[00:00:28] Speaker D: Are playing balderdash with the words we did not understand in Funholm.
[00:00:33] Speaker E: I was thinking, that's a lot like mine, so it's probably number one, but maybe I'm really smart.
[00:00:39] Speaker F: The definition seems so obvious.
[00:00:43] Speaker G: Pitiful inability too. Not just like no judgment?
[00:00:46] Speaker F: No, it's like the worst of the worst.
[00:00:50] Speaker G: I need to change my definition to do with pornography.
[00:00:56] Speaker H: How about this? Don't be so pathetic. You have to wash your cryptuscular shaft.
[00:01:06] Speaker I: You ready, guys?
[00:01:07] Speaker G: Let's do this.
[00:01:12] Speaker I: Express yourself. Share the wealth. Hold on to your bookmark. We're off the shelf. Express yourself. It's good for your health. Book interrupted is off the shelf.
[00:01:29] Speaker H: This episode of book interrupted is off the shelf. Hold on to your bookmarks.
[00:01:35] Speaker D: All right, so welcome to this off the shelf episode where we are playing Balderdash with the words we did not understand in funhome by Allison Bechtel.
Okay, I am the host, and Meredith, Lindsay, Kara and Kim will be guessing what the true definition is and they have submitted fake definitions to fool us.
[00:02:05] Speaker E: Our first fake one.
[00:02:07] Speaker I: I know.
[00:02:08] Speaker D: No.
[00:02:10] Speaker G: So there'll only be four options, correct?
[00:02:13] Speaker D: Right. Four options.
[00:02:15] Speaker E: Right. That's a good number.
[00:02:17] Speaker H: Yeah, otherwise I can't remember more than that.
[00:02:20] Speaker D: All right. Are you guys listening? I'm going to do it with the dictionary.
Oh, wait a minute. It won't do that because it'll go into my headphones.
[00:02:30] Speaker F: Okay, shucks.
[00:02:32] Speaker E: Just wait a minute. Just say it.
[00:02:34] Speaker I: You can?
[00:02:34] Speaker G: Yeah, just say it and we'll resay it. If you say it in some weird way where we're like, do you mean humectant?
[00:02:41] Speaker E: You know we will.
[00:02:42] Speaker H: Humectate is the word.
[00:02:44] Speaker D: Humectant.
[00:02:44] Speaker I: There you go.
[00:02:45] Speaker G: So you don't have to say anything. We'll still be like, do you mean.
[00:02:49] Speaker H: Why don't you spell it too?
[00:02:51] Speaker I: Okay.
[00:02:51] Speaker D: Humectant. H-U-M-E-C-T-A-N-T. Humectant.
[00:03:00] Speaker E: What could it mean?
[00:03:02] Speaker F: The definition seems so obvious.
[00:03:07] Speaker D: To appear moist and carry a strong, sweet stench. Humectant. To engage in speaking moistly or an involuntary release of air vibration through the lips. Humectant. Involuntary or a substance that absorbs or helps another substance retain moisture.
[00:03:36] Speaker E: Okay, so we're going to do the same thing where we put up fingers, right?
[00:03:41] Speaker H: Right.
[00:03:42] Speaker F: Oh, yeah.
[00:03:43] Speaker I: Okay, wait.
[00:03:43] Speaker H: I need a review. So the first one is.
[00:03:46] Speaker D: Number one is to peer moist and carry a strong, sweet stench. Two, to engage in speaking moistly.
What does that mean anyway?
[00:03:58] Speaker E: Three, so much moisture.
[00:04:01] Speaker D: Three, an involuntary release of air vibration through the lips. Four, a substance that absorbs or helps another substance retain moisture.
All right, on the count of 3123, go.
Oh, the correct answer is four.
[00:04:32] Speaker H: I was number three. That was mine. Kim picked number three.
[00:04:37] Speaker I: The lips was Lindsay.
[00:04:39] Speaker D: Yes.
[00:04:40] Speaker E: Mine was a Trudeau reference because I couldn't resist.
[00:04:43] Speaker F: It was impossible to resist.
[00:04:45] Speaker H: Oh, I liked the Trudeau reference. I thought that was funny, but I obviously knew that was moistly.
[00:04:51] Speaker F: Moistly. I liked number three the most. It was hilarious. The involuntary air.
[00:04:57] Speaker H: I did that because of humming. That's where I got humming. Like involuntary air through the lips of.
I picked three because it was the.
[00:05:07] Speaker G: Only one that didn't have moist. So I thought everybody's fake definition assumed a moist.
[00:05:13] Speaker I: I know.
[00:05:15] Speaker D: I don't surprise when there are so much moist. Really do know words.
[00:05:20] Speaker E: Moist.
[00:05:21] Speaker D: All right, thank you, Lindsay. Let me get it.
[00:05:22] Speaker H: So what did Kara pick?
[00:05:24] Speaker F: Four.
[00:05:25] Speaker D: She picked four as well. The score right now is Meredith, one, Kara, one. Kim, zero. Lindsay, two.
[00:05:36] Speaker F: All right, nice.
It's getting serious now.
[00:05:42] Speaker H: I just made mine up, Kara. And, like, right before we started taping, I was like, I need two.
[00:05:48] Speaker I: Oh, this sounds good. Lock it in.
[00:05:50] Speaker E: Just made it up. So good.
[00:05:53] Speaker H: Yeah, I kind of thought it was something to do with the humidity. Makes sense that that's the root of it. I wanted to do something different, like humming.
[00:06:03] Speaker E: Very nice.
[00:06:04] Speaker D: All right, next word.
[00:06:06] Speaker E: So serious.
[00:06:07] Speaker F: I know. I hope it's the funniest word ever. The next one with your serious crepus.
[00:06:14] Speaker D: Crepuscular.
[00:06:18] Speaker H: Hold on, I can put it on my phone. So that one?
[00:06:21] Speaker D: Yeah. Perpuscular.
[00:06:22] Speaker I: Wow.
[00:06:23] Speaker G: Very sensual.
[00:06:24] Speaker I: Wow, that's a Marilyn.
[00:06:26] Speaker H: Sensual.
Capusular.
[00:06:32] Speaker G: I need to change my definition to do with pornography.
[00:06:38] Speaker E: How do you know the real definition is not?
[00:06:41] Speaker H: Your shaft is so prickpuscular?
[00:06:48] Speaker E: I don't know. It doesn't sound sexy when you say shaft.
[00:06:52] Speaker G: When you say shaft.
[00:06:54] Speaker E: I don't think shaft should be capuscular, but I'm not sure we're going to find out.
[00:06:58] Speaker I: Yeah, we are.
[00:06:59] Speaker F: All right, what are those definitions?
[00:07:01] Speaker H: Wait, how do you spell it? Did you spell it?
[00:07:03] Speaker D: Oh, no, I didn't.
[00:07:04] Speaker H: Sorry.
[00:07:05] Speaker I: Okay.
[00:07:05] Speaker D: C-R-E-P-U-S-C-U-L-A-R. Puscular.
[00:07:14] Speaker I: Okay.
[00:07:16] Speaker F: I'm going to die. If one of the definitions includes the words shaft, that's the one I'm picking.
[00:07:21] Speaker I: I'm going to lose it at that point. Lose it?
[00:07:25] Speaker E: We can't be drinking while she's reading it.
[00:07:27] Speaker D: Then first, related to or resembling twilight, dim. Second one is gnarled and twisted.
[00:07:39] Speaker G: Your shaft is crepustulous.
[00:07:43] Speaker I: Gnarled and twisted.
[00:07:46] Speaker D: Three, the lowest part of the surface of a liquid in a test tube.
Four, wrinkled with large, deep folds.
[00:08:02] Speaker H: Your shaft is.
[00:08:05] Speaker E: Okay. The first one has to do with being dim.
[00:08:08] Speaker H: Like at twilight.
[00:08:10] Speaker I: Yes, dim.
[00:08:11] Speaker E: And the second one has to do.
[00:08:12] Speaker D: With being gnarled and twisted.
[00:08:14] Speaker E: Gnarled and twisted.
[00:08:17] Speaker F: And so does the fourth one. Kind of.
[00:08:19] Speaker E: And the third one was the lowest.
[00:08:21] Speaker D: Part of the surface of the liquid in a test tube. Right. The fourth one was wrinkled with large deep folds.
[00:08:32] Speaker I: Okay, wait.
[00:08:33] Speaker G: What was the first one again?
[00:08:34] Speaker H: Dim.
[00:08:35] Speaker E: Like twilight.
[00:08:36] Speaker D: Resembling twilight or dim?
[00:08:39] Speaker F: Are you ready?
[00:08:40] Speaker D: All right, ready. One, two, three, go.
[00:08:47] Speaker H: Lindsay has one.
[00:08:49] Speaker E: Kim, two.
[00:08:50] Speaker F: Tara, two.
[00:08:51] Speaker G: Meredith, four.
[00:08:53] Speaker D: And the answer is one. Twilight. Lindsay got.
[00:08:58] Speaker I: Nicely done, Lindsay.
[00:09:01] Speaker F: I never would have guessed number one.
[00:09:03] Speaker E: I almost did that one. That's great.
[00:09:05] Speaker H: But I love that mare and Kim have the same kind of definition on both of those words. The first ones were both moist. These ones were both gnarled.
[00:09:13] Speaker I: Oh, yeah.
[00:09:14] Speaker E: That's why I almost didn't guess it. I was like, oh, could I? But gnarled and twisted, that's mine.
Number two. And I.
[00:09:26] Speaker H: Was the liquid one. I was like, mare's never. What is that curve? Meniscus.
[00:09:33] Speaker E: I almost guessed one because I thought number four was too much like mine. But then I thought, maybe I'm smart.
[00:09:39] Speaker D: What was it again? Who got two?
[00:09:41] Speaker I: Who picked two?
[00:09:42] Speaker H: I kidding.
[00:09:44] Speaker F: Kim and Kara.
[00:09:45] Speaker G: So now Mera has three points, so.
[00:09:47] Speaker F: We know Meredith gets additional pointage.
[00:09:49] Speaker D: Okay, Lindsay got Lindsay.
[00:09:52] Speaker F: She got it right.
[00:09:54] Speaker D: And Meredith, what did you pick?
[00:09:56] Speaker E: Oh, I picked four. So Kim gets. Okay, I was thinking that's a lot like mine, so it's probably number one, but maybe I'm really smart. That's what I thought.
[00:10:04] Speaker G: Exactly the same thing. I was like, maybe I was close.
[00:10:08] Speaker E: Maybe sounds like it.
[00:10:10] Speaker H: Where are we at now?
[00:10:12] Speaker D: So Meredith has three points, Kara has one point, Kim has one point, and Lindsay has three points.
[00:10:18] Speaker F: Nice. Okay.

[00:11:24] Speaker E: Is that how you say it? Rococo?
[00:11:26] Speaker H: Is that too.
[00:11:29] Speaker D: Rococo?
[00:11:30] Speaker E: I don't know where the emphasis is. Which syllable.
[00:11:32] Speaker D: Yeah, me neither.
[00:11:33] Speaker E: Rokoko.
Cindy.
[00:11:38] Speaker I: Oh, yeah.
[00:11:39] Speaker E: This is like from the third one. This sounds like a vertical rococo.
[00:11:43] Speaker F: She didn't sound sultry.
She was like, yeah.
[00:11:51] Speaker D: R-O-C-O-C-O. Ro.
[00:11:58] Speaker F: Okay.
[00:12:00] Speaker D: A late 20th century art movement or slang describing of moroccan origin an ornate or flawed in speech, a literary style, a period of art indicated by ornate decoration.
[00:12:38] Speaker G: And then the first one has.
[00:12:39] Speaker D: I know, art.
[00:12:41] Speaker I: Yes.
[00:12:41] Speaker F: The first one also did a late.
[00:12:43] Speaker D: 20Th century art movement.
[00:12:46] Speaker F: I really want to pick up my phone and Google right now.
[00:12:49] Speaker D: They're all the same.
[00:12:51] Speaker E: And what was number two again? Moroccan slang.
[00:12:55] Speaker D: Yeah, moroccan slang.
[00:12:57] Speaker F: What's it going to be? What's it going to be?
[00:13:01] Speaker E: I have a guess.
[00:13:02] Speaker B: I'm ready.
[00:13:02] Speaker H: I know.
[00:13:03] Speaker D: Are you ready?
[00:13:04] Speaker E: Yes.
[00:13:05] Speaker D: One, two, three, go.
[00:13:08] Speaker F: Oh, so Meredith and Kim and Kara have three. Lindsay went with one. Let's find out.
[00:13:16] Speaker H: I know I'm right because I know the. Oh, what?
[00:13:19] Speaker D: No, Marie is right.
[00:13:20] Speaker H: Really? It's also an art period.
[00:13:23] Speaker E: Two points for me.
[00:13:26] Speaker H: Coco is an art period.
[00:13:29] Speaker D: Well, because that definition had adjectives and there was, like, a lot. So the simplest one, that is a style of architecture originating in France in the 1720s, evolved from bareque. Thank you. Baroque, maybe, pipes, and distinguished by its elegant refinement. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
[00:13:51] Speaker G: If you know the word, Lindsay.
[00:13:55] Speaker H: But it wasn't the right word and it wasn't the right definition anyway.
[00:13:58] Speaker E: Right. I got it wrong. 18th century, not 20th.
[00:14:01] Speaker D: Oh, yeah. And it's not 20th century, it's 18th.
[00:14:04] Speaker H: It's fair.
[00:14:05] Speaker F: Oh, that was the.
[00:14:08] Speaker H: That would make sense.
[00:14:10] Speaker E: I did not know what it was, though. When I picked that definition, though, I just like. It sounds like an art thing. It sounds like an art thing.
[00:14:16] Speaker D: There you go. Okay, good. Okay, mayor.
[00:14:20] Speaker G: I picked it because it was a literary. And we know that our author was full of literary techniques. So I was like, this has got to be it.
[00:14:28] Speaker I: Interesting.
[00:14:28] Speaker H: I didn't know it was also a literary.
[00:14:32] Speaker D: Yes, it's also a music style.
[00:14:36] Speaker H: Yeah.
[00:14:37] Speaker F: So, in summary, it's an ornate, artistic.
[00:14:41] Speaker H: It's very ornate. My definition was actually one of the could have been. I put number four. But I already knew the answer. That's what I thought. I knew the answer, obviously.
[00:14:52] Speaker G: Do you know the answers to any of the other words, Lindsay, before we move ahead.
[00:14:56] Speaker H: Not telling you, maybe.
I also think I knew myself now.
[00:15:02] Speaker G: And if Lindsay sweeps the rest of these ones, we know.
[00:15:05] Speaker H: All right, well, mayor's got to be winning now, I think.
[00:15:09] Speaker E: You know what's nice is after I decided to make the true do reference moistly, I couldn't resist. Well, it's okay if I don't win. I'm going to put in speaking moistly. Because it's hilarious.
[00:15:19] Speaker I: Exactly.
[00:15:20] Speaker F: Right.
[00:15:20] Speaker D: Meredith has five, Kara has two, Kim has and Nancy has four.
[00:15:28] Speaker H: I think I only have three, don't I? Or did I get.
[00:15:30] Speaker E: I didn't get.
[00:15:30] Speaker D: All right, you got it wrong.
[00:15:32] Speaker F: I'm kind of losing confidence in the score keeper.
I am teasing.
[00:15:40] Speaker E: You don't have a future as a game show host.
[00:15:42] Speaker I: But that's okay.
[00:15:46] Speaker F: It's just a game.
[00:15:47] Speaker H: Done.
[00:15:48] Speaker E: What's the next word?
[00:15:51] Speaker H: I don't have it. I can't play it. Hold on. I don't want to see the. Yeah, there you go.
[00:15:57] Speaker G: That's how she knows the answers, too.
[00:15:59] Speaker I: Looking them up.
[00:16:00] Speaker H: Do you hear it?
[00:16:01] Speaker D: Pathetic.
[00:16:03] Speaker I: Did she say pathetic?
[00:16:05] Speaker H: Pathetic.
[00:16:06] Speaker D: With a b. Pathetic.
Spell it.
[00:16:10] Speaker I: Yours.
[00:16:13] Speaker H: You spell it.
[00:16:14] Speaker D: B-A-T-H-E-T-I-C. Pathetic.
[00:16:20] Speaker F: I see.
[00:16:22] Speaker H: I don't know the answer.
[00:16:23] Speaker F: Pathetic. Yeah.
[00:16:27] Speaker H: I know a lot of words.
[00:16:28] Speaker F: Some definitions.
[00:16:29] Speaker G: I know. I was worried about you with this one. I was like, how do I pick these words? She's a word Wednesday woman.
[00:16:34] Speaker I: She's going to know them.
[00:16:36] Speaker H: I do not know this word.
[00:16:39] Speaker D: The art of bubble sculpture within a container of water.
[00:16:44] Speaker E: Wait, bubble what sculpture?
[00:16:46] Speaker D: Bubble sculptures within a container of water.
[00:16:51] Speaker F: I want to go see some bubble sculpture.
[00:16:54] Speaker E: Sounds great.
[00:16:55] Speaker D: Characterized by bathos emotionalism of soap opera.
Full of hope or promise or. The last one is pitiful inability to wash oneself.
Pitiful.
[00:17:12] Speaker I: Sympathetic.
[00:17:17] Speaker G: All right, again, a pitiful inability, too. That's no judgment.
[00:17:21] Speaker F: No, it's like the worst of the worst.
[00:17:25] Speaker D: Okay, so one more time. The art of bubble sculpture within a container of water.
Two is characterized by bathos emotionalism of soap operas. Three is full of hope or promise. And four is pitiful inability to wash oneself.
[00:17:48] Speaker F: Jeez.
[00:17:52] Speaker I: These are really harsh.
Yes. Can it.
[00:17:56] Speaker F: Please, can we just make it be number four so that we can start implementing the word into our nomenclature.
[00:18:02] Speaker I: Game over.
Right?
[00:18:05] Speaker D: Pathetic. Pathetic.
[00:18:10] Speaker F: Pretty pitiful that you can't wash yourself in a bath.
[00:18:13] Speaker I: You're pathetically pathetic.
[00:18:20] Speaker D: Okay, are you ready, everyone? One, two, three, go.
[00:18:27] Speaker F: Oh, I wanted to do number four.
[00:18:28] Speaker E: I wanted to do two, and I didn't do it.
[00:18:30] Speaker D: I was like, all right, this is Linda, right? Yes. Characterize bathos.
[00:18:38] Speaker E: No, that's me.
[00:18:39] Speaker H: Mine. I was going with the bath thing, too.
[00:18:42] Speaker E: I was going to do two, and I was like, it sounds like a lot like a definition. And I was like, maybe I'll throw in a wild card.
[00:18:48] Speaker H: Anyway, I was going to do one.
[00:18:49] Speaker G: Or two, and at the last minute, I was like. I couldn't even remember what two was, but I just ran away from one.
[00:18:54] Speaker F: Luckily, everything within me wanted to hold up four fingers.
[00:18:59] Speaker I: It was hard to keep two of them down.
[00:19:01] Speaker F: I went with two, but I wanted four.
[00:19:04] Speaker I: Totally mine. I couldn't resist.
[00:19:05] Speaker E: I was like, I'm not trying to win. I have to do something hilarious.
[00:19:08] Speaker I: It is hilarious.
[00:19:10] Speaker F: It was great.
[00:19:11] Speaker E: Well, I started taking the game seriously, and then Dan's like, no, someone's got.
[00:19:15] Speaker H: To do the jokes.
[00:19:16] Speaker E: And I was like, you're right. Someone does have to do the jokes.
[00:19:20] Speaker F: We need speaking moistly.
[00:19:21] Speaker I: We need pathetic bathing routines.
[00:19:24] Speaker E: Yeah, there you go.
[00:19:26] Speaker D: I'm going to use pathetic as your definition going forward.
[00:19:30] Speaker I: Yes.
[00:19:30] Speaker D: Don't be pathetic.
[00:19:32] Speaker H: Don't be so pathetic.
[00:19:33] Speaker I: For sure. It's.
[00:19:35] Speaker E: For goodness sake.
[00:19:37] Speaker H: How about this? Don't be so pathetic. You have to wash your cryptuscular shaft.
That was hard to say.
[00:19:50] Speaker I: That was wonderful.
[00:19:51] Speaker E: And then she met it will help dry it off. Oh, God.
[00:19:54] Speaker I: It comes with visuals. All I could see is the guy, like, wanting to clean his wife twice.
I don't know.
[00:20:16] Speaker E: Definition. We'll have to go on to Wikipedia. Be like, it also means this, according to.
[00:20:23] Speaker I: Gnarly shaft.
[00:20:25] Speaker F: You pathetic creature.
[00:20:29] Speaker D: Pathetic. You're pathetic.
[00:20:32] Speaker I: You're pathetic.
[00:20:36] Speaker E: I'm glad that one brought a laugh.
[00:20:38] Speaker I: I will because of the laugh.
[00:20:40] Speaker F: We appreciate it.
[00:20:41] Speaker D: No, but you do win anyway. Meredith has five points, Lindsay has four, Kim has four, and Kara has three.
[00:20:49] Speaker I: Hey.
[00:20:50] Speaker H: No, I still think I only got.
[00:20:51] Speaker F: Slow and steady wins the race.
[00:20:52] Speaker D: No, you got one. The last one.
[00:20:54] Speaker E: You got two.
[00:20:55] Speaker H: Oh, I did. You're right, I did.
I forgot.
[00:20:59] Speaker D: Yes.
[00:21:01] Speaker I: Oh, that was a great idea.
[00:21:02] Speaker F: That was lots of fun, eh?
That was great.
[00:21:06] Speaker G: Good.
[00:21:11] Speaker H: Although now I don't remember any of the real definition.
[00:21:13] Speaker I: No.
[00:21:14] Speaker H: Let's see if we can do that.
[00:21:15] Speaker E: You're never going to know what pathetic means for the rest of your life, right?
[00:21:19] Speaker D: Okay, let's go through it again.
Humectant is a substance that absorbs and helps another substance retain. Sorry. Retain moisture. Not remain.
[00:21:32] Speaker E: Retain. Oh, then you couldn't use the humectant to dry off the shaft.
[00:21:36] Speaker F: You couldn't because it's going to retain.
[00:21:38] Speaker E: No, it would keep it wet. No, keep it moist.
[00:21:42] Speaker I: It's going to be stuck in those folds. Yeah.
[00:21:45] Speaker F: Mushrooms will be growing out of there.
[00:21:49] Speaker D: What was the next word?
The sexy muscular. It means resembling twilight.
[00:21:56] Speaker I: Yeah.
[00:21:57] Speaker F: That was so strange.
[00:21:58] Speaker E: That's a good one.
[00:21:59] Speaker D: Not the gnarled and twisted shaft.
[00:22:01] Speaker E: It doesn't seem like it should mean that, though, does it?
[00:22:04] Speaker G: Not at all.
[00:22:05] Speaker I: No, it does.
[00:22:05] Speaker E: Like, twilight has got a certain feel to it and crepuscular. Like the actual word reminds me of.
[00:22:11] Speaker F: Like, crustacean or something.
[00:22:14] Speaker E: Yeah.
[00:22:15] Speaker D: Roco.
[00:22:15] Speaker H: Cocoa.
[00:22:16] Speaker D: Do I say too many cocoa?
[00:22:17] Speaker E: Cocoa. No, you don't.
[00:22:19] Speaker F: I don't as many like cocoa.
Pronounced.
[00:22:26] Speaker D: Ordinance in speech, literary style. It's also an architecture in 17 France.
[00:22:33] Speaker H: It's also a music style.
[00:22:36] Speaker D: And pathetic is a pitiful ability to wash oneself.
[00:22:43] Speaker E: No, we wish it meant that.
[00:22:48] Speaker D: We wish the pathetic is displaying or characterized by bathos. Emotionalism of a soap opera. Bathos.
[00:23:00] Speaker I: The weird thing is, why talk about.
[00:23:03] Speaker F: The emotionalism of a soap opera? Because isn't the whole darn soap opera one big dramatic, emotional?
[00:23:11] Speaker E: Maybe it just means, like, over the top emotionality characterized.
[00:23:17] Speaker G: Yeah, like the soap operas and exhaust.
[00:23:18] Speaker F: Got it right.
[00:23:19] Speaker G: How soap operas are really pathetic.
[00:23:22] Speaker F: Oh, they are.
[00:23:25] Speaker H: They're also pathetic.
[00:23:30] Speaker D: All right, that's it. Off the shelf.
[00:23:32] Speaker E: We did it.
[00:23:33] Speaker I: That was great.
[00:23:33] Speaker F: And who's the grand winner? Is it Meredith?
[00:23:36] Speaker D: Meredith.
[00:23:37] Speaker G: Meredith won anyway, even though she was.
[00:23:38] Speaker E: Like, I'm not trying to win.
[00:23:39] Speaker G: I'm only trying to be funny. So you won twice, mayor.
[00:23:42] Speaker E: That's pretty.
I won the joke.
[00:23:47] Speaker D: Well, congratulations, Meredith. Wonderful.
[00:23:51] Speaker G: Next time we do this, we should have a gnarled shaft as the trophy.
Yes, I'll find a gnarly shaft while I'm here because there's probably a lot of opportunity.
[00:24:06] Speaker I: Why?
[00:24:07] Speaker E: Where are you an opportunity?
[00:24:09] Speaker G: I'm talking about a wooden shaft.
[00:24:13] Speaker F: I went to probably like what Sarah did, which is you're in an environment.
[00:24:17] Speaker I: Which has lots of sex shops around. I was like, okay, totally. Where are you? Like, blackout windows.
[00:24:26] Speaker F: Like everywhere she goes nude peach.
[00:24:32] Speaker E: There are plenty of gnarly shafts.
Use your gnarly shaft as a trophy.
[00:24:38] Speaker F: Thank you.
[00:24:39] Speaker G: You can put it by your lady lamp. See if it turns it.
[00:24:46] Speaker H: I forgot you have an actual lady lamp. And I was like, is that like a new name for your lady lamp.
[00:24:52] Speaker E: Come turn on my lady lamp.
[00:24:53] Speaker H: Maybe the light up your gnarled shaft.

[00:25:43] Speaker E: But you go out into the world and expectations of the greater world is going to be different.
[00:25:49] Speaker F: And I'm allowed to learn in my own way and take away my own takeaways. And there's no set standard here.
[00:25:55] Speaker H: That conversation took a weird turn. I blinked for a minute and I.
[00:26:00] Speaker E: Was like, wait, what? Mustache hair?
