Speaker A

We had a lengthy debate in the cab about why horses have horseshoes, resulting in another lengthy discussion around how weird the words hoof, hoof, hoof and hooves.


Speaker A

Chris and I had to look up how to pronounce these words.


Speaker A

Hoof and hooves are.


Speaker A

What other word have you always found sounds weird to you?


Speaker B

Oh, my God.


Speaker B

That's so funny that, yes, we did have a conversation about this in the cabin.


Speaker B

It was a long conversation.


Speaker B

I mean, we probably spent 15 minutes on this whole thing.


Speaker B

But the word that I think sounds weird is onomatopoeia.


Speaker B

See what I did there?


Speaker A

Oh, I love that word.


Speaker A

I do love See what I did there.


Speaker B

Because it's a word that sounds like it is.


Speaker A

Yes.


Speaker B

And what word sounds weird?


Speaker B

Onomatopoeia.


Speaker B

Yes.


Speaker B

100%.


Speaker A

My God.


Speaker A

Oh, my God.


Speaker B

Bad Bunny and Jimmy Fallon held a surprise concert in the New York City subway station this week.


Speaker B

Bunnies notwithstanding, what is the baddest animal in your mind?


Speaker A

Mice.


Speaker B

Oh, yeah.


Speaker B

Yeah.


Speaker A

I just feel like they're run into.


Speaker B

Some badass mice in your day.


Speaker A

You just can't.


Speaker A

They're like.


Speaker A

Even my sister in law was like, we had a mouse kind of cute.


Speaker A

And I was like, no, that's what they want you to think.


Speaker A

They want you to think they're like sneaky bad animals and they will just find a way.


Speaker A

And they freak me out so much.


Speaker A

I hate them.


Speaker A

So that would be my.


Speaker A

The baddest animal.


Speaker A

What's your baddest animal?


Speaker A

Oh, geez.


Speaker B

I hadn't thought about it.


Speaker B

I think I.


Speaker B

I think I probably go with mice too.


Speaker B

I hate mice.


Speaker B

Like mice.


Speaker B

Mice are.


Speaker B

Mice are just terrible, terrible, terrible creatures.


Speaker B

I don't like cats either.


Speaker B

An.


Speaker B

I don't like cats.


Speaker A

Oh, God.


Speaker A

You're gonna.


Speaker A

You gotta be careful.


Speaker A

You can't get into domesticated animals.


Speaker A

Mice are like, you're.


Speaker A

That's okay, you're.


Speaker B

But I had a cat scratch me one time.


Speaker B

It was.


Speaker B

It was.


Speaker B

It was disastrous.


Speaker B

It was.


Speaker A

You get a fever.


Speaker B

So cats are bad animals.


Speaker B

They're badass animals too.


Speaker B

Ann.


Speaker B

Yes, I did get a fever after the cat scratch.


Speaker B

I got a cat scratch disease.


Speaker B

There's a little disease called cat scratch disease, and I got it.


Speaker B

Jesus.


Speaker A

You definitely did.


Speaker A

You definitely did.


Speaker A

I did surprise it out.


Speaker B

I don't remember what it's called.


Speaker B

Somebody can look it up.


Speaker B

But yeah, Scratch disease.


Speaker B

Yeah.


Speaker A

Yeah.


Speaker A

Okay, Chris, if you had to stand in without warning as an extra with an ensemble dance number in a Broadway musical, would you rather do that or 30 minutes of open mic standup at a comedy club without warning.


Speaker A

They're just like, chris, go.


Speaker B

Oh, my God.


Speaker B

I mean, you know.


Speaker B

You know the answer.


Speaker B

30 minutes is a long time.


Speaker B

But I.


Speaker B

I'm definitely choosing the standup because.


Speaker A

Are you.


Speaker B

You know.


Speaker B

Yeah.


Speaker B

I mean, as bad as my dad jokes are, they are nowhere near as bad as my dancing skills.


Speaker B

And so being Broadway dance number, like, no, no.


Speaker B

No one wants.


Speaker A

But you can hide.


Speaker A

Like, that's the thing.


Speaker A

Like, you can hide.


Speaker A

You could, like, kind of be in the background of the dance ensemble dance number and singing, like, stand up.


Speaker A

You're just under the light, man.


Speaker B

Hey, that's okay.


Speaker B

I like to be in the light.


Speaker B

But as Shakira once said, and my hips don't lie.


Speaker B

I'm not hiding.


Speaker B

I'm not hiding.


Speaker B

All right.


Speaker B

The famed Governor's Ball is coming up soon, and its lineup includes the likes of Tyler the Creator, Olivia Rodrigo, and I think it's pronounced Hosier.


Speaker B

I have no idea.


Speaker A

Yeah.


Speaker B

When was the last time you bawled out Cinderella style?


Speaker B

Have you ever ball.


Speaker B

Gone to a ball, Anne?


Speaker A

I guess so.


Speaker A

I.


Speaker A

I, like, had to go to a gala.


Speaker A

Is that like a.


Speaker A

Yeah, gala.


Speaker B

Yeah, Gala will qualify as ball.


Speaker A

I guess that would be the closest thing, but no.


Speaker B

Gala.


Speaker B

What kind of gala was it?


Speaker A

A regatta gala?


Speaker A

It was a fundraiser.


Speaker B

Friend's joke.


Speaker A

What's a regatta gala?
