0:00

Sorry, I have to sneeze.

0:08

361 and well come to 361

0:10

Dear Hank and John.

0:13

Hank, I'm sorry. Yeah. It's just I

0:16

It sounded like you just sneezed.

0:18

I did. I'm sorry. It's never normal.

0:20

It's not even normal. It's a concern.

0:23

What hap What happened happened Give me

0:25

that back. We haven't do the intro. How

0:27

did this occur? It's a

0:28

361. We were just chatting and then

0:30

it was time to start the podcast and and

0:32

something got in there.

0:34

Oh, no. Is it out? No. I

0:37

assume so. I think you need to call

0:39

doctor Nevro's knees or Scrooge and find out if

0:41

you're okay. Should I start the podcast

0:43

now? Sure. Hello

0:48

and welcome to Dear Hank and on. Stores,

0:50

I prefer to think of it, dear John and Hank. It's

0:52

a podcast where two brothers answer your questions, give

0:55

you dubious advice, and bring you all the week's news

0:57

from both Mars and AFC Wimbledon.

0:59

Now John. Yeah. I was it's

1:01

it's Valentine's Day this week. I was talking

1:03

to 361, and I I was like, I love you,

1:05

buddy. And he said, I love you too,

1:07

dad. 361 then I said, that's great.

1:09

I mean, they're an okay band, but I was more

1:12

wanting to know what you thought about me. I

1:14

love you too, dad. Oh,

1:17

I 361 you too, like, the

1:19

edge. And what's his face?

1:21

But you thought of

1:21

the edge first? Yeah. That's great for the

1:24

edge. I'm happy for him. I feel like

1:26

the other guy, Bono, is his

1:28

You know, I feel like he gets a lot of the headlines.

1:32

Yeah. Yeah. Did that joke

1:34

need a little bit more YouTube references

1:36

in it to be

1:37

understandable? Like, I

1:39

was standing by the A Joshua Tree.

1:42

Yeah. Before I 361 Or, like, he said, I love

1:44

you too, dad. And I was like, I didn't ask what you thought

1:46

about

1:46

361. Oh, I asked what you thought about me. That's

1:49

something that makes you. Yeah.

1:52

I think that the problem might be

1:55

in the you know how people talk about a house

1:57

having good

1:57

bones? Doesn't

1:59

have good bones. I think that joke might have had

2:01

bad bones. Bad bones. It's

2:06

something 361 I talk about a lot in, like,

2:09

real estate and, like, houses that, like, some

2:11

houses just have bad bones

2:12

361, like, it's not what you can do about it.

2:15

You talk about you talk about 361 bones

2:17

a lot? That's a little bit strange, John.

2:20

I don't tend to think much about house

2:22

bones I really only care

2:23

about the bones of one house. I know, but

2:25

I

2:25

think there's a great luxury to be in that

2:28

situation where I've got one.

2:30

Yeah. And the venue line fine. Yeah.

2:32

361 the wind blows and the bones talk to

2:34

me, but look, that's true of my own bones as

2:36

well. Sure. Especially these

2:39

days.

2:39

Yeah. Got anything your

2:41

bones I've been saying to you lately? Oh,

2:43

just just that

2:45

they feel little worked to the Oh,

2:49

wow. My

2:51

bones are like, if you could

2:53

walk around on snow

2:54

less, that would be great. Yeah.

2:57

I took a big fall yesterday. I was

2:59

running -- You did. -- along the White River,

3:01

and I took a really significant

3:03

-- Why? -- those falls are never good.

3:05

It was one of those falls where I

3:08

went I had, like, five or six steps in

3:10

that full Wiley Coyote thing where

3:12

your legs are just, like, moving as fast as

3:14

they can move. So so funny.

3:17

And so there were It's such funny little gate

3:19

where you can't quite get your feedback under your

3:21

center of gravity. Right. But there were probably

3:23

two or three full 361. Where I was

3:25

like, I I can save this.

3:27

I'm gonna save this. And then there was like

3:29

one second where I was like, I can't

3:32

save this, but I I

3:34

have had all of this time

3:36

to figure out how to fall. So

3:39

that's good. And I'm gonna do

3:41

a good job of falling as well as I

3:43

can. 361 then I got up

3:45

and I was like, wow, did

3:47

you do a bad job of falling?

3:51

It would have been hard to do worse.

3:53

Like, I got up and my

3:55

knee was just --

3:57

Ugh. -- just I could

3:59

I could when you

4:00

when when I fall, while I'm running,

4:02

I always get up and immediately start running again

4:05

because there's so much adrenaline inside of

4:07

me that I'm just like, 361 I was

4:09

alone, so I was able to sort of, like, run

4:11

and, like, yell at myself and yell at

4:13

the universe. And

4:16

I was 361, like, man my knee hurts. I

4:18

really I really hope that's

4:20

sweat. That's like dripping.

4:23

Yes. Your knee just got really sweaty.

4:25

I real There's a 361 of knee that hurts so 361 because

4:27

it was sort of 361 you know. Yeah.

4:30

And I was like, god, I really hope that 361. And

4:32

I was like, I'm just I'm not gonna look because it doesn't

4:34

do any good to look now. I'll

4:36

look when I get home. And I

4:38

got home anyway since it

4:40

was like it took me while

4:42

to figure out I didn't need to go to the

4:45

because it it took me a while

4:46

to, like, get everything

4:49

cleaned up to where I could be. Yeah. That's alright.

4:52

Yeah. That's just yeah. I

4:54

I don't know what's going on there. I literally can't

4:57

see

4:57

it. It's under all of the 361 stuff

4:59

that should be on the inside being on the outside.

5:01

Oh, 361, like, it didn't

5:03

hurt. Like, I I mean, I ran for two more miles

5:05

after I had this fall. That's

5:07

wild. Because I well, I had to. was two

5:09

miles

5:10

Well, you could've you could've probably could've gotten

5:12

some some other way. I probably could've

5:14

walked around. Yeah. I don't know. I could've made a

5:16

call I guess I could have been bird home. That would have

5:18

been a little weird for me though. was Anyway,

5:21

and I felt pretty I felt pretty good by

5:23

the time I got there until I looked at it.

5:25

It was like the classic kid thing where

5:27

everything's fine. You're gonna see it. Yeah. And

5:30

then I then I start I was then I

5:31

was, like, oh, no. I'm very badly

5:33

injured.

5:36

Well, I don't know. I'm

5:39

361

5:39

sorry to hear that I'm not

5:40

actually badly injured. I was able to make it to

5:42

the podcast and everything. That's

5:44

great. I'm happy

5:45

to have you here. Alright.

5:46

Let's answer some questions from our listeners beginning

5:48

with this one about sneezes.

5:50

Oh. It's from Sam who writes John and

5:52

Hank, I'm currently pretty congested and I'd like

5:54

to sneeze, but I know that's weird and that sneezing

5:56

is not normal and shouldn't be condoned. But

6:00

how do we

6:00

fix the world in this way? I have

6:02

a related question. Why can't

6:04

I sneeze on command? If we

6:07

could sneeze on 361, we wouldn't have to worry about

6:09

doing it at an inappropriate time and we could

6:11

get all decongested in private. Thanks,

6:13

Sam. 361.

6:16

You can definite like, you can it's true.

6:19

I mean, where you Are you are you about

6:21

to say that you can sneeze on command because that

6:23

might be the only thing weirder

6:26

than a physician saying

6:28

that sneezing is never normal. You

6:30

can't you kill so you can't you can't just like sit

6:32

there and be like, I would like this news now and make yourself

6:34

sneeze. You can do a number of things that might

6:36

make you sneeze. I

6:39

can make myself sneeze just by walking outside on

6:41

a sunny day, for example. I

6:42

mean, behind it. Not 361.

6:47

361. Also, if you like 361 snort

6:49

some black pepper, you will sneeze every time.

6:52

But this was a taskmaster task,

6:54

which I loved where they had to they

6:56

had to sneeze, and everyone

6:59

failed at it, except for the person who just

7:01

straight up snorted black pepper. 361 they

7:03

sneezed. They

7:05

sneezed. 361 it was not it did not look like

7:07

a pleasant situation. Yeah.

7:11

It's 361, like, not to make this

7:13

about tuberculosis, but

7:16

that is my inclination in every conversation

7:18

these days. It's interesting

7:21

that in all of the talk about humoral

7:24

flows and making

7:26

sure that, you know, the right amount of blood when phlegm

7:28

and whatnot were coming out of the body or

7:30

going into the body or whatever, that

7:33

there wasn't that much focus on sneezing.

7:35

Like, why did we waste all this energy on

7:37

bloodletting with leaches when we could have been

7:39

making people snort black pepper to get some of

7:41

those sneezes

7:42

out? Seems

7:44

like a missed opportunity to me.

7:47

361 mean, they probably did that.

7:49

I don't know. I mean, I feel like I if

7:51

there was a common treatment, Hank, I would

7:53

know about it. I know about rub rubbing

7:55

buzzard fat onto your chest. I

7:58

know about drinking human milk,

8:00

which was a common tuberculosis 361.

8:03

Oh, wow. Alright. Here's a in

8:06

my research on the thing that I'm working on right now,

8:08

here's weird one. So for

8:10

ninety nine point nine percent of human history,

8:13

we knew that if we stopped breathing, we would die

8:15

immediately. Yeah. I think everybody knew

8:17

that. That was well known. 361 we had

8:19

no idea why. And people just

8:21

didn't think about it. Like, we spend you spend your

8:23

whole life breathing and never

8:25

stopping. And then when you stop when you die,

8:28

Yep. And then it's just sorta like yep. That's

8:30

361 thing. So much so that

8:32

the word respiration

8:35

contains within it, the word spirit or

8:37

soul, and the word inspiration

8:40

means to breathe in, and the word

8:42

expire means to stop

8:44

breathing. That's great.

8:46

I'm gonna use that. Please 361.

8:48

Please don't. It's in my tuberculosis 361. There

8:54

are there is a little overlap. And so we've

8:56

gotta be

8:58

can I can I read to you?

9:00

Can I read to you 361 passage from the infirmities

9:02

of genius from eighteen thirty three? Okay.

9:06

This was in an era when instead of

9:08

being imagined as being

9:11

361 like mentally

9:14

ill, artists

9:16

were imagined as being very physically

9:18

sickly. Oh,

9:20

okay. Weird. It's part of the romanticization

9:22

of of tuberculosis, you know,

9:24

Charlotte Bronte, even as as

9:27

she was suffering from tuberculosis, and

9:29

and both of her sisters had died from him

9:31

writing that she was aware that tuberculosis is

9:34

an attractive malady. There's

9:36

just a ton of that. But anyway, 361 thing from

9:38

the infirmities of genius is illustrated is

9:41

so good. And it's about authors, Hank,

9:43

and we're both authors. So I thought that you would like

9:45

this there's a there's a description of

9:47

the the authorial personality,

9:50

which features eccentricities of

9:53

thought and action wastewardness, peevishness,

9:56

361, misentropie, murky

9:59

passions, and a thousand indescribable

10:02

idiosyncrasies. 361 I read that,

10:04

and I was like, 361

10:06

up.

10:09

That's 361 your business. 361 do you know?

10:11

What do you know? Informities of Genius

10:13

Illustrator from eighteen thirty three 361 your

10:15

mouth. I don't talk to

10:17

I don't talk to you like that. Well,

10:20

give me the maybe the last three again.

10:23

I think the most important ones are their

10:25

weightlessness, their p 361, their rasp

10:27

civility, misentropy, murky

10:30

passions, and thousands, indescribable idiosyncrasies.

10:33

361

10:35

361 is great. Murky, 361 is

10:37

You don't really think of a passion as being potentially

10:40

murky, but then now that you've said it, I'm like,

10:42

yeah. I feel

10:43

like in the nineteenth century, one of biggest

10:45

fears was a murky passion.

10:47

361, boy, I don't wanna have a kid with a murky passion.

10:50

Right. Yeah. That's a potential catastrophe. For

10:52

one thing, they're gonna definitely get tuberculosis.

10:55

I want him to have a fire in his heart and a

10:57

light in his eyes. Well, that was the other thing. Right?

10:59

Is that people would be like, well, we all know

11:01

that farmers have this natural

11:04

fire within them

11:07

because that's how, like, they say, warm in the cold

11:09

weather. 361

11:12

so This isn't John. This it

11:14

it comes back all the like, the it's

11:16

always true.

11:18

Never attribute to to

11:20

anything, what could be attributed to

11:23

class?

11:24

Yes. Oh, I mean, that is that

11:26

is so true. 361 and by the way, there were What

11:28

could be 361 to inequality and injustice.

11:31

Yeah. Never attribute to race.

11:33

What can be attributed to 361? Never

11:35

attribute to class

11:38

361 can be attributed to classism. Yeah.

11:42

Yeah. There this was a common problem.

11:44

And also, like, there were of people who are

11:47

pointing out that it was a problem. Right? So there were

11:49

lots of people, for instance, there were lots of

11:51

African American physicians saying, actually,

11:53

I think because at the time it was

11:55

believed by kind of white society

11:57

that black people couldn't get

11:59

361. And there were 361 lot of sense -- Absolutely.

12:02

-- that would be a thing at the time who were,

12:04

like, Yeah. No. Like, lots of

12:06

lots of people are getting 361. We're pretty

12:09

pretty 361. Pretty sure of it.

12:11

And, you know, with the farm farming thing,

12:13

there were lots people who were like, yeah, I mean,

12:15

I I know a couple farmers who got 361. 361

12:19

I know a lot more, like, 361 people who

12:21

were told by their doc occurs to go be farmers

12:23

who, like, just just don't seem

12:25

to have gotten better. Yeah. So

12:27

it's just so much of it is about who

12:29

you listen to 361 making sure that you listen

12:31

to broad sleeve? Yes. And

12:33

that's not that's not easy. It's

12:36

not easy. 361. We have a natural desire

12:38

not to listen broadly. So

12:40

I get it. 361 it leads

12:42

to a lot of catastrophes like

12:45

this one from Elizabeth. Sorry, I don't know

12:47

how to 361, so I just made one

12:49

that didn't make any sense. Dear Hank and

12:51

John, I'm fresh off 361 young people

12:53

just don't wanna work these days 361, and

12:55

I'm really tired and discouraged. How do you recommend

12:58

addressing these comments in a way that helps people, especially

13:00

older

13:00

people, have little more compassion for the struggles of

13:02

the younger generation? Paychecks and provisions,

13:05

Elizabeth. A

13:07

lot there's a lot of research

13:10

that says that data doesn't help

13:13

in in difficult conversations, but I think

13:15

that this is one that is not yet

13:18

hot enough for it

13:20

to have gotten there. And I think that

13:22

data can help in this situation. Yeah.

13:24

361 so there's some pretty easy

13:27

comparisons you can make between the the

13:30

sort of, like, minimum wage

13:33

earned in nineteen eighty 361 the

13:35

cost of a house or the

13:37

average income in the cost of

13:39

house 361 you sort of say,

13:41

like, the, you know, the the it was the cost

13:43

of a house would be, like, five yearly salaries

13:45

361 now it's ten or now fifteen or twenty.

13:48

I don't know what the exact status. But to have one

13:50

of those in your back pocket is always

13:52

nice. And also

13:54

that the another

13:57

piece of very clear, you

14:00

know, reliable piece of data that people

14:02

understand pretty well. Is that the unemployment

14:04

rate is as low as it has ever

14:06

been. So if people don't want to work,

14:08

361 why are they all

14:10

working? Yeah.

14:13

I mean, that's a good one. 361 one

14:15

that I 361 one that I like to use

14:19

is 361 so I can be clear,

14:22

when was it that young people like to

14:24

work? And what the

14:26

person will say is inevitably when they were

14:28

young. Yeah.

14:30

Is when people like to work. And

14:33

then what I like to say is

14:35

it's interesting that you should mention the

14:37

year nineteen seventy eight. Because

14:39

in the year nineteen seventy eight, the

14:41

US's labor force participation

14:44

rate was lower than

14:46

it is now. So I

14:48

guess people didn't like to work that much

14:51

in nineteen seventy eight because fewer

14:53

of them

14:53

worked. Yeah. It's

14:56

it's I think that this

14:58

conversation hasn't gotten

15:00

so heated and isn't sort of, like, tied

15:02

into people's identity as much.

15:05

Yep. 361 but in yeah.

15:07

I mean, it's very easy to

15:11

have, like, a to have, you know, like,

15:13

361 when we're older, we're gonna

15:15

think that we worked really hard when we were young

15:17

and that people aren't working

15:20

as much in the in the future,

15:22

then young people then also won't be

15:24

working hard, or we won't think

15:26

that they

15:26

are. It's just -- Yeah. --

15:27

it's 361 be a thing. It's always been a thing.

15:29

But I think that 361, this is an issue that

15:31

isn't that tied in I mean,

15:33

it may be for some people, but isn't that tied

15:35

into sort of like the heated topics of

15:38

the day there actually is space

15:40

to just allow the data to tell the story.

15:42

And so, like, you've been keeping track of this stuff

15:45

and, like, here's the situation. And so if

15:47

you're having an experience, that might

15:49

be that one person. And

15:51

and that 361 it's

15:54

it's 361 I think think it's

15:56

pretty harmful to be attributing to

15:59

an entire group of people something

16:01

that you noticed one time.

16:04

Yeah, or something that you heard about on

16:06

the news, which I think is actually

16:08

what it's usually about. I think it's usually about

16:11

the great resignation as a

16:13

concept. Right? Like, as an abstract

16:15

idea. Which is more of like a thing that

16:18

happened because there got we got a good word

16:20

for it. Then be then then that actually

16:22

happened.

16:23

Yeah. Or or, I mean, I think

16:25

there's some legitimacy to the idea that a lot

16:27

of people moved around in the way

16:29

of an earth shattering social

16:33

order upending pandemic started

16:36

to think differently about their priorities. That's

16:40

certainly true. 361 that

16:42

is primarily being about the

16:44

way that people participate in the labor

16:46

force

16:47

is another example of

16:50

a problematic way of thinking about human

16:52

value. Yep. This

16:54

next question comes from 361,

16:57

who asks Dear Hank and John. John mentioned

17:00

AL eight, 361 ale from Kentucky.

17:02

Yeah. On the last episode of Dear Hank and John. Yeah.

17:04

And Hank said that no one had heard of it.

17:06

As a 361, I had no idea

17:08

that people didn't know about 808. It has

17:10

been a staple of my household for years,

17:13

but my question is, does every region

17:15

have delicious secret sodas? 361

17:18

soda connoisseur, 361? No.

17:20

No. It really doesn't. Some

17:22

do. 361. There's a couple. ALAE

17:24

is not just a Kentucky thing.

17:27

It's a also a climbing

17:29

thing. Like, I was at a climbing gym -- Mhmm. -- over

17:31

the weekend with my kid.

17:34

And 361 people came

17:36

out to me and like, hey, I love that you mentioned LA

17:38

on the podcast.

17:39

And I was like, yeah. I

17:41

do yeah. So it's also but

17:44

but that speaks, I think, to this

17:47

emerging way of understanding regionalism,

17:50

which is not geographic but affinity

17:52

based. So climbers

17:56

have their own 361, and

17:58

Kentucky has its own 361. 361

18:02

I think that's interesting. But

18:04

no, most regions do not have their own special

18:06

soda. There was a special kind of Dr Pepper

18:08

in Denton, Texas

18:10

until, like, twenty years

18:12

ago maybe. And

18:14

it wasn't that 361. From regular Dr Pepper.

18:17

It was just little bit of different one.

18:18

What's the

18:19

one that Arceco that's the one that was

18:21

all around for

18:22

But Arceco is not really regional. Is

18:24

it? I mean, maybe -- Yeah.

18:25

Yeah. -- 361, like, a big one. 361 maybe.

18:28

Mountain Dew was regional. It was 361

18:30

Dew was very much regional to the south.

18:32

361 then there's things like I don't

18:34

know how to say it. Is it 361, the

18:36

Scottish one? Yeah. Remember,

18:39

like, we did show in Scotland and, like, people

18:41

threw 361 onto the stage. Yeah. That

18:43

was Iron Brew. Oh,

18:45

that's what it

18:46

is. What's Rubina? Is that also

18:48

Scotland? 361

18:51

It was really true. 361 was it

18:53

-- Yeah. --

18:53

was it in Scotland? That

18:56

was Scotland. Yes. Okay.

18:57

Yeah. I did not. I didn't love the iron brew.

19:00

I feel bad.

19:00

No. Because it made me made my taste

19:02

buds think, I can see this, but it made

19:04

my body think, no. Yeah.

19:07

My body Oh. -- how do you feel to move?

19:10

I'm hugging 361 things.

19:12

Yeah. Yeah. I I like, it was like my muscles

19:14

didn't like it. Like, my muscle got crampy. I

19:16

think it was just too much caffeine for me maybe.

19:19

I don't know that it even has caffeine. Rubina

19:21

is a real thing. It's

19:23

it's it's it's it's a berry flavored,

19:26

and it's from the United Kingdom has

19:29

British origin. Iron

19:32

brew has quinine, the

19:36

anti malaria medication.

19:39

It's a it's a it's

19:40

got a it's

19:40

got a flavor that isn't

19:42

isn't bad when mixed with sugar? Sure.

19:45

Yeah. It's sort of tonicky. Well, there you

19:47

go. I can't really think of any other

19:49

regional sodas

19:50

though. Not ones that are particularly

19:53

good, but at least that I've ever had.

19:55

I

19:55

Yeah. It's all these, like, there's, like, micro brew

19:58

kinds of sodas now. Like, we got,

19:59

like, the fancy root beers that are just made in

20:02

your town, but there's something to the, like,

20:04

there was the era when sodas were originally

20:06

created and then, like, Coke and Pepsi

20:08

won and then they bought up all the other ones and

20:10

and they're the Coca Cola companies.

20:13

361 there were a few that sort of held on.

20:15

Yeah. And are, like, just hanging

20:18

out being eight ale. Ale.

20:20

That's weird. Yeah. 361, and

20:22

IVC root beer. And notably,

20:25

also Dr Pepper. Dr Pepper

20:28

is also remained free.

20:30

And it has it's still free. It's it's the Keurig

20:32

Dr Pepper 361, which think is the funniest

20:34

thing in the world. So good. That's

20:41

that's 361 very weird thing to have happened.

20:43

I know. I know. I

20:45

know. I think what's

20:48

what's funniest about it is

20:50

that 361 funniest

20:53

about it is that Dr Pepper didn't

20:55

buy Keurig. Quite the opposite.

20:57

Curry got bought Dr

20:59

Pepper. They were like, we weren't as hilarious.

21:01

We weren't as as Curry existed

21:03

for, like, forty five days before

21:06

it

21:06

bought Dr

21:07

Pepper. It's like a well onetime warner.

21:10

Wouldn't if Dr Pepper wanted to

21:12

get bought, Wouldn't one of the soda

21:14

companies have bought them? That's

21:16

very weird to me. I maybe Keurig

21:18

wanted to get purchased by Coca Cola so

21:20

they were like, we're gonna get Dr

21:22

Pepper, and then 361 Cola's gonna have to get

21:24

the whole thing. Well, so before

21:26

just so you know, Hank, before Dr

21:29

Pepper was the

21:30

Keurig, Dr Pepper Pepper

21:32

Group. It was, of course, the Dr Pepper

21:34

Snapple Group. Did

21:37

did something happen? No.

21:39

It was so doctor Pepper, before

21:42

being bought by Curry, was bought

21:44

by snapple.

21:47

Remember when 361 was a big deal? It

21:49

was a big deal. Yeah. And so

21:52

inside of the colleague, doctor Pepper

21:54

361 group. We have

21:57

a huge number of brands from

21:59

Squirt. You remember Squirt? Uh-huh.

22:02

They still got that. To

22:04

mott's apple

22:05

sauce? What?

22:07

To Hawaii and

22:07

That's not even a drink.

22:09

-- to Hawaiian Punch. To

22:12

RC 361. What?

22:14

Yep. They're coming

22:17

for you. 361 Canada

22:19

dry?

22:20

Canada dry. Any minor

22:23

soda that feels like early twentieth

22:25

century, big red, 361

22:27

kissed home. A and W. Right?

22:30

All of these are part of the Dr Pepper Snapple

22:32

Group. Schweppes Yahoo.

22:35

Also, very sort of early been

22:38

around. Oh, I love a yahoo. IBC.

22:42

361 love it. Oh, and the 361. That science 361,

22:44

I've never tried

22:45

that, but I see it at the gas station. Yep.

22:48

Yep. So there you go. It

22:50

really is It's one of his

22:52

See,

22:53

John, we're gonna we have to make

22:56

a company that gets bought by

22:58

Kurt, doctor

22:58

pepper. This is our new goal. Well, and it's

23:00

gonna be fiber supplement. No. We already

23:03

have two companies. Right? Like,

23:05

why don't we just sell one of them to the Keurig

23:07

Dr Pepper Snapp group. Yeah. Yeah.

23:11

Like, 361 you guys ever have you guys thought about

23:13

educational content at all? Get

23:16

into the educational media industry. Have

23:19

I told the story on the podcast of my catastrophic

23:22

interaction with the Dr. Pepper 361 Group?

23:25

I think what did you do?

23:26

I forgot. I had a meeting with Dr

23:28

Pepper. They were very excited to meet

23:30

with me as a celebrity, Dr Pepper

23:33

fan. They were like, we can't wait

23:35

for this meeting 361 all of your ideas

23:37

about how we could deepen our

23:39

relationship. And I was like, I also

23:41

can't wait for meeting. I've never been so nervous

23:44

in my life. Get

23:46

on the call. And within,

23:48

like, four minutes, I've given them seventeen

23:50

ideas. I'm, like, Hank green delivery

23:53

-- 361. -- new ideas. I've got a new idea

23:55

every five 361. Each of them weirder than

23:57

the last because I said, listen,

24:00

I do have some ideas, but they're all

24:02

weird. And Dr Pepper was

24:04

like, we're so excited about all your ideas.

24:07

361 we the weirder, the better.

24:10

And then I told them my 361, and they

24:12

were like, whoa. Those

24:15

are all way yeah. You thought you have told

24:17

me about

24:17

this. I 361 love this though. This is

24:20

exactly what happened with me in 361.

24:22

I know. I know. They were

24:24

like, no. You don't 361, Hank. No

24:26

one is like you. Yeah. Like

24:28

your audience, you've got all of

24:30

them. You've already got every

24:32

single person who's that weird. Yeah.

24:35

Exactly. That's that's that's exactly

24:38

right. So, like, So they just want you

24:40

to, like, voice over the commercials. And

24:42

I'm, like, well, that's I'm sorry. That's not interesting

24:44

at all. Like, then I'm just the spokesperson for

24:47

sugar water

24:48

361. Like, yeah, that's not

24:50

funny. You know what? No. It's funny.

24:54

You

24:54

know what? not funny. Is

24:57

spending ten million dollars to

25:00

get AFC Wimbledon promoted.

25:04

361 in every single

25:06

interview no matter where, every

25:09

single time, every single

25:11

player has to mention Dr Pepper.

25:14

That's hilarious. It's

25:17

especially funny. Since Dr

25:19

Pepper isn't even a very strong brand

25:21

in the United kicked

25:22

them. That

25:23

They're like, this is not this

25:25

is not a good idea. And you're like,

25:27

but it's so funny. Do

25:30

you agree at least that it's very funny? It is

25:32

a good idea? Like, it is so

25:34

worth ten million dollars. Like,

25:37

doctor Pepper spends ten million dollars on

25:39

like a Super Bowl ad. It's so

25:41

worth ten million dollars for

25:43

doctor Pepper to be in 361 hilarious position

25:46

of, like, supporting a football

25:48

team entirely because every single

25:50

interview, the players have to say

25:52

thank you to Dr Pepper. Like, That

25:55

is so 361, the super 361

25:57

that they make on TikTok of every ASE

26:00

Wimbledon player thinking doctor Pepper.

26:02

It's gold. It's gold. It's a ten million

26:04

dollar 361. No doubt.

26:06

And it gets AFC Wimbledon up to the third tier

26:08

of English football. Everybody wins. I

26:13

I don't know. They might understand their business better

26:15

than you do, but I don't know. Maybe not.

26:17

I've got another idea real quick. I just wanna

26:19

pitch it to you.

26:20

You so you actually pitch that idea to them for

26:22

the AIC one of them thing? Yeah. That's a hilarious

26:24

idea. Okay. Can I

26:26

tell you one of the other things that I've pitched them? I think

26:29

I've talked before how I really thought doctor

26:31

Pepper should sponsor humanity's relationship with

26:33

the moon. Okay. But

26:35

that wasn't my best idea. Last one.

26:38

My best idea was that the spokesperson for

26:40

doctor Pepper

26:41

should be Henry the seventh of 361.

26:44

And

26:47

Yeah. I could see 361. And he would That's

26:49

more 361. He would just be like,

26:52

listen. I

26:54

live in the fifteen

26:57

hundreds. I'm the richest,

27:00

most powerful person in

27:02

the world. 361

27:04

all I want is what I can't

27:07

have, which is Dr

27:09

Pepper.

27:11

I mean, it's like, you know the pleasure.

27:13

You I cannot know the

27:15

joy. Yeah. An artificial

27:17

taste. Utterly artificial,

27:20

radically artificial. Some would argue

27:22

an anti natural taste, which is

27:24

the other thing I kept trying to sell them on. Stop

27:27

trying to act like doctor Pepper tastes like anything

27:29

of this world and lean into its radical

27:31

artificiality.

27:33

Yep. And this is just chemicals. That's

27:35

what we believe. Yeah. It's gonna be Dr Pepper.

27:37

Just chemicals.

27:38

Just chemicals. 361, by the way,

27:41

that Henry the 361 would

27:43

have started wars to

27:45

be able to taste. Uh-huh. Chemicals

27:48

that would have been unimaginable to our

27:50

forebears. 361 that

27:52

all those 361, the ninety three

27:54

billion people now I'm really getting into

27:56

it. Hank, the ninety three billion people who

27:58

came before us 361 are no longer here

28:01

who built the world in the hopes

28:03

that one day, their great grandchildren

28:05

361 great great great grandchildren could

28:08

live in a world. Where for fifty

28:10

cents, you can taste something

28:13

that is not of this planet.

28:17

That's what Henry the seventh would say in my

28:19

Dr

28:19

361. You could write some you could write some killer

28:21

Dr Pepper ads that I think

28:23

would maybe alienate a fair amount

28:25

of the Dr Pepper

28:27

361, but I don't know. That seem to

28:28

be their concern. That seem to be their

28:31

concern. I love

28:33

that though. I do now I am sort

28:35

of like very deeply grateful

28:37

for my ability to have a

28:38

LaCroix. You know? Well,

28:42

don't tell that 361 the Dr Pepper 361 Gerberry.

28:44

They're gonna pick up LaCroix. No no worries.

28:47

To snap 361 up. No. They gotta wait till, like,

28:49

LaCroix on the down part of its wave.

28:51

That's when Dr Pepper Snapple Keurig

28:53

Group jumps in. 361

28:57

is already owned by the National Beverage Corporation.

29:01

Well, I mean, you don't you don't think that the Dr

29:03

Pepper Acura 361 group could add another

29:06

name to its name?

29:08

Yeah. They're well yeah. The the

29:10

361 only big brands that that NBC

29:13

has are LaCroix, Shasta, and Fago.

29:15

361 they do have this John. Their

29:18

Nasdaq ticker. Their Nasdaq

29:20

ticker is FIZZ.

29:23

Is that's

29:25

good. Whoever did that, that's

29:27

the that's the greatest asset of

29:30

of

29:30

them. Yeah.

29:32

Fiz. Fiz. I

29:35

love that. They also own a brand

29:37

called RIPET. It's

29:40

not like their 361 dew competitor. They're like monster

29:43

energy drink is called RIPET?

29:45

Yeah. A fully fully half

29:47

it's it's RIPET Energy 361,

29:50

which is not how it works.

29:53

Fully half of their brands are red

29:55

on 361. Like, they like, RED,

29:57

they do not have a

29:58

link. They're

30:00

more like If you wanna write a

30:02

if you

30:02

wanna write a story about rips

30:05

the soft drink you can if you want.

30:07

Nobody has written that article yet. One

30:10

of the brands owned

30:12

by Dr Pepper is called 361

30:15

Blue. Oh,

30:18

fancy.

30:20

Alright. Okay. We

30:23

361 we're supposed to answer questions in this podcast, Hank,

30:25

not pitch

30:26

Yes. Do that. Pitch your concepts to Dr Pepper.

30:28

Mhmm. Alright. Hank, this question comes from anonymous.

30:30

You're right. So I heard you're now offering decaf coffee, if you're

30:32

awesome coffee club. That's cool. But when are you

30:34

gonna make tea?

30:37

Oh, I

30:39

don't know. I don't know. I love tea

30:41

so much. I do too. I love tea. I wanna make

30:43

tea, but you got the loose leaf. You got

30:45

the pre bag

30:47

pre

30:47

bag. You've got the people who like their

30:50

361 meal, people who like their black teas. A

30:52

361 green teas. It's just a There's really

30:54

just there's three kinds of teas, John. Okay.

30:56

There's green tea, it's there's black tea.

30:58

Yeah. And there's, like, all the

31:00

weird things that people are up

31:03

to. Okay.

31:04

Alright. Those are the three types of tea. 361 green

31:06

tea, one black tea, and one

31:09

and we call it a weird tea that

31:11

represents what people are up

31:12

too, which is maybe like a different tea every

31:14

every 361. That's like a herbal tea?

31:17

Maybe. That's actually kinda that's not what I was

31:19

thinking. Feel like you just had that idea

31:21

right then, and it was really good. That's actually

31:23

really good. Because because, like, if you like

31:26

something with roty boos in it, Yeah.

31:28

You don't wanna have the same tea every day.

31:31

No. Whereas I, like

31:33

black

31:34

361, and I would like to have the same tea every

31:36

day.

31:36

Okay. Alright. So we But 361 if

31:38

you if you got a bunch of, like, flowers

31:41

in your tea Mhmm. -- then you don't want the same

31:43

tea every every

31:43

day. You want bunch of weird stuff. You want a tea 361 the

31:45

month club? Alright. Yeah. So then

31:47

we've got three 361,

31:49

but we don't have three products because we gotta go

31:51

bagged and unbagged. Right? We gotta go loose

31:54

and bagged. So we got six products

31:57

That's

31:57

a lot of work. And I don't know if we have do

31:59

we have two thousand customers for each of

32:01

those six products? That's not

32:03

I don't know, man. I think that I think

32:05

that we've I think there's a different I

32:07

think there's a different path that we have to start

32:09

looking at here. I think it's starting up a bunch

32:12

of clubs we

32:14

can't 361, it's

32:16

just we can't be doing everything

32:19

as a different club. Right?

32:21

Gotta find a I've gotta find a different way. If

32:23

32:37

Yeah. It gets the

32:39

32:42

me. And so I'm just gonna go straight to the sponsors,

32:47

The

32:47

awesome coffee club at awesome coffee club dot

32:49

com. Now we have decaf. It's not really

32:51

a joke sponsor. It's kind of a real

32:53

one. This broadcast is also brought to you by

32:55

all of the people who are gonna come for me for

I'm sure is not pronounced like that.

33:01

Yeah. But

33:02

I've never heard it spoken. I've only seen

33:04

it on the Ts. I've always

33:06

thought that it was rhombus. 361

33:10

34:00

God, can we talk about what happened to Hank dot com?

34:03

That's incredible. I mean, I really

34:05

feel like I am I don't

34:07

like to make myself the

34:08

hero. Yeah. But

34:11

I killed Hank dot com.

34:13

You're the myself. You're not the hero.

34:16

You obviously are not are

34:18

not anything, but the villaine. 361 villaine.

34:22

I

34:22

like that he will make work. So

34:27

361 I don't know what's going on with Hank dot com

34:29

right now. All we know is that

34:31

Hank and I made some good old

34:33

fashioned 361 of the world's greatest website

34:35

hank dot

34:36

com. And

34:37

the creator

34:37

of hank dot com seems to have taken down the website

34:39

in response, which is devastating. Devastating

34:43

because it was a great website

34:45

361 it couldn't have been --

34:46

Oh my god. -- it couldn't have been the cost of hosting

34:49

because that website is

34:51

four kilobytes big. Well,

34:54

361 good news. You go to the

34:56

website 361 nothing bad would happen.

35:00

Yeah. I I feel bad. I hope

35:02

Hank the of Hank dot com doesn't hate

35:04

me now. I hope that we're still

35:06

on good

35:07

terms. 361 I could not afford

35:09

the price that he wanted to charge me to buy it.

35:11

Oh, well, I looked at it with price 361 I also wanted

35:13

to afford it. And I can afford a lot

35:15

of things. Yeah.

35:19

I was like I was like this is a great

35:21

joke. It's not a six figure

35:23

joke. You know, like me buying

35:25

Hank dot com 361 then

35:27

banning you from using it is

35:30

hilarious. That's a great joke.

35:33

It can't it can't cause 361 great

35:35

bit. 361

35:36

It can't have a comma like 361.

35:39

It can have it can have a comma.

35:42

It can. Yeah. That joke. Okay. That's

35:44

a four

35:44

It 361 a comma. That's a four thousand dollar

35:47

joke. I would pay four thousand dollars for

35:49

that joke knowing that I could probably get

35:51

it. Four thousand dollars back by selling Hank

35:53

dot com to some other Hank. Yeah.

35:56

Oh my god. Two have had Hank

35:59

dot com. We also have a project for

36:01

awesome message. This is from mom and dad

36:03

and Baton Rouge to Oliver.

36:06

What what do you call an extraterrestrial

36:08

kangaroo? 361 Mars

36:10

Super Bowl.

36:11

This was the first joke that you ever

36:13

wrote 361 what comedy gold we've greatly

36:16

enjoyed your prolific works of short

36:18

stories and screenplays over the last several

36:20

years, and we are very proud of the writer

36:22

you are 361, keep asking questions.

36:24

Actively listening and finding humor and empathy

36:26

everywhere, high school's gonna be great.

36:29

Mom and dad. Mar is super

36:31

cute. That's good. Mar is super cute. It is good.

36:33

That's the kind of energy I want you to ring every

36:35

week.

36:36

That's my bad. I should we I should consult

36:38

Oliver. You should. You should.

36:43

This question comes from Jem who asks

36:45

Dear Hank and John in your recent video about the

36:48

deep sea 361 at the Monterrey Bay 361. You

36:50

mentioned that creatures don't need to be stored

36:52

at the same pressure as the deep sea

36:54

because if they're brought up slowly enough,

36:56

they're able to adjust. Does that work

36:58

the opposite way? If I were

37:00

in a submarine and it ruptured, would quickly

37:03

I would be in a lot of trouble. But if I went

37:05

down real slow, would I be

37:07

okay? And could I survive assuming I

37:09

have enough oxygen. What

37:11

a

37:12

gem? Great. That's

37:14

good. Gem,

37:17

no.

37:18

Don't do that. The the the

37:20

the we got a couple of problems,

37:22

specifically the air that's inside

37:25

of

37:25

us. So

37:25

you gotta have air inside of you, which

37:27

is why 361, like, some

37:30

some science fiction,

37:32

they breathe in like a liquid breathable

37:34

thing Right. And

37:35

that would allow for your lungs to get the oxygen

37:37

breathing this liquid thing without air,

37:40

which is very compressible. So what

37:42

air can squeeze very tightly? It's the

37:44

abyss. Yes. Yeah.

37:46

Oh, god. And that's real. Like, we can

37:48

make breathable liquids now, and

37:50

we've test them for various

37:52

situations where people's

37:54

lungs are damaged. Actually, more

37:56

for in hospital situations where their

37:59

lungs are damaged and having them be in

38:01

a liquid could actually be 361. But

38:05

it turns out it While

38:07

people can survive and 361 be

38:09

fine, it doesn't seem to have much therapy to

38:11

value. Yet,

38:14

I don't know. It's a script

38:16

that is maybe in the works at SciShow, and

38:18

so we've been looking at it. 361 the

38:21

it's it's cool. But the big

38:23

problem is that air is compressible

38:25

and so you're anything that would have air in

38:27

it would get

38:30

squished. Now, you also do wanna go

38:32

down very slowly when you're going

38:34

to any depth because there's nitrogen in your

38:36

blood. There's and 361 like, there's

38:38

oftentimes nitrogen in the in the air that you're

38:40

breathing, though sometimes you can have scuba tanks that don't

38:42

have 361, and that could dissolve 361

38:45

the higher pressures will dissolve more nitrogen

38:47

in your blood. And then as you come up, the pressure

38:49

decreases and that nitrogen

38:52

will no longer have a force dissolving it

38:54

in your blood and it will create bubbles and

38:56

then you have the bends where you have air

38:58

in your blood 361, which is very bad.

39:01

361 that's a separate problem from you cannot

39:03

go to a certain depth in the ocean because

39:05

you have

39:06

gas inside of you and that gas will

39:08

compress to the point where you no longer we'll

39:11

be able to brief.

39:13

So let's try to avoid that party, Jim.

39:16

Yes. It's neat though. We

39:19

have And those fish that they and and the fish

39:21

and jellyfish and stuff that they have at the 361 Bay

39:23

into the deep exhibit are

39:25

all animals that don't have gas inside

39:28

of them. Because there and there are deep

39:30

sea animals that do have gas inside of them 361 you cannot

39:32

bring them

39:32

up. Interesting. Alright. We have

39:34

another question from Ori who writes dear John and

39:36

Hank, my ten year old daughter Ori is a new

39:38

nerdfighter and has the following question for you. If

39:40

people say things are going south when

39:43

something bad happens, Why don't they

39:45

say things are going north when something

39:47

good happens

39:49

or in Rachel? I

39:51

I think we should

39:52

I think we gotta get rid of this whole idea idea

39:54

that south is down and north is 361. As you know,

39:56

Hank. Mhmm. I think we need to just

39:59

do away with

39:59

it. I think we need to start saying going north when things

40:01

are going south and going south when things are going

40:03

north. I think we need to

40:05

Well, there is a way in which that makes sense.

40:08

361, are you ready to get your mind blown?

40:10

Yes. The North Pole --

40:12

Uh-huh. -- is a South Pole. What

40:15

what?

40:16

So then 361 compass needle -- Uh-huh.

40:19

-- is 361 is the north part of a magnet

40:21

-- is the part that points north --

40:22

Uh-huh. -- and the north part of magnet Point

40:25

two is attracted

40:27

to the south pole of another 361.

40:30

And the Earth is a giant magnet because

40:32

it has got vast lots of stuff flowing

40:34

around the inside. So the Earth is giant magnet. Uh-huh.

40:36

And the and the North compass

40:39

needle points Two.

40:43

What 361 does the North compass need to point to?

40:45

The south pole? A south

40:47

pole, but it's

40:48

choosing north

40:49

pole. We

40:51

know it's a south pole. Is

40:52

a south pole. Yeah. So

40:56

we need south pole of the giant earth magnet.

40:58

So you're right. 361

41:00

also everything's subjective

41:03

and there is no up and down. The soul is just

41:05

really a tougher

41:06

thought. I really I feel bad for Ori having

41:08

to tell them the big news that

41:10

there is no up or down or

41:13

left and right except in so

41:15

far as your abs you're

41:17

observing it as as you are. Yeah.

41:20

And that matters. So your left is

41:22

left 361 you, but it's not left.

41:26

Well, the weird thing is that we extend this out

41:28

to the whole rest of the solar 361. And so,

41:30

like, we've got a top of

41:32

earth. Uh-huh. And also, we've

41:34

decided that there's a top of Jupiter. Tote.

41:37

And there's a top of the

41:38

sun. Yeah. It's wild. Yeah.

41:41

That's why that Jupiter storm is always

41:43

in the same place, even though it's not.

41:45

Like, I

41:46

mean, it is always in the same place, but, like,

41:49

whether it's up or down is is

41:52

is in our minds. Yes.

41:54

Yes. 361 part of the planet because it is

41:56

it is on in the southern hemisphere

41:59

of Jupiter, I think. Yes. And

42:01

so it yeah. Yeah. Just below.

42:04

And so I think that we sort of think of it as being,

42:06

like, on the bottom half of Jupiter.

42:08

Yeah. But the the weird thing is that

42:10

there is So 361

42:12

solar system and Earth does have,

42:14

like, two sides.

42:17

There is, like, it's a flat thing,

42:19

so just like a piece of paper. There's

42:21

side side. There's one side and there's another

42:24

side. And it seems

42:26

like you can't have 361, like, sides without

42:28

having one be the top side.

42:31

Corey,

42:31

we don't know the answer to your question.

42:32

This is problem with my brain. We don't that

42:35

that got that got too deep for me.

42:37

Corey, I got kinda I got I started

42:39

to feel little vertigo. Sorry.

42:42

You're 361 upside down. Hank,

42:44

before we get to the news from Mars and AFC World

42:46

then, I just wanna say, hey, one thing about

42:49

two or two things. 361 about a number

42:51

of emails that we received. So

42:54

my first novel looking for Alaska came out almost

42:56

twenty years ago and it's recently been

42:58

targeted for removal from

43:00

a lot of high school English 361 and

43:02

also from school libraries. And

43:07

361 most extreme example of this so far is that

43:09

a parent filed a police report

43:14

saying that a teacher who'd made this book available

43:16

had committed a crime, a felony, by

43:19

distributing 361 seeing material to

43:21

361, and which

43:25

would also make me guilty of felony

43:27

creating that obscene material for children.

43:30

And It's very

43:33

weird time in my life professionally.

43:36

The it it it is weird to have this happening

43:38

with a book that that's that's twenty years old

43:40

361 has been,

43:43

you know, very generously

43:45

received over the years.

43:48

It's just a strange situation, but I do appreciate

43:50

your kind words about it. And the

43:52

main thing is that I am not the main

43:54

character of of those stories, the

43:56

the teachers and librarians whose careers

43:59

are affected are are the main characters.

44:01

And so if this is happening in your community

44:04

and there are ways that you can support those

44:05

teachers, and librarians, that

44:08

would be the kindest thing that you could do for

44:10

me. I just think in

44:13

addition to being You

44:17

know, like, I I, like, I can get really

44:19

hot about this. It seems very extreme to me.

44:21

But it also seems like

44:23

361. It seems -- Yeah.

44:25

Well,

44:26

I mean, it's ridiculous. -- people have gotten really

44:28

disconnected from reality. And

44:30

not not a lot of people. 361 but

44:32

people who have support and have community

44:34

around this stuff. And it's it's

44:37

it's it's Like,

44:40

I don't Like, the

44:43

fact that we have to take it seriously as wild

44:45

and 361 course we do, but it also, like,

44:47

that it should be said that it's

44:49

just very silly. Like, these

44:51

people like, it it comes like, it's the

44:54

same with the freaking m and ms

44:56

being part of the discourse.

44:58

It's just -- Yeah. -- ridiculous. 361 have, like,

45:00

are not connected to things that actually matter.

45:03

No. It's definitely Absolutely. But it but

45:05

it does really matter when

45:07

a teacher is forced out of the

45:09

classroom for three weeks and is

45:11

subject subjected to multiple interrogations

45:15

in a police department related

45:18

to making books

45:20

available to kids. So

45:23

we do have to take it seriously because of

45:26

that, because it's affecting real people's

45:28

real professional and personal lives in

45:30

such intense ways. 361 it's obviously

45:32

ludicrous. I mean, I've

45:35

read looking for 361, not recent,

45:38

but it's not just to

45:40

state the 361, like, it's not pornography.

45:43

361, like, nobody

45:46

who reads it would conclude 361. You

45:48

know, like, 361. Period.

45:52

Yep. And so,

45:54

you know, taking it

45:57

to that extreme where you're

45:59

subjecting somebody to

46:01

potentially, you know, catastrophic

46:03

consequences for making a book

46:05

available is yeah,

46:09

it's it's ridiculous, but it's also

46:11

kind of terrifying. There's there's

46:13

something about our our moment where

46:16

the ridiculous and the terrifying are

46:18

have intertwined in some ways. Speaking

46:21

of the ridiculous, 361 people

46:24

have written in as well, Hank, to talk about

46:27

sixteen weeks to glory. My idea

46:29

for a streaming show

46:32

it wouldn't stream on Netflix. It would stream

46:34

on dropout or something --

46:36

Yeah. -- in which you and I train

46:39

hardcore for sixteen weeks.

46:42

Sixteen weeks to glory, and at the end

46:44

of it, we box each other. And lots of

46:46

people have said that they don't like that

46:47

361. Almost

46:48

here. Yeah. Like me, for example, you don't like

46:50

that 361. Our spouses don't like that idea.

46:53

And for that matter, 361 community doesn't like that

46:55

idea. The only person who likes that idea is

46:58

361 guy who was bookless boxing reviewer in

47:00

two thousand three, but 361

47:04

written in to say, sixteen weeks 361 glory

47:06

is of course a phenomenal idea. You need a

47:08

goal, a glory that is as funny as boxing,

47:11

but not as violent and dangerous. The

47:13

answer is the world's largest

47:16

obstacle course, and I

47:19

I'm interested.

47:23

I also like like because apart

47:26

partly because an obstacle course, the obstacles

47:28

can be

47:29

anything. They could be anything.

47:31

It could be. They can be chess. Whoa.

47:34

Did we just think of chess at the same time? How

47:36

did that Had chess. I don't even know the rule science.

47:38

I don't even know how that's really either. Why

47:40

did we talk about chess at the same moment? And,

47:44

like, Like, they could it could be, like, you

47:46

have to 361 the game of chess has to end.

47:48

Yes. So you don't have to

47:49

win. It just has to end. So you could, like, have

47:51

to Yes. You have to play both

47:53

sides 361 you have to get to a resolution. Right.

47:56

Oh my god. That sounds miserable. It

47:59

is very possible by the way that I would

48:01

I would end up drawing myself. I would

48:03

like, after forty five minutes, I would be like,

48:05

well, I guess it's a tie. Yeah.

48:09

The end game. I'm just not strong in the end game.

48:11

361 told me how the king moves.

48:13

Jesus. Yeah.

48:17

It could be. So it could be a mix of physical

48:19

obstacles and psychosocial and

48:21

emotional

48:22

361. Like, maybe Oh, emotional obstacles.

48:24

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

48:26

You have to, like, stand there while your friends

48:28

361 you.

48:30

Yes. Or

48:31

Very awkward. Yeah. Yeah.

48:35

Yeah. You gotta say, like, three things

48:37

sincerely about yourself that you that

48:39

you've learned that you love during the sixteen

48:41

weeks.

48:43

Oh, that's great. That's how about

48:45

how about this one? You have to say

48:47

on adjective

48:48

361 we're not telling you which adjective it is.

48:51

I

48:51

love it. I love it. 361

48:53

the back to the other idea that we have that

48:55

was bad. How Okay.

48:59

Okay. We have to name a US president.

49:01

Smaller group. Name a US president, but we'd

49:03

it it's one of

49:04

361. We're not gonna tell you which one. You know this much

49:07

361? Fill more. No.

49:09

The great thing about that is that, like,

49:11

if you know the obstacles in advance, you

49:14

can train on them. Right? So, like, Oh,

49:16

I think some them should be surprises. Okay.

49:19

I love the idea

49:20

of, like, training on the fast

49:22

-- Oh, shit. -- chest rescue.

49:25

Oh, only or you you train on how to say

49:27

361 president's most quickly. Yeah.

49:29

Yeah. And maybe it's not maybe

49:31

it's not alphabetical. Maybe or

49:33

maybe it's not chronological. Like, maybe

49:35

-- Yeah. -- maybe what you actually have to do

49:37

is say that 361 with the shortest

49:39

names first. I

49:42

got an idea for a great obstacle. Okay.

49:47

361 impressive that the other person

49:49

doesn't know about you. So

49:52

we have

49:52

to, like, create a scale that

49:54

we didn't have before sixteen weeks to glory.

49:57

Right. Where you have to, like, play the star

49:59

spangled banner on the flute. Yeah.

50:01

You've got to be pia with the violin. Gotta

50:03

be pia with the violin. You gotta have like a secret

50:06

snake handling skill that you haven't told

50:08

361 buddy about

50:09

it. That's

50:10

a separate that's a separate old joke.

50:13

And that one The Steaks 361 Secret Steak.

50:15

That 361, it it's not like you gotta, like,

50:17

race through all of these. Like, that one

50:19

maybe would be crap. Yeah. Yeah. You go. So,

50:22

like, it would be, like, well, I actually think that,

50:24

like, Hank learning to play the flute

50:26

was less impressive than John Wirtgen, how

50:28

to charm 361 cobra.

50:34

Alright. That's

50:37

great, John. 361 for the I love to fantasize

50:39

about the things that we definitely can't do

50:41

anytime

50:42

soon. I don't know, man. I feel like I feel

50:44

like if we just kind of collectively agree

50:47

to clear the decks and prioritize

50:50

our physical psychological and

50:53

intellectual well-being in sixteen weeks to

50:55

glory, I feel like good

50:57

things could

50:57

happen. The

51:00

world's weirdest. It doesn't have to be the longest obstacle

51:02

course because there's all those, like, mud those,

51:04

like, mud run

51:05

races. Oh, yeah. I was thinking I was

51:07

thinking it's the world's the weirdest. 361 world's

51:09

longest inflatable obstacle

51:12

course. Not -- Oh. -- not any mud

51:14

races. There should be an inflatable

51:16

obstacle course optical course portion. Yeah.

51:18

Exactly. But it shouldn't all be inflatable obstacle

51:21

course. And it should -- Mhmm. -- and and

51:23

and and it should be some kind of point system

51:25

where a lot of it's timed,

51:28

but not all of it. Right.

51:30

Yeah. So, like, there are points where

51:32

the timer stops and then

51:34

you, like, get time to do

51:36

something. Right. It's like the did a rock. Like, you've

51:38

got a you you have to take some rest for

51:40

your kids. It's

51:42

a multi day obstacle course. It's like

51:44

a three day sixteen

51:46

hours a day obstacle course. Great.

51:50

This is such a funny idea 361, like,

51:52

it would honestly not be a bad

51:54

Netflix

51:55

show. I mean, I agree.

51:57

I think that is

51:58

probably the funniest idea we're gonna get because,

52:00

like, it allows for a lot of different funny

52:02

ideas.

52:03

Yeah.

52:03

Could we just go to wherever they film wipe out?

52:07

361 have that be part of it? Just

52:10

just assume that it's like still there,

52:12

but sort of it is slightly cayed way

52:14

by the end of this weekend

52:15

part. Part of the odds of course is up to twenty years.

52:17

You have to break into the wipeout course.

52:22

Obstacle one. Make

52:25

your way into the wipeout zone. Oh,

52:28

man. We have to pick a lock.

52:33

I'm

52:33

in trouble. If we've got to pick a lock, I actually

52:35

I retire.

52:37

It's not

52:37

gonna be me. I'm not gonna I've seen that lock.

52:40

Lockpicking lawyer I do it. It looks very easy.

52:42

Yeah. Yeah. It does look easy when he does it.

52:44

Alright. Hank, it's time for the news from Mars and AFC

52:46

Wimbledon. The news from AFC Wimbledon is

52:48

that AFC Wimbledon lost a football game

52:50

361 I have to say we want I watched the game

52:53

and we looked we're up against

52:55

the best team in the

52:56

league, late in orient.

52:58

Mhmm. We looked Now

53:00

they have had two

53:02

361 in their last five games, so they're not like on

53:05

a tear or anything. I

53:07

thought we looked pretty good. I thought we were a

53:09

little unlucky to lose. I was very

53:11

frustrated that we didn't finish a

53:13

couple 361 361 being

53:16

frustrated about

53:18

losing to the top team is a

53:20

is a reasonable good sign, I think.

53:23

Mhmm. So the most

53:25

important, the headline remains 361

53:28

Wimbledon fifteen points clear of replication.

53:32

With eighteen games to

53:34

go. We probably need like

53:36

four more wins in those eighteen games

53:38

in order to stay

53:39

361, so I feel pretty good about that. I feel

53:41

like it should happen.

53:43

And so Be hard to lose

53:45

all of them. Well, tell that

53:47

to us last season.

53:49

You did lose a lot in a row.

53:51

Yeah. We didn't win a game for, like, two hundred

53:53

eighty three days. Yeah.

53:56

So -- Okay. -- if anything's possible, but

53:58

we're in twelfth place with

54:00

eighteen games to

54:01

go. Looking pretty good. Alright.

54:04

Well, in Mars news, 361

54:07

rover has found a meteorite.

54:09

Oh, boy. It's 361 team has named 361. It's

54:12

about a foot wide. It's a big meteorite.

54:14

It's a big chunk and it's standing out a

54:17

lot from its surroundings because it is

54:19

made of metal. It's mainly made of iron and

54:21

nickel and so it is like gray

54:24

almost shiny like it's

54:26

a big lump of metal. Mhmm. The the team

54:28

released a photo of it, which is really pretty.

54:30

You can see all of it's like grooves and pits,

54:32

which are called 361 regmoglips.

54:36

Oh. When regmoglips

54:38

form when 361 was going through Mars'

54:40

atmosphere, 361 the hot

54:42

gas melted the rock

54:43

as it came through the atmosphere.

54:46

Yes? You thought Hank's pronunciation of Roybus

54:48

was bad. I

54:51

mean, I don't know. I definitely know

54:53

Roy how I said Roy Bruce was wrong, but Regmy

54:56

Glips, I might have got right. We

54:58

don't know how long since It's been since

55:00

that meteorite arrived on Mars. It's

55:02

361 of a few meteorites that the rover

55:04

has found since landing in twenty twelve,

55:06

including the including

55:10

the twenty sixteen golf ball

55:12

sized meteorite that was named Egg Rock.

55:15

361 it's easier to find meteorites

55:17

on Mars. 361 lot more than I like 361. I

55:21

feel like they really stepped up their game between

55:23

Agrok and Kical. They

55:26

realize that people are paying attention.

55:28

Yeah. So it's it's easier to find meteorites

55:30

on the surface of Mars because there's no

55:33

there's not as much stuff happening.

55:35

There's not like water flowing around 361

55:37

not as much 361. Just

55:39

like it's easier to find meteorites

55:42

when you're on Earth. 361 easiest place to find meteorites

55:44

is Antarctica 361 not a

55:46

lot water falls there. The snow falls

55:48

very slowly. It's basically a desert

55:50

and also it's very white. So

55:52

anything that you find

55:53

there, have 361 get there

55:56

something out. Right. So if it's

55:57

if it's there, it's probably a meteorite, which

55:59

is wild or human trash It

56:02

could also be human trash. Could

56:05

be both. Could be a meteorite. I didn't want

56:07

anymore. John, thanks
