00:00:07:29 Well, welcome back to HoTTT TopiXXX,
00:00:10:12 I am Jim Dupree
00:00:12:04 and our next topic is,
00:00:13:20 I like to think a little bit of a rotor shaft task,
00:00:16:16 what you see and it says a little bit of something
00:00:18:27 about you, and
00:00:20:10 your answer says quite a lot about you.
00:00:24:03 The question is,
00:00:25:19 what superpower would you choose
00:00:29:14 if you could choose any superpower.
00:00:33:06 Jerry Hirsch, we go to you.
00:00:37:09 Some say, 1980's communism, that was a superpower,
00:00:40:28 but I personally would love to try out tri-location,
00:00:47:15 be able to tri-locate.
00:00:49:01 Take me through this, how will this work?
00:00:50:11 Okay, well if you could be in three places at the same time
00:00:53:28 that's tri-locating.
00:00:55:09 So you could... I could be sleeping,
00:00:58:23 I could be shopping and I could be drinking
00:01:02:06 and all at the same time,
00:01:04:07 then come home together as myself,
00:01:06:14 boom, sit down, have a snack.
00:01:09:26 Excellent superpower, excellent superpower.
00:01:12:20 That would make me very happy.
00:01:13:26 Shela Howell, we go to you next.
00:01:15:19 That's a good superpower.
00:01:16:28 - Thanks. - Yeah.
00:01:17:24 But you can't have it.
00:01:18:20 - Right. - So what's yours?
00:01:20:10 I would say, I would like to control time.
00:01:23:26 Oh!
00:01:25:15 -So -Turn it back.
00:01:26:26 Travel through it.
00:01:28:09 I could travel through it, I could turn the clock back,
00:01:30:07 I could speed things up.
00:01:32:08 Would you control all of time and everyone in it?
00:01:35:16 -Well -Or just yourself in time?
00:01:38:21 No, no, no, what good would that do?
00:01:40:22 No.
00:01:42:05 -Time -All of time.
00:01:43:22 Time, capital T, Time.
00:01:45:22 Wagering Wagering sports events.
00:01:47:22 - Oh yeah! - That would help.
00:01:48:19 Not if I could only control my time.
00:01:50:24 I mean I guess I could go forward in time and see who won.
00:01:53:04 No, no but think of the Barracuda wheel, right?
00:01:55:25 You put your bet down, throw the ball.
00:01:59:14 The Roulette wheel.
00:02:01:01 - No. - Like at a carnival.
00:02:03:08 At a casino.
00:02:04:14 - Spin me around. - Yeah, the Barracuda wheel.
00:02:05:16 - Green! - Green for 5.
00:02:07:13 You could slow down time and see where it was going to land.
00:02:09:24 Exactly, but if I could control all time, I could do that.
00:02:14:02 I mean that would be small potatoes.
00:02:16:00 I could do that like nothing.
00:02:17:21 Professor Peter Kuling, we will go to you?
00:02:19:13 I think I'd like to have the power to be able to
00:02:23:01 think like other people.
00:02:25:27 The power of empathy, super-empathy.
00:02:27:08 Not empathy per say, but that way with my students,
00:02:31:08 for example, I could think like them
00:02:34:01 and know if they were cheaters or not
00:02:35:28 or spend the day thinking like a famous thinker and
00:02:39:22 writing the books they never wrote.
00:02:40:28 Going back to your students,
00:02:42:14 putting yourself in their mind almost?
00:02:45:26 Yeah, becoming their mind.
00:02:47:24 Becoming their mind. Essentially becoming their mind.
00:02:49:29 I know how to grade them even before
00:02:51:08 I had finished looking at papers.
00:02:53:03 Also, you would be able to go inside of their mind
00:02:54:28 when they were in the sort of co-ed... the dorms.
00:02:58:05 Exactly.
00:02:59:15 Or if they were sleeping, you could walk into their dreams.
00:03:01:25 Is it a version of maybe tri or bi-locating,
00:03:04:22 is that what's going on?
00:03:06:04 Yeah, it's actually, it doesn't really matter.
00:03:07:29 Well, I have got a follow-up question, but you have touched
00:03:09:08 on something that I am really, really interested in.
00:03:11:18 Would you fool around?
00:03:13:04 Would you decide to be in the same location with all three
00:03:16:24 instances of yourself and would you fool around with yourself?
00:03:17:24 - Fool around with myself? - Yeah.
00:03:20:23 Definitely, I mean we are here for a short time,
00:03:24:15 we should experience everything we possibly can...
00:03:27:10 Three way with yourself.
00:03:29:23 Three way with myself.
00:03:31:26 A ménage...
00:03:33:21 Oh! Just thinking.
00:03:35:10 Very, very, very nice.
00:03:36:16 I am always thinking.
00:03:37:25 Now, a superpower is only as good as what you can do with it,
00:03:41:19 right and I would like to think that a superpower should be used
00:03:44:14 for not just your own personal gain,
00:03:46:14 but to help others.
00:03:47:23 So I have got a couple of situations
00:03:49:00 that I would like to run by you.
00:03:50:11 How would being able to think like someone else
00:03:54:16 help you if a large building fell over.
00:03:59:18 I'd be able to experience kind of that stupidity,
00:04:03:24 that moment of oops! I was standing under it, I guess.
00:04:06:13 How does that help anyone?
00:04:08:01 It helps me I guess
00:04:10:03 No, no, how does it help anyone else, not help you?
00:04:13:18 I guess it doesn't really help anyone else in that case.
00:04:16:18 Then you lose.
00:04:17:26 Shela, how does your superpower helps
00:04:21:00 if a large building falls down.
00:04:22:09 Well, for goodness sake, I would control time,
00:04:24:05 I could just back up time and make the building not fall down.
00:04:27:07 Excellent! Jerry?
00:04:28:29 - If regarding the building? - The building falling down.
00:04:31:28 The building?
00:04:33:07 If I could speak with animals, animals have the ability to
00:04:39:10 sense things, dogs, cats, some birds do, I would be able to
00:04:45:04 speak to them beforehand and well, if it wasn't so much
00:04:50:14 the building thing, I could find out how I could make
00:04:52:28 them more delicious.
00:04:55:09 How would animals like to be prepared,
00:04:57:17 that would be my first question to ask them.
00:04:59:15 He is adding a power though.
00:05:01:03 Can I think like animals?
00:05:02:17 Yeah, that's not really fair.
00:05:05:05 Can she move squirrels through time,
00:05:06:11 that's not what we are talking.
00:05:07:19 I don't know when it comes to time and speaking animals,
00:05:09:18 what really is fair.
00:05:10:24 When it comes down to it, I guess my real question is,
00:05:14:22 who would win in a fight in alley, dark alley right.
00:05:19:18 Let's pit Jerry against Peter now, right.
00:05:23:05 What you are going to think?
00:05:25:11 You are going to think like three knife wielding
00:05:27:12 Jerry Hirschs?
00:05:28:20 I could think like three knife-wielding Jerrys.
00:05:30:04 And then do what?
00:05:31:10 You know that it would triple the murderer's rage.
00:05:34:24 But I would call on the animals.
00:05:37:01 So there would be more than just three Jerry Hirschs.
00:05:40:25 There would be bison, venison.
00:05:44:16 You know what my superpower is?
00:05:45:24 My superpower?
00:05:47:15 My superpower would be being better than anyone else's
00:05:51:04 superpower man and I would beat you all.
00:05:55:16 BettAnd I win. way?
00:05:57:17 Stick around, we got more HoTTT TopiXXX.

00:06:05:23 Did you know that trail mix is a typo?
00:06:08:07 It should actually read tail mix,
00:06:10:11 because in most cases,
00:06:11:17 it's a tasty mixture of small rodent appendages.
00:06:14:28 If you have ever consumed a rodent,
00:06:17:10 please email in and let us know if it tasted like chicken.
