I would be remiss if I didn't I know this we our schedules a little messed up because of the holidays But I do want to wish I know that this is wabu It's a little belated at this point, but this is wabu's most favorite is holiday So I do want to wish you a very belated happy holidays. Thank you so much. Yeah, do you know which holiday I'm referring to I Thought I did but I guess not I thought you're just doing a funny bit about high-low crimpus No, no your favorite holiday is college football ball season Baby everybody knows this if you've been listening People do know that I'm well known for being a huge college football fan football fan at all particularly college Who's the Heisman favorite right now?

Who's your who thinks gonna take home the big potato? Yeah, yeah, I mean it is an individual player award about a team Oh, that's his name buddy. Oh his name is University You're getting name these days right? Okay.

Well if you've listened to the show for the last three years first of all God bless you Second of all you know that this Season brings about one very special tradition is that is another third annual is it bowling? Moly you got it, baby Bully moly is a fun-lived game that Wilder's very good at it where I read him off some names of some real Absolutely real college football bowl games And there's one little stinker in there one little fakey that I snuck in like a little stinker I am and he has to try and sniff out the imposter So I got to we got two rounds for you today because there are a lot of buck ass wild bowl game names going on this year Are you ready to play third annual the 2021 22? edition of bully moly yes, I am okay round one so there's gonna be five in each five in each and you have to Just to spot the sticker spot the stinker not necessarily a worst name, but also not a better correct. Yes, okay So I'm gonna hit you with them and I have to kind of I kind of sort of have to pause because otherwise you might think I'm just You might think it's just one thing okay, so first the pubg mobile, New Mexico bowl Second radiance technology independence bowl third Jimmy Kimmel LA ball presented by stifle fuck I know that that's probably real, but it makes me very mad fourth cocoa puff cotton bowl classic and Fifth Myrtle Beach Bowl presented by tax act so which of those I?

Want to say cocoa cocoa puff bowl is not real okay the cocoa buff cocoa puff cotton bowl classic Is that your final answer you're locking that one in you are correct? Oh? That might be your first ever correct answer That is a fact maybe you said I was good at this game the people want me to bring it so I've done broad hit I would just love to jump in real quick on the Jimmy Kimmel LA bowl presented by stifle Let me get oh let me get a hand in there coach. Yeah athletes are going down like crazy by this rate I'll be playing for the Lakers just like I wanted to be oh, I was a ten year old kid Yeah, that's it okay neck round two ready.

Mm-hmm got a great It's a good start, but this one I think is a little bit more challenging sure the Saturday bowl presented by TGI Fridays The Frisco football classic presented by Ryan Ryan my bud What do you put up to wrong guy that San Diego County Credit Union holiday bowl? This one okay wasabi Fenway Bowl No, that's neither made up nor does it exist and then the Barstool Sports, Arizona bowl. Oh my god Barstool Sports can get fucked royally I want to say Is it that Saturday TGI Friday one that seems too dumb to be real Incredible Wilder goes to an oh on this year's bowling. It is in fact the Saturday Bowl presented by TGI Friday's Which does mean that both the Frisco football classic presented by Ryan.

I don't know Ryan is but that's right and then Wasabi Fenway Bowl Wasabi that's a good order at the Pokeplace down the street the wasabi Fenway Bowl Oh, yeah, it's like what is just a ton of crab and there's like it's a ball of wasabi only oh Mixed with Sam Adams because of Fennelow Wow so 2 and 0 a perfect 2021 2022 bowl season for Wabu congratulations on your victories there. Thank you. Thank you so much I've been practicing quite a talent you have there a talent you see is Okay, yeah go on yeah take it you go on I didn't mean to slow you down a talent that he has which he could take if he so pleased to a show that's right folks Talent show is today's episode sure shit is that's the topic. So have you let's start off with it Just so obvious one is talents right like that.

Have you ever been in a talent of this show have I been in one? Yeah, yes, I've actually been in several but they're all sort of the same several Well at the adult camp that I'm able to go to there's a talent show I see I see okay You know I do I do my thing from his congeniality where I rub the rims of glasses and make a song real quick Where does that one go very pretty good? I think it's not impressive, but I don't care about it Yeah, the rims water classes. Can I just while we're doing this fire some off real quick?

I'm my dearest my beloved texted me when she heard we were doing this first thing she said was Let me get this right Ventriloquist very quite lit. I'm so sorry to disagree. That's actually very not quite lit go ahead and pop intro Quest yeah ventriloquist I don't care if you're good at it if it talents so weird that you're good at it makes me uncomfortable I don't like that. Yeah, I thought about that and like I was thinking like ventriloquist maybe the most Borderline of the merit right because there's no like people people complain people complain about like, you know like Improv but like there is good improv somewhere.

I don't know if there's any amount of good ventriloquist that I mean It's just you have to be so you have to be very talented in two ways Right like you have to be funny as a comedian, but you also have to be funny You have to be good at being a ventriloquist I assume they're all funny right? They're like not you have some very little like American Idol ventriloquist edition and it's just people singing really well But without moving their mouth. Oh, I hate it. I hate it because at the end of the day Whether you're doing like a stand-up thing or whatever weird thing You just said the other day if you were good at it if you were really good at it You probably wouldn't need the little toy huh with you on stage.

Oh, you go you go and you you cause mischief in public, right? Yeah, so that's it's a big note. She also did say tap dancing though, and I do want to give tap dancing a two I think sometimes a tablet I was gonna give tap dancing a two She said tricks with animals also which I want to give a very quite lit Yeah, animal trick, baby Yeah, animal tricks fine Even if it's lame if you brought like the cuter the animal the less I care if it's the lame trick right if you bring up The cute animal is the trick you bring up your little golden tree for pup and you go paw and you put it out and you walk off stage You're still getting a standing ovation from me I mean that's pretty lame, but I see I catch the point since we're animal tricks Can we just go because I do feel like a prime sort of modern talent show situation that we often get is the NBA halftime shows Are rife with like oh Talent show people where do we put a person who shoots a bow with their foot? That's a very not quite like I don't want to look at it I'm nervous about where it's gonna go.

Yeah, football is horrible if we're gonna explore the the Are we gonna have any other categories besides talents? I had I had a host. Yeah host Which is by the way the only situation that I've been in a talent show is I was the MC of my eighth grade talent show Okay, and they would happen they just there was one person left who didn't have any talents no no no no no no I audition for it won the audition. Thank you very much.

You auditioned for it. Did you? Yeah, you had to seen from like good fellas you had to know you had to I mean I mean it was actually now that I'm saying it out loud like quite rigorous for like them because also I'm lying It's not eighth grade. It was sixth grade because I was in elementary school I remember that much and barely talking sixth grade they had me right they had people write out intros like how okay?

If you want to be the MC right sixth grade was elementary school for you Yeah, we didn't some some people's end elementary at fifth But my my zone was six you know performed at my fifth grade talent show who Danielle Haim? She was very good. Oh, yeah, I mean Haim is a bonus point. I think probably yeah, we didn't know she was so shy We didn't even know she talked little on saying what she I was gonna say did you juggle or what?

Juggling I don't I'm not gonna stand here and let you give juggling very not quite let though I won't do it bro put it into that's fine. I got it's interactive toss me toss him in you know what I mean I don't I mean it's fine toss me as a very juggling is very not quite yet horrible I also have a another I mean another category setting elementary school. I think is it I think is a two or a one It might be a two that feels like are your parents there? I feel like parents were there yeah Yeah, my mom was my mom was there to watch me fucking host, which is so funny I'm gonna get in my head if my mama is watching me I there's this very distinct moment.

I had that is less cool now But as a kid it was seemed very cool is there was a lot of chatter happening during acts at this town show that I hosted and A teacher came up to me and said could you please ask the crowd to be quiet during the acts? And I told them to shut up I said hey everybody shut up and it was like very tense for a moment And then my mom yelled from the back that's my boy and it really sliced the tension So mom had a big assist on that one because I think if she doesn't do that It's like who's this little prick he is I would prefer to the other way around okay? I have another I have another category actually it may prize cuz sometimes there's a prize prize yeah Because like America's Got Talent is a talent show right that is I suppose that's true And I think I want to put no prize actually a very pretty good borderline very quite lit I sort of don't need or want a prize The problem with that is it does open up a little bit of a wider pool for talent in a bad way if there's no prize You mean if there's no prize there's nothing on the line you're not gonna you know It's gonna be like I'm gonna win I'm only right or so I can maybe win even though I'm only medium good at right building a table in 60 Seconds where you put that building table from scratch in 60 seconds time building Scratch like you bring it a tree a tree. Yeah, bro.

You bring it a tree you hack it to bits you build a table out of it Oh, I mean yeah, I mean yeah, I can't I can't argue with that if you did I'm gonna say time building cuz I actually do think that's tight. I'll tell you what's not tight to me You ever excuse Rubik's cube exactly right there. It's time. Yes.

Oh my god. It's memory guys I could learn to memorize that if I want it to right yeah, but I don't cuz I'm not a fucking virgin Dude, that's so stupid. Yeah, okay singing is a very pretty good. I think yeah Yeah, because if you're so good at it, I'll hear it, but if you're not so good at it be gone.

Yeah, I Same for music and gently yeah, I'm just singing slash music. I think stand up is a two. Yeah Just con't just covers improv to oh, yeah, okay. Well, yeah, okay.

Yeah, okay I like comedians occasionally there's there are times yeah, that person's funny and pleasant it doesn't happen very often Well and really to be honest my head the best stand up at a talent show is somebody who does not regularly do comedy You know like somebody who's who's like it's a school talent show so none of these people are comedians and and like this is just somebody who's like maybe kind of an awkward kid and He comes up and like has a couple of good bits And it's great because that allows you to be like that specific situation Allows you to be like very hyper local with your bits Which is great, you know like you could be like you could come up and like do a fart noise and be like what am I miss crepe key? Oh god my crepe key farts am I right and the crowd just fucking lose That's where camp talent show shines. It also helps when you got you got the awkward person doing something that they don't normally do and you Got like a super supportive crowd. You know what I mean?

Yeah, okay? I think a bonus point. Yeah, I did when I was a summer day camp counselor And we did kind of a little talent show one week I just did the national anthem with my little kazoo noise I make me Yeah, it was pretty good merit. It was pretty good like 30 seconds that everyone's like Yeah, dude, I said everyone's Did we can't do we don't know where like in America, bro?

Well, this world on hold on hold on this was let me set the scene for you No, it's never been cool to like America first of all. This was like six years ago second of all it was during Olympics summer Okay, so we were all kind of full. Yeah, we were all these colors don't run and we were all is the Olympics a talent show No, it's absolutely not that's my competing to be the best at something. You know, that's like saying show their talents This is my talent the triathlon.

No, that's like any competition is a fucking talent show. That's stupid. What about dancing? I kind of want to give it a three dancing Three I mean, okay, we have to have dancing at two but and so maybe just dancing in general is it too?

What like yeah, that's I don't know any I've never really seen a dance flop Do you know what I mean? Like anybody? Yeah, we're also seen someone just do a do like come up and do a dance Like I see that when there's that you're at a party or a bar as music Well, I've seen like you know, like there's like tap dancing is like a performative dance and then there's like, you know Like oh my god somebody came up and just like cut like a quick like three minutes of like legit ballet imagine Oh, god, bro. That was the main thing I could possibly fathom.

Oh my god. This guy likes juggling more than ballet How's a fucking you take that to the bank uncultured? Can you be what a dipshit absolute dipshit the fucking stoners on the quad could juggle you asshole? Ballet look, I'm not saying it's not hard to do.

I couldn't do it. It's so boring. You're fucking boring, dude I gotta I got a very quite late host for you Michael Showalter from Wet Hot American Summer Yeah, yeah, yeah, if you don't know what we're talking about I went to camp so long ago We had arts and forts and crafts arts and parts of craft bonus point Yeah big time honestly, so like you should just watch that movie If you haven't seen it or re-watch it if you haven't seen it lately But like you can just YouTube like all of that and it would be fine and you don't need any context for it It'll still be so funny boxing It's a two to you I seen it be cool at a talent show yes Okay, cuz I think some beatboxing is cool, but I just think that the fucking floor is so low What do we put like stunts? How do you mean somebody like swallow alive goldfish or you're like for this portion of the talent show?

I did you know company meet next door to the empty stadium with 20 cars? Next to each other. I'm gonna hop over him right. I'm gonna do an evil.

Can evil. I where do we put that like danger? What if a danger? It's very lit bro.

Yeah, it's cuz dangerous boys. Yeah, it's where we put danger. He says it's gotta be this isn't really a talent But one time in like fifth grade we had an assembly Yeah, I think about the assemblies you went to in like elementary school and how they were non-educational and didn't make a lick of Sense mm-hmm we had one where this guy came who was like a tennis pro and I don't remember the point of it But I do remember at the end he was like y'all want to see me serve this ball over a hundred miles an hour and of course crowd Those fuckers they did bonkers. Yeah, and I swear to God smoke came off that ball that you hammered it against it.

It was awesome What about for demerits over five minutes? Oh my god My time is so precious. Honestly. Can we say over like three minutes?

Like what is what is four minutes long? That's gonna get you nothing. I think three minutes is like tight guys. Yeah, I was Please keep it tight.

I had about a hundred ideas in that camera or anyone now. Okay prize cash is the king right cash is king That's three mm-hmm I'll tell you what's not what's it to me is like any and this goes for any prize cash that you can only spend some places You know like scholarship money or like here's a five thousand dollars that you get to donate to any charity of your choice Like that is cool kind of but I would just like for you to write me a thing I don't even want I don't want you to tell me how to spend like what if it's like oh your prize is you win a year of Two Jeff right is yeah, that is not a prize that's a curse sucks. Yeah, so is that a one then cash cash can that come in spent someplace? You come out there.

What about William Tell? Oh? I would call that projectiles because you got Yeah, you got knives you got maybe maybe depending on the situation you've got like a sharpshooter. Oh fuck yeah, and I think Volunteers is a very quite lit.

I do like a volunteer I don't want to be the volunteer, but I'd love for someone to get up there and be a volunteer. Okay, all right fine Yeah volunteer Where do we where we got magic dude? Yeah, I was about to say it's a two yeah, I agree cuz sometimes no shit Sometimes stage magic does blow my ass up Well live magic is always good if you are prepared to see live magic I will not stand for this narrative of like all magic is stupid magic is cool as fuck You just have to be ready for it if someone comes up to you and tries to do magic you can go die Yeah, agreed and I and I yeah, I fully agree with that I think people are so corny when they say like magic is wack like they sounds like they've never seen magic It's not yeah, it sounds like they're just talking about magic you idiot Yeah, they're talking about like when I think Kyle gas in saving silverman tries to hit on a man to pee by doing like Magic pickup lines like yes that is corny and also I don't think that has ever happened. I already know it's never once occur Host I'm gonna put me as a two.

I think I'm a I think I'm a two. I'm gonna give me some credit there trophy No, no, no, no, no, no, no, but us as a two and all it's me very quite late you is very not quite letting we even out to it too Trophy or a medal is the prize was that one? I don't I want glory or nothing bro a medal no matter what is even the Olympics? I don't want what am I gonna do with that you don't want an Olympic medal?

I want it to be an NFT Oh my god room anymore bro. Listen the digital age and put it in the cloud This thing idiot Where do you put things when you receive an item that isn't immediately obvious where to put it? What the fuck do you do with it? We have we've been speaking of fucking curses.

We've been given we've been given a curse Our apartment has two huge storage rooms and so now what happens we say no to nothing? We're like well, we'll put it in storage room, you know, we don't throw anything away It's like well, we'll just put it in storage room. Maybe we'll leave it later and now any time we're like thinking about moving to a different apartment Well, what are we gonna do with all that shit storage room? I mean, we can't leave I have a fucking I have a fucking Fog machine that I picked up off the sidewalk.

That's in there like why you know what I tell you we're not in college anymore You can't do that anymore. No, no, no, it said your adult You don't get to just take things off the street that you think are cool that aside that said free so I Took it. I'm you know, we saw what maybe Come on a fog machine we took just cuz it was there I know oh perfect. There's an exit sign in the dumpster go get it out Yeah, I mean I I we still got Paris and she was a she was a dumpster fine as well Yeah, yeah, it's true.

It's when you if that's who cleans the streets. We don't need streets We just need more college students. They'll pick up all manner of trash Whatever it's true fucking garbage. It's like up like you stop being stupid.

Wasn't age when you just stop being so fucking stupid We're not at it yet for sure. Perhaps our peers are no. Yeah, I can't tell I can't tell I mean There's certain there's phases right there's pick up everything every single garbage that you see phase like you said exit signs and what not You think you're being smart to you like oh, I just saved the 1750. Okay, so trophy your medal is a one for wilder Opportunity is a two to me love to know calm has 29 winning talents.

I'm gonna read them to you Let's just quickly give our okay, okay, okay lip syncing very not quite let yeah athletic talent That's something right you hacky sack for a long time. You bounce a soccer ball. That's fine That's a two to me like I'm gonna come up in max bench or something like that That's fine. I think athletic talent if you're able to contain it within a small area Ranges from very quite lit to very pretty good.

I can't imagine someone doing something on stage It's like a cool thing like a flip what if you just do a flip a stick stood there and you just jumped up into one flip You've packed so much power into just like under 10 seconds the efficiency rating on that shit. Yeah, you've that's it You've you've killed it what hime did over the course of two minutes and 45 seconds You doubled in fucking eight seconds, but athletic talent in general I think it's a two because your first example is fucking hacky sack and that is so supremely lame that I can't even begin to Fathom it so keep going perform a skit very not quite live bro. Jesus Christ holy smokes Recite poetry it better be good. I'm not gonna sit here and be like no poetry right right But it has to be so fucking tight keep it so tight.

Yeah, it's yeah It's yeah, it's that is high floor such a high ceiling such a low floor also high ceiling low floor hula hoop That's another kind of NBA halftime show there's those people that come out and do fucking step up I'm about the chair thing that they do when they just stack a million chairs and then climb oh height height stuff Yeah, that's what is that a two it scares the shit? Really you just act like a hundred like little women on top of each other You know what I mean with just a bunch of people stand on each other shoulders and one big line How about they put a big trench coat over the clip of March on Lynch what he's it's the woman on the unicycle Flipping on to her head and he's just losing his mind. That's a that's fucking big money Yeah, hi that includes like tight rep walking and all kinds of cool shit No, I do think that this next one Love to know calm has a two for me show the world some yo-yo tricks show the world No, dude. Yo-yo tricks yo-yo Are you telling me you wouldn't even get a little bit into it if someone's yelling and yo-in?

No, dude, I don't think I can I tell you you walk in the dog? Let me tell you something I would say this about very few things I think I've seen every yo-yo trick I don't think you're gonna do a yo-yo trick that really on the streets today on The scene are innovating the yo-yo world if he did around the world one time. I would stand up and boo Like we all done those what's around the world. It's when you just like you give it a swing it around Yeah, dude, you gotta yeah, you hit a full fucking 360 on the bitch Yeah, I did what age where we win the yo-yo trend that was a thing in our life I feel like fifth fourth grade.

Yeah, yo-yo came back for a minute And you had fuck they were some lighten up and they had bearings in them. She was sick. Okay, hold a fashion runway show I will say if you made it out of stuff you acquired that day. That's pretty cool Fashion show is it too?

Yeah fine fine Celebrity impersonations because gonna go under comedy. I don't want it. It's a clear. It's a one for sure display some art No, sorry.

What is that you just hold it up? Yeah, I made this that sucks You know what let me improve that what if you're if you're in the door space line the walls of the space with someone's art Okay, I mean how about what I'm not just wait. Let me fucking hit you. Let me take that and raise it dude Get a little fucking Bob Ross action.

Oh, yeah Under three minutes we're like I'm gonna I'm gonna quick just whip out a quick landscape. No sweat Okay, you're not talking about like everyone doing it you're not talking about doing a paint night No, that's too much because then you're like okay. That's gonna take like 45 minutes getting everyone there paints and stuff But if you're just like speed painting that's a thing speed I think speed doing it a normal thing quickly is good It's a bonus point. Yeah, like you can do just about any task But if you do it really fast, I'm gonna get hyped on it.

Yeah, like check out fast I make a bed. Do you ever see those cup stackers remember cups? Remember when cups was a thing? What do you mean?

There's cup stacking and unsteads are still a thing bud, but but have you seen the stacking? No, I've seen bottle flipping is that's no relevant very not quite lit. We are so I hate this is so old We're just a couple old-ass fogies talking about yeah, the young the youngins bro This is swim your way to talent show victory. What I suppose if this is taking place next to a pool You go they go next to take the stage and they put the spotlight and they say Joe and you go where's Joe?

It's pilots on stage Where's Joe and then you hear from behind you check it out guys? I mean the pool and Joe's backstrokes pool pool is athletic talent and that one sucks What I would like is if they were like this is just here's what I would like this would really get me because I just want innovation I would love to be like exactly what you just said but instead of Joe's behind you in the pool They say now we're gonna cut to a live fee of Joe and they and they drop like a thing and there's a quote live feed And it is so obviously not a live fee like it's a different time of day and Joe's like I'm gonna do all this like does a magic show But it's clearly doctored now Joe's got me in his pocket. Yeah, you like deception Yeah, or even like a clear like a parody of deception. I don't care if Joe's in the fucking pool Joe never shuts up about being in the pool.

I don't care about Joe the pool. Yeah I wish he just live in there like a little bit because Joe is just swimming back and forth. Yeah waterlogged ass bitch Joe Joe Joe is at the mirror at Joe. I stupid ass bitch jump rope It's nothing how good how eventually like what's those ceiling on that?

It's tough. It does have a low ceiling doing cool ones Kind of but if you I mean you want to talk about doing a flip you ever see somebody do like a fucking Like some double Dutch and then they like hit on their hands. You know I'm talking about oh I think I do think it's it I think jump rope a two what about once people are blindfolded is blindfolded bonus point Yeah, I think anything's gonna be better blindfolded except for nobody cares if you're doing your rubric's cute blindfold either You just memorize a pattern. It's fine right or just like something that you don't need to be blindfolded to do singing Honestly, that would be so good if they came out and then had did some big show of someone blindfolding them and then just saying like Yankee Dood dandy Domino's when they were like check out how fast our guys make boxes making pizza boxes fast.

We talked about fast fast is great Yeah, but that's that in particular I mean if someone was like watch me fold these 30 pizza boxes. I'd be like okay I mean I'm not gonna that's not gonna give you my seat, you know It's too bad we didn't do this episode like right in the middle of quarantine because I bet people will be coming up with some Innovative things well stick around but quarantine might be right best to be right on the corner I honestly by the time this episode comes out we might be in the middle of it. Yeah. Yeah, but from December 23rd Yeah, a little bit of a little time stamp on this one so they know what about puppet show That one I can't fathom it being any good at all.

Yeah, I mean that's what the question more or less this is braid some hair now What if you took some from the audience? I'm just gonna help improve this like I'm doing for family dot Lovedo calm guys available if you guys want to consult it What if you took some from the audience and braided their hair in a cool thing like a Katniss braid I still think it sucks What about bouncing back and forth around the stage on a wheelie on a bike? That feels like an athletic talent I do think that's cool. I like it.

I think any bike or unicycle trick I'm into what about like a demonstration of some I guess that's what this all is It's all a demonstration bro. Like what if you got like with your dank chef and you got incredible knife skills And you're just gonna set up a little thing and you know check out how quickly I cut the carri It's all that time for me. I guess yeah knife knife skills. I think is it.

I think it's a two I don't know that I'm gonna get really blasted about that But I think it's neat one thing that goes into athletic talent I think what is so tight and I actually think you've recently sent me a video of this But I've seen it also at halftime shows any fucking martial arts stuff can be really fucking cool Oh sure the people that like jump Somehow 40 feet off the ground like they get one boost from somebody and they jump and then like that's gymnastics I guess gymnastics is a very quite lit talent. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah I'll gandalf the white wizard boy will occasionally blow a smoke ring and it's a pirate ship. Mm-hmm.

What if you did that? No, that's not it lose my fucking mind. Yeah, but nobody can do that. That's like if you said what if somebody I did it in the documentary the Lord of the Rings.

Uh-huh. That's like what somebody turned my water into wine Well, yeah, that would be I bet Jesus would really just kick ass or down real magic is very quite lit Imagine Talent show and someone starts doing like card tricks and then somebody else is like I thought this was gonna be real magic What is this fucking fake magic bullshit? No wait, what do we think about a monologue? That's like a one.

Oh my god I'm past dude. That's acting memory and um obviously you remember because it's the plot of the movie the prestige What about that? What about what you're cloning yourself constantly? You can't just keep talking about real magic That's a thing that people came to see him do yes.

Yes I guess they didn't know he was cloning himself that sort of and also we can't just keep thinking of different magics We already put magic in it too. I don't want to tell you what a bad sword fight Hoard fight is that a talent? Yeah, like a like a two people are gonna do like a cool like choreographed I guess that's a does that count as a dance? I think it's it's somewhere between dance and athletic talent in it.

Yeah I'm a let's I kind of dip in a host mm-hmm a parent or Teacher because I feel like often talent shows or schools or like camp or whatever. That's oh, yeah Those are just gotten mr. McGee over there. Yeah, that's like that was so good.

Yeah, that feels like a one right? I'll give you my personal favorite TV host pom-a-lock me. She should be very quiet lit a celebrity I guess it depends on the context, huh? Like if I care yeah, so that is it too I think I did list a specific celebrity marshall into what we were talking about because he is going to react so big to everything Yeah, people that are excitable are gonna be great.

Is there a talent you could display about like knowledge? Like you're like quiz me. Yeah, you could but I think it'd be dumb any question What's the capital of Bulgaria classic talent show thing is like I'm gonna recite all the state capitals in alphabetical order So fucking lame reciting something Reciting something you memorized. Yeah, there is a there's an episode of um There's an episode of Malcolm in the middle where his talent is that he has a photographic memory So he has two people at the same time show him their credit cards and memorizes their credit card numbers in like 10 seconds Where does that go?

That's goes into scam, which I think is not very very not quite let come on at least very good For me the talent to be scamming me. What about a video for talent show for your talent? What'd it be a video of you doing the town? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, I kind of like a short film What's that to know it's it has to be so fucking funny.
