Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Please saber in the den with dangerous day. Well, Happy
National Puzzle Day. Late January probably the right weather for
it right now. Don't want to go in without a strategy, though.
Here's what the experts say. Some jigsaw puzzle tips from them.
First of all, optimize your environment. Baseline is well lit,
flat surface. Multitasking is good too. See you don't get bored.

(00:23):
Throw on a TV show. I would suggest the radio
and you're good to go. Start flipping all the pieces up,
unless you're psycho who likes to do the puzzles face down.
Sort all the pieces into groups obviously, start with edges
and corners. Break it down by colors notable objects. Choose
the easiest sections first so you don't get frustrated. Stand
up from time to time and look at the puzzle

(00:43):
from a different angle. Sometimes a fresh perspective can help
you find that piece you're looking for. Make it easy
to consult the image. Set the top of the box
up so everybody working on the puzzle can see it.
Maybe take a picture and also look at it on
your phone. And then when all the easy sections are done,
it's okay to take a break. Don't force other people
to keep going. If they don't want to. Breaks are

(01:04):
important otherwise you'll get bored with it. So Happy National
Puzzle Day. Trying to still trying to figure out myself
deeper in the two. You know, regular criticism of AI
and chat GBT that occasionally will spee out nonsense, but
in fairness, smart humans do too. Somebody on social media
asked the question what common things do people say that
make zero sense? Some of the best responses and I've

(01:27):
said these two. I'm sweating like a pig. Did you
know pigs don't really sweat. I'm as healthy as a horse,
and if you have a horse, you know that doesn't jibe. Also,
I slept like a baby, and by the way, babies
are infamously awful sleepers. Does that mean you woke up
every two hours wet and hungry to unthawce something or
de thought, Well, to thaw something means to make it
not frozen. If you unthought means to make it frozen again?

(01:50):
Did you know six am in the morning. It's kind
of stupid because six am means morning. Saying something like
I did a three sixty when they change, well, that
means you turned all the way around in your facing
the same direction. If you did one eighty, that would
be the opposite. People refer to a line as being
the king of the juggle without realizing lions don't live
in jungles. And irregardless is another thing people say that

(02:13):
makes no sense. It's regardless for all intentsive purposes. It's
all intents and purposes. Money can't buy happiness, you know,
that's ridiculous. Happy as a clam. People alternately advise, don't
sweat the small stuff. Well, then they tell you it's
the little things that count. How about another flip flop
of convenience. The early bird catches the worm. Also, the

(02:34):
second mouse gets the cheese. Everything happens for a reason,
you know. Sometimes the reason is people are stupid and
the skibitti. And if you have teenagers, you know, if
you don't, well just guess they can. For another episode
of Deeper in the Den with Dangerous Dave right here,
