I'm Chilean and first thought of Belgium, but would've "corrected" myself thinking Brazil would be the most common answer, it's like a reverse, whatever anyone calls where they live the game where you gotta fill multiple categories with the same letter.
The first thing I thought of was Berlin. My standard first thought whenever “something with b” comes up (we call that game “City, Country, River” btw, even though those categories don’t have to be in the game). Guess where I’m from 😌 Then I thought Bulgaria, Belarus and finally Brazil which would’ve been my best bet.
As someone literally working on a PhD in art education, I was definitely getting some schadenfreude as Pat's opinions on English teaching made Simone "give the kids a slideshow and some crayons" De Rochefort shrivel in anger and pain.

As a teacher, let me just tell you that "gym" is in fact the correct answer. Art involves a lot of preparation (depending on the type of art), but it does come second here. Music would be third, but history is extremely difficult, because without studying it properly, you need about 2 hours of research for every lesson if you want to adequatly put things into context. I say that as someone who studied their first language and mathematics to teach - both of which are also rather time consuming without the proper education beforehand.

@@CassetteVCR True. I learned more about exercise from one high school physics class than all my gym classes. The teacher was a gym rat and would incorporate body mechanics into the curriculum whenever he could. We even did some weight lifting!

Thank you Polygon for generally being very good and quick about captioning your videos, really makes it so much more enjoyable for hard of hearing (and those with audio processing disorders like myself) viewers! I appreciate it so, so much 💖
I'd pick Wednesday as the worst day of the (work) week because, if you're having a bad week, it's only half over and if you're having a good week, it's already half over.
My Addams family OC would be implied to be a ghost, like I’m always shot so you can’t see my feet to check if I’m floating, might not always be acknowledged by outside characters, I wind up in locked rooms a lot…
The “what’s the biggest fruit you could fit in your mouth without chopping it up” was the most highly contested question in my opinion. I expected the Polygon crew to say banana, but I have to say I agree with Josh here on his apple answer.
Try playing Herd Mentality where everyone answers honestly. Completely different game with a shed-load of friendly arguments about who's actually right!
My answers: - Belgium - Wednesday - C3P0 - Banana (because it will smush in, even if you cant fully close your mouth) - Champagne - Kermit - Fried egg (Is this the same thing as over easy? I've never heard that phrase before) - John Lennon - Pork - Weasley Family - Middle finger - Tea (I prefer coffee but I thought tea would be more popular) - English (for the same reasons as Pat)
"Over easy" is a particular stage of the fried egg. It goes over easy (still wobbly and egg-looking) -> over medium (cooked on the outside, still runny in the middle -> is over hard a thing?!?
Just wanted to mention that I eat kiwifruit with the skin on. Every time. For at least ten years now. Great video. I absolutely love the Overboard series.
i would just go with my first thought for all of these and it would either lose me or win me the game completely depending on the group i’m playing with
hahahaaha, the "shopping list" was my answers from our practice game, the character sheet was from a truly cursed attempt to play 1st Edition DND. - Simone

Also, the Field Notes notebook Josh is rocking instantly transport me back to the military. I've only seen those there. Makes me think he's a veteran. XD
Clayton says "I was thinking X-Men, but that's just a school" as if my first thought wasn't "the Summers family". But, like Jenna, I prefer found families, so my second thought and real answer would have been "the Torettos"
I imagine 'Herd Morality' would be a version of Herd Mentality that's also a democracy: Every question proposes a new rule that is added to the game and the majority vote becomes an actual now established and furthermore followed rule for the game. What a wonderful idea, we thinks.
Ok but I wholeheartedly agree that Thursday is the worst day of the week. Like I personally have my week scheduled so that the stuff I hate doing happens to fall on Thursday, it always just _feels_ the longest, and I’m just waiting for it to be Friday already.
For the teaching question, while I appreciate Clayton's answer, as someone actively in University to become a history teacher I have to say that history being easy to teach is very not true. XD

I went Berlin for longer than I'm comfortable to disclose

Of course, you forgot John Cena. You literally can't see him.
