TRANSCRIPT · AUTO-GENERATED

So welcome back to Talking Nonsense. I'm your host this week, Christopher, and I'm with Kyle. Why do you say host this week? We're the hosts every episode.

Anyway, so our host changes every week. Anyway, welcome back. The person who does an intro usually changes every week. Yeah.

Before we start, I just wanted to say I'm a little under the weather if you can't tell. I was talking to Fred. I was going to say, oh, it's my birthday by the way. Well, it's past already.

By the time I listen to this, it's already like two weeks after my birthday. I thought that's what you're going to know. My birthday was July 31st for all of you that didn't say happy birthday to me. I'm just kidding.

Happy birthday. I'm not one of those people. You said it's me on July 30th. You tried to play it off.

I knew it. I knew it. You wanted to know why I did that though? Why?

Why I said happy birthday on the 30th? Why? Because I was checking my Facebook and I actually saw someone say happy birthday to you. I was like, oh, yeah, because that's all my Filipino cousins.

Yeah. So it's already 31 over there for them. And I was like, you know what? I've got 50, 50 chance of getting this right.

So let me just. Just for our listeners. Chris texted me on July 30th, which is not my birthday. He says day before.

Yeah. He says happy birthday. Hope you have a good day. Yeah.

I straight up text him. Thank you. L L L, but it's tomorrow and this will try to play it out. I was so hard.

He tried so hard. He was like, oh, yeah, I know. I'm just really busy tomorrow. That's why I wanted to say it today.

I was actually really busy that like that. Pong day though at work. No, I literally told like all my friends. Wow, wow.

I hate you. They're like, what the fuck is he busy with? I was like, I don't know. He tried to play it off.

Wow. I didn't tell all my friends. I only told one person in the just and just was like, that's lame. Busy.

I actually was busy though. No, it's cool. It's fine. At least you said happy birthday.

Thank you. It's the thought that counts. Talking a lot about my birthday. Yeah.

Would you rather have your cousin say happy birthday to you to a day earlier or day after day earlier? Actually, either way sucks. No, I'm just a day earlier for sure. Yeah.

That was a good segue into what this episode's about. Right. Thank you. That was a good one.

So if you guys didn't catch that, we basically don't have a topic. Again, for this episode. Surprise. Yeah.

We're actually going to just play a few games. We're going to play, would you rather? And we're going to play, was it $1 million? Or $1 million?

But I thought it was $10 million. But we could do whatever amount. But yeah. And if you guys don't know what would you rather is, I'm not going to explain it.

Look at that. Oh, no. The other one is basically what happens is not going to explain that. Look at that.

I actually don't know if we need to mention that because Ruth's your team actually produced cards for this game. So I don't know if we actually need to say this is by them or not. Because I actually don't know. Well, we're not that big yet.

So it's OK. It's my recipe. So look it up. Just to say that.

And actually wanted to do like smash Mary kill too. OK. Yeah. Just for fun.

All right. Cool. But yeah, let's just jump into it. Do you have or like some questions lined up already?

I was actually going to Google some. I was just going to ask us or to give a would you rather and Catherine gave me some. OK. Shout out to you, Catherine.

Thank you very much. She asks would you rather eat a homeless man's toe or drink a smoothie of fish eyes? Wait, like eat it, like consume it or like just take a bite, spit it out. I just for sure.

She didn't clarify the text. But I guess for the sake of this question, I would say like consume it because you would have to consume the smoothie of fish eyes. How big is the smoothie though? We'll do a we'll do a Trento.

Oh, God. I know. Fish eyes. How big is the toe?

Pinky toe. What we talking about? Homeless pants. We'll do the.

I would say the big toe. I would say the big toe. Just because I feel like that's the equivalent of like growth. How dirty is this homeless man?

I don't know. See, I don't know man. Like are we talking about homeless man in China? Which is like pretty pretty or like homeless man like like in New York City because I feel like both I feel like a pretty bad.

I feel like China is worse though. Oh yeah, maybe. But that's really racist. I know right.

It's kind of like that. Sorry, it's all changed. We were just out there. Disclaimer by the way.

You guys know our whole stick. This is just all our own opinions. We keep forgetting. Yeah.

But I feel like we don't have to say it every time. I feel like you can just cut the good one from a premium. I know right. Just make it easier on yourself.

So big hands toe. Homeless man toe. Homeless man toe big toe. Right.

Or a trency of like fish eyes. Honestly. Honestly. I don't know my answer.

Yeah, let me answer first. Okay. Okay. I don't know though because a big toe could have diseases.

I mean fish eyes could too. Yeah. Oh man. I think I'm gonna have to go with.

Well, before you answer, let me just. So for the fish eyes it's like straight raw fish. They just like just calm, cut it up. Like just like it wasn't like clean or anything.

Right. So the blood's in there too. I'm gonna have to go with homelessness. No.

Just because it's one thing. It's not that big. I could probably like chew it down in one swivel and swipe and just be done with it. Yeah.

Okay. I was gonna go with fish eyes. Why? Like just one doing it's like human body part.

Yeah. Like kind of like that's enough to put me like out of it. But like just the idea like chewing on a nail. You know, and just like like having all that in your mouth.

Yeah. That's the stuff saying I know it's pretty bad. So I would go with the fish eyes because I feel like with that at least I can like I feel like it will go down easier. Because it's like slimy already.

You know, like since it's a smoothie there might be a chance of a good ingredient being in there maybe. Possibly which might out like kind of mask the groatiness. So like that's one. I got one for you.

Okay. Would you rather be able to see 10 minutes into your own future or 10 minutes into the future of anyone but yourself? Oh man. Probably 10 minutes into the future of someone other than me.

Really? Yeah. Because it's like what if the one time you do see into your own future? It's like the 10 minutes before you die.

But then why don't you be able to prevent that? I don't know. Like maybe like I like. It is our life set in stone.

Right. What if using the 10 minutes into the future causes your death is the cause of your death right? And try to prevent it but because you try to prevent it that's actually why you died. Yeah.

Well the show that's so raven. Every time she saw a vision and she tried to prevent that vision the reason why it was happened or why it happened was because she tried to prevent it. Like she's always the cause of her vision. Yeah.

You know so that's true. That could happen that way too. Like knowing that just kind of trips me out though. But then so do you think like if you were able to see other people's futures and you tried to like let's say you saw my death would you try to prevent that because what if it works the same way.

Oh sure you're right. I guess the bigger question is why the fuck would you want to see into the future right? If you can't do anything about it. I would only do it for family members but if it was like random stranger.

It's like you about to die in 10 minutes bro. I'd be like 10 dollars. In 10 minutes. In 10 minutes.

You know what I mean? Or like I can make a profession out of it like. You'd be a fortune teller. Yeah.

A 10 minute fortune teller. It's kind of fucked up. Yeah. So I was actually going to be one of mine was like would you rather see into the future or go back into your past and change one thing.

Wait I can only go back once. Yeah. And change one thing. Yeah or you can see into the future.

All the time. Yeah but I mean like obviously to make it not super OP like there would be a condition to using that power. Okay with the condition. I don't know like you're fucking nipples like bleed milk.

Just so you want to abuse your powers. Because that's kind of embarrassing. I don't want to look into the future knowing my fucking nipples are bleeding milk. Just put pads.

You know what? Soak it up. That way you can always look into the future and then the pads will soak up the milk. It's just milk.

Like guys lactate too sometimes I've heard. Really? Do we? I don't know.

I think so. Lactating right now. But um okay aside from that condition I mean like obviously just. Well I'm just saying like the one I can only go back once that's it.

Yeah. Because I feel like if you go back multiple times that's just kind of overpowered. Okay well are we trying to go forward powered or are we just trying to go or like tough decisions here. Tough choices to pick.

You know what I mean? Tough choices to pick. Okay how about this? Go back into the past once.

Or see the future once. And knowing that's like seeing the context of everything why it's happening. Not like you know like how you mentioned in Raven or that's a Raven. Like she tries to prevent it.

But like seeing the future knowing the context of that feature. Knowing why it happens. Yeah. So I'm going to take the past one because looking to the future.

It's not like I could pick a specific thing that I want to look into like oh well I win a million dollars and how am I going to win it. You know what I mean? Like I'm just looking to the future and I'm going to see whatever it's going to show me. True.

Going to the past and me being able to change one thing. Yeah I do that. I change like I look up with the water ticket numbers are and go back to buy those numbers and win. Simple as that bro.

Come on. I feel that feel. Yeah. Know how to play the game.

Life. I have that game by the way it's going to cause it over there. Well I guess I didn't answer the first question I asked you about being able to see 10 minutes of your future or someone else. Oh yeah.

I don't want to see mine. You wouldn't want to see it. I would want to see it. I would choose that one.

Because I'm selfish. Yeah. I don't like it about myself. No I'm just I don't want to see mine.

Like if we're going off of the context of that. If you see it and you try to prevent it that's what causes it. Then I would go with see someone else's. But then if we're not going off of that.

Oh you would see your own. Yeah. What else. Would you rather be famous when you are alive and forgotten when you die or unknown when you're alive and famous after you die.

Basically would you rather be you now. Or the other one. I'd probably be the other one. Famous now and forgotten when you die.

No I would rather just be like who I am now. That's what I meant. Famous when I die. Oh yeah.

I said would you rather be you now or the other one. Oh well I mean I didn't know which one was the other one was. The first option. Where I said would you rather be famous and forgotten when you die.

Oh no I was confused. Sorry. I would rather be me and then be famous after I die. I feel like if you do die and no one knows.

I don't know. Well it's not that no one knows you die. You just forgotten. I don't know.

It seems like I think that's worse than just like at least if you pass away there's people that remember you. But if that slowly fades away. Like I don't know. That's just like heartbreaking.

You know what I mean. True. Yeah. Because I would choose the first one.

Just so that I could like if the being famous entitles me to money and you know being able to fight for my family and all that. I'd do that. And then once I'm gone I'm gone. Yeah.

Well like I guess I just believe like I wouldn't say I believe. I guess like there's this condition of the soul you know. Like you have a strong idea basically. Like you it's not that you believe in all that stuff but you're I don't know what I'm saying.

No I sort of I'm not pleased together. Yeah like there I have this strong idea that you basically believe it bro. Yeah I pretty much believe it. Where the condition of the soul is dependent on your afterlife so speak in terms of people like remember you you know.

I mean I mean not to be like oh you need to do something to that people remember you but like if I feel like your soul still lives and for it to live well like it should be remembered you know. You really got to watch Coco on Netflix. Watch Coco on Netflix. Yeah that's the one to try to watch right.

Yeah let's pick somebody. That their whole concept is about that. Like that's the reason why David dead is so important to that culture because it allows for the afterlife to continue on because people remember them if they don't remember them then they pass on they they go away forever. Yeah like they just fade into obscurity.

Yeah but I think that's a deep fear of mine as well. What? Like fading into obscurity. You're dead.

You're not afraid of dying. Well I mean like death is natural like essentially fading into obscurity I mean like it's just I don't know again condition of the soul. Like that's what boys down to at least for me anyway. That's what what?

That's what it boils down to. Oh I thought you said that's what boys down to. What are boys down to do? What is this?

Okay would you rather your shirts be always two size too big or one size too small. There's something easy one for me to shit. If you think logically it's so easy. I'm gonna tell you why it's so easy if you think logically.

Their two sizes bigger wash them and shrink them. Oh you right. You right. So that one I want one size smaller.

You look both. I'm fat. It's just gonna make me look fat. Yeah honestly.

That's what I was worried about. I know that's why I saw it at your base. You're like fuck I don't want to look fat. Then go the other way.

Yeah but one's me knowing that's two sizes is bigger but then you right I could just shrink it. What if you couldn't shrink it? I'm gonna be a butt ass naked. No because I'm go shirtless.

Think logically again just go with a one size small and use that to encourage yourself to lose weight. Oh right. Come on man. Or you just go shirtless all the time.

Walk around. Everyone will see how fat you really are. Isn't that what you not want? Yeah but if I find a girlfriend that way at least I know she loves me for me.

That's true. Good luck finding a girlfriend. Right. Right.

Ooh would you rather live your entire life in a virtual reality where all your wishes are granted or in the real world. Oh shh. In the real world. Really?

Yeah. Because I feel like okay if you live in a virtual reality or an altered reality where everything you want comes true. Whatever joy you have would be so fake. And knowing that makes it feel disingenuous.

And to me that's like the glass shatters. At least with your set reality. Whatever joy you do find. I mean that's your own.

It's not fake. It's not. Yeah I guess over time you would just get bored of it. Yeah.

That seems like that would be hell too. Like a whole Midas touch thing. Where everything just turned into gold. Fuck man.

It's all gold. It's all like gold. It can't be off anymore. That sucks.

Yeah. Like how that's what you think of. What? I said I like how that's what you think of.

Would you rather get caught singing in the mirror or spying on your crush? Caught singing in the mirror. Sorry. I'm just there's no I'm just no I'm trying to think in my head.

I know it's not your fault. I'm just trying to think what made them think that was a good would you rather like those for me good would you rather is are ones where it's too hard to choose between the two. But that's super easy to choose. Okay.

What would you rather be? Would you rather only be able to whisper or only be able to shout. Only be able to whisper because then I could carry a microphone. It's still not loud enough.

It'll be louder. It'll be slightly louder. I'm just gonna try normal talking. Listen right now.

But I'm not as flex. So I don't know. But I'd rather do that. I would choose a whispering one also.

You do that now. No, just because I don't know how to whisper. Yeah. Sorry.

That's what I meant. You don't know how to whisper. Guys seriously. Chris here does not know how to fucking whisper like this one time we were it was late at night.

We're all out our cousins house sleeping and me and my other me and our other cousins were talking and we're having a session as like I said it's late at night. So we're trying to be quiet. Sorry. Whispering like this.

Right. Oh, that picks it up. I think it did. And Chris comes in here goes guys, what are you talking about?

What are you guys talking about? Same fucking volume. Like no sense of whisper whatsoever. I'm like dude, do you not know how to whisper?

And then he goes, no. He's like, no. Like I have trouble modulating my voice. He really does.

This other time we were in the car. And he's still trying to figure out how to whisper. And he's like, how do you guys whisper? And if you really think about it, it's hard to teach someone how to whisper.

I tried to teach him. I was like, you basically, this is what I thought. Whispering is. You mouth what you're trying to say, but don't say it.

But leave a little air in there. So there is sound. So I was like, you whisper like this. I'm doing it right now.

I'm not here. And he tried. We should be recording this for video. So we could see.

He looks pretty much long story short. He looked dumb. It was just really funny. I'm like, I got this part out.

They're not going to get that story. I'm just like, what the fuck? That's like due for like a family episode. Yeah.

Well, and we need to record our faces so they can actually see it happening. Yes. But yeah, honestly, I don't fucking hate that. I don't know how to whisper, dude.

I don't know how to tell you how to whisper. You just got to whisper. I know. I just need to try it.

But like, what are there times in kindergarten? Or first grade where they tell you to use your quiet voice? And I think I just have any friends to talk to. No, I'm not like a teacher.

It's like why you're in class. I don't know. Yeah. Whatever.

Moving on. Moving on. Would you rather be able to teleport anywhere or be able to read minds? By teleport, anywhere is it by choice?

Or like, I have the ability to teleport anywhere. I just don't have the ability to pick where. No, anywhere. Use it by choice.

Or read minds? Probably read minds. I'd go with read minds. Really?

I'd go with teleport anywhere. Why read minds? So I can play poker and win. I like the idea of knowing what someone's thinking.

Like that's always been intriguing. OK. Let's flip it then. OK.

Would you rather be able to teleport anywhere, but not have a choice to wear your teleporting? Or be able to read minds. But it's constant. You can't turn it off.

Oh, shit. So you hear everybody's thoughts. I like Professor Xavier. Well, I mean, I control it.

I'm talking about like, you couldn't control it at the beginning, right? No, I don't know. But I'm just talking about it. You can't control it, period.

So you're always constantly hearing people's thoughts. Or teleport randomly? Yeah. Oh, yeah.

OK, hold on. Would you teleport every 10 minutes? It was so quick. OK, if I teleport, am I going to teleport?

Like, do you place where I'm not going to die immediately? Yeah, you're never going to die immediately. It's always going to be a safe place you teleport to. But it's every 10 minutes.

I probably go to teleporting then. Yeah, I couldn't deal with the hearing thoughts. Yeah. I was going to, I was thinking, either you can't control where you teleport to.

Or you can only hear thoughts of people who are thinking about doing something bad, like robbing someone or murdering someone. Well, I would take that one then, so I can prevent that. Would you really? Yeah.

You want to take that? No. I think I'd be scared. Like me.

That's fine. I don't know. Yeah, I'm just scared. You're just standing in line here, someone about to rob this bitch.

Nope. Nope. Stop the box. Sorry, I can't hold the fucking thing.

Would you rather be feared by all or loved by all? That's easy, actually. Yeah. Feared by all or loved by all?

Yeah. Loved by all, obviously, right? Yeah, but I think it'd be fun to be feared by everyone. That's true.

But then you would never have friends. True. I could put up my pinky and remember, oh my god. You know, and then they start running around.

I could do the most non-scary thing, and people would be still scared. That seems kind of funny to me. OK. I'm going to get bored of that after like 30 minutes.

You've got two scares. Diabol, right? Hey, you want me to? Oh my god.

No. Shit. What about, um, what? You got one?

Would you rather be an unknown minor league basketball player or a famous professional badminton star? Famous professional badminton star. I'm getting paid, right? I guess.

Oh, yeah. Yeah. Wait, what was the first choice? Unknown minor league basketball player.

Are they getting paid in the minor league, too? Yeah. You're just sitting here just looking at me with the most dumbfounded face ever, just shaking his head like, I don't fucking know. You're asking the wrong guy completely.

Yeah, you're right. Guys, do you know if they get paid? Comment down below. Yeah.

By the way, if you want to play along, post your answers and we'll read them. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Wait, where are they going to post them?

Follow our Instagram. At Talking Nonsense, underswore. After the Nonsense. Yes.

OK. I'll put it in the description. If anybody reads those still. Would you rather be balding but fit or overweight with a full head of hair?

Balding and fit. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

I guess so. Because then eventually once you get fully bald, you can cosplay as like certain characters, like Napa from Dragon Ball Z. True. Or cos I don't know who that is, but OK.

The big guy when they first arrived with Vegeta, he's like, I didn't really watch Dragon Ball Z that much. I know I upset all our anime fans right now. You really, really can't even me. My brother was the one that watched that.

I don't know. I never, I wasn't really that. Do you know what I can do? I do.

I just don't watch that. You're just not too much into it? Yeah. Oh, OK.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Well, yeah. Balding and fit for me. OK. Because of me, like with hair, I feel like if you're overweight or you mean like, yeah, it's there.

What do you do being a fucking hair commercial? Like headshots only? Is that, I mean, at least if you're fit, you can like do stuff. Yeah.

You're right. True. That one was pretty easy for you. I'd go with that one though too.

I don't want to be overweight. No. But, OK, let's flip it again. You can lose the weight.

And have a full head of hair. Or be balding and fit. But get a hell of fat? No, be balding and fit.

Look at how any girl you want. I'm kind of making it even where it's hard for you to choose. Is that even? No, no.

I'm still being balding and fit. Not your girlfriend? Are you kidding me? I am down.

Shame my head. Can I get a girlfriend? Sign me up right now. Right.

So, I'm so desperate. Goddamn it. New app dating app balding and fit. Called B.F.

B.A.F. Called B.F. B.F. Oh, here's one.

Would you rather have a missing finger or have an extra toe? Which finger? Is it the thumb? Yeah, well, no.

You couldn't grab anything. That's what I'm saying. Because it's the thumb that I just have the extra toe. It changes every day.

Does the finger come back? Am I losing a finger every day? Yeah. So, you might lose a thumb.

But I don't say it will be back, but another finger will be missing. Oh, okay. Now one then. Or what?

On the flip side, if you have an extra toe, you'll have like... You can have any girl you want. Or you can have the ability to grab anything with your feet. Like a hand.

Oh, I don't want to do that though. I don't freaking know. I choose the finger one. I lose the finger every day, but it goes back to terrible condition.

At first it was like, but you get two extra toes. I was like, what the fuck would you want? Two extra toes. You're trying to think like, oh, wait, wait, wait.

You're trying to think about six extra toes. I just swing in the deal for you, but I don't... I don't phone a brand new car. I would also go with the missing finger every day.

Yeah. I would want an extra toe. I don't see the purpose of it. You would have to get customized shoes then.

You know, and that probably costs a lot. Yeah. So, true. You're right.

No, thank you. These are long. Okay, would you rather have a clown only? You can see that follows you everywhere.

Fuck that. Hold on. Yeah. I gotta start over.

All right. Would you rather have a clown only? You can see that follows you everywhere and just stands silently in a corner watching you without doing anything or have a real life stalker who dresses like the Ace of Bunny that everyone can see. Damn, that's tough, man.

That's real tough. That everyone can see? A real life stalker. Yeah.

And a bloody costume. Yes. Like, someone's assuming he or she has a knife or is it just like they're stalking me? Oh, no, it doesn't say.

Let's set the conditions. Okay. The Ace of Bunny Guy is just following you. Okay.

Not gonna harm you, not gonna do anything. Neither is the clown. Okay. But only you can see the clown.

Do I know I can only see the clown? Yes. Okay, I'll tell you that one. Yeah.

Okay, you're thinking like, if I don't know, I'm just gonna go crazy. Yeah. Yeah. No, you don't.

Okay, now which is that because I think that's more easy for me mentally to like process. Like, okay, I can only see it. It's only in my head. Whereas like this, like, if it was like, like I didn't know and they were both there.

I'd be like, going insane. What about you? So I'm trying to process what you just said. Like, I mean, like, I feel like, if I know that it's only in my head, I think that's easier for me rather than like, fish is like an actual stalker, you know?

Everyone can see? Yeah. I'm knowing that he's there and everyone else can see him, but he's still following me. Like, eventually that would just like, oh, you just like, why the fuck is he following me?

Yeah, like that would cause me to like, just go insane. I think more quicker than my answer. I mean, I probably go with the cloud too, just so that I know where to see it. Maybe like, I have an imaginary friend.

I mean, I do have one. Yeah, and then one day he's only like smiles. What? Like, I was thinking like one day he just smiles and he sees it.

Oh, like it? Yeah, sharp. I haven't seen it. I haven't seen it yet.

Can you watch that, please? Right now. Yeah, during this episode, sure. No, no, no, no, no, no.

You should be able to put a headphone warning on. Because you're going to scream. Hell yeah, watch the movie. Turn the movie like this.
