Another day, another day not being mysterious…
On today’s Just Us - Em’s found a silly online quiz for us to play. We discuss how academic success is not a indicator of intelligence, and we find out that Al has an affinity with a certain ubiquitous bird…
Btw - if you’re like Al and are counting down til Christmas - you’ll be thrilled to know we recorded this LAST week and it’s actually only nine Fridays til Christmas. If you’re like Em… sorry for the existential crisis.

| 0:18.7 | I hate when people do this. Oh God, why? Are you kidding? No, no. Why? Because it's so cool. Why are we counting down our lives? Like, I don't want it to be Christmas because then it's another year. It's counting up. It's getting excited for Christmas. But then what about, I don't enjoy that because then I think what about all the weekends now that are just sitting there like, what am I, nothing to you? |
| 0:40.0 | Like, what am I just? You can still enjoy those weekends. Just a leapfrox, like a stepping stone. You can still have fulfilling, meaningful weekends until Christmas. But also, how cool that we're, oh, well, you just, you've brought me down. marching drum of time is deafening as it, like, it's deafening enough to me. |
| 0:55.6 | Like, I don't need it. |
| 0:57.2 | I don't need it, you know, like, it gets me all the time. Every time I like, look on my calendar and I'm like, it's 20, 25. And then I'm like, oh my God, it's the end of 2020. Literally. That happens to me about three times a day. So the last thing I need is |
| 1:08.6 | I wouldn't have thought that you'd have been like that |

| 1:32.3 | where it's like, I wish I could just be a bit mysterious. Oh, what's them up to? Who knows? |
| 1:39.4 | Everybody knows. Everybody knows. And I just wish people knew less. And I just wish I spoke less. |
| 1:43.6 | And it's so annoying. |
| 1:44.8 | Okay, well, I mean, you have a podcast that goes out two episodes a week. |
