TDS Time Machine: Resident Expert John Hodgman

Really? And we're back. Now, the reason presidents claim executive privilege is to protect the public from knowing how it's being governed. There's some truth you just don't want to know. It would be like walking in on your parents while they were having sex with one of your teachers. Scarring.

Well, there's something to that. I mean, here we are with all these people. We're not interacting in the same way we would be in private. Well, you know, John, I don't necessarily know about that. Oh, so you wouldn't mind if I played back our conversation that I taped earlier in your office this afternoon? What conversation am I talking about? I think you know the one.

You don't really want to know. But mixed martial arts, as you might imagine, combines many different fighting techniques. A well-rounded fighter will combine many styles, or he can choose from a menu of up to 12 combat combos. I recommend the number five. It's judo. plus a side order of repeated elbow punching to the neck and unlimited fountain soda.

I don't recall that actually being... Combat combos, John. The important thing is, two men enter the ring, but only one man... Well, both men leave the ring, but only one of them does so, having won the fight. But I say ring, of course, because it's actually a cage, a cage that is shaped as an octagon.

If you wanted people to fight in an eight-sided cage, wouldn't the natural choice of shape be an octagon? I'm not trying to embarrass you. It's just you ask me a question like that.
