We’ll never stop being entertainingly gobsmacked by this podcaster’s insistence that a quarter of an hour is 25 minutes
The fact that 25 cents is called a quarter in US money has really messed with Peyton Hardin‘s concept of time.
The co-host, with Cameron Kennedy, of the smash hit podcast You Should Know occasionally has trouble grasping some concepts, which is part of the podcast’s appeal, but this misunderstanding may have to enter the Hall of Fame.
Watch what happened.

“When did we start speaking in currency? Like when were we saying ‘It’s a dollar thirty until 18?'”
We need to take another look at Cameron’s reaction.
Definitely the appropriate expression under the circumstances.
Here are a few more reactions.

It isn’t the first time people have publicly struggled with fractions.
This reminds me of when McDonald's wanted to sell a 1/3 pounder instead of a quarter pounder but had to take it off the menu because people didn't understand 1/3 was bigger than 1/4 they thought they were being cheated out of meat https://t.co/skf7TeobVU
