61.743 - 78.674 Javier Chicharito Hernandez

Everyone sees me as a football player, but before anything else, I'm human. Every single day, I'm still learning how to live with problems, mistakes, relationships, emotions, ever since I was born. This isn't a normal podcast. Everything here is spontaneous, real, and genuine. Just honest conversations about what it means to be alive.

78.694 - 85.506 Javier Chicharito Hernandez

90.768 - 109.473

I'm Mungish Atigular, and I'm back with a new season of my podcast, Skyline Drive. This time I talk to scientists, biopunks, curmudgeons, blues owners, super seniors, and Goa's top cryotherapy lab to try to understand this obsession with living forever and what it means for all of us. And I get into a bit of trouble along the way.

109.793 - 112.296 Stacey Dales

I'd say probably start bone smashing. That doesn't work.

Chapter 2: What is the significance of saying phrases incorrectly?

112.336 - 115.02 Stacey Dales

Make it look more defined. They say it works. I don't know.

0

152.918 - 159.626 Jonas Brothers

If you're like me, you've been mocked mercilessly just for saying things a little bit different.

159.666 - 161.268 Meg Stalter

Yeah. Oh, caramel.

161.288 - 162.49 Jonas Brothers

It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

162.55 - 164.892 Meg Stalter

If you're like Jeff, you deserve it. Yeah.

165.253 - 166.775 Jonas Brothers

Thank you for saying that, Brooke.

Chapter 3: How do misheard phrases impact communication?

192.825 - 212.268 Jonas Brothers

And I have proof. Because a new survey just asked people, what sayings did you say incorrectly for decades without anybody noticing? And what did you think they meant? Here's some of the best ones. One person admitted instead of saying might as well, they thought it was minus well.

0

212.748 - 216.373 Meg Stalter

Minus well. Oh, like don't do well? Yeah, minus it.

0

217.495 - 220.9 Jonas Brothers

Or it's like chalk it up to a loss, minus well.

0

222.482 - 224.725 Meg Stalter

I almost get it. Yeah.

0

224.705 - 228.593 Jonas Brothers

I mean, it's close. You could see how people would make these tiny mistakes.

228.613 - 234.606 Meg Stalter

I may just start adopting these and using them to see who can catch me. Actually, a few of these I really enjoy. I might as well.

234.626 - 241.802 Jonas Brothers

So, yeah, good point. Another said, for years, my brother thought the people who lived beside us were our next store neighbors.

241.782 - 244.809 Meg Stalter

Your next-door neighbors. Oh, do you live by a store? Yeah.

244.889 - 248.337 Jonas Brothers

Not their next-door neighbors. Yeah. That one's a tough one.

Chapter 4: What are some surprising examples of misheard sayings?

259.782 - 261.285 Jose Balano

But then you'd be overstore.

0

261.446 - 261.546 Jonas Brothers

Yeah.

0

261.526 - 263.732 Jose Balano

My overstore neighbor.

0

263.772 - 272.734 Jonas Brothers

And my understore. Another said, I was in my 30s when I finally realized it's play it by ear, not play it by year.

0

272.866 - 279.898 Meg Stalter

Oh, that is way different. I memorized this from the year 1999. I just knew it.

279.918 - 282.483 Jonas Brothers

So what are we going to do about the birthday present? Oh, we'll play it by year.

282.503 - 284.206 Jose Balano

Oh, my gosh.

284.226 - 285.508 Jonas Brothers

That's usually how you do it.

285.528 - 294.682 Meg Stalter

Oh, yeah, because there's seven. I used it wrong. I was thinking play music by ear. I used it wrongly. Uh-oh. Don't make it work. You know, like if you play piano by ear.

Chapter 5: How do people react to discovering their misheard phrases?

332.868 - 340.318 Jonas Brothers

How could you mess these up? Someone else wrote, for years, they said bonfire instead of bonfire.

0

341.8 - 350.832 Meg Stalter

That actually fits better because a bonfire, I think of something huge. If you're going to a bonfire, it's got to be the flame over your head.

0

350.812 - 353.474 Jose Balano

I'm scared to go to a bomb fire. Like, who brings the bomb?

0

353.554 - 357.298 Jonas Brothers

I think it sounds better. It sounds like, dude, that was an epic bomb fire.

0

357.558 - 359.68 Jose Balano

Oh, bomb, not as an explosive.

359.76 - 367.046 Meg Stalter

Although the communication, like Jose said, could get mixed up. And you bring something for fuel that shouldn't be put in the fire.

367.066 - 370.068 Stacey Dales

Someone shows up with a backpack. Everyone's like, wait a minute.

370.088 - 380.177 Jonas Brothers

There are marshmallows in there. Well, mine as well. So a 147-year-old guy thought that a wheelbarrow was wheelbarrow for the majority of his life.

380.343 - 388.295 Meg Stalter

A wheel's barrel. I'm just proud Jeffrey knows what a wheelbarrow is. You're not really a manual labor type guy.

Chapter 6: What are the common themes in misheard phrases?

412.171 - 418.221 Meg Stalter

It makes early old-timers disease even worse. That's brutal. And you get wrinkles.

0

418.722 - 430.327 Jonas Brothers

Again, we're looking at a survey of phrases that people accidentally were saying wrong for years without ever realizing it. Another man said holier than now instead of holier than thou.

0

430.768 - 436.92 Meg Stalter

Oh, yeah. But that's a real religious. That's an optimistic look, though, right? We're holy now, but we're going to be holier soon.

0

437.341 - 454.495 Jonas Brothers

I like we're putting an optimistic spin on all these. Another one. For the longest time, one guy's mom thought it wasn't hit the ground running. It was hit the grout humming. Like a different way to start your day. Go in the shower and hit that grout humming.

0

454.475 - 461.911 Meg Stalter

And thank God it's not whistling because humming isn't as annoying as whistling.

462.753 - 470.75 Jonas Brothers

Oh, yeah. I'll take that any day. And this is like people of all ages, too, because one teenager thought he heard read between the lines different.

470.931 - 471.332 Meg Stalter

Yeah.

471.352 - 473.817 Jonas Brothers

He understood it as read between the lions.

473.797 - 477.824 Meg Stalter

Dangerous. Yeah, risky.

Chapter 7: How can miscommunication lead to humorous situations?

497.576 - 498.718 Meg Stalter

He goes, that's offensive.

0

499.299 - 501.683 Jonas Brothers

Yeah. We shouldn't be body shaming women.

0

502.204 - 504.288 Meg Stalter

We don't comment. That's right. That's right.

0

504.308 - 507.433 Jonas Brothers

I'm like, well. It's nice that he's an ally at such a young age.

0

507.454 - 508.015 Jose Balano

He's a good kid.

508.135 - 522.18 Jonas Brothers

And finally, sometimes it's not even that you're saying it wrong. It's that you're understanding it incorrectly. Like a 20-year-old woman in college thought piece of cake was peace as in peace sign of cake.

522.532 - 526.236 Jose Balano

Like cakes are violent? And we got peace from cakes?

526.396 - 531.803 Jonas Brothers

It's easy, but it's also super chill. Peace of cake.

532.023 - 536.428

There's something special in that cake. Piece of cake.

Chapter 8: What lessons can we learn from these misheard phrases?

580.95 - 605.593
