Greek Phallic Disco Golf Balls: A Free Association Game

I'm watching this video in 2020 as a listener to the pod and just realized that Uncle Mike, famously a man of few words makes a cameo.

[@vickyceledon1215]

I was thinking the same thing!!! It’s THE Uncle Mike!!!

[@meteorrejector]

"princess" "katherine!" is so cute

[@adityakhanna113]

Yeah!! So, was "awesome" "hank".

[@malconley9928]

Oh wow. There is a reason that Hank free-associated "basket weaving" with "underwater". At the summer camp that Hank used to attend, and I have been going to for eleven years, "underwater basket weaving" is a code word among the counselors, referring not to a class, but to a secret project to be kept from the campers. Analysis of Hank's subconscious, whoo!

[@ACDBunnie]

very cool

[@elderlyoogway]

May I ask what the secret project is

@Madeline Conley People I know say it more generally as a joke(as a job or a sport, sometimes as sort of an example of a hard one).

[@jamesonmoore1837]

When you said Mountain Brook, I thought, "Hey, Mountain Brook must be a common rich people place name because there's a rich people Mountain Brook around where I live." But then I remembered that you guys are from Alabama, which is where I live, so it might be the same Mountain Brook, and I'm vaguely excited about that. If there's a less intense version of fangirling, then I'm doing that. I would be more excited, but I feel that'd be a tad creepy if a 15 year old boy got super excited about two grown men having been nearby 3 years ago. So I'm subduing my fangirling. I'm FanLassing. LET'S MAKE THAT A THING! If you're excited for a thing but don't want to come off as too intense, or are just legitimately only mildly excited for a thing, you're a fanlass.

I think they probably were in the same Mountain Brook. I live near there also and I can confirm, it is where all of the rich people live.

why is no one talking about the fact that the first thing that came to Hank's mind when he heard the word "princess" is "Catherine"?
