["mini"-ama] Rounding off April by answering your questions!

I don’t know if it’s a thing to answer these things months after they were posted but here I am. 🤠 It’s interesting to hear about your own experience with your sexual identity and your exposure/integration to the LGBTQIA+ community. My aunt is gay and was married to a woman so that always way very normal to me but I didn’t know much about other sexualities until high school when my sister came out as pansexual. I was confused at first and I asked her if that meant she just really liked bread 🥹 también me gusta el pan 🌚 If I could go anywhere in the world at this very moment I would probably go to Asunción, Paraguay. I studied abroad there and my host sister is getting married in a few days. It’s been years since I’ve been back and I miss my family and friends there.

@Dubose Ok, no. I'll end this now (lol). Cereal is not a soup because in my definition of soup, it must include either a meat or vegetable based stock/broth. And just milk doesn't count. And I'd pick knees and settle for silly walks.

Even if I had elbows that sounds like a great setup 😂👌

Now picturing a stationary toothbrush on the wall at mouth height that you just walk up to and move your mouth around after your conveyor belt dinner.

NOT TODAY BEAR HONK HONK

RIDING A SCOOTER AWAY FROM A BEAR AT TOP SPEED IN THE FOREST. 💀🤣😂🤣 Okay, I'm done, I promise. 😂

@Dubose Oh yes of course, soup. My mistake 🤣 I'm glad you're as amused as I was the first time my friend asked me this. I couldn't stop laughing the whole time 😂 @ange Or a reeeeally long straw? Or what if you stand at the end of a conveyor belt and let food fall into your mouth? 🤔🤤

Also, less common but you can get “new elbows”. I agree though that the spirit of the question was wonky walk or can’t feed yourself (wait maybe? With a very looooong fork?)

Ange

You mean "soup", right? 😂 And now I'm dying laughing about the whole concept. I guess you could just jump with both feet together to try to get up on the Segway? Imagine all of the little "Huh!!" noises you'd be making all the time. 😂 Maybe a scooter would work better? And now I'm imagining trying to run away really fast from a bear with non-bending legs. 😂🤣😂 Hysterical. Such a good question. ⭐

"Just fling your body into places"... What an image 🤣 I guess that's true though, like there's things you could use to still help you get around. Would have to be a special car though since you couldn't bend you legs to sit inside a regular car. Maybe a segway??? If you could get yourself onto one 🤣 But the other hand, if I were being chased by a bear I'm basically dead. I might get a punch in if I'm lucky since I still have elbows. EDIT: I'm imagining trying to eat without elbows and just diving face first into a bowl of cereal lolol

_S

I've been thinking about this. Even if you can't get new knees that would still be easier. You need elbows to do EVERYTHING. You'd sacrifice major independence if you couldn't bend your arms. On the other hand, you could sort of still walk with stiff legs, drive a car specially equipped with hand controls, and anytime you needed to bend your legs to move around you could just fling your body into places. 😂

What... no you can't just get new knees!! Commit to either silly walks or wonky arms. I feel cheated... 😅 Lots of places I'd like to go back to, mainly Japan or South Korea. But at the moment I'd say I'd want to go back to my favourite bar/restaurant ever in Seville, El Riconcillo. The last (and only) time I was in Seville I had dinner there every night because it was so fun. A friend of mine is in Seville at the moment and had an amazing time there 🥲 Thanks for AMA, this was a fun listen while I was making breakfast ❤️

Yes! Give me a nice 22° day with sun and a sea breeze! This sounds perfect

Things I have researched this week because of you guys -- glass *ahem* toys, snobrød, water fowl leg strength. It's nothing if not diversely interesting around these parts. And ooookaaaay, I accept the method of conquering the giant goose now. Interestingly enough, President Obama chose the giant goose (duck), too.

Oh also, thank you for humouring me and at least considering the hjonks before that pass 🧡

Ange

Be prepared for math. Also, someone pointed out that water fowl have weak legs.

No matter.

pls it was a joke, he was brooding so much 😅

Men in skirts 🤤💔

Okay, that was so much fun 😀 I loved it. April was really nice here. Crunchy and everyone, wish y'all a lovely May 💛 I miss the seaside so much, I'd love to go somewhere, where I could go to the beach and just watch the waves crash onto the shore. But I don't want it to be hot there, something about 18-23°C is the best. Country doesn't really matter 💗

I wonder why that is? 🤔 Now I'M going to have to Google it. This is the most educational porn I have ever encountered. 😂

Well I loved every second of this after driving home from my long work day. Cheru is short for Cherushi which is my name in Japanese, it became my childhood nickname. Your life soundtrack sounds pretty cool thank you for answering 🥰. If I could go anywhere…I’m not sure maybe Italy? I’ve wanted to go for years, I’ve been learning Italian and I planned to go this year but covid ruined it. If you had asked me 10 years ago my answer would’ve been England or Japan. I’ve always wanted to travel the world, experience cultures different from mine and see the history, the architecture etc. Hope I still get to someday. Thanks for an amazing month, excited for what you have planned in May 💗

Thanks for this, Crunch. A cute commute listen. But why’d you have to get all close to the mic for Allie’s question, then talk about men in skirts and kilts with high socks? Got my heart rate up for a second there. If I could go anywhere right now I’d either visit a friend in another part of Canada, or maybe finally see Italy? A food and art and pretty people tour in the sunshine sounds amazing.

Ange

Dubose, he's not really wrong about that. I googled it 😆 People are really into the mathematics of this question. And a horse sized goose is basically useless.

One of my favorite stories is that he had a stalker outside his house for a few days so he just invited her on a date and just complained about everything in his life. Just the most boring, downer date. The fangirl (unsurprisingly) never bothered him again. 😂 Like yeah, that's one way to do it.

Acedia

@Acedia- yeah i thought that aspect was kinda weird too 😬 the series is def not without its problems but it’s pretty nostalgic for me and funny to look back on and see how bad the acting and plot were rpatz is hilarious! i heard he basically refused to do the diet/exercise regimen they wanted him to do to bulk up for batman. he basically was like “take it or leave it” LOL. based on interviews i’ve read about him he’s barely functioning as a person, im so obsessed with him

cosmicdreams

Crunchy, this was so much fun to listen to. Thank you. Men in skirts. Yes pleeeease and thank you. If I could go anywhere in the world, I'd go to Space Camp. April was so much fun. You really do the most for us. ❤

I was in highschool when the books got big and it somehow seemed romantic? And then the movie came out out and you can clearly see how weird and stalkery everything was lol. The movie did have good Native representation. But Myers baseing all that on a real tribe and just saying they're werewolves was pretty weird. Robert Pattinson as a person is so funny though. Some of his interviews and stories are just crazy.

Acedia

id love to go to vancouver as well! i just love the PNW in general, maybe that is part of the reason i love twilight so much 😅 also the alien audio is the best, it’s a go to when i need a good laugh

cosmicdreams

Okay, I'm back. First of all, you know the the gif of the man in the puffer vest who has hands on his hips and then he turns away indignantly? That is my response to your response to my song lyrics/singing question from lens. Second, if the mechanics of a small goose's legs supporting its weight works, I don't buy your strategy of a giant goose's legs giving out. I am highly skeptical. 🤨

Fun fact I once did that scene during a charades game with friends everyone immediately figured it out it was Twilight lol

im crying

omg yes this would be so funny but some wine would definitely be necessary 😂 these movies should not be experienced sober. also @Dubose i’m crying that scene never fails to make me laugh 😭 why did he look so disgusted

cosmicdreams

PLS. Crunch's potential reaction to Edward's intermittent stank face. 😂🤣😂

Oh also! Forgot to mention but I didn’t even know being gay was a thing till I was around 12 (!!), even though I was very obviously not only interested in boys as a kid. It’s interesting to see how little that mattered to me back then compared to how much it matters now. Very funny too because little me was sneaking off with my girl friends to go kiss them in abandoned classrooms. And I turned out to be the only queer one. Allegedly.

Ayesha

and now I'm wondering if Crunchy has actually seen Twilight 🤔? also movie watchalong idea maybe 👀?

God crunch I HATE the idea of transcending time and space. I’m a firm believer in the idea that I am where and when I’m meant to be and the idea of being somewhere/sometime else is terrifying!! Hmm I think I’d like to go to Vancouver! Would love to move there with my friend one day. And OOH men in skirts….high socks..hairy legs….very good answer id have to agree. Lastly-the reminder of the alien audio had me laughing to myself. What a fucking trip, dude. Such a great audio, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Have a good weekend crunch man and all! <3

Ayesha

i just need to pop in quickly to say his name is robert pattinson not edward cullen, pls put some respect on my husband’s name 😭 and thanks for this ama 🤍
