The Perils of Being Left-Handed

[@mrveink]

Hold up, I've been following CGP Gray for a long time, but I've never realized that there's a podcast! Where has this been!! This is amazing!

[@ratvibe]

Same!

[@adamtanner277]

me too!

[@branknight01]

I really only clicked on this because I’m a lefty. My gripes are finding a left handed glove second hand. I swing right handed so no problems there! Only other bad things are eating next to right handed people and smudging papers.

[@shakalaka5446]

Please, just let me have the last seat on the left. You can stock only right-handed scissors, but give me that seat!

[@DracarmenWinterspring]

I'm right-handed and multilingual and when writing on paper (which I don't do much these days) I find writing in Hebrew (right-to-left) tends to smudge a lot more than English (left-to-right). So I always wondered if people from places with right-to-left written languages are more likely to be left-handed (but AFAICT they're not).

[@shan_masala90]

@@DracarmenWinterspring yeah. I speak English and Urdu (another right-to-left language)

HE LISTENS TO MAMA'S BROKEN HEART, MY GOD. I love this man.

[@MoneybagsUkulele]

I'm so glad grey listens to those kinds of country song. Warms my heart.

[@MrRickulus]

I started listening to cortex this August, and rapidly going from when Grey first told Myke about Obsidian and how against it Myke was to now Myke saying it's "game changing" is the story arc I never anticipated but am overjoyed to hear (I also switched to Obsidian and I love it)! Edit: And the episode comes to a close with Grey rattling off a list of songs I love 😂

[@PatrisDev]

Groomba is the perfect name for a grumpy lil' roomba.

[@mrveink]

I think Goomba would've also been fun, but Groomba makes more sense

[@siemenski]

I think I need a tutorial from grey on how to set up obsidian. I've been thinking about it for quite some time now but every time I try using it I get lost

[@namuzed]

1:35:02 "Keep your rifle by your side" is a banger, it's in my repeat playlist too.

[@CGPGrey]

Makes me want to move to Wyoming…

[@17AJ06]

@@CGPGrey is this on Spotify? Cause if it is, please post a share like, cause I need this playlist😂

[@jtw-r]

54:25 it’s like listening to a train derail

[@volodyadykun6490]

I thought we already established Myke isn't lefty

[@CGPGrey]

Oh _yeahhhhhhhh_

[@MykeHurley]

I hate this

[@volodyadykun6490]

​​@@MykeHurley btw I don't know what's wrong with cortexians, you're definitely left-handed because everyone defines it by writing and this is just further proof of it Also trying to learn to write with other hand can somewhat mess with you (UPD. why don't you just find someone?:) ) Also omg replies from hosts and both yeaah and should I say I'm lefty too

[@srivatsajoshi4028]

@@MykeHurley Don't worry Myke. We lefties stand with you.

[@yakult5491]

1:33:09 never did i think i’d hear Grey say he listens to Britney Spears, guess i should have never doubted his good taste

[@danielkellett6981]

Return of the Spider Dungeon!!

[@JovanLemon]

this is probably one of the few places on the internet where the majority of people are left handed

[@DistanceTraveled]

Beer beer truck truck has been turned into a full fledged song now.

[@Tokahax]

This launch finally got the algorithm to show me your flippin' content again!

[@MeatPops]

Really a missed opportunity with that psychic notepad. I'll look forward to it in the future.

[@Mr_NB628]

Chicken Fried is by Zac Brown Band. And what about “walkn’ in Memphis”?

[@joshuakirkham9593]

I definitely heard 'psychic' notepad throughout this podcast, and until they started talking about the phonetics, that's what I was thinking.

[@DistanceTraveled]

Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer It's Christmas but feels like it fits that genre X Christmas version. But for full AhMERica "God bless the USA" is a classic but may be too intense. Perfect for road trip crazy with the windows down.

[@thepoetoffall7820]

There’s another song, from the Chicken Fried album that is perfect for Grey May like. “Sic em on a Chicken”. I swore off of country back in 2016 due to some unfortunate political associations. But this song is something I’m familiar from my childhood.

[@BoWSkittlez]

The Cortex logo looks very Pixar-esque! Anyone else see it?

[@therealcaldini]

What time is the left-handed talk? KZbin keeps throwing up adverts every time I scan through it.

[@MPS186282]

What Grey wants is Ween's album "12 Golden Country Greats."

[@Innuya]

29:50 cgp really unaware of what excel is capable of??

What could POSSIBLY go wrong with working in an unventilated space with internal combustion happening all around? 😅 All sarcasm aside, Grey, PLEASE!!!!🙏 at least put a CO detector down there.

[@Vi-nb3dz]

Note to self: make playlist of the song mentioned

[@Mr_NB628]

Where does Google sheets fall? Does it fall between numbers and excel?

[@secretserenity44127]

If you're looking for silly country songs, ome of my favorites is "I'm My Own Grandpa" by Ray Stevens. It's about a wacked out family tree and it's all legit and hilarious. Have fun!

[@DistanceTraveled]

Cowpatti might work too

[@anerdishere420]

an evil part of me wants to timestamp all of the times psychic notepad is said

[@AllYourMemeAreBelongToUs]

[@DistanceTraveled]

I'm waiting for the "right handed" version where the to do list is on the left side and the open space is on the right. Maybe with a blue color.

[@Cryten0]

Geez ads every 4 minutes.

[@Darrkuable]

Psychic Notepad, like the Psychic Paper from Doctor Who xD

[@thepoetoffall7820]

Grey. Listen. Please. For the love of god. Rent a second apartment. It can function as an office just fine. And you won’t be in this toxic environment.

[@Vi-nb3dz]

Beer will break your liver tho

[@TehKane3322]

The Notepad look sick and I wanted to buy it, but within the EU it costs a whooping 75€.

Yeah being a lefty sucks, especially in sports. Every piece of sporting equipment has be custom made, or you have to go through hoops in order to find it. Indiana Jones style, and whenever you do find the stuff you need, everyone immediately calls you "the lefty" and points it out like you are an exotic animal. It's like, dude, I'm just trying to play here! Absolutely a struggle.

[@vaclav_fejt]

What kind of sports have you done? O_o Handed equipment doesn't exist in most sports and where it does, it has always been available when I did or at least tried those.

[@SuperBuildsInMC]

@Václav Fejt Maybe I'm just going to bad sports stores but I've always had trouble finding stuff

[@vaclav_fejt]

@@SuperBuildsInMC I can only think of hockey/floorball and bolt action rifle shooting, where handedness matters...

[@chrise.321]

Some power tools are also right-handed, which is just as aggravating.

[@SuperBuildsInMC]

@Václav Fejt I did golf, believe me that's a nightmare. I also still do bowling, which that isn't so much a issue when it comes to equipment side, but getting branded as the "lefty" is ridiculously common and I hate it. It's like, I'm just a person man.
