So oh wow.

SPEAKER_07

That's not bad, honestly. It's not bad. Honestly, it's it's it's not bad.

SPEAKER_10

I 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_09

I was gonna say, would anybody like to take a guess what time I woke up this morning?

SPEAKER_01

5 30. 5 o'clock, 4 30.

SPEAKER_07

SPEAKER_09

Jerry 4.

SPEAKER_04

I don't know how to help you with this.

SPEAKER_09

I 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_10

Good.

SPEAKER_09

And and woke up half an hour later and was up for good.

SPEAKER_07

You know what I was doing at 4 a.m. this morning?

SPEAKER_09

Going to sleep?

SPEAKER_07

Playing a video game.

SPEAKER_10

Yeah.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_10

Yeah. 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_04

I roll over and just go to sleep. Go back to sleep. It's not time. Yeah.

SPEAKER_09

Yeah. 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_10

Levi 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_04

The day that we're recording this, I believe it's National Burt Gummer Day.

SPEAKER_02

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_10

Oh, that's right. Yeah. No, that was yesterday, was Burt Gummer Day. Or yesterday, yeah.

SPEAKER_04

Yesterday was Burt Gummer Day. I know that, you know, it's it's a really big week, so there's lots of celebrations.

SPEAKER_09

We might make it Burt Gummer Week.

SPEAKER_04

I mean, honestly, Burt Gummer deserves a whole week devoted to him.

SPEAKER_10

I 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_02

He's alright.

SPEAKER_03

He's had enough.

SPEAKER_07

Okay, 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_10

Very jealous of you. Very jealous of you.

SPEAKER_04

Me too.

SPEAKER_01

We live vicariously through Pakes adventures.

SPEAKER_10

San 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_09

When you said sketchfest, I thought it was just a bunch of people drawing pictures.

SPEAKER_07

Or a bunch of people in in trench coats that were just real suspicious to talk to.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_09

Not sketchy fest.

SPEAKER_04

My 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_10

I 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_04

Well you kind of do improv every week on this podcast. No.

SPEAKER_10

I everything I'm saying is scripted.

SPEAKER_07

I I thought I made sure I sent the scripts to everybody. You sent them to me.

SPEAKER_04

I I I don't need a script. I got them.

SPEAKER_07

Yeah. Yeah. Stephanie, you've just been winging it the whole time.

SPEAKER_10

How is it in about three minutes? Jerry's gonna pass out and smack his microphone.

SPEAKER_02

So make sure you know.

SPEAKER_07

Don'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_04

You'll laugh if in three minutes one of you says something that makes him pass out. Because it it very well could happen.

SPEAKER_09

It 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_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07

Well, yeah, we have to make sure we start on the right page.

SPEAKER_10

Yes. Right, absolutely.

SPEAKER_07

Which is usually page one. No, not 11, Daphne. Not 11, Daphne. One.

SPEAKER_04

Uh no.

SPEAKER_07

Uh 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_04

I am incredibly talented. You guys just never realized how talented. Oh, she did miss that one.

SPEAKER_07

I wrote in the script, I mean incredibly German, and she missed that one.

SPEAKER_06

And right on cue, there goes Jerry.

SPEAKER_09

No, I didn't pass that. Like, not quite.

SPEAKER_04

Oh man. I had a comeback for that pake, but I wasn't.

SPEAKER_07

But 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_04

Well, I mean, you said that I I was supposed to say that I'm incredibly German, but honestly, I'm incredibly Canadian.

SPEAKER_07

Absolutely. It's true. Clearly Canadian.

SPEAKER_04

I didn't want I wasn't gonna like say anything about it right now.

SPEAKER_02

Someday. Yes. Wow.

SPEAKER_04

Jerry, are you still with us? Can we continue on with this episode?

SPEAKER_09

That's fine. I'm just I forgot. I forgot to open this bottle of water before we started.

SPEAKER_04

It's okay. Bang your microphone a couple of times.

SPEAKER_10

Right up against the microphone. We want to hear this journey.

SPEAKER_04

Which we know Jerry loves.

SPEAKER_10

Jerry loves ASMR. You know, I He did it?

SPEAKER_03

Last thing. Did you bang the microphone? I did not bang the microphone!

SPEAKER_07

I did not have sexual relations with that microphone.

SPEAKER_10

Oh, nothing like uh a reference from 1992.

SPEAKER_04

Wait 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_01

It was an infant.

SPEAKER_09

I think that was a 1998 reference.

SPEAKER_07

Yeah, 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_01

At that point, like teeth.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_10

Usually the mom kicks you out. Yeah.

SPEAKER_09

No, 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_04

Are you the ASMR police?

SPEAKER_09

No.

SPEAKER_04

I I'm starting to believe you are. I think you've got a jacket that says it on the back.

SPEAKER_10

No, I can't do a thing where police he's not doing any he's not doing.

SPEAKER_09

I'm not doing a very job very well.

SPEAKER_10

No.

SPEAKER_04

No.

SPEAKER_09

Especially those guys that do like they add the crunch when they bite something, and it it's like a soft burrito.

SPEAKER_01

And that's like Gary, could you explain that's just crunching?

SPEAKER_07

There'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_09

So it might seem comedic, but it's also annoying.

SPEAKER_04

It'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_07

No, 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_00

Oh goodbye.

SPEAKER_07

Yeah, no.

SPEAKER_09

Yeah, 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_07

It's like or the AI voices I'm getting very sick of.

SPEAKER_01

Oh my god, they're everywhere.

SPEAKER_04

Those 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_09

And 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_07

Stop complaining?

SPEAKER_04

And I'm sorry. Jerry has passed out once again.

SPEAKER_09

This 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_07

Oh, 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_10

Oh 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_07

No. 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_08

But uh, I was gonna say the so you got this.

SPEAKER_07

You 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_10

It's important that we hear this. You got it. Come on, Jerry, you got this.

SPEAKER_09

No. 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_06

Well, that's a new complaint, it's a different complaint.

SPEAKER_10

It's fine.

SPEAKER_09

Okay, yeah.

SPEAKER_07

Hey, wait, I've got a new complaint. Oh. Right.

SPEAKER_10

All right, should we move on to a game? Would that be okay with everyone? Uh yes.

SPEAKER_04

Yes, Jeff.

SPEAKER_07

I suppose.

unknown

All right.

SPEAKER_04

Let's play a game.

SPEAKER_10

Okay. 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_04

Gerald is a mouse name from a pink Florida.

SPEAKER_10

Yes, 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_04

He's getting rather old, but he's a good mouse.

SPEAKER_10

Yes. And we'll stop reciting lyrics there before Roger Waters comes after us.

SPEAKER_09

Yeah. But isn't reciting lyrics just fine?

SPEAKER_10

I don't know.

SPEAKER_07

I 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_10

Uh we could call this game attempted murder.

SPEAKER_04

Is it about crows?

SPEAKER_10

It is, sort of. Uh, it's about collective nouns. I love this. Okay, can we have crows?

SPEAKER_04

Can we just give the win to Jerry and save us all the pain and suffering?

SPEAKER_10

We 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_07

Oh good. I have a chance then because most of my answers are going to be joke answers.

SPEAKER_10

So 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_04

Wonderful Jeff.

SPEAKER_07

No RNG. However, Daphne does pick 11.

SPEAKER_10

Right. 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_07

I feel like unless I immediately know it, I'm not even trying. I'm just immediately going to joke again.

SPEAKER_10

Absolutely. 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_07

I have heard that before.

SPEAKER_10

Yep. Angelical Agelical of Cats. That is a fantastic one.

SPEAKER_04

That is. I feel like it could be an uh title of the episode if we don't come up with anything better.

SPEAKER_10

Let's hope we come up with something better then. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

Okay.

SPEAKER_10

Okay, 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_09

I my brain. I have it in there somewhere.

SPEAKER_10

I just I figured you would when you when you said that you loved these nouns.

SPEAKER_09

I 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_10

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_09

No, actually no, not hour 13, hour 16. See, they can't even do freaking math.

SPEAKER_10

That'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_07

I murmuration. I almost wrote that, but I thought that was just a thing all birds do. It was like a specific thing.

SPEAKER_09

It'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_07

I thought all birds can have murmurations.

SPEAKER_09

No, not not like starlings.

SPEAKER_04

I should have put conglomeration, that would have been more fun.

SPEAKER_07

I 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_09

Yeah. Yep. It's a fun word. Now, Fresno has the distinction of having the largest estimated flock of or murmuration of starlings ever.

SPEAKER_10

That's amazing. We get them sometimes black out the sky.

SPEAKER_09

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_10

Yeah, 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_04

Oh.

SPEAKER_10

I'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_04

Sometimes it's come up before.

SPEAKER_10

Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

I'm lucky when that happens. Not that often. This is wild.

SPEAKER_10

Another 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_04

I think.

SPEAKER_10

Alright. 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_07

So 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_01

I think so.

SPEAKER_07

A slaughtering of vultures.

SPEAKER_10

Okay. How about this one? I'm I have been wondering if Daphne knows this one. What is a group of ferrets called?

SPEAKER_07

Of course she knows that one.

SPEAKER_04

I do know that.

SPEAKER_07

I 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_04

Um But I d I no longer have a business of ferrets. I only have one now.

SPEAKER_07

Okay, thanks for the answer, Daphne.

SPEAKER_04

Oh fuck!

SPEAKER_03

So we just give it to the study So I have my answer.

SPEAKER_07

I 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_03

Oh, Daphne, that is amazing.

SPEAKER_10

Okay, if everybody's ready, please.

SPEAKER_04

Put it in.

SPEAKER_10

We 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_04

We're all really proud of me for knowing it and sharing it with.

SPEAKER_07

Clearly, too.

SPEAKER_04

Because I told you what it was.

SPEAKER_10

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_04

I was so focused on I no longer have it anymore because I only have one. I should never have said what it was.

SPEAKER_10

No, you shouldn't have.

SPEAKER_04

Can we remember what time it is here where I live? When we're recording this.

SPEAKER_10

I 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_04

Um. Okay. I think I know.

SPEAKER_10

Okay.

SPEAKER_04

I feel bad because if I get the answer right, Peike doesn't get a point, and he's got some really funny answers.

SPEAKER_07

I'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_10

I 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_07

Because I'm not playing the game on the parent of correct answers today.

SPEAKER_09

Okay, hang on.

SPEAKER_10

Okay, I'm hanging on.

SPEAKER_04

If you want Jeff to hang on, make sure you don't let go.

SPEAKER_10

Okay. 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_04

I'm so sorry because I feel like Peg, your answers are so funny, and I this would be a big thing.

SPEAKER_07

It was very good there, too. I like to play. It was.

SPEAKER_04

If 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_10

Let'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_04

Obscure randomness is my wheelhouse.

SPEAKER_10

What is a group of boars called? Not pigs. Boars.

SPEAKER_04

Uh I don't know.

SPEAKER_10

Good. Good. Peaky got a chance now. Yeah.

SPEAKER_07

Oh no, this one's not even really that funny. But you said just one that sounds good, and this one just feels good.

SPEAKER_09

I 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_10

Okay. 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_09

Maybe that's where maybe maybe that's where I was off then. Yeah.

SPEAKER_10

Uh 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_04

Do they carry identification? So you know which is which?

SPEAKER_10

Maybe. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

Like a passport?

SPEAKER_10

A passport, I suppose, yeah.

SPEAKER_07

I'm not asking a pig for their papers. No.

SPEAKER_10

That feels topical.

SPEAKER_04

All 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_07

See, 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_04

Yes. Uh tell me, Peg, how have how heavy is the halo above your head?

SPEAKER_07

I 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_04

Of course you did.

SPEAKER_07

And I'm wearing it to improv this weekend, too. I made sure to watch it today.

SPEAKER_10

Nice. 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_04

Well, 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_07

I feel like I've heard this one before, but it's not coming to me.

SPEAKER_04

This growing up on coastal Maine?

SPEAKER_10

Do 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_07

Yeah, so we have plenty of them in Texas.

SPEAKER_10

All right, please reveal your answers. Pake says a marmalade of jellyfish. Jerry and Daphne both say a smack of jellyfish, which is correct.

SPEAKER_09

I see, because my mine is like a sound effect.

SPEAKER_07

Yeah, yes. I've accidentally found myself smack in the middle of a smack, and it's not fun.

SPEAKER_04

Where 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_07

That'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_10

It'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_07

No, whoever came up with that and made that spread was just a pervert.

SPEAKER_06

I'm supposed to pee on that.

SPEAKER_07

That's that's what the Al, I got stung by a jellyfish. What do I do?

SPEAKER_06

Let 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_10

Okay. Uh how about this one? What is a group of pheasants called? Not peasants. Oh.

SPEAKER_04

I feel like I know this one.

SPEAKER_07

Like all of these I've heard before, but then they immediately left. Because I was like, well, I don't need that information.

SPEAKER_10

Why would you ever need to know that? I need room for 21 Pilates lyrics. Yes.

SPEAKER_04

Oh, I feel Oh my god. Okay.

SPEAKER_07

So instead of trying to rack my brain, I'm just gonna write the other thing that comes to my head that's funny.

SPEAKER_09

Well, I I think it's the same because they're a similar bird as the one I'm thinking of.

SPEAKER_10

Okay.

SPEAKER_07

It'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_10

Oh, shit. Sorry. Jerry forgot he was recording for a second. 100% forgot that he was Jerry.

SPEAKER_04

You 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_10

No, it's well past Jerry o'clock, actually. It's 9 38.

SPEAKER_03

Oh my.

SPEAKER_10

Oh, that vein is pulsing.

SPEAKER_03

He's laughing so hard. He's gonna have to reboot. He's not gonna pass out, but he's gonna have to reboot.

SPEAKER_10

Jerry, I swear, looking at your head is a phlebotomous wet dream.

SPEAKER_03

And that's it. Jerry.

SPEAKER_09

Okay, the episode title will not be a phlebotomous wet dream. I don't know.

SPEAKER_03

Why not? I feel like it's gotta be. Oh you can't discount that. You can't discount that as an episode title.

SPEAKER_08

Oh my god. Okay.

SPEAKER_10

Okay, 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_04

Can I take my point though and give it to Peike? Would you give it to Peak? Sure, why not?

SPEAKER_10

I can do that.

SPEAKER_04

I like his answer the best.

SPEAKER_10

A cubby is a group of partridges.

SPEAKER_03

A cubby. Not a pear tree? Not a partridge.

SPEAKER_10

Not a pearth part. A pear tree of partridges. A pear tree?

SPEAKER_07

Well, 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_10

Oh 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_03

Oh.

SPEAKER_10

Daphne is trying to remember.

SPEAKER_03

I think it's this. This is what it is.

SPEAKER_10

Okay. 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_00

A group of bears is called a sloth.

SPEAKER_06

And then what is a group of sloths?

SPEAKER_07

A bear?

SPEAKER_06

A bear.

SPEAKER_07

Let's see.

SPEAKER_04

They ran out. Yeah, they ran out of it.

SPEAKER_07

Ran out of names, so they just start giving other animal names.

SPEAKER_04

Yep.

SPEAKER_07

A penguin of lions. That's my favorite George R. R. Martin book. Oh.

SPEAKER_03

Oh my god. Oh, you're oh man.

SPEAKER_04

My face hurts for more things.

SPEAKER_10

That's the best episodes.

SPEAKER_03

Okay. All right.

SPEAKER_10

Well, 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_07

Um that's a tricky, tricky thing to try to do.

SPEAKER_10

It really is. It's harder than I thought. Uh what is a group of finches? Called.

SPEAKER_04

I don't know that one, so I decided to come up with something funny.

SPEAKER_10

Nice. I did it.

SPEAKER_04

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_07

This one's a bit of a thinker.

SPEAKER_04

As long as it's a thinker and not a stinker.

SPEAKER_07

It might be both.

SPEAKER_10

We'll see. And it starts with a vowel. Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_04

I'm wondering if we put the same thing. Maybe? I don't know.

SPEAKER_07

Similar.

SPEAKER_04

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_07

But you might have gone too far and made it too direct.

SPEAKER_03

Maybe.

SPEAKER_07

I made an extra step in thinking if we did.

SPEAKER_03

Okay.

SPEAKER_07

We'll see.

SPEAKER_09

My brother had finches my brother had finches when I was younger, and this is what he called them.

SPEAKER_03

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_07

Alright.

SPEAKER_10

Please 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_09

I was like, it's either company or flock. Gina's like, but I'm going to go.

SPEAKER_10

Most 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_07

It's the same joke, just adding a speaking instead of Addicus of, it was an Atticus. An Attica Finch.

SPEAKER_04

Yes. I'm just glad that we were in the same ballpark.

SPEAKER_09

Yes, absolutely. It was the same idea. I asked. No, you were in the same courtroom. Yeah. Same ballpark.

SPEAKER_10

True, very true. True. Okay. How about this one? What is a group of wombats called?

SPEAKER_04

Uh wombats.

SPEAKER_10

Yes. Wombats. Wombats.

SPEAKER_09

I have heard this one. Although I've heard a couple things, but I've heard many things.

SPEAKER_10

Just in general.

SPEAKER_09

Sorry, I should not lean away from the microphone.

SPEAKER_10

No, you shouldn't. It's really I'm sorry. Even if it's to breathe.

SPEAKER_09

We will not let Tayson Day go, will we?

SPEAKER_07

No.

SPEAKER_01

No.

SPEAKER_07

This 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_05

Alright.

SPEAKER_07

I'm giving a little fun factoid as well.

SPEAKER_10

Oh good. I know exactly what your factoid is, too.

SPEAKER_05

I bet so.

SPEAKER_10

The 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_07

I 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_10

It is a specific bird. Penguins? Parliament? Parliament.

SPEAKER_09

Oh, owls.

SPEAKER_10

Owls. That's right. Owls. A parliament of owls.

SPEAKER_09

But I don't get a point for that. No, you don't.

SPEAKER_10

I 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_04

I'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_09

I'm gonna kill everybody else.

SPEAKER_10

Alright. 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_09

I've heard like three different things of these.

SPEAKER_10

I 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_04

So we keep that we all have that book on our bookshelf.

SPEAKER_10

Absolutely.

SPEAKER_04

For easy reading.

SPEAKER_10

You 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_04

Excellent!

SPEAKER_10

Yeah, it's like can't understand.

SPEAKER_04

We'll do a special episode and Jeff's gonna read from that book.

SPEAKER_10

Like, for example, fishing is spelled F-Y-S-S-H-I-N-G-E.

SPEAKER_04

Facinge.

SPEAKER_10

Facing!

SPEAKER_09

Now, how far could an English speaker go back in time and still be able to understand English?

SPEAKER_10

It depends. Do you mean understand every single word or pick it up from context clues?

SPEAKER_09

Maybe context clues. Yeah, I know you could probably go to the city.

SPEAKER_10

Middle English you could do pretty pretty easily. Old English you're not gonna be able to.

SPEAKER_09

Yeah, okay.

SPEAKER_10

Um, please reveal your answers. Peacocks are a castle of peacocks, Take, or what is your uh other or peafowl, technically.

SPEAKER_07

Because 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_10

You'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_04

That includes the point that I gave it. Okay, because I gave him that point.

SPEAKER_10

Yes.

SPEAKER_04

Because I thought it was too funny.

SPEAKER_10

Otherwise, you would have ten, yes.

SPEAKER_04

Okay. I had to give it to him because it was too funny. You have to reward the bit.

SPEAKER_07

I wish that more things in my life worked that way, because then I'd be doing so much better off.

SPEAKER_10

I 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_07

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_02

I'm gonna ask you a herd.

SPEAKER_10

Herd 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_07

I don't know, but this just sounds cool.

SPEAKER_04

I don't know.

SPEAKER_10

I almost forgot to do this one.

SPEAKER_04

I'm going with this because it's it's what we are.

SPEAKER_10

I 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_04

I feel like this is it.

SPEAKER_10

Well, that's not gonna be a good one. He's like, I gotta come up with something else then.

SPEAKER_05

I'm leaving my initial one, but then I'm putting the other one in the first one.

SPEAKER_10

One wasn't very funny, though.

SPEAKER_05

It wasn't.

SPEAKER_10

Okay, fine. I'll have two answers this way. Sure, why not? Write down multiple answers for whatever item.

SPEAKER_07

Let me just write down every word I can think of and see if I nail it. Alright.

SPEAKER_10

Alright. Please reveal your answers.

SPEAKER_03

Okay.

SPEAKER_10

Daphne 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_09

It's obstinate.

SPEAKER_10

It's obstinate buffalo is called an obstinacy.

SPEAKER_04

What? No, you guys are the obstinate. Like.

SPEAKER_10

Yes.

SPEAKER_04

I did draw, please. Three little heart. I did draw three little hearts at the bottom.

SPEAKER_10

Absolutely, Daphne. A group of buffalo is called an obstinacy.

SPEAKER_04

Oh my god. Okay. Well, now I'll commit that to memory.

SPEAKER_07

Even when she's not trying, she'll 100% perfectly nail it.

SPEAKER_09

Yeah. No, but I think I I love the overlap of annoyance and gang.

SPEAKER_07

Yeah, we have a little nice crossover there.

SPEAKER_10

Paik 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_07

Yeah. It's too late to figure something else out, so let's see. I've been there before.

SPEAKER_04

Yep. I'm already kind of working on my no, I don't have to work on a game.

SPEAKER_10

You don't ever again?

SPEAKER_04

No, we're gonna have Levi here in two weeks. So I don't have to do it.

SPEAKER_10

But they can stop streaming.

SPEAKER_04

If they can stop streaming long enough.

SPEAKER_10

Probably stream the podcast. They might just stream the podcast.

SPEAKER_04

Um 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_10

So 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_03

Oh, you're something.

SPEAKER_09

Okay, we were the annoyance.

SPEAKER_10

Jerry, you have some feedback, or not you, but uh, there is some feedback. You've got to share it.

SPEAKER_07

Jerry, you have some feedback. You have some thoughts. We we don't have a like suggestion box, so this is your time.

SPEAKER_09

Yes, it's my like I wasn't given enough time earlier. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

I 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_10

Um 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_04

Oh my god. All right, Jerry, what do you got?

SPEAKER_09

Both of these are from my brother Tim.

SPEAKER_04

We know that you're his favorite already.

SPEAKER_10

No. He actually said that Jerry's his least favorite. It's a little bit weird.

SPEAKER_09

Yeah. 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_10

Yeah, the other uh besides the Poseidon's kiss, it was the running out of toilet paper or not having toilet paper. Yeah.

SPEAKER_09

Yeah. 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_04

I 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_07

Okay. And and with Rob as well, if you can.

SPEAKER_09

Yeah. I still trying to wrap my head around the fact that those are two different people.

SPEAKER_10

I 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_04

Because 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_07

I'm already tired from just that.

SPEAKER_04

See?

SPEAKER_09

Okay. 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_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_09

Jeff, 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_10

The correct the answer, Tim, is that we're all terrified. Yes.

SPEAKER_04

You're terrified. What? What are you afraid of?

SPEAKER_10

Getting the look. Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_09

No, 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_04

No, we're far beyond that, Jerry.

SPEAKER_10

Yes. I'm worried that she's gonna like use my middle name or something like that.

SPEAKER_04

I know what it is. You can't use my middle name.

SPEAKER_07

Yeah, you know what she does with those. Yes.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_09

And you can't use my middle name.

SPEAKER_07

No.

SPEAKER_04

Because you don't have one. That's correct. But I know Jeff's and I know Jay uh Peig's.

SPEAKER_07

You don't let her have your middle name. She'll pull up your dead relatives online.

SPEAKER_04

No, I didn't! That was ridiculous.

SPEAKER_09

That was so insane. So insane!

SPEAKER_04

That was a test one night. That's when I learned that AI knows way too much.

SPEAKER_09

Yeah, but thank you, Tim.

SPEAKER_04

Thank you so much, Tim.

SPEAKER_09

Yes.

SPEAKER_04

If 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.
