Speaker 1 (00:06):
Welcome to a little bit of pod, and guys, it
is a sad day for the world.

Speaker 3 (00:11):
I was almost going to say, should we get a
bit of sad music?

Speaker 2 (00:14):
Yeah? Absolutely?

Speaker 1 (00:15):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (00:15):
Plug in there?

Speaker 3 (00:16):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (00:16):
What do you what are you thinking? For sad It just.

Speaker 3 (00:18):
Feels like Coldplay is always sort of the way to go.
Do you know what I mean?

Speaker 4 (00:22):
Isn't it brings the tone down because it's not a
father and son sadness?

Speaker 2 (00:26):
No, okay, here we go. What kind of sadness? Would
you describe it as a loss? A loss? It is
a loss, a great loss.

Speaker 4 (00:34):
And it's not it's not none of us three. It
is producer Shannon who has suffered a huge loss.

Speaker 1 (00:42):
Would you like to tell everybody about the loss of
a family member?

Speaker 2 (00:46):
It's almost worse.

Speaker 1 (00:52):
Have your family hear this?

Speaker 2 (00:54):
Have I Heart radio? That's their loss?

Speaker 5 (00:58):
You know? I have lost my one hundred and forty
six day wordle streak.

Speaker 1 (01:04):
Ma. Wow, do you remember when people lost their wordle
streak because they updated something? Now it's because they went
to the New York Times. That's it went from an
independent to the Times purchas and did people even get
that back?

Speaker 2 (01:17):
I think you could email.

Speaker 3 (01:18):
Them, which honestly I would have done.

Speaker 2 (01:21):
I bet people dead.

Speaker 3 (01:22):
Yeah, one hundred. I was so dedicated to this what happened?

Speaker 5 (01:27):
I bragged on it last week about how I was
nearly at one fifty and I was youngxed it high
and mighty, and I remember carwhen specifically saying no one
gets past one fifty, you'll lose it. At some point
I said, not me, watch me get to a year. Well,
the word was wound. Man. Did I guess Poundhound, round
mound and sound.

Speaker 1 (01:51):
Train?

Speaker 5 (01:51):
I had four greens for five guesses?

Speaker 2 (01:54):
I lost this week on beard.

Speaker 5 (01:58):
Oh I got that in three and I felt good.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
Being was the word again, A word when you get
the last letters, if you've not eliminated other ones.

Speaker 2 (02:06):
There's too many other options.

Speaker 5 (02:07):
Do you know what the worst part about it was?
As I got to my last GISs, I was like, man,
this is it, Like I'm risking it. I was like
it could be found or bound. And I was sitting
there and I was like, what do I do? What
do I do?

Speaker 4 (02:19):
What do I do?

Speaker 5 (02:20):
And then the answer was wound.

Speaker 3 (02:21):
It wasn't even what I was debating.

Speaker 5 (02:23):
There were so many options of were you fuck?

Speaker 3 (02:29):
You good?

Speaker 5 (02:33):
I'm anger stage?

Speaker 2 (02:34):
Yeah, this is the anger stage of grief.

Speaker 5 (02:36):
Do you know I did go through denial because you
can change your phone sittings and go back a day.

Speaker 3 (02:41):
No, but your soul, yeah, well you can.

Speaker 5 (02:43):
You can, like, if you forgot to do Word for
a day, you can change your phone and be like, hey.

Speaker 2 (02:47):
It's Tuesday at a different times.

Speaker 3 (02:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (02:50):
And then then I thought about doing it, but I
didn't think it would work. And I also reflected that
that's really sad.

Speaker 4 (02:56):
Yes, your soul would know that was all a lie,
because I was going to say, were you tempted?

Speaker 1 (03:01):
At when you had one guess left? To then google
what the today's answer was a part.

Speaker 5 (03:06):
Of me was but I knew it would be a
shallow victory.

Speaker 2 (03:08):
Yeah, yeah, that's right.

Speaker 3 (03:10):
You better than that, Shannon, You're better than that.

Speaker 2 (03:12):
I just googled.

Speaker 1 (03:12):
The highest wordle streak is unknown because there's no official leaderboard,
but players have reported individual streaks well over one thousand, one,
siding a streak of one thousand and fifty five.

Speaker 3 (03:24):
Now we're only up to Word one thousand and fifty.

Speaker 1 (03:26):
Five and others claiming their longest was over six hundred.
And these are just people that have I guess read
it users that have posted this streaks.

Speaker 5 (03:33):
Well, now I'm on like a three and don't.

Speaker 4 (03:36):
Give up like this is you know, do you think
you think, sir Edmund Hillary climbed the mountain of the
top to the first mountain he tried to climb?

Speaker 2 (03:44):
No, he did. You actually did amount amount and.

Speaker 5 (03:48):
The acceptance stage now moving through the grief, Okay, I
can get it back. I'll live for another one hundred
and fifty days probably, Yeah, girl, what did.

Speaker 2 (03:57):
You just send to us?

Speaker 1 (03:59):
Or see word one five seven eight that's the one thousand,
five hundred and seventy eighth wordle So that person has
literally been playing since the start and then every single one, Right,
is it even possible because surely you.

Speaker 2 (04:10):
Do get to the end though, and there are where
where it could be like a.

Speaker 1 (04:13):
Gains just they must have a solid strategy to avoid
that sort of thing.

Speaker 3 (04:19):
I suspect cheating.

Speaker 5 (04:20):
But well there's a word or bop so at the
end of your game every day you can reflect and
it will say here is how you could have done
better and all that and also like the probability of
you winning. Each guest being like, oh, there was like
twenty five options at this point, and you guess this.

Speaker 2 (04:36):
Whoa, because what is the best word to start with.

Speaker 5 (04:38):
I've got a three word starting point normally, so I
go stare cloud pinky and that gets all my vowels
and a lot of good constonants.

Speaker 2 (04:46):
Okay, that's good, it's tough.

Speaker 3 (04:48):
I used to do tough. Give you a really good
consonance Steam, Yes, Steam, you.
