We had a lengthy debate in the cab about why horses have horseshoes, resulting in another lengthy discussion around how weird the words hoof, hoof, hoof and hooves.
Speaker A:Chris and I had to look up how to pronounce these words.
Speaker A:Hoof and hooves are.
Speaker A:What other word have you always found sounds weird to you?
Speaker B:Oh, my God.
Speaker B:That's so funny that, yes, we did have a conversation about this in the cabin.
Speaker B:It was a long conversation.
Speaker B:I mean, we probably spent 15 minutes on this whole thing.
Speaker B:But the word that I think sounds weird is onomatopoeia.
Speaker B:See what I did there?
Speaker A:Oh, I love that word.
Speaker A:I do love See what I did there.
Speaker B:Because it's a word that sounds like it is.
Speaker A:Yes.
Speaker B:And what word sounds weird?
Speaker B:Onomatopoeia.
Speaker B:Yes.
Speaker B:100%.
Speaker A:My God.
Speaker A:Oh, my God.

Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker A:I just feel like they're run into.
Speaker B:Some badass mice in your day.
Speaker A:You just can't.
Speaker A:They're like.
Speaker A:Even my sister in law was like, we had a mouse kind of cute.
Speaker A:And I was like, no, that's what they want you to think.
Speaker A:They want you to think they're like sneaky bad animals and they will just find a way.
Speaker A:And they freak me out so much.
Speaker A:I hate them.
Speaker A:So that would be my.
Speaker A:The baddest animal.
Speaker A:What's your baddest animal?
Speaker A:Oh, geez.
Speaker B:I hadn't thought about it.
Speaker B:I think I.
Speaker B:I think I probably go with mice too.
Speaker B:I hate mice.
Speaker B:Like mice.
Speaker B:Mice are.
Speaker B:Mice are just terrible, terrible, terrible creatures.
Speaker B:I don't like cats either.
Speaker B:An.
Speaker B:I don't like cats.
Speaker A:Oh, God.
Speaker A:You're gonna.
Speaker A:You gotta be careful.
Speaker A:You can't get into domesticated animals.
Speaker A:Mice are like, you're.
Speaker A:That's okay, you're.
Speaker B:But I had a cat scratch me one time.

Speaker B:I don't remember what it's called.
Speaker B:Somebody can look it up.
Speaker B:But yeah, Scratch disease.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:Okay, Chris, if you had to stand in without warning as an extra with an ensemble dance number in a Broadway musical, would you rather do that or 30 minutes of open mic standup at a comedy club without warning.
Speaker A:They're just like, chris, go.
Speaker B:Oh, my God.
Speaker B:I mean, you know.
Speaker B:You know the answer.
Speaker B:30 minutes is a long time.
Speaker B:But I.
Speaker B:I'm definitely choosing the standup because.
Speaker A:Are you.
Speaker B:You know.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker B:I mean, as bad as my dad jokes are, they are nowhere near as bad as my dancing skills.
Speaker B:And so being Broadway dance number, like, no, no.
Speaker B:No one wants.
Speaker A:But you can hide.
Speaker A:Like, that's the thing.
Speaker A:Like, you can hide.
Speaker A:You could, like, kind of be in the background of the dance ensemble dance number and singing, like, stand up.
Speaker A:You're just under the light, man.
Speaker B:Hey, that's okay.
Speaker B:I like to be in the light.
Speaker B:But as Shakira once said, and my hips don't lie.
Speaker B:I'm not hiding.
