Also, I'll say this. 178 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,760 Speaker 4: I when you said you had a I'm glad that 179 00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:40,959 Speaker 4: you had a wonderful set at Largo. What a wonderful 180 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:44,200 Speaker 4: place to do comedy, and that you met those nice people, 181 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:48,200 Speaker 4: and that your dad did as well. All fantastic. Also, 182 00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:50,560 Speaker 4: this is so this will be the least important thing 183 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:53,720 Speaker 4: on some level, but just to look into my brain 184 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:57,280 Speaker 4: that when you said that you had a soft set 185 00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:00,680 Speaker 4: at a barber shop, do you do anything like this? Now, 186 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:03,800 Speaker 4: I'm going to introduce the concept to you of syllable twins. 187 00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:09,360 Speaker 4: So syllable twins, for example, could include Drew Barrymore and 188 00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:14,319 Speaker 4: Reese Witherspoon the same same syllabic structure ba but bah bah, 189 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:19,600 Speaker 4: And so you know, like syllable twin could be you know, 190 00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:24,959 Speaker 4: like mulberry bush syllable twin and mulberry bush are syllable twins. 191 00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:28,520 Speaker 3: You came up with that quickly. Yes, my brain does these. 192 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:32,480 Speaker 4: And so when you said soft set at a barber shop, 193 00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:35,320 Speaker 4: I heard it to the tune of fat Guy in 194 00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:38,679 Speaker 4: a little coat from Tommy Boy. 195 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:43,760 Speaker 3: Soft set at a barber shop. Yeah, yeah, of course 196 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:47,200 Speaker 3: it is. I mean it's really weird. You can do 197 00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:49,280 Speaker 3: it without singing, you can. 198 00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:53,520 Speaker 4: And I know that from as you mentioned, my studies 199 00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:57,880 Speaker 4: of linguistics. I took a class called intro to Cognitive Science, 200 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,280 Speaker 4: and we learned about priming, in which like, if somebody 201 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:04,680 Speaker 4: says to you bug, you know, then your brain's neural 202 00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:07,640 Speaker 4: networks for all things related to bugs of any kind. 203 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:10,240 Speaker 4: If you're talking about an insect, like the net that's 204 00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:13,600 Speaker 4: flying around like they're like, oh, net bug, and all 205 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:17,160 Speaker 4: the related things pop up, even like then electronic equipment 206 00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:20,080 Speaker 4: like a spy bug, and then spy networks light up 207 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 4: and your brain thinks of those things quicker. And I 208 00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:24,720 Speaker 4: didn't even Rea, I didn't realize that my brain would 209 00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:28,199 Speaker 4: do it with just sounds, with just the shape the 210 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:33,319 Speaker 4: shape of words, without even the content, just the form alone, 211 00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:34,720 Speaker 4: without even the function. 212 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:35,840 Speaker 3: Uh. 213 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:38,680 Speaker 1: And so did you live in a constant state of 214 00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:42,480 Speaker 1: as if you're taking a test one of those tests 215 00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:43,840 Speaker 1: association tests. 216 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:48,040 Speaker 4: Yes, I think that there is that is an undercurrent, uh, 217 00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:51,160 Speaker 4: you know, on the back burner, if not the front burner. 218 00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:52,920 Speaker 3: It's on It's on one of the burners. 219 00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:58,680 Speaker 5: But also I think it points to your musical talent 220 00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:01,840 Speaker 5: and ability, because that's one of my favorite things.

Like, 739 00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:35,760 Speaker 4: if let's say my dad has a brother, my uncle, 740 00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:40,080 Speaker 4: and if he had kids, that would be my first cousin. 741 00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:41,280 Speaker 3: Uh. 742 00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:45,200 Speaker 4: And if that kid had a kid, then that would 743 00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:49,160 Speaker 4: either be my second cousin or I think that would 744 00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:52,120 Speaker 4: be my second cousin. But I think, uh am, I 745 00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:55,000 Speaker 4: my girlfriend is coming into report.

I 750 00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:06,920 Speaker 4: think from my actual life. My grandmother has a brother. 751 00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:12,280 Speaker 4: He is my great uncle. His child is my mother's 752 00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:17,799 Speaker 4: first cousin, and that's my second cousin because he's or 753 00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:21,040 Speaker 4: that's my first cousin once removed. That's what I forget. 754 00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:23,360 Speaker 4: I forget if he's my second. I think he's my 755 00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:27,160 Speaker 4: second cousin and his kid is my first cousin once removed, 756 00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:31,000 Speaker 4: same same level of generation his first cousin, but it's 757 00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:35,920 Speaker 4: removed because it's through my mom being cousins with his dad. 758 00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:39,279 Speaker 4: That's what I think the removal is. And I have 759 00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:40,520 Speaker 4: no idea if I'm read right. 760 00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:42,880 Speaker 1: And I'm no, I'm no closer to knowing.

You 762 00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:48,080 Speaker 1: made me feel better by making it more confusing than 763 00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:49,960 Speaker 1: I even thought humanly possible. 764 00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:53,239 Speaker 5: There is confusing, though, this is just some fucking like 765 00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:57,040 Speaker 5: who would know this stuff besides an an ancestry dot 766 00:38:57,080 --> 00:39:01,400 Speaker 5: Com level expert, right, because I thought it was. But 767 00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:03,919 Speaker 5: I'm we're talking about two different things because the once 768 00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:04,680 Speaker 5: removed part. 769 00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:08,480 Speaker 2: I have no idea. I just know that my mom's 770 00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:10,240 Speaker 2: cousin is my second cousin. 771 00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:13,279 Speaker 4: Okay, if you know that that's true, I think you 772 00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:16,960 Speaker 4: might be right.

Also, the 779 00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:53,920 Speaker 4: thing that I'll admit is that for many years I 780 00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:57,880 Speaker 4: did not know what the term cliffhanger meant. For this reason, 781 00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:01,839 Speaker 4: you're familiar with a cliffhanger, example, on a TV show 782 00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:04,560 Speaker 4: when it says to be continued, and you're like, ah, 783 00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:07,160 Speaker 4: a cliffhanger, what happened to me? 784 00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:10,520 Speaker 3: You get it? You get I was watching one. 785 00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:15,120 Speaker 4: Time the the old Batman series from the sixties, an 786 00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:18,360 Speaker 4: episode where at the end of it there was a 787 00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:21,759 Speaker 4: to be continued, a cliffhanger that I didn't know that 788 00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:25,520 Speaker 4: word at the time, and Robin was like, on you 789 00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:30,160 Speaker 4: know those contraptions that exist in shop class and villains 790 00:40:30,239 --> 00:40:33,840 Speaker 4: layers where it's like a rotating saw and. 791 00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:34,960 Speaker 3: A conveyor belt. 792 00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:39,520 Speaker 4: Conveyor belt heading towards rotating saw, perfect for building furniture 793 00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:45,600 Speaker 4: or murdering superheroes. And Robin is on this conveyor belt 794 00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:51,440 Speaker 4: heading towards the slow. If it takes the power too, 795 00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:56,080 Speaker 4: will Batman rescue Robin? And I point at the screen 796 00:40:56,360 --> 00:41:00,839 Speaker 4: because I want to know what the contract aption is called. 797 00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:02,839 Speaker 4: I'm like, what is that thing that's in all of 798 00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:05,560 Speaker 4: my cartoons? Like there must be a name for it. 799 00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:08,560 Speaker 4: And I'll give you a brief interlude another a cliffhanger 800 00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:11,200 Speaker 4: to the end of this cliffhanger story. Have you guys, 801 00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:13,680 Speaker 4: have y'all heard of a gava guy?

In my language, that's 810 00:41:35,120 --> 00:41:38,600 Speaker 4: a gava guy. It could mean that gavia guy means rabbit, 811 00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:42,080 Speaker 4: it could mean and tall, a small mammal, maybe a 812 00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:46,000 Speaker 4: puppy is a gava guy.

But I put 879 00:44:54,280 --> 00:44:57,600 Speaker 1: a sweater on one hanger and my bag kind of 880 00:44:57,640 --> 00:44:59,600 Speaker 1: in a chair over here, and then when I went 881 00:44:59,640 --> 00:45:02,400 Speaker 1: to sleep, I'm like, that's a person.

Yeah, so just 889 00:45:20,760 --> 00:45:23,400 Speaker 4: don't don't even don't try to preemptively strike. 890 00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:28,040 Speaker 1: It's just a translucent dotted line outline billy version of 891 00:45:28,080 --> 00:45:31,960 Speaker 1: me from family circus that is actually a ghost child 892 00:45:32,040 --> 00:45:34,399 Speaker 1: of I think. I don't know, I got some weird 893 00:45:34,440 --> 00:45:35,400 Speaker 1: family circuses. 894 00:45:35,520 --> 00:45:38,120 Speaker 3: Not me, Yeah, not me. 895 00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:42,120 Speaker 4: Also, I we don't have to spend too much time 896 00:45:42,120 --> 00:45:45,799 Speaker 4: on this, but I I have had an enlightening experience 897 00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:50,920 Speaker 4: with the cousin chart because be cousin. Did you think, Yes, 898 00:45:52,600 --> 00:45:56,960 Speaker 4: here's here's the thing, here's the thing that. 899 00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:02,160 Speaker 1: It is the cousin. 900 00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:05,960 Speaker 4: I'm gonna I'm gonna record it in my digital recorder 901 00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:07,520 Speaker 4: that I used to record jokes. 902 00:46:07,840 --> 00:46:09,680 Speaker 3: Be cousin. That is my new word. 903 00:46:09,880 --> 00:46:12,520 Speaker 1: I know, I know you well enough to know that 904 00:46:12,560 --> 00:46:17,800 Speaker 1: will soon be three or four minute bit has. 905 00:46:17,840 --> 00:46:23,840 Speaker 4: So here's the thing that's cousin fusing about first cousin. 906 00:46:25,040 --> 00:46:25,960 Speaker 3: I'm fair enough. 907 00:46:27,800 --> 00:46:34,239 Speaker 4: Splits. It's actually appropriate because on this chart. Here's the 908 00:46:34,360 --> 00:46:37,719 Speaker 4: here's why it's confusing, is there are two ways to 909 00:46:37,840 --> 00:46:41,480 Speaker 4: make a first cousin once removed. One way is the 910 00:46:41,600 --> 00:46:45,240 Speaker 4: child of your first cousin is your first cousin once removed. 911 00:46:45,320 --> 00:46:49,320 Speaker 4: The other way is the parent of your second cousin 912 00:46:49,719 --> 00:46:53,759 Speaker 4: is a first cousin once removed as well. So I 913 00:46:53,840 --> 00:46:57,160 Speaker 4: always thought I didn't have first cousins. My cousin Jonathan, 914 00:46:57,440 --> 00:47:01,040 Speaker 4: who is like my age and is you know, we 915 00:47:01,040 --> 00:47:05,800 Speaker 4: we share our grandparents are siblings, so we are second cousins. 916 00:47:06,239 --> 00:47:11,200 Speaker 4: But his father is apparently my first cousin once removed. 917 00:47:11,200 --> 00:47:13,920 Speaker 4: And that's all I just that's what I have to remember, 918 00:47:14,360 --> 00:47:18,960 Speaker 4: is weirdly, my mom's first cousins are my first cousins 919 00:47:19,000 --> 00:47:22,799 Speaker 4: once removed. And the end, I know it. I know 920 00:47:22,880 --> 00:47:25,799 Speaker 4: it now and I'll never remember it again. But I'll 921 00:47:25,800 --> 00:47:28,520 Speaker 4: listen to this podcast and keep this. I'm gonna keep 922 00:47:28,520 --> 00:47:32,120 Speaker 4: this chart. I'm gonna send this chart to myself once 923 00:47:32,360 --> 00:47:34,400 Speaker 4: at least a month, maybe once a year. Once I 924 00:47:34,480 --> 00:47:38,200 Speaker 4: have it, I'm gonna this is this is important thing. 925 00:47:38,320 --> 00:47:41,040 Speaker 4: And I've seen the chart before. I've seen it before, 926 00:47:41,120 --> 00:47:43,360 Speaker 4: but I'm like, I got it now. I just have 927 00:47:43,440 --> 00:47:46,239 Speaker 4: to remember that I never have it, and I just 928 00:47:46,320 --> 00:47:47,399 Speaker 4: have to look at the chart. 929 00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:49,919 Speaker 3: You will, I will. 930 00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:51,000 Speaker 2: It'll unlearnable. 931 00:47:51,120 --> 00:47:54,200 Speaker 3: It's impossible. Anyone who thinks they know it, they don't 932 00:47:54,239 --> 00:47:55,480 Speaker 3: know it. They are lying. 933 00:47:55,920 --> 00:47:59,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm going to continue ignoring it and know that. 934 00:47:59,320 --> 00:48:02,960 Speaker 1: I'll mean says I can only have sex with people 935 00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:03,760 Speaker 1: from out of town. 936 00:48:06,080 --> 00:48:08,680 Speaker 3: That's how I play it safe. You don't have on 937 00:48:08,800 --> 00:48:09,239 Speaker 3: the chart. 938 00:48:09,400 --> 00:48:12,080 Speaker 4: Oh yeah, do you know I think it might be Iceland. 939 00:48:12,400 --> 00:48:15,239 Speaker 4: I think it's might be Iceland. I said it Ice, 940 00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:18,799 Speaker 4: the land of Ice. Yeah, of course, b Yorkland, New 941 00:48:18,920 --> 00:48:24,160 Speaker 4: b York City, capital of Iceland. I believe it's there 942 00:48:24,440 --> 00:48:29,080 Speaker 4: or somewhere equally small. And because it's tight knit, I 943 00:48:29,120 --> 00:48:32,160 Speaker 4: think that they have like an app that like like 944 00:48:32,200 --> 00:48:36,520 Speaker 4: their dating apps, have an additional thing of like making 945 00:48:36,680 --> 00:48:40,759 Speaker 4: checking ancestry to make sure because much it's much more 946 00:48:40,800 --> 00:48:43,799 Speaker 4: frequent that you'll run into somebody who you're related to. 947 00:48:43,960 --> 00:48:46,520 Speaker 1: And that's being careful. And now I feel bad for 948 00:48:46,640 --> 00:48:49,440 Speaker 1: making light or fun of that situation, because that's kind 949 00:48:49,440 --> 00:48:51,640 Speaker 1: of sweet, but they care. 950 00:48:52,200 --> 00:48:55,800 Speaker 5: But I feel like Icelandic people have great senses of humor. 951 00:48:55,960 --> 00:48:59,759 Speaker 5: They're very hardy people. They don't give a shit. They're 952 00:48:59,760 --> 00:49:02,359 Speaker 5: not dipse. Yeah that's not how they are. 953 00:49:02,560 --> 00:49:05,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, they're more laid back then we give them credit. 954 00:49:05,960 --> 00:49:08,400 Speaker 1: Someone just watched the Equal Pay.

I remember having a conversation 1107 00:56:06,719 --> 00:56:09,719 Speaker 4: and Zach just came up with this this description of 1108 00:56:09,760 --> 00:56:12,919 Speaker 4: what Eminem was doing, which is like he's rhyming. He's 1109 00:56:12,920 --> 00:56:15,520 Speaker 4: so good at rhyming. He's not only rhyming things that 1110 00:56:15,600 --> 00:56:19,600 Speaker 4: do rhyme, he's rhyming things that don't rhyme. For example, 1111 00:56:19,920 --> 00:56:23,800 Speaker 4: there's like a he rhymes in one song, I'll lose 1112 00:56:23,880 --> 00:56:30,800 Speaker 4: my shit with toolboxes and screw drivers, and like screwdrivers 1113 00:56:30,960 --> 00:56:33,399 Speaker 4: and toolboxes and lose my shit. 1114 00:56:33,800 --> 00:56:37,640 Speaker 3: None of them rhymes, but he makes them rhyme. 1115 00:56:38,040 --> 00:56:38,200 Speaker 1: Yea. 1116 00:56:38,280 --> 00:56:41,160 Speaker 4: And then Zach introduces the concept of he learned about 1117 00:56:41,160 --> 00:56:44,960 Speaker 4: a thing called a Twinkie burger, which apparently some company 1118 00:56:45,200 --> 00:56:48,799 Speaker 4: found this thing where they like flash fry and like 1119 00:56:48,880 --> 00:56:52,360 Speaker 4: smashed down Twinkies as the bun, and then there's a 1120 00:56:52,400 --> 00:56:54,200 Speaker 4: burger and cheese and bacon. 1121 00:56:54,680 --> 00:56:58,160 Speaker 3: We're both upset by this and it seems. 1122 00:56:57,880 --> 00:57:00,840 Speaker 4: Like yeah, and so it seems like it shouldn't work, 1123 00:57:01,920 --> 00:57:04,040 Speaker 4: and so Zach is like, what Eminem is doing is 1124 00:57:04,080 --> 00:57:09,760 Speaker 4: like creating these lyrical twinkieburgers, and then he the song 1125 00:57:10,360 --> 00:57:15,560 Speaker 4: everything rhymes with the word twinkieburger, and it's it.

Like it's like because yeah, like you were saying, Karen, Like, 1138 00:57:52,800 --> 00:57:55,000 Speaker 4: when you start, you see what other people have done, 1139 00:57:55,320 --> 00:57:58,240 Speaker 4: and you're like, oh, can I do my version of 1140 00:57:58,280 --> 00:58:01,720 Speaker 4: what they're doing, or maybe even my own? Can I 1141 00:58:01,960 --> 00:58:05,120 Speaker 4: invent my own genre? Can I be my own flavor? 1142 00:58:05,400 --> 00:58:08,200 Speaker 4: Am I creating a brand new instrument and a whole 1143 00:58:08,240 --> 00:58:10,919 Speaker 4: new sound? And then when you hear other people doing 1144 00:58:11,000 --> 00:58:13,960 Speaker 4: and you're like, but how did Yeah, I didn't even know. 1145 00:58:14,320 --> 00:58:15,440 Speaker 3: Did you know we could do that? 1146 00:58:15,680 --> 00:58:20,520 Speaker 4: I mean, we can't excuse me, teacher, this is this 1147 00:58:20,680 --> 00:58:24,320 Speaker 4: was not the assignment. They're doing better than. 1148 00:58:24,200 --> 00:58:28,440 Speaker 5: Us, They're doing so much better. But also I just 1149 00:58:28,480 --> 00:58:33,000 Speaker 5: recently saw TikTok about how like kind of hyper pattern 1150 00:58:33,080 --> 00:58:38,240 Speaker 5: recognition is a coping mechanism of children who are like 1151 00:58:38,360 --> 00:58:41,560 Speaker 5: in certain situations whatever. It's not always like bad, but 1152 00:58:41,680 --> 00:58:45,040 Speaker 5: it's just a thing that kids develop when maybe their 1153 00:58:45,080 --> 00:58:49,640 Speaker 5: needs aren't met in specific ways. So becoming highly attuned 1154 00:58:49,640 --> 00:58:52,400 Speaker 5: to patterns is how you get them met, or is 1155 00:58:52,480 --> 00:58:56,000 Speaker 5: how you figure it out. And I saw that TikTok 1156 00:58:56,080 --> 00:58:58,200 Speaker 5: like four days ago, and all I can think about was. 1157 00:58:58,240 --> 00:58:59,840 Speaker 2: Like, that's all of comedy. 1158 00:59:00,120 --> 00:59:02,920 Speaker 5: That's all of comedy because it's this kind of like 1159 00:59:03,200 --> 00:59:08,160 Speaker 5: whether the pattern is a sarcasm or the pattern is metaphor, 1160 00:59:08,800 --> 00:59:11,960 Speaker 5: or the pattern is do you like rap? I'm going 1161 00:59:12,000 --> 00:59:14,520 Speaker 5: to comedy rap. You're going to recognize what I'm doing, 1162 00:59:14,640 --> 00:59:15,919 Speaker 5: and I'm going to make you laugh. 1163 00:59:15,920 --> 00:59:18,479 Speaker 2: I'm going to combine it like I'm going to blow 1164 00:59:18,520 --> 00:59:18,919 Speaker 2: your mind. 1165 00:59:19,040 --> 00:59:22,080 Speaker 5: All of that is just more and more heightened pattern 1166 00:59:22,160 --> 00:59:26,160 Speaker 5: recognition and like the appreciation of it. It's just I 1167 00:59:26,160 --> 00:59:27,840 Speaker 5: don't know, I love it and I love it. 1168 00:59:27,920 --> 00:59:32,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, and I mean even more broadly than comedy. I mean, 1169 00:59:32,280 --> 00:59:35,360 Speaker 4: of course, it is exactly what's happening in comedy and 1170 00:59:35,440 --> 00:59:38,640 Speaker 4: music and art and also in just humanity. 1171 00:59:38,720 --> 00:59:41,360 Speaker 3: We are all, you know, meaning. 1172 00:59:41,120 --> 00:59:45,320 Speaker 4: Seekers like pattern like we need. If you don't recognize patterns, 1173 00:59:45,880 --> 00:59:49,160 Speaker 4: then you may die from the thing that killed your 1174 00:59:49,160 --> 00:59:51,840 Speaker 4: friend that you didn't you're like, oh, that thing poisoned him. 1175 00:59:51,960 --> 00:59:54,800 Speaker 3: But it's probably fine for me, yeah, mutually for me. 1176 00:59:55,200 --> 00:59:59,120 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I will eat this tiger, you know, Oh no, 1177 00:59:59,280 --> 01:00:00,680 Speaker 4: the tiger will eat Okay. 1178 01:00:00,840 --> 01:00:04,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, I see a pattern forming. 1179 01:00:05,640 --> 01:00:07,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, fascinating, fascinating. 1180 01:00:07,640 --> 01:00:10,840 Speaker 1: I didn't know you were. And it, of course almost 1181 01:00:10,840 --> 01:00:14,600 Speaker 1: comedically makes sense that you have a master's in linguistics, 1182 01:00:14,680 --> 01:00:20,320 Speaker 1: and there's something that a linguist linguistics person told me 1183 01:00:20,440 --> 01:00:23,240 Speaker 1: once that I've always repeated, and I don't even know 1184 01:00:23,280 --> 01:00:26,080 Speaker 1: if there's any truth to it. But I'm from the 1185 01:00:26,160 --> 01:00:29,720 Speaker 1: you know, kind of Pacific. I'm from Montana, so it's 1186 01:00:29,720 --> 01:00:32,800 Speaker 1: not even Pacific Northwest, but I would say I'm close. 1187 01:00:32,920 --> 01:00:35,760 Speaker 1: I'm next to that panhandle of Idaho. He told me 1188 01:00:35,800 --> 01:00:37,919 Speaker 1: that that part of the country is the only part 1189 01:00:37,960 --> 01:00:40,800 Speaker 1: of the US where there is no accent. Is that 1190 01:00:40,960 --> 01:00:43,240 Speaker 1: something that person made up? Or can you give that 1191 01:00:43,280 --> 01:00:44,080 Speaker 1: any validity? 1192 01:00:45,040 --> 01:00:48,080 Speaker 5: And the be part of that question is what's the 1193 01:00:48,160 --> 01:00:50,479 Speaker 5: Craig and Auto Parts theme song in that. 1194 01:00:50,440 --> 01:00:51,280 Speaker 2: Part of the country? 1195 01:00:51,520 --> 01:00:56,080 Speaker 1: Yes, all leaning up to Tony's joke coming up? 1196 01:00:57,440 --> 01:01:00,960 Speaker 4: Of course I will here, I'll say a few different 1197 01:01:01,000 --> 01:01:03,560 Speaker 4: things that will dance around the answer to your question. 1198 01:01:03,600 --> 01:01:07,760 Speaker 3: I'll give you the answer to your question is he 1199 01:01:07,800 --> 01:01:09,960 Speaker 3: hasn't done it. 1200 01:01:09,960 --> 01:01:14,160 Speaker 1: It gets me excited when that happens. That I appreciate it. 1201 01:01:14,360 --> 01:01:21,720 Speaker 4: So newscasters are like famously historically have trained themselves to 1202 01:01:21,840 --> 01:01:27,360 Speaker 4: speak with as it's weird to say, like without an accent, 1203 01:01:27,560 --> 01:01:31,200 Speaker 4: or with as little you know, discernible accent. But here's 1204 01:01:31,200 --> 01:01:33,720 Speaker 4: the thing is, of course, like to a British person, 1205 01:01:34,400 --> 01:01:38,160 Speaker 4: everyone in the United States has an accent. They speak English. 1206 01:01:38,400 --> 01:01:42,160 Speaker 4: We speak English. It's it's a matter of relativity, like 1207 01:01:42,360 --> 01:01:44,640 Speaker 4: in the United States, Like I mean, I would say 1208 01:01:44,680 --> 01:01:48,160 Speaker 4: the simplest thing, the simplest answer is there is no 1209 01:01:48,200 --> 01:01:51,120 Speaker 4: one who does not have an accent, because it's like 1210 01:01:51,240 --> 01:01:54,000 Speaker 4: it's like pointing to one person and saying, is that 1211 01:01:54,080 --> 01:01:57,920 Speaker 4: person taller? Or is there someone who isn't taller? And 1212 01:01:57,920 --> 01:02:02,040 Speaker 4: you're like compared to what, but for whom? Like But 1213 01:02:02,160 --> 01:02:05,520 Speaker 4: then there is this weird thing of the newscaster, like 1214 01:02:05,560 --> 01:02:10,040 Speaker 4: who is striving to be as universally accessible so that 1215 01:02:10,400 --> 01:02:14,680 Speaker 4: everyone who might be listening could listen and think like, oh, yeah, 1216 01:02:14,800 --> 01:02:20,160 Speaker 4: that's not I don't hear anything super anomalists to my voice. 1217 01:02:20,200 --> 01:02:23,040 Speaker 4: Like you know, clearly most people don't speak like a newscaster. 1218 01:02:23,600 --> 01:02:25,520 Speaker 4: But it's like those things you ever see like in 1219 01:02:25,560 --> 01:02:27,760 Speaker 4: a in a I don't know, a highlights magazine or something, 1220 01:02:27,800 --> 01:02:30,600 Speaker 4: or like a games magazine where it's like nine faces 1221 01:02:30,920 --> 01:02:33,439 Speaker 4: and they're like they all have some of the same 1222 01:02:33,520 --> 01:02:36,560 Speaker 4: features and some different features, right, and be like which 1223 01:02:36,600 --> 01:02:40,600 Speaker 4: face has the most features in common with all of 1224 01:02:40,640 --> 01:02:44,240 Speaker 4: the other ones, and like that one is like newscaster voice. 1225 01:02:44,320 --> 01:02:47,240 Speaker 4: And so maybe there is some part of the country 1226 01:02:47,800 --> 01:02:53,520 Speaker 4: that does have that version of like fewest anomalies compared 1227 01:02:53,600 --> 01:02:57,680 Speaker 4: to all other parts that do exist. But it's it's 1228 01:02:57,720 --> 01:03:02,000 Speaker 4: absolutely it can't be like a in stone absolute because 1229 01:03:02,080 --> 01:03:03,800 Speaker 4: language is always shifting. 1230 01:03:03,560 --> 01:03:06,640 Speaker 1: And any as someone from Louisiana, I'm going to have 1231 01:03:06,720 --> 01:03:09,520 Speaker 1: as as strong of an accent as they do to me. 1232 01:03:10,080 --> 01:03:13,160 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, you're you know you definitely depends on you. 1233 01:03:13,160 --> 01:03:16,440 Speaker 3: You have an accent you sure, yeah. 1234 01:03:16,400 --> 01:03:19,880 Speaker 1: That's people. But the confusing thing is I've been asked 1235 01:03:19,920 --> 01:03:22,280 Speaker 1: if I'm from Canada, but I've also been asked if 1236 01:03:22,320 --> 01:03:25,800 Speaker 1: I'm from Philadelphia specifically, so I don't. It's like, well, 1237 01:03:25,800 --> 01:03:27,400 Speaker 1: where's the logic in that I don't. 1238 01:03:27,520 --> 01:03:30,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, everyone out there just ask him where are you from? 1239 01:03:31,040 --> 01:03:33,400 Speaker 3: If you want, you know, don't have rather than yes, 1240 01:03:33,600 --> 01:03:34,520 Speaker 3: you don't have to guess. 1241 01:03:35,160 --> 01:03:37,640 Speaker 5: You don't have to pin people down conversationally. 1242 01:03:37,680 --> 01:03:38,240 Speaker 3: It's weird. 1243 01:03:38,520 --> 01:03:39,960 Speaker 1: I know, I know it's weird. 1244 01:03:40,040 --> 01:03:41,520 Speaker 3: It's just interesting to me. 1245 01:03:41,640 --> 01:03:44,959 Speaker 4: I guess this is geographic linguistic astrology. 1246 01:03:45,000 --> 01:03:46,960 Speaker 3: You don't have to do it. Yeah, yeah, you're. 1247 01:03:47,000 --> 01:03:50,240 Speaker 1: It's it's teetering on the edge of an unhealthy thing 1248 01:03:50,280 --> 01:03:53,800 Speaker 1: to even care about. I think, Yeah, so I've decided 1249 01:03:53,800 --> 01:03:54,760 Speaker 1: I don't care anymore. 1250 01:03:56,120 --> 01:03:58,800 Speaker 5: And with that, I think that you need to re 1251 01:03:59,040 --> 01:04:02,640 Speaker 5: sing the East Coast Craig and Auto Parts theme and 1252 01:04:02,840 --> 01:04:06,080 Speaker 5: tell us and yes, oh if you have anything to 1253 01:04:06,120 --> 01:04:08,040 Speaker 5: plug before you do this, and this can be the 1254 01:04:08,080 --> 01:04:09,080 Speaker 5: final button. 1255 01:04:08,840 --> 01:04:11,080 Speaker 3: If we do it that way, I'd love to do it. 1256 01:04:11,160 --> 01:04:15,320 Speaker 4: And so yes, in conclusion, the AutoZone theme and joke 1257 01:04:15,440 --> 01:04:21,360 Speaker 4: by Anthony slash Tony someone Anthony and before that, yes, 1258 01:04:21,800 --> 01:04:25,720 Speaker 4: Mike Caplan is my name, and it's spelled weird compared 1259 01:04:25,760 --> 01:04:29,280 Speaker 4: to many people who spell their names differently. Maybe you're 1260 01:04:29,320 --> 01:04:33,360 Speaker 4: all weird. Maybe everyone's weird except for me. So Mike Kaplan, 1261 01:04:33,560 --> 01:04:36,320 Speaker 4: m y q ka p l A N.
