Understanding Time-Space Synesthesia

[05:15] Sam Jarvis:
"Sam sees time differently than I thought. Every human on the planet... if I say today is Saturday, I don't even know, example, then next is Sunday. But Sam sees it in a way that makes no sense."

Sam explains her unique perception of time, revealing that she experiences months and days in unconventional visual patterns. Instead of the standard linear or calendar-based view, Sam visualizes months in a circular format with September positioned at the top, and days of the week shaped like a capital 'D'.

[07:35] Daniel Tosh:
"So you jump ahead. September, October, November... December is at 3 PM, March at 6 PM, and July at 9 PM."

Sam elaborates on how she maps the months around a clock-like circle, associating each month with specific clock positions. This method starkly contrasts with the typical left-to-right progression most people use.

Daily Life and Functionality

The conversation shifts to how Sam manages daily activities and appointments within her unique perception of time.

[10:28] Sam Jarvis:
"Do you never use an actual traditional calendar?"

[10:52] Daniel Tosh:
"I have one on my phone that I use."

Sam discusses the practical aspects of her condition, indicating that while she relies on digital calendars and phone alerts, her intrinsic perception still influences how she visualizes and plans her schedule.

[16:00] Daniel Tosh:
"I have appointments set on my phone, but it also gets set in my little... my calendar noodle."

Sam reveals that despite her altered perception, she employs conventional tools like phone calendars to organize her life, ensuring she stays on track with appointments and commitments.

Challenges and Misunderstandings

The episode delves into the societal and personal challenges Sam faces due to her condition.

[17:35] Sam Jarvis:
"I can't understand that. I just have an idea of how long something is."

Daniel expresses his difficulty in comprehending Sam's experience, highlighting the communication gap that can arise from such unique perceptions of time.

[21:11] Sam Jarvis:
"Some individuals with time-space synesthesia also have autism or have experienced head injuries. Which of these two categories do you fit into?"

This section touches upon the broader implications of synesthesia, exploring its associations with conditions like autism or the aftermath of head injuries. Sam candidly shares her journey, revealing that she navigates life without a formal diagnosis, emphasizing the spectrum nature of such experiences.

---

Humorous Interludes and Guest Interactions

Daniel and the guests infuse humor into the discussion, offering moments of levity amidst the deep dive into synesthesia.

[25:05] Sam Jarvis:
"Probably. It says bacon buddy."

The group shares amusing anecdotes about receiving bacon-themed merchandise, showcasing the camaraderie and light-heartedness that defines the Tosh Show.

[23:22] Sam Jarvis:
"Nothing wrong with that. If anybody has any questions..."

Sam reassures listeners about her condition, promoting understanding and acceptance while maintaining the show's signature comedic tone.

Conclusion and Takeaways

As the episode wraps up, listeners gain a profound appreciation for the diversity of human perception and the resilience required to navigate life with such unique experiences. Daniel Tosh underscores the importance of empathy and curiosity, encouraging audiences to embrace the myriad ways people experience the world.

[26:19] Sam Jarvis:
"Okay, but if I were to ask you where Wednesday is, where would you say it is?"

[26:21] Daniel Tosh:
"You don't see time, you just learn it."

These final exchanges encapsulate the essence of the episode: the intersection of individuality, understanding, and the everyday challenges of living with a condition that alters one's perception of something as fundamental as time.

[Eddie]

Yeah, mine is.

[Sam]

I feel like I'm being. You have to understand I've known it for so long and then to hear this stuff come out like oh this whole time you're just crazy.

[Daniel Tosh]

Yeah.

[Sam]

Tosh show Posh show. Tosh show for show. Hey, welcome to Tosh Show. I'm your host, Daniel Tosh. Today's episode is a little different. You'll notice that there's someone sitting next to me right now. I'll introduce her in a second. Okay. Eddie.

[Eddie]

Yes.

[Sam]

You're here. Good. Thank you for coming on such short notice. This is not an emergency pod, okay? What we are doing today does not classify as an emergency. This is Sam. Okay. You can talk. Sam. Jesus.

[Eddie]

She's got a gift. Sam has a gift.

[Sam]

Used to write on tosh0. Back in the day. She, you know. Now she writes all kinds of, you know, films. A lot of whatever. I don't know what she does.

[Daniel Tosh]

Sure.

[Sam]

But it's, you know, she is married to Pete. She's been in our lives for, I don't know. She's been on tour with me. She's performed on tour with me.

[Eddie]

That's right.

[Sam]

I mean, just. We got a lot of history. The Goat. She was on the Goat. Even though she doesn't get a credit on the Goat because she was the only one smart enough to say, I will do this gig and get paid handsomely, but do not give me a credit on this show. First, I think it's because you weren't. It was during a strike, and you probably weren't supposed to be working during four.

[Daniel Tosh]

It was not during.

[Eddie]

So maybe she was.

[Sam]

I'm not sure.

[Daniel Tosh]

No, I thought.

[Sam]

I feel like it was definitely during a strike.

[Daniel Tosh]

Leave my name off that one. That's fine.

[Sam]

Well, look. Look, who regrets that now. Goat merchandise.

[Daniel Tosh]

Yeah.

[Sam]

I shouldn't have bought so much. I got stockpiles of goat merch merchandise. Anyway, the point is, I've known Sam for a long time now. Now, you ever know somebody for a long time, then you find something out about them? Like, we just found out Pete's Jewish. Blew our minds.

[Eddie]

That's crazy.

[Sam]

Really, all of us freaked out.

[Daniel Tosh]

Oh, sure.

[Sam]

I'll tell you an example. That's not an example. We've always known Pete was Jewish. The only person that doesn't know Pete's Jewish is Pete. Pete's the one that's just so. Why is he ashamed of it?

[Daniel Tosh]

That's a longer episode.

[Sam]

All right. By the way, Sam is going to be a guest on this show. This is not her.

[Daniel Tosh]

This does not count.

[Sam]

This has nothing to do with it. This is just. She told us something. We all had so many questions. I stopped listening because I was like, oh, no, no, we have to do this on air. This is bonkers. The only thing I can relate it to is one time I dated a girl for a year and a half, and then I found out she could play the violin.

[Daniel Tosh]

Oh, that's weird.

[Sam]

And I was like, are you. What? She never told. It was bonkers. I couldn't believe it. Are you a spy? That's what we said, right, Ed?

[Eddie]

Yeah. Well, she also could speak a language that was like.

[Sam]

She could speak Czech.

[Daniel Tosh]

And you also didn't know that either. Okay, you should ask more questions. You're ladies.

[Sam]

If you can play a violin and you're having sex with somebody, you're gonna let them know eventually. That's on you.

[Daniel Tosh]

Sure, sure. Yeah.

[Sam]

She didn't have a violin. It's not like I listen to violin music.

[Daniel Tosh]

And you guys know I know how to play the violin, right?

[Sam]

No, you don't.

[Daniel Tosh]

Yes, I do.

[Sam]

Do you really?

[Daniel Tosh]

Yes.

[Sam]

Do you speak Czech?

[Daniel Tosh]

You speak Czech? I don't speak Czech. All right, that would have come up. That definitely would have come up.

[Sam]

Okay, here we go. Sam sees time differently than I thought. Every human on the planet. I don't know how else more to set it up, but, like, if I say, oh, today is Saturday, I don't even know example, then next is Sunday. But Sam sees it in a way that makes no sense. All right, go ahead. Give me some ideas.

[Daniel Tosh]

Okay. Apparently, I have something called time space. Synesthesia.

[Sam]

Synesthesia. This is a real thing that she looked up after.

[Daniel Tosh]

Right. So I only found this out within the last, like, five years, which is pretty embarrassing. But I was with my husband, Pete, and at some point I just said to him, like, isn't it so interesting how in school they never talk to you about, like, we never learn about, like, how everybody sees, like, the months or the days of the week? I'm like, yeah, because people maybe see them differently. And Pete was like, what?

[Sam]

I'm getting mad already.

[Daniel Tosh]

And then I was like, well, you.

[Sam]

Know, like, he was already married.

[Daniel Tosh]

Yeah, we were married already. So he could not. He could not back out. But yeah. So he's like, what? And then I'm like, well, okay, you know, for me, like, the months, September's at the top and March is at the bottom. And then, like, days of the week are kind of shaped like a capital D. And I was like, is that how you see the days of the week, or do you see them differently?

[Sam]

I am so, again, lost. Okay, what's at the top on months?

[Daniel Tosh]

Okay, so. So when you visualize time, which is a thing that time space synesthesia does, is that I see like, if you take the year as a calendar. I see.

[Sam]

You don't just look at a calendar. Like, the first one's January, and then the next one is February.

[Daniel Tosh]

No, I think when I think about the year or where we are, what month we are, I picture that as a circle. Okay, so say it's like a clock. September's at the top. December.

[Sam]

Why wouldn't January be at the top?

[Daniel Tosh]

I don't know. I think it has something to do with maybe this. Starting when I was, like, a kid or in school or something.

[Sam]

Does everyone that have. Has this form of.

[Daniel Tosh]

Is it the same?

[Sam]

Yes.

[Daniel Tosh]

No, I don't think so. Because I looked up something once on Reddit. Someone was saying that they see the days of the week and it goes counterclockwise, and that is like, some real freak shit. That's crazy to me. So, anyway, go back to the clock. Don't panic.

[Eddie]

Are you eligible for a real id? Just curious.

[Daniel Tosh]

I have a real id. Oh, there you go.

[Sam]

Of course you do. You're married to life Hack Pete.

[Daniel Tosh]

Okay, so this is the calendar.

[Sam]

Hey, I had a new jingle that we also play a game with Sam all the time where we do jingles, and then she has to guess what it was, but save big money at Menards.

[Daniel Tosh]

I know that one. That's the first one I've gotten in a long time.

[Sam]

All right, what's the circle? This is gonna be the year.

[Daniel Tosh]

September's at the top. Like a clock. It's a circle. Okay, so then you have December is like, where 3pm would be.

[Sam]

Wait, they don't go in order?

[Daniel Tosh]

No, it's like September, October, November. I'm just trying to give you.

[Sam]

Oh, you jumped ahead.

[Daniel Tosh]

I'm trying to give you the.

[Sam]

I get it, I get it. I get it. Okay.

[Daniel Tosh]

December's at, like, 3, March would be at, like, 6, and July would be at, like, 9pm that's how I see the calendar. So right now, if we're in the summer, we're in July. We're, like, over here to the left, like, where 9pm is. So think about, like, birthdays. Your birthday, my birthday, are like any. Do you see clocks?

[Sam]

The way clocks are already shaped?

[Daniel Tosh]

Okay, I see clocks the same. Okay, but like, your. And my birthday is down here, like, around 8pm and then. And like, same with Pete's and Eddie's down here. John, when's your birthday?

[John]

November.

[Daniel Tosh]

November. His is over here.

[Sam]

All right, I get it.

[Daniel Tosh]

Fine.

[Sam]

I can understand the circle from September around.

[Daniel Tosh]

Yeah. As you move around. So then days of the Week that's shaped like a capital D. Is that.

[Sam]

Just because of the word days?

[Daniel Tosh]

Yeah. I don't know.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Sam]

What do you mean?

[Daniel Tosh]

I don't know why? I. I thought everyone saw months and days, and they don't.

[Sam]

All right, days of the week. What's at the top of the day?

[Daniel Tosh]

Monday's at the top, then it goes Tuesday. Wednesday is kind of the fat part of the D. Then Thursday, then Friday is the bottom. And then Saturday. Sunday is the straight line part.

[Sam]

Okay, so you end on Sunday. So you are a Christian. You believe that the seventh day is holy. We rest.

[Daniel Tosh]

So it's like this is Monday.

[Sam]

How many times have you had to explain this to people now?

[Daniel Tosh]

I mean, I don't, like, say it a lot.

[Sam]

I can't hide how dumb I think this is.

[Daniel Tosh]

There we are. So I have a meeting on Monday, and then I have my dermatologist on Wednesday.

[Sam]

Oh, sure. Okay, Great. I've got stuff this week. What does it have to do with shaping? Making it shaped in a D. What about calendars? Do calendars frustrate you? The way they have them laid out.

[Daniel Tosh]

I think I just don't really pay attention to it.

[Sam]

Carly loves a calendar. We have calendars in our pantry and it's just everything is filled out. Do you never use an actual traditional calendar?

[Daniel Tosh]

I have one on my phone that I use.

[Sam]

Do you use it? You put appointment times in there? Yeah. So why don't you just wait for that thing to beep instead of like doing your Rain man stuff?

[Daniel Tosh]

Well, I do. I still have like, alerts on my phone and stuff, but I also just like when I set something, it just also gets like, set. In my little. My calendar noodle with depression, it feels.

[Sam]

Like every day you're just going through the motions. Ovelity provides relief from symptoms of depression that's fast and lasts. In a study, ovelity started working for some as early as one week with significant improvement seen on average at six weeks compared to placebo. Imagine feeling more like yourself again with ovelity.

Details at Metro by T mobile.com when you saw that, what was the first movie that did the whole like formula started floating. What was it?

[John]

A Beautiful Mind.

[Sam]

Beautiful Mind. Did you go that's good. Did you feel seen?

[Daniel Tosh]

No, because I'm not good at like numbers or math or anything but Are.

[Sam]

You seeing weird things in the air like that? No.

[Daniel Tosh]

I mean, no.

[Sam]

Not really seen because I'm not seeing anything. When I think of days, I just learn them Sunday Monday Happy Days Tuesday Wednesday Happy Days.

[Daniel Tosh]

I don't want to get too in the weeds. It's a little like angled forward.

[Sam]

Why does it, why does the angle mean something?

[Daniel Tosh]

I have no idea. I don't know. Like, same thing with the, the months. Like I always kind of see it from the perspective of where January, February is. I'm looking at it like if I.

[Sam]

Say 2025, does that mean something?

[Daniel Tosh]

Yeah, that's this year.

[Sam]

What does this year mean?

[Daniel Tosh]

That's just I'm her clock. I just picture the I start in January. That's 2025. But if I think about like Covid March of 2020 I'm like okay, you guys Went to Australia in January of 2020. And then like March happened, and then this was Covid in 2020 over here.

[Sam]

Right. Okay. You know, I'm kind of fine, but I'm saying. But actual numbers of years, do you think. Do they mean something different?

[Daniel Tosh]

Yeah, yeah, unfortunately, yes. So years stop. Years are like a straight line. So 1900, that's when it starts. Starts to the left and it goes to the right. For some reason, I think because I'm born at the end of the 1900s. It doesn't start over for 2000. It's just a continuous line to now 2025.

[Sam]

But yeah, like 2020, it'll never start over.

[Daniel Tosh]

I don't know. I don't think so. Okay, so 2025 is like here. If I think of like.

[Sam]

Well, I think of a line, a timeline. That makes sense.

[Daniel Tosh]

Like 9, 11's here.

[Sam]

Is it to scale?

[Daniel Tosh]

The scale kind of changes. So like the centuries before, like 1800s and 7, they're in like. They're almost like corn field lines behind it.

[Eddie]

Ah, they're their own lines.

[Daniel Tosh]

Yeah. So then unfortunately, like, what do you have?

[Sam]

Do you have history that you know from different?

[Daniel Tosh]

No. Okay. That' sad thing is that you would think that I would be like, how many savant with all these things, and I'm not.

[Sam]

I don't have any visual of numbers.

[Daniel Tosh]

Like, weather. Like, if it's 30 degrees in Chicago, it's like over here. And if it's like Chicago, if you.

[Sam]

Don'T like the weather in Chicago, just wait a few minutes.

[Daniel Tosh]

That's Chicago. I don't know. Like, I think it's all numbers that I sort of see.

[Sam]

Like, if I say 8 minus 4.

[Daniel Tosh]

Well, I mean, like, I'm not. The math doesn't matter.

[Sam]

But, like, math doesn't. It doesn't affect you?

[Daniel Tosh]

No, I'm not good at math. I'm not good with numbers. But, like 0 to 100.

[Sam]

Okay.

[Daniel Tosh]

Do you see that in front of you?

[Sam]

No, like, I just know what.

[Daniel Tosh]

You just know what the numbers are?

[Sam]

Yep.

[Daniel Tosh]

If you got a 90 on a test, like, that would be more over to the right. Here's my thing that I don't get is that I don't get how you know when things are.

[Sam]

Like, I have assistance.

[Daniel Tosh]

Okay. Right, right. You specifically, someone tells you that's how I see things. Right.

[Sam]

Somebody taps me on the shoulder, it's like, go here.

[Daniel Tosh]

You have to go do this. But, like, if I have a dermatologist appointment next Wednesday, like, how do you know how soon something is happening?

[Sam]

Because I know today is Saturday.

[Daniel Tosh]

Right.

[Sam]

And I know that there's four more days until Wednesday.

[Daniel Tosh]

If there's, like, something coming up in September, you just. You don't see yourself, like, getting closer to it?

[Sam]

No, I don't. I guess I just know that I have to live for three more months.

[Daniel Tosh]

Okay. I, like, I know it sounds weird that you can't picture how I picture things, but, like, I don't get how any of you guys function without this.

[Sam]

All of us have mouth agape right now.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Sam]

Mine is opening. I feel like I'm being. You feel like when you talk to somebody, you have to understand. I've known her for so long, and then to hear this stuff come out like, oh, this whole time, you're just crazy.

[Daniel Tosh]

I feel like you're just, like, untethered. If you have no concept for any of this, like, something that's happening a month from now or that happened like, five months ago, that's just like.

[Sam]

I know what five months is.

[Daniel Tosh]

What do you mean? Like, but.

[Sam]

What do you mean? What do I mean?

[Daniel Tosh]

But like, relative to you now, you just know what it is.

[Sam]

Yeah, it's. It's halfway rotation around the sun. Is that helpful?

[Daniel Tosh]

No, it's not.

[John]

So do you associate it with, like, seasons?

[Daniel Tosh]

I mean, I know the seasons.

[Sam]

Do seasons have a place?

[Daniel Tosh]

I mean, yeah, summer's over here with the. With the months.

[Sam]

But it's always in order, no matter where you see it. It's never like, randomly different spots.

[Daniel Tosh]

No, it's always in the same place. And you just.

[Sam]

Yeah. I don't even know what your concern is. Like, you can't understand that. I just have an idea of how long something is.

[Daniel Tosh]

Yeah, I think so.

[Eddie]

Where's $2 million?

[Daniel Tosh]

Okay, that's, like, over here. Oh, no.

[Sam]

So P just said, Where's $2 million? And $2 million has a place.

[Daniel Tosh]

Like, it's in, like, a scale of. Yeah. If you're Talking about millions, 1 to 10, like, it's over here.

[Sam]

It's not the same as days of the week or anything.

[Daniel Tosh]

No.

[Sam]

2 million is just over here. And where is 8 million?

[Daniel Tosh]

Well, then I guess the scale would shrink and it would just. It would still be over here, but a little bit further. Right.

[Sam]

Okay.

[Daniel Tosh]

If you're thinking about from 0 to 100 million, 2 million would be over here. But if you're thinking about, like, 0 to 5 million, it's probably over here.

[Sam]

July 8th from right now.

[Daniel Tosh]

Right.

[Sam]

Is a week and a half away.

[Daniel Tosh]

Right.

[Sam]

Okay. Oh, you just need to actually see.

[Daniel Tosh]

Well, within, like, two weeks, I can go around.

[Sam]

That actually makes sense.

[Eddie]

The week was a circle, by the way.

[Daniel Tosh]

And then, well, it's a circle, but, you know.

[Sam]

Oh, it's a D. It's a D. Oh.

[Daniel Tosh]

Oh, God.

[Sam]

God. I don't even know which way a D goes. When I'm doing it in the air.

[Daniel Tosh]

I go clockwise, go down, and I.

[Eddie]

Go up to bottom.

[Daniel Tosh]

So that helps me. But like, yeah, if there's a random dude.

[Sam]

It's not hard, though. Who needs to have.

[Daniel Tosh]

If you have something on July 17, you're just like, that's floating in the abyss for you. You're like, that's next month's problem. Like, whatever.

[Sam]

No, it's three weeks away, but it just is.

[Daniel Tosh]

It's nice to see that it gets closer.

[Sam]

Yeah, it's still getting closer to me, but I know. I get it. You'. You get a visual for it.

[Daniel Tosh]

Yeah.

[John]

When you watch a movie and I say it's two hours, are you, like, putting this on a time?

[Daniel Tosh]

Yeah, I would say, like, I mean, in a day. Like, the hours in the day vaguely also are in a line. So if I have something, a dinner that's like at the top of the line.

[Sam]

But if I say this movie is 90 minutes, do you go, oh, or do you just go, oh, yeah, I know how long that is. That's a short hour and a half. Comedy.

[Daniel Tosh]

Both. I know how long it is.

[Sam]

I just feel like as adults, we just. Like, you've memorized. You're so conditioned to know. Oh, 30 days. I got it. A month, I guess.

[Daniel Tosh]

Just.

[Sam]

What about your period? Does that fall on anything?

[Daniel Tosh]

No, that's just shape of a pretzel. That's just every 28 days.

[Sam]

That's a big capital P. Yeah, yeah. And right there we dot it. Some individuals with time space synesthesia also have autism or have experienced head injuries. Which of these two categories do you fit into?

[Daniel Tosh]

Boy without a diagnosis?

[Sam]

I mean, that is true. That was looked up.

[Daniel Tosh]

Okay. I guess head injury.

[Sam]

I think you don't want to admit that you've got a touch of the ism.

[Daniel Tosh]

I don't. I guess it's a spectrum. So I guess I could have a light dusting of it.

[John]

Aw, light dusting.

[Eddie]

How do you see the spectrum?

[Sam]

I believe you are right here on the spectrum. If the spectrum's leaning this way, you're right here.

[Daniel Tosh]

I don't know.

[Sam]

It starts here.

[Eddie]

I'm trying to figure out how I see time now.

[Daniel Tosh]

How do you.

[Sam]

That's the whole thing. I can't even Answer your question? Because it doesn't make any sense to me at all.

[Daniel Tosh]

I don't know. The numbers thing is weird because even like 0 to 100, like age too. It's like you're 50, which is like right here.

[Sam]

Allegedly.

[Daniel Tosh]

Allegedly. I met you when I was 24, which is over here. You know, you don't picture, but you.

[Eddie]

Don'T see past 50 for him, right?

[Daniel Tosh]

I don't see. I'm not seeing it until you're like 51.

[Eddie]

Then it moves up and 50 goes.

[Daniel Tosh]

No, I feel like numbers that are like sequential. You don't think of them in a row.

[Sam]

Yes, if I were to count.

[Daniel Tosh]

Okay, so you don't.

[Sam]

I know what my next birthday will be. It will be 51.

[Daniel Tosh]

But if someone's 85, that is just.

[Sam]

Then the year before they were 84.

[Eddie]

35 past 50.

[Sam]

Yeah.

[Daniel Tosh]

Cause see, for me, they're like 85's right here.

[Eddie]

Nighttime, daytime, anything.

[Daniel Tosh]

I mean, like the day is. The hours of the day are in front of me, and then night is past that.

[John]

Do you prefer 24 or 12 and 12, like a.m. and p.m. oh, I.

[Daniel Tosh]

Don'T do military time.

[Sam]

No. No. But you know who does military time? All assholes.

[Eddie]

So you see daytime? Nighttime?

[Daniel Tosh]

Yeah, like nighttime is.

[Eddie]

There it is. Yeah.

[Daniel Tosh]

I don't know. I mean, is it that weird?

[Eddie]

Well, it's just so. I've never even thought about how I see these things. And then you have a whole.

[John]

Not weird.

[Sam]

It's unique.

[Eddie]

It's unique.

[Daniel Tosh]

Unique. New York.

[Sam]

It does seem to be a bit on the spectrum.

[Daniel Tosh]

Okay.

[Sam]

And that's okay?

[Daniel Tosh]

Sure.

[Sam]

Sam's on the spectrum. Guys.

[Daniel Tosh]

You heard it here first.

[Sam]

Nothing wrong with that. If anybody has any questions. Dylan. Dylan woke up drunk.

[Eddie]

Now he's a boy.

[Daniel Tosh]

No.

[Dylan]

So like you said, with years, you see them in rows. So different centuries are different rows. Yes, but if you see different numbers, you just change the scale. So are years the only thing that you see in Rose?

[Eddie]

Centuries.

[Daniel Tosh]

Yes. Years are the only thing in.

[Dylan]

It's 100 years. You see as.

[Daniel Tosh]

Yes, except for the.

[Sam]

Except for the hundred years of her life. Because that just added on and continues after Y2K. Were you worried about Y2K?

[Daniel Tosh]

You know what? I was. And you know why? You know why? Because I was not very old.

[Sam]

It was over here. It's over here and it's at the edge.

[John]

Well, I was gonna say, to Dylan's point, like, when you think of the. The dinosaurs, like millions or like, how does.

[Sam]

She doesn't believe in dinosaurs. She believes in Jesus Christ.

[John]

Right? So it's 2000. It's only.

[Daniel Tosh]

No, that stuff is way too far away. That doesn't matter.

[John]

I understand, but do you see it, like way in your rows when you think of dinosaurs?

[Daniel Tosh]

The rose die out after like 1500.

[Sam]

Now, normally, if this were your episode, you'd get a gift, but for this, you certainly do not get a gift.

[Daniel Tosh]

Okay.

[Sam]

Okay. Because this is not gift worthy. Although we did get a bunch of free stuff for plugging a bacon festival. So if you want some bacon hats and tees, I can throw them your way. You interested?

[Daniel Tosh]

Yeah, probably.

[Eddie]

Give her some porker Pete.

[Sam]

Give me some bacon gear here. I'll see what she wants to do.

[Eddie]

There's some nice stuff in there.

[Sam]

Wow. Here, there's a bacon hip sack.

[Eddie]

You could put tricks.

[Sam]

You actually wear a hat that has Caciopeche. Caciopeche.

[Daniel Tosh]

I do. I have a hat with pasta on it. Look at this.

[Sam]

Do you want this one?

[Daniel Tosh]

I don't need that one.

[Sam]

Probably. It says bacon bacon buddy.

[Daniel Tosh]

No, this fanny pack's cool though.

[Sam]

You'll like this. This is a good one.

[Daniel Tosh]

Oh, no, the bacon boat.

[Eddie]

Yeah, it was a.

[Daniel Tosh]

Okay, thanks. Oh, okay. Thanks, guys.

[Sam]

Wait, wait. You like trucker hats? You always.

[Daniel Tosh]

Yeah, I'm okay.

[Sam]

No, no, this one says blue ribbon bacon tour. That's nice. You got a little pig on it.

[Daniel Tosh]

That's such a weird gift for me today. Look at this ticket.

[Sam]

Was this from the actual thing?

[Eddie]

It must be.

[Sam]

Oh, it's hysterical.

[Daniel Tosh]

That's fine.

[Eddie]

Ticket item.

[Sam]

I just can't wait to read what people in the comments write because there will be some people that will be like, oh, thank you, I can relate to this. And then everyone else that's normal is just gonna hammer you.

[Daniel Tosh]

I know.

[Sam]

Now we understand Sam a little bit better. And hopefully in the future when she's on the show over here.

[Eddie]

Yeah, yeah.

[John]

March this.

[Sam]

We'll have some more follow up questions.

[Daniel Tosh]

Yeah, can't wait to hear from you guys.

[Sam]

Okay, question. How do you see time?

[Daniel Tosh]

You don't see time, you just learn it.

[Sam]

Okay, but if I were to ask you where Wednesday is, where would you say it is?

[Daniel Tosh]

You'd have to look at a calendar to say where it is.

[Sam]

Okay. That's so good. I was so worried that you were, you know, special. I'm just glad you're regular with depression. It feels like every day you're just going through the motions.
