Speaker 1 0:00

Hi, I'm Clodagh. I'm Sophie. And I'm Deirdre. As a n aspiring filmmaker, actress, and musician, we will deep dive into the world of music, movies, books, and everything in between. Welcome to the Geek Yoghurt Podcast. Hey guys! Hey! Hello! Welcome back to the podcast. Hey! For this week we've got more of a chill episode lined up because we're all very tired after going to see Sophie in show yesterday. And she was fabulous. So for today's episode, we're gonna ask some would you rather questions and like situational questions. Is that a word? Yeah. Yeah. Okay, let's say it is. Um who would like to go first?

Speaker 0:48

I will. Okay, here we go. Okay, would you rather that your head is the size of a watermelon or the size of an egg?

Speaker 1 0:57

A watermelon? I feel like it depends on the watermelon. Some watermelons are smaller. And then that would just be like I know people.

Speaker 1:03

Well what if it was one of those like cube, those cube watermelons from like a little bit of a little bit of a little cube watermelon? Have you not seen that we can see like cube watermelons in like Japan? Wait, wait.

Speaker 1 1:13

You know what I've always wanted to do? Like get a watermelon. I saw this on an episode of Icarly like 10 years ago. Get like a spoon and just like eat out of the watermelon like it's a tub of ice cream. That's been my dream. Really? Yeah. Why? It's just watery. Oh my god. No, it just doesn't taste nice. Like I don't like most fruits.

Speaker 1:33

So what's the answer to it?

Speaker 1 1:34

So is it a cube? Wait, are we saying a cube watermelon or just like an average?

Speaker 1:38

Just an average but like kind of slightly large watermelon.

Speaker 1 1:41

I go with the watermelon eggs. It's weird.

Speaker 1:48

Like all because it would be like.

Speaker 1 1:51

How's it?

Speaker 1:51

Because you guys are tall.

Speaker 1 1:55

Okay, Clodagh, give us a question. So we just settled on watermelon. Yeah. Okay. I have I have a few like weird ones. Like so before I have a few like deep ones. Should we start with the weird ones? Yes. Okay. Would you rather have five pet mice all named Jerry who would tapdance for you whenever you were sad? Or one giant kangaroo named Jerome who could carry you in their pouch and take you on adventures, but only on a full moon.

Speaker 2:22

The kangaroo, obviously. Wait, you picked the mice? I picked the mice, yeah.

Speaker 1 2:27

Why?

Speaker 2:28

Imagine being in glass. Everybody's getting the five mice to tap dance for you. Yeah. I feel like you would get old like really fast though.

Speaker 1 2:36

That's true. But like how often is a full moon?

Speaker 2:40

I just don't know.

Speaker 1 2:40

Every month or so. Yeah. But see, this is whenever you're sad, which I don't know. Depends on the person, but for me it would be a bit more than every month. No, I I'd like yeah, because then are they just gonna like automatically like you're at a funeral and then you're like oh my god, but like with the kangaroo you can like plan it and you can like go somewhere new each time. Yeah. So Jerome, Jerome all the way. I got the mice smelling.

Speaker 3:07

Yeah. That's mad. But like imagine being inside the kangaroos like pouch.

Speaker 1 3:13

I'd be fun at that. It's the same as being in like a buggy when you're a baby.

Speaker 3:18

But you're like fully grown.

Speaker 1 3:19

Fully grown in prison. You'd be a Joey. Um okay, I have one. Yeah. Would you rather spend a week in a haunted house or a week in alien-infested spaceship?

Speaker 3:35

Well, are the aliens like nice or mean?

Speaker 1 3:39

You don't know. You have to risk it.

Speaker 3:41

I'd say risk it for the biscuit to be honest.

Speaker 1 3:43

I think.

Speaker 3:44

Yeah.

Speaker 1 3:44

I think the haunted mansion, I feel like that'd be kind of fun.

Speaker 3:47

Cause what if the what if the aliens were well like if it was with friends or if it wasn't with friends?

Speaker 1 3:53

Oh if it was with friends, that'd be so funny.

Speaker 3:56

Yeah.

Speaker 1 3:57

Um no, like by yourself.

Speaker 4:00

We can make alien friends. Like, imagine how cool that would be.

Speaker 1 4:03

Okay, wait, no, actually, as geek yogurt, what would we pick? I thought the haunted mansion.

Speaker 4:09

Guys, no, but like if aliens like hear the episode.

Speaker 1 4:13

What? As geek yogurt. Because why did you why did you say it like that?

Speaker 4:17

Why did you say it like that? As geek yogurt we stand, like That's true.

Speaker 1 4:21

I might be getting us into something.

Speaker 4:23

Cancelled near a hundred years in the future.

Speaker 1 4:25

Cancelled from another planet. I I would go for the haunted mansion, I think. No, I don't know.

Speaker 4:32

I don't know. I think the aliens, to be honest.

Speaker 1 4:34

Yeah. They seem like but they're in the spaceship. They're not like out they're not I I thought they were like crawling on the outside for some reason, but they're not, they're like inside. I thought, but it's like no interest. Like if it's a if it's a haunted house and it's a ghost, you might not be able to see it. Yeah. Do you know? But like with this, you can like fend them off with like a no, of course you can see it. Well, actually. What uh like light speed with the have you guys anywhere ever been anywhere haunted? I don't think so.

Speaker 5:02

No.

Speaker 1 5:02

I I feel like I have, but like I think we should save that for a Halloween episode. Yay. Who would you rather solve a mystery with? Sherlock Holmes, Batman, Nancy Drew, the Hardy Boys, the Scooby Gang, or Ulro?

Speaker 5:20

Batman. Yeah, because imagine how cool you could just ask him if he could like grapple you around the city or something.

Speaker 1 5:27

True. True dad. I'd say Poro. I'd say the Scooby Gang. I think. Yeah. I feel like Poor would like he'd he'd know what to do, but he'd also like have room for your opinion. Do you know? Like with Sherlock Holmes, he'd just be like, no, I don't care what you have to say. And also my friends. No, I feel like that's not fair. BBC Sherlock, like I love him, but he is so mean. And classic Sherlock Holmes is like really nice. In the books, he's so sweet, like. Yeah. Like they're a completely different bee. I think book Sherlock Holmes, or Nancy Drew Loki, she's gonna talk. Or the Scooby Guy.

Speaker 6:10

Yeah. Would you guys rather fight 100 chicken sized zombies or ten zombie-sized chickens?

Speaker 1 6:20

Ten chicken sized. Wait, wait, wait. Or like zombie height. Zombie zombie height. But then they're just really big. I get a hundred and chicken. Oh. If I had like a hurl.

Speaker 6:35

A hurl. A hurl. Not a sword, not a knife and hurl.

Speaker 1 6:38

If I had a hurl, then there would be damage done.

Speaker 6:41

It's damage done with the hurl.

Speaker 1 6:44

Or even just like any. Hello? Sorry. But just like any like um say the baton-shaped object.

Speaker 6:52

Baton shaped object.

Speaker 1 6:53

Like a like even a guitar.

unknown 6:56

Yeah.

Speaker 6:57

Nah. A guitar, no, that would break. Or like just even the bigger one. What if one had a stronger shape?

Speaker 1 7:01

What if one of them curled inside the guitar? What would you do?

Speaker 7:06

I yeah.

Speaker 1 7:07

You'd have to smash the guitar. Yeah, but then you don't have your guitar now. No, but you can. And you have 99. If it's in the guitar, then you can you can hit the rest of the the chickens with it in the guitar. No, I'd love to go and will die. Oh okay, Sheldon.

unknown 7:22

Yeah.

Speaker 1 7:22

I'd love to. I'd just like run through them all. If you ask them like hiking boots. No, like I think I could barefoot. I think like my strength could take them out. All a hundred. Okay, we need like a better question. Which can I go? Yeah. I don't know why, but all of mine are like animal related. Anyways. How would you rather have a flamingo that stands in the corner of every room you're in and watches you silently? Or have a penguin that waddles after you and trips over everything?

Speaker 7:54

Penguin! Penguin! That's so cute. The flamingo's kind of intimidating, I'm not gonna lie.

Speaker 1 7:58

Yeah. I don't know why you want that. Yeah. Why would you want that? What who would choose that? Like the penguin would follow you everywhere. Oh, would you rather lose 30 IQ points or lose one foot of height?

Speaker 8:11

One foot of height. You guys are tall, you can I I can afford to.

Speaker 1 8:15

Wait, can Sophie though?

Speaker 8:16

No.

Speaker 1 8:17

So which would you pick?

Speaker 8:18

One foot of height. You still pick a fair.

Speaker 1 8:22

If that was me, then I'd be four foot eight. Which isn't really that That's not too small actually. That's almost five foot. Like it would be small, but like it wouldn't be crazy. Alright. I have some deep ones now. Oh. Are we ready?

Speaker 8:39

Yeah.

unknown 8:40

Okay.

Speaker 1 8:40

Would you rather be ever Wait, wait, wait. Wait. Okay. Are we done? Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Would you rather be everyone's second choice or no one's choice at all?

Speaker 9:02

Second choice. Second choice, because what if the first choice is like really unreliable?

Speaker 1 9:07

I know, but you'd know that you're always second.

Speaker 9:09

Yeah, but at least I'm just a choice or something.

Speaker 1 9:12

Yeah, honestly. Maybe I'm asking the wrong people this. Well would you care? To a certain extent, yeah. But like just be like just be like true cares, like right. Wait, or no one cares for you at all. Like that's so bad. No, because I would like a lot of people I'm friends with. You know, you've got your close friends and then you've got more friends. So in terms of the more friends, you're obviously not any of their first choices, but you're still friends. You still have fun. Yeah. Do you talk after me? I didn't make the question. Right. Uh what about this one? Watch your loved ones age while you you stay young, or age while your loved ones stay young. Um wait, can you say it again? I don't care. Watch your loved ones age while you stay young. So you say like young forever. Okay. Or age while your loved ones stay young. So they say young forever.

Speaker 10:17

I think that would be yeah, the first one. I think the second one would kinda suck.

Speaker 1 10:20

But you Yeah, because you're just like old and everyone else is young.

Speaker 10:23

Yeah, like what if someone invites you ever parachute? You're like, yo, do I go parachuting? And they're like, oh wait, you're like you're not able to. Like that would kinda suck.

Speaker 1 10:33

Yeah. Parachuting instance, yeah.

Speaker 10:35

Yeah, like just like anything.

unknown 10:37

Alright.

Speaker 1 10:38

Yeah, no, agreed. But then also what if you want to do fun stuff but everyone's like old? Wait, I'm kind of confused. Do you just look young until you die or do you live forever? I wouldn't want to live forever. No, neither. I don't know, like people who say that haven't really thought it through yet.

Speaker 10:58

No. Yeah. Oh.

Speaker 1 11:08

I'm not being my future. A future self. Because like you don't know them, you know your past self. It depends like which past. Yeah, because if it was like if it was like baby meat, I'd be like, oh yeah.

Speaker 11:20

But there's no real conversation in that.

Speaker 1 11:21

But if it was like 12-year-old meat, I'd be like, nah. Mm-hmm. I suppose. Oh, should I ask one? Oh or do you want another one? Would you rather only be able to speak in Shakespearean language or only be able to speak with a prominent lisp? Yeah, I don't think there's anything wrong with lisp. Lisps are kind of cute. I'd probably go with the Shakespearean language just to be extra.

Speaker 11:50

You speak in Shakespearean language.

Speaker 1 11:52

I really do anyways, yeah. No, you don't. But sometimes.

Speaker 11:56

Would you rather be trapped in a sleeping bag for the rest of your life or sit on a bench for the rest of your life?

Speaker 1 12:04

A sleeping bag, obviously, because then you can go places. You just have to hover out. Where is the bench though? In the park?

Speaker 12:11

Well, like I'd say so.

unknown 12:13

Be cold.

Speaker 1 12:15

But then you're just sitting on a bench for the rest of your life. That's so much work. You can't go anywhere. Or like is the bench just like attached to you? Well, other people could like sit on the bench with you and you could meet people. No, that's like being in a hospital. And other people could come visit you. You know what I mean? That not that's that's fine. So okay, wait, I'm looking for him.

Speaker 12:38

Would you rather have a dog that talks but can't listen, or a cat that listens but can't talk?

Speaker 1 12:47

So like a speaking dog or a cat.

Speaker 12:50

Yeah.

Speaker 1 12:51

Because cats can't really like um I'd say the cat because it would know what I'm feeling and went to like be like there and went to like leave.

unknown 13:02

Do you know?

Speaker 1 13:03

I don't really like cats, not gonna lie. I feel like they just like don't like care. Like they're just gonna like But with the dog, like what's the point in like hearing anything it has to say if it's not like reacting to something. I feel like I'm like the dog. What? I'm like the dog. Yeah. Oh wait, yeah. Do you guys think you're the dog or the cat? I'm definitely the cat at the situation. I like listen, but I don't say an awful lot. But I like I I do take an interest.

Speaker 13:31

I think I'm the dog to be honest. But I listen.

Speaker 1 13:33

I do both. I listen.

Speaker 13:35

It's like a mix.

Speaker 1 13:36

Wait, sorry, the dog speaks but it doesn't listen. No, I listen. But I just speak too. I'm like a mix. I'm a c I'm a cog. You're a cag. Okay, no. Lock it, lock it. These are all kind of weird. Oh. Would you rather make an absolute banger that never goes viral or the world's most famous drug commercial jingle?

Speaker 14:10

Drug commercial jingle? No.

Speaker 1 14:14

As an avid music fan, I would easily go for the first one. Really? But like you die, would you rather die being like, yeah, I made something I loved or like oh I made something everyone loved.

Speaker 14:28

But what if I loved the drugstore commercial jingle?

Speaker 1 14:33

Like what if I there's not much substance in that. No pun intended.

Speaker 14:40

That's famous. Everybody knows that. Well I made the geek yogurt jingle. Exactly. Everybody knows the geeky yogurt.

Speaker 1 14:47

Oh my god. Would you rather be a rock star or a movie star?

Speaker 14:54

A movie star because then I can be a rock star with my fame from music.

Speaker 1 14:58

You can do that both ways though.

Speaker 15:00

Yeah, but like tons of people who act always like have like a music theme on the side. Like what's your name from New Girl Zoe Deshnell. Dishnell and the guy from Stranger Things. Joe Kier.

Speaker 1 15:14

He's actually gonna wait, do you pronounce his name Joe? Not like Joe Kier, like the DJ.

Speaker 15:20

Well actually I don't pronounce Odd Rush.

Speaker 1 15:22

Because I've been saying D Joe. D Joe. I think it's just Jo. Oh the D. That's clever. I actually like his two songs I know. The one about like blue eyes or teeth or something. No, what is it? Gap tooth smile, that's it. That's a nice one.

Speaker 15:40

I know the one that went viral. The um begin.

Speaker 1 15:46

No, it's a good song. Alright, would you rather wait, I have something more to add. I feel like when people are like actors who make music, their fans are sort of like, oh what is this music? Because they know they're not a musician.

Speaker 16:02

Yeah.

Speaker 1 16:02

But when like musicians are in film, people are like, oh wow, they can act too. You know what I mean? Yeah. Because I feel like it's easier to like say a song is bad than like a film. Yeah. Well, maybe that's just fans. But anyways, next question. Um Would you rather fail at something you love or succeed at something you hate?

Speaker 16:27

Oh that's a good one. Succeed is something I hate because if I failed at something I would love, I wouldn't want to do it again.

Speaker 1 16:33

Yeah, that would like hit hard, I suppose. Wait, but like how like important are we talking about? Like a career or like Yeah, like let's say you failed as a musician, but you were like the world's greatest engineer. Engineer. Um but you hated your your day-to-day engineer job.

Speaker 16:52

Or like if I was an engineer, I would like try and be like Tony Stark or whatever. Like you if you think about it, there's like if you hated it, you could just try and find ways to do it. But like if you hate it, you can always just find ways to kind of move around it, you know what I mean?

Speaker 1 17:43

That's what I think so too. I think I'd be the really good engineer and then I'd still do music on the side, because I feel like even if I fail, like I'd still like music.

Speaker 17:53

No hate to anybody who is or wants to be an engineer, but it's just not something that we would want to do. Yeah, I would want to do a can't speak through.

Speaker 1 18:01

Or wait, so what's the other option then? Oh wait, no, sorry. We're like incorporating them both. Yeah, I think the succeed at something you hate because you don't have to do it forever. Yeah. Yeah. Sophie, do you have any more questions?

Speaker 18:19

Um would you rather have fingers for hair or hair for fingers? I hate always this one.

Speaker 1 18:28

Fingers for hair, hair for fingers, hair for fingers. Uh I don't get anything done though. That's true. See, the the fingers for hair is genuinely disgusting.

Speaker 18:36

Well, like you could put rings on each of the fingers. So weird. Yeah, you can't. The very thought is like disturbing me. You could put a hat on and take the hat off and then just like if you bumped into somebody be like, oops.

Speaker 1 18:46

Actually, no, I think I go for the fingers for hair and I just wear wigs.

Speaker 18:50

Exactly. Would you wear wigs?

Speaker 1 18:55

Um I feel like I don't have any more like good one. It's so funny when you come across one online and it's just completely like just I don't know where like this one's like, would you rather be an AirPod with human thoughts or a human with AirPod thoughts? Well I can't be a human with AirPod thoughts. But but what what is like is that just music?

Speaker 19:19

Yeah, I think so.

Speaker 1 19:21

Wait, I'm really confused about this one. Would you rather make a post where the choices are even vaguely comparable or be tortured to death? What? What I feel like this is some they directed this at someone or something. Okay, would you rather have the ability to regenerate any of your body parts naturally or the ability to grow working wings? Wait, why would I need to regenerate my body parts? Well, in case you go like in an accident. But I feel like that's not gonna happen. So I feel like I'd easily go for the grow working wings. Imagine having wings, that'd be so cool. I tried to fly once when I was little. I just like jumped off a wall. Just pretty hard, I presume. No? I just gotta land it. Wait, I saw a good one, but now I can't see it. Here's one. Would you rather have every stranger you meet instantly trust you? Or always know when someone is lying to you. The second one. I don't care if the strangers trust me. But like what if it was like a life or death situation? And you were like Again, I feel like a lot of people they say, but for one of them, it's like a really specific situation that won't happen, and then the other day, the other one is something that will happen like every day. So it's like, well, by chance you pick the like less likely one. You think someone lies to you every day? When you say how are you? Oh I'm grand, yeah. I suppose yeah. Like you just say that automatically. Well, sometimes I'm like pretty bad. Or like how do you sleep? And mom was like, Yeah, grand. And I just like do Oh, let me try think of the one. Oh no. Would you rather remain penniless or instantly gain a billion dollars euro, but for the remainder of your life, you have a one out of ten chance of passing a kidney stone each and every morning?

unknown 21:20

What?

Speaker 1 21:22

I'd just remain penniless because I can't be bothered to figure out what that means. But like passing a kidney stone is like It's meant to be quite painful now. Yeah. And it's a one out of ten chance every day, so after a certain amount of days. So every ten days you'll probably have one. Mm. So that's like three times a month you have to pass it. Hot take if someone offered me a billion euro, like actually no, I would take it. I would take it. But I wouldn't keep it. 'Cause I don't think you need that amount of money and you can't even like spend it within a lifetime.

Speaker 21:59

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 1 22:03

What would you do if you had a billion a billion euro right there?

Speaker 22:07

I'd probably well I'd put some in the bank and then I would donate a bit of it.

Speaker 1 22:11

I would donate it, but I would make sure it like you can actually like see it being used properly, you know what I mean? Yeah. Cause I'm not saying I don't trust charity, so it's not really bothered actually. But you know how it's some of these things? Like the band-aid thing. We did an episode about this. They donated like millions and it just got spent on weapons by like evil people. So I would like maybe I'd like start my own program after doing research and then I would like go to the place and see that it all goes through. You know? Yeah.

Speaker 22:48

But yeah. Would you rather have the ability to ability? Ability. Ability to effortlessly fli run at a hundred kilometres an hour or fly at ten kilometres per hour.

Speaker 1 23:04

Fly. Oh they're going to fly. Effort they say run at a hundred kilometres or fly. Wait, how fast is ten? Is that like a walking pace?

unknown 23:14

Yeah.

Speaker 1 23:14

It's just under a walking pace. I guess like it's not a few. Imagine like flying down the street just really slowly. Wait, no. Look up how fast because I always have in my head that it's 12 kilometers an hour is how fast people walk, but I could be wrong. That wait, so that means 5k in an hour of walking. Would you do that? I think you would, yeah. Oh, how much walking speed round is 46.4 kilometres an hour. No, I'm definitely faster than that. Jeez, I always thought it was 12. I was way off. Do you know what time I went pennyboarding and I tested how fast I was going and I got up to I think 28 kilometers an hour. Oh yeah, it's pretty cool.

Speaker 24:02

Would you rather have legs as long as your fingers or fingers as long as your legs?

Speaker 1 24:11

That would just look so funny. Um you said you're like I don't maybe the legs as long as your fingers. You wouldn't be able to like walk though. But if we had few fingers as long as your legs, could you just like you'd be like a spider. And you could just like walk around. But like you'd basically have like just a bit more than your ankle as your whole leg. Okay, no, I think fingers as long as my legs, actually. And I'd just like be really cool.

Speaker 24:42

I'd just like to be like, No, but if that's a lot of weight. If you think, oh my god, wait, imagine walking with your f with your fingers. You just gotta like it. Oh wait, true. It's not like your arms, it's your thing. Yeah, it's your it's your legs as well.

Speaker 1 24:54

So like that's like wait, so are they as like as thin as your fingers then? They'd be so um easy to break as well. That's like Edward Scissors hands. Yeah.

Speaker 25:04

Or you know that one like Guinness World Records of the Nails Oh, like how how not how much like nail polish does she use again? Like to paint her nails? It's crazy.

Speaker 1 25:15

And like when they curl like stop and they start going all like discoloured. It's oh why. You couldn't like play guitar though. Yeah, yeah. Like that's just bad. You know? Yeah. But you wouldn't be able to write or anything. Yeah, it's yeah, I don't know why anyone would do that. I don't think it's even worth the place in the book. Yeah. I always skip that page anyways because it's I skip most of the pages.

Speaker 25:42

Yeah.

Speaker 1 25:44

How often do you read Guinness War records? I actually have quite a few. I think I have like three. We have like the green 2017 one, and from what I remember, that's the best one. Which is really cool. Nice recommendation of the week. Do we have any more recommendations while we're at it actually? Um The Red Rio's new song. Oh yes, it's really good. I love it. Um I've listened to it. Sound that's a good one. I think part of it sounds like hot to go. I think someone said that when we listened to it, and I was like, yeah. It was like verse. The music video is really cool. It was from France recently.

Speaker 26:22

France. Really?

Speaker 1 26:24

Actually, no, and that is making me really, really excited for the new album because I was sort of like, oh smile. She might have passed her peak. I'm kind of irritated by the amount of people I've seen hating on the new album title. I think it's a great title.

Speaker 26:37

Yeah.

Speaker 1 26:37

Like, guys, what are we shorting it to? Like, just stop. You don't need to do that.

unknown 26:42

Yeah.

Speaker 1 26:44

Anything else? Not really. No. Happy spring, everyone. It's nice and bright outside. That is really hot. It's usually not bright when we finish recording. Did you just start doing gacha photos? Nope. No. Okay. Alright, we'll see you next week for another episode. Yes. Bye. Bye.
