334. Medical Dog

And then we've got Ficdom with a that's funny how, Alex. This isn't the show. This looks a lot like going to Bellum's B-E-L-L-M. But I mean this is all inside. Did I mention that it was pretty definitely a chihuahua mix? There's there's piggy banks, because apparently it's funny to put your future in a pig. I just have a lot of problems. This might be Colin Versailles. It taught me a lot. And when they they start eating there's the turkey's in the toilet and the cat starts licking and Linda's like, oh Yeah, but Patty's talking about how he used to have problems and they have bad dreams. What the fuck? No, not that kind No, no, I mean more like in a Sarah Sarah Paulson step on me way. So you borrowed it from him last Wednesday?

But I spent the last six weeks uh putting Arby's horsey sauce into my pants and then uh riding uh not a horse, but more of a griffin. Well, why don't you just suck a bag of dicks, man? From pushing me too far. And I don't usually like to reveal these things, but this is also where the title of that playlist comes from. I don't think you understand. I'm pulling off the road, I'm opening the door, I'm giving you the pavement, I'm telling you what for. Um cues, some really, really sad chairs. That was pretty cool. And you'd be like, what? And I was like, you know the dog did not pick it up. So we all know it's not an um okay personal. uh to old ninety sevens, but you don't have any way to actually physically close your hormones.

Um the person called Bellum really liked cars and really liked things that make music. Oh, yeah. Okay, I'll send you this. I can hear you a little bit, but it's not funny. That's like reading about rumors for something we'll know in a week. See now the pig one the pig thing is particularly upsetting. My grandma is particularly upsetting. It sucks. Uh yeah, that's a Marilyn Monroe pig and then a Queen Elizabeth. It's that's a bummer. Oh okay, so so you're are you looking at Saracet Classic Car Museum? of Bauhaus's cover of Bowie Ziggy Startups. Uh let's do the challenge. She had kind of a Claire Danes thing going on. It's the love that dare not speak its name, Alex. trying to pick up the tweezers with the tweezers because it's not as simple as set a nine minute pasta timer.

Okay. S so if I had never heard of this van, that is what I should go to, right? Hmm. That's a really good idea. i they were disconnected uh from you and their other co-hosts. And it didn't work. life. In general introduction to Big Star. I did the I I did the um uh Leo meme of like I I know them. Now my super chunk, and I I've got I've got a uh I got a rubric, I got a codex, you know, I got a wild one. Uh and notice I didn't say like me. So so the thing is, I want you to like myself, or if you like me, to be able to enjoy this band the way that I have. And the um what you're doing is you're using the it's a phrase they use in England. And what Richard Thompson says is let me ride on the wall of death one more time.

Because there's there's walls in a in a pussy. And the grapes. He literally collected traits. He's very enjoys very much seems to enjoy the John Deere brand of tractor. Peebe related to Star Wars that a kid his kid wants to go to. If you said to somebody, Oh, there's this amazing like John Rodder's talking about how there's um this thing that's going on at EMP. You can buy these on Amazon. It larger than a keychain, smaller than a crossing guard sign, but a giant plastic sign that had a little iconic cartoon hand pending a dog and a buster over it. Second, don't pet me sign on the dog. Medical dog title. No, no, don't look at me. Yeah. Oh fuck. How could this be possible? I don't know who that is.

Bryce Building True True Anon. In the 1970s, one of the students published a guide on how to climb every building on campus. I don't want to. classic car museum. So I was inspired by that. just was. They're not dead yet. Well if you think that's fucked up, did you see the two uh photos I just sent you? Uh It's so good to be in Wales doing some shopping. You're not at the Pig Pig Palace right now. They like fun. Sad and mad. is sometimes remember to periodically ask yourself, remember I said I wanted this. I don't read I don't read advice anymore. recognize this. Interesting. Kind of wacky looking Lego looking buildings. My friend Dave used to work for an national c rental car there and so a couple of my friends would work there and like the main job new college students would get there was, you know, like cars come back, you clean 'em out, you wash them, you get 'em ready for the next time to go out and Do it.

Which land? You're testing stuff out on Android for what? And but the biggest thing is for short bits of text, it's absolutely the easiest way to get something onto the phone. Just despite years of doing this stuff with voice assistants, despite knowing that I could do that at any point with Siri. I mean, it's still I don't know how to describe this except to say that it's still up to even to this day, to this hour, still requires a slight modal shift in how I'm thinking that That's gonna seem very simple, but it's so ridiculously powerful. in an app called any list where it knows what stores I can buy soy sauce at. how to say this to make it go where it goes and then the tech behind the scenes does all the work.

with it. Oh yeah, look good job spending twenty minutes doing something on ChatGPT. And more as a functional way to guide you into a future that makes a fuck ton of sense. Crave. On the one hand, the habituation, the learning, the knowledge, the like the knowledge because I'm Christopher Walken. I mean some people are kind of like that, but the person who's closest in spirit in almost every way to how I text is Syracusa, um, in all those boring ways and in some less boring ways. Just just j whenever you read some whatever someone says on the internet, assume that they're uh a alone, just a little drunk and about ten pounds heavier than I no, I I just always assume that they are on a toilet. And I you understand I fucking love my phone and I'm great at it.

Oh so wait, wait, you you referenced the Google Hub and the the dictation of actions, Lamau. Four, Siri dictation has come versus Android. Shit man, I could have a career right now if I let somebody ghost wrap my book. Or whatever and I go. Mm music mouth noises. A must have been straight. Saw I unironically. I can turn it on. I um I'm I'm waiting to hear uh the old ninety-sevens. Here we go. This week's challenge, talk to your phone. Hi Marlon. I just again the whore and the mouth. A gentle introduction to the police. great you're going nowhere when you're right on a carousel and maybe you're strong but what's the good of ringing a bell the switchback which is a roller coaster All the world is far from me.

watch it someday. Y you've seen pictures of my grandpa's farm, right? He's he's sold off all of his tra uh tractors and and whatnot because uh the man's in his eighties. Uh tell another fable. And they loved each other very much. Cool, this looks like a regional Florida museum. I tip to do. Listen, his lucky charms did is very funny. There's tractors, director chairs cars, and there's uh if you if you I know you're not a Zoom. And a front to all that is holy on this planet, there are so many fucking cute pigs. Right? And they all say don't sit on them. But I mean it's also like I saw a dog yesterday and you know I've s sometimes so it's it's not enough that you make your dare dog wear a fucking vest that claims that it is No, my dog is working.

You do I mean you're like you're like you're like you but like you're the saddest like anorexic sophomore girl where you're like please pay so much attention to me and yet no attention to me. food. Being an hour and a half early. And and there's two passions this person had in life. Two cars on top of it. I and then I don't know like 1910s car some somewhere. Cars or um you know, whatever, uh representations of cars. Yeah y oh I know. I don't know, Utah campground version of uh of a Fred Flintstone car. Or or is it because it was uh yeah, nineteen eighty-six. In this economy. Can can you hear me more? Okay, cool, cool, cool. Like as a oh, as in they are in a future episode. And don't be a prig.

And like it's but like the idea of like there's one here that looks like it's a mama pig with her little suckling babies. What's the matter, Albert? Yep. There are people who have every right. via a path of constant outrage about things over which they have no control. What whole thing that I'm doing? Yeah. called PCPs and the area around that uh making that little severance looking shape is uh a wall around there and on Friday nights we have parties that are called wall parties or just go go into the wall And yet there it is. Wait, this is a re I have never flown into this airport. that I went to about knocking down a bunch of trees to put in a parking lot for the selfsame airport. The paradise put up a national rental car.

Oh place. I I or think so, but you could And then Rocky Karaoke gave her uh Rocky Karaoke gave her a footrub. uh footrub, but then again, there are so many upsetting images. And it's just it's so upsetting. stuff out. Learning that your brother works at Google, which is a thing I've now known for almost forty-five seconds, and the fact that he gave you or didn't Well, he's a contractor. Why is this so weird? I think it's come a really long way. Sorry, this is real quick, but I think this this is I need to get this out. Like I could do that in my sleep, right? Now go. Hey, hey Dingus, um now wait. And if I say note this, it'll only add it to it. You you need to use something outside of reminders, like a shortcut or or whatever.

Of the app, any list. takes more effort and learning on my part, a surprising amount of learning, effort, and habituation. Fucking hate those uh That's a it's okay but it's just a thing. And like, but I I this last week, I agree with you, making finding myself, no, making myself do this more has been great. uh just an unalloyed good thing in my life and then the 10 or 20 percent where I'm a little bit on the fence on things having to do with aesthetics and reliability and modal shifts. So, um, like say I could say something, write something to my family that's like, um, let's see, whatever. Uh, if I can get home early enough, or something that requires something that requires quotes, or I've mentioned the title of something, and it doesn't get the title of something right.

Like it it like doesn't do title case, which is fine. Stuff like new line and new paragraph work great. You know, in one of those like kidnapping situations is like it's the middle of the night and we're talking about something that no one cares about. uh things are in quotes where where necessary. you know, we we don't have to say like did you get it? Well, uh on a uh alone on a toilet. Absolutely. publisher say? No, no, no. What is that? Okay, so the cover's gonna be weed stalks. Um, no, no, I'm all fine. Like I bring up a box and I hand the box or I bring up an envelope on a hand the envelope and she goes, Oh, this is like my panty coupons. Reopen your whore mouth. Am I in trouble? Um, nobody sees me on the internet anymore.

uh torn in half. I have my reasons. Almost all of them assume you know nothing about this band. like fair and they use that as an analogy for the relationship. You understand what I'm saying? And one time he talked to me for an hour about a screenplay that was the basis for his Lord of the Rings style series about Gilligan's Island. Oh. I love him very much. That's that's where the museum is, right? Oh she loves dinosaurs. on on this show, I don't like pork. Large size stuffy, uh uh what you you youngsters now call a plush, whatever that means. You ever seen a photo of me tripping and sitting in a Fred Flintstone car? It's fun. And then I'm sitting on it, uh, wearing a bandana on my head and a meat puppet shirt.

You you present a hat and then you put little feathers in it that it's I put hats on rats. say I don't know what that's a direct reference to, but just rather than I'm going to do that. See it's from either it's from either Sandy Can Can Fry. No, well it'll be you know what? met my very autistic grandma and then it was like in high school and then it was like okay it's it's fine like it just The two of them were normal and perfect for each other, which sounds like a uh perfect uh like lovely little match until you see how all of their kids and grandkids turned out. I can do this. Hello! uh that they like being angry, but they really wanna have fun. And Dave stole National Rent A Car shirts for all five of us.

Yeah, that was very bond. This week's challenge was to talk to your phone. So much better and so much easier n to understand because I It's such a relief for me. To say that iOS's dictation has gotten so much better than Android's over the years, where Android has kind of been stagnant. You know what I mean? It's gonna be confused. things that I have to know. What what do you mean about uh aesthetics in the world? I sent I I dictated something. 'Cause really messages is such an interesting place to use this. And Merlin still typed this perfectly with no spelling punctuation or grammatical errors, and everything is in the proper uh capitalization. They would have a minute with whatever passes for a thought at this point.

You sound a little bit like Congress right now. Uh but d do you use the like uh hey Dingus, text blah blah blah. Uh tell Madeline XYZ. No, it's not what I'm saying at all. You alright? Mm-hmm. And uh and in this wonderful song called Wall of Death that that some of you pieces of shit will only know as something that REM covered. I guess. Because like I told you, uh uh oh no, no, I'm not. And um anybody from Sarasota out there or from Central Florida, Bellums, Cars and Music of Yesteryear Oh you know where it was? Right? Well, why did it stop being useful? I'm not finding it. car museum? Yeah, yeah. I I hmm I'm not even like the spoiler guy. um stop hogging the blanket, right? Cut that out. Cause you know you know how uh uh God bless her, uh God save the queen.

Hey! And that's where our mailboxes were. So um we had a band called the Righteous Surf Fucks and Dave stole us all Wait, what what was it called? Yeah. But there's what'd you say? being functional and being on my iPhone and being on my Mac. fun and um that's that shows that you that you don't take life seriously lol? dictation device I have, especially now that Dragon Dictation isn't around the Android mole. I'm telling me to own your brother Wall. write or to have Siri dictation r quote unquote write something for me, that's already like I'm it's hard for me to do that. Yeah. Oh. How many how many toothpicks? Yeah, yeah. Nope, you're like Lifestyle Dinosaur Island. But this is very let me see if bellums is still open.

My friend Chris Colton. about the semiotic notion of pig. So you go to that Esplanade and then you get to go up to you see Hamilton Center. Fucks. Yeah, exactly. Yes. a functional sentence and make sure I get it right, otherwise I feel like an idiot. There's the idea of creating kind of your own syntax. up the infrastructure to add a use a really simple word to add it to a list to like um add something to a list that will remind you to do something at a location You know what I mean? My pentacoupons. What song made you fall in love with Old 97s? Okay. I'm enjoying the chaos. I couldn't I you know how much discipline it took to not make a pussy joke about the the wall's death? You can waste your time on the other right, Owen ow, no, the s nearest to be alive.

Some representation just audibly said yes. I'm I I think um something something retro, so uh something old old timey. Yeah, grandma's watching. Nice thing about college. And so you'll see then um and there's an it's called the esplanade is that little um stretch of paving on the way and then in the middle you see like a square of trees in the middle. My brother has an Android phone and lent it to me. That if you add that on top of I forget that I can even do this, I think it's not surprising. I could tell you very specifically for me. Or it's technically like a slide down a lighthouse. Are you wearing that bandana on your head uh uh was mm, how do I say this? I didn't have enough balance in my life.

Ride up the wall ride your motorcycle up my wall. They're so smart. Yep. Big me. um explains a lot of why I don't do it more. We're always getting into rap battles. These images have been on the internet forever and ever. Really, I think, much better. Clown Lamau. You're getting smaller in my rear view mirror. Um I have one on Old 97s. Yeah, one of the other ones? There's a lot of um I don't know what the scale is. Oh wow. So like it's all like curated different chairs. Oh god, when you see it in map view, I'm sorry, in um satellite view, you really see how close it is. You killed our children. Everyone wanted no one wanted to enter that moon door. But anyway, the aesthetic to answer your question though, sorry.

Oh god. Oh no. You want to hear the good part? Alright, I will listen. I I I don't know what you're you're you're looking at. And I'm holding up a sign, and the sign says, kids, this is your dad when he was 21, love dad. I want to go sleep. Right up the right. Um what's what's Daddy's kingdom? I there I didn't get into the accessibility. Sometimes I say the wrong device hailing and that gets silly. He's a he's a really was he a really great guy? From pushing me too far. One hour without pausing. You can see like section by section his hyper. And uh New College S-A-R-A-N. No, those are Nikes. Uh doesn't make them happy. You just gotta wear less flannel. You mean there's two synchronicities? You think you maybe don't like the police that much?

One time one time one time um we we were he he's he's a dear boy and we love him and um he's uh he's five years older than my kid and sometimes I would be in charge of taking those two kids for walks so the grown-ups could hang out. I just because he was a successful man, no one was ever like, Grandpa, you're the most autistic person we're gonna be. So th if you try to use that as a noun, it won't make any sense. I I see it right now. This the uh w so f far above Android. So I now see it pops up on the hub, home hub, and it says I see soy sauce, I see brown coffee filters, I see salted butter. So he wants a a breakup fuck, a bareback breakup fuck. Anyway, Alex, this is called Bellum's Cars and Music of Yesterday.

Mmm. Does this make sense? That's a really that's cool. I don't know. I really I don't I don't need to know what's in your mail. Center all story. It was so broken. 40 billion dollars. Yeah. I which is why I was surprised you did dictation with uh uh messages, because there's, you know, style guide. There's seven. It's why RISD. I went to a normal school that isn't on the same property as a museum about music and cars. Did did you seriously did you climb up did you climb up the doesn't that scream to a college kid climb up on a building? The rats. We're on the same ground as the airport. I've lost it. I wanna do more things like this. I I en enjoyed that. So you imagine you're like a got a barrel with a slightly curved bottom and you ride a motorcycle really fast in a circle, and then pretty soon you're almost horizontal because of centrifugal force.

It's the the idea of climbing every building. I told you to search for that. Well I don't well I don't know but the page. Let me vote on one dead family member. Hello! That's one about rock pile. You buy a vest that says, I'm a comfort dog. Someone from a podcast went to your school. Talk about time blind. No, no, listen, listen, listen to the words. I can hear it. How do you know if you're doing it wrong? Great museum. Aaron, Paul, and Brian Cranston with the cast in Patties. I'm not sad today. You go. Is this about me? No. You hear that? Inside of what? I mean, is it okay to talk about what's in this the kinds of things I'm seeing here? Wait, was I an hour and a half early? Hi Chris. I'll I'll be the person hey give us your fucking money dot com these until they see this, they'll know they're this this is the uh Righteous surf fucks.

Yeah. Hey Siri, paws everywhere. I said like myself. I I I waved my hipporites. And then the dinosaur and then the dinosaurs have arrived and made the coconut raft and One the ant and the grasshopper? But then you discover like, no, it's cool. I'm not finding it. Oh, and I'm sh so so what they realize is that Bob is the one because he thinks it's like Tina he thinks it's Tina having her poo poo potty. I only give it I recommend that for all of you by the way. I feel like we're gonna have to go pretty far south. I'm gonna put this out. Uh but up up up we could talk more or we could do the after show or we could take a break. Well, first of all, tell me what song I was talking to myself is from.

You're medically prescribed comfort dog while you're waiting in line to go into the Korean barbecue place where you're gonna bring your fucking No, no, no, because you laughed at a couple things, but you didn't get it all. Did you see um can you see that how close this is? I don't even know who that's racist about. It's neat that you can I mean it's if it is way faster. I have to know that there is a list called grocery list, right? I'll play the good part. I'm opening the door, I'm giving you the pavement, I'm telling you what for You're no more than I thought, no more than a thought How many? You're gonna bring your medical dog in and no one's allowed because this dog is practically a fucking munition.

Oh, that would be interesting. I see the little swoosh right there. I shouldn't sleep with matches next to my bed. You don't like the relative humidity? Hey, I'm going to go to Bergdorf Goodman's and buy some pig collectibles. This is like when uh you had an aneurysm because I was doing a dash. I have to do this enough to remember that it's grocery list. I'm gonna start doing that all the time. Like it's it really has very little to do with computers and more about your own sense of. But he's great. The problem with with this is now I know I'm going to put that song in there because I've enjoyed doing that and I also really enjoy that that Like a lot of people like you. Oh, that would be the most fun.

Oh, I can't tell. Okay, well why why why don't you ask me like a totally normal question? How I got an Android phone and the answer was Why would you need to bring that up actually? I would have to stop and think and go, Well first of all, I don't have a reminders list about them all. But for a lot of us, I feel like neither of those exist. Well, the big star one might be more, but my my general introduction series, exclusive to Spotify, is seven songs by a band with a purpose. Murray, I always carry a gallon water of water for health. They're so smart and they are actually also really cool. Mmm. You're not gonna read advice bo you didn't read advice books. Okay, so do you see those do you see those th those three oddly so let me know when you're in satellite view.

That's where I stole my mailbox. Uh not marine, but is it Marine? I liked her. That's what I did by saying, hey Dingus, add source sauce to my grocery list. Mm-hmm. Which which condition? Chris and I were tripping one night and we took pictures of each other and we made a sign that we held up. And they discover it's Bob who's been who's gonna love Gail's cats so much. This kid's terrific. Yeah, you don't need to you don't need to tell me. He was born in the back seat of a Mustang on a cold night in a hard rain. I didn't see all your tweets. Okay. Oh wait, I cannot picture it. You told me to click on the Yerk, uh not your college, but the um Sarasota. No, no, no. If I pull out if I pull out the blade, your friend will bleed to death.

How could I let people know that I'm this c close to spending $18,000 on different devices to get out of this Apple world and now knowing Like this makes a ton of sense. You hear the flange on the guitar? But then I mean I went to Bellums when I went to school. Click clickity click. Did you see um Jesse and Walter? Yes. She can get it. Yeah. And like I say, I've been I've been really trying to use it more. Well, I must have been stunned. I'm gonna send you this again. Listen, I I had a revelation recently. Oh gosh, I'm gonna go ahead and commit to this as Arnold Schwarzenegger even though I know it's not correct. Oh, because it was throwing good money after bad, good time after bad, good spectrum after bad.

No, no, I am not at the Pig Palace. Loading, loading. But can you if I were to very if I were gonna let's say I'm gonna ask you create an item for your reminders list about them all. Oh, please, please, please. Now nor people like to say myself as the subject of a sentence, which is pretentious. Well, it it's like a sort of two buildings connected. That is a good backpack. Bleed bleed. Yeah. Mm-hmm. On the wall of death, it's the nearest to being free. Pretty good, right? Once there was a fox and some grapes. But um bunch of like you know different like and it it's not as it's both more interesting and less interesting than it sounds. I'm like, okay, Anniple. It it all of the on device dictation and uh l like accessibility navigation is Uh let's see.

It's a good day today. Oh, this airport looks so familiar. Robin? Or no, Thursday. Uh toilet's funny, but like I imagine people just like they can't put down their phone or they might lose it. Why? Uh uh this it's the your funny voices. There's just a wall. That is, yes. Um Grace Belden. Yeah, he's very cute. Well yeah, exactly. They don't it doesn't make them I'm not saying it makes them happy. Now talk about a talk about a poison mouth. Huh, huh. As long as Clown Lamell. This kid's terrific. Excuse me, do you have any panticons? Well, Jagged was the pop one that got me, but the first one that really grabbed me was Won't Be Home. The he it's about it's a song, it's an album that he records with his then wife Linda about the end of their marriage.

Oh shit dog. No wait. I can't I can't. And the next one is also fucking on a yacht. Yes. Do you think we could do this the whole time? You hear that? You ride your bike. God, here's the thing. But um that is very much a bridge too far for me. No. I leave the rest to you. That's cool. This is a refurbed I hate that I hate that movie. Okay, I'll close that window and then I'm gonna close so it's not Bellum's anymore. I hate it. Oh I mean, I can't believe this guy will take a cross low and dying inside. What does he say? Exclude from your taste profile. You fall off the wall? The ant and the grasshopper. I barely like bacon. Barely. It's actually so all the little gravestones. I'm gonna put this out.

He's gonna write what are you what you got like the uh you don't want people using email, right? Why what does that have to do with with email? Yeah, but you just you always want to make like a tech joke or a culture joke. It's just more like uh I just if I know I'm gonna watch it, why would I wanna know anything about it? That kind of stuff in the kind of leak off sense. Just north of there you'll see these three kind of oddly shaped buildings. We share ground with a car museum, an airport, and uh two museums. Yes. I saw someone posting about Big Star on Blue Sky the other day and I was like, oh Yes. Like a lot of people like you. Bellum's cars and music of yesteryear. We went to no no it was was it when we're in it wasn't when we were in New York.

Also, those Nike Dynasties are the same ones uh that uh uh Alana Ferrante owns. People think they like fun. Yes. Oh, just to see how the dictation worked. This is weird because if I say remind me about this and the list doesn't exist, it's gonna get confused. Uh I wish I had stuff like backspace and delete word is what I really Like pfft you know. I'm pulling off the road. This might be Dynasty High Tops. What what's a bummer? Then your your like list of tags that are uh here where it is. Aesthetically, I one way you could tell whether or not it's me or not. I'm just trying to remember. You couldn't hear it. And that bums me out, but I'm gonna keep doing what I do because I do it for both of us, whether you know it or not.

Um switch back will make you crazy. Let me write on the wall of death one more time This is very much like what okay, so Alex has sent me. It's like old like wooden radios and bacolite radios. Simple bleed no no. And if you get your head right about what this stuff can do for you, you stop seeing at uh stop seeing it as some noisome way for young people to frustrate you. It's called No More Than a Thought, and I'm gonna send that to you right now. But I won't seem as funny when you're older. Like if I said to you, like, oh, we're going to the museum for like a display of radios. Oh, oh, oh, so you're saying that this dog wanted the pets. Oh, please come along and fucking autistic pig. Uh this this uh monstrosity, which is too big.

Comes such a long way. One hour done. One that I made. I'm telling you you might like the police more than you think. I know. Nope. I don't have a way of knowing what you're looking at right now. Oh look at my red East pack. Well then that would be useful for me to be able to send it to you like a person. Because it means, I mean, like in in English and in you know America, pig means like, oh you're pigging out. Oh wait, that's right. I thought it was like maybe a uh not commercial, like a private one. Are there photos of this? I hate it. Uh and the moon. Like there's some certain things that I can do like just w with barely thinking about it, as long as I yelled out to the right device. Well just tell it to X, tell it to capitalize.

My wife always tells me what her mail is and what her packages are and I hate it. Not everything I say is should have an impact on on what you do in your life. That that is the um I I mean that's pretty much the whole bar now. No. Let's see if bellums do this. And then I said notice how close that I think what I I think I felt like it was implied from context clues. This is what Max was talking about when Max was talking about the pigs. Uh oh that's that seems like it's a commentary on the monarchy, but no, I think it's just supposed to be a cute pig. That's that picture of me and Mads with the baby sitting on a filthy couch. Marcellus thought is that right, or is that the guy from Pulp Fiction?

How do you have a oh yeah my head's pounding? I I can't let people ghost you to let Chat GPT do it. He's a good kid, something like that. It's it's my favorite part is um so it's the big breakdown.

Just get your head right, dummy, that I just made up. Okay. And Paul McCartney was in a band before Wings. What what's the wave? You just gotta relax. That would be a good good day. Mm-hmm.

Um, but I think what happened was my very autistic grandpa I don't I don't uh where it is. Perhaps you you like the special humidity She's always walking around with a shopping bag in her teeth. I mean I can.

Challenge this for this week's challenge. I wasn't I thought that was a Game of Thrones accent. Right? But like in that instance like that somebody could look at this and go, well why don't you just write it down? I should do more QPR things. Um I've got uh one on the old ninety-sevens. I think this was you. I thought it was gonna be oh god holy holy shit Alex I I thought I should this is funny. Would you like to fuck my plush? And and the reason this comes straight to mind is because I spent four years living on the same block as this place. It's from either Thanksgiving or Super Bowl. No. You could do in Google on one minute. Like I was just African. It's okay. Is that alright? There's a chair that look looks kind of like a fuzzy critter, and there's one that looks like a chair.

But generally if I yell out, hey dingus, uh set a nine-minute pasta timer.

I could hear the tinnininess and also I was l uh reading along the lyrics with I'm gonna send you a link to this. So turned on Twitter notifications for all of your tweets How do you know if you're wiping wrong?

It's got a don't pet she put on the dog, on the dog she put the don't pet me. And obviously my car was inspired by Tesla. And so there's levels and levels of are you sure that's what you want? Yeah, that's that that it that's oh that should be in the document. Oh oh no, I saw those before when I was uh scrolling around. Isn't that crazy? You know what I'm saying?

And I want to get you to be interested. I see lots of green tractors, which I think are John Deere tractors. This week's challenge is a little bit more. Because like, I mean, have you ever done a thing that especially something where instead of just being able it's like there's some kinds of things that you can do with You can't.

That seems about right. I can't tell if you're this is a bit, because I hope it's not. And they're like kind of an engineering wonder. I'm um yeah, I'm kind of a Luke person at this point.

The wall of death is where somebody rides a motorcycle and using centrifugal force rides the a wall horizontally. It's very funny. This is so cool. Uh well that's I I think that you don't put hats on hats.

Um hang on, I'm sorry. Well who fucking cares? Uh yeah, do uh d go go nap. Oh no, we started the show with both of us m making You're getting smaller in my rear view mirror. Looks like they might be on the show. I'm saying it's what they like doing. Woof. What is it? I I mean like y yes, we all know Siri sucks, but the dictation and uh navigation on editing while you're dictating. 'Cause I was fucking this close to going all in on everything that's not Apple. I feel like a little less than a minute ago I had a remark about your whore mouth. No, I was with you until until that. I don't I literally don't care. Oh no no no, they're stuffies now. Here's a rule of thumb I learned in college. Oh that was it.

It's it's difficult to understand. That was such a good backpack. Ted Teddy from Bob's Burgers might be the best case. Well no, it's spelled F U X with a diacritical. He also had a whore mouth. I l I loved I loved this. But that's hard enough. But like uh with other people, like I'm just so used to people writing like they're illiterate or speaking like they're illiterate because that's Do you remember? Mmm, bow, wow, bow, bow, bow, bow. Okay. I saw a conversation on Blue Sky about how people were talking about what people see on Mastodon about Twitter. They shared a cell, and when he tickled his grapes, he'd get cigarettes and haircuts. Is that the big one?

What oh I don't want it I don't want it to infect motherfuckers. Yeah. Uh Merlin, what did what was your favorite thing about using dictation on iOS? There's all these different ways where you like, guess what you're doing now?

Holy shit, Grace Belden! You can eat me, but you can't love me. This content is great. On the one hand, like, no, I'm not habituated. You're no more than a thought, no more than a thought.

And what did you guys do there, uh th other than tripping and sitting on cars? So go to Google Maps or similar and search for this and you'll see what I'm talking about. Oh shit, you sent me another photo of the pigs.
