<v Speaker 1>say the keyword that I give out, I get a

0:00:40.510 --> 0:00:44.210
<v Speaker 1>new keyword each time. The first person to say it,

0:00:44.350 --> 0:00:50.230
<v Speaker 1>send it, and we get it will win the tickets. Now,

0:00:51.650 --> 0:00:54.510
<v Speaker 1>this could happen at any point. It's supposed to happen

0:00:54.590 --> 0:00:55.370
<v Speaker 1>on the 40s. Yeah. So.

0:00:55.350 --> 0:00:59.350
<v Speaker 2>840.

0:00:59.750 --> 0:01:03.830
<v Speaker 1>Is your next shot to win. But like the 10

0:01:03.830 --> 0:01:07.069
<v Speaker 1>houses that we're getting ourselves into at Halloween Horror Nights

0:01:07.130 --> 0:01:12.940
<v Speaker 1>and in the other scare zones. There's jump scares. There's

0:01:13.000 --> 0:01:17.480
<v Speaker 1>jump prizes. Yeah, I like that. So just get ready.

0:01:17.980 --> 0:01:20.060
<v Speaker 1>I could in the next five minutes. Do it. I

0:01:20.100 --> 0:01:25.690
<v Speaker 1>heart radio app stream us there. I want to talk

0:01:25.730 --> 0:01:28.289
<v Speaker 1>about nerds. Are you about to attack me?

0:01:28.980 --> 0:01:32.860
<v Speaker 3>No, I want to talk about people thinking being called

0:01:32.920 --> 0:01:36.200
<v Speaker 3>a nerd is a compliment. If someone called you a nerd,

0:01:36.240 --> 0:01:36.880
<v Speaker 3>how would you feel about it?

0:01:36.900 --> 0:01:37.520
<v Speaker 1>Oh, I love that.

0:01:37.540 --> 0:01:39.860
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I'd be pumped.

0:01:39.920 --> 0:01:40.530
<v Speaker 2>I'm indifferent.

0:01:41.000 --> 0:01:41.910
<v Speaker 1>You're indifferent?

0:01:42.630 --> 0:01:43.470
<v Speaker 2>It could go either way.

0:01:43.970 --> 0:01:46.380
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I don't. It depends on the context of it.

0:01:46.810 --> 0:01:48.030
<v Speaker 1>My niece does not want to be called a nerd.

0:01:48.050 --> 0:01:49.590
<v Speaker 1>I'll tell you that. She doesn't like it. 800-409-9393. Is

0:01:49.610 --> 0:01:51.030
<v Speaker 1>being a nerd a compliment? I like being a nerd.

0:01:55.360 --> 0:01:57.680
<v Speaker 3>Well, 83% of people in this poll said that if

0:01:57.700 --> 0:01:59.550
<v Speaker 3>someone calls them a nerd, they're just like, oh, my God,

0:01:59.630 --> 0:02:02.490
<v Speaker 3>thank you. Because it kind of implies that you're very smart.

0:02:02.510 --> 0:02:04.740
<v Speaker 1>Yes. But back in the day, it was like, don't

0:02:04.780 --> 0:02:05.540
<v Speaker 1>call me a nerd.

0:02:06.450 --> 0:02:08.090
<v Speaker 4>No, I don't think about it like that.

0:02:08.150 --> 0:02:08.630
<v Speaker 3>Really? No.

0:02:08.650 --> 0:02:09.750
<v Speaker 1>What do you think of it? No, I don't think

0:02:09.810 --> 0:02:12.410
<v Speaker 1>nerds are smart. I think they are. Yes, they are. No,

0:02:12.450 --> 0:02:15.790
<v Speaker 1>nerds aren't smart anymore. No. Yes, they are. No, intelligence

0:02:15.830 --> 0:02:20.720
<v Speaker 1>was dropped from nerd. Nerd is more like you like

0:02:20.760 --> 0:02:26.120
<v Speaker 1>cool stuff. Yeah, you like Legos. You like sci-fi. You

0:02:26.180 --> 0:02:34.440
<v Speaker 1>enjoy knights and demons and dragons and ghouls and goblins.

0:02:34.580 --> 0:02:38.169
<v Speaker 1>And you believe in elves. And you like mythology.

0:02:38.290 --> 0:02:39.150
<v Speaker 4>And you enjoy.

0:02:39.169 --> 0:02:43.840
<v Speaker 1>That's a nerd. That's intelligent stuff. Yeah, mythology? There's nothing

0:02:43.880 --> 0:02:47.940
<v Speaker 1>intelligent about me buying 8 million lightsabers. It's not. There's

0:02:47.980 --> 0:02:52.100
<v Speaker 1>nothing intelligent about me spending hours on end on Nintendo

0:02:52.120 --> 0:02:55.520
<v Speaker 1>Switch and playing Legend of Zelda. Also very nerdy. Yeah,

0:02:55.680 --> 0:02:57.889
<v Speaker 1>that's nerdy. There's nothing intelligent about it.

0:02:58.160 --> 0:03:01.820
<v Speaker 2>So here's the Merriam-Webster definition of a nerd.

0:03:02.210 --> 0:03:04.230
<v Speaker 1>Reading a... Dictionary.

0:03:06.410 --> 0:03:11.610
<v Speaker 2>A person who is exceptionally devoted to intellectual, academic, or

0:03:11.690 --> 0:03:16.130
<v Speaker 2>technical pursuits, often with an intense focus on niche interests.

0:03:16.490 --> 0:03:20.350
<v Speaker 2>So it doesn't have to specify academia or even intellectual stuff.

0:03:20.750 --> 0:03:24.000
<v Speaker 2>I read this technical pursuits. I automatically think video games,

0:03:24.060 --> 0:03:28.419
<v Speaker 2>Dungeons and Dragons, board games, card collecting, things like that.

0:03:29.350 --> 0:03:32.230
<v Speaker 1>I am getting more and more and more into scary things.

0:03:32.570 --> 0:03:36.680
<v Speaker 1>Ever since that 15 hours of absolute horror last week.

0:03:36.740 --> 0:03:41.660
<v Speaker 1>And I mean, it was something else. I think I've

0:03:41.700 --> 0:03:45.180
<v Speaker 1>decided that I like the feeling of being scared. Isn't

0:03:45.200 --> 0:03:46.540
<v Speaker 1>it wonderful? Yeah.

0:03:46.920 --> 0:03:47.100
<v Speaker 3>It's not.

0:03:47.320 --> 0:03:49.650
<v Speaker 1>And you know what? I want to change something. I

0:03:49.670 --> 0:03:51.390
<v Speaker 1>would like to have, like, Jet and I watch a

0:03:51.430 --> 0:03:53.670
<v Speaker 1>lot of sports. You know, like, on the sports shows

0:03:53.770 --> 0:03:56.110
<v Speaker 1>after they give a take. Like, 10 minutes later, the

0:03:56.150 --> 0:03:59.300
<v Speaker 1>producer goes in and goes... I'd like to add a fact,

0:03:59.340 --> 0:04:03.060
<v Speaker 1>you know, a correction. You know, Baker Mayfield threw 17

0:04:03.060 --> 0:04:07.800
<v Speaker 1>touchdowns on Thursdays, not 16. I got a correction to

0:04:07.820 --> 0:04:11.940
<v Speaker 1>make from earlier in the show. Okay. I do get scared.

0:04:12.710 --> 0:04:14.730
<v Speaker 1>I like the feeling of being scared.

0:04:15.550 --> 0:04:17.409
<v Speaker 4>Okay. Like, I like that, like.

0:04:17.430 --> 0:04:18.270
<v Speaker 1>That rush you get?

0:04:18.690 --> 0:04:19.570
<v Speaker 4>Goblin-y.

0:04:19.670 --> 0:04:21.130
<v Speaker 1>Yes, it's exhilarating.

0:04:21.710 --> 0:04:22.370
<v Speaker 4>I like that.

0:04:22.730 --> 0:04:25.490
<v Speaker 1>Don't. But I am not most excited for the scaries.

0:04:26.920 --> 0:04:36.330
<v Speaker 1>At Halloween Horror Nights, they've got the Fort Nightmare Scare Zone. That,

0:04:36.390 --> 0:04:41.070
<v Speaker 1>to me, is the coolest thing ever. Nerdy!

0:04:41.110 --> 0:04:44.630
<v Speaker 3>That's the biggest thing.

0:04:44.690 --> 0:04:47.640
<v Speaker 1>Inherently, I think that theme parks might actually be nerdy.

0:04:48.720 --> 0:04:52.880
<v Speaker 1>In a good way, yeah. He's always a good way.

0:04:53.040 --> 0:04:54.940
<v Speaker 1>You want to know what's really nerdy? This guy in

0:04:54.980 --> 0:04:57.540
<v Speaker 1>his hat. I can't stop looking at it.

0:04:57.580 --> 0:04:58.599
<v Speaker 4>I can't either.

0:04:58.700 --> 0:05:00.659
<v Speaker 1>This guy in his hat.

0:05:00.740 --> 0:05:01.500
<v Speaker 2>She's talking about you.

0:05:01.520 --> 0:05:02.960
<v Speaker 1>Your hat, bro, is mad nerdy.

0:05:03.000 --> 0:05:03.820
<v Speaker 2>I don't think it's nerdy.

0:05:03.839 --> 0:05:06.159
<v Speaker 1>It is so nerdy. I don't think so. Yeah, it's awesome.

0:05:06.279 --> 0:05:09.130
<v Speaker 1>It's nerdy, though. Ashley's just hating. No, I'm okay with

0:05:09.170 --> 0:05:11.890
<v Speaker 1>you saying it's nerdy. Yeah, it is nerdy. Nerdy's a compliment.

0:05:11.950 --> 0:05:12.430
<v Speaker 2>It is.

0:05:13.510 --> 0:05:15.909
<v Speaker 1>Let's be okay with being nerdy. There's nothing wrong with

0:05:15.930 --> 0:05:18.409
<v Speaker 1>being nerdy. By the way, this hat is sick. Is

0:05:18.910 --> 0:05:19.610
<v Speaker 1>that Donkey Kong?

0:05:19.830 --> 0:05:20.270
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:05:20.290 --> 0:05:22.010
<v Speaker 1>Okay, I'll take a picture. I'll put it on our

0:05:22.070 --> 0:05:24.830
<v Speaker 1>story real quick. I have the hat on the story

0:05:24.950 --> 0:05:27.719
<v Speaker 1>right now. Wild. Oh, you do have it on the story? Yeah,

0:05:27.740 --> 0:05:31.300
<v Speaker 1>I just did like B-roll. Then perfect. At Live with JoJo,

0:05:31.339 --> 0:05:35.200
<v Speaker 1>go look at it. It's a sick hat. Everyone's saying

0:05:35.240 --> 0:05:36.020
<v Speaker 1>it's a sick hat.

0:05:36.600 --> 0:05:37.219
<v Speaker 2>Bright yellow.

0:05:37.339 --> 0:05:40.150
<v Speaker 1>We won't lose you in the crowd. We will not. Here,

0:05:40.190 --> 0:05:42.210
<v Speaker 1>hold on. Let me get a.

0:05:42.290 --> 0:05:44.430
<v Speaker 3>And he walked out of the room like, oh, I

0:05:44.470 --> 0:05:45.430
<v Speaker 3>got this hat on.

0:05:45.470 --> 0:05:46.050
<v Speaker 4>Why?

0:05:46.150 --> 0:05:47.610
<v Speaker 1>It does look good.

0:05:48.290 --> 0:05:50.110
<v Speaker 4>Here. So hold on. Who cares?

0:05:50.130 --> 0:05:51.350
<v Speaker 2>Well, with his mesh shorts.

0:05:51.470 --> 0:05:54.210
<v Speaker 1>I'll press post on it in just a second. But

0:05:54.250 --> 0:05:56.900
<v Speaker 1>it's Donkey Kong. And you know what's super cool about it? What?

0:05:57.100 --> 0:06:00.220
<v Speaker 1>No water in these studios at Universal Orlando Resort.

0:05:59.920 --> 0:06:02.380
<v Speaker 4>Because these studios are really nice.

0:06:02.420 --> 0:06:05.220
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. If it gets wet, though, bananas go on.

0:06:05.279 --> 0:06:05.880
<v Speaker 2>It's pretty cool.

0:06:07.220 --> 0:06:07.740
<v Speaker 4>Oh. Oh.

0:06:10.520 --> 0:06:15.789
<v Speaker 1>What? That's bananas. I don't think that's bananas.

0:06:16.029 --> 0:06:19.050
<v Speaker 3>So if it rains today, you're going to have bananas

0:06:19.170 --> 0:06:20.410
<v Speaker 3>on your head, huh?

0:06:20.450 --> 0:06:22.190
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. See, I don't know if nerd's a

0:06:22.210 --> 0:06:23.370
<v Speaker 2>good thing.

0:06:23.410 --> 0:06:24.669
<v Speaker 1>It is.

0:06:24.890 --> 0:06:27.550
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so the definition on Wikipedia is much different than

0:06:27.570 --> 0:06:29.070
<v Speaker 2>the one that I just read you guys a couple

0:06:29.089 --> 0:06:34.900
<v Speaker 2>minutes ago. It says over-intellectual, obsessive, introverted, and like... Oh,

0:06:34.920 --> 0:06:35.940
<v Speaker 2>that sounds like Joe.

0:06:36.060 --> 0:06:36.620
<v Speaker 1>And like.

0:06:37.880 --> 0:06:39.380
<v Speaker 2>Lacking social skills.

0:06:39.690 --> 0:06:40.030
<v Speaker 1>Oh, yeah.

0:06:40.230 --> 0:06:43.150
<v Speaker 2>And sociocultural institution.

0:06:43.350 --> 0:06:45.830
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Put him in a private institution. Yeah, that's me.

0:06:45.950 --> 0:06:48.310
<v Speaker 1>I'm a nerd. To the T, literally.

0:06:48.450 --> 0:06:52.390
<v Speaker 2>Okay, yeah. Science fiction or fantasy. Shy, quirky.

0:06:52.650 --> 0:06:54.540
<v Speaker 1>Would you say that's Joe?

0:06:54.920 --> 0:06:58.140
<v Speaker 2>I wouldn't say he's shy. I wouldn't say he's quirky either.

0:06:58.160 --> 0:06:59.000
<v Speaker 1>He's definitely quirky.

0:06:59.040 --> 0:07:00.179
<v Speaker 2>And he's definitely not unattractive.

0:07:00.200 --> 0:07:01.060
<v Speaker 4>What does quirky mean?

0:07:03.600 --> 0:07:04.719
<v Speaker 1>Unique. It's odd.

0:07:04.779 --> 0:07:04.859
<v Speaker 4>Yes.

0:07:05.600 --> 0:07:08.500
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, unique in a very niche way.

0:07:09.000 --> 0:07:09.310
<v Speaker 2>You are.

0:07:11.220 --> 0:07:13.630
<v Speaker 1>I may be slightly. 800-409-9393 is being a nerd a compliment.

0:07:13.650 --> 0:07:25.710
<v Speaker 1>I actually think this is like an incredible compliment. I

0:07:25.730 --> 0:07:27.570
<v Speaker 1>tell you, my niece, she ain't going for that.

0:07:27.770 --> 0:07:28.190
<v Speaker 4>Why, though?

0:07:28.230 --> 0:07:29.890
<v Speaker 1>She doesn't like it. We need to make it okay

0:07:29.910 --> 0:07:31.100
<v Speaker 1>for her to be a nerd. And she wears glasses, too.

0:07:31.120 --> 0:07:33.460
<v Speaker 1>I was like, girl, you're so cool. You're the nerdiest

0:07:33.540 --> 0:07:36.020
<v Speaker 1>of the nerds. Actually, that's why my eyes are hurting.

0:07:36.060 --> 0:07:38.200
<v Speaker 1>My eyes have been killing me this last hour.

0:07:38.340 --> 0:07:39.040
<v Speaker 4>I know what it is.

0:07:39.360 --> 0:07:40.160
<v Speaker 2>Forgot your eye drops?

0:07:40.600 --> 0:07:42.900
<v Speaker 1>No, I don't have my glasses on. Oh, I don't

0:07:42.940 --> 0:07:47.430
<v Speaker 1>have my glasses. You don't have my glasses. Got Velma

0:07:47.440 --> 0:07:50.250
<v Speaker 1>over here. I have this crazy sinus pressure right here. Oh,

0:07:50.270 --> 0:07:54.790
<v Speaker 1>my God. And it's not sinus. It's my eyes. They're tired. Well,

0:07:54.810 --> 0:07:55.210
<v Speaker 1>I ought to.

0:07:55.620 --> 0:07:57.720
<v Speaker 4>There's nothing nerdy you've got glasses on, you nerd.

0:07:59.100 --> 0:08:01.080
<v Speaker 1>Because I can't see without them. Yeah.

0:08:02.280 --> 0:08:02.619
<v Speaker 4>Nerdy.

0:08:03.380 --> 0:08:03.810
<v Speaker 1>Nerd.

0:08:03.910 --> 0:08:07.240
<v Speaker 4>That's a very nerd thing for you to say. Isn't it?

0:08:09.070 --> 0:08:09.370
<v Speaker 1>Isn't it?

0:08:09.650 --> 0:08:10.040
<v Speaker 4>Isn't it?

0:08:10.270 --> 0:08:10.570
<v Speaker 1>Isn't it?
