**Matt Lavelle** (0:00)
Well, hello, you filthy animals. It's another episode of the Working Perspectives Podcast presents Beat the Bros. I'm Matt Lavelle, and tonight we have Liam Reese, aka Picklebar, and Tom Lavelle. Bern Podcast, he isn't here tonight.
I don't know if you listened to last Tuesday's episode, episode 577
He got a little upset when I correctly guessed Dennis Hopper in the 20 questions game. I did it fair and square. I did nothing wrong, and he got all but hurt because we got it on question 19 Sorry, sorry we were able to narrow down that he died between 2000 and 2010, and I guessed Dennis Hopper because he was in Hoosiers. I had sent Gene Hackman earlier, so we were sniffing around.

**Tom Lavelle** (0:52)
Are you really serious about the fact that you got it fair and square?

**SPEAKER_3** (0:57)
Is this all we're going to talk about this, or are we keeping going?

**Matt Lavelle** (1:00)
Fair and square. There's no problem with it. So since Bern got all but hurt yet, he got all blown up, he didn't want to show up tonight. No big deal. We can do the show without him. Not a problem. I'll be doing the 20 questions segment tonight, and I won't be a question Nazi. I won't get fucking butthurt if somebody gets it. I won't be not answering questions about if you're popular in that decade or bullshit like that. I'll be a good 20 questions person, and we don't have to deal with the whiny crybaby Northeastern PA Pollock anymore. Okay?

**Liam Reese** (1:35)
I like how the popular in the decade, the accent you used was like an old New York... That was like the accent you went with that.

**SPEAKER_5** (1:42)
Liam, you can't say that word.

**SPEAKER_3** (1:44)
Liam, you can't say that word. I think I...

**SPEAKER_5** (1:47)
Okay.

**SPEAKER_3** (1:47)
You think you are Kanye West?

**Matt Lavelle** (1:50)
You know, they...

**Tom Lavelle** (1:51)
So wait. You honestly think that you did that okay by using chat or whatever AI and putting in all the information.

**Matt Lavelle** (2:02)
Let's answer this. Let's get this out there. I didn't use AI. I did not use AI.
Never once have I used AI. Did you use Google? Yeah, I used... Maybe I chopped up a little Google sometime, sure. But here's the question. Here's the deal, okay?

**SPEAKER_5** (2:18)
Did you search actors that died between 2000 and 2010?

**Matt Lavelle** (2:22)
No, I did not. No, I did not.
I searched celebrities that died between 2000 and 2010 But secondly, when you play soccer, Tom, what's the number one rule in soccer?

**SPEAKER_3** (2:34)
Don't use your hands.

**Matt Lavelle** (2:35)
Don't use your hands! Don't use your hands, right? Before you play, they say, look, there's a bunch of rules, but here's the big one. Do not touch the damn ball. No hands, right?
20 questions.
Yes or no questions. That's the big rule. Was there anywhere stated that you can't use Google? Because we've been getting them without having to use Google. Okay. We pulled Inspector Gadget out of the hat. We got Jack Nicholson out of the hat. I didn't even sniff through them.

**Liam Reese** (3:05)
I crushed Jack Nicholson, dude.

**SPEAKER_5** (3:07)
I crushed that one.

**Tom Lavelle** (3:08)
Are you claiming that this is the only time that you use the search?

**SPEAKER_5** (3:11)
No, it's not. It's not.

**Matt Lavelle** (3:12)
But he's acting like I'm doing it every week the whole time, which I'm not.

**Tom Lavelle** (3:16)
How many weeks would you say you've done it?

**Matt Lavelle** (3:19)
How many weeks have we done the game?

**Tom Lavelle** (3:21)
Say you've done the game 20 weeks. What percentage?

**SPEAKER_5** (3:24)
We'll say 20 weeks.

**Matt Lavelle** (3:25)
I'll say maybe I've done it seven times.

**Tom Lavelle** (3:28)
Seven times. In 20 weeks. Did you use it when you were trying to guess my person when I did the 30 bucks?

**SPEAKER_5** (3:34)
Oh, yeah.

**Liam Reese** (3:35)
Totally did.

**Matt Lavelle** (3:36)
We were fucking stumped. We couldn't get you. And he stumped us before too.
But he just gets on.

**Tom Lavelle** (3:43)
And you're saying that you didn't know that that wasn't a rule, that you weren't allowed to Google it. Because last week, he acted like you just got it. You never say, well, I'm looking something up online here. It was a eureka moment.

**Matt Lavelle** (3:56)
Okay, if I didn't say that, sorry. But I didn't think I acted like I just thought of it. I just like, I discovered it. And I was like-
