H.I. #77: Woah, Dude

[@AHumblePear]

Every time HI disappears for a while I get paranoid that it's never coming back. This is how dogs must feel when their humans leave for work.

[@danielcaron2858]

A Humble Pear Its because I subscribed to the podcast. Every time I subscribe to anything it goes on hiatus.

[@willferrous8677]

BURN THE HIATUS-WITCH!

[@AHumblePear]

sine moderamine It is now

[@CatsAndJamRecords]

still true

[@lachlanokeefe8020]

@@CatsAndJamRecords yup, but now forever. Probably. Maybe.

[@andrewphilos]

Oh! Do you guys know the math limerick? There are others, but this one's the most famous. [12+144+20+(3*sqrt(4))]/7+(5*11)=9^2+0 A dozen, a gross, and a score plus three times the square root of four divided by seven plus five times eleven is nine squared and not a bit more. :D

[@williswcy]

Woah, dude that is an awesome limerick

[@IsaiahOdhner]

sq should be sqrt (or √) sq looks like it means square

[@tylerwright538]

limerick god

[@CasualGraph]

wow, that's brilliant

[@ericvicaria8648]

99% thrilled for HI. 1% disappointed at the lack of toy video.

[@michaelbushee3968]

"Your life is important. You've got two or three really important videos to make this year." Was that some sass from Brady? I approve.

[@BrentODell]

To add to what Grey said about Americans not putting the country on mail: years ago I mentioned to a person from Italy that I'd never been out of the USA. He called me a 'typical, arrogant American'. What I think people from Europe have trouble grasping is how FRIGGIN' HUGE the US is. I live in the middle of the country, and the nearest international border is 1,000 km away. That's London to Prague. It's almost as far as Warsaw to Moscow. We can't just hop into a car(or better, some form of mass transit which doesn't generally exist in the US), and cross several countries in a few hours. I have, in the years since, been outside the US, and I highly recommend travel to everyone who can possibly afford it. I think it really makes you appreciate the good AND bad of you home to visit other places. I just hope that people from other places keep in mind that international travel isn't a weekend jaunt for everyone.

[@ericvicaria8648]

"It's not like a religious book." "It's like a fictional book." A description that will spark absolutely no controversy in any way.

[@vegancomicnerd86]

Eric Vicaria I thought the same, hehe.

[@xd_guy894]

Eric Vicaria dang it, passive aggressive atheists

[@speedy01247]

the real problem is the people who purposely make it an issue, not what they said.

[@froidesprit]

At least we aren't aggressive aggressive.

"What if when you die, you find yourself in an alien body, holding a bong, around a bunch of aliens asking you "How was it"?" WOOOOOOAAAH DUDE

[@FaithfulCharity]

I was taking a drink of water when Grey said "Who created the Orcs? Potato."...water may or may not have come out of my nose.

[@andrew10022]

See, I wish I could agree with Grey on books. I absolutely despise digital books. I don't like look at a screen filled with words. Audio books also drive me mad because I'm an extremely fast reader and impatient so I know I could way fast then the guy can talk. I also read very big books ranging from 200-1000 pages. I just like physical books more because I can flip pages and I tend to get books where the pages don't fight me to stay closed like my old math textbooks from school that hated to be opened. I also stare a screen way too much and reading a book is my only way to do something fun that isn't staring at an electronic screen.

[@JohnDoe-dg1dl]

I love plane crash corner!!!! Please don't get rid of it!!

[@Kire1120]

My Limerick was read on the show!

[@courtney-ray]

Post it! Which one was it? Also, i made a another comment on this video inviting ppl to post good submissions that weren't read on air. If folks have some, then you can reply to my other comment with your poem! I'd like to read them!

[@xFruitMachine]

1:07:26 is when they start talking about Sum which is also in the Radiolab episode 'After Life'

[@FistyMcBeef0001]

Literally coughing my ass off while laughing my ass off rn. Can verify, am softmore in college taking a rip as you recommend me that book. Woah, dude.

[@Cobalt360Degrees]

Holy shit. That limerick section is the hardest I've laughed in quite a while. Tims, you knocked it outta the park! xD

[@rhemorigher]

The Easter Bunny hops along on its hind legs carrying a small wicker basket. The basket is magic and that is where the eggs come from. No poopy eggs!

[@astra_m00n]

The Easter Bunny is an actual bunny, to me either yellow or pink and normal bunny size. But in our culture we don't have tooth-fairy versions of stories to make our kids believe with Easter, but more characters that make up the theme for Easter. We did paint and search for eggs in the garden, but you knew that you had to wait upstairs in the morning until the parents had hidden them.

[@hrushikeshraghvendra9899]

brady saying the elf on shelf is real to undermining the easter bunny ,tooth fairy is hilarious

[@PTNLemay]

I imagine the Easter Bunny looks like Peter Rabbit. Not person-like at all, but still able to grasp things in his little paws (like when he needs to hold a basket). Also he doesn't lay the eggs, they just magically appear around him as he hopps around.

[@NSluiter]

After a month of listening, I'm finally caught up! Time to go back to H.I. #1. Bye, be back in a month.

[@CrazyBeardedGamer]

I wish I had a book of all these limericks you've received from listeners. I really enjoyed the short list. I want the long list!

[@planecrashcorner7283]

1:32:13 massive humble brag from Grey

[@liamgriffin218]

Man that whole afterlife thing was cool... maybe Pixar could make a movie on it

[@academicned6236]

As a film major that saw the Star Wars original trilogy at 30 for the first time, it is THAT good

[@GenBloodLust]

The Pret limerick should be on an advert!

[@mrping2603]

Solving a Rubik's Cube whilst listening to HI, great combo apparently, just made my best time: 45 seconds!

[@sgdstb494]

Finally! Thanks guys! :) Nice to see this after a long hard day at work.

[@pauljmorton]

Concerning that memory lobby, wow about when a person dies, is forgotten at some point, but then later on is remembered again? 1:37:40 And Brady does that no problem, but has trouble with clapping to that one Muse song? :P

[@shrededpudding5921]

did you realize that our lord and savior, elon musk follows grey on twitter?

[@frkn411]

The first episode of the hello internet aired in January 31st of 2014, so this is actually a 3 year anniversary but it's not mentioned in the episode.

[@kacee3472]

If the "afterlife" was like that first example, can't wait until I got to the hours listening to hello internet part, that would be great, like a week of just hello internet!

[@TheRiuchando]

55:17 Happy Harry's is the barowner in the watchman, just the first thing that came to mind when you said that

[@TheOneMillionthRoger]

Grey - I'm being a nice friend, I'm being patient Brady - Alright so I have four things Grey - AUGH NO

[@nicholeritchey1383]

Hey, fellow Tims! The limericks were really quite clever. I do hope we get to hear more of them.

[@BidnessGoose]

57:20 with some revision should absolutely be animated!

[@notanimposter]

The easter bunny is like a real rabbit, except it's 4-5 feet tall and walks on two legs. It's white, and it carries a basket or pushes a wheelbarrow full of eggs.

[@tomatoseller29]

Funny you mention needing to be high to enjoy the book as I listen while really stoned and did thoroughly enjoy the thought experiments. Good stuff haha

[@feralshrew]

The Easter Bunny was just a magic bunny to me. I never thought the eggs were actually from the bunny because it was a family event to dye them so I know I made them myself. As for hiding them, my family always had a huge get together on our great grandmothers mountain property where the adults would hide eggs in the woods and all the little kids would then run out and compete to collect the most, so yeah. I guess the easter bunny to me was just a cartoon character they made into chocolate and I devoured in the most horrifying way possible because I thought it was funny.

[@GenBloodLust]

I received a few letters and packages from Canada and some of them just have the 2 letter abbreviation for the Provence and zipcode. So I don't think Canadians do it all that often either. I mean Canadian and US postal system culture and phone systems are all pretty similar.

[@Conklestothemax]

I am curious in relations to the lobby scenario as to the status of people rediscovered long since after they pasted. For example when archeologist discover tombs of ancient kings. As that would be a period in which they are remembered after they have been forgotten. do they get called back to the lobby. There was another thing I wanted to comment on but as I listened to the part I wanted to comment on during my drive to college I have forgotten.

[@Marlas009]

In Germany, I think people consider the Easter Bunny looking like an actual bunny not like a man in a bunny suit, if i type "Easter Bunny" or "Osterhase" (German translation) on the first sites on google not a single picture of people in costumes show up, its all just bunnies, real ones and drawn ones.

[@Jedonai]

How expensive are Bananas in the UK? They are $0.50 each here in Texas, not $10

[@PrograError]

cos import taxes... here in SGP it cost nearly $5 a bunch...

[@johnn1199]

£0.13(£0.72/kg) from Tesco, similar elsewhere. It was just a joke.

[@facebren]

I think the point is that in the future inflation/food scarcity will push the price up

[@Xenoman14]

Two months browsing reddit. Two weeks listening to podcasts.

[@unplaceableface]

In my family the Easter Bunny could touch things to turn them into chocolate, and he pooped jelly beans. They said they just bought the peeps.

[@sterlingbirks9101]

57:02 hah i know what you did there. correct me if im wrong but ive heard that the companies of the ads will sponsor a youtuber more if they know they get lots of traffic to their website from the channel.

[@amandadube156]

Forgive me if this has already been covered in the comments, but as an absolutely un-sporty person from a very sports-oriented city, I almost cheered for Grey when he straight up told Brady that he didn't want to hear about sports. Sports people take for granted that they always have something in common with everyone around them and can just dive into it with anyone and have an exciting, stimulating conversation. As much as I would love to share in that camaraderie with my family and neighbors, I just... couldn't care less about the local sports team. It all seems like arbitrary nonsense to me. Seems like every holiday or get-together I attend, (with family in particular) everyone's watching the game and I'm like, "oh, okay, I guess this is what we're all doing today..." Heaven forbid I suggest something boring and irrelevant, like a board game. Not like I just sat through three hours of a football game or anything....

[@ookamichigire123]

Oh yes you guys podcast are definitely funny. Favorite one has to be 66,oh my goodness I cannot get through the first 15 minutes with a straight face, no matter the fact I've listened to it three times already.

[@josephschubert6561]

40:11 I once met somebody, and we gave each other our addresses so we could mail each other, I forget if I didn't stick my city on there, but he didn't stick his, never heard from him since.

Yayyyyyyy, I've been sick all week, needed something like this.

[@aarons8711]

oh no that face spoiler. lol

pseudonym does rhyme with limb, its a full rhyme but to some people it only partial rhymes becoming a slant rhyme

[@Mr_NB628]

Calling Santa’s bag a “magic sack” sounds dirty for some reason

[@Sarikiscool]

Brady, I work in retail. We security tag small items because they are stolen so much more than other larger items. We have a pair of nike socks stolen almost every week. That's 20 dollars a week for us. I've never seen anyone steal a pair of Levi jeans which we also tag.

[@TheNydox]

Seemed like ages since your last podcast. Really happy to see a new one. Keep up the good work!

[@obyswe]

Woah, Dude! A new episode. Too bad I can't write limericks or even poems at all.

[@chromaKey10]

As a sophomore in college, the book sounds like a pretty trippy experience.

[@GenkiGanbare]

Here is an interesting take on the "purgatory until nobody remembers you" afterlife. What if this was the ironic hell for people who commit murder rampages in order to be remembered for something? What if the named school shooters, bombers, and hate criminals, who committed their acts so that they would be a household name and remembered after their death, had to sit stir-crazy in a purgatorial waiting room until the last person on Earth forgot about them? That would be some amazing divine justice.

[@feelsgoodtobeyoung]

77th episode 77% battery on phone 77 comments

[@adamrjhughes]

listening to them sort of sent me into a trance

[@JayVon_Ro]

super interested into how you go about dealing with the fact that you lose interest in topics after a small period of time and what you do to move on and find that next interest. Or hobby. seems we share that quirk grey. Idk it gets in the way of my forward mentality because I feel like I'm hung up on only being 75% knowledgeable on a subject

[@dave5194]

haha, well played show notes.. well played

[@ihaveagun22]

1:15:00 this freaked me out a little though I guess that isn't very hard

[@legotankman]

Wait what happens if your forgotten and then remembered later like your researcher example?

[@MegaPhester]

The easter bunny is a regular rabbit. The toothfairy is human sized. Santa lives in Greenland.

[@froidesprit]

He actually lives in Canada, at HOH OHO, Nunavut. Watch Grey's video.

[@9nikola]

To dearest Brady and Grey I wish I had something to say Seven years late is quite a long wait But it must wait at least one more day

[@noahlevi2180]

I also listen to the podcast to go to sleep I thought that was so funny

[@y__h]

You're not alone!

[@andersgraham5814]

No mention of Federer vs Nadal in sportsball corner?

[@herrabanani]

Where's ep 76?

[@firnen_]

Hardcover Books > E-Books > Paperback for me.

[@LandBeyondTheNear]

What if humans attain immortality after Brady and Grey die. And some younger fans who won't ever die listen to the podcast for the rest of their lives as a peaceful memory of their past. Brady and Grey would be in that waiting room for forever, becoming morphed and warped into the raw personality the podcast embodies, and not who they actually are.

[@shadowblast4]

I think I have been broken, every time there was a pause in speaking after the limerick section I expected the rhythm of one to continue

[@kennyearthling7965]

A crazy young Rebel called Tom, Started fooling around with a bomb. They got most of him up, with a teaspoon and cup, and returned him by post to his mom
