Speaker 1 (00:03):
What would you talk about on your on your podcast
first show? Okay, what did everybody get on their S
A T s? Remember, let's not talk about that. I have,

(00:24):
Like I've said before, I have two scores. The score
I actually got on the score I said I got right.
Really yeah, it's about yeah. Well, I'm actually very I
consider myself quite intelligent. However, when it comes to testing,
I am not. I am not a good test taker.

(00:45):
I don't know if I get nervous under pressure. Scotty B.
What did you get on your S A T. It
was below a thousand. I know that, but I don't
remember what it was. It's crazy. I think it's because
I don't think it's a good litmus test for someone's knowledge. Um.
I literally was up my class honor roll every year graduated.
Magna come loudly all of it. I got magnicoumb loud.

(01:14):
Are you serious? Magnicomb loudy? Okay, I like, do you
want to know how magna all that? But I got
a nine eight, which is a shitty score. Give you
your name, legend. That's not true. I don't think you

(01:34):
just you can't get a zero. Wait a minute, I
mean I think it's statistically impossible to get a zero
because Daniel looks at up. My SA T experience was horrible.
So I got like near I like almost failed the test.
And it was weird because I took many classes. I was,
I was a decent student. They found out that I

(01:57):
got one question I didn't fill out in the bubbles,
and I put the rest of them down, So I
was one question off, Garrett. So they went back and
they had and I got like eleven something. By the way,
you know it's gonna be all electronic now, no more
bubbles than another year or two. I'm going to use
that number two pencils. Yes, then you're depending on where

(02:17):
you look. Some places say four hundred points, some places
say six hundred. This one says the minimum score on
the s A T is six hundred. You get six
hundred points for just filling in your name when you're
taking point of giving these dumb bonus points for reason
seriously make you feel good. I guess, oh my god, okay, well,

(02:41):
uh gandhi, you want to give your score? Yeah. So
I took the s A T twice and the first
time I got a thirteen twenty and the second time
I got a fourteen fifty. Look at you. I mean
I didn't even apply to those schools because I wasn't
doing super well on other things. But I think that
standardized testing is kind of crappy. I mean, you've seen

(03:01):
all the means where it's like, if you tell a
fish to climb a tree, how is it going to do?
Probably not so well. And that doesn't mean a fish
can't do the things as opposed to your fake high
score is my my fake high score is your real
high score. I feel like I knew we were on
the same level, you know. I think the reason I
scored so low, though, is the night before I took

(03:21):
the test, I had chili and so the next morning,
I'm not kidding this, so and I didn't. You can
take it again, right I did? I did? This is
the second time. I gotta hear why it's so. I
didn't have the runs, but my stomach was so loud,
like the entire room where I was taking the test
could just hear. And I'm convinced everybody got like three

(03:44):
h points lower because my stomach was the entire time.
So I apologize to anybody I was in that room.
What's the most you can it used to be, it's not,
it's something else. Now. I think they up to twenty four,
but now I think it's back to sixteen. It says here,
if you just fill in your name, you're not going
to get the six hundred points though, because it says

(04:05):
that they're going to take it as you not giving
any answers and they're gonna cancel your score totally. So
what is the perfect score? They're completely revamping it. Yea,
but right now the question is sixte dred. What's it
gonna go up to, Scottie. I don't know if it's
gonna change. That's gonna change, but it's gonna be all
electronic and they're shortening their shortening it and they're getting

(04:26):
rid of the essay or something like that. And take it. Now,
did Spencer take yet? Spencer took like the p s
A take that. I think he's a senior next year.
What do you take it? Is the senior year next
years as a junior? Yeah, he did p s A.
T is a sophomore as well, because they they offered

(04:47):
it and so we said just go and see. So
I don't remember everyone should do that. You should definitely
take the pretest because it gives you a really good
idea of how it's going to work. And then they
have the books that you can prep for. I mean
people kind of blow it off, like whatever, I'll just
roll the No, you should prepare for it because I was.
I was a radio geek. I didn't give a ship.
I didn't care. I didn't prepare for it. I didn't
take any courses. I went in there with a pencil
and didn't care, and I got what I got. I

(05:09):
knew I wasn't going to college anyway, so I didn't care.
What did you get? Eight hundreds something so to something. Yeah.
One of my best friends I think I only told
you guys this, but she took the s A T
and she forgot her calculator, so she did terribly. So
the second time she had her calculator, and she did worse.

(05:31):
I've had friends who took the course and did work
after the course, like, how was that? That was the worst? Yeah,
And then we had to take the test on a
freaking Saturday morning, so you could take a calculator. Not
when I took it. I don't think they had calculators
when you took it. They didn't. You had advocacy had
an advocate. They only had the number one pencil. Back

(05:51):
then we had calculators either. Okay, so the scores out.
Does anybody actually know their i Q? I don't know.
Mind there is an i Q test, and I'm convinced
my parents know my i Q, but don't tell Like,
won't tell me because you're too smart? No. I just
feel like that's something. Shouldn't they test your i Q?

(06:13):
Like how did Forrest Gump get his tested in that movie? Like?
What does i Q stand for? Intelligence? Quote? Don't you
get a test it when you're really you're probably not
going to do well on that, you get it. It's
when you're young, really young. I feel like, yeah, I
feel like when you're like, do you know your kids
i Q? No idea? How doesn't your brain changes you
grow if it didn't. When when guys go into the NFL,

(06:36):
they take what's called the Wonderlick test. You can tell
you can take a sample Wonderlick test online. Now they
say the lowest score ever on the Wonderlick test was
Frank Gore. He went to UM and he ended up
playing for the San Francisco forty Niners and had a
phenomenal career, but was not didn't score very well on
the Wonderlick test. But they say it's usually for quarterbacks
because they want to know how smart they are. But

(06:57):
then some guys don't do that well the wonder Lick. Yeah,
w O N D E R L I L L.
Do they give them that test again after they've had
fifteen concussions? Right? No, probably test at that point. I
don't get the point of the i Q test because, like,
aside from maybe getting into mensa, which like, what does

(07:18):
that do for you in your life? What does it?
Doesn't do anything? You walk around like a pretentious asshole
or with a queue of If mine were really high,
I wouldn't even tell people that because I think then
they expect something from you that I don't want to give.
And probably was it like that, was it Maryland vos
Savant or something? I guess she had the highest i
Q and the only thing, Yeah, the only reason I

(07:39):
know her is because in Parade magazine they had asked
Maryland and it would be these weird theoretical questions. I
used to read that, Yeah, and I feel smart for
like five seconds and they're like, I love Parade, Do
they still have Parade May Love Parade magazine comes in
the Sunday paper with the coupons. That's right. But I'm

(07:59):
sure that I'm sure MENSA people are like scientists and
you know authors. But outside of that, what jeopardy? What
else can you accomplish a better job than mensa? But
I just don't think that it does anything to take
you anywhere. It's like carrying around your National Honor Society cars.
I mean, if you get into it before college, then

(08:20):
would it must help you get I like some privileges,
like some food discounts at restaurants and something hotel for
triple I am, you're going to get a hotel. So
here's here's a practice wonderlick test question. It says, there

(08:41):
are four times as many used cars in the car
dealership as there are new cars. There are a hundred
and twenty total cars. How many new cars are in
the dealership? Lot? I gave it right. See that's the
thing he said, it's they lose me. Well the only
word it's twenty Well, there's four answers. I don't think

(09:04):
are twenty seven. I don't know you, so hang on,
you're asking as a question you don't know the answer
to the four options. You gotta take the test. You
watch the way. What was the problem again? How did
you hear what I did? Here? Example, there are four
times as many used cars in the car dealership a

(09:26):
lot as there are new cars. There are a hundred
and twenty total cars on the lot. How many new
cars are in the lot. It's four times as many
other five new And Jeff Engineers says twenty six. He's smart. Okay,
so the six isn't twenty six is an answer? Let

(09:46):
me see if it gives you the answer. It doesn't
give you the answer right away? What are the choices from?
Already moved on? It took Jeff's answers. He's probably smarter
than all the way to the way to approach solving
that is, take all four of the possible answers, and
Jeff's playing there. But he got it wrong. But I
would still like to hear how he got What is
your formula? What's your formula? If there was a hundred

(10:07):
and thirty cars, it would be twenty six, because twenty
six times four is a hundred four plus twenty four
is a hundred and thirty or twenty six d and thirty.
So maybe the questions wrong. There's really drs not now,
there's not a hundred thirty cars in the hold on,
here's another. Hang on, here's another one. Our race card

(10:30):
trondles a hundred feet in point five seconds. Okay, our
race car travels a hundred feet in point five seconds
at this rate of speed? How many feet will the
race car travel in a minute? Who carest No, it's
gonna be a hundred twenty. Shut up, I've got this

(10:51):
smart twelve the firm number. That's even one of the
answers that twelve thousand. Okay, okay, so that's one. Okay here,
I'll do one more because we're running out open we
don't get the answer. I guess I'm the smartest person thing. Okay,
us saw the cars? Is okay? Refuted? Irrefutable? Do these
words have contradicting meanings, have similar meanings or mean neither

(11:12):
the same nor the opposite the opposite. They're contradicted, they're contradicting, contradictory.
I'm not going to get to the end here. I
don't I don't know. But anyways, this is the Wonderling test. Though,
this is the wonder that the test they're giving athletes
to go into the NFL. Okay, I think if all
of us didn't have scary working the problem out out loud,
we get them. What month is five months after March,

(11:48):
after August? Yeah, because it's after my third month to
the eighth month. Alright, cow is to milk as orange
is to shoo shoose. Rearrange, there's only a minute. Lets
you take the test. Rearrange the words to form a
complete sentence. Is it true or false? A leg has

(12:11):
eight spider? Spire has eight legs? True or false? It's true? No? No, wait,
well how to put a false? Looking at this, A
legs has eight spider? Rearrange the words forces eight legs? Okay, true,
spider has eight legs? Okay, a spider has a leg?

(12:32):
Is this testing dyslexia? What's going on? You put it together, Danielle?
If it is it true or false? Okay? Last one frog?
We gotta go. A store buys a pack of gum
for thirty three cents per pack from their supplier. Okay,
how much would twelve packs cost? Times twelve? Yeah, okay,

(12:56):
that's an option. There's only three. All right, we're letting
get all the answers in fifty seconds. Here, hold on,
let me just go to the end, and cy I
got him in one second. Let me just skip to
the end. There's twenty five questions. Let me just skip
by the way. The car sitting, I'm still on that
four times one, two three. I wasn't trying to say anything, Danielle,

(13:20):
I was giving gone to credit. The first one was hanging.
The first one was twenty four, so we got twenty
six was wrong? Is Brody was right at twelve thousand?
On the second with the car travels irrefutable and irrefutable,
we got right. There's contradicting. And then what month is

(13:40):
five months after March? We got right? It was August.
Juice was right for cows to milk rearrange the words
was true, that's right, and three six is right on
the gum. Alright, perfect quarterback. Thank you everybody. We'll do
another test tomorrow. The fifteen minute Morning Show
