I mean, I feel like I don't know, naturally, the
older that I got, the less I enjoyed reading. But
there was a period, especially when I was in middle school,
where I would have considered myself a reader, like seventh
eighth grade. There was always the time in like English
class when you were younger, where you would have.

Welcome to the Blazed and Confused podcast with Becker and Joel,
the trivia podcast where the questions are high, and so
are they hate. Time to spluck your curiosity and light
up some knowledge. The Blazed and Confused Podcast starts now.

Speaker 5 (07:15):
Hello, Hello, Episode eleven. Our podcast is officially a preteen.

Speaker 1 (07:21):
It's weird.

Speaker 2 (07:23):
It's appropriate. It's very with you too, it's very appropriate.
So there you go.

Speaker 5 (07:27):
Becca as a as a mom our podcast is officially
a preteen.

Speaker 1 (07:30):
So we officially suck. We're at the age there.

Speaker 2 (07:32):
It's just awful, right yeah, no, no, no, yes and no,
a thorough yes and no. I will not say one
or the other because I love my son. But there
are times, there are moments where it's like sudden, you
have first mama's last button.

Speaker 5 (07:51):
Me personally, that's when I was the biggest pain in
the asses when I was around there.

Speaker 1 (07:55):
But then I leveled out when I was in high school,
like the last time that I you know, because it
was all about.

Speaker 5 (07:59):
Getting written up, per se in high school, when you
got like the good old fashioned misconduct report and you
got called down to the principal's office and it was
like the form that your parents had, you know, Like.

Speaker 1 (08:07):
I stopped getting on of those.

Speaker 5 (08:09):
I did, but in middle school, in elementary school, and
I stopped getting them like freshman year of high school?
Were they four stupid shit like cursing, big shocker, big shocker.

Speaker 2 (08:18):
Big shocker, talking during assembly or something.

Speaker 1 (08:20):
Talking talking back? Where did you pick this up though?
Where was the cursing happening?

Speaker 2 (08:28):
Oh? Was it happening at home? Or mom and dad
into it? No?

Speaker 5 (08:31):
Not necessarily. I mean my parents cursed, but not as
bad as as you. I really don't know. I don't
know where it came from. I don't I tell people
that since my mom was a teacher, I didn't get
away with shit at home. So when I got to school,
like I had to be rambunctious and like get it
out of my system, because when I went home it was, you.

Speaker 2 (08:49):
Know, how to get it out of your system? It
was almost pent up energy that wasn't channeled.

Speaker 1 (08:53):
Tent up that needed to be said, you know, and you.

Speaker 2 (08:56):
Didn't realize yet you were too young, you know, to
take care of business.

Speaker 5 (09:01):
I remember getting sent to the principal's office for like
telling a girl to shut the fuck up on the bus,
like that kind of stuff.

Speaker 2 (09:08):
I kind of did something similar, like I smacked a
girl in the face on the bush jus lunch room,
no one else watching. These were big groups. Oh you
like to entertain big groups of people too, yeah, telling
oh look at that jokes? Were you look at class
clown type or No.

Speaker 1 (09:23):
I would consider myself the class clown.

Speaker 5 (09:25):
However, the high school senior superlatives, I didn't make it
on any.

Speaker 1 (09:30):
Of those lists, and I'm pissed about it to this day.

Speaker 5 (09:32):
You know what, I was working practically full time when
I was seventeen, when I was a senior in high school,
and I didn't get most likely to succeed like I like, I.

Speaker 1 (09:40):
Think about this from time to time. Thing, bitch, I
was succeeding.

Speaker 2 (09:44):
You were so did Why did you need the label
for it?

Speaker 3 (09:46):
Watch?

Speaker 1 (09:46):
You need the validation?

Speaker 2 (09:47):
And I guess I did the same thing with class clown.

Speaker 5 (09:49):
I don't remember who the class phns were, but I
feel like I was funnier.

Speaker 1 (09:52):
I don't know, maybe not. Who knows, little salty, I'm
a little salty. How many years ago is that? Now
you've got ten years ago you graduated.

Speaker 5 (10:00):
It's just like I think often about how I applied
for the job at the Apple Store and I didn't
get it.

Speaker 1 (10:05):
I could sell iPhones. What they call those people geniuses.

Speaker 5 (10:08):
That's I wouldn't want to didn't get it, though I would,
I wouldn't want to be one.

Speaker 2 (10:12):
Of those played Mike played Mikey.

Speaker 5 (10:15):
But I wouldn't want to work at the genius bar.
That's people that fix it computers. I don't want to
fix it computers. I want to sell and not even that.
I really rather be the person that you know when
you go to the Apple Store and you walk in
and you say to that first initial person, Hi, I
am here for.

Speaker 1 (10:27):
Blah blah blah blah blah, and they say, yeah, go
stand over here. I want to be that person. That's it.
I want that job. Yeah, it seems pretty easy. Then
how is that selling apples? I don't think you need
to be a genius for that job, so I think
you're good.

Speaker 2 (10:40):
I don't think.

Speaker 1 (10:46):
You've listened to our shows.

Speaker 2 (10:49):
You're not family friendly, and I had to listen. I
listened when we were driving around in the car, and
then you were extremely funny. But it was all about
Bob Holder.

Speaker 5 (10:55):
He listens every week just for his name, exactly nice.
And then if we don't mention his name, and he
tells us it sucked. Little does he know he's never
being invited back. Now he knows. Let's go to the
rapid round, shall we? All right, Becka, you know you're
answering these questions for the rapid round.

It was like, the lines aren't everywhere, that's foreshore, in
buildings and in roads, even in nature. Lines can be

(18:35):
found in most everything they see because they shape the
world in front of me. And it was like horizontal
lines straight up and right, pal lines up and down
to the sky, Intersecting lines cross all the time. Parallel
lines never touched the other lines and it was like
a perpendicular lines was my favorite, secked at right angles.

Speaker 5 (20:33):
Yeah, because you said all the sides were equal or

Speaker 1 (20:41):
You really worked it out, right, I really, I really
thought it through.

Speaker 2 (20:46):
Little dog.

Speaker 1 (21:00):

L A t R A L.

Speaker 2 (21:09):
I heard it.

Speaker 1 (21:11):
Something like that? Question three? All right? Which weighs more
a kilogram of feathers or a kilogram of steel? Your mom?

Speaker 5 (21:26):
Sorry, missus Becker, I know you're listening now. I like
you a lot. You're a wonderful woman.

Speaker 1 (21:30):
You know. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Speaker 2 (21:33):
He's a wonderful mama.

Speaker 5 (21:35):
You can't go wrong with your mom joke. Sometimes you

Speaker 1 (21:40):
Your mom or your mom?

Speaker 3 (21:49):
Is it?

Speaker 1 (21:49):
Your mom? Correct?

Speaker 4 (21:54):
All right?

Speaker 1 (21:56):
Which weighs more a killo ram of feathers or a
kilogram of steel? What do you want to do? You
think that you might want to use your lifeline? Possibly?
What weighs more a kilogram? A kilogram of feathers or
a kilogram of steel. See, you know, I'll tell.

Speaker 5 (22:17):
You why he picked this question because he knows I
don't do measurements.

Speaker 1 (22:21):
I don't know how measurements.

Speaker 3 (22:23):
Says like, I don't do this, I don't do no,
but I really don't.

Speaker 1 (22:26):
I don't know how measurements work. Yeah, but just even
even even.

Speaker 5 (22:30):
When it comes to, you know, a quarter or an
eighth of X, Y and z, I will normally say,
just give me one hundred bucks worth.

Speaker 1 (22:37):
Of a day. Maybe use your life. I'll use my lifeline.
I don't know kill a wat of what?

Speaker 2 (22:42):
It's a kilogram of feathers and a kilogram of steel is.

Speaker 1 (22:46):
A kilogram very small.

Speaker 2 (22:48):
You're the same, baby doll.

Speaker 1 (22:50):
It's the same.

Speaker 2 (22:51):
One kilogram and one kilogram equal one kilogram. They're the same.
It doesn't matter if it's feathers or steel.

Speaker 1 (23:01):
Yeah, but what weighs more?

Speaker 2 (23:03):
They don't. Each one is a kilogram. So see, for example,
you go to the store and you get a pound
a turkey and a pound of roast beef. They're going
to weigh the same. They're just different. Oh difference.

Speaker 1 (23:18):
Well, that's like a strict question, fucking asshole. That was
more of a riddle than it was a question. I'm
so sorry question.

Speaker 5 (23:31):
You know, when you hear people say that they're worried
about what their potential future employers will find of them.

Speaker 2 (23:37):
This, yeah, what they're talking.

Speaker 1 (23:40):
I definitely don't mention this thing. No, I mean, like,
if I ever want a real job, I'm fucked.

Speaker 3 (23:46):
Question for twenty what.

Speaker 1 (23:51):
All right, before the invention of the telephone, what was
the primary way people would communicate with each other from
long distances? Letters?

Speaker 3 (24:02):
All right?

Speaker 1 (24:03):
Big technology though? What I guess people could write letters?

Speaker 2 (24:07):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (24:10):
Yeah, technology? What was used before a telephone? A teletype? Loos?
What the fuck kind of question is this? Read this
shit again? Before the invention of the telephone, what was
the primary way people would communicate with each other from
long distances? So they didn't have phones? You know what
they yell? I don't know, Yeah, they could have done

(24:33):
that too, But the technology? What were they using to
communicate with each other before phones?

Speaker 2 (24:40):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (24:42):
And it's not letters? I mean again it could be,
but then technology technology, Like before we had cell phones,
we just had house phones before a house you know
what I mean? Like the people use phones? Are where
are we right now? That's a dumb question right there?

Speaker 2 (25:03):
Do you know the answer. Telegraph, the telegraph. You can
learn about the telegraph, you know.

Speaker 1 (25:11):
Wow?

Speaker 4 (25:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (25:13):
And old movies they come running in and say, oh,
you have a message and it was on a piece
of paper.

Speaker 1 (25:18):
I just think of Titanic. Do do do Do Do
do do do? Yeah, exactly. Yelling didn't work for anyone
in that movie either, Jack, Jack, this is my door.

Speaker 3 (25:31):
Question number one.

Speaker 5 (25:35):
I thought we'd do some Christmas in July questions. All right,
and a Christmas Carol? How many ghosts visit Ebenezer Scrooge
during the night?

Speaker 1 (25:46):
Eight seven? Hold on? Oh do you know the answer?

Speaker 2 (25:55):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (25:56):
Yeah, I don't want to use the lifeline so quickly.

Speaker 2 (25:58):
But oh, you only get to consult me one time.

Speaker 1 (26:03):
I'm gonna guess. Hold on, hold on, hold on four?
Is it four? It's four? Very good? Wow, very good.
The Ghosts of Christmas Future, present, past, and now whatever
the fuck it is, Mary Jacob Barley, Marley.

Speaker 2 (26:22):
I feel like it's a nerd that I had.

Speaker 1 (26:24):
To reach back for that because I saw that when
I was a kid. I went we saw it in
New York City. That took us on a field trip.
Do you want more Christmas in July questions stew it,
I could give you more of them.

Speaker 3 (26:32):

the Grinch steal Christmas items? Who will go?

Speaker 3 (26:45):
Wow?

Speaker 1 (26:45):
Okay, all right, thank you.

Speaker 5 (26:47):
Now here's what I'll say about how the Grinch stole Christmas?
Love it, doctor sous right, correct, doctor sous book. The
Jim Carrey version a fucking disgrace.

Speaker 1 (26:55):
I hate it. Oh wow, I hate it that.

Speaker 4 (26:58):
No.

Speaker 5 (26:58):
I like the anime, like original one, like the OG classic,
like the classic, like the TV.

Speaker 2 (27:04):
One, the classic, But I think.

Speaker 5 (27:06):
The Jim Carrey one gets under my nerves, gets under
my nerves.

Speaker 1 (27:10):
I don't know. That's not even a saying no it
is now it gets under your skin. Yeah, that too sure.

Speaker 3 (27:15):
Question three.

Speaker 1 (27:21):
I was gonna read my question again to you, but
I just realized it's my turn. I looked down. I'm like, wait,
I already did that. He's figuring it out as we go.

Speaker 5 (27:33):
Yeah, I'm looking at a list of questions thinking which
one would he get wrong?

Speaker 1 (27:37):
Okay, how about sports Guests of the Year. Okay, you
were alive. I wasn't.

Speaker 5 (27:41):
There's a hint already, all right, and what Yeah, why
the hell did I do that now. I don't even
want to ask this question.

Speaker 1 (27:48):
Ask it.

Speaker 5 (27:48):
Come on a right, okay, sports? In what year did
Major League Baseball not have a World Series because of
the players strike?

Speaker 1 (27:56):
Would it had been nineteen ninety five? Four? Which one four? Four?
Very good?

Speaker 5 (28:03):
Good, because my follow up it would have been I
was negative four years old?

Speaker 1 (28:09):
All right?

Speaker 3 (28:11):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (28:11):
Do you remember this or not?

Speaker 2 (28:12):
Really?

Speaker 1 (28:12):
Vaguely? Vaguely, yeah, but they didn't get paid enough. I
don't remember this specific. I was ten years old. I
was doing other things. Should we ask, hey or whatever?
What do you do at ten years old? You know,
I know what I was doing a lot of that.
I know what you do ten years old.

Speaker 2 (28:25):
Early bloomer, So good for you. Secret talent's a bounding
you're never gonna get.

Speaker 1 (28:32):
That was really talented?

Speaker 3 (28:37):
Was the goat U twenty?

Speaker 1 (28:41):
What good, buddy.

Speaker 5 (28:44):
I don't think you're gonna get this question right. There's
like a snowballs chance. And now you're gonna get this
question right.

Speaker 1 (28:48):
Great. How many black keys are there on a standard piano?
Is it like twelve sixteen? I'll go, he keeps me. Really,
how about those black keys? Yeah, that's not what we're
talking about. That, that's it's the black keys. That's what
I'm asking. The question is how many black keys are

(29:13):
on a piano? Twenty twenty two. No, you're getting this.
I have no idea. Yeah, the Charcter answer is thirty
six probably shit, how many keys are on a piano
in general?

Speaker 5 (29:23):
Holl there's eighty eight keys total? So what's eighty eight
minus thirty six? There we go, somebody that does math.

Speaker 1 (29:27):
Eighty eight minus thirty six, it's fifty two? Shit, fifty two. Hey, Siri,
it's fifty two.

Speaker 2 (29:37):
It's bad. Wait what was it?

Speaker 1 (29:40):
What would the numbers may come? Right? Who are you?
What's happening?

Speaker 2 (29:43):
Eighty eight minus thirty six?

Speaker 1 (29:46):
Sixty nine?

Speaker 2 (29:47):
What is eighty eight minus thirty six? Fifty two?

Speaker 1 (29:50):
Fifty two? Yeah? Did you say that? Did you say that?
I said that? Wow? At least look at those mental batskill? Wow?
Still got it?

Speaker 3 (29:58):
You're lost? Pro are they? Blazed? And confused? Podcast?

Speaker 1 (30:04):
I think we should order some food. And you know,
here's the thing.

Speaker 5 (30:07):
We're recording this episode on Monday, July twenty first, which
I don't know if you read today's National Junk Food
Day food Day, Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (30:16):
I mean every day is National Junk Food House Yeah.

Speaker 5 (30:19):
However, I will say I have eaten the McDonald's snack
wraps a few times now that they're back.

Speaker 2 (30:25):
Oh are you a fan of the snack raps? Oh?

Speaker 1 (30:27):
They are incredible. Do they taste just like you remember? Yes?

Speaker 5 (30:31):
However, the only thing that I'll say about the snack
raps is that they don't have the honey mustard flavor.

Speaker 1 (30:35):
And I really enjoy the honey musterd flavor. Where's the
honey muster flavor? They didn't bring that one?

Speaker 2 (30:38):
But what are the options?

Speaker 1 (30:39):
It's just of honey mustard and put it on it.
I mean, yeah, I guess, but I don't know.

Speaker 2 (30:45):
I get it.

Speaker 5 (30:46):
It's just regular ranch or spicy run. It's kind of like,
you know when you get that kind of thing.

Speaker 1 (30:51):
The heat from the chicken has warmed up the honey
mustard in such a way like there's something with the
temperature there. But adding it later it's not the same.
I get that.

Speaker 5 (30:59):
Here's what our will say about the snack wraps. I
compare the snack wraps to Yako's hot dogs. Where now
my experience now with the snack wraps, are you get
the meal with two?

Speaker 1 (31:11):
You eat two?

Speaker 5 (31:12):
You could eat a third, but when you eat a third,
it's a little bit too much, and then you feel
like a pile of fucking garbage. So like two is
not quite enough, but three is just a little too much.
You get two in fries. I do that, but you're
not getting to begin a.

Speaker 1 (31:27):
Front or eating fries as it is. That's just I mean,
that was a given.

Speaker 2 (31:31):
What about Mabe getting cheeseburger aside?

Speaker 1 (31:33):
All right, so I'll tell you a great story. The
other night. You know, I'm addicted to order and door
Dash forgot where we were talking about what I forgot?
Go ahead, huh, I'm caught up. Now what I'm here.

Speaker 2 (31:42):
Give me the joint, all right, fucking ston. You guys
have the agenda. I don't. I'm sitting over here tripping
my ass off because like, what is going on? But
I have the idea about what's going on. But I
don't know what's going on. But I okay, you know
what I mean.

Speaker 1 (32:01):
So you're having a good time.

Speaker 2 (32:02):
I'm having a great time. So I ordered door Dash
he in the night, as one does.

Speaker 5 (32:06):
It's Friday night. You order thirty dollars worth of door Dash.
You know it is what it.

Speaker 2 (32:10):
Is, thirty bucks for one person.

Speaker 1 (32:12):
I know, it's a little nuts.

Speaker 2 (32:13):
Wait, no, it's not. We ordered Chinese food for two
people with my daughter and it was ninety It was ridiculous.

Speaker 1 (32:19):
Yep, happens.

Speaker 5 (32:19):
So I ordered the two McDonald's snack wrap meal with
a large fry with a coke slushy, the frozen coke.

Speaker 2 (32:27):
Yeah, fantastic heart coke slushy. Oh love it incredible, incredible.

Speaker 5 (32:32):
I also got additionally, in addition to the two snack
wrap and large fry meal with the coke slushy, I
got an extra snack wrap on the side and an
extra cheeseburger on the side.

Speaker 2 (32:42):
I came home, sat down, I ate it. Oh, it
was incredible.

Speaker 5 (32:45):
And I left the snack wrap, the extra snack wrap,
in the extra cheeseburger on my coffee table and I
put the rest of the bag next to it, like
I like it was trash, you know.

Speaker 1 (32:56):
And then I got away.

Speaker 2 (32:57):
No, no, no, worse.

Speaker 1 (32:59):
I down.

Speaker 5 (33:00):
I took a nap, and when I woke up, apparently
the damn dog had a feast while.

Speaker 2 (33:05):
I was.

Speaker 5 (33:07):
And I woke up at three o'clock in the morning,
and the dog was smart enough to like quite literally,
I should have taken a picture, but I didn't.

Speaker 1 (33:12):
But she like quite literally unwrapped the snack wrap and
the cheeseburger.

Speaker 5 (33:16):
The rappers were still there and the food was gone.

Speaker 1 (33:19):
Oh you got a smart, mean break. You know what
she was doing.

Speaker 2 (33:24):
I had a dog that ate chocolate, ate the entire wrappers,
and she shot chocolate wrappers days. It's terrible.

Speaker 1 (33:33):
Yeah, dogs and chocolate are supposed to be bad dudes.

Speaker 2 (33:35):
Right, Oh she was fine.

Speaker 1 (33:37):
Yeah, so is that a myth?

Speaker 3 (33:39):
Then?

Speaker 2 (33:39):
No. They just have to consume copious I mean cobious
amounts of it. Yeah, it's math, and like you, I
don't do math either, but they have to eat copious
amounts of it in order for it to affect their bloodstream.

Speaker 1 (33:50):
I guess I like that Lucy made the wrapper in
such a way that it would make you think that
maybe you did it, you know, like you ate the
burger and forgot you know, well so because because it
was sitting on the ground.

Speaker 5 (34:02):
But then when I walked back, because the snack rapper
was sitting next to my couch, and then when I
walked back to my kitchen, like she must have picked
up the burger and taken it back to the kitchen.
And make that one back there. So yeah, it was
crazy that then I knew.

Speaker 1 (34:15):
It was the dog. Thank you, Lucy, appreciate it.

Speaker 5 (34:17):
Hey, we have anything else to say to the people, Yeah,
we do spark a debate.

Speaker 1 (34:22):
Oh, we'll get a debate quick.

Speaker 3 (34:24):
Welcome to spark a debate. We're Becker and Joel. Turn
one topic.

Speaker 4 (34:29):
You're doing all out puff puff pass off and see
who burns out first.

Speaker 1 (34:34):
I was gonna talk about the cold Play thing. Now,
who gives a fuck about the Coldplay thing anymore? That'll
be really old by the time. Really, I guess it
might be. Yeah, you're right. Fuck, why what do you
think about that? You're always trying to get me to
go fucking cold Play shows, and now I never want
to go to a cold Play show.

Speaker 3 (34:50):
Why?

Speaker 1 (34:51):
I don't know. Chris Martin ruins everything. Oh god. They
shouldn't have been cheating. But had they acted like regular
human beings and didn't react to the fucking jumbo tron,
they probably would have been fine. But what do you
mean if they just sat there and like were on
camera and didn't move and be all awkward, they.

Speaker 3 (35:08):
Would be.

Speaker 2 (35:10):
Had they not drew it done that, had they just
not gone to a cold play concept when you're having
an affair.

Speaker 1 (35:16):
But then I thought, like, what if these people have
an open relationship, Maybe here's an understanding we all really.

Speaker 2 (35:21):
Jumped was if there was, then they wouldn't have reacted
that way. But I think it's totally been blown out
of proportions. It's so ridiculous, but it's I mean, it is.
It is kind of funny. It is extremely kind of funny.

Speaker 5 (35:32):
However, I will say, it must suck to be one
of those people's kids right.

Speaker 2 (35:35):
Now, Dad, Mom and dad are all over the internet.

Speaker 1 (35:41):
But when you go to like a sporting event, do
you want to end up on the jumbo tron? Honestly,
I mean seriously.

Speaker 5 (35:45):
I was hell now, I was at the Iron Pigs
once and I was put on the JumboTron and I
looked away.

Speaker 1 (35:50):
And I hated it. Well, I was there with my parents.
I was sitting there having one too many beers. Do
you think they're going to have to make up some
kind of thing now when you buy a ticket to
an that you're gonna have to click a button, that's
like you probably do it being on camera. You probably
already do that somehow. It's probably the finest of princes.

Speaker 2 (36:07):
When you buy the ticket, there's all that fine print
at the bottom of the ticket that probably says that
you agreed to be part of their promotional.

Speaker 1 (36:14):
I mean, obviously it's fuck. They shouldn't have been cheating
on it, you know, their spouses.

Speaker 5 (36:17):
But yeah, but you want to blame it on Chris
Martin because that's the fun thing to do.

Speaker 1 (36:20):
Well, I'm not. And his apology was fucking ridiculous too.
It was really fun.

Speaker 3 (36:25):
You apologized.

Speaker 1 (36:26):
The dude came out and apologized.

Speaker 2 (36:28):
Well, the CEO, I thought you said, Chris Martin say wait, wait,
wait wait. Chris Martin apologized for that.

Speaker 1 (36:33):
There was a line in this dude's Chris Martin if
he didn't apologize, it would go something like, my music
is subpar, and I apologize for the music. You have
no idea. A Coldplay concert is incredible.

Speaker 2 (36:44):
I apologize for allowing my wife to name my child Apple.
I'm sorry.

Speaker 5 (36:49):
Yeah, that's a little mole Martin. It's not as bad
as Northwest. That's as bad as.

Speaker 1 (36:55):
It's really stupid. You guys have McDonald's. I don't donald.
I was hoping for her food. McDonald's just gonna sponsor us.
Their food's great. They are the double quarter powder with cheese.
I'm telling Joel about getting that honey with his chicken nuggets,
just plain honey.

Speaker 2 (37:09):
Oh yeah.

Speaker 1 (37:10):
Dynamite sponsor US Man sponsor podcast.

Speaker 2 (37:13):
Stoner's Love McDonald's. Stoner's Love McDonald's and they're back McDonald's podcast.

Speaker 1 (37:23):

Your snack wraps are at the betch you imagine that.
