Eric (00:00):
Matt, if you'll recall about, you know, two weeks ago,
sure, I opened this podcast withMagic With magic, with talking
about a very exciting date.
I was going on with Alyssa to amagic show.

Matt (00:19):
And then you texted me later that very day and told me,
hey, did you start editing theepisode yet?
And I said yes, and you said,great, we need to bleep the name
of the place Because Abra couldget a load of this shit.

Eric (00:44):
Gang, gang, and, and, and please.
This is the first sequel coldopen we've ever had.

Matt (00:50):
Yeah, no, true, true, true .
Uh, it's the follow-up.
What happened, eric?

Eric (00:58):
tell us the tricks oh man, oh okay, gang, I will preface
everything I'm about to say withI have nothing but the utmost
respect.
Oh, it's going to be good Forthe magic community and
magicians, and I will say this,and specifically the magicians I
saw that night, I have nothingbut respect for them, I want the

(01:21):
world for them.
May they Do you, may theythrive, do you you?
That being said, okay, allright, so, and I'll also say
this we had such a good time, we, we, we really did it.
Just, the good time time didn'treally come from the magic,

(01:45):
sure, um, so we got there, uh,and, and it was, it was, it was
in a hotel, at the grand bleepat the grand.

Matt (01:54):
Bleep grand is not involved in the name at the
grand bleep, a pest hotel um.

Eric (02:02):
So we, we got there, we got, we know we, we parked, we
sat in the lobby, we got somedrinks shared, some crab dip
nice oh, euphemism I'll remindeverybody again we're, we're,
we're about to head into a showthat has been billed to me as
like seven of, like the, themost kick-ass musicians from
around the east coast, and allthat yeah, yeah, I believe,

(02:25):
magella, we referred to it asthe coachella of magicians, uh,
so we go upstairs, like it'stime for the show.
We go upstairs and they're, andthey're doing like there's a
magician, like who is?
Like clearly, uh, the warm-upcrew.
Like, like, like the the bsquad the opening magician the

(02:47):
opening magician, not even.

Matt (02:49):
Well, man, it's sad to be the opening magician to a magic
show.

Eric (02:54):
Yeah, they're they're doing crowd work in the lobby
while people wait outside thedoors to the magic theater and
and to their credit, they're.
They're doing some close-upcard tricks and like they're
it's, they're, they're blowingour mind.
It's fun.
They're like, oh, that's great.
And and before the show youknow, alissa and I, over crab
dip, we're talking about likewhat we were the most stoked to.

(03:16):
Like what are you?
Because we haven't been to amagic show since.
Like we were children.
So we're like what are you, whatare you excited to see?
And like, what are you hopingto see?
And I'm just out here like Ineed to see a bitch get salt in
half.
Sure, that's classic, classic,classic.

Matt (03:32):
Saw me in half saw anyone in half well it sounds like
maybe you don't want tovolunteer yourself based on the
preamble to the story.

Eric (03:40):
Uh, well, so then then, like the, the, like the head
magician, the alpha comes outthe leader.
The leader and he's like hellowelcome, speaking in like doing
that affected, mysterious, likemagician's patter.

Matt (03:58):
I'm Duncan the Magnificent .

Eric (04:01):
Magnificent Duncan informs us that apparently the tickets
I paid for only pay for thefirst part of the show, excuse
me, yeah, so let's break thisdown.
Duncan informs us that yeah,there's, it's pay per magician.

(04:23):
No, yeah, there, there's,there's pay per magician no.
So what I thought I was gettingwas like these seven magicians.
No, what I got was like threeof those magicians, but like two
of them weren't even on theposter.
That's, that's the main showthat we're getting, that we're
about to go see, and then, if wewant, the vip experience of

(04:45):
other magicians which, but he'sannouncing this to the the hall.
To to to us in the lobby whohave already bought tickets oh,
you're not in your seats yet.

Matt (04:55):
This is oh, we're not even in our seat.

Eric (04:57):
yeah, we're just in the lobby, about to go in, and he
informs us that if we want toget the VIP experience, we could
pay $10 to his wife at anypoint.
And she's sitting there withher laptop and just the one who
checked us in and we're likecool.

Matt (05:16):
Carolyn, the office manager.

Eric (05:18):
And he was like you can do this at any time.
We're like cool.
Okay so is this a surprise toeveryone, or just you guys?
You could tell by the vibe that, well, the vips apparently,
because he was like who boughtvip tickets and like, excuse me,
who among you are veryimportant that you're, you're,

(05:40):
you're nailing the energy andand, like you know, some people
throw their hands up and and,and so they clearly knew about.
The rest of us were just kindof like okay.
Oh, there's some vips so part ofthe vip is like oh yes, you get
the vip seat, so vip people cancome into the theater and sit
first and then we'll alloweveryone else to come in.

(06:01):
Uh, two things.
One, the theater.
It truly like the size of mybedroom, is the entire space,
got it?
So we're let in.
Here's the hilarious thing.
Even though me and alissaweren't vips, the vips
apparently decided they didn'twant to sit right in front.
There was only like two orthree people, so me and alissa

(06:21):
go in.
We're like anyone sitting therefront row.
No, okay, vip seats didn't haveto pay ten dollars nice, uh, so
that's cool.

Matt (06:29):
Didn't even have to talk to duncan's wife.
Nope, okay, so you've stolenfirst class tickets.

Eric (06:35):
Yes, to the magic show, yes, great um, well, well, if we
want to stay for the extramagic, we we still have to pay
$10.

Dr. Lindsey R. Barr (06:43):
Oh, that's right.

Eric (06:44):
Yes, we go in, we sit down .
Nice.
And Matt, when I tell you thedifference between the VIP seats
and the regular schmuck seatsis a difference of three or four
feet, okay, like it is, yeah,but being that close to the
action.
So I'm just going to startrattling off some statistics

(07:05):
about this show.
Okay, statistic number one Justgoing to get this out of the
way right now.
Not a single magician we sawthat night had a 100% success
rate with their magic tricks.

Matt (07:18):
Oh no.

Eric (07:22):
Every single magician, without fail, had one trick, had
a fail.
That just that, just that justI can't.

Matt (07:33):
I can't imagine being a magician, being on stage, having
having a track, a trick failand continuing to want to be a
magician.
I think the first time thatrabbit done come out of the hat

(07:55):
I'd be like that's it for me.
I'm going to go become a highschool teacher.
Oh.

Eric (07:59):
Matt, let me hit you with the next statistic, now that you
mentioned rabbits coming out ofhat.
I mentioned, you know, folksgetting sawn in half.
No, tom Matt, 100% of thetricks we saw that night were
card tricks.
A hundred percent of them, 100%of them.
Even the tricks that startednot with cards turned into card

(08:20):
tricks and that's the trick matt.
They were all card they were.
They were all card tricks andI'd say a solid 80 of them were
all based on the same exactprinciple of of like magic trick
that I know and like mostpeople know, if you've studied

(08:43):
probability and statistics atall.
So it was once I'd seen one ofthem.
I've seen 80% of the show atthis point.

Matt (08:51):
Yeah, and you got that out of the way in the lobby, yeah.

Eric (08:55):
And also one of the magicians.
One of the three magicians Iwas seeing was the warm-up
magician from the lobby who alsodid tricks that he did in the
lobby wait a minute.

Matt (09:12):
He didn't even have a second act, he didn't have a
second trick.

Eric (09:16):
No, he just threw matt, alissa and I.
And again we are having alissaand I, because you and I talked
about this being the mostgenerous audience member
imaginable.
Despite everything that ishappening, matt, I am their
number one advocate throughoutthat entire show.
Sure, me and alissa are justlike.
We're here for you, we're,we're, we're, we're, we're

(09:36):
clapping, we're laughing at yourjokes.
It's okay, it's fine.

Matt (09:40):
We actually got called up on stage yeah, probably, because
you're not the only one booingand throwing tomatoes.

Eric (09:46):
Oh, everyone else is way too fucked up to care I mean, I
guess, if you go to a magic show, so, matt, we got called up and
and it was like for this nexttrick, I, he's like, for this
next trick I need two people whoknow each other very well, and
me and alissa our hands likewe're in the front row, a foot
and a half from this person,yeah, and we're like, we're like
, we raise our hands and we lookaround.

(10:07):
No one else is raising theirhands.
So we're like, we're like yes,nobody no.
And duncan says done and and and, dude, dude, pulls us up and
asks us how we know each other,like, oh yeah, we date.
And he's like, oh, any othercouples in here?
No other couples in theaudience?
Good, so he does a series ofthree tricks.
Okay, and folks, if you came tothis sequel looking for me to

(10:32):
like masked magician, anythingthat's going on you're in the
wrong fucking podcasts.

Matt (10:39):
I'm a magician's ally at all times, you won't reveal the
tricks, even though it soundslike maybe the magicians
themselves revealed their tricks.

Eric (10:48):
Yeah, and that is on them, that is on them.
So the way this worked withthis magician calling us up is
it was a series of three tricks.
He would do a trick with Alyssawe get some oohs.
Do a trick with me, we get someahs.
And then there's a third trickthat ties it all together.
So he does the trick for alissa, does the trick with me ah,

(11:14):
does the third trick?
We go, we flip, fucked up theprestige screwed up the trick
that we were not my car that itwas.
I was like, on the count ofthree, say the name of your card
, one, two, three, and I saidnine of hearts and alissa said
seven of hearts, like you couldtell, and that's kind of what it

(11:35):
made it worse.
As you could tell, he was justoff by a hair, like he was.
He must have gotten the cardjust to the left oh man, that,
that's a bummer.
So now I bring you back toremember.
I said no one had 100% successrate.
You did so while no one had100% success rate.
Only one of those magiciansstopped in the middle of the

(11:58):
trick and had to restart thetrick Now.

Matt (12:01):
That's just bad showmanship restart the trick
now.

Eric (12:07):
That's just bad showmanship.
And had to because it was acard trick.
Had to stop, take all the cardsback, put them all together,
and we had to watch him gothrough the motions in front of,
like muttering to himself okay,okay, I'm back and now this I
wish you could see how wide myeyes are.

Matt (12:27):
I would be mortified.
If I fucked up a trick, and sobad that I had to restart the
trick, I would drop, I wouldhand my cards to you and walk
off the stage, never to returnto any stage again.

Eric (12:47):
And Matt, I knew there was like a part one, part two to
the show, but I still thought Iwas getting like six or seven
magicians and they were like,all right, at this point, if
you're not a vip, you need toleave, and we did.
We were like we had a greattime, we love it.
We'll never forget thisexperience.

Matt (13:07):
Bye well, hello everybody and welcome to you.
Didn't Ask for this the podcastthat answers life's least

(13:28):
pressing questions.
My name is Matthew theMagnificent.

My true name is Valentino.

Matt (13:45):
Oh man, you are a big game , you are.
That's a deep cut for the magicnerds.
What'd you say?
No, we had.
We had crossing bits, damn itah never cross the bit never
cross the bits.
Ah damn, we are too in sync.
Sometimes we're bursting at theseams with it.
We are truly now eric.

(14:05):
Uh.
Well, first of all, how are you?
Oh?

Eric (14:09):
magical say no more.
Matt is knowingly tapping theside of his nose say no more uh,
matt, quick pitch.

Matt (14:25):
Yeah.

Eric (14:25):
We do podcast magic show.

Matt (14:31):
With no audio only.

Eric (14:33):
Now, Matt, look under your seat.

Matt (14:35):
My God.

Eric (14:37):
This shit writes itself.

Matt (14:38):
Oh my God, I can't believe a Liger got under there.
We can say anything.
You know what's great is audioonly.
Magic is just lies.

Eric (14:48):
Yeah, no, it's man.
I call it the theater of themind.

Matt (14:54):
The theater of the mind.

Eric (14:56):
It's what lazy dungeon masters use when they don't want
to bust out the battle grids.

Matt (15:01):
Oh, and it sounds like you know all about that Boy, do I?
I do it all the time oh boy, umwell, eric, I think it's only
appropriate that we jump rightinto some questions because we
eric a hundred.
This is episode 123, if you canbelieve it 123 and me and you,

(15:24):
and you and the rest and eric,120 episodes ago, in episode
three, we tried a segment calledunlikely fights a segment, I
will remind the listeners, whichwas originally the entire

(15:47):
premise of our podcast yes, andthen we pushed it to episode
three and we didn't revisit itagain until today so we are
gonna bring we're gonna bringlyFights from episode three, which
I believe to date remains oneof our least popular episodes,

(16:10):
but we will nevertheless tryagain.
Listen, we know a little bit, atiny bit more about what we're
doing this time around.
We're a bit more worldly nowand, honestly, it's only because
the question that was submittedfits the bill oh, it's, it's
perfect.

Eric (16:27):
Who are our fighters?
Who will win?

Matt (16:30):
only one way to find out and that is to stay tuned after
the first question, and thenwe're gonna wrap things up.
We've got a special guestjoining us.
Uh, we've got her on standbyright now in in the in the
waiting room.
She's in the green room.

Eric (16:45):
She's like an EMT at an event, like she's just waiting
with her pack ready to come in.

Matt (16:51):
Yeah, yeah, she's got a defibrillator at the ready to
save this show.
I talk, of course, about mybeautiful and talented wife,
lindsay, and her correctioncorner will be coming later.
The doctor is in.
The doctor will be in andshe'll be.
She can probably hear this bitfrom the other room and is
smirking why haven't we beendoing that the entire time?

Eric (17:14):
every time lindsey comes on the show, the doctor is in
the new bit just dropped.

Matt (17:21):
Wake up honey.
Uh okay.
Uh, eric, you want to give usthe first question of the day,
though we got to warm up alittle bit for the main event.

Eric (17:30):
Baby, do I?
This question comes from ourDiscord and this is from Bootsy
Hi, bootsy, hey Bootsy.
Bootsy asks what's the ultimatefield trip experience?

Matt (17:42):
And I like this question, eric questionnaire, because, as
you pointed out before we began,it is in the same vein as our
bathroom.
Five-star bathroom experiencequestion.
Yes, we have a way to craft afantasy.

Eric (17:58):
Oh my God, yes, we can write the wrongs of a reality.

Matt (18:04):
Now okay, well, let's start there.
Maybe you said wrongs.
Do you not have any field trip?
Do you not have a single fieldtrip?
In your memory banks thatstands out as being like oh yeah
, fucking, that one was great ohthey're, oh, they're definitely
some bangers.
The best one, and that's theone I want to know about.

Eric (18:22):
The best one.
I don't want those shitty onesWas a field trip that I wasn't
even supposed to be on.
God Eric, in my high school,the art department like the AP
art students.
They would have a yearly fieldtrip where they'd take the AP
art classes to the Museum ofModern Art in New York, yeah,

(18:46):
and it'd be like a whole daytrip thing, yeah, so I was not
in AP art.
I'm dog shit at art that isvisual.

Matt (18:58):
There's still a huge target there.
That.
I respectfully, will not shootat.

Eric (19:04):
Thank you, Matt.
You're welcome.
I'm not a a classical artistdon't talk about what you're not
.

Matt (19:10):
Talk about what you are let me tell you what.

Eric (19:12):
I am a theater major and I was a theater kid in high
school and because I was atheater kid, I was in the
building with all like the thetheater and arts classrooms all
the time.
Yeah, so me and my crew, wewere really tight with the art
teachers.
They loved us, so they actuallylet us come on the field trip.
Nice, and here's, here's,here's the beauty of it.

(19:35):
We, we got, um, I can'tremember who, because each like
there were groups like you, eachhad your group, like we'd all
go there on the Greyhound busand everyone had their group
where it was like the corechaperone for that group of like
five or six students.
Due to some we'll call itcreative accounting on our parts

(19:56):
, we were on this trip, but wedid not have a chaperone.
Oh, so what my group of likefive or six ne'er-do-wells did
is we rode the bus to new york.
We got off the bus in front ofthe museum of modern art and and
the more I describe this, moreI'm like I can't believe they

(20:16):
let us, they like they, they,they had even the system they
did have, and the system is yougo into the museum of modern art
and the bus will be back topick us up at like, at like you
know six or seven, and thenwe'll.
And then you know we andthey're like, yeah, you can like
check out like some of theshops around the museum or
whatever, but you know, don'tstray far, matt we don't stray

(20:37):
far, as they release you intoNew York City.
New York City Correct.
New york city new york citycorrect.
We got off the bus, neverstepped foot in the museum of
modern art and proceeded towander the streets of new york
for like the next five or sixhours, jesus and it fucking
ruled.
We, we, just we.

(20:58):
We walked around, we got pizza.
We went to the nintendo worldstore, like we got.
We went so fucking far.
We had to ride a bus back toMoMA.

Matt (21:07):
I was going to say those things already are getting a
little disparate, oh yeah.

Eric (21:14):
For a high school, Eric, that was peak.
Nothing will ever top that.
It was my first time ever goingto New York City.

Matt (21:22):
Was this during a school day, though?
Is this a weekend trip?
This, I believe York City Wasthis during a school day, though
Is this like a weekend trip?
This I?

Eric (21:26):
believe was either like on a Friday or like a weekend day.

Matt (21:30):
Because I think a field trip I mean, I had New York
trips every year with thetheater department as well, but
they were always on a Saturdayand it was like its own thing.
When I think field trip, Ithink of something you did
instead of being at school.
That is the end, and I thinkthat's the first for an ultimate

(21:50):
field trip.
That is a base requirement.

Eric (21:52):
First, thing, and ideally I think it should either be on a
Monday or a Friday, becauseeither way you're getting a
three day weekend of enjoyment.

Matt (22:01):
You know what I mean Like it's got to be Friday, it's got
to be for.
Oh, it's got to be Friday,because then you can build up
excitement all week.

Eric (22:08):
Oh, my God You're.
You're building up excitementall week and you're starting
your weekend with field trip.

Matt (22:14):
Like, for example, one field trip that sticks out to me
is physics day and everyphysics class in my school, in
my high school, I guess, everysemester or every year when
there was maybe physics was onlyin the spring, whatever, but

(22:36):
whenever there was physics, allthe different physics sections
all went to physics day in thesame time.
Sections all went to physicsday in the same time.
Okay, physics day is when yougo to Hershey park and you have
to fill out a bunch of exercisesand you know is it like asking
questions about like the how therides work and all of that Like

(22:58):
you're like?
you're supposed to bring like aspeedometer with you on a ride
and be like, oh, this is howfast it was going, so what is
the velocity of coming down thefinal turn?
You know that kind of stuff.

Eric (23:11):
Shout out to whoever put that together, by the way,
because the thinnest veneer ofeducation is enough to get us to
Hershey Park.

Matt (23:21):
Needless to say, my group was like cool, we're going to
fill out this sheet in 25minutes, hand it in and just be
in the park.

Eric (23:31):
That's the move, Dodds.

Matt (23:32):
We all got Cs, sure, but you know what, considering we
didn't actually answer anyquestions, I thought that was
pretty good, yeah, so that likethat, but it was all the things
we're already talking about.
It was out of, it got us out ofschool, it was on a Friday and
it was to a notable location,like it wasn't just like oh,

(23:53):
we're going to take the space oflike two or three periods to go
to, I don't know, this museumdown to I don't know this um
this museum down we're gonna,we're gonna go to like the barn
nearby and like do a petting zooor something sure like it's.

Eric (24:12):
Honestly, it's worse when you know you have to come back
to school.

Matt (24:16):
When I was in elementary school, we also had um a uh a
field trip.
It was another all-day thingwhere we took a tour of the hers
factory.
Oh, the chips, the chips makehers yours makes hers yours.

Eric (24:31):
That was fucking awesome oh, I bet that, I bet that was
cool that was cool another, uh,cool one.

Matt (24:36):
We went on, is I think we all got chips at the end nice.

Eric (24:41):
Uh, I think in middle school we got to go out on like
a skipjack on the chesapeake bayall day and we just got to like
fucking sail, the waves andlike, uh, like a, a, like an old
school skipjack that was likepowered by sail, it was dope
yeah, yeah, yeah, so we need anoh, but we're talking about
ultimate, though also the.

Matt (24:58):
So what we've discussed so far like friday, friday all day
, all day, out of school,notable location I feel like
those are all.
Oh, yeah, that's a great fieldtrip.
Yes, we need the ultimate.
Like that's the baseline.
That's where you start at great.
Okay, you've checked all theboxes for this is a great field

(25:21):
trip for a child yeah what makesit an ultimate, though.

Eric (25:25):
If I get free swag like, you know what I mean like, like
we're getting free shit like,and not just like.

Matt (25:31):
Okay, we got a bag of chips from hers, which don't get
me wrong, I'm not poo-pooingthat yeah, yeah love free bag
chips, and I think it's got tobe like something exclusive, oh
my god, like a commemorative hat, like you can only get it if
you do that tour or whatever.
Oh yeah, you know what?

Eric (25:47):
I mean they're?
They're because when it comesto free merch from field trip
there, there are twinklers andstinkers like there's there's.
There's good shit about it,like if I get like a, like a,
like a pen, fuck off no, come on, just gave me a school supply.
That's not even merch Give melike a cool gadget, like a

(26:10):
fidget, before we had words todescribe what those were yeah,
oh yeah, like a nice fidgetspinner before we knew what it
was.
Yes, a dumb hat A dumb hat,specifically a dumb hat, like a
silly hat.
You go to the zoo, you get ahat with animal ears on it.

Matt (26:25):
Yeah, I also think an ultimate experience.
It should include somethingthat perhaps, like a tour is one
thing, but like I'm thinking,like I don't know why this just
as an example if you're doinglike a tour of a Broadway
theater and you're like goingbackstage to see like oh, the

(26:45):
dressing rooms and all thisstuff, that's cool, yes, that's
fun.
I think what pushes it over theedge to ultimate is then oh,
sutton Foster walks through theroom and is like oh, hi, kids.

Eric (26:58):
Yeah, well, in college, we got that in college when we
went to go see Waiting for Godot.
And we got to meet John Goodman, who was in that production,
and he was a darling.

Matt (27:08):
We did, and Bill Irwin as well, because Towson grad John
Glover, the first Towson theatergrad, was in that show as Lucky
, and we did a little talkbackwith everybody except Nathan
Laney yeah, he's the one whodidn't join the talkback.

Eric (27:25):
Notably.

Matt (27:25):
Notably, notably.
I took that personally, mr Lane.

Eric (27:32):
Nathan staying in his lane folks.

Matt (27:35):
Nice sir, thank you Got him.
Got him, nathan Lane Got him.

Eric (27:40):
A roast 15 years in the making.

Matt (27:43):
But yeah, and I wouldn't even necessarily consider that I
don't think you can have afield trip in in college,
because if we do, I went topoland for a theater conference
and that is pretty much theultimate.

Eric (27:56):
It's a bitch and field trip and it's college I'm paying
for it.
So it's really just yeah, yeah,paying me with my own coin.
Um, for sure, for sure, yeah,uh, but ultimate field trip,
yeah, like some kind of like hey, kids you're getting, so like
like say you're going to the zoo, you're, you're getting

(28:17):
something that like some regularsnot-nosed piece of shit kid
doesn't get when he goes to thezoo.

Matt (28:22):
No, you get it because you're on a field trip from
glendale elementary school yeah,like you get to like hand feed
the penguins or something likeyou know something like that you
get to meet a snake, get to getto, get to get to chill with
some fucking lions you get to bethrown into the gorilla pen.
Oh no, wait a minute, wait aminute hold on that ended poorly

(28:47):
parachute and booty scootsdidn't prepare me for this.

Eric (28:54):
So, yeah, so like exclusively thing.
The one thing I I will saybecause because what we're
touching on is this idea of thatlittle extra something,
genesequa, something that makesan ultimate field trip for me
and I don't know if you've everexperienced this on a field trip
I'll say I've experienced theopposite of what I'm about to

(29:14):
describe is when you're on thefield trip and you're, like you
know, say there's like adesignated, like all right, kids
, we're here from like 12 to 2,we're like we're here from like
12 to two.
We're like we're here from, likewe're here from like nine to
two, 11 or whatever.
But then everyone's having sucha good time that, like the, the
, the head honcho of the fieldtrip says you know what kids,

(29:36):
I'm going to go to the fieldtrip, we're going to stay like
the rest of the day, like we're,we're going to extend our time
in this cool place becauseeveryone's having such a good
time, the sheer, the, so you getkidnapped, yes, but no,
educators, take heed.
If you ever want to win theundying loyalty of your charges,
give them field trip, give themextra field trip that they are

(30:00):
that their minds had not yet,like, considered as an option
and and also pro move, thatcould be the move.

Matt (30:08):
That could could be the move the whole time.
Which is to say, you said, likeon the permission slip, that it
was till 3 pm or whatever, butyou knew perfectly well you were
going to be there till eight.

Eric (30:22):
Yes.

Matt (30:23):
Yes, yeah, because then you can be like oh, I'm doing a
cool thing for you, yeah, I'mdoing this for you child.
I will knife someone for theteacher that does that for me.
I'll just knife someone for anyold teacher because I respect
the profession.

Eric (30:40):
I respect educators.
I'll stab a motherfucker forhim.

Matt (30:43):
I don't give a shit.
And it can be a kid.
I'll stab kid.

Eric (30:47):
You can quote me title the episode you can stab, I'll stab
a kid.
You can quote me, um uh, butbut that I have experienced the
opposite of that phenomenon,where, when I was stabs you,
little bastard, I taught youwell those karate days, yep left

(31:09):
a mark uh, uh, no, what Iexperienced in in either middle
late middle early high school.
We went to go see a localproduction of west side story,
nice, and we got there.
I knew nothing about west sidestory.
When I was like in middleschool I was like I don't know
what this is and I I hadn't yetrealized that like I wanted to

(31:32):
do theater or anything, I didn't, that didn't clock as a thing.
So like we go to see west sidestory, this musical, and I
immediately like this is amazing.
These songs are baller.
I'm fucking just like fuckingalong with them.
It's great or amazing, matt.
Apparently my dumb ass schooldidn't really clock how long a

(31:55):
full-length play was gonna be soat intermission.

Matt (31:59):
No, at intermission, not with West Side Story.

Eric (32:05):
At intermission, Matthew.
They take us to the lobby andthey explain that the way they
phrased it is.
They said the play was takingtoo long, so we all had to leave
.

Matt (32:21):
Wow.

Eric (32:21):
We left, I would have said .

Matt (32:23):
First of all, all it's a musical, it's not a play, and
second, second of all you knew,you didn't you, you didn't know,
you couldn't long west sidestory was you, you?

Eric (32:36):
it.
I was, I was deaf, I was sopissed off.
Of course I you were.

Matt (32:41):
I was so pissed.

Eric (32:42):
I was like but will he ever get with Maria?

Matt (32:46):
Yeah, man, he will Still don't know how that play ends.
Yeah, and I will not spoil itfor you.
That's my boy, I will not spoilit for you.
Have you read Romeo and Juliet?
Yeah, have you seen it?
Yeah, why no reason?

Eric (33:06):
Oh, that's weird.
Um, but yeah, west side storygreat uh, great show, uh, at
least half of it the first halfgreat, wow.
Ending ending with the quintetwow, what a choice uh and then
and then in high school I livedit on the streets of new york, I
guess it would have ended withthe rumble really is really
where the first act ends god somany cliffhangers so many

(33:29):
unfinished storylines oh, I'mstill bitter about it to this
day uh, I would be I absolutelywould be.
I I would say uh now, matt,we've talked about the what, the
how long, the what we'regetting, but let's talk about
something really critical here.
I want to know your feelings.

(33:50):
I know you're going to havefeelings about this.

Matt (33:53):
Okay, I'm intrigued.

Eric (33:55):
Matt, what's that lunch situation looking like on the
ultimate field trip?

Matt (33:59):
Okay, good like on the ultimate field trip.
Okay, good If you need to packa lunch.
It is not the ultimateexperience by any stretch of the
imagination.

Eric (34:08):
Now I will say this Typically if I was going on a
field trip I think this is justbecause my mom was like I got to
flex because I know my boy'sgoing to be around I would get a
much higher tier packed lunchthan I normally would.
Oh, sure if it's a field tripit's a special.
I get like the good snacks nice.

Matt (34:31):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Name brand instead like abaggie of uts.

Eric (34:35):
I'm getting like, yeah, I'm getting like a, like a pack
of combos, yeah, oh yeah, we'reupgrading.

Matt (34:40):
Oh yeah, I got a gogurt for sure, oh yeah, oh, I got a.

Eric (34:44):
I got a 20 ounce bottle of coca-cola oh, 20 ounces that's,
that's that's how you know it'sserious.
Not even, not even a can Inever got soda with lunch, so
like if it was a field trip.
Good day, I'm getting soda, butbut.
But that said, ultimate fieldtrip, that's a good field trip.

Matt (35:02):
Yeah, like if we're going to the zoo or whatever, like you
mentioned, we better be eatingat the food court.

Eric (35:10):
And the school's paying for it as they always should be.
Correct Schools should bepaying for lunches period.
I cannot believe it's 2025 andwe need to explain to people
that, yes, children should eatfor free at school I can't
believe we have to explain thatspoiler alert if you're going to

(35:32):
require a child to be in abuilding for eight hours every
day by law, you should probablypay for their food and they have
to arrive at the school beforemost adults go to their jobs,
anyway.
Anywho, anyway, anyway, yeah,no School pay for bitching lunch

(35:54):
and ultimately it should belike we go to a place with a
menu and they're like everyonecan get whatever you want off
the know what I mean.
Like whatever you want off themenu.

Matt (36:03):
Oh, okay, well, that, yeah , that is that, that crosses it
into the ultimate, because, likewhen we would go to that New
York trip, for example, we, weagain I don't consider it
necessarily a field trip becauseit was a Saturday, but we would
eat, like even lunch was partof the experience.
Like one year I remember wewent to Bubba Gump Shrimp Co.

(36:26):
Nice.
Before we went to the Broadwayshow.

Eric (36:29):
They got shrimp for days.

Matt (36:30):
But like there was a, there was an, there was a set
menu for the school of like.
Here are the three differentthings you can choose from.
You know, like, you have freechoice of these three things
these three things off the kidsmenu.

Eric (36:48):
See ultimate field trip.
They're like slap the menu down, point at something.

Matt (36:52):
That's what you're getting I'd pair that with the cabernet
sir.
He says to the 16 year that'swhat, that's the ultimate is the
asparagus a la carte I'll takeone of those.
Uh, why would it be a la cartesir?
The bubble gum sir, this is adenny's sir, we do not serve
asparagus there are no asparagushere then just keep the popcorn

(37:18):
shrimp flowing.

Eric (37:19):
My man, oh man, I haven't been to a bubble gump in a long
time.

Matt (37:21):
I've never eaten at the bubble gump.
Just keep the popcorn shrimpflowing.
My man, oh man.
I haven't been to a Bubba Gumpin a long time.
I've never eaten at the BubbaGump, Really.

Eric (37:27):
Yeah.

Matt (37:28):
It's worth it, at least just the one time you daft and
afraid, bubba Gump.
It's super overpriced,obviously I bet.
Obviously it's a tourist trap.
Yeah, but it's a tourist trapwith memorabilia on the walls
and Forrest Gump playing 24-7.

Eric (37:46):
Love it.

Matt (37:47):
So already it's, great.

Eric (37:49):
Could you imagine?

Matt (37:50):
Have you been to like a Planet Hollywood?

Eric (37:52):
Yes, or a Hard Rock.

Matt (37:54):
Cafe yes.

Eric (37:55):
Okay, same vibe, but just exclusively Forrest Gump.

Matt (38:00):
I would say it has the same-ish vibe as a Planet
Hollywood rather than a HardRock Cafe.
But yes, just Gump, Matt, couldyou imagine?
Oops, all Gump I mean BubbaGump is built on a joke that is
essentially oops, all shrimp.

Eric (38:16):
Come for the Bubba, stay for the Gump.
That's right, matt.
Could you imagine gettingdumped at the Bubba Gump?
Matt, could you imagine gettingdumped at the bubba gum?
Imagine?

Matt (38:26):
getting.
It's like look, I just listen,duncan.
I've been seeing othermagicians and I was running and
again I'm trying, I'm justtrying to have an adult
conversation with you and youkeep doing your Forrest Gump
impression Something bit me, I'mgoing to leave.

(38:47):
I'm going to leave.
You're going to pay for this.

Eric (38:52):
Yeah, you're going to pay for this.
Oh man, a magician, a badmagician getting broken up with
at the bubble gum.
I think that's my new.
I found my new bottom.
That's pretty rock bottom.
Yeah, yeah, that's a recipe forsuicide yeah, oh my god, the
final disappearing action.

(39:13):
I don't believe that this timewhen I'm never seen again look,
friends, we've talked about alot on today's episode.

Matt (39:23):
Sir, you can't walk through the Holland Tunnel.

Eric (39:28):
If you or a magician you know has been dumped at the
Bubba Gump you have resources,Please.

Matt (39:34):
there are resources available to you Look Call the
Bubba Gump hotline today.
Don't pick any card pick thiscard I mean, in a way, bubblegum
should have that in the firstplace of being like.
I noticed you're eating at abubblegum.

Eric (39:52):
I would I would here's a number for emergency the dude
clippy said the weirdest thingto me.
I noticed y'all writing adistressing note.

Matt (40:11):
Um that, unironically, I would would you like to add more
poetic language to make yourfinal statement really pop?

Eric (40:20):
I would 100.
A I would, I would, I wouldvolunteer for a crisis hotline,
but b I would 100 volunteer fora crisis hotline for magicians
but I don't think it's avoluntary position.

Matt (40:33):
First of all, it is a job.

Eric (40:35):
These people oh I know and they deserve to get paid.
What I'm saying is like I'dvolunteer, oh man uh but that
also.

Matt (40:44):
But, dude, not that that says too much, because, uh, I
don't know why.
Why would I be compelled tobring up the ted bundy work to
the suicide hotline?
Why would I be compelled to dothat?
And yet I've done it hi duncan.

Eric (40:57):
Yeah, my name's eric.
First off, before we start, Ijust want to ask is there
anything up your sleeve?

Matt (41:01):
yeah, yeah, okay, do you want to?

Eric (41:07):
do you want to show me what it is?

Matt (41:09):
it's a, it's an ace of spades very good, duncan.

Eric (41:14):
Very good.
Now let's talk about what elseyou're hiding.
It's the Ace of Hearts.

Matt (41:20):
Every time, duncan, you have to be more original.
We have fun.

Eric (41:26):
Don't we Jess?
So the ultimate field trip forchildren I think we've explained
it pretty good, I feel like wenailed it.
I would say any for the roads,any just for the on the way out
the door.
Last minute perks on this fieldtrip One.
Ideally I don't have to returnto school that day.

No, definitely not.

Eric (41:48):
My mom picks me up from there, if you're returning to
school.

Matt (41:52):
You are only returning to the parking lot to get into your
.

Eric (41:55):
I'm never stepping foot in that building again.

Matt (41:57):
No, you're not going back into the building.
No Again.
Cannot reiterate this enough.
You shouldn't have ever been inthe building in the first place
.

Eric (42:04):
No, no, the ultimate field trip should start, begins and
ends in the parking lot of theschool.
Correct, yes.

Matt (42:10):
Yes, you take a bus to school to get on the field trip
bus.

Eric (42:14):
By that point I'm plum tuckered, so I am.

Matt (42:23):
And the bus should be like a, like a coach bus it
shouldn't be a school bus, itshould be.

Eric (42:25):
There should be a movie that plays oh with the little
flip down screens, with a littleflip down screens for sure or
you knew a field trip was goodand they never told you like
ahead of time which, but youwere.
It was like nine times out often we got the just the standard
yellow school bus, but on theone time they're like oop, all
we had available was thisfucking greyhound when we went
to new york, we always had theuh, we always got the coach and

(42:48):
it often was yeah well, we werethe rich school, uh, the uh.

Matt (42:55):
I didn't know that at the time.
I only found that out after thefact glenn, bernie did, did not
have We'd usually get the coachbus that has the TVs like only
every couple of rows, you know,so you got to look at the
nearest one.

Eric (43:09):
Oh, oh, the scramble on that.
The initial like getting yourseats, yeah oh, bloodbath.

Matt (43:17):
So the ultimate field trip .
There you go.
Folks Nailed it.
We've laid out a lot of thingsand perhaps they can be strung
together and make criteria.

Eric (43:26):
And if you or a magician you know is struggling, please
know we are here to help.

We are here .

Eric (43:32):
Guide you to the appropriate resources, because
we are not qualified.
We are not qualified.
We are not.
We are qualified to help youpunch up your act.
That we can do.
We can, absolutely.
If you need notes on delivery,how to I don't know stick the
landing on a messed up trick gotyou.
We can help you with that wecan help you with that,

(43:55):
everything else therapy and theabundant resources available to
all of us.

Matt (44:01):
Absolutely.
Now, eric, I think it's timefor our unlikely fight.
Ding, ding ding.
This was given to us by now.
If you remember, way back inepisode three, the unlikely
fight was who would win in afight to the death between Bea
Arthur and Bob Ross?
Yep.

Eric (44:22):
And if I remember correctly, Bea Arthur came out
on top.

Matt (44:25):
I believe that is correct.
Yes, I had to think about itfor a second, but I do believe
that is correct.
This time around, we are goingto be deciding every creature in
Australia versus every Floridaman.
Now and it was suggested to usby Zach Deuce on the Discord.

(44:50):
Thank you, zach Deuce.
Every Florida man let's justtalk about this for a hot second
.
Does this include fictional menor is it only generic real life
Florida men?
Generic real life Florida men?
Okay, that's my inclination aswell.
Now, every creature inAustralia.
We know there's a wide birth ora wide breadth of animals in

(45:16):
Australia.
We know this and by the looksin your eyes and the typing
sounds, I'm going to say youjust pulled it up.

Eric (45:24):
I've pulled up the Wikipedia article donate today
animal attacks in Australia Hotdamn.
So it breaks down like the sortof the dangerous animals, by
category of land and sea OohSorry, land.
And then oceans, coasts andrivers.
And then there's an othercategory.

Matt (45:47):
Ooh, I'm going to pull up this.
Animal attacks in Australia.
That's the article you've got.
Yeah, I've got it up as well.

Eric (45:53):
So before we ponder the animals, I feel like first let's
talk about what I feel likewe're more familiar with.
Your standard issue Florida,maine.
Yes, they are going things theyhave going in their favor off
the bat, usually a lot ofnarcotics, bath salts, meth, uh,
pcp.

Matt (46:14):
so these will be in the tool belt and I think florida
man phrase, the iconography,entered the zeitgeist because of
how often it appears in aheadline of Florida man did this
.
Yeah, florida man caught doingthis, and just the way you have

(46:35):
the animal attacks up.
I just entered a Google searchfor Florida man and went to news
Nice.
And here's what we got.
Yeah, and I think immediately,sight unseen, this, this is
going to give us.
Anyone who's not somehow notfamiliar with the Florida man
concept You'll know what we'retalking about and and and and.

Eric (46:56):
A quick like heads up as to, in case anyone didn't know
why it seems like florida man issuch a florida man or so crazy.
Florida has press laws.
They cannot name someone in anarticle like in like a headline
of an article they're, they'renot allowed to to name.
That's why they just sayflorida man I didn't know that.

Matt (47:18):
I mean it's.
It's not uncommon to be like,you know.
Pennsylvania man found dead inSouth Carolina.
Anyway, florida man catches 87invasive pythons in a month,
awarded $1,000 through stateincentive system.
Florida man opens fire onbrother after watching him stab

(47:39):
his girlfriend.
Florida man charged withdefrauding Lynchburg doctor.
Florida man, 30, who wentmissing months ago, is found
dead.
It is hard to express thedepths of our sadness.
Family says that one not asfunny Florida man arrested for
assaulting deputy during CantinaLouie disturbance.
I think you.
Oh, here's one more Florida manwho tried to outwit regulators

(48:03):
and EB-5 scandal loses bid toend supervised release early.

Eric (48:09):
So I think off the bat something we can agree about
between.

Matt (48:12):
Oh wait, no sorry, One more I got to throw this one in.

Eric (48:15):
Give it to me baby.

Matt (48:16):
Florida man Fox 35 Orlando reports.
Florida man arrested afterallegedly shooting neighbor's
dog after he claims it beheadedhis goat.

Eric (48:29):
Yep.
So here, and that's the point Iwant to get to Folks, his face
is animals on the other.

Matt (48:56):
I think Florida man takes it for not, not, not the fight,
but like wins out on sheerunpredictability.
I was going to say you know thein a in any fight the element
of surprise is important, Likewith Australian creatures.

Eric (49:05):
We can, they.
They might not be.
We might not be able to predictany individual's animals
response in a situation, but wecan generally agree.
We're going to find the sharksand paralytic octopi in the
ocean and we're going to find,you know, the, the, the spiders,
literally fucking everywhere.

(49:27):
But with Florida man, you don'tknow who, what, when, where or
why.
They could strike anytime,anywhere, for any or no reason.

Matt (49:36):
They are basically the at will employment of murderous
psychopaths, but in the contextof an unlikely fight, eric, I
think we have to assume thatit's all of the creatures in
Australia versus all Florida men, now, where is the In a?
Giant Pokemon Stadium Escarina.
Okay, that was going to be myquestion.

(49:57):
I think that is the only way.
Neutral territory.

Eric (50:00):
Okay, okay, so the neutral territory, so we just okay.
So we're a Pokemon Stadiumstyle arena.
Yes, so yeah.
No, that makes sense.
It is built to withstandGyarados, so I think it could
handle Florida men andAustralian creatures.

Matt (50:18):
Now give us a couple Australian creatures that could
be making an appearance.
So right off the bat we've gotcassowaries creatures, Now give
us a couple Australian creaturesthat could be making an
appearance.

Eric (50:23):
So right off the bat, we've got cassowaries.
Right off the bat, Right offthe bat, we got cassowaries.
Cassowary looks like a crossbetween a vulture and an emu and
a turkey, I'd say yes, lookslike it's wearing a fez.
So let me hit you with this.
2007 edition of the guinnessworld records lists the

(50:45):
cassowary as the world's mostdangerous bird.
During world war ii, americanand australian troops stationed
in new guinea were warned tosteer clear of them.
These were people fighting inone of the deadliest conflicts
in human history and they weretold to stay the fuck away from
the cassowaries.
Jesus, a quote the inner orsecond of the three toes this

(51:08):
bird is three fucking toes isfitted with a long, straight,
murderous nail which can severan arm or eviscerate an abdomen.
Quote with with ease.
Wow.

Matt (51:23):
There are many records of natives being killed by this
bird, Damn cassowary.

Eric (51:30):
So recent research on hundreds of cassowary attacks
has only been able to find onehuman death.

Matt (51:38):
Oh, I am taking a look at this middle toe and holy shit.

Eric (51:41):
Oh yeah.

Matt (51:43):
We do not fuck with do not fuck around with the
cassowaries feet, my god socassowary, notable cassowary
strikes to the abdomen, okay,are among the rarest of all.

Eric (51:54):
Okay, damn, I was gonna say uh, but there is one case of
a dog that was kicked in thebelly.
So where do they typically?
So they tend to charge and theykick at the neck.
Now I will say this when itcomes to natural armor which for
this fight I feel likeeverybody's dealing with, um,
animals don't get any sort ofarmor.
And florida men, notoriouslyshirtless, they're not going to

(52:15):
be rolling up.
One must assume they are sureone in ten will be wearing like
a fucking bulletproof vest, butthat that vest is like is on is
straining just, and it is juston top of flesh.

Matt (52:30):
There is no, there is no white tank top, even there is no
, no, no there is just theflorida man's bear skin.
Now, most will, most, if notall will, have a hat of some
kind, a trucker hat, on oh, oh,for sure they.
They now see, here's okaybecause with florida, men, you

(52:52):
also are gonna have to be reallyaware of the projectiles, by
which I mean the things theywill throw at you.

Eric (52:58):
I, I I honestly think it florida's open carry, like I
honestly feel like it is safe toassume that one in every five
Florida men will probably bepacking a firearm.

Matt (53:11):
I think that is a safe assumption in Florida, so it is
a safe assumption in thisexercise as well.
But do we not that it wouldmake a difference to the Florida
men?
But do we ban firearms from thefight?

Eric (53:23):
See, that's the thing.
Even if we do, they're justgoing to scream.
Shall not be infringed.

Matt (53:29):
And they're going to smuggle it, and then we got to
deal with that.
They're going to talk about howthey're a sovereign citizen.

Eric (53:36):
Yeah, they'll round up the smaller ones, the smaller
Florida men.
Those will be gun mules, theFlorida boys.

Matt (53:41):
And they up the, the smaller ones, the smaller
florida men those will be, thosewill be gun mules.

Eric (53:42):
The florida boys and they, they will be gun mules, they'll
, they'll get the.
If there's one thing thatflorida man is known for, it is
ingenuity.
They will get those guns intothe arena.
So, but, but, we'll stillprobably be able to screen for a
few.
So why don't we say one inevery 10 will be armed with a
firearm yeah, but most are gonnacome in there.

Matt (54:01):
I don't even need a gun.
I got my own ingenuity to helpme through.

Eric (54:06):
And that is also another point in the Florida man's favor
.
They are very adaptive.
They are very capable of makinga weapon out of any item to
hand, even if it's anotherFlorida man, which turns to a
kind of a sort of disadvantagebecause you would, or a sort of

(54:27):
both sides disadvantage, becausewe're just dumping every
creature in Australia in therethey're immediately going to
start fighting each other.
But the same is also kind oftrue for the Florida men.
There will be no strongalliances here.
I feel like it's going to be inevery Florida man for Florida
himself.

Matt (54:44):
No, I forgot my Glock, so I ripped off this man's femur
and I'm going to use that as mybat.
Yeah, they will.

Eric (54:51):
The bath salt ones will will immediately begin
eviscerating oh.

Matt (54:55):
I do got some bath salt.
You want some bath salts, I gotsome.

Eric (54:58):
Yeah, they'll, they'll got so yeah, they'll, they'll,
they'll.
They'll start using otherpeople's bones their own, pass
them around for battle.
Oh yeah, they'll, they'll.

Matt (55:05):
A florida man would probably beat a gator to death
with his own severed arm or ortheir compatriots arm correct in
this case that they, that theyhave, but I think also, despite
gators being present, I believe,believe for the Australian
lineup of creatures.
Right, they got alligators.

Eric (55:25):
Oh, they got gators.

Matt (55:26):
Crocodiles.
For sure, they definitely gotcrocodiles, they got to have
crocodiles.
I mean, steve Irwin taught methat.

Eric (55:32):
Yeah.

Matt (55:33):
So, even though they have them, at least some of these
Florida men are coming in with agator on a leash.
And they yes, I'm unleashed, ohsome off leash.
The Florida men will have theadvantage against gators, for
sure against gators and they,but they will also be

(55:53):
brandishing gators they will be,oh yeah, they will be swinging
them like flails, yeah.
I got this one in the parkinglot outside.
This isn't quite a Floridaaccent.
I don't really know what to do,so I'm just doing my best.
It's working, it's working.

Eric (56:09):
Remember, gator, don't just eat your body.

Matt (56:12):
Nah, so gator eat your soul, eat your body and soul.

Eric (56:16):
So I feel, like the crocodiles that Australia is
bringing the bear might justkind of be canceled out both by
the crocs, the gators, thathonestly this is going to come
down to the classic clash ofcroc versus gator, the classic.
Who wins that fight?
I think gator takes that fight.

Matt (56:36):
Crocodiles are Florida gators, florida gators, I think
they take it Florida gators havebeen through it.

Eric (56:41):
Yeah because they haven't just dealt with nature shaping
their evolution, but Florida'sextremely lax environmental
policies.

Matt (56:50):
Those Gators are and they live amongst the Florida men.

Eric (56:55):
Yeah.

Matt (56:56):
The Florida men who go out there into the swamps for
reasons unknown go out thereinto the swamps for reasons
unknown.

Eric (57:06):
What I will say is, if it comes to this is I think this is
the overall, the, the overoverarching theme here australia
has a lot of deadly things, ohyeah, but it does, and and they
have a lot of like brawlers Iwould say, I would croc, I would
classify like your kangaroo,your, your crocodile, these are
your brawler animals.
These are animals that seek towin via brute strength or like

(57:28):
you know that kind of thing, andI think the florida men take
them.
I think the florida men areequipped to deal with them.
What I don't think the floridamen are equipped to deal with, I
think is going to be a realproblem for them are going to be
your blue ringed octopi.
Oh yeah, you're, you're, you're, you're glass cannons, if you

(57:49):
will, because they only got toget you once they only got to
nip you and then you're you'refucked for.
For anyone who has to rememberthe, the blue ring octopus,
that's the one that bites you.
There is no anti-venom for it,and it paralyzes your entire

(58:10):
fucking body and you just die.

Matt (58:12):
But that's water-based.
Really, there's going to be apool in the middle.

Eric (58:17):
If we're following Pokemon Stadium logic, there's a pool,
there's got to be some sort ofreservoir that shows up.
There's going to be here's whatwe got.
There's going to be like inclassic Pokemon, sort of safari
zone logic.
We're going to have differentbiomes of the stadium.
There's going to be a big asswater feature.
There's going to be palm trees,there's going to be like little

(58:41):
rocky cliffs and such, and andI will say this florida men are
able to thrive in all of thoseenvironments.
They live in florida exactlythey, they.
They've got biomes on biomesdown there, they so that is, the
main advantage of the floridaman is that they can adapt to
any biome.
But the austral Australiancreatures are masters of their

(59:02):
individual domains.

Matt (59:05):
I think yes, and I think they also know how to respond to
certain stimuli, to certainthreats of okay, if I see a
human person, I'm a rattlesnake,say, I'm gonna, I do the rat,
you know, I get the rattle, Iget the rattle going, and if
they get too close, bam, I getthem.
The thing is Florida men.

(59:28):
It goes back to theunpredictability, it goes back
to the element of surprise.
We can't, we will have adifficult time even coming up
with actions that the Floridaman may or may not pull off.
They're truly the X factor.
I go back to the headlines.
Okay, incompetentrepresentation argued to halt

(59:52):
execution of Florida manconvicted of killing three
people.
You know, florida man arrested,tells deputy, I guess I drunk
too much.
Body cam video shows.
You don't know what they'recapable of.

Eric (01:00:04):
No, they can.
They can truly pull the mostwild card shit.
Now I will say this Everyone'sgot a plan until they're
fighting a great white shark.
Sure, yeah, I think the sharksmight be the the carry potential
of the Australia delegation.

(01:00:25):
Speak more on that.
Florida man could deal withCrocodile.

Matt (01:00:29):
Yeah.

Eric (01:00:30):
Florida man can probably deal, kangaroo can deal,
cassowary deal it, but whenthey're fighting a great white
shark, as long as Florida manhas a strong base because
Florida man's used to fightingin the in for lack of a better
term the bayous and marshlandsof Florida they got they can
stand in that water.

(01:00:51):
They can stand in that water.
They're up to the open ocean.
But I don't know, in yourresearch do you see a lot of
Florida man headlines involvingopen oceans?
Shit?
No, I don't.

Matt (01:01:02):
I feel like that's where their weakness comes in and
Australia got them great whites,but they be boating down there
in.

Eric (01:01:09):
Florida.
They do be boating, but they belike fucking hovercraft boat.
I think they're out there onthe ocean as well, my friend oh,
I'm sure they are, I just don'tknow how like deadly they are
out there.

Matt (01:01:21):
I don't know, I haven't.
I've never been to floridamyself and these days I have to
say absolutely zero interest inappearing there.

Eric (01:01:29):
But you know, I think they'll be boating, I think
they'd be boat, I think they'dbe boat and I think they got
boats, but like they're going tohave to get in there and fight
the shark eventually, and thisis what I mean.

Matt (01:01:38):
This is where the unpredictability of the Florida
man comes into play, because thelogical thing to do would be to
fight great white white fromshark, from shark boat we have
all seen Jaws this man will jumpin there with just his friend's
femur as his only weapon and gohead on into the shark.

(01:02:01):
And you're telling medefinitively, when this
shirtless man holding a femurand wearing a bulletproof vest
jumps off the orca boat into thewaves to fight the the, the
great white, you're telling me,you can definitively say the
great white is the one who'sgoing to surface, the victor

(01:02:22):
when these two disappear beneaththe dark waves.

Eric (01:02:26):
You really feel confident, you know who's coming up, let
me I'm going to look up some thepotential allies of the sharks,
because it's not just greatwhites.
They got a lot of sharks, ofcourse not.
Uh, it's been recorded thatsince 19 1791 there have been
639 shark attacks in australia,with 190 of them but why are you
focusing on that?

Matt (01:02:45):
they got.
They got spiders the size of adisc.
That's what I'm getting likelike frisbee sized spider down.

Eric (01:02:52):
That that's where I think again.
Yeah, I.
I would say that the sharks areanother category of brawler.
They probably will beoverwhelmed by florida man.
But it's the glass cannons.
It's, it's your blue ring,doctor pie, it's your cone
shells.
Uh, the, the classic, they,they sting you.
You're fucking dead like it'slike man handled the cone and

(01:03:14):
its regular tooth pierced hishand, injecting venom.
He was unconscious by the timethe launch, returned to the
mainland and died on reachingthe hospital.
Nice, uh, you got so many thespiders, everywhere they're
literally everywhere they canget into your house.
They can get into your car likeanytime I see a post about
spiders from australia.

(01:03:35):
You know they banned an episodeof bluey in australia because
the the in that episode blueymade friends with another kid
who was like a spider oh, andthey were like we cannot teach
our children that spiders thatit is okay to approach
australian spiders.

Matt (01:03:50):
Yeah, I think that was a good call.

Eric (01:03:53):
And while deaths from spider bites aren't insanely
common in Australia, believe itor not, I feel like being bitten
by fucking millions of spidersis going to put a severe hamper
in the battle capabilities of agood portion of the Florida men.
The bath salters will press on,but a good chunk of them will

(01:04:17):
be significantly slowed by thesiders, not even mention the
snakes.

Matt (01:04:23):
You don't need to mention the snakes, they're all over the
place, they're everywhere.
There's so many variables tothis fight, eric.
It boggles the mind.
Matthew, do we feel like we canmake a call Because we have to?
We have to Because the lasttime we did an unlikely fight
we're approaching it a littledifferently.
Last time we approached it as anarrative.

Eric (01:04:43):
Yeah.
You know, we got into it, butwe can't with this.

Matt (01:04:46):
We can't with this, because I mean we'd be here for
100 episodes.

Eric (01:04:51):
Matt, here's what I think comes down to Tell me for a
hundred episodes, matt, here'swhat I think comes down to tell
me each side has a ringer, okay.
Each side has their secretweapon, okay.
What do you think that is forthe florida men?
What is?
What is the?
The rko out of nowhere that thefucking florida men pull?
And I'm gonna, I'm gonna try to, I'm gonna see if I can find

(01:05:11):
anything on the animal side thatI think.
We each think our potentialclincher, we discuss that
clincher and that's what decidesit all right, I I'm down with
that.

Matt (01:05:21):
I would say that my clincher for the, the ringer of
the florida men, would benatural born floridian carrot
top.
It's carrot top.
He is the, he is the secretweapon that will be pulled out.
He will be pulled out with hisprop comedy.
He will a gallagher-esque uhand be sweet.

(01:05:44):
You don't know what carrottop's gonna do no, he's ripped.

Eric (01:05:47):
Now he is ripped.
He's fucking jacked.
Have you seen carrot toprecently?

Matt (01:05:51):
he is.
I've seen him recently just theother day I got coffee with him
oh nice.
Yeah, I saw him the other day.
I said scott, how you doing?

Eric (01:05:59):
oh yeah, you call your first name basis yeah, oh, yeah
me me and old scott.
Yeah, yeah, we, you've beenwith him since the carrot bottom
I've been with him since hesprouted now.

Matt (01:06:10):
But but who is the ringer for australia?
I must know, matt I googledsomething.

Eric (01:06:14):
I should have googled probably right at the start of
this, because I listed, like youknow, dangerous animals,
australia, etc.
Etc.
Etc.
But I didn't look up.
What is the deadliest animal inAustralia?
Human deaths, and I think weare, as a result of this animal,
at the hands or should I sayhooves of this animal.

(01:06:38):
The deadliest animal inaustralia is horses.
Oh, australia's deadliestanimals.
I'll say it again most humandeaths caused horses.
That's extremely surprising,extremely surprising, and that
is what I think will throwflorida men off their fucking
game.

Matt (01:06:58):
You expect kangaroos, you expect sharks, you expect croc
isles, you do not fucking expecthorses if I'm a florida man and
I'm on the front line and I'mlooking around, I got my femur
in my hand andemur in one hand,swinging a crocodile in the
other, swinging a crocodile inthe other, and I look around.
I got kangaroos to the left ofme, giant spiders to the right,

(01:07:22):
right ahead of me, a group ofhorses.
I'm concentrating on the sides.
I'm not like, okay, those arejust horses, yeah.

Eric (01:07:32):
So what are these horses doing?
Let me tell you something abouthorses.
I would love it if you would.
It is, and what I'm about tosay will at first sound like a
weakness, but let me explain.
They are prey animals.
Are you sure?
They live in constant fight orflight mode?
They're scared of everything.

(01:07:52):
Fight or flight mode they're.
They're scared of everything.
But, matt, we're talking abouta pokemon stadium full of all of
the creatures in australia.
Yeah, all of the florida menshooting guns, hooting and
hollering on bath salts.
Matt, let me tell you somethingabout horses.
They are prey animals right upuntil the moment that they have

(01:08:13):
no other option and, matt, Iwould say this is firmly no
other option they are flight,flight, flight.
And then, once it's fightingtime, that's when they remember
that they weigh about 2,000pounds and can kick things to
death.
Oh yeah, so I think the horsesare just indiscriminate in there

(01:08:36):
.
They are just fucking pounded,beaten, hoofed.
They are doing everything intheir fucking power.

Matt (01:08:43):
They turn into bulls at that point.

Eric (01:08:46):
Yeah, they become murder machines.
Everybody's got a plan.
Until they get a back kick froma fucking horse, then you're
just dead.

Matt (01:08:54):
I think so.
I think that pushes australiaover the edge for me oh yeah, oh
yeah I think, I think for me.
When the dust clears, it's thehorses, baby, because the horses
being the deadliest, that'sunpredictable.
So, yeah, yes, the florida manis unpredictable, but they are
but one species.

Eric (01:09:15):
We've got a whole continent full, oh my god,
unpredictable species yeah, andeven if we adjust, like I would
assume, like even if we if yeah,yeah, yeah, I it is, it's the,
it's the unpredictability of a,of a, of what most people,
especially Florida men, wouldwrongly, I might add assume is a

(01:09:36):
very predictable animal Horse,mm-mm.
You see domestic horses, yousee farm horses, you see work
horses.
These are Australian horses,these are Australian horses.
These are horses that have hadto grow up in Australia in a
place that just wants them dead.

Matt (01:09:53):
Where things are actively always trying to kill you
Animals, climate or otherwise.

Eric (01:09:59):
Yeah, so I think much like the riders of.
Rohan the horses take it.

Matt (01:10:04):
I think that takes it, and I think it's about time to get
Lindsay in here.
Don't you think let's get thedoctor?

Eric (01:10:12):
in.
The doctor is in.

Matt (01:10:20):
Yes, that's a perfect way to jump right into this Lindsay
R Barr.
Dr Lindsay R Barr, welcome toyou.
Didn't Ask For this Welcomeback.

Dr. Lindsey R. Barr (01:10:31):
Thank you, happy to be here, as always.

Matt (01:10:34):
Now it's been a minute since we've had a lindsey's
correction corner, which is asource of anxiety for me,
because that just means there'sfertile ground for you, we could
be here for an hour.

Yeah, we better buckle up no, I told matt
a few days ago that maybe acouple of weeks ago, who knows
that.
Uh, surprisingly you all havenot been too bad nice I'll take.
I'll take it yeah it's been alittle hard, which is good.
I I have.
I have corrections going backto oops all tangents one, but

(01:11:08):
that's the earliest I have oopsall tangents.

Matt (01:11:10):
One bringing up corrections to oops all tangents
on the flagship show.
Bold of you.

Well, it will push people because they
know what they're missing.

Eric (01:11:19):
Right, If you want to catch up on what you've missed.
Please donate to our Patreontoday.
For one measly dollar a month,you get access to the discord.
For four dollars a monthdollars a month you get access
to the discord a monthly bonuscontent in the form of oops all
tangents which lindsey is aboutto uh reference, and you get 20

(01:11:41):
off of all your daft merchandisein the merch store.
If you sing it, you can't fuckit up that actually worked,
because that is the third take.

Matt (01:11:51):
Um so good job, eric, and we saved everyone from listening
to the the spiel at the end ofthe show.
So well done.
The boxes are all checked.
I do it again great.

Are you ready to be corrected?
Oh, please absolutely make megood okay, so in oops, all
tangents one, I don't rememberthe name of the episode.
I didn't put episode names down, so, okay, you'll have to do
that.
Um you are talking about?
You are talking about, um,legends of the hidden temple.
You're talking about watchingit.

(01:12:25):
You're talking about the peoplewho are in it yes, yes, all true
at six minutes 24 seconds,poach says he starts naming the
teams on Legends of the HiddenTemple and Poach says that there
are the silver snakes, there'sthe green iguanas, I think, and

(01:12:47):
you say that there are thepurple parakeets.

Eric (01:12:50):
How many teams do you think?
And the teams being the SilverSnakes, the Orange Iguanas, the
Purple Parakeets, which isAlyssa's favorite team?

Matt (01:13:01):
I gotta be honest, I don't remember any of these team
names.

Eric (01:13:04):
You are more of a, that is such a Silver Snake thing to
say.

Matt (01:13:08):
Don't fucking come at me with these insults that I don't
understand.

They obviously are not parakeets.
They are the Purple parrots, asany law-abiding 90s child knows
.
God.

Eric (01:13:20):
She complicates this even further to prove that you love
no one.

You then go on to say that it is Alyssa's
favorite team.
So you know that one.

Eric (01:13:38):
Oh, you didn't have to, but you did.

Matt (01:13:41):
You didn't have to include that.

Eric (01:13:44):
I respect it.
Thank you, I'm taking this inand I am becoming better.

Purple parrots Purple parrots,
obviously Not the purpleparakeets.

Matt (01:13:55):
Obviously Learn it.

Eric (01:13:57):
Respect it.

I've been hearing about this one.

Eric (01:14:00):
You better be.

Well, you should, frankly.
And how dare you disrespectlegends that hit and tumble like
that by?

Eric (01:14:06):
the way.
Oh, Mac, forgive me.

So that is correction number one.
Okay, Now we here at lindsey'scorrection corner the team of
researchers.

Matt (01:14:15):
Yeah, here at lindsey's correction corner.

The team of researchers at lindsey's
correction corner are a humblebunch yes it may not seem as
though we are a humble bunch,but we are, and sometimes, in
attempting to correct you, I'mincorrect.
Oh what Now?
I'm not foolish enough to sayget on a podcast and say things

(01:14:41):
incorrectly.

Matt (01:14:42):
Sure.

But because who would do that?

Matt (01:14:45):
Yeah, but Brave men.

There have been Okay, there have been
moments, there was a momentwhere I was so sure you were
wrong about something, so surethat I was like these fools.

Matt (01:15:02):
This is basic fact.
Okay, one of them again,husband, but all right, and then
?

I thought to myself am I wrong?

Matt (01:15:09):
could I be assuredly am be the problem.

Am I the problem?

Matt (01:15:13):
Is the correction me?

Do I need to be corrected?
And indeed once and only once,Everybody gets one.

Eric (01:15:22):
That has been the case, everybody gets one.

So in episode 102, at 38 minutes and
35 seconds, you all are talkingabout going to see the Statue of
Liberty.

Eric (01:15:32):
And.

Matt had been to see the Statue of
Liberty, poach had not been tosee the statue of liberty and
matt had been to see the statueof liberty, poach had not been
to see the statue of liberty.
And you go back and forth andyou're talking about is it worth
it to go see it?
And as you're talking about it,matt asks you've never been to
liberty island.
And I thought to myself thestatue of liberty is not on
liberty island.
What is liberty island?

Matt (01:15:49):
have you ever been to?

Eric (01:15:50):
the statueue of Liberty.

Matt (01:15:51):
Mm-mm Seen it Admired it, but from a distance.

Eric (01:15:54):
From afar.

Matt (01:15:56):
You haven't been on Liberty Island, no.

That's not true.
And I said the Statue ofLiberty in my brain.
This is all brain conversation.
The Statue of Liberty is onEllis Island.

Matt (01:16:05):
Oh, lindsay no.

And then I thought to myself well, that
doesn't really make any sense,does it?

Matt (01:16:12):
No, ellis Island is something totally different.
Ellis Island, yes.

Yep, so know that I wrote it down.
I have the timestamp because Ifully intended to correct you
that the Statue of Liberty wasnot on Liberty Island, which,
when you say it out loud, itmakes a little sense.

Matt (01:16:28):
It's an odd thing for you to feel was wrong.

Eric (01:16:32):
I'll be honest, but I will say lindsey, notably
demonstrating the steps that shetakes, like the, the say a
thing, reflect on the thing, dothe research come to the correct
conclusion, something that wedon't do, notably do not do.

No, don't do afraid of doing but I felt
that it because, again, we are aa humble bunch here at
Lindsay's Correction Corner itonly felt right to acknowledge
that I almost corrected you onsomething that did need to be
corrected on, and I welcome allcomments about how that is a
fifth grade civics lesson.
I understand that.
Comment your unbridled humilityis somehow more infuriating than

(01:17:11):
being corrected humility issomehow more infuriating than
being corrected in this, in thishouse, there are some moments
where I like to think I'm asmart human.
Right, I've done a couple ofthings that might indicate that
I'm a generally average or above.

Matt (01:17:23):
Goddamn right.
Multiple academic institutionshave labeled you as constantly
some might say yeah, sure forwhat it's worth.

And there are some times where I say
something and I just look atMatt and I will say frequently
I'm too smart at times to bethis dumb.

Matt (01:17:40):
That happens.
That does happen in this house.

And this would be one of those moments.
If I said to Matt out loud theStatue of Liberty is not on
Liberty Island.
Liberty Island doesn't exist,matt would be like no Lindsay.

Matt (01:17:52):
I could pull out examples, but I don't want to do that to
you well, they're so far and fewbetween you.

We'd be here all hour, we wouldn't have
the time there's one just theother day, but we will.

Matt (01:18:01):
We will press on what I say, you know you have to say
you did tell me, did you knowthat fortunate son is about the
vietnam war, and went.
I can see the look on your faceand I literally went.
Yes, I've heard the song.

And I said, I've heard the song too and it
clearly is like anti-government,but I didn't know it was
anti-Vietnam specifically.

Matt (01:18:25):
I've also seen a movie, you know.

Eric (01:18:31):
But this, all this, all Like Lindsay your brain is so
you have so much brilliance inthere.
Like something's got to go, andif it's going to be anything I
mean Liberty, Ellis Island Ifeel like that's a fair
sacrifice All right.

Thank you so much.
Thank you so much for arguingon joining my argument that I
say frequently in this house,which is I have a lot in this
brain that I have to keep trackof.
There's so much.
I have a lot in this brain thatI have to keep track of.
There's so much.
I do a lot of stuff.
I got to keep track.
I mean, I'm not saying that Ido any more than everybody else,
but you know, I have to read alot, I have to know a lot of
books, I have to do a lot ofstuff, whatever, and but what
that means is that I have nospace in this nugget passing

(01:19:09):
things.
So when we, when we watch atelevision show, when that
season has ended, I remembernothing gone.

Matt (01:19:16):
No, it gone.
It leaves her brain immediately.
It does drive me a bit crazy,but yes we.

We always have to watch when a new season
of a show comes up.
We have to watch a 30 minuterecap video on youtube of what
the first season was.
These days in the current tvecosystem where things take two
to three years to have a secondseason, that is somewhat
understandable but oh, please,please, please, please I was
gonna say, but maybe even stillmatt would be like oh, this
actor played so and so in gameof thrones and I was like you

(01:19:43):
have to know that I have no ideawho that character is, even
when we were watching game ofthrones, to be fair I'd be like
I have no idea who these peopleare oh my god, yeah, like, uh,
alissa and I have these momentsall the time.

Eric (01:19:53):
Alissa can explain to me the, so the social dynamics of,
of character, of likecontestants on like every season
of survivor, like ever like I'm.
Like she could show me that webso can I?
I know but like and at the sametime when we're watching, when
we're watching eurovision.
Uh, she didn't.
She didn't believe me when Itold her denmark was a country

(01:20:16):
so like it's gotta go.
It's it's gotta go somewhere.
It's gotta go somewhere.
It's gotta go somewhere.
I can tell you pages shethought.

Matt (01:20:24):
She thought shakespeare made up denmark.

Well, she knew it was a place she just
didn't think it was a country.

Matt (01:20:31):
You know, he invented a lot of words, he he also
invented a country or two.

Eric (01:20:36):
I can tell you the geopolitical situation across
all Middle Earth.
But, God, this podcast is atestament to my memory for
things I talked about last week.

Matt (01:20:46):
Yeah, no, it's true.
I got to help you.
I got to help you through thisworld.

I am making that Matt's going to edit all
this out.
I am making Matt watch thechallenge to the real world
challenge.
Okay, as I said to Matt, thisshow, for better or for worse,
developed my brain Like when mybrain was developing as a
teenager.
I was watching drunkardsthrowing each other into the
wall, hooking up in bathroomsand then throwing themselves off

(01:21:13):
of platforms in the name of 20grand.

Matt (01:21:16):
While I was watching the West Wing.

And so I'm making Matt watch the challenge.

Matt (01:21:22):
Yes.

And there are moments where I'm like this
is a really famous moment, matt.
So I have cataloged all ofthese moments of the challenge
and I can't remember whathappened last season on
Severance.

Matt (01:21:32):
And I do have an exciting update.
I can offer a correction toLindsay in Lindsay's correction
corner.
Matt, not going to edit thatout.
Okay, I have more.
I have two more.

Yeah, in episode 115 at eight minutes and
40 seconds.
I don't remember exactly thecontours of the conversation,
but Poach starts talking abouthow Matt has a really nice voice
for like radio, like an NPRvoice.

Matt (01:22:02):
Which he does yes, and you're going to correct this.

No, no, no, no, no, no.
Not that that would be awful,no, but Poach says that Matt has
a really good timbre of voice.

Eric (01:22:18):
You have a natural NPR timbre to your voice?

Matt (01:22:22):
Are you listening?
Npr, Are you listening?

Eric (01:22:25):
Oh, my God, matt, you would thrive on NPR.
Are you kidding me?

Now I'm sure there are people who say
you can pronounce it timber, butthat is not the accepted
pronunciation of that word.
It is timbre, timbre good toknow so, even though it's
spelled t-i-m-b-r-e, it ispronounced timbre timbre.

Eric (01:22:45):
Good.
It's one of those words, um,that I fun fact once, because
it's one of those words whichI'm sure you're both familiar
with.
You've read it your whole lifebut you've never really heard it
said in conversation.
So I once got into a into anintense argument with a girl I
was dating in high schoolbecause we were debating the,
the, the, the pronunciation ofthe word.

(01:23:07):
I'll spell it for you WIZ INED.

Wisened.

Eric (01:23:14):
Wisened, or as I pronounced it, I was wrong
wizened, wizened.

Matt (01:23:20):
Well sure, I think it might be a Mario Lario situation
in my defense, wizened is whatyou do to a dumpster at Miller
Time.

Eric (01:23:32):
Nice.

Matt (01:23:32):
Matt, thank you.

Eric (01:23:34):
But yeah, it's.
Timber is one of those wordsapparently.

I love, I love learning the actual
pronunciation of words and I'msure I'm sure there are people
who are better musicians than mewho will say like you can
pronounce a timber.
I don't know, I don't care,that's what I've been taught.
It's timbre next correction umin episode 121, recent episode
Very recent yes, Very.
This was the one that gave meenough things to do in this
correction corner.

(01:23:58):
It comes from Matt, thank God.
I knew I'd get one, so you'reabout to do Google gripes and
you're setting up the situationright.
You're sort of tied.
This is really high stakes.
Yes, you get what I'm saying so, at 47 minutes and eight
seconds, matt says that he has areal Pregunta.

Matt (01:24:22):
Ah, yeah, yeah, we even talked about this.
Off mic, eric.
Eric, we've got ourselves areal Pregunta.
Well, I do anyway, yeah.

Eric (01:24:33):
You said you have a real Pgunta well, I do anyway.

Yeah, you said you have a real pregunta.
Now I don't speak spanish, butI have read enough back of
shampoo bottles to know that theword pregunta means question
yes, it does in the context youused it in.
You suggested that preguntameant problem.

Matt (01:24:52):
It's true, it's true, it's true.
No, it does mean question, itdoes, lindsay, can I just?

Eric (01:24:59):
say now that I'm not the one being corrected.
Can I just say that is and Imean this with absolute
sincerity deeply impressive.
Just the attention to detailthat I have never given.

Matt (01:25:15):
To this show, or indeed to me, to life.
The actual word I was lookingfor, which makes this even more
embarrassing, is just problema,problema.

Eric (01:25:25):
Ah, there it is.

As I was listening to it, I was like I
don't speak Spanish.
No, it's pregunta.

Matt (01:25:33):
Tengo una pregunta, senor Ross, is something I would say
in Spanish class.

Eric (01:25:38):
All of this really begs the pregunta.

Matt (01:25:41):
And that pregunta would be puedo ir al baño?
No, mateo, sit down tail sitdown.

I was recently in mexico for a
conference and, uh, when I wasin tijuana, I was taught I was
like the big cult it's called,it's a big cultural
government-run building for thearts, it's called sekut, and um,
I was in the building and I waslike near the door with what I
was doing and so many peoplewalked up to me and like asked
me so many basic questions inspanish like where is the
bathroom?
Where is the bathroom?
Where is the water fountain?
Where is blah, blah, blah, andI couldn't help them at all.
I was like I said no hablaespanol 67 times that day.

(01:26:22):
But I do know that Preguntameans question.

Eric (01:26:25):
Hell yeah, hell yeah, and that's really what it is, that's
all that matters.
And you, because you fieldedmany a pergunta.
Yeah, I also.
I also like to imagine thatthat.
I know this wasn't the case,but I like to imagine that, all
like I'm envisioning you andlike a sea of dramaturgs and
tijuana just raging, fucking,going off the hook.

(01:26:47):
This is where you get it out.
It was nuts.

Do you want to do?
One is very cool.
Do you want?
Is very is very cool.
I was only there for the daybut then went back to San Diego.
But no, but my brain thinksvery kind of you to say that
this is impressive, poach, butmuch perhaps to match your grin.
I live my life in detail.

Eric (01:27:05):
Truly you do.
You live an entire career fieldthat is just detail, detail,
detail.

an entire career field that is just
detailed, detailed detailed I ammany things, and organized and
detail-oriented are at the top.

Eric (01:27:19):
Which are basically supernatural powers.
To me, they are at the top ofthe qualities of Lindsay Arbog.

Matt (01:27:27):
Is that the final correction?

That's it.
That's all I had.

Matt (01:27:30):
Eric, that's not too bad.

Eric (01:27:32):
Not too shabby, that's what I'm saying.
Yeah, but she found some goodnuggets of us being wrong.

Matt (01:27:39):
I mean, there could very well be some in this very
episode.
Who can say, who can say?

Only.

Matt (01:27:44):
Lindsay, only Lindsay.

In 20 episodes.
Yes, no, I think you've gottenyour unbridled bravado in check,
