00:00:01
Jack
Welcome to the A-Z English podcast. My name is Jack and I'm here with my co-host social. And today we're going to do a topic top topic talk game episode and this game is called Kiss Mary Kill.
00:00:17
Jack
And social, are you familiar with the kiss Mary kill?
00:00:21
Xochitl
Yes, it's a game. You play a lot in, like middle school. I would say in when you're a middle schooler, uh. So like, you know, maybe the ages of 12 or 13. Yeah. And you pick a three different people, usually celebrities. And you have to decide who you would.
00:00:25
Jack
Right.
00:00:42
Xochitl
Fish marry or kill out of those three celebrities.
00:00:46
Jack
Exactly. Exactly so.
00:00:49
Jack
I'm going to give you 3 right now. OK, who would you kiss? Who would you marry and who would you kill if you had to? Again, this is the game is you have to choose.
00:01:03
Jack
One for each person. So Santa Claus.
00:01:04
발표자
Hmm.
00:01:08
Jack
The tooth fairy.
00:01:10
Jack
The Easter Bunny.
00:01:13
Xochitl
OK. Well, they kind of made they they made this one like a little easy for me. Maybe I would. I would kill the Easter Bunny.
00:01:29
Xochitl
Because he's a Bunny one and two, you can make pretty good rabbits. Stew or fried rabbit. And he's big, so you could make a lot. You could feed a whole family, two tooth fairy. I would kiss and then Santa Claus.
00:01:36
Jack
That's true. That's true, yeah.
00:01:41
Jack
You can see the whole family, yeah.
00:01:49
Xochitl
I would marry because, uh, three toys for the rest of your life. That living on North Pole sounds like a bummer, but.
00:01:59
Xochitl
Uh, you could take his magic sleigh and probably go to the beach or wherever you wanted.
00:02:04
Jack
Yeah, yeah. Now let me just think about he's kind of like the king of the North Pole. Like you're you. That means you're the queen like you.
00:02:06
Xochitl
So you kind of have.
00:02:14
Xochitl
Yeah, but who really wants to be the queen of the North Pole, though? It's like they're really close.
00:02:18
Jack
I don't know, it just seems like.
00:02:20
Jack
All the you know the the workshops and all the elves and everything. It just seems like a like a bustling little city. I don't know. It might get old but.
00:02:30
Xochitl
I think it's cold. I think it's like cold, but you would get to, we did have a conversation like a little similar like would you want to visit the North Pole or something before? And I think it would be cool because you would be like exposed to it, a new culture that you've never been exposed.
00:02:44
Xochitl
2.
00:02:44
Jack
Yeah, that's true. That's true. I mean, other than like the tooth fairy culture, which is just like you just.
00:02:46
Xochitl
Which I think of you.
00:02:50
Xochitl
But you did too big to enjoy it like, cause you, like, crush all the fairies you could. You couldn't stay anywhere. You could only like, look at them with a magnifying glass or something, I assume.
00:02:55
Jack
Right. I didn't think about that. She's tiny.
00:03:02
Jack
Now you could study them scientifically.
00:03:03
Xochitl
Can you? I have a question actually answer. Can you shrink down to fairy size if you marry the tooth fairy?
00:03:13
Jack
Yeah, because, I mean, if you, if you even just for a kiss you you're you know it it doesn't work unless you're equal size. I mean, I'm assuming you said kiss the tooth fairy because you know that the the breadth and the and is minty fresh and.
00:03:30
Xochitl
I didn't think about that. I was just thinking, I thought you couldn't shrink down the tooth fairy size and in that situation.
00:03:32
발표자
Oh.
00:03:37
Xochitl
Why would I want to be like stuck? You know, I out walked outside of a world that I couldn't access because it's tiny. It's like the size of your hand or whatever. Yeah.
00:03:47
Jack
Yeah, well, they have to be big enough to carry teeth around, but makes it and leave coins, yeah.
00:03:52
Xochitl
Oh, OK, that's true. So maybe they're like the size of the baby, or like a toddler or something, but, well, I.
00:03:57
Jack
Yeah, it's.
00:03:59
Xochitl
Thought they were.
00:03:59
Xochitl
Smaller than that, I thought they were like the size of a Hummingbird, but they just had, like Ant level strength, so they can carry the teeth.
00:04:04
Jack
Right. They they I think that's what they're like. They're like hummingbirds. You know, they're almost. You can't even see them.
00:04:10
Jack
Uh.
00:04:10
Xochitl
Yeah, but I guess they can. I guess maybe they would be imperceptible because they have special magic. Maybe to shrink the teeth down or something if they. If they can shrink. If I could shrink down to the size of the tooth fairy, I'm it might be more of a debate. But if I can't adjust my size, then I'm cool with marrying Santa.
00:04:18
Jack
Yes.
00:04:30
Jack
OK. No, I I think you, I think you nailed it this one. I think you're right on.
00:04:34
Xochitl
OK. Yeah. What's your name?
00:04:35
Jack
Definitely. Bunny Stew, minty fresh kiss and you get to be the queen of the North Pole. So I'm.
00:04:43
Jack
I'm down with that. That's that definitely works.
00:04:47
Jack
OK, let me see here. I've got a couple of other ones. We'll do a couple more. Alright, Harry Potter.
00:04:54
Jack
Hermione Granger, Ron Weasley.
00:04:57
Jack
These are the very proud.
00:04:58
Xochitl
Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, Ron Weasley. I always had a soft spot for Ron. Only yes, I always did. I don't know why my ginger. Yeah, I come from a ginger family and I'm kind of I'm. I have my hairs all burned. So. So yeah, I I I I only synthesize with him.
00:05:05
Jack
Really.
00:05:08
Jack
Ginger. OK, interesting.
00:05:19
Xochitl
However, he wouldn't be the best choice to marry practically just because, uh.
00:05:26
Jack
Yeah, he's kind of a he's. He's just.
00:05:27
Xochitl
And this is kind of stupid. Well, supposedly stupid I did. I used to resent that when I was younger, but as I've grown older, he is a little bit on the numb school side and he's poor. So you're not getting a lot out of him. It's not the practical choice.
00:05:29
Jack
Right, right.
00:05:44
Jack
And it's not like in in that in that world, it's like if your if your family is is like.
00:05:50
Jack
Were.
00:05:51
Jack
There you, you will be exactly like your family. There's there's no like moving up.
00:05:57
Jack
It's just that's what they are. Like the Weasleys are these kind of bumbling, happy family, but but poor people, it's it's it's very strange, yeah.
00:05:57
Xochitl
Right.
00:06:07
발표자
Right.
00:06:09
Xochitl
So Jane or it's like you could marry Hermione, and then no, I don't. I OK, I would not want to marry her mind just because she seems like such a perfectionist. I think it would be hard to be yourself fully because I feel like she'd only be pushing you to better yourself, which can be great, but like at some point you want to be comfortable in a long term marriage.
00:06:29
Xochitl
Right. I mean I think.
00:06:30
Jack
Yeah.
00:06:30
Jack
Yeah.
00:06:31
Xochitl
So I think for me, I would kiss Hermione and I would marry Ron.
00:06:35
Xochitl
UM.
00:06:37
Xochitl
And I would kill Harry. I never liked Harry that much. I'll be real.
00:06:40
발표자
Yeah.
00:06:41
Jack
Yeah, he is annoying.
00:06:43
Jack
Yeah, I'm gonna kill Harry immediately. Yeah, but I'm gonna marry.
00:06:44
Xochitl
He is.
00:06:46
Xochitl
OK. OK. On the same page as be interesting, OK.
00:06:49
Jack
Yeah, well, I'm. I'm. I'm also on the same page, but I think you know, I'm gonna marry Hermione and probably just kiss Ron because he'll appreciate it. You know, even just a kiss.
00:07:02
Xochitl
Right. He won't care either way, I guess. Why would you want to marry Hermione? I'm interested.
00:07:03
Jack
Yeah, you won't care either way, yeah.
00:07:09
Jack
I know I I I mean she she's very intelligent, you know. She's got that's why.
00:07:14
Jack
I thought she.
00:07:14
Jack
Was too good for Ron. You know, when they got together? Didn't they end up together in the?
00:07:18
Xochitl
That's true. Yes, they do end up together.
00:07:19
Jack
In the books.
00:07:21
Jack
Yeah. Yeah. I always wanted Harry. I thought, you know, Harry and Hermione would.
00:07:26
Xochitl
I never liked that. I didn't think they'd be a good match. I didn't like.
00:07:30
Xochitl
I I thought Hermione was fine with Ron.
00:07:35
Xochitl
I didn't like I I thought that maybe Harry and Luna Lovegood would have been a good match instead of Harry and Jenny.
00:07:42
Jack
Yeah. No, I agree with that too. Yeah, you're right. You're right. But.
00:07:46
Jack
But but I mean.
00:07:47
Jack
I I was, I was kind of cheering for Ron, like like he's he he married way.
00:07:52
Jack
Outside of his, you know.
00:07:55
Xochitl
Week maybe?
00:07:57
Jack
Yeah, he he's he. He's he's he's fighting way above his weight class, we say in.
00:08:03
Xochitl
But but it it's shown in the in the in the movies in the book that if he had more confidence he could achieve a lot. Because remember when he was like a a star Quidditch player and it was really just because.
00:08:16
발표자
This.
00:08:17
Xochitl
He had confidence because they had the little vial that was supposed to make him uhm.
00:08:23
Xochitl
Make all your dreams come true or whatever. And he drank it and he was a star colitis player. But then Harry just started refilling it with water or something. And Ron still kept winning. All the quidditch matches cause he was actually just really skilled sportsman athlete.
00:08:31
Jack
Hi.
00:08:35
Jack
Right, right. He just had low. He just has low self esteem, you know. Yeah, yeah.
00:08:39
Xochitl
Yes. Yeah. So I anyway, I would be happy with with Ron, but I see your point about marrying her money. But don't you think it would get old to have someone that was that much of A?
00:08:49
Xochitl
Just gonna be grinding on you.
00:08:50
Jack
Yeah, I know. But I'm but.
00:08:53
Jack
Yeah, I mean, I I've been. I already married Hermione. Like already. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So.
00:08:57
Xochitl
Oh, your wife's like that. Oh, so she's a perfectionist as well.
00:09:02
Jack
Yeah, yeah, type A, you know, perfectionist married a schlubby. Ron Weasley, type guy. Except I'm not ginger. I don't have ginger.
00:09:11
Xochitl
If you're not, you're bald.
00:09:11
발표자
Yeah.
00:09:12
Jack
Yeah, I'm bald. So yeah, it's even worse. And yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But when I, when I just had that epiphany.
00:09:17
Xochitl
That's funny.
00:09:22
Jack
Like about 5 seconds ago I was like ohh alright I I already married her mine so.
00:09:24
Xochitl
Oh yeah.
00:09:27
Xochitl
Yeah, I like being the smart one in the relationship. Maybe most women do. I don't know if if our listeners feel like that, let us know. I like. I think I like being the smart one and the perfectionist and everything in a relationship. I I don't want someone who's like smarter than me, me like, be more perfusionist than me, if that makes sense.
00:09:45
Jack
Yeah.
00:09:47
Jack
I think that makes sense and I think I think a lot, a lot of men appreciate intelligent women. You know, it's not, you know, especially if you're if you have low self esteem like me and Ron, then you, you you're not you're you're not like scared of of intelligent women you're just like oh, I appreciate that you know it's like.
00:09:52
발표자
That's fair.
00:10:07
Xochitl
But I admire that. It's like since I.
00:10:08
Jack
Yeah, I admire that. Like who? Someone's got to balance the checkbook in in this, in this household, someone has to know where the money is and which banks they're stored in. Do you know, I don't know that information. So.
00:10:21
발표자
Erase.
00:10:25
Jack
Alright, let's do one last one, because this is too funny for me. Batman, Catwoman, the Joker.
00:10:34
발표자
Ah.
00:10:36
Xochitl
Difficult. It's hard to decide between killing Batman or the Joker because they're two sides of the same coin.
00:10:43
Jack
I know.
00:10:44
Xochitl
Uh.
00:10:47
Xochitl
But at least Batman like.
00:10:49
Xochitl
Batman is marginally better, so I would kill the Joker, kiss Batman. I definitely marry Catwoman because she's better than than.
00:10:57
Xochitl
Either.
00:10:57
Jack
She's like the least worst option. Like, at least all she does is steal. She's not a killer. She's.
00:11:00
Xochitl
Yes, you like to leave bad.
00:11:03
Jack
Not like a murderer.
00:11:05
Xochitl
Right. She's just like, yeah, she's only got something up her sleeve, but she's not as bad.
00:11:09
Xochitl
As the other two who are like the same.
00:11:10
Jack
Right. She's she's sneaking out at night, but you're like, OK. All right, at least you're not trying to kill me in my sleep, you know?
00:11:20
Xochitl
And my food would kill other people or whatever. So yeah.
00:11:22
Jack
And Batman would just be brooding around all the time. He'd be so depressing, you know, to marry Batman.
00:11:28
Jack
It'd be like, you know, it's like smile once in a while. Come on, man.
00:11:32
Xochitl
And you said, did you launch you with money and it's like, have you ever seen that meme? That's like, the only reason that Batman mask doesn't cover his whole face is because he needs police to know that he's white.
00:11:44
Xochitl
Right, right. Right. That's so true. So he, he just told you with money, so I wouldn't.
00:11:47
Jack
Yes, yes.
00:11:52
Xochitl
They want to marry him, I don't think.
00:11:52
Jack
Yeah.
00:11:54
Jack
So yeah, I'm gonna kill the Joker because the the the Joker is just pure chaos. Like he he's a scorpion. You know the Batman? I guess I I'd have to kiss him. Which, you know, maybe he's still not going to smile, you know?
00:12:01
Xochitl
Yeah, he's a problem.
00:12:14
Jack
So brooding all the time, so angry and I'd marry Catwoman. But I wouldn't trust her as far as I could throw her because.
00:12:23
Jack
You know, it's Catwoman. She's a a cat burglar, so yeah.
00:12:27
Xochitl
Right. Yeah. If she's only got something up her sleeve, she'll probably disappear after a month of marriage. So.
00:12:32
Jack
Right into the seat. Just she'll just run away and you get into the annulled and move on with your life and.
00:12:38
Xochitl
Yeah. So that'd be nice. You wouldn't have to worry about being tied to either the chaos of the Joker playing mind games or to Batman, who's just a nightmare.
00:12:46
발표자
Exactly.
00:12:47
Xochitl
Shooting.
00:12:47
Jack
Really. Yeah. The narcissist, the depressive and the I don't know. What you what Catwoman is but.
00:12:54
Xochitl
And it's like the avoidant, probably like the avoidance. Yeah.
00:12:56
Jack
You're right.
00:12:58
Jack
It's it's. This is definitely at least worse kind of situation here, but.
00:13:03
Xochitl
Yeah.
00:13:05
Jack
Alright. Well that's it. We I think we we got it done.
00:13:08
Jack
Today.
00:13:09
Xochitl
