[00:00:10] Baby Pigs Get Christmas Pardoned from Florida Mayor in a Cuban Twist on White House Turkey Tradition.

[00:00:20] Context?

[00:00:21] What? No, that was the title of the article.

[00:00:31] As the stars of Friday's show in downtown Miami, Baby Pigs Glinda and El Faba will never have to worry about gracing the dinner table at a Cuban-American family's home on Christmas Eve.

[00:00:45] Public pardons for the two piglets were granted by the mayor of Miami-Dade County, Daniela Levine Cava, in a seven-year South Florida riff on the White House tradition.

[00:00:58] I've never heard of this tradition before, but this is the seventh year it's happening.

[00:01:02] The four-month-old pigs, named after the good and wicked witches in the musical Wicked, will live out there expected 12 to 15 years at an animal sanctuary south of Miami.

[00:01:13] Oh.

[00:01:14] Okay.

[00:01:14] I like that.

[00:01:17] Now the website's asking me to donate.

[00:01:19] Ah, that's funny.

[00:01:20] Good luck with that.

[00:01:21] I ain't donating anything.

[00:01:25] Well, welcome back to Mindless Prattle.

[00:01:28] I'm Ripley.

[00:01:29] That one over there is Jordan.

[00:01:32] And...

[00:01:32] This article doesn't make any sense.

[00:01:34] It says, if not for the pardons, they could have joined the thousands of their kind that will be barbecued hold on Tuesday.

[00:01:39] Why would you barbecue baby pigs?

[00:01:41] You would clearly do the adults.

[00:01:43] That's a lie.

[00:01:44] This article doesn't know what the hell it's talking about anymore.

[00:01:48] Yeah.

[00:01:50] It's like when PETA is like, oh, people kill animals.

[00:01:54] And then you do some research and PETA kills more animals than animal shelters do every single year.

[00:02:01] Really?

[00:02:01] I haven't looked into PETA that much.

[00:02:03] Yeah.

[00:02:04] They put down a lot of animals, actually.

[00:02:06] Hmm.

[00:02:07] Because they think it's better to put them down than for animals to suffer at the hands of other people or some bullshit like that.

[00:02:13] Yeah.

[00:02:13] And it just...

[00:02:14] It's insane to me.

[00:02:16] They're really bad at rescuing.

[00:02:18] Okay.

[00:02:21] Do you remember seeing the story about the New Zealand guy who memorized every French word for French Scrabble and then won the French Scrabble tournament?

[00:02:33] No, actually.

[00:02:36] Okay.

[00:02:36] So there was a guy.

[00:02:37] He memorized all of the French words that are acceptable in French Scrabble.

[00:02:44] He has no idea what they mean or any inkling of speaking French, but he won the National Scrabble championship because he knew all the words.

[00:02:54] Well, he just did the same thing in Spanish.

[00:02:58] He memorized every Spanish Scrabble word and then won the Spanish Scrabble title.

[00:03:07] His name is Nigel Richards, a professional player who holds five English language world titles, won the Spanish World Scrabble championships in Spain in November, losing one game out of the 24 that he played.

[00:03:20] I don't...

[00:03:22] He can't understand why other people can't just do the same thing, he said.

[00:03:26] He can look at a block of words together and once they go into his brain as a picture, he can just recall that very easily.

[00:03:32] So he just memorized all the words and said, good enough.

[00:03:37] Is he the neurodivergent variety?

[00:03:40] I don't know.

[00:03:40] And like it says, in 2015, he did the same thing with French and then this year he did the same thing with Spanish.

[00:03:46] Like...

[00:03:47] So...

[00:03:47] Oh man, if I was competing and I heard that man's name, I'd be like, fuck.

[00:03:53] Like, not that guy, please.

[00:03:54] He said the hardest championship to win was the US and British title because he had to forget 40,000 English words that are not in the Scrabble word list.

[00:04:05] Hmm.

[00:04:06] I didn't know there were that many words that aren't allowed in Scrabble, but I mean, I guess that makes sense.

[00:04:15] How many words are English?

[00:04:17] What?

[00:04:20] More specific, please.

[00:04:22] How many English words are there?

[00:04:24] 170,000.

[00:04:25] Like British English or American English?

[00:04:27] Quiet.

[00:04:28] A hungler...

[00:04:29] Hungled.

[00:04:30] A hungler.

[00:04:32] Hungler games.

[00:04:33] The dictionary estimates that there are around 170,000 words in current use.

[00:04:39] So 40,000 of those apparently don't appear in Scrabble.

[00:04:42] So 130,000 words appear in Scrabble.

[00:04:45] What constitutes a Scrabble word?

[00:04:48] I don't know.

[00:04:48] Scrabble.

[00:04:49] I ain't in the Scrabble rulebook aficionado.

[00:04:52] We should get Scrabble.

[00:04:53] We should not get Scrabble.

[00:04:55] I don't care about words that much.

[00:04:57] But it's fun.

[00:04:58] Is it?

[00:04:59] It takes forever, man.

[00:05:01] I'll just Google what words are.

[00:05:03] You'd beat me.

[00:05:04] What do you mean I'd beat you?

[00:05:06] I just...

[00:05:07] I have like a lot of trouble thinking of words on the fly.

[00:05:10] What do you mean?

[00:05:11] Like...

[00:05:12] Like it takes me a really long time.

[00:05:14] And like I think I get pressured when I feel...

[00:05:17] When I play Scrabble.

[00:05:18] Why?

[00:05:19] You're just looking at letters.

[00:05:20] Because it takes me so long.

[00:05:21] People get mad and they're like just go.

[00:05:23] But it's like...

[00:05:24] No.

[00:05:24] You know who takes forever is my aunt.

[00:05:26] We used to play Scrabble with her.

[00:05:27] And she would take...

[00:05:28] She's competitive.

[00:05:29] Forever to think of a single word.

[00:05:32] It was bad.

[00:05:32] I'm like oh my gosh.

[00:05:34] It was fun.

[00:05:35] But it took forever.

[00:05:37] I liked that your family still had game nights.

[00:05:39] Even when you guys were like teenagers and stuff.

[00:05:41] Like my family stopped game nights when we like hit double digits.

[00:05:45] You guys had game nights?

[00:05:47] Yeah.

[00:05:47] When I was in elementary school.

[00:05:48] We played like Sari.

[00:05:53] And Uno a lot.

[00:05:56] Oh my god.

[00:05:56] My mom...

[00:05:57] If you play Uno on my mom, she'll fuck you up.

[00:05:59] Uno?

[00:06:00] Like my mom gets down to some Uno.

[00:06:02] Okay.

[00:06:03] Like she's competitive.

[00:06:04] And like she doesn't care.

[00:06:06] She hurts your feelings.

[00:06:07] Okay.

[00:06:08] Like...

[00:06:08] I don't think she cares outside of Uno either.

[00:06:11] But like you play a game with her and it's crazy.

[00:06:15] We never played anything like Monopoly or anything like that really in my family.

[00:06:20] Monopoly just took forever.

[00:06:22] Oh my gosh.

[00:06:23] We would have...

[00:06:26] I had like...

[00:06:27] I was in her like split custody when I was growing up.

[00:06:30] So I just wasn't at one house all the time.

[00:06:32] So we would start a game of Monopoly at one house and it would be there for a month because

[00:06:37] we would play it when we were there.

[00:06:39] But then we wouldn't when we weren't.

[00:06:40] So it just took forever.

[00:06:42] And we're like, we don't need that anymore.

[00:06:48] So...

[00:06:48] Did you do the intro?

[00:06:49] Yeah.

[00:06:50] When?

[00:06:51] And then you interrupted me.

[00:06:52] That's not true.

[00:06:53] Baby pigs would never interrupt like that.

[00:06:55] I said, welcome back to Mindless Prattle.

[00:06:57] What episode is it?

[00:06:58] 98.

[00:07:00] Why is there a question mark?

[00:07:02] Is it 98?

[00:07:03] Well, there's another question mark for you, I guess.

[00:07:06] I think we're on episode 98, but...

[00:07:09] If it's something different, somebody let her know.

[00:07:12] Is it 98 or not, Jordan?

[00:07:14] 98 or not.

[00:07:16] You know what episode it is?

[00:07:17] It's Hanukkah Christmas holiday episode.

[00:07:20] That's what it is.

[00:07:21] It's our holiday special.

[00:07:24] Let's not call it special.

[00:07:27] It's just regular.

[00:07:30] And we're...

[00:07:31] Well, that's not true.

[00:07:32] There's a little tism, so I guess it is kind of special.

[00:07:35] Just a little.

[00:07:37] Why'd you wince like that?

[00:07:38] I was trying to wink.

[00:07:40] Are you serious?

[00:07:44] No, you...

[00:07:46] No.

[00:07:47] That was not.

[00:07:50] It was those pigs that got farting.

[00:07:51] Oh my God.

[00:07:52] I swear.

[00:07:54] That was not a wink.

[00:07:56] Yeah, I was like...

[00:07:57] No, you...

[00:07:59] No.

[00:07:59] I don't...

[00:08:00] No.

[00:08:01] That's not what happened.

[00:08:03] No.

[00:08:04] What?

[00:08:08] I...

[00:08:10] No.

[00:08:11] I wasn't wincing.

[00:08:13] You looked like you were in pain.

[00:08:15] Yeah, I wasn't.

[00:08:18] It was like...

[00:08:21] It was like...

[00:08:24] Like a cat who was stuck in your mouth.

[00:08:27] God.

[00:08:32] Oh my God.

[00:08:33] What?

[00:08:35] Christ.

[00:08:38] That was not a wink.

[00:08:40] Okay.

[00:08:43] When do you think the last time that you used Snapchat was?

[00:08:48] Snapchat?

[00:08:49] Years.

[00:08:49] I have no idea why.

[00:08:51] Definitely like...

[00:08:51] Have you been sending me things on Snapchat?

[00:08:53] No.

[00:08:54] Okay.

[00:08:55] So, that worked the other day, right?

[00:08:57] And we had this issue where there was like a DoorDash order, right?

[00:09:01] And three people came to pick it up.

[00:09:03] And the first person that came showed us on his phone that he was there for that order.

[00:09:07] So, we gave it to him.

[00:09:08] I guess he just like stole the order because it never made it to a customer.

[00:09:12] So, finally like three people later that have been trying to come and pick up this order,

[00:09:17] we finally are like, oh, we'll just remake your order.

[00:09:19] Yeah.

[00:09:20] And put it together.

[00:09:21] And then the guy that's picking it up, he says something to me.

[00:09:26] And like I thought he was talking about the order.

[00:09:28] And I'm like, what?

[00:09:29] And he's like...

[00:09:32] Yeah.

[00:09:33] Okay.

[00:09:33] I was like...

[00:09:35] What?

[00:09:36] What?

[00:09:37] And he goes...

[00:09:40] Do you got Snapchat?

[00:09:44] Do you got Snapchat?

[00:09:46] And I was like, no, I don't.

[00:09:49] And he said, oh, you don't?

[00:09:51] And I said, no, thank you though.

[00:09:54] Thank you.

[00:09:56] And then he walked away and I was like...

[00:09:58] I turned around and my co-hacers were both...

[00:10:00] They're both men.

[00:10:01] They were both staring at me.

[00:10:02] And they were like, yeah.

[00:10:03] And I was like, shut up.

[00:10:05] Oh, my God.

[00:10:05] But like, also, I'm like almost 30.

[00:10:09] Why would I still use Snapchat?

[00:10:11] And this guy had to have been like no older than 20.

[00:10:14] I mean, you can still use Snapchat.

[00:10:17] I don't think the age is the issue.

[00:10:19] But that's still so funny.

[00:10:20] It was really awkward.

[00:10:21] And I was just like...

[00:10:22] Plus, we were talking about this order.

[00:10:25] So, like, I didn't really understand the transition from like, we're talking about this customer's order that hasn't been picked up to, can I get your Snapchat?

[00:10:35] And I was just like...

[00:10:36] So, was it a customer that was asking you that?

[00:10:38] Or was it like a DoorDash driver?

[00:10:39] No, it was like the DoorDash driver.

[00:10:40] Oh, okay.

[00:10:41] I was like...

[00:10:44] That was not anywhere near what I thought you were about to say.

[00:10:46] Because I thought it would be like, do you have my order?

[00:10:48] And you'd be like, what?

[00:10:49] And you're like, do you have my Snapchat?

[00:10:50] What?

[00:10:52] Yeah.

[00:10:52] He was saying something.

[00:10:53] At first, I thought he was making a joke about it all.

[00:10:55] And so, I was like, oh, yeah.

[00:10:56] Ha, ha, ha, ha.

[00:10:57] You know?

[00:10:57] And he was like, no.

[00:10:59] Like, Snapchat.

[00:11:00] I was like...

[00:11:01] Snapchat.

[00:11:01] Snapchat.

[00:11:02] No.

[00:11:02] Do I look like I have a Snapchat?

[00:11:04] But so, it made me curious.

[00:11:05] And I had to look it up.

[00:11:06] I don't think Snapchat's that out of style.

[00:11:10] It's not, actually.

[00:11:10] Yeah.

[00:11:11] But even...

[00:11:12] I asked a bunch of my coworkers, even the ones who are younger than me, and might know which

[00:11:18] apps are more popular, where it's like the 18 to 25 people.

[00:11:21] Sure, sure.

[00:11:23] So, I looked it up.

[00:11:24] At the second quarter of 2024, Snapchat has about 850 million monthly active users worldwide.

[00:11:30] Okay.

[00:11:32] In the user base, it's mostly the younger people.

[00:11:35] So, 48% of their US users are 15 to 25.

[00:11:39] Yeah, that would make sense to me.

[00:11:43] Mostly males use it, though.

[00:11:46] Like, about 50% worldwide.

[00:11:48] So, about almost half.

[00:11:50] But like, it's just slightly under half for female.

[00:11:56] But I just thought that was really interesting.

[00:11:57] And then, if you break it down further into age groups, it's 15 to 25 is 48%.

[00:12:02] 26 to 35 is 30.

[00:12:04] And then, age 56 and older is 5%.

[00:12:07] And then, it just stops there.

[00:12:09] So, like, they're just like, oh, 56 and older?

[00:12:11] You're all together.

[00:12:12] Like, the 80-year-old's on Snapchat?

[00:12:14] Nobody cares.

[00:12:17] And I just thought that was interesting.

[00:12:18] Like, because I wouldn't have even thought to, like...

[00:12:21] I just don't use Snapchat.

[00:12:23] Like, I don't need to hide things from my parents, you know?

[00:12:26] Is that what it's used for?

[00:12:28] To hide things from your parents?

[00:12:28] I feel like a lot of people do.

[00:12:29] Because, you know, it disappears.

[00:12:30] So, like, a lot of people use it to, like, hide messages or get rid of messages quickly.

[00:12:35] I mean, I guess.

[00:12:38] But I think it's also partially because it works on Wi-Fi.

[00:12:41] So, some people might use it in place of texting.

[00:12:45] I mean, I don't know.

[00:12:47] What is the main purpose for Snapchat?

[00:12:53] Let's look.

[00:12:54] The main purpose for Snapchat is to allow users to share photos and videos in a fun and spontaneous way with friends and family.

[00:13:00] What a lie.

[00:13:01] What a lie.

[00:13:03] That's...

[00:13:03] No, it's not.

[00:13:05] I don't think that's a great idea.

[00:13:07] You might be trying to rebrand, but...

[00:13:11] No.

[00:13:13] Things that are meant to disappear after they're viewed.

[00:13:15] Yes, that is the main reason.

[00:13:24] Yeah, so you can connect with family and friends.

[00:13:28] Is it?

[00:13:29] No.

[00:13:31] Connect with them how?

[00:13:32] No.

[00:13:33] Do you see a couple YouTubers ventured to Antarctica to prove Flat Earth?

[00:13:41] I did, but please tell the audience about it.

[00:13:44] No, go ahead.

[00:13:45] You guys...

[00:13:45] No, no, no, no.

[00:13:46] I don't have it in front of me.

[00:13:47] I don't either.

[00:13:48] Oh, my God.

[00:13:48] Yes, you do.

[00:13:49] Go ahead.

[00:13:50] No.

[00:13:51] Well, all right.

[00:13:53] Antarctica is the ice place, right?

[00:13:56] Not anymore, but...

[00:13:58] What do you mean not anymore?

[00:13:59] Is there not ice there?

[00:14:01] I don't know.

[00:14:02] I mean, you don't know.

[00:14:03] How are you going...

[00:14:04] How are you going to say not anymore and then you don't know?

[00:14:07] Are you looking up if ice is still there?

[00:14:09] I'm pretty sure I don't.

[00:14:10] I'm pretty sure if there was no ice left, you'd have heard about it.

[00:14:14] What are you Googling right now?

[00:14:15] Hey, I'm talking to you.

[00:14:17] I'm looking up if they still have ice.

[00:14:18] They do.

[00:14:19] It's a continent.

[00:14:20] It's decreasing, but they still have ice.

[00:14:22] It's not disappeared.

[00:14:23] If it was completely disappeared, you'd have heard about it.

[00:14:26] All right?

[00:14:29] I'm surprised that there's still ice in the world.

[00:14:32] Continue.

[00:14:33] Continue with what?

[00:14:34] Your story.

[00:14:35] Yeah, it's still cold at the poles and there's still ice there.

[00:14:38] That's the whole story.

[00:14:39] No, that was not the whole story.

[00:14:40] It is now because now you didn't believe that there was ice at the North and South Pole.

[00:14:46] That's what you had to look up now.

[00:14:47] What happened with the flat earth?

[00:14:49] Ice on earth?

[00:14:52] Question mark.

[00:14:54] What?

[00:14:54] 10% of land area is covered with ice?

[00:14:58] Wow, that's crazy.

[00:15:00] Only 10?

[00:15:01] I mean, only 10.

[00:15:02] Were you hoping it was 90?

[00:15:04] No.

[00:15:05] Well, then why are you so upset about 10?

[00:15:07] Because I want to do Christmas.

[00:15:10] No.

[00:15:11] What are you...

[00:15:13] It's currently the 21st.

[00:15:15] You are not allowed to do Christmas.

[00:15:17] Why?

[00:15:17] Because it's the 21st.

[00:15:19] I'm glad you listened to the whole sentence.

[00:15:20] We can do it early.

[00:15:22] No.

[00:15:22] And then we'll be so happy on Christmas.

[00:15:25] You think you'll be sad on Christmas when you open presents?

[00:15:28] I hope not.

[00:15:29] Well, then what are you worried about?

[00:15:30] What is like the top reasons people are sad on Christmas, do you think?

[00:15:33] Dead family.

[00:15:36] Okay, family feud.

[00:15:38] What?

[00:15:44] I was thinking like money problems.

[00:15:50] What is the main reason people are sad on Christmas?

[00:15:54] Feelings of loneliness, grief from loss of loved ones.

[00:15:56] I was right.

[00:15:57] Ooh.

[00:15:58] Dead family.

[00:15:59] Dead family.

[00:16:00] I was right.

[00:16:00] Number one answer.

[00:16:01] Top of the board, Steve.

[00:16:02] All right.

[00:16:03] Financial stress.

[00:16:04] Unrealistic expectations.

[00:16:06] That's me.

[00:16:07] Perfect holiday cheer.

[00:16:10] I'm only mostly happy because there's only somewhat ice.

[00:16:13] Therefore, the holidays are ruined.

[00:16:15] Seasonal affective disorder.

[00:16:18] Seasonal affective disorder.

[00:16:20] I don't know if you...

[00:16:20] That me.

[00:16:21] Sad.

[00:16:23] Seasonal affective...

[00:16:24] Who named that acronym?

[00:16:26] No, literally.

[00:16:27] The first time I heard about it, I was like, great.

[00:16:30] Holiday fatigue, such as overcommitment and lack of downtime.

[00:16:36] Overcommitment to what?

[00:16:38] Juggling parties, shopping, and preparations can lead to exhaustion and burnout around the holiday times.

[00:16:43] That's any time of year.

[00:16:45] I don't feel like that's specific to holidays.

[00:16:48] Cultural or religious differences.

[00:16:51] Your religion is different from mine, so I'm sad at Christmas.

[00:16:54] Those who don't celebrate Christmas may feel left out or alienated in predominantly Christian societies.

[00:17:00] What do you think?

[00:17:03] What did I think?

[00:17:04] What?

[00:17:06] Going back to family.

[00:17:08] I typed in why does in Google.

[00:17:12] Can you guess some of the autocompletes?

[00:17:16] Why does my cat act like that?

[00:17:19] No, that is not one.

[00:17:20] Okay.

[00:17:21] What is one?

[00:17:22] All right.

[00:17:22] Top of the board here.

[00:17:25] Why does my eye keep twitching?

[00:17:30] It's got to be like you, though, right?

[00:17:32] Like if I do the same thing...

[00:17:33] No, no, no.

[00:17:34] Don't...

[00:17:34] You don't get to look, all right?

[00:17:35] You got to guess.

[00:17:37] What do you think the second one is?

[00:17:40] I'll tell you...

[00:17:40] I'll give you a hint.

[00:17:41] It happened to me earlier this week.

[00:17:44] I didn't Google it, but this happened to me.

[00:17:48] Go on.

[00:17:50] Why do I have diarrhea?

[00:17:53] No.

[00:17:54] No.

[00:17:54] But you're close.

[00:17:55] It's why does my stomach hurt?

[00:17:58] And then followed after that, why does my head hurt?

[00:18:02] Me.

[00:18:03] Number four.

[00:18:03] I don't think you would get number four.

[00:18:06] Number four just says, why does osmosis occur?

[00:18:10] That's very specific.

[00:18:12] And then we're right back on track.

[00:18:15] Why does my lower back hurt?

[00:18:17] Me too, buddy.

[00:18:18] Me too.

[00:18:18] Yeah.

[00:18:19] This one was you.

[00:18:20] Why does my throat hurt when I swallow?

[00:18:27] Why does it burn when I pee?

[00:18:31] Why does my chest hurt?

[00:18:33] Why does my heart hurt?

[00:18:35] You need to go to the hospital, buddy.

[00:18:42] All right.

[00:18:43] Give me the first couple words to a question.

[00:18:45] I'm going to put them in Google.

[00:18:47] How is?

[00:18:48] How is what?

[00:18:49] What is your question?

[00:18:52] The moon.

[00:18:53] How is the moon?

[00:18:54] That's your question.

[00:18:55] And then whatever it autofills.

[00:18:56] How is the moon?

[00:18:58] All right.

[00:18:59] What do you think autofill is for how is?

[00:19:02] How is the moon up there?

[00:19:06] Okay.

[00:19:07] It's not what you would ask.

[00:19:08] It's what the top answer is.

[00:19:09] How is the moon up there?

[00:19:11] How is the moon so bright?

[00:19:13] No.

[00:19:14] Oh.

[00:19:14] No.

[00:19:16] No.

[00:19:18] Top one is how is electrical energy produced?

[00:19:22] Okay.

[00:19:23] How is total revenue calculated?

[00:19:26] This one.

[00:19:28] This one's you.

[00:19:28] How is the weather?

[00:19:36] Next one.

[00:19:37] How is E. coli transmitted?

[00:19:40] That's an important thing to know.

[00:19:42] How is a compound different from a molecule?

[00:19:45] How is it actually?

[00:19:47] I don't remember.

[00:19:48] I don't know.

[00:19:52] The next one.

[00:19:55] How is harassment different from bullying?

[00:20:01] Also good to know.

[00:20:04] And then how is HIV transmitted?

[00:20:07] Harassment often takes place in public as a means of peer approval or image building.

[00:20:12] Usually bullying takes place in private without witnesses.

[00:20:16] Target seen as easily victimized.

[00:20:20] A target seen as threat that must be dominated.

[00:20:24] I don't know if that's.

[00:20:25] I don't know if that's.

[00:20:28] Bullying is not always in the private.

[00:20:30] It's usually.

[00:20:31] No, no.

[00:20:31] That's the difference between.

[00:20:33] According to the University of Southampton.

[00:20:36] No, I don't think they're right.

[00:20:39] That's a terrible definition.

[00:20:40] According to the Pacer Society, the difference between bullying and harassment is that when

[00:20:45] the bullying behavior directed at the target is also based on a protect.

[00:20:51] A protected class.

[00:20:53] That behavior is designed as harassment.

[00:20:57] Yeah, that makes sense.

[00:21:00] I like how.

[00:21:02] The number four.

[00:21:04] The number four answer is get help now to stop being bullied.

[00:21:10] That's stop bullying.gov.

[00:21:12] Why is that the number four?

[00:21:13] Hey, you better have read this fucking far for you to get help.

[00:21:16] Yeah, I don't.

[00:21:17] OK.

[00:21:48] What?

[00:21:49] Followed by who is Bill Gates?

[00:21:51] Followed by who is Gossip Girl?

[00:21:55] Such an old show to ask that.

[00:21:59] Joe from you is Gossip Girl.

[00:22:04] You laugh, but that's literally can't.

[00:22:06] Like, that's true.

[00:22:07] The guy who plays Joe in Gossip Girl is Gossip Girl in Gossip Girl.

[00:22:12] Oh, right.

[00:22:14] Wasn't it like during the final season, they just kind of decided that it would be.

[00:22:18] Yeah, no.

[00:22:19] Like, they never hinted at it.

[00:22:20] And they were just like, it's him, by the way.

[00:22:22] They super wrecked on it.

[00:22:23] And then, like, oh, God.

[00:22:26] And the thing with that was if you watch the show, like, his little sister gets, like,

[00:22:33] super fucking bullied by Gossip Girl and, like, her reputation destroyed and stuff.

[00:22:37] And it's like, would you really treat your little sister like that?

[00:22:40] Like, if that was true?

[00:22:41] Yeah.

[00:22:41] Hey, you got to uphold appearances, man.

[00:22:43] That's, you know.

[00:22:44] I just.

[00:22:46] It's not a good show, but it's an entertaining show.

[00:22:50] Isn't.

[00:22:53] Who's one of the main characters in that?

[00:22:55] The actress.

[00:22:55] Blake Lively.

[00:22:56] Yeah, that's who I'm thinking of.

[00:22:58] Yeah, Blake Lively.

[00:23:00] And then.

[00:23:02] Go on.

[00:23:03] I want to say Blair Waldorf.

[00:23:05] That's the character name.

[00:23:07] Blair Witch?

[00:23:08] She's been in a lot of stuff.

[00:23:09] And I can't remember her, like, name.

[00:23:14] Leighton Meester.

[00:23:15] Who?

[00:23:16] Leighton Meester.

[00:23:17] She was in Country Strong.

[00:23:19] Of course.

[00:23:20] Yes.

[00:23:21] She's been in a few scary movies.

[00:23:23] You would recognize her if you looked her up.

[00:23:27] Leighton Meester.

[00:23:28] Wow.

[00:23:28] I didn't spell that right at all.

[00:23:30] Herster?

[00:23:31] Who's her?

[00:23:32] I do not recognize her.

[00:23:34] Really?

[00:23:34] Who is that?

[00:23:36] I don't.

[00:23:39] I don't know who that is.

[00:23:41] No, I have no idea who this is.

[00:23:42] You haven't seen Country Strong?

[00:23:43] What is that?

[00:23:45] It's a movie about a country music star and addiction.

[00:23:50] It's really sad.

[00:23:52] Yeah, why would I watch that?

[00:23:53] I own it on Amazon if you want to watch it with me sometime.

[00:23:56] I don't.

[00:23:56] And you did not sell it.

[00:23:58] Mm-mm.

[00:23:59] The music and it's really good, but I cry every time I watch it.

[00:24:05] I'm saying Gossip Girl, That's My Boy, The Roommate, Monte Carlo, The Weekend Away, The Oranges, The Judge, Xmas, River Wild, Country Strong, Single Parents, Life Partners.

[00:24:19] I have not seen any of those.

[00:24:22] Literally none of them.

[00:24:23] I don't know what you're talking about.

[00:24:24] I was like, how are you recognizing?

[00:24:25] She put out some music too.

[00:24:26] I don't.

[00:24:27] Oh, thank goodness.

[00:24:29] That'll help me recognize her.

[00:24:37] It's Christmas this week.

[00:24:38] Are you excited for Christmas?

[00:24:39] I want it to be Christmas now.

[00:24:41] That's not what I asked.

[00:24:42] I'm so excited.

[00:24:44] You could hear the excitement in her voice.

[00:24:46] I'm so excited I want it to be Christmas now.

[00:24:48] See, that's a little bit more better now.

[00:24:51] A little bit more better.

[00:24:52] A little bit more better now.

[00:24:53] I am.

[00:24:57] What are you excited for for Christmas?

[00:25:01] For Christmas?

[00:25:02] Getting off work.

[00:25:03] That'll be nice.

[00:25:05] As soon as I'm done working for the day.

[00:25:07] What's one gift that you really hope you got?

[00:25:10] I don't know what I asked for this year.

[00:25:12] I'll be honest.

[00:25:13] I asked for things so long ago.

[00:25:15] I really need a hammer.

[00:25:18] I've been low on hammer ever since.

[00:25:22] I don't have a hammer.

[00:25:23] Low on hammer.

[00:25:24] Yeah.

[00:25:24] I don't know why.

[00:25:25] I just don't have a hammer for some reason.

[00:25:28] We're low on hammer.

[00:25:29] Yeah.

[00:25:29] The whole household is low on hammer.

[00:25:31] I got to start saying.

[00:25:32] What is the average number of hammers per house?

[00:25:35] That's a really interesting question.

[00:25:42] I don't know.

[00:25:45] Hammers per house.

[00:25:47] How many hammers is normal?

[00:25:49] Okay.

[00:25:50] Can I just imagine some guy frantically Googling?

[00:25:53] How many hammers is normal to own?

[00:25:55] Do I own too many?

[00:25:57] I don't know.

[00:25:59] Okay.

[00:26:00] That's not what I want.

[00:26:01] Not the most common type of hammer.

[00:26:04] That's not what I planned.

[00:26:06] Why is this first thing says, I roughly estimate that I have between 30 to 40 hammers.

[00:26:12] Why do you have so many hammers?

[00:26:15] That's not normal.

[00:26:18] That's too many.

[00:26:19] That's too many.

[00:26:20] Are you a blacksmith?

[00:26:22] Why do you have so many hammers?

[00:26:23] Even if you were a blacksmith, I feel like you wouldn't need 30 at a time.

[00:26:27] Oh, here you go.

[00:26:28] This is from Reddit.

[00:26:29] How many hammers is too many hammers?

[00:26:36] There's no one answering.

[00:26:40] This is my favorite one.

[00:26:42] Snitches get hammers.

[00:26:43] I've been in the HVAC trade for over 28 years.

[00:26:47] And let me tell you, any tool with a flat surface is a hammer.

[00:26:50] Just hit it.

[00:26:53] You know, I'm the same though.

[00:26:55] When I was a kid, my parents wouldn't let me use hammers.

[00:26:56] So like, I would just find random flat objects to help me hang shit up in my room without their permission.

[00:27:03] I mean, it works.

[00:27:04] How many cats is too many cats?

[00:27:06] Three.

[00:27:08] So if we get one more, then we're good.

[00:27:11] It's too many.

[00:27:11] No, three is too many.

[00:27:13] That's what you just asked.

[00:27:14] But how many cats is too many?

[00:27:15] Three.

[00:27:16] Three is too many.

[00:27:16] I just think we'd really enjoy a third.

[00:27:19] Wow.

[00:27:20] I just think this conversation is over.

[00:27:22] No.

[00:27:24] See how there was a question mark at the end?

[00:27:26] Because you didn't know.

[00:27:27] But now we know.

[00:27:28] But like, why?

[00:27:30] Why is three too many?

[00:27:32] That's what I heard from you.

[00:27:33] Two is too many.

[00:27:34] All right.

[00:27:35] No, it's not.

[00:27:35] Yes, it is.

[00:27:36] It's like the same as having one.

[00:27:38] They just keep each other company.

[00:27:40] No, they don't.

[00:27:41] They play with each other like once a day for like 20 minutes.

[00:27:45] And then the rest of the time, they bug the shit out of me or you.

[00:27:47] That's not the same as having one.

[00:27:50] I was literally trying to make breakfast this morning and your cat wouldn't shut the hell up.

[00:27:54] She just kept meowing at me.

[00:27:56] And I'm like, I need you to go away so I can make breakfast.

[00:27:58] And she's just jumping around in circles.

[00:27:59] And I'm like.

[00:28:00] They were like, why aren't you paying attention to me?

[00:28:03] Why isn't mom awake?

[00:28:04] I know.

[00:28:05] They were like, did you kill her?

[00:28:06] Is she dead?

[00:28:07] Can I eat her?

[00:28:07] Let's go.

[00:28:08] I'm like, no.

[00:28:09] Go away.

[00:28:09] Like, sorry.

[00:28:10] I think the other one was mad that I wasn't going to bed last night because I was in the

[00:28:14] shower at like two in the morning.

[00:28:16] And she got in the shower and started meowing at me.

[00:28:18] And I think she was mad that I wasn't asleep.

[00:28:20] And I was like, what do you want from me?

[00:28:21] I'm trying to relax.

[00:28:22] I went to work late today.

[00:28:26] But it's like she got mad that I was disrupting my schedule.

[00:28:29] No, I know.

[00:28:30] You changed schedules on her.

[00:28:31] They're finally starting to learn that in the morning when my alarm goes off, if I don't

[00:28:36] get up to feed them, they'll just come over and sit next to me and just go.

[00:28:40] Yeah.

[00:28:41] And I'm like, oh, you need food?

[00:28:42] And then I'll get up and they'll just go sit next to their bowl and watch me.

[00:28:45] Like, yes, you do not need to scream at me.

[00:28:47] Like, I will make sure that you have food again.

[00:28:52] They've been scarred before.

[00:28:54] It's okay.

[00:28:58] Oregon bat named Horry Potter wins Bizarre Beauty Contest.

[00:29:05] Horry?

[00:29:06] H-O-A-R-Y.

[00:29:08] How do you say that?

[00:29:09] There's only five letters.

[00:29:11] I don't...

[00:29:12] Horry.

[00:29:14] This victory marks the third year in a row that a bat from Oregon has taken first place

[00:29:19] in the Bureau of Land Management's annual bat beauty contest.

[00:29:23] On Halloween, which is also the last day of International Bat Week, a Horry bat with a

[00:29:29] feisty personality named Horry Potter defeated Lestat, the Western small-footed bat from Idaho.

[00:29:35] In the final round of the contest, it also bested a Townsend's big-eared bat named Sir

[00:29:41] Flapsalot from Utah.

[00:29:43] Sir Flapsalot?

[00:29:45] Yeah.

[00:29:49] Do you know how they test animals for rabies?

[00:29:53] Put water near them?

[00:29:55] I don't know.

[00:29:57] How?

[00:29:57] It might be too gruesome to talk about, actually, on the podcast.

[00:30:01] I wanted to see if you knew first.

[00:30:03] The answer is no, I don't.

[00:30:05] Okay.

[00:30:06] Let me just make sure I'm right.

[00:30:08] I want to make sure I remember correctly, but...

[00:30:11] Okay.

[00:30:13] I thought you knew.

[00:30:15] I do.

[00:30:19] Yeah.

[00:30:19] So basically, they euthanize the animal, and then they chop its head off, and then they

[00:30:25] test their brain for the presence of the rabies iris.

[00:30:29] Why was that too gruesome?

[00:30:31] I just feel bad talking about animals getting their head chopped off.

[00:30:35] Okay.

[00:30:37] They're looking for new ways to do so without killing them, but it just makes me feel kind

[00:30:44] of bad for all the animals that didn't have rabies that got their head chopped off for

[00:30:48] no reason.

[00:30:49] Well, it's not for no reason.

[00:30:51] A majority of the time, if you get bitten by an animal, and you either kill or capture

[00:30:54] the animal, they'll test it for rabies, and that's when they'll do that.

[00:30:58] They're not just going around grabbing random animals, but like, do you have rabies?

[00:31:01] Yeah, but there's...

[00:31:01] A lot of people also say, if you find a bat anywhere in your house, you should get it

[00:31:05] tested for rabies and get a vaccine and all that sort of stuff, and it's like...

[00:31:09] Yeah.

[00:31:09] That's not fair.

[00:31:10] If you find an animal near you or near other, like your pets or whatever, and it's an animal

[00:31:17] that has a higher than normal average carry rate for rabies, yeah, get it tested.

[00:31:22] I'm not just going to be like, oh, ha ha, a bat in our house.

[00:31:24] It's cool.

[00:31:25] And the cats are trying to fuck with it and trying to attack it, and then the bat flies

[00:31:30] away.

[00:31:30] I'm not going to be like, well, the cats are fine.

[00:31:32] Everything's fine now.

[00:31:33] You would want it tested, right?

[00:31:35] I guess, yeah.

[00:31:37] Exactly.

[00:31:37] All right.

[00:31:38] Flipped her script on that one.

[00:31:39] So there are three cats are happy.

[00:31:40] Yeah.

[00:31:42] And then the one dies of rabies, so we're back to two.

[00:31:45] No.

[00:31:46] Well, I mean, that's just what happens.

[00:31:47] They don't need to die.

[00:31:49] Okay.

[00:31:49] What do you think is going to happen with the rabies?

[00:31:54] There will be no rabies, please.

[00:31:56] Exactly.

[00:31:57] We're going to chop the head off and test first.

[00:32:00] We're not going to have any rabies and no testing.

[00:32:05] Just nothing.

[00:32:07] Right, right, right, right, right, right, right.

[00:32:09] Well.

[00:32:10] Well's where you get the water from.

[00:32:12] Thanks for playing.

[00:32:13] Well.

[00:32:14] Well, well, well.

[00:32:16] Well, that's going to do it for her this week.

[00:32:19] You got to do the outro.

[00:32:21] I was in the middle of it.

[00:32:22] Well, hurry up.

[00:32:23] And then you've ruined it.

[00:32:24] Yeah.

[00:32:25] Now I'll wait.

[00:32:26] You know, you still haven't blessed us with an accent other than...

[00:32:29] I don't know how to do one.

[00:32:31] Go on.

[00:32:35] I'll be shooting for my own hand.

[00:32:37] Yeah, you said that already.

[00:32:39] I can't do anything else.

[00:32:41] This has been Milo Sprattle.

[00:32:43] I'm your host, Jordan.

[00:32:44] That's the other lady, Liripi.

[00:32:46] She's been talking about things, mainly about pigs and bats and things.

[00:32:50] I think she's obsessed with animals, but only because of her seasonal affective disorder.

[00:32:56] And if you do celebrate Christmas, Merry Christmas, you celebrate something else.

[00:33:00] That's cool, too.

[00:33:01] I don't.

[00:33:02] But you're welcome to it.

[00:33:03] I believe in you.

[00:33:05] That's going to do it for us this week.

[00:33:06] I hope you had fun.

[00:33:07] I know we did.

[00:33:08] And we will see you all next week.

[00:33:10] Goodbye.
