What does “chopped and unc” mean and why do they keep saying it?
Wow. Just wow.
Just wow.
It's good to see you.
It's really good to see you. How are you feeling exactly right now? As you are, who are you? How'd you get in here? What do you want from me specifically? What are we? We've been seeing each other for quite a while. We've been seeing each other for quite a while. I don't know. Like, are we going to take this to the next level? Do you want to be serious with this? Are you, do you want to clown around a little bit? Can you take your shoes off while you're in my house? I can't get a read on you.
I can tell you honestly how I'm feeling if that's what you're looking for, but I also can't really tell what you're looking for with what you just did.
Well, whatever you're doing, let's just kind of snowball off of that. I'm going to piggyback off of that as well while you snowball it.
I just feel upset.
Why?
Because I learned last night that the age limit to audition for American Idol is 29. Right.
It's actually 28. Yeah, I saw that.
But you can turn 29. You may not be 30 under any circumstances. Taylor Hicks, 29. Yeah. You could have told me he was 74 when I was watching that live and I would have said, yeah.
Yeah, I mean, it just seems like kind of like an inappropriate thing to put an age limit on. Like they have an age limit on, they're putting a cap on talent. First of all, that's ageism. We should cancel American Idol.
Completely.
What?
You're 29 and then suddenly... You stop being able to be an American Idol once you turn 30? Your value increases that much that you cannot possibly be an Idol for the American people?
Is Leonardo DiCaprio making the rules over at American Idol? Sorry, you're turning 30 next week? You're chopped and unk, actually.
Ruben Sutter was 24. Clay, I think, was 23. I mean, all these people I would watch and be like, these are grown adults in a really serious way.
Sure.
All under 29. William Hung, 21. That's she bangs.
Yeah. I don't know who any of these people are. I want to be frank.
Izzy, would you mind Googling Taylor Hicks? Look at this man who won American Idol one year. This is a 29 year old person.
Okay.
In a pretty big, in a very serious way. This was him on the stage.
Can we make that image a little bit larger than life? What? Like, completely.
I mean, it's not right to accuse someone of lying about their age, but he's lying about his age, right?
But you couldn't blame this young, young man for stretching the truth a little bit, although he is completely a fraud.
Is he not a fraud? That's a 29-year-old according to Wikipedia. Now, we are also being... This is not okay for us, although it is just... It's not okay to say that... It's not okay to look at someone and be like, no, you look so much older. Of course.
No, never. It's not okay.
Why is there an age limit for American Idol and who does it affect?
He's not 29. It's fine. I'm telling him that he's distinguished. In a way that would make it impossible for him to be 29.
He is a beautiful 29 year old silver fox. And that's completely fine in my book.
And also besides just the gray hair of it all, the way that he looks otherwise is 29 plus. It's fine to say.
He is salt and peppering all over that stage. She's leaving a trail of salt and pepper like out of the woods to grandma's house.
I'm really just torn up about the whole thing, Connor.
See, I like I get it. And it's really weird what we as this is called American Idol. Now, we have put these age limits on so many things as American people, except running for president. You have to be 80 years old to run for 29 year old.
Five, right?
Oh, yeah. Well, so you get six years in between being capped out of American Idol to decide if you want to run for president.
What will everyone do between 29 to 35 while they can no longer audition for American Idol, but they're still waiting to run for president? What will y'all do?
What do you do with that time?
What do you do with that weird stretch of time?
No one knows what to do in between 29 and 35. I think that's when you backpack in Europe.
Ooh. Yeah, that's nice. That's when you find yourself.
That's when you study abroad. Explore your body.
I'm just like, and by the way, this is on a crossword.
