SPEAKER_10Welcome to Buffalo Buffalo, the only podcast where we play the theme song 1.8 times.
SPEAKER_04And Jerry just banged his microphone.
SPEAKER_10I'm sorry. Stop having sex with the microphone. At least turn off your camera if you're gonna do it, man. Right. Oh, and with that, we are off with another episode of Buffalo Buffalo. I am Jeff, your game master, and I am joined here by three people who are here yet again.

SPEAKER_07Very nice. That's very nice. Like nice cool.
SPEAKER_04Yeah.
SPEAKER_07Yeah.
SPEAKER_04Yeah. It's really uh not like that usually, but because it's 11 p.m.
SPEAKER_07here right now and it's 72.
SPEAKER_04So oh wow.
SPEAKER_07That's not bad, honestly. It's not bad. Honestly, it's it's it's not bad.
SPEAKER_10I I would take it. I mean, I know it's still early April or mid-April now. Um, but you know, once it gets to the summer, it's like as long as it gets below 75 by, you know, nine o'clock, I'm okay. I'm still not happy, but I'm okay.
SPEAKER_09I was gonna say, would anybody like to take a guess what time I woke up this morning?
SPEAKER_015 30. 5 o'clock, 4 30.
SPEAKER_074 30.
SPEAKER_01No.
SPEAKER_074 15. 4 4. 4.
SPEAKER_09Jerry 4.
SPEAKER_04I don't know how to help you with this.
SPEAKER_09I well no, I got up, it was like I woke, I was up for like 15 minutes, and I was like, what the hell is my body doing to me? And I went back to sleep.
SPEAKER_10Good.
SPEAKER_09And and woke up half an hour later and was up for good.
SPEAKER_07You know what I was doing at 4 a.m. this morning?
SPEAKER_09Going to sleep?
SPEAKER_07Playing a video game.
SPEAKER_10Yeah.
unknownYeah.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_10Yeah. Yeah. So I usually I often wake up at four in the morning, but then I go back to sleep like a normal person.
SPEAKER_04I roll over and just go to sleep. Go back to sleep. It's not time. Yeah.
SPEAKER_09Yeah. I was on a little bit with uh Levi for about an hour or so yesterday, and then it was Jerry, then it became Jerry o'clock, and then I had to go to sleep.
SPEAKER_10Levi started uh streaming, I think, during last week when we were recording, and they're still streaming. Yeah. Still going that same session. Just been going for an entire week. It's impressive.
SPEAKER_04The day that we're recording this, I believe it's National Burt Gummer Day.
SPEAKER_02Uh-huh.
SPEAKER_10Oh, that's right. Yeah. No, that was yesterday, was Burt Gummer Day. Or yesterday, yeah.
SPEAKER_04Yesterday was Burt Gummer Day. I know that, you know, it's it's a really big week, so there's lots of celebrations.
SPEAKER_09We might make it Burt Gummer Week.
SPEAKER_04I mean, honestly, Burt Gummer deserves a whole week devoted to him.
SPEAKER_10I agree. That he does. Yes. Mm-hmm. Well, that's good. Mm-hmm. Alright. Uh, who's wrong with the book? Jeff's had enough.
SPEAKER_02He's alright.
SPEAKER_03He's had enough.
SPEAKER_07Okay, I'm done now. I told you guys before we were recording, but I'm gonna go ahead and just put it out. People know that we are all, except for Jerry, we try and try and try to get him fully on board. But other than that, all very strong dropout devotees. So I will say that as again as we're recording this, a couple of days ago this week, I was lucky enough to see off book the improvised musical, which is dropouts, Zach Reno and Jess McKenna making up a musical on stage as they go in person, and it was absolutely incredible. So I'm just gonna make that uh recommendation that follow and look into that, and if they are ever in your area, immediately buy a ticket and go and enjoy that because it is an incredible time. Pure magic. Just gonna put that out there because that was awesome.
SPEAKER_10Very jealous of you. Very jealous of you.
SPEAKER_04Me too.
SPEAKER_01We live vicariously through Pakes adventures.
SPEAKER_10San Francisco had their sketch fest, uh, I think back in January or February, which is like a full month's worth of different comedians coming in. And I had forgotten that it was at that time until like somebody was talking about it, and then I looked up and it's like, oh, yeah, everything is sold out or has already happened and all of that. Like uh Ross Bryant and the improvised Shakespeare. I want to see that so bad too. Oh my god. Yeah. Um, and um I'm trying to think of who else who else was out, but whatever. I a whole whole bunch of besides you know, drop out just a whole bunch of fantastic comedians and um sketch comic comedy troops and that kind of thing. And I didn't get a chance to go to see anything. So yeah.
SPEAKER_09When you said sketchfest, I thought it was just a bunch of people drawing pictures.
SPEAKER_07Or a bunch of people in in trench coats that were just real suspicious to talk to.
unknownYeah.
SPEAKER_09Not sketchy fest.
SPEAKER_04My friend Elliot, who Peak has actually met him because when he came for the one of the meetups, um, Peike came to Trivia. We've talked about this before. Elliot used to do improv, and I went to see him in a couple of his shows because they had a bunch of like fringe festivals around. And uh I'll never forget it because Elliot what they gave him for a prompt, his the person he was playing is someone who's late to work, and I could not stop laughing because Elliot was perpetually late to work because we work at the same place, and I was also late-ish to work, and so we were often coming in together at like 9 15. And so I thought it was kind of uh telling that he Yeah, it was appropriate that he got to play someone he can relate to on a daily basis.
SPEAKER_10I used to do improv back when I was uh teenager, young adult. I used to do some. Yeah, I was I was one of the only ones in the group that could actually kind of pull off Shakespearean improv uh to a certain extent. But like, yeah, I mean, uh the improvised Shakespeare troupe puts me to shame, obviously. Yeah.
SPEAKER_04Well you kind of do improv every week on this podcast. No.
SPEAKER_10I everything I'm saying is scripted.
SPEAKER_07I I thought I made sure I sent the scripts to everybody. You sent them to me.
SPEAKER_04I I I don't need a script. I got them.
SPEAKER_07Yeah. Yeah. Stephanie, you've just been winging it the whole time.
SPEAKER_10How is it in about three minutes? Jerry's gonna pass out and smack his microphone.
SPEAKER_02So make sure you know.
SPEAKER_07Don't miss your cue. Yeah. Because it's it's I I made sure I sent it what highlighted at the bottom of the page on that one, just to make sure.
SPEAKER_04You'll laugh if in three minutes one of you says something that makes him pass out. Because it it very well could happen.
SPEAKER_09It probably will. No, hang on, hang on. Yeah, let's see. I I got one of Pake's notes here. Yeah. This is the script. This is the script for every show. This is the header.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_07Well, yeah, we have to make sure we start on the right page.
SPEAKER_10Yes. Right, absolutely.
SPEAKER_07Which is usually page one. No, not 11, Daphne. Not 11, Daphne. One.
SPEAKER_04Uh no.
SPEAKER_07Uh yeah, no. Yeah, no. Which is weird that she's just been winging it because like she is sticking to the script. What the words I wrote for her is what she said. So that's amazing. It's a little scary. And it is amazing that you're able to do that. That is incredibly.
SPEAKER_04I am incredibly talented. You guys just never realized how talented. Oh, she did miss that one.
SPEAKER_07I wrote in the script, I mean incredibly German, and she missed that one.
SPEAKER_06And right on cue, there goes Jerry.
SPEAKER_09No, I didn't pass that. Like, not quite.
SPEAKER_04Oh man. I had a comeback for that pake, but I wasn't.
SPEAKER_07But you know what? Your your take on that line was actually way better because when I look at it, that doesn't make a lot of sense. Honestly, yeah.
SPEAKER_04Well, I mean, you said that I I was supposed to say that I'm incredibly German, but honestly, I'm incredibly Canadian.
SPEAKER_07Absolutely. It's true. Clearly Canadian.
SPEAKER_04I didn't want I wasn't gonna like say anything about it right now.
SPEAKER_02Someday. Yes. Wow.
SPEAKER_04Jerry, are you still with us? Can we continue on with this episode?
SPEAKER_09That's fine. I'm just I forgot. I forgot to open this bottle of water before we started.
SPEAKER_04It's okay. Bang your microphone a couple of times.
SPEAKER_10Right up against the microphone. We want to hear this journey.
SPEAKER_04Which we know Jerry loves.
SPEAKER_10Jerry loves ASMR. You know, I He did it?
SPEAKER_03Last thing. Did you bang the microphone? I did not bang the microphone!
SPEAKER_07I did not have sexual relations with that microphone.
SPEAKER_10Oh, nothing like uh a reference from 1992.
SPEAKER_04Wait a minute. Peg, I don't even know if that was said before you like were you even bored that you I was still paying attention.
SPEAKER_01It was an infant.
SPEAKER_09I think that was a 1998 reference.
SPEAKER_07Yeah, it was. Okay, so I was on the ball for sure. I knew it was going to be. That would have been way too long to be there. Probably would have been kicked out. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01At that point, like teeth.
unknownYeah.
SPEAKER_10Usually the mom kicks you out. Yeah.
SPEAKER_09No, but what I was gonna say about the ASMR thing is that I'll be flipping through like uh the YouTube shorts or like Facebook reels or whatever, and there'll be a cooking video, and they'll do the ugliest ASMR sounds. I damn near want like I watch it like with the volume really low. And it's like if someone's talking and it's subtitled, I'll just read it. Yeah. But it I but it's like I just want to throw the phone sometimes.
SPEAKER_04Are you the ASMR police?
SPEAKER_09No.
SPEAKER_04I I'm starting to believe you are. I think you've got a jacket that says it on the back.
SPEAKER_10No, I can't do a thing where police he's not doing any he's not doing.
SPEAKER_09I'm not doing a very job very well.
SPEAKER_10No.
SPEAKER_04No.
SPEAKER_09Especially those guys that do like they add the crunch when they bite something, and it it's like a soft burrito.
SPEAKER_01And that's like Gary, could you explain that's just crunching?
SPEAKER_07There's something wrong with your burrito. There is somebody that I watch every video they put out, and they do add the sound effect to any bite they take on anything. But I I think it it feels more like a just kind of comedic thing than in anything.
SPEAKER_09So it might seem comedic, but it's also annoying.
SPEAKER_04It's you know, they add um so on Facebook Reels, they show these vertical films which suck you in and you want to see how it ends anyway. However, they add these like drop like water droplet sound effects at very odd times, and I never have understood what the hell they're doing that for. But there's that, and then there's just lots of random sound effects at times. I'm like, I don't need this sound effect to realize the importance of what's happening on the screen.
SPEAKER_07No, you clearly do. Yeah, nothing makes me skip a reel or TikTok or something faster than the canned wheeze laughter in the background that's not part of the video.
SPEAKER_00Oh goodbye.
SPEAKER_07Yeah, no.
SPEAKER_09Yeah, I've ne I like on especially I don't like being I saw it on TikTok guy, but whenever it's a like a TikTok thing and that happens, instablock.
SPEAKER_07It's like or the AI voices I'm getting very sick of.
SPEAKER_01Oh my god, they're everywhere.
SPEAKER_04Those are in now verticals, like vertical series. And I'm like, no, I saw that one, and it was real people in it, and now you've redone it with AI. Um why? It's much better with actors, not AI. Like, we don't need this.
SPEAKER_09And and I'll tell you, and I'll and I'll stop my complaining with this one. Stop with it. No. Stop my complaining.
SPEAKER_07Stop complaining?
SPEAKER_04And I'm sorry. Jerry has passed out once again.
SPEAKER_09This is No, no, I didn't pass out. I was just on that one, but just briefly sleeping. Okay. But you'll have the vertical video, and I see this on YouTube more than any place, is that they'll have some like text above above a person just staring into the camera. Oh god.
SPEAKER_07Oh, just and then what makes it even worse is if then that person just silently points to the text. Like, you're not needed here. Go away.
SPEAKER_10Oh my god. Yes. All right. All right, but I'm done. Randomly. Yeah. We're all just we're all just four old people yelling at clouds. Really?
SPEAKER_07No. Kids these days and their technologies and their TikToks. You know, and they're face space and their Instagrams and space chats, and I don't know.
SPEAKER_08But uh, I was gonna say the so you got this.
SPEAKER_07You can get through it, Jerry. Come on. We are so excited to hear what you have to say, Jerry. I need to I need to know this one.
SPEAKER_10It's important that we hear this. You got it. Come on, Jerry, you got this.
SPEAKER_09No. Or it's the you know, like the the really uh the like the dumb um uh like the fake uh cop doing you know, like the fake cop doing a fake crime thing, and they say it's they say it's uh they have a like a it almost seems staged, it's like, yeah, but I'm actually, you know, like the they try and stop a person who's like, well, I'm actually the judge of this county, and then all they do is like voiceover. They don't say, you know, they don't have all the video or anything, uh uh, you know, no body cameras, no nothing, yeah. Just that, and and that's all you see. I'm sorry, I knew I said complaint over, but now complaint over.
SPEAKER_06Well, that's a new complaint, it's a different complaint.
SPEAKER_10It's fine.
SPEAKER_09Okay, yeah.
SPEAKER_07Hey, wait, I've got a new complaint. Oh. Right.
SPEAKER_10All right, should we move on to a game? Would that be okay with everyone? Uh yes.
SPEAKER_04Yes, Jeff.
SPEAKER_07I suppose.
unknownAll right.
SPEAKER_04Let's play a game.
SPEAKER_10Okay. Shall we play a game? Uh I don't have a great name for this one. Uh, we could call it a Gerald murder.
SPEAKER_04Gerald is a mouse name from a pink Florida.
SPEAKER_10Yes, absolutely. Yes. Uh that was the first thing I thought of, too. I've got a mouse and he hasn't got a house. I don't know why I call him Gerald. Gerald.
SPEAKER_04He's getting rather old, but he's a good mouse.
SPEAKER_10Yes. And we'll stop reciting lyrics there before Roger Waters comes after us.
SPEAKER_09Yeah. But isn't reciting lyrics just fine?
SPEAKER_10I don't know.
SPEAKER_07I think so. As long as there's no actual tune attached to it, you're good. Or if you do it to the wrong tune.
SPEAKER_10Uh we could call this game attempted murder.
SPEAKER_04Is it about crows?
SPEAKER_10It is, sort of. Uh, it's about collective nouns. I love this. Okay, can we have crows?
SPEAKER_04Can we just give the win to Jerry and save us all the pain and suffering?
SPEAKER_10We can't. And I tried to kind of figure out, I was trying to work with this one because there's a handful of very common ones. There's a handful of ones that people who are interested in this subject know. And then there's hundreds of other ones. And I was trying to figure out the best way to do this, and I realized that uh, well, I'm getting ahead of myself, but um so I will give you the animal name and I will ask you to come up with the collective noun. Now, for example, you know, simple ones like school of fish or that kind of thing. Um but what I will say is that if nobody gets it, because there's plenty here that are like probably nobody's gonna get, if nobody gets it, I will give it to the one, I will give a point to the one who has the best answer.
SPEAKER_07Oh good. I have a chance then because most of my answers are going to be joke answers.
SPEAKER_10So it may be funniest or cleverest or you know, most, you know, because a lot of these, like a murder of crows, for example, it doesn't really make any sense. It's not a joke about crows or anything, but it has a nice ring to it. It's got a poetic sense. So something that kind of feels like it could work, you know, something that sounds good. Like I, you know what, let's let's try and make that its own thing. Um, so I I will give points for that if nobody gets the actual answer. Um, and I am just gonna kind of choose randomly from my list here. I'm not gonna do any kind of random number generator or anything like that because I didn't fully curate this.
SPEAKER_04Wonderful Jeff.
SPEAKER_07No RNG. However, Daphne does pick 11.
SPEAKER_10Right. We will start with number 11. Perfect. Uh you know what? Actually, we will start with number 11. It's a good it's a good one. Um so you use your whiteboards to write down your answers and then reveal. Uh, what is a group of cats called? Now there are a couple of different answers for a lot of these. Um there's one in particular that I'm looking for, however, I will probably give points for other answers if they are um generally accepted. Standard terms.
SPEAKER_07I feel like unless I immediately know it, I'm not even trying. I'm just immediately going to joke again.
SPEAKER_10Absolutely. No, it's the right way to do it. Um alright. If everybody's ready, please reveal your answers. Jerry says Clowder, Daphne says Clowder, and Fake says a gelical of cats, which I absolutely love. Uh Clowder is the correct answer.
SPEAKER_07I have heard that before.
SPEAKER_10Yep. Angelical Agelical of Cats. That is a fantastic one.
SPEAKER_04That is. I feel like it could be an uh title of the episode if we don't come up with anything better.
SPEAKER_10Let's hope we come up with something better then. Yeah.
SPEAKER_04Okay.
SPEAKER_10Okay, let's see. Um one of My absolute favorite ones. And I will say, to give a little background on these words, most of them, or a large number of them, come from a book from the 15th century called The Book of St. Albans. Um, where they were kind of put together, and most of them have to do with hunting or birding. Um, and so there's a lot of birds and game and that kind of thing, and less um there's a lot fewer for animals that are not commonly found in England. Basically. Um, there's plenty that have been coined or whatever in the century since. But yeah, most of these are going to be uh birds and wild game and that kind of thing. So what is a group of starlings called? This is one of my absolute favorite ones. I got a fantastic look from Daphne of like, what the hell am I how am I supposed to possibly know that? Which is why I am giving points for cleverness or uh just good answers as well.
SPEAKER_09I my brain. I have it in there somewhere.
SPEAKER_10I just I figured you would when you when you said that you loved these nouns.
SPEAKER_09I was like, this is one that's I do, but it's uh Yeah But I've got a lot a lot more of uh more than nouns swimming around my brain meat at the moment. Like sleep. Plus I'm I'm up I'm on uh like hour thirteen of being awake, so that is your own fault.
SPEAKER_10Mm-hmm.
SPEAKER_09No, actually no, not hour 13, hour 16. See, they can't even do freaking math.
SPEAKER_10That's when you know there's a problem. Yeah. When Jerry can't math, something is very, very wrong. Yeah, when the civil engineer cannot math. Yeah. Alright. Daphne, you ready? Yep. Okay, please reveal your answers. Jerry says coven. Daphne says flock, and Pake says entourage. The correct answer is a murmuration.
SPEAKER_07I murmuration. I almost wrote that, but I thought that was just a thing all birds do. It was like a specific thing.
SPEAKER_09It's it uh Yeah, the way that they all description like the description of the Yeah, but I didn't know that was a like grouping of specific animals.
SPEAKER_07I thought all birds can have murmurations.
SPEAKER_09No, not not like starlings.
SPEAKER_04I should have put conglomeration, that would have been more fun.
SPEAKER_07I almost wrote I almost wrote murmuration, or at least murmur. I was like, well, I because in my brain, I like, well, starlings form a murmuration, so maybe they're a murmur. But I didn't know that was the name of a group of starlings. I was like, I was a thing that birds did.
SPEAKER_09Yeah. Yep. It's a fun word. Now, Fresno has the distinction of having the largest estimated flock of or murmuration of starlings ever.
SPEAKER_10That's amazing. We get them sometimes black out the sky.
SPEAKER_09Oh, yeah.
SPEAKER_10Yeah, it's it's insane how how many of them there'll be. Uh that point this round is going to take for an entourage of starlings. Yay. I do like that one. Especially because it plays off of stars and entourage, which is probably where he's going with it. Yeah. Um, okay, what about rhinos? Rhinoceroses. Rhinoceri, if you will.
SPEAKER_04Oh.
SPEAKER_10I'm going mostly with ones that I just really like the terms for them. Alrighty. Daphne's finishing up her answer. Looks like she's drawing something or making a cloud around it or something. Something fancy like that. Might get her some points. Um. Okay, please reveal your answers. Pake says a rhompus of rhinos. Carrie says a conglomerate of rhinos, and Daphne with the correct answer, a crash of rhinos. Love that man.
SPEAKER_04Sometimes it's come up before.
SPEAKER_10Yeah. Yeah.
SPEAKER_04I'm lucky when that happens. Not that often. This is wild.
SPEAKER_10Another one of my favorites, another bird. What is a group of ravens called? Daphne either knows this immediately or knows that she knows this. And is trying to remember.
SPEAKER_04I think.
SPEAKER_10Alright. Jerry, are you prepared or are you still thinking? Jerry is trying to extract it from his brain meats. Are you ready? Yes. Okay, please reveal your answers. Pake says a nevermore of Baltimore Ravens. Uh Jerry says a killing, and Daphne with the answer, an unkindness of ravens.
SPEAKER_07So were the ravens first, and it was like they're an unkindness, and the crows were like, they're already too similar to us. We gotta take it a step further.
SPEAKER_01I think so.
SPEAKER_07A slaughtering of vultures.
SPEAKER_10Okay. How about this one? I'm I have been wondering if Daphne knows this one. What is a group of ferrets called?
SPEAKER_07Of course she knows that one.
SPEAKER_04I do know that.
SPEAKER_07I usually know it, but it's this whole time since you said what this game was, I was I've been racking my brain going, oh, what the fuck was the ferret one? Because that's always fun. But then I was like, well, he's not gonna do it because Daphne knows it. And then now you did it. Yes, I did.
SPEAKER_04Um But I d I no longer have a business of ferrets. I only have one now.
SPEAKER_07Okay, thanks for the answer, Daphne.
SPEAKER_04Oh fuck!
SPEAKER_03So we just give it to the study So I have my answer.
SPEAKER_07I don't know if the others are ready, but I'm ready. I have my answer. I thought really hard about it and it came to me somehow.
SPEAKER_03Oh, Daphne, that is amazing.
SPEAKER_10Okay, if everybody's ready, please.
SPEAKER_04Put it in.
SPEAKER_10We we're so smart, we all got it. Everybody got that. A business of carrots. That is amazing. I am so proud of everybody for getting that one.
SPEAKER_04We're all really proud of me for knowing it and sharing it with.
SPEAKER_07Clearly, too.
SPEAKER_04Because I told you what it was.
SPEAKER_10Oh my god.
SPEAKER_04I was so focused on I no longer have it anymore because I only have one. I should never have said what it was.
SPEAKER_10No, you shouldn't have.
SPEAKER_04Can we remember what time it is here where I live? When we're recording this.
SPEAKER_10I can, yes, I can remember that. Yeah. So moving on, I'm not sure why you wanted to know if I remembered, but we already did number 11 then. Okay, how about this one? What is a group of apes called? Oh my god.
SPEAKER_04Um. Okay. I think I know.
SPEAKER_10Okay.
SPEAKER_04I feel bad because if I get the answer right, Peike doesn't get a point, and he's got some really funny answers.
SPEAKER_07I'm literally, I'm just playing that game, just hoping that you don't know it, so that I can go for the funny points.
SPEAKER_10I will say that I went through a few of the more common ones, the ones that, like, if you know this subject, you know these ones. Uh, I will get deeper into some um less common ones. Or I'm pretty sure you don't know.
SPEAKER_07Because I'm not playing the game on the parent of correct answers today.
SPEAKER_09Okay, hang on.
SPEAKER_10Okay, I'm hanging on.
SPEAKER_04If you want Jeff to hang on, make sure you don't let go.
SPEAKER_10Okay. Got it. Okay. Or at least trying to get it. Reveal your answers. Jerry says a planet. Pake says an aparition. And Daphne with the correct answer. A shrewdness of apes. Boring getting it right. That one.
SPEAKER_04I'm so sorry because I feel like Peg, your answers are so funny, and I this would be a big thing.
SPEAKER_07It was very good there, too. I like to play. It was.
SPEAKER_04If I wasn't playing and it was the three of you, it would be so much more fun. Because then I probably would award you lots of funny points.
SPEAKER_10Let's see. Uh, this one was interesting when I read it. I don't you maybe Daphne knows this. I probably there are so many things that you know that it's hard to get around them.
SPEAKER_04Obscure randomness is my wheelhouse.
SPEAKER_10What is a group of boars called? Not pigs. Boars.
SPEAKER_04Uh I don't know.
SPEAKER_10Good. Good. Peaky got a chance now. Yeah.
SPEAKER_07Oh no, this one's not even really that funny. But you said just one that sounds good, and this one just feels good.
SPEAKER_09I don't know. This one's dancing around in my brain eats. Alright, I think I think I got it, or close to it.
SPEAKER_10Okay. Okay. Let's see. Please reveal your answers. Jerry says a sounding. Daphne says a drove. And Pake says an arrangement of boars. Uh I will give it to you, Jerry. A sounder is not specifically for boars. It's actually a little more general for swine. Um boars are a singular of boars. That's confusing. The collective noun for multiple boars is a singular of boars. Because fuck you, that's why.
SPEAKER_09Maybe that's where maybe maybe that's where I was off then. Yeah.
SPEAKER_10Uh I do have like I went through a number of different sources. The original Book of St. Albans has it as a singular, and a sounder as being swine. Um there are other sites, including, let me see what it was here. Um Oxford English Dictionary says that a sounder is for a group of wild boars. Well, a singular is for a group of I guess tame boars, which I didn't even know you really.
SPEAKER_04Do they carry identification? So you know which is which?
SPEAKER_10Maybe. Yeah.
SPEAKER_04Like a passport?
SPEAKER_10A passport, I suppose, yeah.
SPEAKER_07I'm not asking a pig for their papers. No.
SPEAKER_10That feels topical.
SPEAKER_04All right. Um, if everyone wants to take a break, if you need to use the restroom or grab a drink, Jerry has passed out and uh it'll take a minute while he reboots his mainframe.
SPEAKER_07See, I wasn't even trying to make that a thing. You know, I I could have hypothetically added, because that's their job to ask other people. But I would never say anything like that.
SPEAKER_04Yes. Uh tell me, Peg, how have how heavy is the halo above your head?
SPEAKER_07I just want to make some bacon. I got a lot. I wore that shirt to uh to off book the other night, and I got quite a few uh compliments on it.
SPEAKER_04Of course you did.
SPEAKER_07And I'm wearing it to improv this weekend, too. I made sure to watch it today.
SPEAKER_10Nice. Oh, I think I think Jerry is back. Okay. Welcome back, Jerry. Oh my gosh. Alright. How about this one here? What is a group of jellyfish called? I like this one too. I honestly I'm picking ones that I like, which it would be weird if I was like, I dislike this one and I'm choosing it. So I probably don't need to keep saying that I like this one, but I'm going to.
SPEAKER_04Well, I mean, you can keep saying it, but it's gonna become as boring as when Jerry talks about something being a lucky number.
SPEAKER_07I feel like I've heard this one before, but it's not coming to me.
SPEAKER_04This growing up on coastal Maine?
SPEAKER_10Do you have jellyfish on coastal Maine? Yeah. We do. I don't know enough about jellyfish habitats. I always think of them as warmer waters.
SPEAKER_07Yeah, so we have plenty of them in Texas.
SPEAKER_10All right, please reveal your answers. Pake says a marmalade of jellyfish. Jerry and Daphne both say a smack of jellyfish, which is correct.
SPEAKER_09I see, because my mine is like a sound effect.
SPEAKER_07Yeah, yes. I've accidentally found myself smack in the middle of a smack, and it's not fun.
SPEAKER_04Where was I? Oh yeah. When I went to St. Louis, Kelsey and I went to an aquarium and there were jellyfish, but they were the non-stingy jellyfish, so you could put your hand in. It was really bizarre feeling. That reminds me, I still have pictures from that that I've not posted on social media or the ones I've encountered were the stinging variety, and again, not fun. You know what you're supposed to do if you get stung by a jellyfish?
SPEAKER_07That's not correct. Well, she didn't say what it was yet, so I was gonna say, like, probably like apply some kind of ointment or just like wash it and like take a short. The correct answer is use seawater, clean it up and kind of just let it do its thing. Water sports are not part of the recommended. It's true.
SPEAKER_10It's true. And actually, I know I've I remember this has come up before, I think, and Daphne has you know talked about that. The fact that the urban legend or the commonly held belief that you're supposed to pee on a jellyfish stick.
SPEAKER_07No, whoever came up with that and made that spread was just a pervert.
SPEAKER_06I'm supposed to pee on that.
SPEAKER_07That's that's what the Al, I got stung by a jellyfish. What do I do?
SPEAKER_06Let me pee on you. No, I promise that's really what you're supposed to do. No, I have to do it. It's the only way. I got you, I really don't want to.
SPEAKER_10Okay. Uh how about this one? What is a group of pheasants called? Not peasants. Oh.
SPEAKER_04I feel like I know this one.
SPEAKER_07Like all of these I've heard before, but then they immediately left. Because I was like, well, I don't need that information.
SPEAKER_10Why would you ever need to know that? I need room for 21 Pilates lyrics. Yes.
SPEAKER_04Oh, I feel Oh my god. Okay.
SPEAKER_07So instead of trying to rack my brain, I'm just gonna write the other thing that comes to my head that's funny.
SPEAKER_09Well, I I think it's the same because they're a similar bird as the one I'm thinking of.
SPEAKER_10Okay.
SPEAKER_07It's possible. And then you'll reveal the answer, or they will, one of them will have it on their board and I'll go, yep, I've heard that before.
SPEAKER_10Oh, shit. Sorry. Jerry forgot he was recording for a second. 100% forgot that he was Jerry.
SPEAKER_04You have look, I don't know why you were up at 4 a.m., but you have no excuse. It's not even Jerry o'clock yet.
SPEAKER_10No, it's well past Jerry o'clock, actually. It's 9 38.
SPEAKER_03Oh my.
SPEAKER_10Oh, that vein is pulsing.
SPEAKER_03He's laughing so hard. He's gonna have to reboot. He's not gonna pass out, but he's gonna have to reboot.
SPEAKER_10Jerry, I swear, looking at your head is a phlebotomous wet dream.
SPEAKER_03And that's it. Jerry.
SPEAKER_09Okay, the episode title will not be a phlebotomous wet dream. I don't know.
SPEAKER_03Why not? I feel like it's gotta be. Oh you can't discount that. You can't discount that as an episode title.
SPEAKER_08Oh my god. Okay.
SPEAKER_10Okay, just reveal your answers. Okay. Oh. Peg has a flock of pheasants spelled P-H-L-O-C-K. Mary has a cubby of pheasants, and Daphne has the correct answer, a bouquet.
SPEAKER_04Can I take my point though and give it to Peike? Would you give it to Peak? Sure, why not?
SPEAKER_10I can do that.
SPEAKER_04I like his answer the best.
SPEAKER_10A cubby is a group of partridges.
SPEAKER_03A cubby. Not a pear tree? Not a partridge.
SPEAKER_10Not a pearth part. A pear tree of partridges. A pear tree?
SPEAKER_07Well, that's what I kind of figured. The song was always like, you can't gift somebody an entire tree, but like if you just like give them a partridge that was part of a group. A partridge that's in a pear tree of other partridges.
SPEAKER_10Oh my uh let's see. What can I do here? Probably give us another one. Yeah, I can. I can do that, probably. Uh what is a group of bears called?
SPEAKER_03Oh.
SPEAKER_10Daphne is trying to remember.
SPEAKER_03I think it's this. This is what it is.
SPEAKER_10Okay. I have please reveal your answers. Jerry says a sloth. Daphne says a sloth. Well, hey, that kind of says a football team of Da Bears. Or a lubrication.
SPEAKER_00A group of bears is called a sloth.
SPEAKER_06And then what is a group of sloths?
SPEAKER_07A bear?
SPEAKER_06A bear.
SPEAKER_07Let's see.
SPEAKER_04They ran out. Yeah, they ran out of it.
SPEAKER_07Ran out of names, so they just start giving other animal names.
SPEAKER_04Yep.
SPEAKER_07A penguin of lions. That's my favorite George R. R. Martin book. Oh.
SPEAKER_03Oh my god. Oh, you're oh man.
SPEAKER_04My face hurts for more things.
SPEAKER_10That's the best episodes.
SPEAKER_03Okay. All right.
SPEAKER_10Well, we've done ten. We'll do a few more. Um. How about this one? At this point, I'm trying to do things that I think there's no way Daphne has heard of this one.
SPEAKER_07Um that's a tricky, tricky thing to try to do.
SPEAKER_10It really is. It's harder than I thought. Uh what is a group of finches? Called.
SPEAKER_04I don't know that one, so I decided to come up with something funny.
SPEAKER_10Nice. I did it.
SPEAKER_04Oh yeah.
SPEAKER_07This one's a bit of a thinker.
SPEAKER_04As long as it's a thinker and not a stinker.
SPEAKER_07It might be both.
SPEAKER_10We'll see. And it starts with a vowel. Mm-hmm.
SPEAKER_04I'm wondering if we put the same thing. Maybe? I don't know.
SPEAKER_07Similar.
SPEAKER_04Uh-huh.
SPEAKER_07But you might have gone too far and made it too direct.
SPEAKER_03Maybe.
SPEAKER_07I made an extra step in thinking if we did.
SPEAKER_03Okay.
SPEAKER_07We'll see.
SPEAKER_09My brother had finches my brother had finches when I was younger, and this is what he called them.
SPEAKER_03Oh, okay.
SPEAKER_07Alright.
SPEAKER_10Please reuse it. Shit ton is not the correct answer, Jerry. A company, says Jerry. An atticus, says Daphne. An attic of finches, says Pake. You have something else written on the bottom there? No. Seem to be lifting it in a way.
SPEAKER_09I was like, it's either company or flock. Gina's like, but I'm going to go.
SPEAKER_10Most birds can be referred to as a flock. The correct answer is a charm of finches. A charm of finches. Let's see if I want to give that one. Yeah, I'll give it to both Daphne and Pake.
SPEAKER_07It's the same joke, just adding a speaking instead of Addicus of, it was an Atticus. An Attica Finch.
SPEAKER_04Yes. I'm just glad that we were in the same ballpark.
SPEAKER_09Yes, absolutely. It was the same idea. I asked. No, you were in the same courtroom. Yeah. Same ballpark.
SPEAKER_10True, very true. True. Okay. How about this one? What is a group of wombats called?
SPEAKER_04Uh wombats.
SPEAKER_10Yes. Wombats. Wombats.
SPEAKER_09I have heard this one. Although I've heard a couple things, but I've heard many things.
SPEAKER_10Just in general.
SPEAKER_09Sorry, I should not lean away from the microphone.
SPEAKER_10No, you shouldn't. It's really I'm sorry. Even if it's to breathe.
SPEAKER_09We will not let Tayson Day go, will we?
SPEAKER_07No.
SPEAKER_01No.
SPEAKER_07This is another animal that's well known that I can't think of right now, but I like it. Maybe that's wombats also.
SPEAKER_05Alright.
SPEAKER_07I'm giving a little fun factoid as well.
SPEAKER_10Oh good. I know exactly what your factoid is, too.
SPEAKER_05I bet so.
SPEAKER_10The number one factoid to talk about. Absolutely. Alright. Please reveal your answers. Daphne says a coven. Jerry says a mob. Pink says a parliament of wombats. And what is your little and they have cube poop. It's true. Their poop is cubic. Uh a group of wombats is called a wisdom. A wisdom of wombats. That's fun. That will go to Pake for a parliament of wombats.
SPEAKER_07I assume, because that's that's sort of a well-known if you know these things. What is the animal that's a parliament? Because I know that one's come up. Not lions, that's a pride.
SPEAKER_10It is a specific bird. Penguins? Parliament? Parliament.
SPEAKER_09Oh, owls.
SPEAKER_10Owls. That's right. Owls. A parliament of owls.
SPEAKER_09But I don't get a point for that. No, you don't.
SPEAKER_10I considered using that one, but I kind of felt like that was in the same place as like uh you know, some of the other ones that I've done that are little unknown, like crash of rhinos.
SPEAKER_04I've decided that for our next episode, I'm gonna institute a drinking game every time Jerry banks his microphone. You take a shot.
SPEAKER_09I'm gonna kill everybody else.
SPEAKER_10Alright. Uh yeah, let's just do one more here. Um let's see, what do I want to do here? Probably one that Daphne may know, and Jerry may as well. What is a group of peacocks called?
SPEAKER_09I've heard like three different things of these.
SPEAKER_10I do have a couple of different ones that I see for this, depending on the source. There is one that was used in um I think in the book of St. Albans that is the most like poetic type.
SPEAKER_04So we keep that we all have that book on our bookshelf.
SPEAKER_10Absolutely.
SPEAKER_04For easy reading.
SPEAKER_10You can find uh scanned in copy of it uh on the Internet Archive, which is impossible to read because it's written in that calligraphy Middle English. First of all, it's written in calligraphy, second, it's written in Middle English.
SPEAKER_04Excellent!
SPEAKER_10Yeah, it's like can't understand.
SPEAKER_04We'll do a special episode and Jeff's gonna read from that book.
SPEAKER_10Like, for example, fishing is spelled F-Y-S-S-H-I-N-G-E.
SPEAKER_04Facinge.
SPEAKER_10Facing!
SPEAKER_09Now, how far could an English speaker go back in time and still be able to understand English?
SPEAKER_10It depends. Do you mean understand every single word or pick it up from context clues?
SPEAKER_09Maybe context clues. Yeah, I know you could probably go to the city.
SPEAKER_10Middle English you could do pretty pretty easily. Old English you're not gonna be able to.
SPEAKER_09Yeah, okay.
SPEAKER_10Um, please reveal your answers. Peacocks are a castle of peacocks, Take, or what is your uh other or peafowl, technically.
SPEAKER_07Because they're peafowl. A peacock is a male peafowl, and then there's a pea hen. So technically they're pee they're peafoul.
SPEAKER_10You're correct. You are correct. You know what? That's a point for Pake on technical on El Mashley there. Yeah. Uh both Jerry and Daphne are correct. Muster or ostentation of peacocks. Uh ostentation is the one that's in Book of St. Albans, but uh muster absolutely shows up. Where was it that I saw that one here? Uh both the uh yeah, Oxford English Dictionary and the USGS, you know US uh Geographical Society. Uh both have that one listed as well. All right. We will finish off the game there with a total of nine. Daphne is the winner over Peg and Jerry with six each. Alright. So that was the complete runaway.
SPEAKER_04That includes the point that I gave it. Okay, because I gave him that point.
SPEAKER_10Yes.
SPEAKER_04Because I thought it was too funny.
SPEAKER_10Otherwise, you would have ten, yes.
SPEAKER_04Okay. I had to give it to him because it was too funny. You have to reward the bit.
SPEAKER_07I wish that more things in my life worked that way, because then I'd be doing so much better off.
SPEAKER_10I forgot the one that I was gonna do. We'll do one more just for fun. Alright. Uh what is a group of buffaloes called?
SPEAKER_07Oh, yeah.
SPEAKER_02I'm gonna ask you a herd.
SPEAKER_10Herd is the most common one, but the more like, you know, murder of crows type answer. Uh and technically these are not bison. These are not American buffaloes. These are African buffalo. African buffalo, yes. Bison, as far as I can tell, is just called a herd.
SPEAKER_07I don't know, but this just sounds cool.
SPEAKER_04I don't know.
SPEAKER_10I almost forgot to do this one.
SPEAKER_04I'm going with this because it's it's what we are.
SPEAKER_10I will give you a hint. Referred to as a podcast, yeah. A podcast of the way. I will give you a hint. This what it's called is absolutely what we are. Or at least what the three of us are.
SPEAKER_04I feel like this is it.
SPEAKER_10Well, that's not gonna be a good one. He's like, I gotta come up with something else then.
SPEAKER_05I'm leaving my initial one, but then I'm putting the other one in the first one.
SPEAKER_10One wasn't very funny, though.
SPEAKER_05It wasn't.
SPEAKER_10Okay, fine. I'll have two answers this way. Sure, why not? Write down multiple answers for whatever item.
SPEAKER_07Let me just write down every word I can think of and see if I nail it. Alright.
SPEAKER_10Alright. Please reveal your answers.
SPEAKER_03Okay.
SPEAKER_10Daphne says a gang. Pake says a kingdom or an annoyance of buffalo. We all kind of crossed over a little bit. An annoyance of buffalo. The correct point is. And this is what I wrote at the bottom. That is a point for Daphne.
SPEAKER_09It's obstinate.
SPEAKER_10It's obstinate buffalo is called an obstinacy.
SPEAKER_04What? No, you guys are the obstinate. Like.
SPEAKER_10Yes.
SPEAKER_04I did draw, please. Three little heart. I did draw three little hearts at the bottom.
SPEAKER_10Absolutely, Daphne. A group of buffalo is called an obstinacy.
SPEAKER_04Oh my god. Okay. Well, now I'll commit that to memory.
SPEAKER_07Even when she's not trying, she'll 100% perfectly nail it.
SPEAKER_09Yeah. No, but I think I I love the overlap of annoyance and gang.
SPEAKER_07Yeah, we have a little nice crossover there.
SPEAKER_10Paik had kingdom and gang, Jerry had annoyance. Or kingdom and annoyance. Jerry had annoyance and gang, and Daphne had gang and obstinate. Obstinacy. Well, I mean, it's true. That game went better than I thought it might. I honestly was like, I have no idea how this is going to go, but this is what's great. I'm at Gambler's Fallacy now where I've like I put all of my effort into this, so this is what we're doing.
SPEAKER_07Yeah. It's too late to figure something else out, so let's see. I've been there before.
SPEAKER_04Yep. I'm already kind of working on my no, I don't have to work on a game.
SPEAKER_10You don't ever again?
SPEAKER_04No, we're gonna have Levi here in two weeks. So I don't have to do it.
SPEAKER_10But they can stop streaming.
SPEAKER_04If they can stop streaming long enough.
SPEAKER_10Probably stream the podcast. They might just stream the podcast.
SPEAKER_04Um but my next one will be Jeopardy, that I can tell you, and there will be like a double Jeopardy because we've talked about it a little bit.
SPEAKER_10So I'll make sure to do Jeopardy next week. Perfect. I'm gonna do Jeopardy in my game too. You're such obstinate in obstinate. Obstinate little We are an obstinacy of Buffalo Buffalo. Yes.
SPEAKER_03Oh, you're something.
SPEAKER_09Okay, we were the annoyance.
SPEAKER_10Jerry, you have some feedback, or not you, but uh, there is some feedback. You've got to share it.
SPEAKER_07Jerry, you have some feedback. You have some thoughts. We we don't have a like suggestion box, so this is your time.
SPEAKER_09Yes, it's my like I wasn't given enough time earlier. Yeah.
SPEAKER_04I feel like we need to have like some little sound effect that goes into feedback. Something, I don't know, roughly. No, we're not doing that. That is a run for your life special.
SPEAKER_10Um maybe if we just like play some actual feedback, like microphone feedback, it would be really fun. People would love that. Just like 30 seconds of feedback.
SPEAKER_04Oh my god. All right, Jerry, what do you got?
SPEAKER_09Both of these are from my brother Tim.
SPEAKER_04We know that you're his favorite already.
SPEAKER_10No. He actually said that Jerry's his least favorite. It's a little bit weird.
SPEAKER_09Yeah. Oh, we I didn't say that. You don't put in my mouth. I didn't. Okay. Okay. Uh he comments on episode 92, Poseidon's Kiss, and he says, Poseidon's Kiss. Great reference, Jeff. That actually happened to me more than once. And the other scenario did too. Not a good situation. That sock idea was a good option.
SPEAKER_10Yeah, the other uh besides the Poseidon's kiss, it was the running out of toilet paper or not having toilet paper. Yeah.
SPEAKER_09Yeah. And then uh he said also says Rob and Joe were cool. Those would you rather questions cause self-reflection, deeper consideration, and changes in my perspective, and possibly new nightmares, and more money for my therapists.
SPEAKER_04I like that one. That was cool. Thank you, Tim, for sending that in. I'll be sure to share that with Rob and Joe tomorrow.
SPEAKER_07Okay. And and with Rob as well, if you can.
SPEAKER_09Yeah. I still trying to wrap my head around the fact that those are two different people.
SPEAKER_10I wish that you would have at any point mentioned that they were two different people. I just don't know why you let us go on thinking that it was some person named Rob and Joe.
SPEAKER_04Because sometimes it's easier just to let you go off in your own little world because trying to explain it to you takes too much energy.
SPEAKER_07I'm already tired from just that.
SPEAKER_04See?
SPEAKER_09Okay. Okay, and on episode 94, uh, freedom tastes like pistachios, Tim writes. Cuban food, that's freaking classic, NJ. You got Levi with a hamnet thing. Now I want to listen or see that clip.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_09Jeff, Pake, and Jerry, you all should take turns and pick number 13 random, you know, 13 pick number 13. Random number generators be damned. Unless you're all you you three are bored and have to submit to Daphne the Board Queen. I heard all the hive mind references, so I am worried. I like this game. I was looking them up as you all went along.
SPEAKER_10The correct the answer, Tim, is that we're all terrified. Yes.
SPEAKER_04You're terrified. What? What are you afraid of?
SPEAKER_10Getting the look. Mm-hmm.
SPEAKER_09No, the look is the you know, putting the hands over the over, you know, like doing the double face palm, just like, oh my god.
SPEAKER_04No, we're far beyond that, Jerry.
SPEAKER_10Yes. I'm worried that she's gonna like use my middle name or something like that.
SPEAKER_04I know what it is. You can't use my middle name.
SPEAKER_07Yeah, you know what she does with those. Yes.
SPEAKER_04Yeah.
SPEAKER_09And you can't use my middle name.
SPEAKER_07No.
SPEAKER_04Because you don't have one. That's correct. But I know Jeff's and I know Jay uh Peig's.
SPEAKER_07You don't let her have your middle name. She'll pull up your dead relatives online.
SPEAKER_04No, I didn't! That was ridiculous.
SPEAKER_09That was so insane. So insane!
SPEAKER_04That was a test one night. That's when I learned that AI knows way too much.
SPEAKER_09Yeah, but thank you, Tim.
SPEAKER_04Thank you so much, Tim.
SPEAKER_09Yes.
SPEAKER_04If you like what you've heard, you can find us on Facebook and Instagram at Buffalo Buffalo Podcast or on our website, Buffalo Buffalo Podcast.com. Thank you so much for joining us for another hilarious episode. Until next time.
