I've seen a picture. I was gonna say, I think I showed you this
Unknown Speaker 7:11
inside of the train
Unknown Speaker 7:13
on Instagram. It's like, Thomas's face, and then it shows, like, what the inside of the train would look like. And it's a human body. It's fucking terrifying, kind of in, like, downward or not? Downward Dog, yeah, downward dog. Position, face down, ass, up.
Unknown Speaker 7:31
So, so yeah,
Unknown Speaker 7:33
back controller was all like, No, my doctor says I have bone spurs, so I can't help, you know, pull or push the train out so all of the passengers and staff have to do it.
Unknown Speaker 7:45
Isn't that what Donald Trump said he had to get out of the military.
Unknown Speaker 7:52
We should call him the Fat
Unknown Speaker 7:56
Controller.
Unknown Speaker 8:00
It okay, it stopped raining, but Henry still refused to leave. In fear of it ringing again.
Unknown Speaker 8:06
Thomas came up behind him and tried to, you know, give him a little push out, but it failed.
Unknown Speaker 8:15
Then they took out all the rails from in front of him and built a brick wall in front of him so he couldn't leave,
Unknown Speaker 8:25
yep, so he could only just stay in the tunnel. So he's in prison. Train prison. Yeah, pretty much they just imprisoned him. Where he
Unknown Speaker 8:35
why? I guess
Unknown Speaker 8:39
so, yeah, he's walled up, and there's, like, a little
Unknown Speaker 8:43
it's not completely bricked up. It's like he can peek out, like he can just like, so he can somehow work well, like, it's even worse, because Edward and Gordon would pass by often, Edward would not was would be nice and say hello to him, but Gordon was just a dick, and would say, Serves you right. What?
Unknown Speaker 9:05
Damn. So pretty savage.
Unknown Speaker 9:10
So Henry's fire had gone out. Oh, is he gonna die so? Well, I don't know if he, like can die, but he has no steam to reply to them and stuff, so I
Unknown Speaker 9:23
don't know if he's dying.
Unknown Speaker 9:27
And then the episode says, and this is the UK version. The episode ends with saying, but I think he deserved his punishment, don't you? That's creepy as fuck. Yeah, right. Like,
Unknown Speaker 9:42
very, like, terrifying to children, I would think,
Unknown Speaker 9:48
Yeah, listen to your parents, or you'll be put in a fucking brick tunnel, you little shit. I mean, I guess if you don't follow the rules, you go to prison, yeah, or you pay a lot of money in most.
Unknown Speaker 10:00
Of us aren't rich, true, so you have to prepare laws are only freely or either follow the laws be rich or hang out in prison.
Unknown Speaker 10:10
Great world we live in.
Unknown Speaker 10:12
Really fun.
Unknown Speaker 10:15
We go. I don't know why. That just makes me think
Unknown Speaker 10:21
of that song. So the US version was tweaked to be
Unknown Speaker 10:26
they were building a wall until he was ready to come out.
Unknown Speaker 10:31
The wall was just for safety so other engines wouldn't bump into him. So thought it was going to be darker. Yeah, they shot him. They assassinated him.
Unknown Speaker 10:44
Yeah, they're gonna detain them,
Unknown Speaker 10:48
yeah, send them back to the UK,
Unknown Speaker 10:57
and
Unknown Speaker 10:59
I go, I put Gordon still says, serve. Oh yeah. Gordon still says, serves you, right, which just didn't really make sense to me, because they were like, oh, we'll protect you. Oh yeah, protect you, make you safe.
Unknown Speaker 11:12
And they changed the closing question from,
Unknown Speaker 11:16
you deserved it, yeah, he deserved it, to,
Unknown Speaker 11:20
how long do you think Henry will stay in the tunnel before he overcomes his fear of the rain and decides to journey out again?
Unknown Speaker 11:28
So funny, he's like, he's not staying in here. He's not staying
Unknown Speaker 11:34
so which one did you see with your nephew? The UK one, the dark one, yeah, yeah, it was, you looked it up, yeah. And I was like, oh shit, there's a I have a couple more episodes too. I think I just have the
Unknown Speaker 11:50
UK versions of it, though, nice.
Unknown Speaker 11:54
So there's another one. Turns out Henry is not the only train who was walled up and Thomas the Train
Unknown Speaker 12:05
never to move again. There is a train called smudger, which was a quote show off, unquote. He rode roughly and derailed often.
Unknown Speaker 12:18
Well, he was walled up in a shed and was used as a generator from then on,
Unknown Speaker 12:25
it's creepy, yeah,
Unknown Speaker 12:29
you will give your life to supply the trains. Yeah? This, uh, I don't know. I just feel like saying, My body, my choice,
Unknown Speaker 12:39
justice for smudger, yeah,
Unknown Speaker 12:44
I mean, that's God, it's just so fucked,
Unknown Speaker 12:48
yeah? Like, Oh, you want to, you want to fiddle, fuck around. Okay, we're gonna prison, yeah, prison used as a generator. Like, I mean, Henry had it bad enough, just like being walled up and being able to see everyone you know,
Unknown Speaker 13:04
drive by while his flight dies out, but it's man being just like used as a fucking,
Unknown Speaker 13:13
you know, piece of equipment.
Unknown Speaker 13:19
So, yeah, that was one episode. Sorry, I don't have the name of that one,
Unknown Speaker 13:24
but they were not the only train closed up for life. Oh, no. Why are there all these train prisons?
Unknown Speaker 13:34
There was an old tank engine named Duke, also called Grand puff by the other engines.
Unknown Speaker 13:41
Oh, grand puff. I feel like I'm gonna be sad, yeah, it's sad,
Unknown Speaker 13:47
but then it kind of gets a little happy. Okay, so the railway came upon hard times. They closed the mines and started selling off the engines. A lot of younger engines were being bought, but dudes never got sold because he was just, you know, an old guy.
Unknown Speaker 14:06
He was then covered up with tarps and closed up in a shed while the people had to go find new jobs and move on with their life. Oh no. Over time, the shed was overcome with dirt and bushes, etc.
Unknown Speaker 14:21
He was eventually rescued one day and taken to a new home with his original owners. So that was, like, a happy ending, but nice. I don't think I got, like, how long it was he was locked up.
Unknown Speaker 14:34
Like, okay, I'll just die for like, 10 years.
Unknown Speaker 14:40
Um, so, yeah, that's just some, I guess some of the darker side of Thomas the Train.
Unknown Speaker 14:48
It makes me want to watch some. Like, yeah, were you watching the ones that were kind of, I don't know if it's like, claymation, but kind of, yeah, yeah. They have that. Like, you can tell it's a set kind of thing. Yeah, yeah.
Unknown Speaker 15:00
Yeah, those are cool. The, like, CGI one, or whatever. I'm like, this looks like, it sucks. Yeah, I haven't seen that one. I don't know how, like, much newer it is from the old one, but I feel like that one's gonna be, you know, like, happy ties, oh yeah. Like, there's not gonna be, like, anything related to these depressing,
Unknown Speaker 15:23
dark episodes.
Unknown Speaker 15:26
So, yeah, you know, even you can find darkness in the light. It's very true,
Unknown Speaker 15:33
even a Sailor Moon like, you know, it came out, I guess, like in the early 90s, late 80s. And I was watching an episode with my niece A while back, and it was one where, like,
Unknown Speaker 15:45
everybody was saying that she was fat, basically, even, like her parents and teachers. And I paused it, and I was like, Okay, this was made a long time ago. So, like, she's a growing girl. She needs to eat, especially to fight crime. So, like, we understand that this is bad, right? And she was like, yeah, like,
Unknown Speaker 16:09
cool. I was like, what the Sailor Moon. I mean, like, 90s diet culture got everyone, I guess even her, yeah, yeah. Like, I yeah, I remember, I don't know if this was, like, in the episode you were talking about, but I know there was even one part where Luna is like, talking to her about her weight or whatever, because she's like, You have to stay in shape to fight crime, and she's eating ice cream, and she's like, well, it's okay because it's organic.
Unknown Speaker 16:37
And I think I remember too from
Unknown Speaker 16:42
so there was the old like us, Sailor moons that had the, the
Unknown Speaker 16:48
those, the things at the end or between sailor says, yeah, yeah, that would be like, This is what you learned from this episode, or whatever. I think they had something for one of those that was like,
Unknown Speaker 17:01
it's okay to, like, you know, care about your weight and stuff, but you have to be, it's important to be smart about it. Blah, blah, blah, but, but, yeah, that makes it a little better. I guess. If only those were the ones available on like, Hulu. And, yeah, I was watching a Hulu. Yeah, I think it's by like, DCI, oh, or something i whatever I get anyway,
Unknown Speaker 17:27
speaking of old
Unknown Speaker 17:29
things, old things, Jamie, the Thrift gods have blessed me
Unknown Speaker 17:36
so much recently, I am so excited and happy for you. Thank you.
Unknown Speaker 17:42
Yeah, I kind of don't have a life other than like, my plants and the thrift store, but I'm okay. It's a good life. It's a good life. So this is something that I've shown you before, but I got the full version of it. Okay.
Unknown Speaker 18:00
Oh, Don't Wake Daddy, yay. But it's full, yes, so it's missing a couple cards. And like, I don't, I mean, we don't need to play it, because it's just like pressing a button and us screaming, though, I actually,
Unknown Speaker 18:15
I do want to try this one, because I didn't realize he comes with a hat, and I have the hat in here, so when he wakes up, the hat flies off. And I haven't tried it yet, because I was like, It's so scary, I'll wait till the podcast. But there is a thing on the back of the box that I thought was funny and weird,
Unknown Speaker 18:38
so I'm gonna read that.
Unknown Speaker 18:42
So this is by a lady
Unknown Speaker 18:46
named Dr Sylvia rim, and she's a child psychologist, sorry, and she's weird. Made this well, she's commenting on Don't Wake Daddy. Oh, okay, okay, yeah, she's putting her, like, expert stamp of approval on the game. Doctor approved, which is funny, because this game would make me anxious as fuck yeah, I was gonna say that we should get all of our like, most anxious friends and play. Oh my God, that's a really good idea.
Unknown Speaker 19:19
Oh man, we'll be able to cheat and like have a drink. That'll make it easier.
Unknown Speaker 19:26
So child development specialists have long understood the value of play in a child's ability to learn playing games. Children learn social skills like sharing, taking turns, winning and losing.
Unknown Speaker 19:39
They learn important cognitive skills like color matching, counting
Unknown Speaker 19:43
and Word and number recognition, but the best learning of all happens when you play with your child, because learning together creates lasting memories Don't Wake Daddy teaches counting with colors
Unknown Speaker 19:57
through a romp around the house in the.
Unknown Speaker 20:00
Of the night, expect lots of laughter as Daddy pops up to the alarm, may your child's waking hours be filled with fun. I'm like, I feel like this game is gonna, like, make people have worse anxiety, and then they'll need to go to this child psychologist. So I just thought that was kind of funny. Oh, maybe that's her strategy. Yeah. She's like, it's like an inside job. It's like, line them up. Boy, line them up. Terrorize them. Yeah. And I was just waiting for her to say, it's a great way for children to learn to shut the fuck up and not shut up, not wake up. I'm sleeping. I had a hard day, you little shithead.
Unknown Speaker 20:39
Yeah, I'll just show you real quick. Like, here's the game. You put daddy in the middle here, and then you there's a little spinner that I dropped on the floor. I don't need it,
Unknown Speaker 20:52
yeah. And then you just go around and it
Unknown Speaker 20:55
and it goes,
Unknown Speaker 20:56
you push whatever you land on. I don't know, I printed the directions online, but I haven't read them. But
Unknown Speaker 21:05
would you like to be the one that pushes daddy, or do you want me to you push them? Okay, seen here in anticipation. I'm scared. I'm excited for his hat to fly off, though
Unknown Speaker 21:17
I pressed it a couple times by myself, but I was like, No, I'm just gonna wait, like, popping a balloon. Okay, oh, why did my back just quiver?
Unknown Speaker 21:29
So you have to click it however many times until it just Yeah.
Unknown Speaker 21:37
So scared. What is it just?
Unknown Speaker 21:43
Why does this sound so loud? Oh, my God, my heart is racing. I was just saying, What if it's just broken? I was kind of thinking that too, because, yeah, like I said, I pushed it some before, but kind of take a picture of how his hat landed. So hat action confirmed, the hat does fly off, and it is quite cute after you after the scare wears off,
Unknown Speaker 22:10
it is cute
Unknown Speaker 22:11
like that. We both discuss.
Unknown Speaker 22:15
Every time I do it, I'm like, I'm not going to be scared because, you know, I have the other daddy in bed at home without the game.
Unknown Speaker 22:25
Oh yeah.
Unknown Speaker 22:27
So yeah. Like, there's been a couple times after we recorded the original Daddy that I would just like press the button just to be Yeah, every time it scares the shit out of me. So,
Unknown Speaker 22:41
yeah, yeah. Like, who thinks like that, or like, Jack in the boxes? Like, I don't
Unknown Speaker 22:46
know.
Unknown Speaker 22:48
Yeah, fucking weird.
Unknown Speaker 22:52
But yeah, that was super exciting. I'm like, Man savers by me has daddy's galore. Yeah, man, yeah, I am that was enthralling.
Unknown Speaker 23:05
So I found another game that is weird as fuck.
Unknown Speaker 23:12
It's called The Man game, may the best man win.
Unknown Speaker 23:18
So it says Warning women can play, but they better not win.
Unknown Speaker 23:25
Little sassies.
Unknown Speaker 23:28
There's like little sassy men on the side. Oh, old man, ageist, too. Oh,
Unknown Speaker 23:36
so let's see. What does the warning thing say on the front that's the women can play, but they can't win. Yeah, so
Unknown Speaker 23:47
it says that it is
Unknown Speaker 23:51
a game of chip pitching, not tying, football, flicking, head scratching,
Unknown Speaker 23:59
chest thumping, man fun. Playing is as easy as opening the box and drawing a card, because Real men don't read instructions.
Unknown Speaker 24:10
But I'm gonna, I'm gonna show you all the shit in this box, and you can tell me if you think you don't need instructions. Okay? And it actually comes with instructions too, like for the idiots, for the women, you know, yeah, it's called the playbook instructions. So you have this that you fold into a little paper football.
Unknown Speaker 24:30
You have the Target box where you make it in here. Okay, you have poker chips, you have a deck of cards. You have a golf ball, dice, a scorecard, a rubber band, maybe something that I don't know what that is. And this is all new too. Like, I unwrapped it earlier today, okay, the person probably would have opened it and was like, Well, this is too much. What is the road? It was like, wrapped up.
Unknown Speaker 25:00
Up.
Unknown Speaker 25:01
I was the first one to open. Sorry, what? No, like, what is the rope even for? Like, we'll get to that. Okay, okay, so I didn't read the directions because I was, like, it said I didn't need to. And it drives me crazy that they wouldn't just give you a paper football or small plastic thing. Yeah, football. Like, you have to do it yourself. Oh, we also have a ruler, a score keeper thing and a knockout card, which I don't know what that is, a knockout card, so it's probably a man yelling at us right now
Unknown Speaker 25:37
or whatever. Yeah, but it's weird, like it doesn't come with a board or anything. And I'm like, this is there's a lot of shit in this.
Unknown Speaker 25:46
So I have some cards for us to read that are just stupid. But there's some quotes, like on the box and on the playbook, I thought were funny.
Unknown Speaker 25:59
On the bottom,
Unknown Speaker 26:02
the first thing you read like the description, it did make being a man sound shitty and awful.
Unknown Speaker 26:10
Hopefully it is, except for the men that listen, because,
Unknown Speaker 26:14
yeah, y'all are you're different.
Unknown Speaker 26:18
You're not like other guys. Yeah. How? Uh,
Unknown Speaker 26:22
how does a man show he's planning for the future? He buys two cases of beer instead of one? Oh,
Unknown Speaker 26:31
a man will pay $2 for a $1 item he needs. A woman will pay $1 for a $2 item she doesn't need.
Unknown Speaker 26:40
All right. She Oh, this is my favorite man rule number 13, don't underestimate your fertility.
Unknown Speaker 27:00
Oh, no, I dropped
Unknown Speaker 27:03
the man spirits have spoken that they hate me.
Unknown Speaker 27:09
So Jamie, I just dropped the cards, but I did have them in order, but that's okay. We
Unknown Speaker 27:19
can just have a new adventure. Yes. So I have a couple questions that I think you'll know the answer to. Then we have some weird activities like, oh, sorry, I'm just like paranormal activities
Unknown Speaker 27:35
that would be cooler. We want answers. So you were asking about the rope. Yes, something for you to
Unknown Speaker 27:45
oh, do I have to tie a knot? Yes. Oh, really, so activity, grab the rope and all. Let me back up a little bit. All these have, like, little poker chips in the corner. Oh, so, like, I don't know if you're betting poker chips, or if you do it, if you get one, honestly, I don't care. I'm gonna put this on Facebook marketplace.
Unknown Speaker 28:06
So, yeah,
Unknown Speaker 28:08
so, oh, better cover it so you don't cheat. Oh, the answer's on the back. Don't cheat. Grab the rope in 10 seconds or less using the Oh, okay. You can use the back, using the illustration on the back of this card, tie a figure eight knot.
Unknown Speaker 28:26
Would you like to try? Sure, okay, there's a little guide for you. Okay, I'm gonna count down, because it says 10 seconds. Okay, okay, okay, sorry. I feel like I have my face in the mic, but I'm gonna look down for a second. Okay? One, Mississippi, two, Mississippi,
Unknown Speaker 28:47
three, Mississippi. This is taking longer than I thought. All right, I guess it's done.
Unknown Speaker 28:55
Great job.
Unknown Speaker 28:57
Well, I can do anything a man can do, apparently.
Unknown Speaker 29:02
So something you should know,
Unknown Speaker 29:05
whenever I was in middle school, in Career Discovery, we had to do a
Unknown Speaker 29:11
like a lot, like teach a small lesson. Oh, and I did tying like a special
Unknown Speaker 29:20
knot. That's cool. So yeah, that's, uh, you know, kind of, I should have told you that before. You know, you're messing with a professional so, you know. So I felt awkward counting. So I was just like, Oh, stop counting. Oh, no, no, I think you stopped, like, right when I was like, finishing. Anyway, not, not to brag, but you know? Well, then you did it in three seconds, and you know what? It looks great. Thank you. Thank you. You're welcome, and thank you for saying that was cool, because I felt really embarrassed about that for a long time. I was like, I told everyone how to tie this special knot. No not tying. That's like a life skill. That's true, like if.
Unknown Speaker 30:00
Were in a survival situation then, like, knowing how to tie a badass, not like, important, I watch a lot of Naked and Afraid, so I need to start watching that. It sounds like, yeah, highly recommend the team ones aren't as good, but yeah.
Unknown Speaker 30:19
So there's some of these that are like asking you to define pop culture shit. So
Unknown Speaker 30:27
what is the meaning of the statement, you straight killed it,
Unknown Speaker 30:32
like you did good, yeah,
Unknown Speaker 30:37
you straight killed it, man. The answer is, You excelled at that task,
Unknown Speaker 30:44
Brother,
Unknown Speaker 30:47
no one even says that kind of stuff anymore. Well, no, I guess people kind of, I mean, not straight, killed it, but like, yeah, you killed it, yeah.
Unknown Speaker 30:57
Okay, this one might be a little stressful,
Unknown Speaker 31:02
if the light beer that you're drinking has 15 grams of carbohydrate
Unknown Speaker 31:10
and the plate of wings you ate just has 70 grams of fat and 55 grams of protein, how many calories Have you ingested? I actually know this one because I've had an eating disorder for all my life. So I can tell you,
Unknown Speaker 31:27
wouldn't you just add the beer calories to the chicken calories?
Unknown Speaker 31:34
Well, it's like 15 grams of carbohydrates and 70 grams of fat and like carbohydrates, fat and protein all have different amounts of calories, so you would have to have that knowledge. So I think stress about eating.
Unknown Speaker 31:53
I think that each gram of carbohydrate, it either has nine calories or four calories. I can't remember. Actually,
Unknown Speaker 32:05
maybe, maybe my eating disorder is not coming through like I thought it would, but
Unknown Speaker 32:12
I think fat has nine grams
Unknown Speaker 32:16
or nine calories per gram of fat,
Unknown Speaker 32:20
and carbs have four. So
Unknown Speaker 32:24
let's see.
Unknown Speaker 32:26
Okay, here we go,
Unknown Speaker 32:29
910 calories, because a gram of fat
Unknown Speaker 32:33
contains nine calories. So nine times 70 is 630
Unknown Speaker 32:39
gram of protein has four and carbs have four. So you multiply
Unknown Speaker 32:46
70 grams times four and 55
Unknown Speaker 32:50
okay, so I would not have gotten that. I do not know how many calories are in any of that. And my guess is this is for, like, bodybuilder bros that like, track them. Yeah,
Unknown Speaker 33:03
that's just bodybuilders. And like
Unknown Speaker 33:07
most women, I guess, yeah,
Unknown Speaker 33:11
I feel like I made that one kind of sad. I didn't mean to.
Unknown Speaker 33:15
It's fine. I just, I, I always just look at Cal like, the calories on labels. I never,
Unknown Speaker 33:23
yeah, I never just like, be like, protein. This is how much is in protein. I just like, on the back, yeah, I feel like, normal people don't have to do that math.
Unknown Speaker 33:33
So here's a they have some tech savvy questions. Oh, no, I'm on the spot. What does the acronym JPEG stand for?
Unknown Speaker 33:45
Do I look like I know,
Unknown Speaker 33:50
perfect
Unknown Speaker 33:56
use of that King of the Hill, by the way. Um, I, don't, I don't, I don't something picture, something generated this sounds fucking made up. What the answer is? Joint Photographic Experts Group like, what? What is the Wow, okay, that does not sound like a picture format to me. That sounds like an organization of people, okay, yeah, it doesn't make sense. Yeah, no, let's just stick with JPEG.
Unknown Speaker 34:30
This is another like, what is the meaning one?
Unknown Speaker 34:34
What is the meaning of the statement? I like a woman with a little junk in her trunk. Oh, she got a booty and she's like the booty tooch.
Unknown Speaker 34:44
I prefer a woman with a disproportionately large gluteus maximus in relation to the rest of her body.
Unknown Speaker 34:52
This game is weird. Really weird. I love a disproportional woman.
Unknown Speaker 34:58
So like in between.
Unknown Speaker 35:00
Answering these questions, you're like tying knots and then, like flicking a paper football into shit, and I guess just getting a chip, if you do it or answer, oh, okay, I see it says, collect 30
Unknown Speaker 35:17
chips, or, you know, a 30 chip from each player, incorrect, you pay 30 to each player. Oh, so I guess it's like shitty poker. Yeah,
Unknown Speaker 35:32
man manlier poker. I guess
Unknown Speaker 35:39
if people of the opposite sex become more attractive as the night progresses. What might you be wearing
Unknown Speaker 35:47
as a man? What would I be wearing if things were getting sexy so well, this could be a man or woman. If you see somebody at the beginning of the night and you're like, meh, they don't look that good. But as you keep drinking, you're like, pretty good. Oh, okay. And what are you it's asking what you're wearing, yeah.
Unknown Speaker 36:07
Oh, like, what the person you're envisioning them wearing? Sorry, I don't know why this is such a hard question for me. I'm just like, What are you wearing to the bar? It's phrased weird. The answer is, beer goggles. Oh, yeah. Oh, okay, it's fucking stupid. I was like, jeans and a T shirt, like it literally, yeah, but totally makes Okay, gotcha All right.
Unknown Speaker 36:34
I'll pick, I'll pick a couple more. These are fucking stupid.
Unknown Speaker 36:38
What is the meaning of the statement I'm down with rolling in your hoopty.
Unknown Speaker 36:49
Sounds like I'm down to fuck, but I've never heard like hoopty like what? It's a It's agreeable to me to ride in your car. Hoop tea is a car. Oh, okay.
Unknown Speaker 37:09
I mean,
Unknown Speaker 37:13
it makes sense in the context of the game,
Unknown Speaker 37:21
hoopty. Hoop.
Unknown Speaker 37:24
Is that? What? That hoopty hoop
Unknown Speaker 37:27
word? What
Unknown Speaker 37:29
it has the word that I should not say as the white person, so it says a weird pause. It's like hoopty hoop. What?
Unknown Speaker 37:38
I think it's a Snoop Dogg song. Sorry, it's, gotcha, if I it just doesn't flow, right? So
Unknown Speaker 37:44
no, I'm like, I feel like a loser that I don't know the song you're talking about.
Unknown Speaker 37:50
So this is a face off. We don't actually need to do this because there's only two of us, but there's a couple of these that are kind of similar. One of them, you sit across from another player and don't crack a smile for one minute. All other players do whatever they can to make someone laugh.
Unknown Speaker 38:11
You imagine a bunch of grown men like that would just be really awkward. And then there's another one where you have to, like,
Unknown Speaker 38:21
make a rude noise from your childhood, and all players have to judge and figure out who did the best one. So I guess like fart noises or something. Yeah, I don't know what else like a rude noise,
Unknown Speaker 38:36
such a specifically weird it is this one I thought we could do. Each player takes a turn at making your best gun noise from childhood. Okay? Just like, I guess, how a kid would make a gun? Yeah? How when you were a kid, if you remember how you made a gun? Noise? Like, That's so random. I was just like, pew,
Unknown Speaker 39:02
yeah, I don't know what else you would say other than Pew, pew or just yell, you know, bang, but I'm not gonna do that right now. We've already had daddy, yeah, that was too much.
Unknown Speaker 39:15
So I have
Unknown Speaker 39:17
one more
Unknown Speaker 39:19
tech savvy one for you.
Unknown Speaker 39:22
How many megabytes are in a gigabyte?
Unknown Speaker 39:28
I don't remember. I should know this. This is embarrassing. I didn't mean to embarrass you.
Unknown Speaker 39:34
It's all increments of, like a hundreds or something. Yeah, there is even, there's even, like a an acronym thing that you can use that's like a king George, something, something, so you can, like, count it out. But I'm just like, blanking on everything right now. So I'm sorry. Please don't judge me. Sorry.
Unknown Speaker 39:54
The standard definition is 1000 but memory manufacturers definition.
Unknown Speaker 40:00
Is 1024
Unknown Speaker 40:03
there's just like,
Unknown Speaker 40:06
that's like, technically, how much it has, but it's just like, ground down for simplicity, yeah, at least to my knowledge,
Unknown Speaker 40:15
come at me people, I guess if you want to, I don't. I honestly just, I don't care, I I can give you one more tech question to try to redeem. Oh, no, okay, if it's battle, just cut it.
Unknown Speaker 40:30
What does the acronym PDF stand for
Unknown Speaker 40:34
this one? Also, I'm like, what something? Document? Format? Yes, okay, portable document. Yeah, okay, okay, okay, yeah, see, oh, redeem. That's not what they teach you on college. But yeah, now take this little football and kick it into a box for some reason,
Unknown Speaker 40:53
goal,
Unknown Speaker 40:55
but yeah, that was the man game.
Unknown Speaker 40:59
Interesting thrift find. I'm glad I didn't have to play it with a man, because if I, like, couldn't answer, oh my god, gigabyte question or whatever on the spot, they would have been like, Oh Fuck you bitch. Oh so stupid. Yeah, you're so fake, and it's like, you're such a poser.
Unknown Speaker 41:22
Yeah? The men we play with wouldn't say that, but they would probably mansplain, yeah. I mean, I'm sorry, but it's inevitable. I feel like some men I worked with in the past would have definitely been on top of it. That's been like, oh, fuck you. Oh, stupid. Whatever.
Unknown Speaker 41:42
Anyway, er, get back on to the happy the happy path. I'll show you a picture of this man on the box. Does that make you happy? Oh, yeah, he looks like he wants to shake my hand. So that's nice.
Unknown Speaker 41:56
Yeah, the card on the back that drew me in that I didn't see in the stack, granted. I flipped through really fast. It says, according to a recent survey, what is the first thing men say they notice about a woman, and it's her eyes, her breasts, her rear or her legs? It says the answer is, her eyes. But
Unknown Speaker 42:21
I doubt they noticed ice, like, her charming personality. Maybe they just said ass with an accent.
Unknown Speaker 42:32
Yeah?
Unknown Speaker 42:34
Like, yeah. No, I've I don't know. I don't believe that.
Unknown Speaker 42:39
I feel like this game is all over the place because it like
Unknown Speaker 42:44
it's appealing to like or trying to appeal to like macho gym bros, like tech guys, sports guys, yeah, but, but then, like, the definitions to the different like pop culture slang or whatever, I feel like they're answered and like,
Unknown Speaker 43:04
like, some really formal language for some reason. Oh, yeah, yeah. Like, the like, what does this mean? And it was like, You did excellent.
Unknown Speaker 43:14
I guess it's to appeal to every type of man. Do you have any other thrifty fines for us today.
Unknown Speaker 43:23
Okay, well, I did find something else that I got at a garage sale. It's a set of these little hardback Barbie books. Oh, and she's in a wheelchair. That's so exciting. Yeah, so this is Becky
Unknown Speaker 43:38
early on in the podcast I did a little thing about, like, the cringe side of Barbie, which definitely exists, even though they've made more positive changes. Yeah, and Becky, she couldn't fit into any of the doll houses because they weren't ADA compliant. Oh, gotcha, yeah. So I was pretty worried when I saw this book, because I didn't know how it would go. I didn't know if this was going to be like shitty old Barbie or like new modern Barbie.
Unknown Speaker 44:17
Actually, don't see what year this came out, I should have looked that up. Oh, but it looks like early 2000s ish, yeah, they're in good shape. But the when I
Unknown Speaker 44:31
first
Unknown Speaker 44:34
flipped through the book,
Unknown Speaker 44:37
I saw this quote.
Unknown Speaker 44:42
This is what makes made me worry when I first looked through the book I
Unknown Speaker 44:46
don't know about. Oh, well, a little backstory, I guess. So, Skipper and her friends decide they want to become cheerleaders. And Barbie, who is Skipper's sister, is like, Hey, I know a girl.
Unknown Speaker 45:00
And so she brings Becky to, like, coach them. So one of the cheerleaders says, I don't know about Becky. She says, we'll be able to get the pyramid right with practice, but it seems impossible. How would she know, sitting in a wheelchair.
Unknown Speaker 45:16
So when I read that, I was like, Oh my God, this book is gonna be like, really fucked up, but it's actually really sweet. So what ends up happening is
Unknown Speaker 45:28
Becky talks to the girl, and she admits, because she's at the top of the pyramid, she admits that she's scared of falling. So she kind of projected on Becky being like, wheelchair lady doesn't know anything really. Yeah, she was being a fucking puss.
Unknown Speaker 45:46
She was
Unknown Speaker 45:50
being
Unknown Speaker 45:52
hoopty ass bitch.
Unknown Speaker 45:56
So hoopty hoop bitch, what? Yeah, so it was really nice. It kind of made me, like, shed a little tear, almost. I was like, this is very wholesome.
Unknown Speaker 46:07
The one thing that I
Unknown Speaker 46:09
marked in here, like they're trying to come up with a name for their cheer team,
Unknown Speaker 46:15
and someone suggests the glitter bells. And I'm like, What the fuck does that mean? Like, there's no context.
Unknown Speaker 46:25
They must have edited it out and then just forgot
Unknown Speaker 46:29
the glitter bells. I don't know, Courtney, it makes us sound like a bunch of overgrown Christmas ornaments.
Unknown Speaker 46:36
Oh, who said that? Becky. Oh, Skipper. Becky, whatever. They're all the same, yeah. Oh Barbie.
Unknown Speaker 46:44
But yeah, I've only looked through this one, so I probably have like, 10 to 15 of these. So I'm like, there's definitely gonna be some, some cringes, yeah, for sure. So yeah, we'll have to look at some of, like, the old cartoons and stuff. Oh, man, stuff for sure,
Unknown Speaker 47:04
Nightmare things back then.
Unknown Speaker 47:07
Well, thank you for joining us.
Unknown Speaker 47:11
I hope that wasn't boring. This was usually what I do for G I'm like, let me show you all
Unknown Speaker 47:19
the thrift store I'm gonna do show and tell
Unknown Speaker 47:23
No, I love it. That's great. I tried to get just a podcast adjacent. So I feel like we should hang on to the man. I mean solid if you want. But I feel like we should, like play it sometimes with other people. Yeah, I'd be down
Unknown Speaker 47:38
off my knot tying skills.
Unknown Speaker 47:41
You're like, I really want to win.
Unknown Speaker 47:45
Can we play?
Unknown Speaker 47:46
No, that's a good idea. That would be funny.
Unknown Speaker 47:50
I will study the rules, because it seems like there's a lot going on, even though they claim that men don't read directions, so they don't have directions. But, yeah,
Unknown Speaker 48:03
you need Directions For this game. Yeah, there's too many, too many moving parts more complicated than, like,
Unknown Speaker 48:10
really complex key of furniture. Yes, we should dress up like dudes when we play. Oh yeah, that'd be awesome, dudes. Dudes. Yes, and if we play with actual dudes, then they have to dress up as, like another dude, like maybe a dude they admire. Ah, yeah, yeah. Because there's a lot of like film bro cards in here. It's like, what, uh, what movie did this quote come from? Oh, yeah. And it's like men movies all step brothers.
Unknown Speaker 48:43
I wish I love step brothers and help us out by leaving. Jamie just did a supportive little point. Very nice. Thank you. You did excellent about that. Oh, wait are you? No, you didn't hop in my hoopty.
Unknown Speaker 49:02
Straight up, killed it. Oh yeah, he straight up, killed it. Alyssa, yes.
Unknown Speaker 49:08
I forgot what I was saying. I think I was gonna say yeah. Follow us like our shit, leave us a review,
Unknown Speaker 49:15
and guess we'll see you next time. Well, we're gonna get in our hoopty and drive away. Yeah, party on party on in our hoop. De,
Unknown Speaker 49:27
party on in your hoop, the hoops, god damn it,
Unknown Speaker 49:32
perfect Ending!
yeah, bye
