Lilith Needs a Favor

Context outside the activity. Segment type: podcast introduction and non-activity discussion Reviewed full source context: We have one destiny. We have one origin. We have one goal. And that is to get the ball in the end zone. To make sure the audience is loving what we're doing. And to make sure that everyone around the world never forgets the name Reverse Psych Pod, a Frasier Rewatch podcast. A quick warning about this week's show. It's not good. Welcome to Reverse Psychology, the Frasier Rewatch podcast where we go backwards through every episode of the show. Tonight, we're covering season 10, episode 13, Lilith Meads a Favor, which originally aired on February 4th, 2003. Is this when Lilith asks Frasier for some sugar? We'll find out. I'm your host Curtis Schack. Joining me as always, it's a resident upside downer, it's Ryan Sansone. Curtis! I'm so excited. I don't even need a favor tonight. I'm just happy to be here. Also with us today is the personification of a nipple pick. It's Bradley Kirkston. Ladies, it might be cold outside, but in Bradland, it's always hot and spicy. I really thought you were going to play off the nipple thing. Well, actually, you know what? Speaking of nipples, you just made me think of something, Ryan. Thank you for that. Yes, please. Yes, please. I would like to say something. We've been getting some feedback. We've been getting too many nip picks from you old men. We got a complaint from, we'll say, a friend of Curtis because they're a friend of Curtis that I spend the podcast talking too much about myself. This is how you chose to address this problem. The point is, just like a nipple, I stand strong. I stand straight and I stand proud of myself. And the whole point of having a podcast is to brag about yourself and to brag about having a podcast. So I will continue to talk about myself. And if you don't like it, please email us. Reverse site pad at gmail.com. Pay no attention to that band behind the curtain. Yeah. And keep complaining that way, Brad can keep comparing himself to a hard nipple. Yes. That was my name in high school. Hard nipple Kirkston. Are you guys bragging about this? I am now. Yes. I will be pointing a lot of people to listening to that clip. I'll tell you that much. I'm a strong, hard nipple. Well, I hope that satisfies everybody who had something to say about this podcast. If anyone thinks Brad talks too much about himself, I think he's proven you all wrong. I stopped even correcting everybody when they called me Brad. I let that one go finally. Did you? Only took me a year. I'm only going to do it half the time. Well, now people are going to call you a fried nipple, so it's not going to be a problem. That's fine. At least Curtis can finally introduce me as something. I'm trying to come up with a pun on Nipsey Russell. Is that a person? God, you don't know who anybody is. I mean, should I know? For real. Should I know who this person is? I'm not going to pretend like I'm intimately familiar with them, but I've heard the name. Yeah. First of all, is it a guy or girl? I honestly can't tell. Julius Fote Nipsey Russell was an American actor, comedian, and poet, and dancer, best known for appearances as a panelist on game shows in the 1960s through the 90s. I am a bachelor and I will not marry till the right girl comes along. But while I'm waiting, I don't mind dating girls that I know are wrong. Why weren't you familiar with that? Time out. If there's anybody I'm going to be compared to and what my dream would be, would be a game show contester for 30 years. So I think comparing me to Nipsey Russell in any way is probably a good dancer, an actor, a singer, a game show host. That's me. Is it a job to be a game show contestant? In Britain, it definitely is. Yeah. Here's the thing. If a game show was to pay me to be on as the celebrity guest on this podcast, then I will happily be on and get paid for it. If a game show wants to pay me to be a non-celebrity guest, I am in. I will do any game show. I can absolutely see Brad going... I forgot his name. I can absolutely see Brad. It's Hard Nipple. It is Hard Nipple. Get it right. Don't be disrespectful. I can see Hard Nipple going on like a game show just as a regular contestant who like applied to be on, but playing as if he is the celebrity. He's going to be like, and the charity I'm playing for, they're like, what charity? My assistant director of the camp that I run, she really wants to be in the game show as Survivor, and she like continues to apply and apply. Maybe I'll just secretly apply, sneak in, just to make her mad, and then I'll win Survivor, because that would be... Who doesn't want to spend 30 days on a deserted island with Bradley Kirkston? How many R's do you think are in the word Survivor? Survivor? Survivor. The way it's spelled or the way I say it, because that's two of an answer. I was going to say Survivor. I don't think you know either. You don't announce the last R, but not the first one. It's strange. Survivor. Survivor. It's the other way. I don't think Brad could be on Survivor. Early seasons when they didn't know what they had, it was fun to have people that just couldn't hang. Now we're, what, 45 seasons in or something? It's all pros that do it now. I don't mean to harp on the pronunciation thing, but he is now saying Survivor, but originally he said Survivor. Survivor. Survivor. You get two R's, use them how you please, Curt. Stop yucking his yum. Yeah, stop yutting my yuck. Oh, I'm not supposed to yuck a yum. You're not supposed to yuck a yum, Curt. It's 2024. Get with it. You're not a yum yucker. Yeah, you're not a yum. Why does that sound super disrespectful? That sounds like a group that got oppressed in the early 60s. The yum yuckers? The yum yuckers. Should we yuck Frasier's yum? Yes. We always love moving things along. Opening performer: Brad Lookup reader: Curtis answer: Injected audio clip Poem performer: Injected audio clip Pronunciation challenger: Curtis

Answer: This one's miles ahead. Answer qualification: I'm not commenting on the IT system. It almost looks like a really shitty motel lobby and a woman behind a car. Well, this one is like a really nice hotel lobby. Segment context: non-game comparison of reviewed settings Reviewed full source context: Okay, so it's official. This, we're on sperm bank duty. So we got to see in the next season or the previous season if there's more sperm banks. Means never, ever assign me sperm bank duty again. Yes. Curtis, you won't do it again. You're just on it for the rest of the. Yeah. We've got nine more sperm banks to review and then you're fine. And then please rank the sperm banks. Yeah. How did you rank the two sperm banks, Curt, since you went back? Oh, actually, it's not even a question. This one's miles ahead. This one, like clearly this is. Oh, my God. No. The other one's IT system was incredible. Well, okay. I'm not commenting on the IT system. She found Niles info without any info whatsoever in like 12 seconds. She was like, I just need half of your first name. I'll take care of it. So clearly Lilith and Frasier are actually trying to make a baby. So they're going to the best, nicest clinic they can find. Niles just wanted some quick cash. He went to the sleaziest place he could find. So the other set doesn't even look like any kind of clinic. It's just a drab. It almost looks like a really shitty motel lobby and a woman behind a car. How would you describe this one? Well, this one is like a really nice hotel lobby. You know, it feels somehow like the wallpaper seems a little bit brighter and the whole thing just feels much more like a real place. Not just a couple of walls they put up with the worst, cheapest wallpaper they could find.

Answer: C- Answer qualification: I just didn't love it, and you guys rushed me, so I didn't really get to think about it. Segment context: noncompetitive episode rating Reviewed full source context: Well, Brad, did you like this episode? Yeah. So thank you for asking, of course. Just don't get off the couch when you answer questions. I had a really hard time with this one. There were some funny parts, but there was also some... You were hard during this? Well, he was a hard nipple the whole way. Yeah, I'm hard nipple Kirkston. After really thinking about... I don't like the way that you really... You're really living that hard nipple life. You're just comfortable there. After really thinking about this episode, I'm just thinking about the good, the bad, the ugly, everything in between. That's how we're doing. This is not the bonus episodes. I will continue... You know, I don't know. I'm just... I'm going to go with a C-. I just didn't love it, and you guys rushed me, so I didn't really get to think about it. C-. If you thought about it, you'd still have given the C-, so we're fine. Correct. Correct.

Answer: My expert opinion is 23 out of 35. Segment context: noncompetitive episode rating Reviewed full source context: Curtis, what is your expert opinion? 23. My expert opinion is 23 out of 35. Yeah, that's fair. That's fair. I think that's right on. Yeah, that's fair. This is definitely middle of the pack, but middle of the low. This is fine. It's not a bad episode. I didn't hate watching it, but it is just nothing special. I think if it wasn't for the Marty bit and the sperm, there's nothing... If it weren't for the episode, you liked the scene driving to the amusement park. But there was nine scenes and only two of them were entertained, is what I'm trying to say.

Answer: Now I'm about 5.1 after talking through this with you guys. Answer qualification: I was probably closer to six. Segment context: noncompetitive episode rating; six is a retrospective earlier estimate Reviewed full source context: Ryan, what about you? You know, it's funny. You guys have definitely talked me down. I thought the ruse bit, the way that they pay it off with Marty at the end was pretty good. Even though you could tell it wasn't going to be a nipple, it wasn't going to be Daphne's nipple, that ending bit was good. You don't want to say strong. I did not see it coming. That's for sure. And I thought they handed it pretty well. Yeah. It was nowhere near the strongest punch we've seen Frasier throw. And by no means was the rest of the episode there to back it up. So you guys have actually talked me down. I was probably closer to six. Now I'm about 5.1 after talking through this with you guys. Wow. That's a big drop. That is a big drop. Yeah, definitely. But I also think it's fair.

Title: genetic pentathlon Activity premise: But which one of us won the DNA lottery? Activity description: We will be competing in five areas of potential parental fitness. Adjudication method: participant voting Scores: Unresolved: ['No complete numerical scoreboard or consistent point-allocation rule is stated.', [[1296], [1416], [1417], [1418], [1423], [1535], [1544], [1545]]] Final state summary: The important thing is that we have completed all five legs of our three-line andathlon. And we have a definitive winner, which is not me. I've lost definitively. Result qualification: The announced five-area framing is followed by enacted excuse, radio-voice and possession domains before the explicit completion announcement. Reviewed full source context: We know Lilith thinks Frasier has the best genetic stock for her second child. But which one of us won the DNA lottery? Welcome to the genetic pentathlon. That's rocky. I think you're doing Jurassic Park now. I tried to do Star Wars, but Brad threw me off. I couldn't find it. For the record, because I know they're famously litigious, we are doing a pentathlon specifically because the O word could get us in trouble. Are we doing a pentathlon? Yeah, absolutely. The notes don't have that. Yeah. When this is all done, you will find that we absolutely guaranteed did whatever a pentathlon is. Rate five. We will be competing in five areas of potential parental fitness. The first, what do you call them? Are they sports? What do you call them? Events. Or legs. Legs of the pentathlon. Oh, yeah. Because the pentathlon. Yeah, we're not doing the O word. So it's legs. Legs? Yeah. Legs. Yeah. This event has legs. Just like Data from Star Trek. All right, well, the first leg is going to be for the best excuse for avoiding Lilith. Brian, would you like to start us off? Tee us off? Tee us off. Is that a thing, teeing? In golf, yeah. Not in a pentathlon where you're making an excuse, but sure. All right, well, do it. Well, what's the format? Am I just saying the excuse and then you guys judge it? Is there a better way? I don't know. Let's find out. All right. Oh, Lilith, I'm so excited to see you. And it was going to be a great time, but I just shipped my last mug. And if I don't get out to the specialty goods store before it closes, we're not going to have coffee in the morning. And you know how we both get without coffee. So I'll see you in Boston. Is she a coffee drinker? I don't know, but I know I am. Okay. So you're just going to go to the store? You're just... I'm going to go get a mug. Yeah, she's a specialty store. So... She just came from traveling. She might have one in her bag. She might be like... No, no, I need a mug. I need a mug with a handle. I'm not a plebeian. They have travel mugs with handles. What are you talking about? Are you a Stanley boy? I didn't know that. You're dropping $50 on a mug. We'll get to it later, but I'm a fancy boy. I will drop no less than $50 on a mug. You're just not going to win. Like, that was not creative in any way. No, no. What do you mean? I'm just not a fan. Could you imagine not having a means to drink coffee in the morning? I just decided what my excuse would be. I didn't, like, write a script. Oh, even I wrote a script for mine. I thought that's what you told us to do. I didn't write a script. I just kind of said it like a human would. Just thought it and then said it. I don't write anything. What is this? The 1920s? I didn't write anything down with my quill, Curt. Brad, what did you put in the old typewriter there, Brad? Hey, Lilith. Hey, Brad. Whoa. You're doing both sides of the dialogue. No, sorry. Hey, Lilith. You're Jewish and I'm Jewish. And just because of today's world and everything going on in the world, I just don't think it's safe to have two Jews in one space right now. So I'm going to leave and I think you're just going to be better and safer without me. So I'm out. Jesus, Brad. Jesus Christ. Hey, I play to win the game. I play to win the game. Can you play to have fun? I play to win the game. I also think Lilith would have a pragmatic response as to why that's foolish and how it's probably. I don't think that would work very well. It would instantly take you apart psychologically. Look, this might be a little bit of a surprise to the audience, but Lilith is smarter than I am. You're conceding. No, I'm still the smartest person on the podcast, but still, Lilith is smarter than me. Defend. Defend. That Lilith is smarter than me? Yes. Um, she has a PhD. You could get one if you put 20 years into school. I'm going to get the same PhD that John Cena has in thugonomics. I would love that. Yeah. I majored in, what is it, uh, child education and I got my PhD in thugonomics. All right, let's try that again. My bachelor's is in human development or family studies with a concentration in youth development. My master's is in public administration and my PhD is in thugonomics. Throw away that patriotic mask, man. Don't recycle Hulkamania. Throw it in the trash can. We're live. Yeah. Curt? Curt? You got a real shot at the first leg. I guess I was wing acting out my, my concept. So. No, wait. Once again, you, you, you know what you're going to say. You just don't know how a human would say it to another human. Is that your problem? That's exactly my problem. I just didn't think of how anyone would say it. Hey, oh, Lilith. Oh, it's so good to see. Well, Lilith. Oh, you're not going to spend a minute alone while you're in town. We should. Oh, we can go shopping and. Oh, I, let's go out to dinner right now. You know, tell me everything. Scene. Did you say a complete sentence? That was insane. Your excuse to not hang out with her is that you want to talk to her? I'm going the other way with it. I'm going to be so clingy and so possessive of her that she will run away from me. I'm solving the problem long term. I don't know if that would work with her. I'm sorry. Is that an excuse? I don't even have to make an excuse because I'm going to trick her into making an excuse. That's how brilliant my excuse is. Sorry, Curt. What's the category? It's the best excuse. Curtis failed. He found his own activity. But my whole thing is, I don't even know if that would work with her. I feel like she would like the attention. No, she is cold as ice. I agree that it would it would allow you not to have a conversation with Lilith. I just don't think an excuse was made. No, correct. Curtis doesn't know how to play his own game. That's something Brad would do. That is something Brad would do. I thought so hard about that one. I thought it was a great excuse. Well, again, it's it would work. Just isn't an excuse. Why do those two? I have to vote for Ryan. Obviously, I have to vote for Brad. So you're the tiebreaker, Curt. Because because we both tried. Yeah. I've got to go with Ryan because while it's a terrible excuse, at least it's not a bummer. So I want to point out you guys told me I'd be getting one point for this leg and you were incorrect. Next up, we're each going to compete for the best radio speaking voice. Brad, would you like to start this round? Curtis, you know, for this, you have to do a radio voice, right? Just making sure you know how to do this. I don't think Curt knows what's happening. 96.4 It's DJ Jazzy Jew on the ones and twos. Today, we're going to hear a music lineup from Limp Bizkit. But before that, it's the weather report with Doc Brown. Hey, boys and girls, it's Doc Brown. Today in New Mexico, we're expecting sunny skies at 76 degrees. In Montana, expect that snow to be falling from the sky. Expect three to four inches on your vehicle for work. Next, our sports report with Ram Rod Rodriguez. Today in sports, Baltimore Orioles beats the San Diego Padres with a score of 5-4. We're going to hear a hard-hitting journalistic report from our own Dally Frugger. Today in our report, we're going to look at consumers and how they spend their money in 2024. All right. That was it. I can't do it anymore. I had so many comments, but you did too much. I wish we could have broken between each one. I know. Did you picture DJ Jazzy Jew wearing a trench coat and being naked underneath? He sounded creepy as hell. It's the radio. I expected all these people to be naked the whole time. Is the weather man who was doing a morning zoo bit for the weather, which was weird. And then I think Sally Struthers. I forget what she even was doing. Were they the same person? No, completely different voices. You'll hear that back when we listen to it, I'm sure. I hear you try really hard to do a girl voice and instead you just jump right back into that guy's voice. Yeah, that might have happened. The Indiana Pacers are looking for a measure of revenge tonight against the New Jersey Nets and to strengthen their playoff hopes. The Nets won the last game matchup, 94-85, which left the Pacers one game behind the Chicago in the 7 Series spot. Let's check out the highlight. Reggie Miller's looking good. He shoots the three and it's good. Later, he gets a rebound, passes it to the man, shoots it, and boom goes the dynamite. Love that you chose sports. That was pretty good, though. I went a little more NPR with it than morning zoo. You get that with sports recaps. I think you did pretty well despite never hearing a sports recap in your life. Yeah, you did fine. That was a sports thing? Oh boy. All right. Did you recognize what the copy was taken from? No? I mean, I assume it's the boom goes the dynamite meeting, but I don't know that. Yeah, that's exactly what it's from. The guy who was really nervous doing the sports cast for his college news program and just is awkward as hell. I think you did better than the boom goes the dynamite kid. You did your boom goes the dynamite delivery poorly, but your play-by-play was pretty good. All right. Well, Ryan, how about you? Yeah, I didn't prepare for this, so here we go. Well, that's tomorrow, and that is it for us today. Okay, I don't know. Whatever. It is. It's not right on the teleprompter. I don't know what that is. I've never seen that. Okay, but yeah. I can't read it. There's no words on it. There's no words there to play us out. I don't know what that means to play us out. What does that mean? To end the show? All right, go. Go. That's tomorrow, and that is it. That's tomorrow, and that is it for us today, and we will leave you with a... I can't do it. We'll do it live. We'll do it live. Fuck it. We'll do it live. I'll write it, and we'll do it live. This fucking thing sucks. You didn't really do a radio voice, though. You just kind of read it. You did the scientist from The Simpsons. Yeah. I've been my reading. I thought I was doing a voice. I meant to do a really morning zoom, but it's a lot to read. You have to do a lot of... There's a lot happening in it, actually. Did you recognize that one? Have you seen that meme? No, I haven't seen it. I've seen memes, Curt. You haven't seen this thing fucking sucks? I watched television. I don't know. Yeah, I've seen it before, Curtis. One of the great ones. Fucking thing sucks! I'm sorry I'm not watching newscaster memes, Curt. I don't know what to tell you. Was that even Bill O'Reilly? I don't know. It was. I gotta go Brad on this one. I mean, he did the whole zoom. Yeah. I mean, Brad was horrible at it, but I don't think any of his voices matched his character. I thought Curtis was great. I liked Curt. Brad, you have a tiebreaker, I guess. Wait. No, you can just give it to Ryan. Yeah, I'm gonna give it to Ryan. So we all tie. What does that do? I don't know. Nothing even matters. It's fine. Who won the last round? I did. I guess you're still winning. On to the next leg of the pentathlon. It's the most sophisticated. We will each identify the fanciest thing in our possession. I thought it was pretentious. Ooh. Sophisticated might go poorly. Well, the real category is pretentious, but I thought if we're trying to win Lilith over, we were gonna call it sophisticated. So who hasn't gone first? You. Yeah, you're up, Curt. I should know that. I have a toast rubbin that, wait for it, also is an air fryer. What are you putting this one under? Sophisticated, pretentious, or trashy? What do you think this category was? I think that's very fancy. It's got two functions. Okay, Curtis does not play to win this game. Cool. Good to know. I don't have fancy things. Here's what's annoying. The podcast at large understands that Curtis owns a white rug, and the fact that he's choosing not to say it is very annoying. I was looking around my apartment trying to find something that would be considered fancy. Look down, Curt. I didn't look down. Two episodes ago. All right, well, who hasn't gone second, I guess? I'm up, you idiot. I have to do some explaining. So I have a coffee bean dicer, a slicer, a grinder, sorry, a coffee bean grinder. You gave me shit for the toaster oven, and you're giving me a coffee grinder? Let me explain the accoutrement for my coffee grinder. I mean, I'll give you points for using the word accoutrement in this segment. We got really into this one coffee brand we found on Amazon. I won't say it because they're not paying us yet, but on my counter, we have the beans to use in the grinder. We also have pre-ground coffee from the same company, and then we also have pre-ground decaf coffee from the same company. And then just in case you don't want to do any of that work, we also have cake cups from the same company. So you really love this company, and you love coffee? Well, and we kind of got all the stages you could have of the bean post-tree. Okay, so you're making your own coffee shop is what you're trying to tell us. Cool. But also, if you don't want to, we also have cake. I don't know that Amazon coffee is going to qualify as sophisticated or pretentious or fancy. Yeah, but I think it's half every single possible option is pretentious, I think. You get the annoying thing of, I will grind it myself because I just love that freshness, or I'd be lazy as fuck and just have the cake up, which is horrible for the environment. The whole reason you would have a grinder in the first place. Brian, I would love to give you points for that. I really would. But here's the problem. I've been to your house recently, and you told me part of this story. And I know that definitely at least some of this coffee was not purchased to have all of the options. It was because you made a mistake and you ordered the wrong thing. That sounds like classic, Ryan. All of it. All of it is because I ordered the wrong thing. Why would I ever want the bean? Why would I want the beans? Who wants that? I want you to do some of the work, coffee company. I'm not a coffee employee, all right? Brad, how about you? Yeah, so I took a non-food approach to this. Weird. For me, this is pretentious only because I did not buy this item. This item found me, in a way. Yeah, this item chose me, of all people. Tough start. I'll tell you that. Curtis was with me for this. We were in Universal Studios Orlando. Oh, nice. I have the tendency to fall asleep all the time. So we were on a train from one side of the Harry Potter world to the other side of the Harry Potter world. And I magically woke up from this, from my little nap on the train. And a Harry Potter wand was in my hands. I picked up a Harry Potter wand out of nowhere. It really came to me. And it was funny because one of the people I was with had just bought a $50 wand. And I don't think she was too happy that I just... Oh, no, no. To be clear, she was looking forward to buying the $50 one. And her boyfriend was really annoyed that he still had to after you found one for free. Correct. I didn't find one. The wand chose me. Do you think it's sophisticated to sleepwalk and steal somebody's wand? Or do you think that it's pretentious to wake up and just have a wand? It's pretentious to do all the things you just said. I think it's pretentious to be in Harry Potter land and actually recreate the train scene from the third movie of Harry Potter. Honestly, I think it's pretentious to be in Harry Potter land. Well, quite expensive, I believe. Hey, I got a free wand, so I win. I think Lilith would appreciate it. Of my choices, I'm voting for Brad in this case. There's no way Lilith would look at that and be like, how sophisticated of you, Bradley. You slept and woke up with that thing. There's no chance. Uh-oh. But also, Curtis did a bad job. He didn't even choose the right thing in his own apartment, so I will also have to go Brad. Well, I got the point for that one. You should have. You got lucky. Well, I got lucky because you guys did a try in that round. I did. You picked stuff that is your mistake. You stole something in your sleep. And Curtis doesn't know anything in his apartment. Curtis is just really bad at cataloging his apartment. The important thing is that we have completed all five legs of our three-line andathlon. And we have a definitive winner, which is not me. I've lost definitively. And I think that's enough. I think that's fine. You know, being pretentious, Curtis being the loser makes sense. So, Curtis, the audience, honestly, me for having to hear some of that. Yeah, there's a lot of losers. I don't think it's just Curt.

Answer: And it was going to be a great time, but I just chipped my last mug. And if I don't get out to the specialty goods store before it closes, we're not going to have coffee in the morning.

You gave me shit for the toaster oven, and you're giving me a coffee grinder? Let me explain the accoutrement for my coffee grinder. I mean, I'll give you points for using the word accoutrement in this segment. We got really into this one coffee brand we found on Amazon. I won't say it because they're not paying us yet, but on my counter, we have the beans to use in the grinder. We also have pre-ground coffee from the same company, and then we also have pre-ground decaf coffee from the same company.

But also, if you don't want to, we also have cake. I don't know that Amazon coffee is going to qualify as sophisticated or pretentious or fancy. Yeah, but I think it's half every single possible option is pretentious, I think. You get the annoying thing of, I will grind it myself because I just love that freshness, or I'd be lazy as fuck and just have the cake up, which is horrible for the environment. The whole reason you would have a grinder in the first place. Brian, I would love to give you points for that. I really would. But here's the problem. I've been to your house recently, and you told me part of this story. And I know that definitely at least some of this coffee was not purchased to have all of the options. It was because you made a mistake and you ordered the wrong thing. That sounds like classic, Ryan. All of it. All of it is because I ordered the wrong thing. Why would I ever want the bean? Why would I want the beans? Who wants that? I want you to do some of the work, coffee company. I'm not a coffee employee, all right?

Answer: And a Harry Potter wand was in my hands. I picked up a Harry Potter wand out of nowhere. The wand chose me. Answer qualification: We were in Universal Studios Orlando.

Adjudication: There's no way Lilith would look at that and be like, how sophisticated of you, Bradley. Reviewed full source context: Brad, how about you? Yeah, so I took a non-food approach to this. Weird. For me, this is pretentious only because I did not buy this item. This item found me, in a way. Yeah, this item chose me, of all people. Tough start. I'll tell you that. Curtis was with me for this. We were in Universal Studios Orlando. Oh, nice. I have the tendency to fall asleep all the time. So we were on a train from one side of the Harry Potter world to the other side of the Harry Potter world. And I magically woke up from this, from my little nap on the train. And a Harry Potter wand was in my hands. I picked up a Harry Potter wand out of nowhere. It really came to me. And it was funny because one of the people I was with had just bought a $50 wand.

And her boyfriend was really annoyed that he still had to after you found one for free. Correct. I didn't find one. The wand chose me. Do you think it's sophisticated to sleepwalk and steal somebody's wand? Or do you think that it's pretentious to wake up and just have a wand? It's pretentious to do all the things you just said. I think it's pretentious to be in Harry Potter land and actually recreate the train scene from the third movie of Harry Potter. Honestly, I think it's pretentious to be in Harry Potter land. Well, quite expensive, I believe. Hey, I got a free wand, so I win. I think Lilith would appreciate it. Of my choices, I'm voting for Brad in this case. There's no way Lilith would look at that and be like, how sophisticated of you, Bradley. You slept and woke up with that thing. There's no chance. Uh-oh. But also, Curtis did a bad job. He didn't even choose the right thing in his own apartment, so I will also have to go Brad. Well, I got the point for that one. You should have. You got lucky. Well, I got lucky because you guys did a try in that round. I did. You picked stuff that is your mistake. You stole something in your sleep. And Curtis doesn't know anything in his apartment. Curtis is just really bad at cataloging his apartment.
