Hey, you! Yeah, you with the bewildered look! Listen up, Explain Bear is here to drop some knowledge. So, basically, these guys are messing with each other using names that sound like "what" and "not." It's like a big ol' game of "who's on first?" but with more confusion. And guess what? You probably ask "what?" and "who?" all the time. Sad.
