Chris Never Had Sex Education - #668

Without watching it, the title alone had me in stiches... I cannot wait for work to be over to watch this.

yep that's a Chris episode alright

Are they talking about The Batman trailer with Robert Pattinson from last year? I can't find shit about it from this year.

boy am I glad i've never had to say the word parabola out loud before this podcast 😂

Relating to that guy who just goes out and tries to speak: That sort of confidence is actually something taught in a lot of language courses. I studied Chinese and Russian at the same institution and the way they explained it was that if you're not afraid of making mistakes or being embarrassed you'll A. Find that you know more than you think you do and become much more confident and B. Fighting to functionally use the portions you have will make you internalize the lessons MUCH better than a class could. After a few months of lessons and trying to speak to fluent speakers I knew the languages well enough that I was dreaming in them. From my experience jumping in like that is extremely effective, and there's really nothing to be embarrassed or worried about. If you can say the phrase "Please forgive me, I'm still just learning *X language*." 9/10 people you're talking to will be happy and patient with you.

so when thy talked about the meat grinder it reminded me of that one episode of 100 ways to die where the dude gut sucked into a woodchipper, very graphic and traumatic to a tween/teen me that watched it like a decade ago, also a cousin of mine who worked in the tree cutting business got sucked into one, survived, but his left hand up to his like elbow was pretty messed up needless to say that meat grinder talk was ptsd inducing lol

This was the best podcast, get this crew together more often. The Chris stories just kept getting better as it went on

just want to say this is Kaylas second time telling the gogo google story and it is also the second time Chris told the toilet bath story

My word was "Paradigm"...I knew the word, heard it before, knew what it meant...saw it written in a book or something and fucked it all up.

I remember that Seinfeld episode. I thought of that immediately when Gavin said that.

I really hope the skittles club story becomes an RTAA.

In regards to Chris's story about the southern teacher mispronouncing "pennies"...I live in New Jersey and I had an English teacher in 8th or 9th grade who was from South Carolina (fantastic to be taking and English class from someone who seemed to struggle with the very language that they were teaching to children) and she would always do that thing where, when she would say a word like "what", "why", or "wash", it would come out as "hwhat", "hwhy", or "warsh". One day, we had just finished a short story of some kind and she was asking about why one of the characters did whatever it was that they did. She called on a boy in the class who ended up giving an extremely basic, non-descriptive answer, which turned out not to be good enough, in the teacher's eyes. She immediately spat out the following: "Yes, Jason, but hwhy? Hwhy? Hwhy did she react that way; I want to know hwhy?" The sheer rapid-fire application of the word apparently broke my brain, because, from the other side of the room, quite loudly, I said, without thinking, "Yes, Jason...tell her Hwhy...", to witch, said teacher suddenly started shouting at me to get out of the classroom and go to the office. That was the point where I responded, "Hwhat?! Hwhy?!". Followed directly by her response of, "GET OUT!!!".
