291.035 - 298.545 David

From Tim Ainsworth. You were chatting about Jason Orange recently.

298.565 - 300.367 Joe

Haven't done that in a while.

Chapter 3: How do listeners feel about dad jokes?

373.464 - 397.392 David

Several weeks later, my coat arrived home in a taxi. When I looked in the coat pocket, I couldn't believe what was in there. There he was, bold as brass, Jason Orange in the shameless wardrobe room wearing my coat. Turns out, unbeknown to my friend at the time of filming, he was actually just the body double for Jason.

0

398.473 - 412.993 David

As the show's big ender series reveals that it was actually Jason Orange DJing under the mouse head. Jason Orange did a very brief cameo taking the mouse head off at the end of the episode in my coat. I was delighted.

0

414.274 - 416.878 Joe

Your energy waned a little at the end, didn't it?

0

416.898 - 447.593 David

So did your head. It tipped to the side. i felt myself doing it needless to say okay sorry tim needless to say i've kept my scally coat for 15 years and the photo too oh okay yes now so he sent the photo of the coat yeah and now he's sent the photo of jason orange wearing the coat well done you got us back

0

450.593 - 461.572 Joe

I'm just looking at Jason. A coat you have no ties to whatsoever.

461.872 - 467.101 David

He looks really... Can I see it? Oh, must I?

467.862 - 473.732 Joe

I've now got to drag it out of my... I'm so sorry if I wanted to see it as well.

475.332 - 500.723 David

Fuck, I thought I'd sent it to the guy I sit next to at football. There's the coat. Okay, there's a coat.

501.184 - 503.87 Joe

Could be a coat that you're selling on eBay, any old coat.

Chapter 4: What humorous anecdotes are shared about everyday situations?

0

578 - 608.408 David

This is from Ben Thompson sent a week or so ago. Crackerjack quip. I suddenly recalled what I think is my earliest memory of quippage. Early memory quips. Not sure how this transpired, but as a youngster about eight, I found myself in the presence of Don McLean, a 1970s toothy grinning comedian. He asked me what my name was, and after I said Henry, he quipped, Henry VIII. Fuck you now.

0

608.428 - 629.331 David

To which I quipped back, no, Henry. He looked wearisome and said, very good, whilst continuing to sign autographs for excited youngsters. The memory made me cringe, but not bad for a young quipper.

629.351 - 630.332 Joe

I'm thinking about him.

630.773 - 638.341 David

That's the man at the top of his game. Yeah. Please send in your quips to our mailbag.

638.882 - 639.603 Joe

Yeah, please.

639.623 - 641.385 David

Chapter 5: What insights are provided about smoking pot and daily life?

0

648.684 - 649.806 Joe

I get excited when it's.

0

649.826 - 651.108 David

Like specific titles.

0

651.408 - 652.931 Joe

Yeah. With the word quip in it.

0

654.133 - 655.997 David

Um, okay.

657.219 - 658.26 Joe

Can you go back a bit?

658.541 - 660.765 David

Yeah. That's what she said.

663.37 - 666.495 Joe

No, I meant you from the mic. That's a quip.

670.627 - 690.793 David

There's another quip straight away. Wonderful. From Samuel Robbins, sent last September. Long time listener. This very night of bizarre circumstances led me into a quip. I'd love to know what you think of it. First, a bit of necessary background. Six foot five tall, 19 stone, on a good day. I don't think of myself as fat.

Chapter 6: How do listeners describe their experiences with humor?

726.388 - 751.444 David

My assailant immediately looked very embarrassed and said, I'm so sorry. I thought you were my wife. that's good at this point the man's wife appeared beside me a petite young lady perhaps a type type of height that david might describe as similar to nicholas sturgeon that is a reference to a recent episode in case you're reading this in 2029

0

751.795 - 754.042 Joe

When did we ever talk about Nicholas Sturgeon?

0

754.062 - 777.811 David

I don't know. I looked at the man's wife, then turned back to him and quipped. So he's gone pew, pew, turned round, he's put his hands up, he's gone, oh, sorry, I thought you were my wife. He quipped. Don't worry, people are always getting us too mixed up. That's good. That's a classic. For those of you listening, Joe gave that a nod, an appreciative nod.

0

778.191 - 779.674 Joe

No, I gave it a clap in the end.

0

779.694 - 782.84 David

That's what I mean. It's like you've absolutely nailed it.

782.86 - 797.189 Joe

Yeah, yeah. Do you know what? It's everything you want in a quip with a stranger. Harmless, fun, joining in. Not try hard. No, and just that couple walked away and went, he was nice.

797.369 - 801.093 David

God, you could use that in a lot of scenarios, that.

801.113 - 811.442 Joe

That's great. If someone mistakes you for someone else. Mistakes you for someone else. And you're vastly different. Correct. So very specific.

812.904 - 821.337 David

You could hardly ever use it. Whilst typing this, I've completely lost confidence in the story, but it's done now.

Chapter 7: What are some notable dad jokes mentioned in the episode?

821.357 - 845.184 David

Don't you dare. Don't you dare lose confidence. No, it's really good. Cheers, love the pod, fuck the suits, crunch crunch, etc. That was good. I feel like I want to go back a bit. What do you mean? Yeah, you think of all the people that sent them back last year.

0

845.204 - 856.44 Joe

It's hard to be... Do you mind if I scroll back for five seconds? It's a crazy idea. You do that all the time.

0

856.9 - 865.468 David

Yeah. This is good. Well, I don't know if he is. More pothead info.

0

867.113 - 872.05 Joe

Probably having a go at me. Is it having a go at me by any chance for not being a pothead?

0

873.481 - 877.486 David

I have smoked pot daily. This is from Jeremy Liu.

877.506 - 882.513 Joe

And do you hold down a job and a wife being judgmental? All right, snippet.

884.095 - 887.819 David

I have smoked pot daily for 42 years.

887.839 - 890.883 Joe

And I'm an electrician with two kids.

891.244 - 895.489 David

Don't be so rude. I'm a best-selling author.

Chapter 8: How does the episode conclude with listener interactions?

907.885 - 917.097 David

Most potheads are not so chronic as to be non-functional, brackets like David. Oh, I put that in, but I was non-functional.

0

917.918 - 918.82 Joe

You weren't functional.

0

919.1 - 944.828 David

No. No. Was he saying he was functional? Yeah, he was functional. Oh, he did all those things. See, I told you, I knew this was what it was. And a lot of people, well, we asked, what do you do? I think we asked. That's why people, that's why they're doing it. Okay, that's why. A lot of people like me just smoke small amounts. The aforementioned micro-dosing. Is that what microdosing is?

0

944.908 - 962.213 David

I don't really know what it is. All day because we have ADHD and it gives us a quick dopamine hit. Get the quick dopamine hit out of the way and the ADHD brain can concentrate on other things. It's no different from being a functional alcoholic, having a couple of drinks at lunch.

0

962.193 - 991.896 David

if it's a constant and the person is consuming in the four grams plus range per day it can have tremendously negative mental health consequences is he four against it i can't work out but like any substance that causes dopamine return food alcohol chocolate social media it's only harmful if it's abused i don't really blame joe for not thinking much of it as there have been decades of propaganda

991.876 - 1022.085 David

mostly oh yeah but at the same time there's really no point doing it if you're happy most of the time or don't have issues with prolonged depression or anxiety it can be fun but for most people modern weed is too strong to smoke casually for more than a single puff or two cheers Maybe it's the way I read it. Like an absolute cock.

1022.705 - 1031.278 Joe

Yeah, like a lecturer. Looking down his nose back at you. I can't imagine him driving to work with chatavics on.

1033.741 - 1036.025 David

Oh, fuck. Right, I'm going deeper into the bag.

1036.285 - 1052.427 Joe

That's what she said. I don't know what I meant by that. No, I don't. Just thinking of balls.
