Dad (00:00):
Hey, Norah,
Norah (00:01):
Hey, Dad.
Dad (00:02):
What did the chemist say to her boyfriend on Valentine's
day?
Norah (00:06):
Oh, wait, wait.
Oh, I don't know, but there wasa period last year where my
friends and I were really boredin our classes.
We looked up science what arethey called?
When you hit on somebody, like aone liner.
Dad (00:19):
One liner.
Norah (00:20):
Yeah.
So, I don't know.
Tell me.
Dad (00:23):
I think of you periodically.
Norah (00:26):
Oh, that's good.
There's some pretty good onesout
Dad (00:27):
Ah, it's a banger.
Norah (00:29):
There's some pretty good ones out there.
There is and I can't think ofthem off the top of my head, but
they're pretty good.
So,
Dad (00:36):
I have this joke and it's awesome if I can only remember
it.
Norah (00:39):
Pick up lines.
That's what they're
Dad (00:40):
Pick up lines.
Science pick up lines.
Well, that's not what we'retalking about this week.
What are we talking about thisweek?
Norah (00:47):
talking about Valentine's Day.
Dad (00:49):
Yay, love, that's so, I, I, sort of, I guess a pickup line
could get you a date forValentine's Day.
Norah (00:59):
I'm intrigued now.
I need to find it.
Dad (01:13):
Welcome back to the Norah and Dad show.
I am Dad.
I'm here with Norah who, whilethe theme music played, found
some banger science Pick uplines, Norah, the stage is all
yours.
Norah (01:29):
is the one that we thought was crazy, because we
were we were looking it upduring class and we were, like,
texting each other.
Okay, you ready?
Dad (01:37):
I am, I am ready.
Norah (01:38):
It's a little inappropriate, I must warn you.
Dad (01:40):
Oh,
Norah (01:42):
I didn't know how to say this word.
It's a science word, that'sokay.
If I was an enzyme, I'd be DNAhelicase, so I could unzip your
genes.
I don't know what a helicase is,but helicase.
Dad (01:54):
guessing it's something that splits a DNA strand based
on the context of the joke.
That's really funny.
Yes, a little, I'm ashamed ofyou, that's a little
inappropriate.
Norah (02:06):
one's worse.
Dad (02:08):
Can you say it?
Norah (02:09):
I don't want mom to get mad at me.
Dad (02:12):
Well, let's, let's hear it and maybe I can edit it out.
Norah (02:15):
No, you also laughed at this one.
This is the one I think Iremembered.
If my right leg is the cell walland my left the membrane, do you
want to be the cytoplasm?
Dad (02:24):
That's horrendous.
That's equal parts dorky anddirty.
Norah (02:31):
Can you imagine you're out somewhere and somebody walks
up to you and says that?
Dad (02:36):
I mean, I guess you would either get like a stunned look
on your face.
Like I have no idea what you'retalking about that you're
speaking a foreign language oryou get slapped, or maybe you'd
get a date out of it.
Norah (02:49):
I don't think so.
Dad (02:50):
I I did not use a pickup line when I met your mom.
Norah (02:54):
Yeah, that's probably a good move.
Dad (02:55):
Or maybe I, or maybe I
Norah (02:56):
not the pick up line
Dad (02:57):
Maybe, maybe, maybe the pick up line was so smooth it
was a pick up line, but itwasn't a pick up line.
Norah (03:03):
I used a pick up line on Cole.
Dad (03:05):
What was your pick up line on
Norah (03:06):
It was over TikTok.
Dad (03:07):
What was the pick up line on TikTok?
Norah (03:09):
said, do you want to play 8 ball?
Or game pigeon?
Dad (03:12):
is that a pick up line?
Norah (03:14):
It's as close to a pick up line as you can have over the
phone.
It was how I was asking him forhis number without asking for
his
Dad (03:22):
See I said to your mom, because we were in a, we were in
a bar, and I said, I really wantto ask you to dinner, but I
don't know you, so can we talkfirst so I can get to know you?
Norah (03:31):
It's Riz.
Dad (03:32):
That was, that was the, that's Riz, what does that mean?
Norah (03:35):
Charisma.
Dad (03:35):
A charisma?
Okay, got it.
Norah (03:38):
it was the, it was the word of the year last year.
Dad (03:41):
Riz?
Norah (03:42):
Yeah.
Dad (03:43):
Really?
Are there any other slang wordsI should know besides Riz if I
want to be hep with the Gen Z?
Norah (03:50):
Honestly, it's a lot of Gen Alpha now that's making some
other words.
They're getting old enough to beable to do
Dad (03:55):
Are you Gen Z or Gen
Norah (03:56):
I'm Gen
Dad (03:57):
you're Gen Z.
So what, so what's some of theGen Alpha slang that I need to
know?
Norah (04:01):
Oh, they're a big fan of skibbity.
Dad (04:03):
Skibbity.
What is
Norah (04:04):
I heard that.
I heard that sometimes in thedaycare I don't even know what
it means if I'm being so honest
Dad (04:10):
Okay.
Norah (04:10):
see what Urban Dictionary says.
Dad (04:14):
Oh boy.
This might also beinappropriate.
Norah (04:18):
Yeah.
Oh Merriam Webster has adefinition of it
Dad (04:22):
Webster's Dictionary has a definition for scgibity
Norah (04:25):
Mm hmm.
It's a nonsense internet termconnected to an absurdist
YouTube show about evil toilets.
Dad (04:33):
evil toilets.
Norah (04:34):
A popular YouTube show featuring human headed toilets
battling camera headed humans.
Dad (04:39):
I'm going to go on record as saying I do not want my
toilet to be evil.
We had those, we had thoserobotic toilets in England.
Do you
Norah (04:45):
I didn't like it, actually.
Dad (04:47):
they were evil robotic toilets and then you're sitting
down to do your business andyou're just gonna worry about
your butt getting chomped off bythe evil toilet?
Not down.
Norah (04:55):
There's also, oh Ohio.
Ohio's known as cringe or
Dad (05:00):
Yeah, that I knew.
Can I also say that the robotictoilet in London didn't work
really well?
Cause A, there was no way toturn off the heat, or I couldn't
figure out how to turn
Norah (05:10):
I the heater freaked me out.
Dad (05:12):
burned the hell out of my butt, number one.
And then it would just go up anddown randomly, so I'd be like,
peeing, and the lid would juststart to go down, and I'm like,
what the hell?
Norah (05:23):
I was afraid I was gonna get squirted at every time I
used it by the bidet.
Dad (05:26):
There was a, wait, there was a bidet?
Norah (05:28):
I didn't know how to use it, but there was a bidet with
it.
You can't have a robot toiletand not have a
Dad (05:33):
Well, that's, that's true.
At least it didn't talk to you.
Norah (05:37):
Yeah, that was like a Black Mirror episode, that's
where I would've drawn the line,I think.
Dad (05:40):
wanna try on the light at the talking robotic toilet?
Norah (05:42):
Yeah.
Put a, put a, put a would've putlike a muzzle on it or
something, I can't deal withthat.
Dad (05:47):
have had to have unplugged it from the wall.
Norah (05:49):
Yeah, no thank you.
I'll lift the toilet seat upmyself.
Dad (05:52):
so, robotic toilet's no good.
Norah (05:55):
Mm mm.
Dad (05:56):
Okay.
Valentine's Day though, you're afan?
Norah (06:00):
I think so.
You aren't.
Dad (06:03):
It's, it's not that, it's, alright, so here's the thing.
It's not that I'm,
Norah (06:06):
because grandma loves Valentine's Day.
Dad (06:10):
that, that's her favorite holiday.
It's not that I I'm not a fan.
I guess it is that I'm not a fanof Valentine's Day.
It just feels artificial to me.
It feels, it, yeah, it feels youlove somebody, so now let's come
up with a day so that you canshow them how much you love them
by buying them flowers andgiving them a card and buying
them chocolates or another gift.
(06:31):
It just seems fake to me.
I don't know.
Norah (06:34):
I like getting presents and giving
Dad (06:35):
I know you do.
Norah (06:36):
I'm up for it.
Dad (06:38):
Worse than Valentine's Day, in Ohio we have Sweetest Day,
which is in October.
Norah (06:44):
We do.
Dad (06:44):
Yeah, it's a, I think it's a holiday that American
Greetings made up to have a daylike Valentine's Day, but in
October.
I think one year they juststarted printing cards it's
Sweetest Day, so everybody gobuy cards and other stuff for
your, for your sweetest.
So it's Valentine's Day light,and it's in October, and I,
I've, I've never celebrated thateither.
Norah (07:05):
Cards have gotten so crazy expensive.
I bought my card, because, well,because Cole and I's anniversary
was like two weeks beforeValentine's Day.
Dad (07:13):
You, you
Norah (07:14):
our budget a little.
Dad (07:15):
You have had the month of romance.
Norah (07:18):
I have.
So we, we set a budget for ouranniversary.
We set a lesser budget forValentine's Day.
But I went to get a card andthey were like five dollars.
And I was like, I don't want tospend five dollars on a card.
I'll go to the dollar store andget one that looks the same.
Dad (07:30):
Wow! Budget cards for Valentine's Day.
You could
Norah (07:35):
right?
I didn't get a card forValentine's Day.
Dad (07:37):
You could also make a card for free.
Norah (07:41):
No, you have to pay for printer paper here.
Dad (07:44):
What?
If you need to print something,you gotta pay for You gotta pay
for Well, yeah, I guess thatmakes sense.
Because the same if you have to,like We used to we used to make
Xerox copies.
And you had to pay for copies inthe
Norah (07:55):
We get like a certain amount a semester, actually.
I've, the, this is the only timeI've had to print stuff.
My French professor makes usprint stuff for class, because
now I have to use electronics inclass.
But every other class, I havenever had to print anything.
Dad (08:08):
Electronics are mal.
Norah (08:11):
Wee.
Dad (08:11):
Huh.
Okay,
Norah (08:14):
So.

Dad (08:18):

yeah, you get, it's, yeah.
Norah (08:23):
It's an excuse for Cole to come visit me.
Dad (08:25):
There, that, that too.
So, let me hear what does a,what does an 18 year old do for
Valentine's Day these days?
Norah (08:34):
Well he got in kind of late, that's not all actually it
was just dark out when he got inbecause he had class.
And then we got dinner, butbecause it was Valentine's Day,
there was a really long wait.
And the restaurant we wanted togo to did not take reservations.
So we waited for an hour forfood.
We went to Amato's, which wasvery good.
Actually, they had an onlinewaitlist that you could join.
(08:57):
And I joined that, and then itkicked me off by the time we got
there.
So I went to the front, and Iwas like, Hey, I was on the
waitlist, and it's not working.
And then they just bumped us upto the front of the, of the
list.
Yeah.
Dad (09:09):
We ate there, right?
At Amato's?
Norah (09:10):
Yeah, you and, we only I think when we visited the French
class, we did.
Dad (09:15):
Yeah, it was real the food was good.
Norah (09:18):
either, so I like that.
Dad (09:20):
Always good for a student on a budget.
Not very expensive.
You don't want to blow out thebudget on a meal.
Norah (09:25):
Pepperoni pizza.
Dad (09:26):
Yum.
Norah (09:28):
And then We were gonna get dessert, but we were too
full from the pizza, so wedidn't.
So we went back to the dorm, wewatched Legally Blonde,
Dad (09:37):
Yeah.
Norah (09:38):
and then that was it.
We went to bed.
So, pretty short day.
I don't stay up very late, so.
Dad (09:45):
a banger of a Valentine's Day.
Pepperoni pizza and
Norah (09:49):
Oh, and we, we, we traded, we traded gifts.
That was the first thing we didwhen we got there.

Norah (09:56):
I got, I got flowers over there.
Dad (09:59):
Lovely.
Norah (10:00):
they're dying, though, but I don't want to get rid of
them because they're reallypretty.
Dad (10:03):
I mean, you can dry them and make dried flowers or make
potpourri or whatever.
Norah (10:06):
hmm.
I got a little stuffed animalthat's off my bed.
It's a little elephant.
And Cole sprayed some of hisperfume, his cologne on it.
I got this little Care Bear.
It's the best friend Care Bearbecause I'm Cole's best friend.
Dad (10:21):

Norah (10:22):
Isn't it so cute?
Dad (10:23):
It's, it's purple for the listeners.
It's a purple, it's a purple
Norah (10:27):
And there's a little rainbow on it.
Dad (10:28):

That's lovely.
Norah (10:32):
I got Lego roses.
And a bag of sour.
Punch straws, cause they're myfavorite candy.
Dad (10:40):
Very nice.
Very nice.
Okay, so then, on the otherside, then what did you get coal
for Valentine's
Norah (10:47):
I got Cole.
Also Lego flowers, that was notplanned.
Dad (10:51):
Okay.
Norah (10:52):
And then I went thrifting and I got him some sweaters.
And a little vase to put hisLego flowers in.
I also got
Dad (10:59):
the, did you see the flowers yet?
You were Lego flowers.
I thought you said they werereal flowers.
Norah (11:04):
he got me lego flowers and real
Dad (11:06):
Oh, okay.
Got it,
Norah (11:07):
lego roses.
Dad (11:09):

Norah (11:10):
Yeah, and I got

Norah (11:11):
lego baby's breath for our anniversary and then lego
two lips for Valentine's Day,
Dad (11:16):
Got it.
Norah (11:16):
and then I got him a vase to put him in and Trying to
think, what else?
Oh, well, you may think this isoffensive, but every single time
we hang out He steals my dryshampoo, so I bought him a thing
of dry shampoo and wrapped itbecause I thought it was funny.
Dad (11:32):
Why would that be offensive?
Norah (11:33):
I don't know, because I feel like anything relating to
hygiene kind of offends peoplesometimes.
Dad (11:37):
Oh, no,
Norah (11:38):
saying he's dirty, he just likes my dry shampoo, so I
bought him some.
Dad (11:41):
it's not like he's Pig Pan and you're telling him, dude,
wash your hair.
It's, it's,
Norah (11:46):
He just, it works very well on his hair, so I bought
some for him.
Dad (11:49):
that's what's called an inside joke.
That's okay.
Norah (11:52):
And yeah, and I got him three sweaters.
So, got him an Argyle sweater,and that has like red and black.
And you know the sweater thatyou and mom got him for
Christmas?
There was a sweater that wasvery similar to that, but it was
like brown instead.
It was actually vintage OldNavy, so I picked that up.
And I also got like a collaredshirt, because he likes his
(12:14):
collared shirts.
Dad (12:14):
Got it.
Very nice.
Norah (12:18):
Yes,
Dad (12:18):
Very,
Norah (12:19):
good Valentine's Day and then that Saturday we went
bowling.
I almost won, Cole beat me byTwo points,
Dad (12:27):
Okay.
Norah (12:28):
But he's injured right now, so I think that was
probably why, because normallyhe's really good at bowling.
Dad (12:32):
Did you go bumpers or no bumpers?
Norah (12:34):
No, the guy looked at us and went, you guys don't need
bumpers.
And I
Dad (12:38):
And you're like have you seen me bowl?
Norah (12:40):
Because it was an older, it was an older bowling alley,
so it wasn't like you could putthem on, like they had to
Dad (12:44):
Oh, he had to go with the hook and
Norah (12:46):
Yeah.
So he put them down for us, andI was like, oh, you could have
kept them up.
And then, Corley wanted Chickfil A, so we got Chick fil A.
Dad (12:53):
Wait, wait, can we back up?
What was your bowling score?
Norah (12:57):
He won.
Dad (12:58):
81 is a respectable, that is a respectable bowling
Norah (13:02):
I got a strike.
Dad (13:03):
There's nothing wrong with 81.
Norah (13:06):
Yeah.
I'm not very good at bowling,though.
I like duck pin bowling.
We should do that more.
Dad (13:10):
I, I look at it this way, there's 10 pins on the lane,
right?
And there's, and you bowl 10frames.
So that means out of all 10pins, you knock down 81 percent
of the pins.
That's pretty damn good.
Norah (13:24):
That, you know what?
Stats.
You're so right.
Dad (13:28):
That's how I look at it.
So anything over 100, which Inever get because I'm a terrible
bowler, that's like bonuspoints,
Norah (13:34):
Cole's normally in the 100 range, so he was a little
humbled.
Yeah, he's pretty good atbowling, but his back's been
hurting him, so he couldn't bowlas he wanted to.
Dad (13:43):
I work with a guy who bowls in like the over 200s.
Norah (13:46):
That's crazy.
Dad (13:47):
Isn't that crazy?
Norah (13:50):
Yeah.
Dad (13:52):
I don't
Norah (13:52):
know, it was, it was pretty fun, though.
I liked it.
Dad (13:55):
Is there anything you enjoy enough to do it so much that you
get that good at it?
Norah (13:59):
I mean I like playing guitar.
I don't know if I like it thatmuch.
I used to.
I was like
Dad (14:06):
you want, do you want to play guitar like five hours a
day, seven days a week, so youget so good that you can like,
you
Norah (14:12):
I like going to
Dad (14:13):
like Jack White?
You, you, and you're good at,and you're good at that too?
Norah (14:17):
That's, yeah, and I go to school for not five hours a day,
but close to.
Dad (14:22):
Yeah, I don't think there's anything I, I like doing so much
that I want to do it so oftenthat I get to be like, that good
at it.
Norah (14:30):
loving me.
Dad (14:31):
Well, that comes naturally, my dear.
I'm contractually obligatedbecause you're, Half your
genetics are mine.
Norah (14:38):
but I'm 18 now, so you're actually not anymore.
Dad (14:41):
Oh no, I still am.
What?!
Norah (14:44):
that's a thing.
Some people just get kicked outwhen they're 18.
I think it's crazy.
It's not uncommon as common inEuropean countries, but because
they have stronger the WestUnited States, I'm learning this
in my psych class, has prettybad family values generally.
Most families don't eat at thedinner table together.
That's very uncommon, which Ithought was crazy.
Dad (15:04):
We always, we made that a big deal in our house, that we
always, we have family dinnerstogether.
I think that's important, cause,for us to get together at least
once a day as a family.
Norah (15:12):
Yeah, so, yeah.
So, I thought it wasinteresting.
Dad (15:15):
We had family dinner tonight, without you,
unfortunately, since you're downin college.
But it was our, our last meal in

Yeah, we are in like a storageunit surplus.
Or Oasis, over here.
Dad (17:16):
They're, they're, those storage things are big money.
Cause you just build them,there's no overhead.
You don't have to put any monany money in to operate it once
you build it.
You just build it and then juststart charging rent for people
to rent out those things.
Norah (17:29):
I know for sure me and August are gonna split one.
Because August can't bring allof that back home to Texas.
But Lily and Andrew have tocheck with their parents, I
think.
Dad (17:37):
Okay.
Norah (17:39):
It's 100 a month, so if we split it four ways for two or
three months, it's 25 a month,so it's not bad.
Dad (17:45):
crazy easier than bringing it all home.
Norah (17:48):
Well, because now you guys won't have to come pick me
up.
Dad (17:50):
Right.
You'll just you can just packyour car with what you need and
come home.
I mean, we'll
Norah (17:54):
Because most of this stuff I'm not bringing home with
me.
I'll bring, my wall decorationswill stay here, my lamp will
stay here.
Yeah, actually all of mydecorations
Dad (18:04):
your all your bedding will stay.
Norah (18:07):
all of my storage stuff I have toiletries at home, all of
my medicine that isn't like mydaily medicine will stay
Dad (18:14):
Right.
The fridge will stay.
Norah (18:16):
Yeah, all, yeah, literally everything but
clothing and like daily medicineand chargers, actually not even
chargers because I have allthese chargers at home, these
are like the extra long ones.
So, I don't have much to takehome actually, it'll just be
clothes really.
Dad (18:29):
Oh.
Clothes clothes and guitar.
Awesome.
Norah (18:34):
That's all I've got.

Nothing, nothing screens romancelike Chick fil A.
Norah (18:50):
in protein and not terrible in calories, that's why
we went.
Dad (18:53):
Just terrible for morals and values.
Norah (18:57):
So was every company.
Dad (18:58):
Yeah, probably.
See, you might as well just,yeah, I guess all the money goes
to the evil empire one way orthe other, so you might as well
eat good chicken sandwiches.
Norah (19:08):

I
Dad (19:10):
You and I, you
Norah (19:11):

Norah (19:14):
Everything's evil.
Amazon's evil.
Everything's evil.
Dad (19:19):
You and I went on a Chick-fil-A date once.
Norah (19:21):
I actually just saw a TikTok about that.
That there was, I don't knowcause Chick fil A hosted a daddy
daughter dance and I don't knowif they still do that or not,
but there was a TikTok of thesetwo dads across from tables with
their daughters in fancydresses, and it was like daddy

Dad (19:38):

We got all dressed up.
Norah (19:40):
They were all dressed up, it was so
Dad (19:41):
You, you put on, you put on a little fancy little girl dress
and it was daddy daughter, daddydaughter, dinner date night at
Chick-fil-A and you wanted togo, so I took you to Chick-fil-A
for dinner.
You and I sat they hadconversation cards on the table,
assuming that dad didn't knowhow to have conversations with
their daughters.
I was kind of offended by it.
Norah (20:02):
Well, some people might not.
Maybe, maybe they only see theirdaughter once a
Dad (20:06):
Not us we do it every other week and record it for the world
to listen to
Norah (20:10):
I talked to you.
In between
Dad (20:12):
yeah I know I know we do
Norah (20:13):
I was really upset that you guys had plans last night,
and I was stuck in my dorm bymyself.
Dad (20:17):
I'm sorry
Norah (20:19):
I felt like a loser.
Dad (20:21):
Sorry, I mean if you were home You could have come with if
you want to hang out with theadults while we while we do
adult things
Norah (20:29):
It's okay, I talked to Donovan, and then I played video
games with Cole.
Dad (20:32):
see perfect Saturday night There were many Saturday nights
when I was in college that Istayed in and played video games
Norah (20:40):
I don't know, just, I don't know.
I had, no, I had to go to aparty this semester.
It was pretty okay, actually.
I had fun.
I went to La Casa, which is theSpanish speaking house.
Dad (20:48):
Oh,
Norah (20:50):
Much nicer than the frats.
Dad (20:52):
okay.
Norah (20:52):
So much
Dad (20:53):
Slew stands for
Norah (20:55):
Small living
Dad (20:56):
small and they're themed.
Okay, so this was the Spanishslew.
Do they serve te, do they servetequila at the Spanish
Norah (21:05):
everything's bring your own drink.
Dad (21:07):
Okay.
Norah (21:08):
Boring.
Dad (21:10):
it's, it's, it's a liability issue'cause they're
all campus owned
Norah (21:14):
Yeah, I know.
Dad (21:16):
so they can't, they, they can't, I mean, they'll, they'll,
they'll lose their house if theyare caught serving.
Under alcohol to underagepeople.
So
Norah (21:26):
It's a shame.
We're building a bar on campus!
Dad (21:29):
know you are that's really cool.
I saw the pictures.
It looks nice
Norah (21:32):
People are upset about that.
Dad (21:33):
why
Norah (21:34):
They're like, why can't we fix there's leakage in the
science building, and thelibrary's still under
construction.
Dad (21:40):
because though because the
Norah (21:42):
Because alumni want to donate to fancy
Dad (21:44):
Well, there's that and it's those those are the kind of
things that attract people tocome to this Nobody cares about
the science building whenthey're looking at colleges they
do care if there's a cool hangout on campus with a bar and
Norah (21:56):
Volleyball courts.
Dad (21:57):
we had a when I was in college.
We had a pub on campus.
You know what it was called
Norah (22:01):
I'm thinking.
Because Binghamton, the Binghangout ton.
Dad (22:06):
It was called the campus pub.
Norah (22:08):
Oh, they could have been more clever with it.
Dad (22:11):
They could have been more clever with it.
And then I think maybe 20 yearsago, they shut it down.
Because they thought it wasinappropriate for a state
university to spend like tax totaxpayer money to operate a bar
on a college campus.
And I guess that makes sense.
And so, but it was a coolhangout.
I mean, you can go and when youwere 21, you can go like on
(22:33):
campus and drink and they haddecent.
Bar food there for campus food,
Norah (22:38):
I'm wondering
Dad (22:39):
bummed when they closed.
Norah (22:39):
if I'll be able to use my on campus dining dollars there
when I'm 21.
Dad (22:45):
Aren't they gonna have a performance space there?
A stage where you can perform?
Norah (22:49):
can perform.
Dad (22:50):
Yeah,
Norah (22:52):
That'd be so easy, you don't barely have to walk
anywhere.
Cause it's one of the old frathouses, I think.
Dad (22:56):
we'll be down to see you perform in a few weeks.

Hey, Norah,
Norah (00:01):
Hey, Dad.
Dad (00:02):
What did the chemist say to her boyfriend on Valentine's
day?
Norah (00:06):
Oh, wait, wait.
Oh, I don't know, but there wasa period last year where my
friends and I were really boredin our classes.
We looked up science what arethey called?
When you hit on somebody, like aone liner.
Dad (00:19):
One liner.
Norah (00:20):
Yeah.
So, I don't know.
Tell me.
Dad (00:23):
I think of you periodically.
Norah (00:26):
Oh, that's good.
There's some pretty good onesout
Dad (00:27):
Ah, it's a banger.
Norah (00:29):
There's some pretty good ones out there.
There is and I can't think ofthem off the top of my head, but
they're pretty good.
So,
Dad (00:36):
I have this joke and it's awesome if I can only remember
it.
Norah (00:39):
Pick up lines.
That's what they're
Dad (00:40):
Pick up lines.
Science pick up lines.
Well, that's not what we'retalking about this week.
What are we talking about thisweek?
Norah (00:47):
talking about Valentine's Day.
Dad (00:49):
Yay, love, that's so, I, I, sort of, I guess a pickup line
could get you a date forValentine's Day.
Norah (00:59):
I'm intrigued now.
I need to find it.
Dad (01:13):
Welcome back to the Norah and Dad show.
I am Dad.
I'm here with Norah who, whilethe theme music played, found
some banger science Pick uplines, Norah, the stage is all
yours.
Norah (01:29):
is the one that we thought was crazy, because we
were we were looking it upduring class and we were, like,
texting each other.
Okay, you ready?
Dad (01:37):
I am, I am ready.
Norah (01:38):
It's a little inappropriate, I must warn you.
Dad (01:40):
Oh,
Norah (01:42):
I didn't know how to say this word.
It's a science word, that'sokay.
If I was an enzyme, I'd be DNAhelicase, so I could unzip your
genes.
I don't know what a helicase is,but helicase.
Dad (01:54):
guessing it's something that splits a DNA strand based
on the context of the joke.
That's really funny.
Yes, a little, I'm ashamed ofyou, that's a little
inappropriate.
Norah (02:06):
one's worse.
Dad (02:08):
Can you say it?
Norah (02:09):
I don't want mom to get mad at me.
Dad (02:12):
Well, let's, let's hear it and maybe I can edit it out.
Norah (02:15):
No, you also laughed at this one.
This is the one I think Iremembered.
If my right leg is the cell walland my left the membrane, do you
want to be the cytoplasm?
Dad (02:24):
That's horrendous.
That's equal parts dorky anddirty.
Norah (02:31):
Can you imagine you're out somewhere and somebody walks
up to you and says that?
Dad (02:36):
I mean, I guess you would either get like a stunned look
on your face.
Like I have no idea what you'retalking about that you're
speaking a foreign language oryou get slapped, or maybe you'd
get a date out of it.
Norah (02:49):
I don't think so.
Dad (02:50):
I I did not use a pickup line when I met your mom.
Norah (02:54):
Yeah, that's probably a good move.
Dad (02:55):
Or maybe I, or maybe I
Norah (02:56):
not the pick up line
Dad (02:57):
Maybe, maybe, maybe the pick up line was so smooth it
was a pick up line, but itwasn't a pick up line.
Norah (03:03):
I used a pick up line on Cole.
Dad (03:05):
What was your pick up line on
Norah (03:06):
It was over TikTok.
Dad (03:07):
What was the pick up line on TikTok?
Norah (03:09):
said, do you want to play 8 ball?
Or game pigeon?
Dad (03:12):
is that a pick up line?
Norah (03:14):
It's as close to a pick up line as you can have over the
phone.
It was how I was asking him forhis number without asking for
his
Dad (03:22):
See I said to your mom, because we were in a, we were in
a bar, and I said, I really wantto ask you to dinner, but I
don't know you, so can we talkfirst so I can get to know you?
Norah (03:31):
It's Riz.
Dad (03:32):
That was, that was the, that's Riz, what does that mean?
Norah (03:35):
Charisma.
Dad (03:35):
A charisma?
Okay, got it.
Norah (03:38):
it was the, it was the word of the year last year.
Dad (03:41):
Riz?
Norah (03:42):
Yeah.
Dad (03:43):
Really?
Are there any other slang wordsI should know besides Riz if I
want to be hep with the Gen Z?
Norah (03:50):
Honestly, it's a lot of Gen Alpha now that's making some
other words.
They're getting old enough to beable to do
Dad (03:55):
Are you Gen Z or Gen
Norah (03:56):
I'm Gen
Dad (03:57):
you're Gen Z.
So what, so what's some of theGen Alpha slang that I need to
know?
Norah (04:01):
Oh, they're a big fan of skibbity.
Dad (04:03):
Skibbity.
What is
Norah (04:04):
I heard that.
I heard that sometimes in thedaycare I don't even know what
it means if I'm being so honest
Dad (04:10):
Okay.
Norah (04:10):
see what Urban Dictionary says.
Dad (04:14):
Oh boy.
This might also beinappropriate.
Norah (04:18):
Yeah.
Oh Merriam Webster has adefinition of it
Dad (04:22):
Webster's Dictionary has a definition for scgibity
Norah (04:25):
Mm hmm.
It's a nonsense internet termconnected to an absurdist
YouTube show about evil toilets.
Dad (04:33):
evil toilets.
Norah (04:34):
A popular YouTube show featuring human headed toilets
battling camera headed humans.
Dad (04:39):
I'm going to go on record as saying I do not want my
toilet to be evil.
We had those, we had thoserobotic toilets in England.
Do you
Norah (04:45):
I didn't like it, actually.
Dad (04:47):
they were evil robotic toilets and then you're sitting
down to do your business andyou're just gonna worry about
your butt getting chomped off bythe evil toilet?
Not down.
Norah (04:55):
There's also, oh Ohio.
Ohio's known as cringe or
Dad (05:00):
Yeah, that I knew.
Can I also say that the robotictoilet in London didn't work
really well?
Cause A, there was no way toturn off the heat, or I couldn't
figure out how to turn
Norah (05:10):
I the heater freaked me out.
Dad (05:12):
burned the hell out of my butt, number one.
And then it would just go up anddown randomly, so I'd be like,
peeing, and the lid would juststart to go down, and I'm like,
what the hell?
Norah (05:23):
I was afraid I was gonna get squirted at every time I
used it by the bidet.
Dad (05:26):
There was a, wait, there was a bidet?
Norah (05:28):
I didn't know how to use it, but there was a bidet with
it.
You can't have a robot toiletand not have a
Dad (05:33):
Well, that's, that's true.
At least it didn't talk to you.
Norah (05:37):
Yeah, that was like a Black Mirror episode, that's
where I would've drawn the line,I think.
Dad (05:40):
wanna try on the light at the talking robotic toilet?
Norah (05:42):
Yeah.
Put a, put a, put a would've putlike a muzzle on it or
something, I can't deal withthat.
Dad (05:47):
have had to have unplugged it from the wall.
Norah (05:49):
Yeah, no thank you.
I'll lift the toilet seat upmyself.
Dad (05:52):
so, robotic toilet's no good.
Norah (05:55):
Mm mm.
Dad (05:56):
Okay.
Valentine's Day though, you're afan?
Norah (06:00):
I think so.
You aren't.
Dad (06:03):
It's, it's not that, it's, alright, so here's the thing.
It's not that I'm,
Norah (06:06):
because grandma loves Valentine's Day.
Dad (06:10):
that, that's her favorite holiday.
It's not that I I'm not a fan.
I guess it is that I'm not a fanof Valentine's Day.
It just feels artificial to me.
It feels, it, yeah, it feels youlove somebody, so now let's come
up with a day so that you canshow them how much you love them
by buying them flowers andgiving them a card and buying
them chocolates or another gift.
(06:31):
It just seems fake to me.
I don't know.
Norah (06:34):
I like getting presents and giving
Dad (06:35):
I know you do.
Norah (06:36):
I'm up for it.
Dad (06:38):
Worse than Valentine's Day, in Ohio we have Sweetest Day,
which is in October.
Norah (06:44):
We do.
Dad (06:44):
Yeah, it's a, I think it's a holiday that American
Greetings made up to have a daylike Valentine's Day, but in
October.
I think one year they juststarted printing cards it's
Sweetest Day, so everybody gobuy cards and other stuff for
your, for your sweetest.
So it's Valentine's Day light,and it's in October, and I,
I've, I've never celebrated thateither.
Norah (07:05):
Cards have gotten so crazy expensive.
I bought my card, because, well,because Cole and I's anniversary
was like two weeks beforeValentine's Day.
Dad (07:13):
You, you
Norah (07:14):
our budget a little.
Dad (07:15):
You have had the month of romance.
Norah (07:18):
I have.
So we, we set a budget for ouranniversary.
We set a lesser budget forValentine's Day.
But I went to get a card andthey were like five dollars.
And I was like, I don't want tospend five dollars on a card.
I'll go to the dollar store andget one that looks the same.
Dad (07:30):
Wow! Budget cards for Valentine's Day.
You could
Norah (07:35):
right?
I didn't get a card forValentine's Day.
Dad (07:37):
You could also make a card for free.
Norah (07:41):
No, you have to pay for printer paper here.
Dad (07:44):
What?
If you need to print something,you gotta pay for You gotta pay
for Well, yeah, I guess thatmakes sense.
Because the same if you have to,like We used to we used to make
Xerox copies.
And you had to pay for copies inthe
Norah (07:55):

So, let me hear what does a,what does an 18 year old do for
Valentine's Day these days?
Norah (08:34):
Well he got in kind of late, that's not all actually it
was just dark out when he got inbecause he had class.
And then we got dinner, butbecause it was Valentine's Day,
there was a really long wait.
And the restaurant we wanted togo to did not take reservations.
So we waited for an hour forfood.
We went to Amato's, which wasvery good.
Actually, they had an onlinewaitlist that you could join.
(08:57):
And I joined that, and then itkicked me off by the time we got
there.
So I went to the front, and Iwas like, Hey, I was on the
waitlist, and it's not working.
And then they just bumped us upto the front of the, of the
list.
Yeah.
Dad (09:09):
We ate there, right?
At Amato's?
Norah (09:10):
Yeah, you and, we only I think when we visited the French
class, we did.
Dad (09:15):
Yeah, it was real the food was good.
Norah (09:18):
either, so I like that.
Dad (09:20):
Always good for a student on a budget.
Not very expensive.
You don't want to blow out thebudget on a meal.
Norah (09:25):
Pepperoni pizza.
Dad (09:26):
Yum.
Norah (09:28):
And then We were gonna get dessert, but we were too
full from the pizza, so wedidn't.
So we went back to the dorm, wewatched Legally Blonde,
Dad (09:37):
Yeah.
Norah (09:38):
and then that was it.
We went to bed.
So, pretty short day.
I don't stay up very late, so.
Dad (09:45):
a banger of a Valentine's Day.
Pepperoni pizza and
Norah (09:49):
Oh, and we, we, we traded, we traded gifts.
That was the first thing we didwhen we got there.
Dad (09:53):
What did you get for Valentine's Day?
Norah (09:56):
I got, I got flowers over there.
Dad (09:59):
Lovely.
Norah (10:00):
they're dying, though, but I don't want to get rid of
them because they're reallypretty.
Dad (10:03):
I mean, you can dry them and make dried flowers or make
potpourri or whatever.
Norah (10:06):
hmm.
I got a little stuffed animalthat's off my bed.
It's a little elephant.
And Cole sprayed some of hisperfume, his cologne on it.
I got this little Care Bear.
It's the best friend Care Bearbecause I'm Cole's best friend.
Dad (10:21):

Norah (10:22):
Isn't it so cute?
Dad (10:23):
It's, it's purple for the listeners.
It's a purple, it's a purple
Norah (10:27):
And there's a little rainbow on it.
Dad (10:28):
That's the best friend Care Bear.
That's lovely.
Norah (10:32):
I got Lego roses.
And a bag of sour.
Punch straws, cause they're myfavorite candy.
Dad (10:40):
Very nice.
Very nice.
Okay, so then, on the otherside, then what did you get coal
for Valentine's
Norah (10:47):
I got Cole.
Also Lego flowers, that was notplanned.
Dad (10:51):
Okay.
Norah (10:52):
And then I went thrifting and I got him some sweaters.
And a little vase to put hisLego flowers in.
I also got
Dad (10:59):
the, did you see the flowers yet?
You were Lego flowers.
I thought you said they werereal flowers.
Norah (11:04):
he got me lego flowers and real
Dad (11:06):
Oh, okay.
Got it,
Norah (11:07):
lego roses.
Dad (11:09):

Norah (11:10):
Yeah, and I got
Dad (11:10):

Norah (11:11):
lego baby's breath for our anniversary and then lego
two lips for Valentine's Day,
Dad (11:16):
Got it.
Norah (11:16):
and then I got him a vase to put him in and Trying to
think, what else?
Oh, well, you may think this isoffensive, but every single time
we hang out He steals my dryshampoo, so I bought him a thing
of dry shampoo and wrapped itbecause I thought it was funny.
Dad (11:32):
Why would that be offensive?
Norah (11:33):
I don't know, because I feel like anything relating to
hygiene kind of offends peoplesometimes.
Dad (11:37):
Oh, no,
Norah (11:38):
saying he's dirty, he just likes my dry shampoo, so I
bought him some.
Dad (11:41):
it's not like he's Pig Pan and you're telling him, dude,
wash your hair.
It's, it's,
Norah (11:46):
He just, it works very well on his hair, so I bought
some for him.
Dad (11:49):
that's what's called an inside joke.
That's okay.
Norah (11:52):
And yeah, and I got him three sweaters.
So, got him an Argyle sweater,and that has like red and black.
And you know the sweater thatyou and mom got him for
Christmas?
There was a sweater that wasvery similar to that, but it was
like brown instead.
It was actually vintage OldNavy, so I picked that up.
And I also got like a collaredshirt, because he likes his
(12:14):
collared shirts.
Dad (12:14):
Got it.
Very nice.
Norah (12:18):
Yes,
Dad (12:18):
Very,
Norah (12:19):
good Valentine's Day and then that Saturday we went
bowling.
I almost won, Cole beat me byTwo points,
Dad (12:27):
Okay.
Norah (12:28):
But he's injured right now, so I think that was
probably why, because normallyhe's really good at bowling.
Dad (12:32):
Did you go bumpers or no bumpers?
Norah (12:34):
No, the guy looked at us and went, you guys don't need
bumpers.
And I
Dad (12:38):
And you're like have you seen me bowl?
Norah (12:40):
Because it was an older, it was an older bowling alley,
so it wasn't like you could putthem on, like they had to
Dad (12:44):
Oh, he had to go with the hook and
Norah (12:46):
Yeah.
So he put them down for us, andI was like, oh, you could have
kept them up.
And then, Corley wanted Chickfil A, so we got Chick fil A.
Dad (12:53):
Wait, wait, can we back up?
What was your bowling score?
Norah (12:57):
He won.
Dad (12:58):
81 is a respectable, that is a respectable bowling
Norah (13:02):
I got a strike.
Dad (13:03):
There's nothing wrong with 81.
Norah (13:06):
Yeah.
I'm not very good at bowling,though.
I like duck pin bowling.
We should do that more.
Dad (13:10):
I, I look at it this way, there's 10 pins on the lane,
right?
And there's, and you bowl 10frames.
So that means out of all 10pins, you knock down 81 percent
of the pins.
That's pretty damn good.
Norah (13:24):
That, you know what?
Stats.
You're so right.
Dad (13:28):
That's how I look at it.
So anything over 100, which Inever get because I'm a terrible
bowler, that's like bonuspoints,
Norah (13:34):
Cole's normally in the 100 range, so he was a little
humbled.
Yeah, he's pretty good atbowling, but his back's been
hurting him, so he couldn't bowlas he wanted to.
Dad (13:43):
I work with a guy who bowls in like the over 200s.
Norah (13:46):
That's crazy.
Dad (13:47):
Isn't that crazy?
Norah (13:50):
Yeah.
Dad (13:52):
I don't
Norah (13:52):
know, it was, it was pretty fun, though.
I liked it.
Dad (13:55):
Is there anything you enjoy enough to do it so much that you
get that good at it?
Norah (13:59):
I mean I like playing guitar.
I don't know if I like it thatmuch.
I used to.
I was like
Dad (14:06):
you want, do you want to play guitar like five hours a
day, seven days a week, so youget so good that you can like,
you
Norah (14:12):
I like going to
Dad (14:13):
like Jack White?
You, you, and you're good at,and you're good at that too?
Norah (14:17):
That's, yeah, and I go to school for not five hours a day,
but close to.
Dad (14:22):
Yeah, I don't think there's anything I, I like doing so much
that I want to do it so oftenthat I get to be like, that good
at it.
Norah (14:30):
loving me.
Dad (14:31):
Well, that comes naturally, my dear.
I'm contractually obligatedbecause you're, Half your
genetics are mine.
Norah (14:38):
but I'm 18 now, so you're actually not anymore.
Dad (14:41):
Oh no, I still am.
What?!
Norah (14:44):
that's a thing.
Some people just get kicked outwhen they're 18.
I think it's crazy.
It's not uncommon as common inEuropean countries, but because
they have stronger the WestUnited States, I'm learning this
in my psych class, has prettybad family values generally.
Most families don't eat at thedinner table together.
That's very uncommon, which Ithought was crazy.
Dad (15:04):
We always, we made that a big deal in our house, that we
always, we have family dinnerstogether.
I think that's important, cause,for us to get together at least
once a day as a family.
Norah (15:12):
Yeah, so, yeah.
So, I thought it wasinteresting.
Dad (15:15):
We had family dinner tonight, without you,
unfortunately, since you're downin college.
But it was our, our last meal in
Norah (15:22):
Oh, in the kitchen?
Dad (15:23):
our, in our current kitchen.
They're coming tomorrow to ripit out.
Norah (15:27):
Am I gonna have to pack over spring break?
Dad (15:29):
TBD.
Right now we're using yourbedroom.
Don't get offended, but we have,we're using it for a little bit
of storage right now.
Norah (15:36):
Where am I supposed to
Dad (15:37):
Well no, we'll make room for you.
We have the stuff, the, thecoats that were in the hall
closet are all hanging in yourcloset right now.
Norah (15:45):
You opened my closet?
Dad (15:46):
Yeah, why?
Norah (15:48):
Where you did it erupt like a volcano?
It was so bad when I left it,there was clothes everywhere.
Dad (15:54):
were, there was a giant mound of clothes on the floor
but they stayed in the closet,they did not fall out like a,
like a lava pool from a volcano.
Norah (16:01):
goal over spring break was to clean my actually that
was my goal over winter breakand then I never got to
Dad (16:05):
Okay, well, there's Right now there's a whole bunch of
coats hanging up in, in yourcloset cause we needed somewhere
to put them cause we needed themout of the hall closet since
they're ripping the floor up.
And then, Oh, and just all thecurtains from downstairs.
Are folded up in a nice, neatpile on your floor.
Norah (16:23):
I left it.
Dad (16:25):
Yeah, and your mom's storage bins from the bathroom
are in your bedroom, but shesaid she'd roll them out back
into the bathroom when you, whenyou come home.
Norah (16:32):
You know, I'm working with a tiny amount of space
here, so I'm used to Living.
I just need my bed.
As long as I have a bed and mydesk, I'll be happy.
Dad (16:41):
Got it.
Norah (16:42):
So,
Dad (16:42):
Yeah, you, you, you will have your bed and a desk.
Norah (16:45):
that's all I need.
Dad (16:46):
I know, how, how can you do your makeup if there's no desk?
Norah (16:50):
I know, I wasn't going to bring my mirror home over summer
break, because I was going toput it in storage, but I love my
mirror so much, I think I'mgoing to bring it home with me.
Dad (16:58):
Okay.
Have you guys found a storageplace yet for the summer?
Norah (17:01):
No.
Dad (17:03):
Is there a concern they might fill up and you
Norah (17:06):
There are like 20 around Delaware.
There are so many.
Yeah, we are in like a storageunit surplus.
Or Oasis, over here.
Dad (17:16):
They're, they're, those storage things are big money.
Cause you just build them,there's no overhead.
You don't have to put any monany money in to operate it once
you build it.
You just build it and then juststart charging rent for people
to rent out those things.
Norah (17:29):
I know for sure me and August are gonna split one.
Because August can't bring allof that back home to Texas.
But Lily and Andrew have tocheck with their parents, I
think.
Dad (17:37):
Okay.
Norah (17:39):
It's 100 a month, so if we split it four ways for two or
three months, it's 25 a month,so it's not bad.
Dad (17:45):
crazy easier than bringing it all home.
Norah (17:48):
Well, because now you guys won't have to come pick me
up.
Dad (17:50):
Right.
You'll just you can just packyour car with what you need and
come home.
I mean, we'll
Norah (17:54):
Because most of this stuff I'm not bringing home with
me.
I'll bring, my wall decorationswill stay here, my lamp will
stay here.
Yeah, actually all of mydecorations
Dad (18:04):

my medicine that isn't like mydaily medicine will stay

Norah (19:21):
I actually just saw a TikTok about that.

Norah (20:29):
It's okay, I talked to Donovan, and then I played video
games with Cole.
Dad (20:32):
see perfect Saturday night There were many Saturday nights
when I was in college that Istayed in and played video games
Norah (20:40):
I don't know, just, I don't know.
I had, no, I had to go to aparty this semester.
It was pretty okay, actually.
I had fun.
I went to La Casa, which is theSpanish speaking house.
Dad (20:48):
Oh,
Norah (20:50):
Much nicer than the frats.
Dad (20:52):
okay.
Norah (20:52):
So much
Dad (20:53):
Slew stands for
Norah (20:55):
Small living
Dad (20:56):
small and they're themed.
Okay, so this was the Spanishslew.
Do they serve te, do they servetequila at the Spanish
Norah (21:05):
everything's bring your own drink.
Dad (21:07):
Okay.
Norah (21:08):
Boring.
Dad (21:10):
it's, it's, it's a liability issue'cause they're
all campus owned
Norah (21:14):
Yeah, I know.
Dad (21:16):
so they can't, they, they can't, I mean, they'll, they'll,
they'll lose their house if theyare caught serving.
Under alcohol to underagepeople.
So
Norah (21:26):
It's a shame.
We're building a bar on campus!
Dad (21:29):
know you are that's really cool.
I saw the pictures.
It looks nice
Norah (21:32):
People are upset about that.
Dad (21:33):
why
Norah (21:34):
They're like, why can't we fix there's leakage in the
science building, and thelibrary's still under
construction.
Dad (21:40):
because though because the
Norah (21:42):
Because alumni want to donate to fancy
Dad (21:44):
Well, there's that and it's those those are the kind of
things that attract people tocome to this Nobody cares about
the science building whenthey're looking at colleges they
do care if there's a cool hangout on campus with a bar and
Norah (21:56):
Volleyball courts.
Dad (21:57):
we had a when I was in college.
We had a pub on campus.
You know what it was called
Norah (22:01):
I'm thinking.
Because Binghamton, the Binghangout ton.
Dad (22:06):
It was called the campus pub.
Norah (22:08):
Oh, they could have been more clever with it.
Dad (22:11):
They could have been more clever with it.
And then I think maybe 20 yearsago, they shut it down.
Because they thought it wasinappropriate for a state
university to spend like tax totaxpayer money to operate a bar
on a college campus.
And I guess that makes sense.
And so, but it was a coolhangout.
I mean, you can go and when youwere 21, you can go like on
(22:33):
campus and drink and they haddecent.
Bar food there for campus food,
Norah (22:38):
I'm wondering
Dad (22:39):
bummed when they closed.
Norah (22:39):
if I'll be able to use my on campus dining dollars there
when I'm 21.
Dad (22:45):
Aren't they gonna have a performance space there?
A stage where you can perform?
Norah (22:49):
can perform.
Dad (22:50):
Yeah,
Norah (22:52):

anywhere.
Cause it's one of the old frathouses, I think.
