Obviously Griffin, in weaving the rich tapestry that is the Adventure Zone, dropped hints as to who the inventor of math was in previous episodes just to set up for this question, so he was disappointed that none of THB picked up on it

Kenny Logins posted:Chris Hardwick is a 45 year old pretend nerd man professional presenter, who came face to face with 30 under 30 media luminary Griffin McElroy, the latter whom actually makes things that are good instead of just talking about other people's good things. Not sure what you were expecting. The best part of that is every time @Midnight would cover a positive story about millennial Hardwick would say we or us and no one ever called him out on it. Especially considering his lovely dating shows in 90s definitely lead to the birth of at least a few millennials.

Colonel Whitey posted:Think about the alternative: Griffin thinks he knows who the inventor of math is (there is not one fyi) and expected them to get the right answer without any rolls. That is insane I know there is not an inventor of math. If Griffin believes that there is an inventor of math then he wouldn't expect the players to roll to get it because it's trivia knowledge, I don't think it's impossible that whatever school the brothers went to gave some kind of weird history of maths impression. Kenny Logins posted:Pythagoras, who preceded Euclid, is called out as an answer by Clint. It's a pretty good stab at the answer, for an actual mathematician who could explain his work, rather than a scribe. Thales might have also worked. See this is basically what I wonder is if Griffin had a name like Pythagoras or Euclid or someone in his head

American schools are bad but aside from some dumb creationist poo poo sometimes they aren't giving us outright false info on the reg. Your original question was whether we learn weird math history here and the answer was "no, it's a joke," and your response was "no it wasn't." Why did you even ask?

There are multiple jokes in the bit. There's the joke where Griffin asks a phony question with no reasonable answer, there's the joke where Justin dramatically argues the case for being able to roll to know the answer, there's the side-joke where Justin implies he knows the real-world answer to the unreasonable question, and then there's the final joke where the correct answer turns out to be ridiculous. These are all funny jokes and at no point did anyone doing the podcast genuinely believe there was an identifiable real-world inventor of math.

Dad, which is Michael Jackson's Bad, and Grandpa's Paradise were honestly my favorite jokes of the night.

Good gosh, can someone please isolate Simone's laugh as Russ taunts her for throwing a dog? I need that as my goddamn ringtone, holy poo poo. Also, I really had no faith in Please Retweet in the beginning, but boy has it become a heck of a thing.
