| 0:08.0 | Back on a Thursday. It feels good. Yes. Feels right. Yeah, it's been, God, it's been at least what a week since the last Thursday episode. I think so. Yeah, just about seven days. It's crazy how that happens. Yeah. Yeah. |
| 0:21.0 | Yeah. Nuts. So in this episode, you have not just not one, but two calendar questions. Yeah. Okay. Let's start with what January data trivia will move on to February. No, I have two quizzes to test really. |
| 0:39.0 | They're on the same subject. I think one is more technical, one is a little more of a feeling type of deal. Uh oh, because yeah, you already gave me an emotional intelligence test, which was a little, a little too visually stimulating for me actually seeing all those people smiling kind of scared me and put me off. So I'm hoping this one is more. Yeah. Auditory slash linguistic based. Let's hear what it is. What's the theme of today's episode? |
| 1:08.0 | Are you ready to be a dad? Wow. Okay. Yeah. And this test will let me know that if I am or not. Yeah, it's going to let you know if you're ready to be a father. Okay. |
| 1:22.0 | And I think it's high time that you dad it yourself. What I think your this is your responsibility to tell me that this is your decision to make your dragging your feet. I think it's time you brought another life into the world. |
| 1:38.0 | This world won't even be here in 40 years. Why would I throw someone into them? Can you imagine what they would feel like when they're my age? I mean, at that point, all the polar ice caps will melt. All of the sea kelp in the ocean will lead to mask your sort of proving that you're not. |
| 1:55.0 | I don't have like the wherewithal to be a dad, but let's get into the technical aspects. Okay. Dad, yeah. Okay. I'm here. How long would you let your should you let your newborn cry at night before picking them up less than one minute five to 10 minutes 10 to 15 minutes until they stop. Wow. So I have enough friends with babies that I've been able to ask some of these questions. |
| 2:22.0 | This one doesn't sound to like some of them, you know, they do sleep training. I know for the first three months, you have to literally wake them up every three or four hours and feed them or else they'll be malnourished. That's the hard part. Okay. |
| 2:35.0 | So this one is maybe more like a they don't want you to like cry and then rush in there and pick them up five to 10 minutes feels maybe right or 10 to 15. I've narrowed it down to the middle to because the last one is just ignore them all night, right? Right. Yeah. Until this stop. |
| 2:51.0 | Let's go. It's really a coin flip between five to 10. 10 is a long time for just unadulterated crying, but then do you really want them to go for 15? Okay. Five to 10 final answer. |
| 3:07.0 | Five to 10 for the record. I think this is way off. Really? Yeah. I think it's newborn less than a minute. They could be dying. I see. Oh, that's the answer. No, I don't know the answer. |
| 3:19.0 | God, because you don't want to see it either. I'm not ready. Yeah. How many times a day does the average newborn need to feed? Oh, I know this one. I know this one. It's three or four hours. Every four hours is one of the answers. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. |
| 3:35.0 | So you're saying we don't know the answers until the end of the quiz. It seems like it. Okay. All right. Of course, this could easily be one of those. I try to test the quizzes to see if they're like a at the end pay for your results or sign up for this newsletter. |
| 3:50.0 | But you know, there's no fucking telling anymore. Yeah. At the end. It's like, all right. What's your address? And here, can we have $80 to let you know if you're ready? Okay. All right. So what's the number one? |
| 4:01.0 | Never leave home without an item you should bring for an afternoon at the park with your six month old. Wow. Okay. Pacifier. Well, let me give you the answers. Your phone. |
| 4:13.0 | A muslin or other soft cloth. The video camera, which is, you know, the same as the phone must be an old quiz. Yeah. A nappy or soft toys. That's when it seems a little subjective. I mean, I do need my phone. Maybe I need the other shit too. |
| 4:29.0 | So don't like tell me that I don't need my phone. Like, I'm not okay without the phone. And then I just need a nappy. Is this a fucking quiz brought you by nappy? Is your wallet? Yeah. Yes. I need that. I need the phone. |
| 4:42.0 | Like the everyday carry items will be it. That's on me. I'll have that baby need. Yeah. What is the baby need? Does the baby need a muzzle? The baby doesn't need your phone. This is sponsored content. Doesn't need a muslin. Yeah. I guess it needs. I guess it needs a muslin or what was the other one? |
| 4:58.0 | A nappy. Yeah. It seems like it's up to the baby at that point. But I'll go fine. Give me a fucking nappy. Give me a nappy ass nap. Okay. Nice. |
| 5:08.0 | If you want to buy your nine month old new clothes, what size should you buy? 6 to nine months, 10 to 16 pounds, 12 to 18 months or small. |
| 5:18.0 | Quiz socks. This sucks. Not you, but the way it's written really pisses me off. What was it? You want to buy a six month old gift? |
