Liz, Brace, Young Chomsky, and Jernan kick off with Sun Tzu’s "lull the enemy" strategy, joking about RFK Jr. narrating The Art of War before pivoting to a "yellow star" fur hat with payot—flirting or persecution?—then defend gift-giving consent after a live show’s "unanimated" surprises, all while Jernan admits feeling "wacky" post-relapse joke, blending absurdity with sharp cultural commentary.

Wait Until Enemies Lull
00:03:43
|
|
| I feel like you do it too gently. | |
| Yeah, you strike it so softly. | |
| It's a pianissimo. | |
| Sun Tzu once said, it's better to tap the gong gently than to exert all your strength with one mighty push. | |
| You wait until your two enemies. | |
| You wait until your two enemies are lulled. | |
| Their earbuds opened up. | |
| And then that was too much. | |
| I'm sorry. | |
| Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry for that. | |
| That was. | |
| They tried to get me. | |
| And you know, I didn't do the voice for Sun Tzu. | |
| And there's a voice. | |
| Sorry, what's the voice? | |
| I didn't do it. | |
| I didn't do it. | |
| No, no, no. | |
| I'm just curious. | |
| Which voice were you thinking of? | |
| Sun Tzu's voice. | |
| What does it sound like? | |
| I don't know. | |
| How would you describe it? | |
| I have no idea what you're imagining. | |
| That's why I'm asking you. | |
| You can't imagine a Chinese guy's voice? | |
| Why is that? | |
| I don't know. | |
| I mean, I've never heard him personally. | |
| I've never heard him personally either, but I can imagine what his voice would be like. | |
| What does it sound like? | |
| It sounds like RFK Joder. | |
| Wait. | |
| Audiobook idea. | |
| RFP. | |
| Oh, drink Sun Tzu. | |
| Sun Tzu. | |
| It's better. | |
| It's stranger than the enemy. | |
| Wait. | |
| It's American. | |
| Wait, this is a great idea. | |
| RFK Jr. reading series for Audible. | |
| I want to hear him read American Ganto. | |
| Of like Machiavelli. | |
| Yeah. | |
| 50 Shades of Gray. | |
| Not that one. | |
| What other ones are there? | |
| What other books? | |
| There's no other Bibles? | |
| Those are the two books. | |
| Wow. | |
| Could you imagine? | |
| He brought the murr. | |
| Wait, didn't we have an idea for a Bible episode? | |
| No, we had an idea for- That's for the Christmas episode. | |
| Oh, yes. | |
| Yeah, that's not, let's not. | |
| You're wearing a hat. | |
| Yeah, Liz makes me wear. | |
| So Liz is like, Liz said this to me today. | |
| She said, y'all are lucky that you don't have to wear that fucking yellow star anymore. | |
| I got you a hat. | |
| And how would you describe that? | |
| I never say y'all. | |
| How would you describe the hat? | |
| It has payote, which you've tucked behind your ears. | |
| Because I'm flirting. | |
| It looks a little bit more like braids. | |
| I'm fucking flirting. | |
| Four locks. | |
| I'm twirling my four locks. | |
| You have more like five locks. | |
| No, they're four locks. | |
| There's two locks, really. | |
| I'm wearing a Jewish hat. | |
| And not the kind that you think. | |
| It was a Jewish hat. | |
| And they have to wear the yarmulke under the hats. | |
| I guess so. | |
| That seems hot. | |
| But it doesn't. | |
| They always look like they're very warm. | |
| But in the winter, they're the ones laughing. | |
| Yeah, but in the rest of the year, we're all. | |
| I don't laugh. | |
| I do. | |
| I respect. | |
| But it seems a little excessive to have to wear the yarmulke underneath the giant fur hat. | |
| Yeah. | |
| All right, everyone. | |
| I'm Liz. | |
| My name is Brace. | |
| And I'm producer Young Chomsky. | |
| Hello. | |
| And this is Jernan. | |
| I'm feeling so wacky today. | |
| You are? | |
| Do you know why that is? | |
| Why? | |
| I relapsed. | |
| You love that joke. | |
| It's a good joke. | |
| You laughed. | |
| It's not really that. | |

Jewish Hats and Laughter
00:01:08
|
|
| He laughed. | |
| I always see it coming. | |
| No, you didn't. | |
| And when it actually happens, you won't. | |
| You won't. | |
| And this whole world's going to change. | |
| Everyone, we need to talk about something before we get into the episode that has nothing to do with hats or gongs or really anything in between those two things. | |
| So we did a live show. | |
| Four. | |
| Sure. | |
| But we did a live show just two days ago. | |
| And we received a package of gifts with a T, not animated gifts. | |
| And let me first add here: whenever somebody is like, hey, can I bring you guys something to the live show? | |
| My immediate thing, and I love anyone, if you've ever asked that, I love you. | |
| Thank you so much. | |
| I'm always like, sure. | |
| You know? | |
| That's your response. | |
| It's just like. | |
| How many people are asking you? | |
| This is what I, here. | |
| Here's a tip, listeners. | |
| Don't ask. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Well, no. | |
| Don't ask. | |
| No, let's not discourage consent in any way when it comes to these sort of interactions. | |
