- Game Mechanics
- Rounds: The game consists of multiple rounds where players guess definitions or create fake ones.
- Scoring System:
- Correct definitions earn points (3 points for knowing the definition, 2 points for correctly guessing after seeing all definitions, and 1 point for tricking others).
- If all players fail, the host earns points.
- Key Rounds and Contributions
Round 1
Definition of Baryon
- Definition process involved guessing scientific terms. The actual definition of "baryon" was revealed to be composite particles made up of three quarks.
Round 2
Definition of Jaggies
- The term "jaggies," referring to stair-stepped edges in pixelated graphics due to low resolution or aliasing, was a central focus.
Round 3
Definition of Ooblick
- Ooblick is described as a non-Newtonian fluid, and the players had fun navigating through definitions, with participants like John Henry and Angelica showing knowledge of the term.
Round 4
Google Autocomplete Challenge
- Players guessed Google’s autocomplete suggestions for "When does the...?" The correct answer turned out to be "When does the stock market open?"
- Final Round and Winner
- The final round involved another Google autocomplete game where players guessed the autocomplete for "Why is my...?"
- The correct answers revolved around bodily functions, specifically "Why is my poop green?" and "Why is my pee red?" which resulted in a playful atmosphere.
- Winner: Matthew Sanabria, who successfully navigated the rounds and won with a total of 18 points.

Automatic transcript. May contain errors.0:14Welcome to changelog and friends, a weekly talk show about osobuna. Thanks to our partners at fly.io, the public cloud built for developers who ship. We love Fly. You might too. Learn all about it at fly.io. Okay, let's play.
0:42Well, friends, I'm here with Terrence Lee talking about what's coming for the next generation of Furoku. They're calling this next gen FUR. Terrence, one of the biggest moves for FUR in this next generation of Heroku, it's being built on open standards and cloud native. What can you share about this journey? If you look at the last half a decade or so, like there's been a lot that's changed in the industry. A lot of the 12 factorisms that have been popularized and are well accepted, even outside the Ruby community, are things that are, I think, table stakes for building modern applications, right?
1:14And so being able to take all those things from kind of 10, 14 years ago, being able to revisit and be like, OK, we help popularize a lot of these things. We now don't need to be our own island of this stuff. And it's just better to be part of the broader ecosystem. Like you said, since Heroku's existence, there's been people who've been trying to rebuild Heroku. I feel like there's a good Kelsey quote where we can stop trying to rebuild Heroku. It's like people keep trying to build their own version of Heroku internally at their own company, let alone the public offerings out there. I mean, I feel like Heroku has been the gold standard.
1:46Yeah, I mean, I think it's the gold standard because there's a thing that like Heroku's hit this like piece of magic around developer experience, but give me enough flexibility and power to do what you need to do. OK, so part of fur and this next generation of Heroku is adding support for.NET. What can you share about that? Why.NET and why now? I think if you look at.NET over the last decade, it's changed a lot. .NET is known for being this Windows-only platform. You have WinForms, use it to build Windows stuff, double IS. And it's moved well beyond that over the last decade. You can build.NET on Linux, on Mac.
2:25There's this whole cross-platform open-source ecosystem, and it's become this juggernaut of an ecosystem around it. And we've gotten this ask to support.NET for a long time, and it isn't a new ask. And regardless of our support of it, people have been running.NET on Heroku in production today. There's been a mono bill pack since the early days when you couldn't run.NET on Linux. And now with.NET Core, the fact that it's cross-platform, this.NET Core bill pack that people are using to run their apps on Heroku. The kind of shift now is to take it from that to a first-class instance. And so what that means for Heroku is we have this languages team.
2:59We're now staffing someone to basically live, breathe, and eat being a.NET person, right? Someone from the community that we plucked to be this person to provide that day zero support for the language and runtimes that you expect and like we have for all of our languages, right? To answer your support and deal with all those things when you open support tickets on Heroku and kind of all the documentation that you expect for having quality language support in the platform. In addition to that, one of the things that it means to be first class is that when we are building out new features and things, it is now one of the languages as part of this ecosystem that we're going to test and make sure runs smoothly.
3:37So you can get this kind of N10 experience. You can go to DevCenter. There's a.NET icon to find all the.NET documentation. Take your app, create a new Heroku app, run Git Push Heroku Main, and you're off to the races. So with the coming release of Fur and this next generation of Heroku, .NET is officially a first class language on the platform, dedicated support, dedicated documentation, all the things. If you haven't yet, go to heroku.com slash changelogpodcast and get excited about what's to come for Heroku. Once again, heroku.com slash changelogpodcast.
4:20Welcome to Pound Define. This is a game of obscure jargon, fake definitions, and expert tomfoolery. Our contestants checked their imposter syndrome at the door because they either know what these words mean or they're going to fake it till they make their peers think they know. Let's introduce our players in the order they will be playing. First up, she's our female equivalent of Matt Reier, And if you don't know what I mean, you will know as soon as she begins talking, it's Angelica Hill. Hello. I'm very excited to be here. I hope to prove my worth outside of just being the female replacement for Matt Ryer because he couldn't make it today.
5:05That is the goal is to win and also usurp Matt Ryer as the best Brit on this podcast. Well, I like your odds. I like your odds. plain second our friend fresh off of oxide and friends matthew sanabria what's up matt hey what's up glad to be here and uh fake it even though i made it right you did make it you showed up in the right place at the right time but you still might have to fake some things plain third he's mysterious he's a brake master he's our beat freak he's brake master cylinder Hi. What's up, VMC? How are you? Fine, I think. Thank you for having me on Science Lair. We are very excited.
5:50We wanted to have you talk about the new album, After Party, but you're like, we've talked about music a lot. Let's do something else. And so I was like, come play a game with us. Yeah, thanks. I know nothing about this, so it's perfect. I can talk about music. But if I were to ask you about our brand new album called After Party, what would you say about it? Oh, God, it's just the best. Oh, man. And the sounds, the notes, the levels. The beats. Yes.
6:19And new to the changelog, but not new to me, we've been Omaha acquaintances for many years. It's John Henry Moeller. What's up, man? Oh, hey. Hello from Omaha. You're somewhere. Hello also from Omaha. Well, the greater Omaha area. Not better than, but just outside. That's where I live. All right. maybe also better. I don't know. We'll see. And playing last because we are gracious hosts around these parts. My partner in podcasting, Adam Stachowiak. What's up, man? What's up? What's up? I'm here to win. Fifth time's a charm. Time to find five. Here we go. And of course, I'll be your not so humble host, Jared Santo.
7:04Here is how the game works. We have 10 rounds of play or 15 points scored, whichever comes first. I will present a word. You all will either know the definition of the word and submit that to me, or you will make up a fake definition that acts as if it's the actual definition and see if you can trick everyone else into selecting yours. If you know the correct definition immediately, you get three points and you also get to take a break and sit that round out because you already know the answer. If after I read all the definitions, you guess the correct one, you get two points. And for each person you trick into selecting your definition, you get one point.
7:51Now, if all five of you fail in any given round to select the correct definition, I, you are not so humble host, receive four points. and if I do that enough times you all lose which would be rad I think and your word for round one is barion barion b-a-r-y-o-n please submit to me your definitions now I'm just adding some finesse to mine I know the definition I just need to you know make sure I've explained it clearly enough fair smart even see this game is nice because you get like time to check your email and maybe code up a feature it's not like a typical podcast where you have to be on the whole time that's nice i'm gonna find a therapist
8:49you might have enough time we are not allowed to use no the internet i just assume yeah i mean You don't want to ruin the game. I mean, nobody wants that. Can you hear this?
9:06Ooh, we're off on a quest. Oh, you hear it? You do hear it. Have you ever played Bomb Corp? It's one of those, like, jackbox party games. No. This sounds like the intro music for it. Basically, you defuse bombs, you know? I was going to say, I played Bomberman. Yeah. Check it out. It sounds very similar vibe. All right. So Adam and BMC are both trailing indicators. This, I think, is the actual track that I use in the produced episode during this time. It's kind of nice, right? It's giving me Black Mirror vibes from the recent season. This is a BMC original. It's called Study Hall Adventure. Do you remember making this one?
9:57I do. I remember the video game I was picturing while writing it was it bomb corp? nope maybe I don't know
10:13you've made so much music in your life I wonder if you like forget songs you know yeah yes titles especially yeah alright Adam's in I'm also known for going last yeah so BMC's winning beating you
10:36it's good you're thoughtful before submission I got stressed out and submitted it and then ended up I ended up editing the message after I sent it do you want to resubmit? no I can edit the message once I've sent it to you well but I copy it out of there and put it somewhere else I'll recopy it It was just slight grammatical errors that I needed to correct. I'll recopy it then so I get your edits. Thank you. Appreciate it. And I added a little clarification on the end just to make it crystal clear. Is this on the album? No, it is not. This is actually a really long track. It's like 50 minutes long.
11:17They were like, make it one level. Like if it was a hard level and you keep playing it over and over for like an hour, and you sort of get used to the same music. Do it like that. I have all definitions for berry-on. I will read them now, and then you all will guess which one you think is correct, starting with Angelica and going from there. So, berry-on, a universally recognized culinary term for a cooking technique that covers the entirety of a cake or pastry in various berries. Berry-covered or enrobed in berries. It originates from the Greek berry for berry and on to put on. So, berry on. That was number one.
11:58Number two, the byproduct of a chemical reaction between two or more gases. Number three, a particle used as a comparison marker in microscopic weight measurements. Number four, a chemical mixture often used in sterilization for surgery. number five a new element under review to be added to the periodic table of elements and number six composite particles made up of three quarks such as protons and neutrons there you have it six possible definitions for baryon it's now up to you all to decide which one is the actual definition starting with angelica which one do you think is real i mean i feel like they're chemical molecular or culinary these are my three options yes can i hear the third one again yeah the third one was a particle used as a comparison marker in microscopic weight measurements okay the one about medical procedures i think isn't right the one about a chemical mixture often used in sterilization so that's number four you think that's it or not it no Why not?
13:07I just don't think it's correct. Something in my bones tells me. Okay. I feel like if a doctor came into my room and said, oh, we're about to inject you with baryon, I'd be like, no, you're not.
13:23Very assertive of you. Based on the sound alone, I'm not going to let you do the thing that you went to school to do. Okay. No, I mean, I'd ask a little bit more. you know i need a little bit more context on this strangely named chemical you're about to put to my body is that vibe doctoring oh i think that it might be it's just not the vibe yeah let's call it something else all right i think it's i think it might need to be the second one that i asked you to repeat okay which one was that one the second one or the second one you asked me to repeat the the first one that i asked you to repeat okay that i believe was the second number The tree was a particle used as a comparison marker in microscopic.
14:05That's yours right there? Okay, we'll lock that in. Yes. All right, Matthew, which one do you think is real? There was a number of them, of the definitions around chemical sort of deals. I think there were maybe two or three of them. Can you repeat those? So definition number four was a chemical mixture often used in sterilization for surgery. Okay. Number five was a new element. is that the one you're thinking of or no possibly and number six was composite particles made up of three quarks quarks or quirks quarks can you you're gonna need to say that better cool say it better jared i'm saying it as best as i can there's also number two the byproduct of a chemical reaction between two or more gases oh so there's like four chemically definitions there's a lot that are in the same little category yes okay what are you thinking i i think since there's so many chemical things maybe it's wrong it sounds like it would be around maybe it's yeah it could either go one way it's either it's completely wrong or it's like in the area it's a lot of stuff man that's what it is uh okay i'm i think i'm gonna choose the one that you couldn't pronounce well okay so quarks yeah that one quarks quarks quarks that choice was quirky okay now we go to bmc what do you think gases yeah i have notes good job i like how efficient you are yeah it says gas is right there tangible i like having a pencil it's gas bmc takes two john henry your turn number three was the one that was the measurement one yes that's correct i'm gonna go with that one i think all right so you're you're going with angelica she picked that one as well so we have two for that one and lastly adam would it be a total pain to have you repeat them all absolutely which one do you need all of them i will one specifically let me summarize all six in order okay i'm not going to read them verbatim number one was the culinary one number two was the byproduct of two or more gases number three was the one that's used in microscopic weight measurements number four is the chemical mischer used in surgery except for not angelica surgeries number five a new element under review to be in the table of elements and then number six composite particles made up of three quarks i'm thinking element it's a new element you're going for a new element that's right okay all right all six answers are in but who landed on the right definition let's start right there where we left off.
17:01Adam, you selected a new element under review to be added by the parent. Adam, that was yours. You gotta go away, boy. I love you. He was distracted. He was distracted. Did you see Patrick? I know. Go with Patrick. Mom's away. Dads will play, okay? I had to watch a little bit of Spongebob real quick, but I'm back. He's back. Are you distracted, Adam? Because you selected your own definition. Oh, no. That was on purpose. okay okay so selecting your own while it may trick other people you get zero points for doing that and you went last so the trick couldn't happen either interesting let's move on yeah to it's safe though right because then you're not it is a safe play let's move on to what bmc thought it was the byproduct of a chemical reaction between two more gases he even wrote down gas right there on a piece of paper that was matthews so one point to matthew speaking of matthew he thought it was the quirky one that i couldn't pronounce and you know what that's exactly what baryon is so he got it correct baryon composite particles made up of three quarks such as protons and neutrons you get two points so everyone you mispronounce the definition got it okay we're in this we know what we're doing now but there are more points to give out because As both Angelica and John Henry piled on to BMC's definition, the weight measurements, that was BMC.
18:27So two points, BMC. Not bad. I thought I was tricked. I thought I was tricked by Angelica. No. Nope. You're tricked by BMC. Yeah. But I was right. It was not used for surgical procedures. So my gut instinct was correct. 100%. That was mine. That was his. Yeah. Now, there is a bear yum, isn't there? is not a thing that they do for like enemas and stuff. Over beryllium? Maybe. I'm just a vibe doctor, not a real doctor. All right. So after round one, Matthew's in the lead with three. BMC has two and the rest of us have not scored quite yet. We move now to round two. And the word for round two is Jaggies.
19:14Jaggies. J-A-G-G-I-E-S. jaggies please submit your definition for jaggies now are we saying these are all stem words um they're in the general world of that but they're not specifically they just call them like yes ish don't know they aren't strictly stem but they are certainly stemmy because like one time you were like oh what was that word galfrey getting with food it was a big stew right in previous games we've had stem rounds and non-stem rounds and today I just decided just throw out the rules and just do words okay alright Adam is in he's not the last one this time around I'm fighting for my right to party man get your jaggies on I'm trying to move like Jaggies.
20:22If I didn't know the definition, I would have gone that direction and made y 'all laugh. Ooh, there's BMC coming in hot. I'm missing my own right way because I already knew what it was. Simpatico, Angelica. Simpatico, you and me. All right, we have six definitions for Jaggies. Only one of them is actually the definition. Here they are. Number one, containers used to hold raw mining material before being processed. Number two, stair-stepped edges in pixelated graphics due to low resolution or aliasing. Number three, comfortable pants for remote working, a play on jeggings.
21:06Number four, an irregular pathway taken by an object in response to magnetic stimuli. number five in digital photography when an image is not clear the image will have jaggies and number six a gen z slang term initially used in colloquial typing and texting to refer to the lightning bolt emoji and this usage has now transitioned into the realm of software engineering in this technical context jaggies indicates sections within within code where high computational load or intensive processing is handled drawing a visual parallel to the sharp energetic nature of a lightning bolt and it's linked to electricity okay oh my gosh now you've heard all six definitions we start with matthew which one do you think is actual uh can you repeat please number two four and five i wrote them down this time but i didn't get a chance to write them all It's all good.
22:08It's hard to keep track of all this stuff. Okay, number two was the stair-stepped edges in pixelated graphics. Do you want the full thing due to low resolution or aliasing? Number four is an irregular pathway taken by an object in response to magnetic stimuli. And number five is in digital photography, when an image is not clear, the image will have jaggies. Okay, I'm between two and four here. Okay. Stair-stepped edges due to aliasing. That sounds right, but so does the magnetic stimuli of the irregular pathways. That sounds fun, too. I'm going to lock in number four with the magnetic stuff. All right, number four locked in.
22:48I go now to BMC. Can you rapid-fire go through all of them? As short as you like. I just want to hear how you say it. Go. Number one was the containers that hold raw mining material. Number two was the pixelated graphics. Number three was comfortable pants. Number four was the irregular pathway. Number five is the digital photography. And number six was the Gen Z slang term. I'm going pants. I love your conviction. He's going pants. All right, John Henry, your turn. Pants sounds pretty convincing there. Also, the very run-on Gen Z term. Wow, there was so much detail. How can it be wrong, right?
23:35I mean, that's, but I think I'm going to have to go with number four, the pathways that I was convincing and not an obvious sound to the term. So I like that. Piling on with Matthew on number four. How about you, Adam? I'll spread it out. I'm going for the last one because whoever wrote that deserves some points. adam picks the gen z slang term for the lightning bolt emoji that turned into a software engineering term well you guys know the rest next up angelica last up angelica can you i mean i wrote down two four and six so four i remember two was the jagged edge what was the two one yeah the stair stepped edges in pixelated graphics due to low resolution or aliasing okay and four is the one that matthew and john henry both picked okay and six is the lightning bolt emoji draggy's just too fun to not be to do with something that's visual but i don't think it's a photography one as someone who who aspires to be able to understand gen z i think i'll go with the last one so you are picking the last one maybe it'll make me cool yeah i can whip it out if it's correct talk to the the gen z's get some some cred that would be cool well adam also picked that one so let's start right there and see maybe that is what jaggies are however angelica didn't you write that one yeah i did yeah you're right it was so cool it deserved to be selected so you don't get any points for selecting yourself but you do get one point for getting adam to select see well simpatico now Now, Matthew and John Henry piled on to number four, an irregular pathway taken by an object in response to magnetic stimuli.
25:23Well, that was very convincing, and that was BMC's made-up definition. Good job, BMC. Very nice. Two points for you, which means it's up to BMC to actually select correctly. Otherwise, your not-so-humble host gets the points this round. You thought it was comfortable pants for remote work. Play on jeggings. what do you think is that right do i think it's right uh it's either that or the stairs thing but yeah let's go all in on pants all in on pants and all out on the correct answer so four points for me the correct definition of jaggies is stair-stepped edges in pixelated graphics due to low resolution or aliasing that's what i was trying to say when my photography one you were somewhat close i almost gave you you should give it to me that's what it is that's what i know if from photography.
26:12You use the word jaggies in the definition and you can't do that. So I just, I couldn't give it to you. That's what I meant. You know where I'm at with this. I'm getting robbed here y 'all. Wait, are you not allowed to put the name, the word in the definition? Is that not allowed? I mean, technically when you define something, you're not supposed to use the word in the definition. I didn't know the clinical version of it. I just knew when an image isn't clear, you get those jaggies. Jaggedy. The jaggies. I don't think that's usually for photography though. That's usually more like the context is more video game dev yeah that's what i figured it would be yeah if you had said video games i probably would have given it to you well i only know it in the context of photography i'm sorry that's all right it's like saying a bite is not a bite because you experience it somewhere else so you know still bite what are you biting into over there like someone's leg a bit or a bite that'd be jaggy all right let's move down to round three well hold on let's add up these totals because you know what i might have just moved into first place oh i did i am tied with BMC in first place with four points.
27:11Matthew has three, Angelica won, and so far. Sir, I think your math is incorrect. Isn't it three for getting someone? Or isn't it three for guessing the correct definition? It's three if you guess it initially. It's two if you guess it at the end. So had Adam actually just given me the correct definition, even though he was somewhat close, he would have got three immediately. But if you guess it correctly at the end, you get two. Oh, okay. If you guess it correctly during, okay, I understand that. After you hear the definitions, yes. Okay, so your math is correct. I understand that. And you get a point when somebody guesses yours?
27:44It's fooled, yeah. That's right. Like picture pants? Oh, my bad. You're right. Oh, thank you. Fair. So my math is wrong. I just didn't write that point down. He was the pants one, John. Yeah, he was the pants one. I just forgot because I was moving on to the fact that I won the round. Yeah, that was a good one. Jeggings. I liked it. I feel like I'm learning already in this game that the more detailed the answer, other than Adam, who appreciates it, got to keep it short and sweet yeah you're writing books over there just letting my creativity fly that was very creative i liked it it's hard for me to read that long without starting to laugh yeah i'm sorry i'll try i'll make them short okay i just want to i want to represent your definitions well and it's just the more i'm reading the more just it gets become kind of uh funny okay i hear you jared i hear you now i don't want to shut out john henry he's has a point so he got adam locked in the dungeon now all by himself and the rest of us on the board.
28:36Let's move now to round three, where the word for round three is ooblick. Ooblick, that's O-O-B-L-E-C-K, ooblick. It's fun to say, at least. It is fun to say. Is it fun to define? We'll find out right after this. Well, friends, I'm here with David Hsu, CEO of Retool. David, I want to talk about awareness beyond Silicon Valley. Retool has a great presence and a great awareness inside Silicon Valley, but what about beyond? What's really cool is I think we've done a really good job of building awareness inside of Silicon Valley. And so when you look at customers that use Retool, pretty much every big company in Silicon Valley, above a thousand people today, now uses Retool and builds internal apps via Retool.
29:25So that's really awesome. And I'm really proud of the progress we've made there. But I think the larger opportunity for us, actually, it's outside of Silicon Valley. When you think about, for example, the Kroger's of the world, the Coca-Cola's of the world, many of them are customers already today. But I think we haven't done as good as a job building awareness, if you will, around the developers and all these companies. And that, to me, is where the opportunity lies. Because so much of these companies run on software. Software is so important. If you think about Coca-Cola, for example, Coca-Cola's not really gotten any cheaper to manufacture in the last 10 or 20 years.
29:56Instead, the reason why Coca-Cola is doing well as a company is because they are getting more productive by better software. And so every company needs to become a software company, and Retool lets you do that. So Coke is a big company, but the principle rings true. Become more efficient by using better software. There you go. Well, if you're beyond Silicon Valley, raise your hand. We want to hear from you. I want to tell Dave that we've reached people beyond Silicon Valley. that we're raising the awareness of what Retool is and what Retool does and some big announcements coming soon here on Changelog, which is cool.
30:31Well, if you haven't yet, go to retool.com, get a demo, try it out for free. All that good stuff. Again, retool.com.
30:43How do we know that you're giving us the right pronunciation of these words? I just take my word for it. Okay, understood. But are you claiming to? You've lied about math. Yeah. I make no claims. Neither expressed or implied. Most of these I looked up the pronunciation. I actually forgot to on this one, but don't Google it because you'll know the definition. Let me make sure I'm saying it right. Hold on, maybe this will work. Hey Siri, define ooblick. No, no, no. No. Did anyone things go off? No? Damn it. Why are you trying to get other people the answer? Yeah. You think I have Siri enabled on my phone?
Read the full transcript
31:17What's that? We don't like her. I don't call her Siri anymore. She never called me back, so. My brother's ex-girlfriend is called Siri. I'm sorry for her loss. Was that her name or he just called her that? No, that was her legit name. That hurts. So are you giving us the proper pronunciation or... I was waiting for that personally. Oh, my bad. I actually got distracted and started with someone else. Oh, okay. I was just waiting for that. I was just, you know, just curious. Okay, I just confirmed it's OOBLEC specifically as I said it. so since you said you check your email during this and you also said that not every email gets a response is now a good time to email you this'd be a great time okay perfect this reminds me while we wait for bmc you guys may or may not know that i have an entire soundboard of bmc noises really i just like anything that makes me happy and i do that and then i do the next thing you're welcome uh words to live by do this thing you like glitchy things and you know things okay that's my definition here's my favorite one heckins yeah i said to myself
32:40sometimes i throw those in at the end of the show when i'm thanking you for making our beats Yes, I've heard. Oh, you've heard. Nice. This one, I'll usually throw in this one. I'm here for your sound needs. I'm here for your sound needs. I'm here for your sound needs. Hold on, I'm getting distracted by all the smart, funny things I say. One second. Do you still need jobs? If you're listening, I need jobs. Thank you. That was just me talking. Please give me work. Please give me work. You sound like Batman. He's the one who does. You're both Batman and Spider-Man evil octopus man at the same time.
33:21Aw, thank you. You're welcome. I love a backhanded compliment. Oh, cool. Aw, man!
33:35I actually really do like your goggles. If I could get prescription goggles, that would be awesome. That would be awesome. But I can't see past, like, two inches on my face, so... Right. I would need them to be very heavy. Yeah. I like these. They have saved my face. From what? Doorways. Door frames. One of these is shattered. I was gonna say, you can't hit doorways. You can hit door frames or doors. This was going to be my face, instead it shattered this. And I find it very lucky. The end. Do you routinely hit into door frames? I did that one time. Like a regular car. Oh, okay. That's why I bought these.
34:16It was like one day. I'm going to go face first into a door for no reason. All right. We have all definitions for OOBLEC. And this round will be a little different than the rest because two of our contestants actually got the correct definition for OOBLEC. Three points awarded to Angelica and John Henry. You guys both know what OOBLEC is. Yes, John. The rest of us will have to find out. So we'll actually only have four definitions. Since those two were the correct definition, they merge down onto the real one. And we start with oomlaic, a non-Newtonian fluid that acts as both a liquid and solid under stress.
34:58Number two, oomlaic. Similar to an umlaut, the oomlaic is used to indicate the pronunciation of a word. number three a piece of communication network that filters some data while setting aside others for future dispatch and number four a gritty adhesive formed by mixing sand water and epoxy so four definitions of oobleck one of those is correct angelic and john henry sit this round out since they already know what it is and bmc gets to pick first first one first one the non-newtonian fluid Okay. BMC. You said it funny. Is there. We go to Adam. It is funny. What's the last one again? The gritty substance?
35:41A gritty adhesive formed by mixing sand, water, and epoxy. Oh, yeah. That's it. That's it. Adam takes that one. We go now to Matthew. So I heard the first one was a non-Newtonian something or other. Correct. The last one was gritty adhesive. What were the second two? The middle two? The middle two was similar to an umlaut. a oogleck is used to indicate the pronunciation of a word and the other middle one was a piece of a communication network that filters some data while setting aside other for future dispatch. That one's spelled incorrectly. There's some mistakes in that one so I'm going to pass on that one.
36:16Okay. I'm thinking one one sounds the best here and I don't know if this group would say something like non-Newtonian So I think I'm going to lock in for one, actually. Okay. So not only does he select number one, he also disses everybody. This group wouldn't say non-Newtonian. They aren't smart enough. But we knew what it was, so. That's a good point. So Angelica and John Henry already knew that OOBLEC was a non-Newtonian fluid that acts as both a liquid and a solid under stress. So BMC and Matthew each get two points for guessing it correctly. Did you guys not go to elementary school? Or like, you guys don't know what this is?
37:13I just skipped straight to. I don't know how you know what it is. So can you please explain to me what context we're all missing? the cornstarch and water mixture that you can punch and that feels solid and then you hold it and it drips through your fingers i went outside as a kid i don't know what you're talking about so this is also a commercial product i guess when angelica you were talking about the commercial product right yeah yeah and she called it an ooey gooey kids toy like slime with specs in it. Which is true. I've never heard this in my life. I actually hadn't heard it in a boob like either.
37:51And so I'm very impressed by you two. When we say me and John we're just slimy. That's all right. And then Adam selected the gritty adhesive formed by mixing sand, water and epoxy and that's Matthew. So he gets another point. So three points for you. Three points for Angelica. Two for BMC. Three for John Henry. Adam and I shut out this round. So after three rounds tied for first is Matthew and BMC with six tied for second is Angelica John Henry myself with four and we leave Adam where he was previously let's move now to round four I have faith in you I do not I do not there's a strategy that's right he has a strategy This round is a little different.
38:39We call this give it a goog. Give it a goog. Where I went out to Google in an incognito browser window, so no personalization, and I started giving it a goog. Then I stopped and checked for the first autocomplete. Your job is to come up with what the first autocomplete was or ostensibly what you can trick other people into thinking that it was. the query that i queried was when does the i typed when does the and then i stopped what do you think google suggested as the number one autocomplete please submit to me your autocompletes now did you do this this search or this autocomplete yourself on your machine incognito window a vpn and it can you put the text that you put in the channel for sure Adam was the first one in this time, so he's...
39:37Oh, that's because I know the answer. He's changing things around. How often do you write that into Google to know the answer to that? Well, this one's obvious. Well, the cool thing about it is it's kind of a proxy for the human condition, is it not? Like, what were people asking it? What do people wonder? When does the... When does the fox say? I was thinking of that, too. That's what does the fox say. Very close, though. oh dang that's what i said and did you do this today this search such a search i don't answer any further questions okay that's fair that's very relevant though it is really relevant what does the fox say no when you when you did it you did this yeah like it was like six years ago he's super different he prepared for this show a long time ago.
40:27He's been doing this, yeah. He planned this. Where'd he come from? Where'd he go?
40:35BMC's with me. BMC's here for our sound needs. If you're listening, I need jobs. Thank you. I'm here for your sound needs. It's kind of more fun when BMC's here than it even is when he's not. I'm having fun that Withy's here. Oh, God.
40:58Alright, we're just down to one person. Not in. Buy my music! Buy my music! Buy my music! That's a good soundbite. Next time we release an album, we'll just play that one. At the end. On repeat. Or at the beginning. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, do it. You chose phrases that have, like, I don't know. They don't have much... Yeah! That's a good one, right? Yeah. Yeah, okay. I'm on board with that. Okay. Six potential Google auto complaints for when does the number one, when does the current administration end? Number two, when does the sun rise? Number three, when does the time change? Number four, when does the stock market open?
41:49Number five, when does the sun set near me? And number six, when does the world end? Existential. All right. six potential. When does those John Henry? So going through these, what was the first one? Current current administration. Oh, that, yeah, that's, I'm, I'm certainly wondering that. Um, but, uh, I don't know. I don't, I don't know if Google would, uh, go there. Maybe, maybe not. I'm not sure. Oh, it would. It would. Oh yeah. Is this global Google though? Or is this us based? This is Jared's incognito. Jared's IP address in Omaha or whatever. Yeah, I didn't VPN very far. Sunrise is plausible.
42:35They're all plausible, actually. Stock market. Sunset near me. I like the near me. Does that mean the sunset's, like, as close to you as possible, or? I don't know. Google just always, like, adds that in those searches, and so that's what made me think. I'm going with number five. Number five. When is the sunset near me? Okay. Adam, what do you think? I haven't been paying attention. Sorry.
43:02What are we doing here? Well, the scoreboard accurately reflects that. Yes. What are we doing here? Are you still watching SpongeBob? Yeah, I am, actually. Patrick's so awesome. Let's see here. There are two that are near me. Which ones are those? Read those to me, please. Well, one was when does the sunset near me? That's number five. And then the other one was when does the sun rise, but does not say near me. Number five is the only one that says near me. That's Mandela fact, I think, right? I remember both of them saying near me. No, we would all have to remember it. Otherwise, it's just you being wrong.
43:42Let's see here. What was the first one again? The first one was when does the current administration end? Number two. You think number two is the right answer? When does the sun rise? near me no
44:00that could be your additional add-on yeah would it change your answer if it said near me on it i feel like a near me is probably accurate but i'm not going to go that route i'm going to go to lock it in tight when does the sun rise okay angelica i don't think it's the administration one and i don't think it's the world end one okay so you're down to four then So I've got the two sun ones and the time zone stock market. I don't think the stock market is broadly applicable to the world. So I don't think that many people will Google that. Famous last words, if it is that. Going on what I would care about, I care about when the sun rises and sets.
44:41So I'm also on the line of thinking of, is there near me? I think last time I locked in with Adam, it was good. So I'm going to lock in. You're going with Adam. Okay, when does the sun rise? You're sympathetically incorrect. I put my faith in you, Adam. So I'm like... Oh, you know. All right, Matt. Can you give me the quick rundown of all of them again? Number one is the current administration. Number two is the sun rising. Number three is time changing. Number four is the market opening. Number five is the sun setting near me. And number six is the world ending. Okay. I haven't used Google in a very long time, so I don't know what Google even suggests anymore.
45:26I've also never seen a suggestion ever say near me, so I think that one's out for me. Yeah, that's not true. Nor am I, honestly. I also don't autocorrect much. Yeah, I've never seen a near me thing pop up. It already knows where you're at. Right, exactly. It already knows where you are. Near me's are specific nouns, like, where is the nearest gas station near me? Yeah, I think if you had started with that, then the near me would have all took credit. Well, sunrise and sunset are geographically dependent, right? It sets a different time, different places. Yeah, but I feel like Google has evolved that it knows my geo.
46:02All right, what are you thinking, Matthew? All right, so if you're doing this from Omaha,
46:09I'm torn between the sunrise and the stock market, honestly. But I think we've over-indexed on the sunrise, so I think I'm going to go the other way. and do the stock market opening. He's playing the spread. Okay. When the world ends, huh? Okay. Good job. You're going to lose. That's a good choice, when the world ends. It's not right. Is that what you picked? No. He picked the stock market. Oh. I thought he said, where are the when ends? I mean, come on. That's the right answer. Come on. That's the right answer. Lastly, BMC, what do you think? World end? Oh, he's not. I wonder who wrote that one.
46:44End of days. Fan finger. What are those things called? giant hand i got this in 2020 and it's going to be useful sometimes eventually it will every five years useful all right so bmc picks the world ending adam was very excited that you were interested in the world ending because adam wrote the world ending so one point for adam when the world ends see i had faith in you adam i would keep doing that it's amazing John Henry was interested in the sun setting near him and nobody else was interested in that one it happened to be his own so he gets zero points couldn't quite bring people along for the ride he's trying to lobby that yeah it almost worked but then they were all using logic and stuff let's see what else I see that I see the near me all the time oh do you yeah no you guys don't no I don't use me yeah i guess i don't really think about the autocomplete much well i mean like in maps maybe you know when i'm like looking for like a chick-fil-a near me like search nearby yeah that's where i see the near me that's like a button though you can press near me right the gps thing i saw a dentist that was named something like near me for seo reasons last name near me it was his last name dr near me uh dr near me paging dr near me if i was a doctor i'd name myself on the plane you know is there a doctor on the plane i just get hit every time uh the sun rising was also popular with adam and angelica adam picked it because he thought it was right angelica picked it because she thought she could fool more people i guess because that's hers she gets one point you you reduce the addition to others see i had faith in you giving me points adam i was doing it was i was you know i felt the the brain waves coming through like a yeah like a oblec or what the heck is that thing called like an oblec oblec like an oblec a jaggy oblec uh nobody picked the time change that was matthews nobody picked the current administration ending that was bmc's also there's a time limit on it right so people don't ask that question it's four years minus whatever 100 days no it's going to be like 12 years if he has anything to do with it.
48:59Well, yeah, we'll see how many administrations there are. And then Matthew picked the stock market, which was the actual answer, Angelica. So you need to eat some crow here. When does the stock market open is the number one autocomplete for when does the. Oh, no. Can I check this now? Here's the number two, three and four and five autocompletes. When does the time change? So, Matthew, you actually had the second best autocomplete. I've Googled that before. I've searched that before. You get zero points, but you do get two for getting it right. So good job there. When does the WNBA season start?
49:39So shout out to Caitlin Clark for probably affecting those results. WNBA, very popular all of a sudden. And then when do the NBA playoffs start? Of course, they're going on right now. And then the last one, number five, was when does the sun set? No near me, though, John Henry. So you're close. But I only care about near me because you're a narcissist. It's rolling, you know? It's something somewhere all the time. Right. That's fair, I think. I tried this out right now after submitting. I think it's subjective to where you are, subjective to where you are, because my top one is when does the Minecraft movie come out?
50:18Are you logged in? That is my top. I'm incognito mode. I put when does the, and it says Minecraft movie. okay everybody right now go incognito and do a search and john henry and i are very closely approximate to each other so we'll see if he gets what i got when does the minecraft movie come out and then when does the time change and then when does the time change 2025 my three options i pretty much have that same thing yeah yeah my top search is when does the world end jeez mine is when does the sun rise uh and then number two is yeah and then number two is when does the mlb season start near me i don't know how that near me that's spectacular because it starts the same time everywhere but maybe they just uh maybe google fingerprinted me somehow even though i'm incognito and it's like this guy wants to know when the stock market opens even though i've never served that in my life you did mention slack shares and stuff so you know it knows you have stocks in your mind i do know what the stock market is this is true i do know what it is i feel like mine was the number one on john's browser so i should at least get like a half point come on it's integers only i'm sorry hold on john henry's doing another one now different from my my browser no it's not john it's it's cracked but then when i go to google.com and the autocomplete that's different well that's what i did google.com i think the browser is definitely cracked i think the browser address bar is probably using your stuff there anyways i'm gonna go see minecraft all right so after four rounds now we have matthew in a commanding lead with eight followed by BMC with six, Angelica with five.
52:09John Henry and I are tied with four, and Adam's on the board now with one. Half a point. How many points, BMC? This many points for Adam. You have the finger. That's right. BMC with just one finger. Move. It's the right finger, at least. That's true. All right. We move now to round five. This is a brand new format. We've never done this one before. or I call it weird flicks, but okay, where I have gone out and found a weird old movie. And your job, I will give you the title and the date of the year that movie came out, and your job is to write the tagline or the synopsis, the one-sentence synopsis of the movie, having known nothing but the title and the year it came out.
53:02Make sense? mm-hmm yes the movie that's tagline you're gonna write was a 1924 flick called he who gets slapped he who gets slapped now you are in charge of the actual synopsis please submit those to me whenever they're ready is it a talkie like those uh chips that are real spicy no like a movie that had spoken what's it and they ate chips. Today we call those movies. Well, I haven't been on Earth for a while. I actually haven't seen it. I do know its title and the synopsis though. It could have been a talkie. From 19 Black and White. I tried to find one of the most obscure movies I could. Just hoping nobody's seen it.
53:54I think I did good. Are you going to be reading these in a cinematic voice, Jared? I feel like you should. Just fully commit. In a world. I don't have a Batman voice. What is it? Like a horror? So dark and foreboding. I do try to be foreboding though. Weird flicks, but okay. We have six potential synopses for the 1924 movie, He Who Gets Slapped. I will read you these now. Number one. Young George's mischievous childhood was punctuated by the sharp sting of a cane. Now an adult, he wakes to phantom slams and inexplicable cane-shaped bruises. Is it madness? His imagination? Or is his past literally leaving its mark?
54:43A chilling psychological thriller based on a true story of buried trauma and the repercussions of being a naughty boy. Okay, number two. A high school student hopelessly searches for love while continuously facing rejection, often physical. Number three, a scared straight short film describing the purported hazards of befriending communists. number four a bitter clown endeavors to rescue the young woman he loves from the lecherous baron who once betrayed him number five in a world where hand gestures have gone too far a group of friends vow to change things and restore the old ways of simple handshakes and high fives and number six when a man decides a raucous night out on the big city is more important than his life back home.
55:42Which of these six very well written, I might say, synopses is actually the one for the 1924 flick, He Who Gets Slapped. We start with Adam. Oh, gosh. I was too busy thinking about who's who and what's what. Yeah. I forgot to listen. You had one job, which was to listen. No, actually, I just need two and four in the last one, I think. So just two, four, and six. So half of them. Okay. Yeah, please. Number two, a high school student hopelessly searches for love while continuously facing rejection, often physical. Oof. Four was a bitter clown endeavors to rescue the young woman he loves from the lecherous baron who once betrayed him.
56:27That's Matt. And number six is when a man decides a raucous night out on the big city is more important than his life back home. Who do I want to get points to? so you think you know who wrote each one oh yeah oh yeah can i get some points for that it could be yeah guess who you can certainly guess who was a twist yeah that'd be a good game i'm gonna give bmc some points and read number three again please a scared straight short film describing the purported hazards of befriending communists yeah that's totally bmc
57:01okay what was the clown one that was number four yeah okay the clown was four three was communists two is physical rejection the first one was young george this is mischievous childhood he got he got caned as a kid
57:20what are you gonna do adam i just already said oh i couldn't hear you i gave the points to number three bmc oh number three bmc okay votes all the way three okay we go now to angelica obviously we all know which one i think it was we do so which one do you actually think it is i what i actually think it is is the last one i think the one about the raucous night out and leaving one's one's family behind feels very 1920s man to me angelica picks number six locks it in. Matthew? I'm going to double on that. Okay. She also picks number six. The raucous night out is... It gives very 1920 vibes. Who uses raucous anymore?
58:07Nobody uses that word anymore. Who says raucous? The flappers and jazz music. The flappers, the big city, raucous nights out. John Henry, are you going to go raucous? Oh, I don't know. I mean, yeah. I like the raucous part. It's a pile on. Oh my gosh. Is that a pile on? Where's Matt when you need him to sing a song? I'm going to go with number four, the clown. He's not piling on. He's playing the spread and he's going with the clown. BMC, what are you going with? Raucous. He's going Raucous. Wow. Wow. That's a pile on right there. Adding to George's poor trauma. He never gets picked. Oh, young George's Mission of Childhood.
59:02Of course, we all do know that Angelica wrote that book about a movie. What gave it away? She duped all of you. Practically had the entire script written. It was a screenplay. It was more of a review than even a synopsis. Good job, Angelica. Very well written. and I enjoyed it from, you know, it was a raucous night out. That was hers. Nobody picked it. Scared Straight short film. All right. So one point for BMC. The pile on Angelica, Matthew and BMC were all out on for a raucous night out. John Henry did not pile on any thoughts as to why maybe he didn't pick it. Well, because he wrote it. Oh, big time, big time.
59:47Three points there. and he's no clown he's got the right answer as well he got two because the actual synopsis of he who gets slapped is a bitter clown endeavors to rescue the old woman he loves from the lecherous baron who once betrayed him wow how'd you know that John Henry well my grandfather wrote the screen probably no it it just seemed like nobody would add a clown into theirs unless they were like, it's just like, it's not quite funny, but it's like kind of like too weird to like, you wouldn't add that to make it like, Oh no, that's not what a movie is about. So it was like, okay, that's just weird enough.
1:00:36Good thinking. Yeah. Like there's nobody, there's no clown inclinations in the title at all. Yeah. And it's not quite weird enough to be funny. but it is weird enough to be the actual synopsis of a 1924 movie and a big score so you got three for foolering and two for getting it correct so that's a five point wow and bmc is the only other person that scored that round with one so big score bringing you into first place with nine points passing matthew with eight bmc was seven angelica with five me with four adam with one Still anybody's game there. Oh, I got the bonus point for getting the side quest.
1:01:18You drilled the side quest. How many points did you get for knowing that BMC wrote that one? At least a half a point, you know. All right, we'll give you a half. Sweet. Adam with 1.5. 1.3. Let's go down to 1.3. Okay, we'll give you a third. 1.3, repeating decimal. Well, friends, building multi-agent software is hard. Agent-to-agent and agent-to-tool communication is still the wild, wild west. So how do you achieve accuracy and consistency in non-deterministic agentic applications? That's where the agency, A-G-N-T-C-Y, comes in. The agency is an open source collective building the internet of agents.
1:02:00And what is the internet of agents? It's a collaboration layer where AI agents can communicate, discover each other, and work across frameworks. For developers, this means standardized agent discovery tools, seamless protocols for interagent communication, and modular components to compose and scale multi-agent workflows. You can now build with other engineers who care about high-quality multi-agent software. Visit agency.org and add your support. That's A-G-N-T-C-Y dot org.
1:02:38We move now to round six where the word for round six is penumbra. So back to the original definition. That's correct. This is a regular round penumbra spelled P-E-N-U-M-B-R-A. and you can submit to me your definitions whenever you have them. I have to think of how to word mine. Clearly it's not correct then, is it? That's up to Jared to decide. Miss. I think it's actually up to the Oxford Dictionary to decide. Mister. Oxford can't even decide where to place a comma so we don't talk to them. Well, you're talking about American English as opposed to the actual English, so. Aren't you in America?
1:03:25Yes. Does that mean I have to adhere to your grammatical errors? No. Excuse me. I don't make grammatical errors. Excuse me. No, you just say like 52 times within an hour. Listen, okay, I tried.
1:03:42All right, we have six definitions for penumbra, one of which is the correct definition, and three points before the round begins goes to Matthew. you. He has the correct definition. He knows what a number is. So you're going to set this one out. Congrats. You've already scored three. And we go now to five definitions. Number one, an area in which something exists to a lesser or uncertain degree. Number two, the largest in a list of numbers. Number three, the second to final stage of a nerve receptor's life cycle. Number four, what's the matter with you, huh? Penumbra. Number five, a geographical or astrological term for a peninsula or a concave piece of land that is in shade on the planet.
1:04:39Angelica goes first. which one do you think is a penumbra? I think I'm between the second one. Which was the largest in the list of numbers. Yes, like the penultimate penumbra that like resonated with my brain. I'm just going to go with that one. Now that I'm talking it through in my brain, it's resonating. She's locking that one in. Okay, now we go to, when we skip Matthew, because he's correct, we go to BMC. Could you say the first three again? Number one was an area in which something exists to a lesser or uncertain degree. Number two was the largest in a list of numbers. And number three was the second to final stage of a nerve receptor's life cycle.
1:05:25My knowledge of prefixes is getting in my way. I hate it when that happens. Me too. Thank you. No one ever says that. The first one. The first one. Okay, BMC picks an area in which something exists to a lesser or an uncertain degree. That means nothing. Go now to John Henry. I'm going to go with the largest number. That seems the most logical. Okay. Piling on with Angelica. Going now to Adam. Angelica chose her own. Let's see here. She says she didn't. I refute that claim. No one puts baby in the corner. Or in the shadows. oh i'm going with the shadow where are you putting babies in the shop in the penumbra in the penumbra what's the matter with you huh a number which one obviously which number is the shadow i don't know like five or something six it was the last one the peninsula with the shadow occurring deep within the jungle gotcha all right so adam goes to that one all right so we'll start right there adam thought angelica picked her own but then adam picked angelica's that was see i was just trying to help you out angelica i just cut you down put you right back up some way i'd do it appreciate it uh angelica thought it was the largest in a list of numbers so did john henry that's because he wrote it so he gets one point oh for fooling one person i knew someone was going with their own this tactic is not getting old you use that tactic one time first round just to open it up let you know it could be possible it's just showing you the possibilities that's right i'm here to teach you how to play the game thanks man i'm simply level one i'm level one and bmc thought it was an area in which something exists to a lesser or uncertain degree that is a penumbra so two points for bmc that's one of the definitions the other one is a partial shadow cause when an object does not completely block a light source.
1:07:29That's what Matthew wrote down. Or the diffuse outer part of a sunspot. Maybe you were really close, Angelica. That's why you convinced. I knew it was some shadowy thing. I did. I like half knew it and I couldn't remember what the actual. Okay. So close you tricked somebody. A number. Like umbrella? Like umbrella. No. This one was an interesting one. I knew this one immediately when you wrote it for two reasons. One, I knew my prefix and suffix here, right? Thank you, Pokemon, Umbreon, Espeon. And then also like when I was doing lighting for my kitchen, when I was placing lights for the ceiling and finding out where to do it, there's always that secondary shadow that's cast under the cabinets.
1:08:13And I wanted to minimize that as much as possible. And I was like, how do I do that? And that's where I found that term. Gotcha. And I was like, oh, that's what that secondary shadow is called. It is a science. Kitchen lighting is a science. So yeah, that's what it is. Yeah. Yeah, no penumbra's in my house. That's right. What's the matter with you, huh? I'm not sure what Adam wrote there. What's the matter with you, huh? Penumbra. Can you explain the logic on that one? Just make y 'all laugh a little bit, you know? Gotcha. Oh, yeah, got to laugh. All right, so three points for Matthew, two for BMC, one for Angelica, one for John Henry.
1:08:51Bringing Matthew into first place with 11. John Henry with 10. BMC with 9. Angelica was six me with four and Adam with 1.3 repeating decimal all right we're getting late in the game now round seven of a potential 10 rounds this is a different round it's called how do you do fellow humans because I have went out to chat GPT and given it a prompt and it has responded I wrote down its response your job is to act as if you are fellow humans and fellow chat GPTers and write your own response to this prompt. The prompt is, create a new word in the world of science fiction and give it a one-sentence definition.
1:09:33It should be both interesting and memorable. So I've written down ChatGPT's response. You'll write down your response as if you are ChatGPT to this prompt. Put it in the chat. I'll read it again for our listener. create a new word in the world of science fiction and give it a one sentence definition it should be both interesting and memorable are y 'all thinking or done already thinking they're thinking i have zero submissions i love this game adam's making himself laugh what's the matter with you huh number that's what's he read in the rocky voice
1:10:30if i can't get me i get jared
1:10:39oh gosh
1:10:45oh no it's going to be a good round oh no
1:10:50you have to enunciate it okay nope oh it's going to be a tough one to read all these
1:11:01gotta play it straight I'm crying this one's hard I'm not going to lie to you this is really hard good little challenge for your for your Tuesday afternoon. I'm going to keep going there, Jared. I'm just going to maybe augment it a little bit, okay? Are you going to change it now? Well, I'm going to go the same direction. I just didn't do a good job.
1:11:28Angelica, you just submitted a second one or are you just clarifying for me? I just thought you thought it would be fun.
1:11:37She's like, I just came back for more. I just added a supplementary meme. I do like that meme. It's an illustrative person. Am I supposed to include that in your actual... It's up to you. I'll give you creative discretion. Okay. This is at your discretion, Jared. You just go whichever direction you want to go, okay? I just need to enunciate. Remember, enunciate. I was so close to writing a description of a new word that was fit with my favorite sticker on my water bottle. looks like krang it kind of does like from ninja turtles yeah yeah but stuck in the game boy oh yeah it does yeah why where why just for like funsies it makes me laugh it is funny but how where'd you get it yeah i also have a worm from worm emporium what do they sell there worms she just answered that one straight this one is actually made by the punchy cat so it's a worm made by the punchy cat have you seen that one thing that's a worm or tiger tail it's a thing you know is it a worm or is it a tiger tail I have seen that I'm not very good at guessing though I feel like if I could touch it I could tell yeah definitely alright We have six potential real responses from ChatGPT.
1:13:08Only one of them is the real response. To the prompt, create a new word in the world of science fiction and give it a one-sentence definition. It should be both interesting and memorable. Response number one, neuroforge, a noun, a clandestine device implanted in the cerebral cortex that allows its user to overwrite memories with synthetic experiences, blurring the line between reality and engineered perception number two i would be happy to here's a new word for you oh so buna a spherical shield around itself that is completely impenetrable and indestructible to everything number three great idea how about zinnis a rare plant with mystical healing properties that could provide a sci-fi spin on a familiar story element number four darlorgon the powerful hybrid offspring of a rogue dalric and a gorgon
1:14:12sorry their unit their union was born sorry their union was born out of both love and due to the potent essence of the gorgon spit sorry as reproductive properties. This has resulted in a uniquely resilient new species within the matrix. Number five, certainly. Here's your new science fiction word that's both interesting and memorable. Aplorate. Aplorate, the treatment of a porous substance to fill all its vessels and create a single entity. Let me know if you'd like more words. I can even use it in a sentence for you. And number six, Jaggies. Comfortable pants. Comfortable pants for remote working.
1:15:01A play on jeggings. Okay. There's six, frankly, spectacular responses by chat GPT wannabes. And we'll see who's who. Angelica, you get to pick first. Which one do you like the most? Can I hit? One through six. You want to hear number four again? Darlorgon? Three in full, please. Okay, three in four. Three says, great idea. How about Zinus? Or Zinus? It's Z-I-N-N-U-S. A rare plant with mystical healing properties. That could provide a sci-fi spin on a familiar story element. And number four was Darlorgon. The powerful hybrid offspring of a rogue Dalric and a Gorgon. Their union was born out of both love and due to the planet.
1:15:53And due to the potent essence of the Gorgon's spit and its reproductive properties, this has resulted in a uniquely resilient new species within the Matrix. That one. That one. Okay. And don't look how it goes for that one. Matthew. Can you repeat one and two? Yes, one was Neuroforge, a clandestine device implanted in the cerebral cortex that allows its user to overwrite memories with synthetic experiences, blurring the line between reality and engineered perception. And number two says, I would be happy to. Here's a new word for you. Osobuna, a spherical shield around itself that is completely impenetrable and indestructible to everything.
1:16:46Number three. All right. He's going for number three, which is the Zinus. We go now to BMC. Yeah, we go to BMC. Were there five or six? There were six. Can you hear the last two? Yeah, the last two. Number five says, certainly. Here's your new science fiction word that's both interesting and memorable. Aplurate, or aplurate, A-P-L-U-R-A-T-E. The treatment of a porous substance to fill all its vessels and create a single entity. Let me know if you'd like more words. I can even use it in a sentence for you. And number six is Jaggies, Comfortable Pants for Remote Working of Play on Jaggies. It may be familiar because you wrote pants down previously.
1:17:26I wrote pants down? Didn't you? Oh, yes, I wrote pants down. Yeah, you did. Yeah. Or the first two. I will now summarize because I cannot do this again. Neuroforge was the first one. And the second one was Osobuna. And the third one? The third one. Zinnis. Do you want the fourth one, too? Because you're just missing that one. The one that had the, yeah, I'll do the fourth one. I probably know what one that is. Wait, what's the fifth? Oh, no, no, no. You asked for the fifth. I don't know. Applerate. Applerate. Which is the one that had the, like, I'd be so happy to put that in a sentence for you.
1:18:08Oh. Well, there's a few of those. So number five said, certainly here's your new science fiction word. That's both interesting and memorable. Oh yeah. And it ends with, I could even use it in a sentence for you. I'm going to go with that one. It seems a little heavy handed on the chat GPT speak, but also I wanna. Okay. We'll give it to you. John Henry. I think I'm going to go. Doesn't have the chat GPT speak, but number one is pretty solid. Neuroforge. Are you locking that in? I'm going to switch it. I'm going to go with number three. Number three. So we now have two people on that one. That's the Zinnis.
1:18:54Adam, last to select. What are you liking? What are you thinking? What are you seeing? What are you doing? I'm thinking deeply. Which one was the one that really got Angelica? Like made her laugh a lot? she really liked when I said their union was born out of both love and due to the potent essence of the Gorgon spit that's what got her see got her again he's going god I hope that's the one
1:19:24lock that in lock that in this is Jared's chat GPT right this is mine yeah okay alright it's in a temporary chat so it doesn't have any context or memory all right six potential responses to the prompt about a science fiction word and a definition where do we begin where do we begin well let's begin right where we left off which is the gorgon spit which is probably a pretty good show title honestly gorgon spit um i'm not sure about that the powerful hybrid offspring of a rogue dalryk angelica how did you come up with this i just thought of random sci-fi stuff it's actually dalek oh and gorgon and then the matrix i basically thought about what chat gpt would define as sci-fi i see and just smidged it together with a little bit of spice so i was pronouncing it wrong when i say dalric yeah i was trying to go for dalek like in doctor who like from uh doctor who your own definition that made you laugh that hard?
1:20:30When you hear someone else say it. When you hear someone else say it. Then it sounds weird. It sounds really odd. When I wrote it, it was perfectly normal. Well, you did convince Adam to select it, so you get a point there. Good job. I called it dargon. Whatever you called it, I appreciate it. Always just lending a hand around here. Matthew, let's see here. Matthew and John Henry, they piled on to Zinus. is that how I should pronounce it BMC? Zennis? He doesn't care what you do. He doesn't care but he made it up. That was BMC's response. Two points for him. Nobody picked Jaggies unfortunately.
1:21:11Nobody picked Osobuna. That's Osobuna. It's more like Osobu? Nah. You should have put like a pronunciation guide in there for me. I should have but I figured you'd get it. Oh, no. I can't get that. When you, you know, it's O-S-O-B-O-O-N-A-H. Nah. Osobu? Nah. Osobu, nah. Apologize. And then BMC picked Applerate. Is that how you pronounce that one, Matthew? Applerate? Yep, that sounds right to me. Okay, one point for you. Nobody picked NeuroForge. John Henry almost picked NeuroForge. But then he changed his mind. That was the correct response from ChatGPT. So four points go to Jared. Woo-hoo. You know, I don't know how four points go into you on this round.
1:21:58This is a fake round. Oh, you would say that, Mr. One Point. Wait, don't people get a point if other people pick their definition? Yeah. Yes, don't I get a point? Yeah, you got one. I gave you one. You're too busy laughing at it. Yeah, you get a point. Oh, thank you, Jared. You're welcome. Appreciate it. You can have another one if you'd like. I can have another one? I don't know if you want to do that. No, me. I can have another one. Oh. why would I like that I could have another one if you like I like that we can both have another one if you like we can all have a few more if we like after round seven we're getting near the end y 'all uh Matthew from first with 12 BMC with 11 John Henry with 10 I move into fourth with eight points Angelica has seven and Adam has 1.3 repeating decimal 2.3 repeating decimal did he get somebody Yeah.
1:22:52Didn't he get a point? No, he got also, boo. Nah. Oh. It was so, I thought it was a point. It was so, like, happy. Oh, you know, I'm just happy. I'm just happy to be here, man. He just happened to be here. I wish I would have pronounced it better for you. I know. Well, the actual definition is pretty solid. Yeah, it was good. The word's funny, but the definition's solid. I didn't really understand it. A spherical shield around itself. That is completely. It's a spherical shield around itself. you know so like a how does a shield go around itself is it two shields you should have said a spherical shield encompassing an object it's like imagine imagine being it's like a force field oh that's what it is a spherical shield around itself like a turtle shell so is it shielding itself is the shield shielding itself it's like a it's a sphere so do you know how spheres work no I I'm a flat earther at this point, so I don't really know.
1:23:51It's not a circle. It's not flat Stanley. It's a circle. A real sphere. What's inside a sphere? It's like a gyroscope. A wheel and a wheel. It's inside of itself. What's inside is itself. Concentric spheres. That's right. And it's completely impenetrable and indestructible to everything. But it had to be penetrated for another sphere to go in there. No, it formed. It formed. Yeah. and so once it was formed what was inside could never be you know penetrated so then wow if it's impenetrable why would there needs to be multiple layers there's not multiple layers it's one layer itself what's inside the sphere in the sphere itself okay i got it i like this world this is a fun world yeah yeah the person who discovered it was with his girlfriend but she was disagreeable so he said that's an awesome boo and she said nah you know what we should give him a point that's That was a good story.
1:24:47All right. We'll give you a third. So you have 1.6 repeating decimal. Perfect. Okay. Let's move down to round eight. Clavichord. Clavichord. C-L-A-V-I-C-H-O-R-D. That's our word. You have to define a clavichord. Adam, why am I thinking about beef bones? There are many reasons. God, really? Maybe you're hungry. Is that what ossobuko is? Ossobuk-na. That's when you turn down the ossobuko. I thought it had like bone marrow in it or something. That's like a drink, isn't it? If you drink cow juice. Ossobuko. Oh, yeah, because ossobuk-a. Ossobuk-a. Also, it must be something like that. Ossobuk-a or ossobuk-a.
1:25:40Also known as obuk-a-la-millanese. Is a specialty of Lombard Quincyne. Of cross veal shanks braised with vegetables. Wine that is white. As well as broth. Sometimes garnished with a little dash of... Osobuna.
1:26:11So there you go.
1:26:16no the word in round eight is clavichord clavichord clavichord six definitions however two of our contestants know what a clavichord is and those two people are Breakmaster Cylinder and Adam Stachowiak so three points to each of you a default three and the rest will play on. So clavichord, is it the muscular and nervous tissue in between the clavicle and scapula? Or is it an avant-garde type of body modification involving the precise insertion of jewelry through the skin above the clavicle bones connected by a decorative cord that drapes across the upper chest and shoulders? Or is it a woodwind instrument similar to a clarinet with 14 keys?
1:27:14Or is it a quiet, archaic keyboard instrument with struct strings that's barely audible? There's your four definitions, and we start with Matthew. So we have two relatively bodily definitions and then two instrument definitions. Is that correct? Yes. The bodily definitions are what? Tissue and muscle around the clavicle. And then some. Yeah, the muscular and nervous tissue. And then the other one is a body modification involving insertion of jewelry through the skin above the clavicle bones. Okay. So one's. Connected by a decorative cord that drapes across the upper chest and shoulders. And then the other ones are instruments.
1:28:01One being a wind instrument. A woodwind instrument similar to a clarinet with 14 keys. And then the other one being a quiet, archaic keyboard instrument with struck strings that are barely audible. So one's a wind and one's a string instrument. Correct. Okay. I don't know. This is a weird one because clavicle clavicle sounds bony body, body-y, but then you have chord. that sounds more that sounds more string instrument like i'm confused can i call a lifeline how does lifelines work in this game do we have any call me i'll listen you can't talk to these two i can't talk to anybody okay they know what it is i'm in between the instrument ones honestly i think i don't know uh clavic cord clavic cord clavic cord i'm trying to say it and make maybe my mind And somewhere we'll be like, you've heard this before, Matt, in this context.
1:29:00Have fun. I think I'll just go with the, not the wind instrument one, the other one. The one that's an instrument, but not. The keyboard instrument? Yeah. Yeah, let's do that one. All right, there you go. And we skip BMC. We go to John Henry. You know, I think I'm going to go with the body modification. I think it's a made up word. I think that's, I think that's might be what it is. Okay. Yeah, number two. Number two. And we go now to Angelica. I'm also thinking that it's an instrument. Okay, there's two instruments to pick from. BMC got it right, right? Right. I feel like I'm going to think it's musically rhythm then.
1:29:45Mmm, smart. Or not smart. You decide. What was it? What were the two options? It was the pianist, piano-like shenanigan or the flute-like thing. clarinet flute you know woodwind versus string i think it's um and which one did you do matthew i i did the the stringed instrument one yeah can you tell me the definition the clavichord one like the words used can you give me the exact definition pardon me can you give me the words that you used for clavichord clavichord musical instrument leaning to. You want me to give you those two definitions again? Okay. One's a woodwind instrument similar to a clarinet with 14 keys.
1:30:29And the other one's a quiet, archaic keyboard instrument with struck strings, barely audible. Barely audible. I'm going to go with the one that Matthew did. Okay, she's piling on to the strings. Because Matthew's winning, right? Correct. I feel like I trust his intuition. Well, what is, after all, a clavichord? BMC, do you want to school us? What's a clavichord? It's like an old piano kind of thingy. It predates the piano forte and it's harpsichord-like. Thank you. There you go. You're welcome. Adam also knew that. I made my definition up. I had no idea. Are you serious? I made it up. Wait, really?
1:31:10No way. What was his definition? A distant relative to the harpsichord that uses keys in a linear arrangement. Yep. I mean that's pretty much the same yeah it works for me were you so surprised when you got it right I was I was like did you know what a harpsichord was oh yeah I'm gonna go with like I'm gonna just like keep it going just make it up dude you made it up pretty closely close enough that it fooled me I thought you knew it I did though three points All right. So yes, it is the archaic keyboard instrument, which means Matthew and Angelica got it right. So you each get two. Thank you, Matthew.
1:31:55You're welcome. John Henry picked the body modification, which was Angelica's. So she gets another point there. So lots of points this round, except for me. Angelica got three. BMC got three. Adam got three. Matthew got two. John Henry and I shut out which means we have one more round to play because 14 to 14 you two are tied Matthew and BMC in first so this will definitely be the last round unless somebody gets shut out unless you both get shut out I suppose and Angelica has 10 John Henry has 10 I have 8 and Adam has 4.6 repeating decimal so we have to shut out Matthew and BMC and the rest of us have to catch up now I'll give you guys the option for the final round we can do a typical another word or i have another round which is another give it a goog we can do that one instead this will be our last round i assume we can pick from those two which ones you want to do what was the first one just another word i can't tell you what the word is because that might soil it but it's a standard round or give it a goog goog that's the auto complete one yeah it's so hard but it's also so easy i mean if it says near me at the end.
1:33:12All right. Well, we'll do that round. We'll do give it a gook. And the phrase that I began, the words I put in for into google.com incognito window is why is my, why is mine. And we'll see what we think the autocomplete suggested for the phrase. Why is my. This is PG rated. This is a family show. Okay, great. Good to know. Keep it somewhat relatively. I would always. I just wanted to clarify. So y 'all want to get together and watch that weird clown movie or what?
1:33:52July 27th. Hey, I had like a... Didn't have bad reviews, actually. He Who Gets Slapped? That was the name? Yeah, He Who Gets Slapped. This is for all the marbles right here. Unless BMC and Matt both get shut out, Oh, then we'd have to play the last round, but unlikely. Come on, marbles. Now, what if they both scored the exact same amount of points? Hmm. Probably just announced them as co-winners. Sudden death. Single them out. Lightning round. That's right. A good lightning round. A winner was so much nicer than sudden death. Yeah, co-winner would be nice. It's like, you know, the communist style.
1:34:35We all win. Participation trophies. Speaking of all winning, he who gets slapped is in the public domain. Oh, really? We can have our own showings. That's actually pretty cool. January 2020 is when it went into the public domain. Oh, dang. Oh, it looks really quite creepy. Yes, that's the only problem. I'm really not a fan of clowns. All right, we have all the autocompletes. I surmise that this will be a hard one to identify the correct answer because they're all plausible. So plausible. So give it a goog. Why is my potential answer number one, computer so slow. Why is my computer so slow? Number two, why is my eye twitching?
1:35:23Number three, why is my leg bruised? Number four, why is my hair falling out? Number five, why is my poop green? number six why is my p red oh it's christmas one of those was the actual autocomplete suggestion but which one was it first up this round john henry can you read the first four i can read them all they're fast uh number one why is my computer so slow number two why is my eye twitching number three why is my leg bruised number four why is my hair falling out number five why is my poop green and number six why is my pee red i'm gonna go with number one google's on the computer people have computer issues okay there you go number one adam what about you i'm done with the colors i'm just trying to choose a color what color you like green yeah i'm going red or green Christmas a lot it's a good sign should I go north or south both of these are concerning if your pee is red or if your poop is green they're both concerning it's Christmas which one are you going with let's go with the dookie there's another show title go with the dookie okay how about Angelica I mean, I feel like my PG definition is a higher bar than I think, because I was thinking that it was going to be excrement related.
1:37:03But that was why I asked. So I didn't put that. Oh, so you didn't. See, no, I didn't put that because I thought it was not PG. I was unsure. So, but that is my, that was my original thought. Okay. So I'm also going to go with that one. Is it with the number one or number two? The first, the number two. Number two. The number two, the first one you said. Number two, the green one. The green. Yes, number two. She's going with number two, green. She's going Duke. I'm way too excited about this. Okay. She's following me, man. You know what I'm saying? That means I'm on the right path. Matthew. So what do we have here?
1:37:44What do we have? Well, we've got one person picked computers so slow. two people have picked poop green okay so we have computer slow poop green pee red something about an eye eye twitching, hair falling out, leg bruised hair falling out, leg bruised, eye twitching pee poop what is literally everything here is bodily related which is funny except for computer this is what we google I guess it is funny that two people already picked the dookie one though and it's going to be a third one I just want to, like, commutally pick the dookie one at this point. Dookie pile on. Oh, it's commutal dookie.
1:38:24I'm going to pile on the poo. That's a good party. Pile on the poo. This is a first for us here at Changelog. And hopefully it's a last. Okay, BMC, your final pick here. You going to pile on the poo? Computer so slow. Final answer? Yes, because it's the last round and you said it first. Oh, he's playing the metagame, huh? We'll see if that pays off. That went into my calculus, actually. But then he also plans for that, so it's never quite. Yeah, I randomize the order every round. Are we split on two this round? We are. So we have two on computer so slow, and we have three on poop green. Let me tell you some of the alternates that almost were the top one.
1:39:10Why is my eye twitching? That was actually the number two autocomplete suggestion. It was also Adam's guess. So you were very close to hitting it. No one selected it though. But a lot of people are apparently Googling, why is my eye twitching? I was thinking that myself. No, why is my pee cloudy? That was the number three autocomplete. Why is my pee red? That was close, BMC. BMC actually came up with that one. If your pee is red, that's a problem. That's a huge problem. You're bleeding to the hospital right now. Have you ever heard of something called beet? okay do you have any beats you need to eat we love beats around here bmc you know all about beats also getting punched in the kidneys now the other suggested autocomplete was why is my poop black but the number one autocomplete in all of google at least for my incognito tab is why is my poop green so adam angelica and matt all got it people got to be figuring out why the poop screen two points for adam two points for angelica two points for matthew and that puts him over the top but not only that but why is my computer so slow yeah that was matt's as well so he got two more points because oh my god you guys piled onto matt we all pood piled together that's great so he got four points that round he got four points adam gets two angelica gets two that puts him over the requisite 15 with 18 points Matthew Sanabria is our pound to find winner congrats Matt is that the ultimate number just like 18 is high it's about as high as you can get because 15 is the winning amount and you have to go over so good job Matthew you have any final words before we call the show I know we've kept y 'all here a long time we should all go see he who gets slapped I think that's that's the takeaway here we should all do it we should we should have like a wait one of those things called when you stream it all at the same time?
1:41:09Yeah, stream party. Co-stream party. Just entertain me, Jerry. Read my definition again for that one. For you who gets laughed? Yes. In a world where hand gestures have gone too far, a group of friends vowed to change things and restore the old ways of simple handshakes and high fives. That's good stuff. That'd be a good movie. I feel like if it had been released this year, that would be it. well you know you get slapped kind of gives away the ending and the title you know yeah it kind of does i did learn a lot of new words coming onto this show i feel like it was educational show yeah well that's what we're here for is to educate that's why we play this game just pure education there's no faster way actually to learn there is no faster way than this so i feel like my cheeks have been smiling too much i'm like i need to do some like exercises because my cheeks hurt the the so the googles were basically money and bodily function and then ai was just ai ai is always just ai yeah i should say i that was what was the something uh something core what was it again oh yeah it was like neuroforge i think neuroforge uh it's like source forge but not it actually sounded a lot like neuralink to me which maybe that's where it got it from you know a device implanted in the cerebral cortex sounds like Neuralink something they're up to I also learned that clearly I didn't have a childhood because I didn't know what OOOBLEC was no oh my gosh well as much as I would love to stay and do more I'm not alright that is our game congrats to our winner Matthew thank you BMC Angelica John Henry everybody for joining us this has been an absolute riot there are other pound to find game shows in the feed go find them if you enjoyed this you can listen to other ridiculous games and you can also find other games that aren't just pound to find front end feud go for say js danger other such things at changelad.com slash topic slash games that's all for this week thanks for hanging out everybody and we'll talk to you on the next one bye the beats bye friends bye bmc Buy his album.
