Tuesday's Random Questions | October 20, 2026

Welcome to Simple Joe. I’m glad you’re here.

Today on Simple Joe, it's Tuesday's Random Questions, and we're going in some interesting directions! I'm wondering whether rhinoceroses would be the rudest animals if they could talk, why I hope I'll still be riding roller coasters when I'm in my 80s, and whether we could ever bring back those old metal lawn darts. We also get into the Dunning-Kruger effect, why we sometimes think we're better at things than we really are, and one of history's biggest mysteries: how the ancient Egyptians built the pyramids. Along the way, we're celebrating birthdays, remembering the legendary Tom Petty, talking about The Office, and recognizing everything from chicken and waffles to Sasquatch Awareness Day. It's a little funny, a little thoughtful, and exactly the kind of conversation where you never quite know where we'll end up. I'd love to hear your answers!
