Bickering Bob, beloved of elongated animals, has his pals play time diluted, true or false. Wheeling Wade has an aneurysm over arseholes. A dozen know his monsters, rights, dicks or Corsicans, Maidenly
Starting point is 00:01:06 Mark is incensed by Apple's inefficiency, sings Beetlejuice, begets his ships, geometry and corviday, from podcast affection to brilliant braining. It's time for 20 simple questions. Now sit back and prepare to be distracted and enjoy the show. Hello and welcome back to every giraffe's favorite podcast. That's right. You're listening to distractable. I talked to him.
Starting point is 00:01:40 You know, at the zoo you can go and you could pay five bucks. You could feed the giraffe. I did that and I was like, hey what's your favorite podcast? All five of them answered distract, which means that basically every giraffe in the world probably listens, which I feel like is a pretty cool thing. We should get a plaque or something. Interesting fun fact aside, I'm your host. My name is Bob. I'm joined as always by my competitors for the day, slash, hosts when they can manage it, Mark and Wade. Say hi, fellas. Hi, fellas!
Starting point is 00:02:09 You know, for a second there, I thought you were starting like an ad read old style. I went to the zoo and talked to a giraffe. Buy a mattress! I really thought. And then Mark released his trebuchet full of fast food orders. I expected the Vine reference where they're like snow, they're like skiing or snowboard or whatever and the guy just like flies.
Starting point is 00:02:30 I'm a giraffe. I'm a giraffe. For everyone listening, we do want to get back to those and we've said it many times, but. Weird that that came up, but you know how often you get to talk to giraffes. If you've never seen the show before, I'm the host because I won the last one.
Starting point is 00:02:43 The two guys are trying to win this one, that means they'll host the next one. Because I'm the host because I won the last one that you guys are trying to win this one that means they'll host the next one because I'm the host I have a game but that comes later because traditionally we start by catching up with small talk so yeah how's it going fellas how you doing I've got some good things and I've got some annoyances I've got some grievances to share and some of you out there are the problem all right sounds like I'm not gonna get to my game idea like I'm not gonna get to my game idea again.
Starting point is 00:03:06 I'm excited. Let's do another whole episode where all we do is complain. Let's do it. I spent the past week in Florida and yesterday I was at the airport for like 11 hours because we had a weather flight delay, whatever. It was fine.
Starting point is 00:03:19 Expected some really annoying Florida drivers and honestly didn't really get many of it. They were pretty okay. There's a lot of traffic but like there wasn't a lot of like guy on his lawnmower upside down with a chainsaw causing traffic jams like I expected. We got back to Cincinnati late last night, got on the highway and immediately, immediately I had that guy that wants to merge on the highway 30 miles under the speed limit. There's not that much traffic, but like also, this is still hard to do because you're going so slow. Like, did people not learn how to merge?
Starting point is 00:03:55 Okay, we get on the highway. We're driving a little bit further. I get over in the middle lane, using my turn signal to go around Slow Person. Slow Person decides, with no turn signal to go around Slow Person. Slow Person decides with no turn signal, you know where I should be? The middle lane! And just cuts me off again, not speeding up. They just decided that's the lane they belonged in now. So I feel something in my neck,
Starting point is 00:04:15 probably an important artery explode. And I get over with my turn signal to go around again, leave that person behind. Goodbye We get a bit further up and there's road construction or something's going on So the actual highway is like shut down so we have to get off and go around to get a different route Get behind another person on a one lane road speed limit 35 Clear brightly lit area I should do 15! Clear, brightly lit area, no turn signal, speed limit all over the place.
Starting point is 00:04:48 Like, if someone just goes the speed limit, I'm fine. You know, they don't have to go 5 over, you don't have to go 10 over, you don't know, whatever. Just 35 in perfect conditions, just hit the 35. You're turning, you're merging, you're moving, turn signals! They're great, they work, they indicate, they do their job. But the entire trip home last night, it was slow person cutting me off, no turn signal on repeat.
Starting point is 00:05:13 It wasn't even the people going 900 miles an hour or whatever, there was a motorcycle and someone else racing each other and just cutting each other off repeatedly. But you know, they were in the far left lane and fucking each other and the not in my way, but the slow, the slow no turn signal. Oh man, it eats a part of my soul every time. Wade hasn't driven in five years and he forgot how traffic was. First time in the road in ages.
Starting point is 00:05:41 Oh man, people go slow sometimes. I've driven a lot. I wasn't even in my car last night. Oh, you weren't in your car. Interesting. I would think if you were driving you'd be driving say your own car. Not whenever you have to have luggage. That's a bit, look I know it's a sports car, but it's a big car. There's definitely room for luggage. We got big luggage. Sorry. Oh, okay. room for luggage we got big luggage oh sorry oh okay uh never on the subreddit respect his big luggage Florida beautiful great time great drivers shocked me to hell got back here and immediately was like I can't believe I prefer Florida drivers to my own people I don't know if I would claim anyone as
Starting point is 00:06:20 your own people who's driving on a road, but I don't anymore You got the old man yells at cloud point good job, wait, I was tired man I got to the airport yesterday at 11 a.m We didn't land till like midnight last night because it was a long day and then how are there that many people on the highway? Like one to three there weren't that's the saddest part it was just a few people you should have gone around I tried and they were like that guy's trying to go around I better help him now we can go around all over again sounds like it sounds like a new problem I'm not gonna sugarcoat it but just stupidity hurts me and the road is full nobody knows how to drive anymore man, or they never did. I don't know. You're you already got the old man
Starting point is 00:07:10 Yells a cloud you can ease up. It's alright Gold people these days these kids back in my day. I had to drive uphill everywhere Alright mark, what are you mad? I have something hilarious It's it's involves a company that is not technically in the wrong, I suppose, but I think they are. And also the pettiest thing I've ever seen and a pure example of why this company might be plagued with inefficiencies. He's going for the eating point. I can tell so I bought Mac studios for my render farm Because the power efficiency and my power bill is way down since doing that I mean they were expensive to get but their resale value will be good
Starting point is 00:07:56 If I ever need to upgrade or if I've ever done with the render farm, that's why I did it And so I bought some and when you do business you have to get an invoice and you have to Pay them separately and there was like this whole it's a whole different Usually if you go and buy Apple stuff, it's kind of easy. They make it a little too easy sometimes Business not so much. So I get this email and I must not have noticed the first one because it says second notification of past due balance dear mark We would like to thank you again for your business about with Apple as of today We have still not received payment. Please see the attached outstanding invoice list and remit payment as soon as possible
Starting point is 00:08:43 Please note non-payment could lead to a reduction of your credit line and may result in shipping delays. Don't you already have all those things? Yeah I do. Alright so probably not shipping delays but yeah go on sorry. You wanna know how much it's for? It's an Apple product so it's a minimum of 130. Yeah $3,000 or something. So the total invoice amount is high, it's $7,844.40. So you got three chargers. Shit.
Starting point is 00:09:13 You bought an iPhone and a half? What? So it's $7,844.40, that's the total invoice. They say I paid $7,844.39. This is a second notice, pass due email for one cent. You said those numbers in my head. I was like, wait, aren't those the same number? How much is different?
Starting point is 00:09:39 This is a one penny pass due invoice. Mark, this may reduce your credit line and incur penalties. The legal team might get involved. I kind of want you to not pay it just to see what happens. Like the next one, they're like, all right, we're not playing nice anymore. You, we're gonna start charging interest, 15% interest.
Starting point is 00:10:02 You know, if you go to pay it, there's gonna be a charge for paying online or something of like a dollar so it's it's so funny because Like I got I had there was another invoice besides this one of the orders was delayed This is the delayed one I paid the exact same amount for the both invoices This one I've looked and they're for the both invoices. This one I've looked and they're this one for some reason is one penny more than the other ones. When I paid I paid it all in full in total. This one is different. So I'm not paying this one because I have paid in full and I did pay in full
Starting point is 00:10:39 when I did it because it was the exact amount that they charge on the invoice. But because this one was delayed, some rounding thing must have happened. And it went up a penny and I, so I'm not paying this one. And I just want to see how far it goes. It's supply and demand. Someone had just bought the exact same thing. So they had to upcharge this one by one penny. Man, the tariffs, you know, just really, really threw that one for a loop.
Starting point is 00:11:04 Well, I knew it had to be they're really big or really small But I would not have guessed shouldn't they shouldn't just like I know this is now this works because accounting is numbers and numbers have to Equal numbers like this, but shouldn't there be a thing in the system where it's like hey if the invoice is I don't know less than a dollar maybe just Just round that down or something. Like, uh, is that really worth the electricity that it costs our system to send an email at, like... Not at all. The electricity it took to send that email and calculate the number is not worth that penny. This entire saga is not worth it, and I really hope they take it
Starting point is 00:11:45 so far. There is no way to pay it without coming out in the negative. I like your approach because you're eating into their profits now. Every time you make them do something, that's another 0.45 cents that they have to pay. I'm just going to let it sit there and then eventually they're going to come and repo one penny's worth of Apple hardware. So like magic mouse or something, I don't know. The funny thing is I don't think I can even give them just a penny because a credit card transaction has a minimum fee.
Starting point is 00:12:14 It's like a 30 cent minimum plus a percentage. If I paid this via wire transfer, wire transfers cost about $20. I can't give them a penny. No, if you mail a penny, you have to pay for the stamp. Don't they pay the... if you pay with a credit card, don't they pay the transaction fee? So couldn't you pay them a penny and then they pay 30 cents to receive your penny? I'm trying to save them money here. I'm trying to make this easy on them.
Starting point is 00:12:42 If they make an exception for you, they have to make an exception for everyone who underpays a penny. This is about setting an example. This is so funny. I find this hilarious and I can't wait to see if this goes any farther. I will actually be really disappointed if it doesn't go any farther than this because it's just that funny. That's really, I mean, I've not had it be a penny. I've been in situations like that. I think it was, for me, it was a thing where it was like insurance or something where, you know how insurance is
Starting point is 00:13:14 a scam industry, even though it's like required. And it was like, we moved. So I canceled insurance on our old rental cause we got new insurance, but, and they like billed us for some of it, but then they refunded, but then they pro billed us for some of it, but then they refunded, but then they prorated it, like that kind of bullshit, right? And they invoice me and they were like, hey, you owe us $6. But when I called them on the phone and asked them if they really wanted their $6, the guy on the phone was like, I'll just
Starting point is 00:13:40 make this go away and I'll make a note to my manager. Don't worry about this, sir." But like, Apple's definitely not going to do that. That was a small, like it was still a big company, but that was a smaller company and I talked to a human person. I doubt, I'm sure you've tried. Have you ever gotten a human being person on the phone if you've ever tried to call Apple? Do they do that? Or? I have. So I talked about this before. If you remember, I didn't get one human, I got bounced to seven humans. Oh. Which is great. Oh no, that's right, right. But it really speaks to some inefficiencies happening at Apple.
Starting point is 00:14:11 Now I'm not one for big companies doing lots of layoffs, but I could tell ya, between having no humans and only robots, which is bad, and seven people who worked at separate companies. There was multiple companies involved with this chain of people. They sent me to the bank and then back to a separate department. Uh, uh, anyway, that's too many people! I need one good person. So, maybe some inefficiencies going on there.
Starting point is 00:14:36 I imagine if you try to get this penny taken care of, it'll be like the scene in Saving Private Ryan, where like, they walk in, they're looking at the papers, they're like, oh, and they take it to their superior who takes to their superior who takes it to their superior Eventually the president of Apple is like one penny. We've spent that on these pages already Get him on the line. We must fix this Wait, I want to know do you know who the President of Apple is? Tim Apple. That's actually wrong. He's not the president. Elon Musk. There you go. There you go
Starting point is 00:15:04 The real president of Apple Apple. That's actually wrong. He's not the president. Elon Musk. There you go. There you go. The real president of Apple. President of every company. Are you going to tell us or are we just going to keep guessing? Because I actually don't know. No, I don't know the president of Apple. I was just pointing out that he said president instead of CEO. Bare enough. It must be the week of weird transactions because I also had a weird transaction this week. Have you guys ever bought something? I was buying a computer piece of technology and it was kind of an expensive single purchase that I've never bought from this company before. They had a third party fraud detection service? Have you ever bought something where a company had like a third party company that did their anti-fraud stuff?
Starting point is 00:15:40 Yeah, I think they outsource it sometimes, yeah. Has it felt like a scam to you? Because I literally, I gave these people my credit card number, I put my order in, and then an unrelated company sent me an email and it was like, hey, it looks like you're trying to buy this computer. We think that might be fraudulent. Send us a picture of your credit card or a picture of your valid government ID. And I was like, why would I send either of those to you company?
Starting point is 00:16:10 I've never spoken to before. And they were like, no, no, like you can cover most of the data, just scribble, you know, cover the sum of the parts. We just want to see, you know, like your credit card number and your name and address and make sure the picture's there just so we can have that. I think it's a totally legit company, but I refuse to do it. But when I called the company I was trying to actually give money to, the guy on the phone, I said three words.
Starting point is 00:16:37 I was like, he said, hello. And I was like, I got a fraud email or something. And he was immediately like, okay, yeah, we're trying to get rid of those guys. We didn't hire them either. We don't know where they came from. I don't understand what happened, but it was a weird week. Supervisors got apparently a rich uncle in somewhere in the Middle East who's like, hey,
Starting point is 00:17:01 if you assign us on as your fraud company, you'll get your $6 billion inheritance. You ever seen that sketch of the, I forget what show it is, but the guys just walk into a company and they start taking the desks, and they're just like, no, no, we got authorization from Bill, Bill, hire out Bill, Bill?
Starting point is 00:17:17 You got, he's like, yeah, you're gonna get an upgrade, soon you know, and they just take every, they get everyone in the offices to help them carry out the furniture, that's what this situation is. It's probably fine So anyway, I sent a picture of my social security card and I was like does this work? They seem pretty happy about it This episode is brought to you by uber You know that feeling when someone shows up for you just when you need it most that's what uber is all about
Starting point is 00:17:43 like when Wade's house was flooding and falling to pieces all around him and you showed up just when he needed you to so you could film it and exploit it for views on the internet? No. Whatever it is, big or small, Uber is on the way so you can be on yours. Uber on our way to your house, Wade.

Starting point is 00:19:35 history, geography, whatever. Wait, did you take a cyanide capsule just now? You'll find out as the episode goes on. It's gonna be fine, it's gonna be fine. Don't worry. Don't worry. I am gonna start by flipping a coin to see who gets to go first. Heads is Wade cuz bald. And it is the lion, which is tails. So Mark goes first. Good luck. Which apparently gives you a little bit of a statistical advantage.
Starting point is 00:20:00 Someone on the subreddit did a little analysis and you have a very slight edge if you get to go first in games of this nature, but NERD You just it's just true and false So even if you don't know I feel like you could probably figure it out the next time around all of the above It's not an option, but I I appreciate the creativity Question number one True or false a triangle can have two right angles mmm false.

Starting point is 00:20:54 Very good. It's like the last one that people don't know about is like no-o-ception or something like that. It's like knowing where you're- There are actually a couple extra ones. Your sense of like balance is kind of one, that's not what it's called, and proprioception or something is the one you're talking about where you like know where your body parts are in space.
Starting point is 00:21:13 Humans do have more than five senses. Wade, true or false? Mozart and Beethoven were alive at the same time. I'd like to use a lifeline, 50-50. Okay, true or false All right True, I know you'd know that see you guys were all worried. I told you I toned it down This is gonna be fine. You're just stressing me out more.

Light bulb did it. Mark, true or false? Bananas grow on trees. Daylight come and go. True. I'm sorry that one is false. What do they grow on?
Starting point is 00:22:31 Technically, and I love this fact, bananas grow on tall herbs. I don't know what the distinction is there, but that's what the internet told me. Isn't the plant called a banana tree? No, it's called the banana herb. Bananas are the spice of life. Everyone knows this.
Starting point is 00:23:00 Wait, true or false, the Wright Brothers' first flight was in 1903. False. That one was kind of a gimme. That is correct. That's true. It was incorrect on your part. Arc true or false? Mount Everest is located in the Himalayas. Yeah. Yeah, it's not an option. Sorry. You true? Yeah. True.

I'm trying to remember in the Titanic movie, did they smash a bottle of champagne against it before they went? They had one in the car during the sex.

William Shakespeare wrote The Odyssey. False. Good one.
Starting point is 00:24:29 See, there's back in the game. Back in the game. Mark, true or false? The Mona Lisa is painted on canvas. Canvas. What is canvas? What even is canvas? It's the thing that the Mona Lisa is painted on?
Starting point is 00:24:44 Well, given that I don't know what else you would paint on, It's the thing that the Mona Lisa is painted on? Given that I don't know what else you would paint on, maybe like pigskin or something, I don't know. I'm gonna say true? Ooh, that one. I'm sorry, that's incorrect. Wait, true or false? Sound travels faster in water than in air.
Starting point is 00:25:01 False. Oh, sorry, that's incorrect. Mark, true or false? an isosceles triangle always has two equal sides true that's correct can i get a triangle question day i like the triangle there's a statistical advantage it's the only reason i got a statistical advantage don't worry you'll know this one wayne true or false brazil is north of the equator. False. I was wrong. I'm sorry, that's correct. Wait, I was wrong? Wait, what? You said false, right? You said Brazil is north of the equator, I said false. Oh, maybe I copied and pasted wrong. Hang on. Let me look, let me look
Starting point is 00:25:36 this up. Let me look this up. Every true false has shifted one. Oh, God. at least part of it should be south of the equator right in the equator oh yeah interesting most of it is definitely south of the equator yeah not all of it and perhaps this is a trick question that i got suckered into sure felt like it because i was like i'm pretty sure it goes through brazil but most of it is south. Because the question was Brazil is north of the equator. And the answer is probably some of Brazil is north of the equator. I mean, yeah, I guess it's true and false. I'm going to give that to you. That's what I get for trusting things I get from the internet.
Starting point is 00:26:17 Mark, true or false? A group of cows is called a murder. A group of cows is called a murder? C-O-W-S? Cows, yes. Ooh, and so on. God, I hope it's not called a murder. False?
Starting point is 00:26:31 You're right, that is false. Called an utterbang. Wait, that says true. Wait. Hang on, hang on, hang on. I think I screwed up my document. Hang on, hang on. Did you mistype it from cows to something else?
Starting point is 00:26:45 Oh, I can't read. Cause I know a group of crows is calling. If it says crows, I just can't read. That's why I'm so confused. No, you're right. I thought you were intentionally saying cows in a way to make Mark not know which word you were saying. Yes, I got you.
Starting point is 00:27:07 Take that. I'm not so stupid that I don't know how to read my own typed words that... Okay, great. Wait true or false, Napoleon was exiled twice. In general or from like one place? False. Man, you're having a bad run. Having a bad run. Mark, true or false?
Starting point is 00:27:26 Zero is an even number. No... No... No... I'm trying to think what even the definition of an even number is, really. One that's not odd. Alright, if the pattern is, you know, one, three, five is odd,
Starting point is 00:27:43 then maybe it is even. I've never considered... I'm gonna go with the optimistic route that it is. True. Good job, buddy. Hey, all right. You're so smart at this. Do you know what the definition is? I don't know. Well, technically, I think the definition of an even number is any integer that is divisible by two without leaving a remainder and technically zero divided by two equals zero you can divide zero by other numbers but you just can't divide by zero yeah good job mark you
Starting point is 00:28:14 knew that I knew you knew that Wade question 20 Wade I know you can get this one it's right in your wheelhouse I believe in you I'm on it true or false the chemical symbol for potassium is K. You know this, right? You're a big periodic table guy, right? I believe that's true. Got all the periodic tables up in your room there. Potassium is the one that's K, right?
Starting point is 00:28:35 Yeah, that's true. That's true, good job. I know some periodic table, it's in blueprints. There you go. All right, well that was the first round through the 20 questions and you guys got... Let's see... 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. You got 12 correct and there are 8 questions remaining. Wait, does that mean I got 7 wrong?
Starting point is 00:29:00 Because I think Barclay got like 1 wrong, didn't he? The scores are not very close right now, but that's okay because the game is not over. Good. Mm-hmm. Good. That was a good run though. Honestly, one of you definitely did more gooder than the other, but I'm not going to hold that against you.
Starting point is 00:29:15 You're still in this, Wade, and all you have to do is remember, because I told you all the answers, right? You knew the game. I told you what the game might. I gave it up ahead of time this time. So all you have to do is remember. So we'll start because you're losing so badly. We'll start with Wade.
Starting point is 00:29:30 We'll switch up who gets to go first for this round. Okay. I was kind of a mister who was losing, but that's okay. Now I know all you have to do is remember. You have to recall. True or false? Thomas Edison improved the light bulb. True.
Starting point is 00:29:43 It is true. Good job. I don't know how to spell any of these words. All right. Mark, true or false? Bananas grow on short trees. False. It's an herb. It's an herb.
Starting point is 00:30:00 There's my guy. There's my guy. One short tree knows another. He knows that's not a short tree. Yeah. Yeah. Shut up. Yeah. He's right. Wade, true or false? The Wright brothers first flight was in 1913. False. Oh, good one. Coming back.
Starting point is 00:30:19 Oh, was that a question that was asked before? Yeah, man. We talked about the right brothers previously mark True or false Mozart and Beethoven were not alive at the same time not Truffaut they were not this one was already answered correctly. So, you know Uh-huh not true full That's false cuz they were good one
Starting point is 00:30:45 And mark you have so many points. I'm gonna have to it's gonna get crazy wait. Don't worry. You're doing great With true or false, but we dick was published after Frankenstein Wow This was your question. This was your question last time. I think you sort of talked through it all false Oh, I'm sorry. That is incorrect. No! I didn't want to do it. Oh, no!
Starting point is 00:31:11 That's right, you gotta word it through. You gotta word it real hard. I didn't want to move it. What did you say? It's all right. Look, Mark's getting them correct, so clearly it's possible. God damn, I hate whales.
Starting point is 00:31:23 Mark, true or false sound traverse slower sound travel slower in water than in air false it's faster good job good see way just take your time with it you gotta you gotta let your neurons go slow down stop and go in reverse ice if he asked me the most ridiculous question right now I don't know if I get it right. Don't worry it'll come back up. Oh. Wade, true or false, the Mona Lisa is painted on canvas. Mona Lisa famous painting right?
Starting point is 00:32:01 We talked about this. Can you take paint? why would you do that I don't know but the way you ask the question I don't like it false the Mona Lisa is painted on canvas false is your answer true false is my answer that's true false is correct good. Oh, I thought Mark got it with was painted on camera. It's like, is it now? I didn't rephrase that one. That was exactly the same question I asked the first time. And I'm glad that you guys picked up on I'm rephrasing things because I, that is the, that is the bit, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:32:37 I'm a bit confused. That was Wade's question. Mark, true or false? Ecuador is north of the equator Ecuador is just making up countries now the whole willy-nilly okay all right it's down there with Paraguay Uruguay Brazil Chile Ecuador don't tell me where Ecuador is of course I would rephrase it again, say what you said. Mark, true or false? Ecuador is north of the equator. Do you want me to help you? No. Would you like me to rephrase it? No. Not at all.
Starting point is 00:33:14 You sure? Ecuador. False. This is the same one that I was fucking around with. Ecuador is in the exact same situation that Brazil is. The equator runs through it. Oh. Dude, if you pronounce Ecuador a different way, what you say is equa-dor.
Starting point is 00:33:32 That's what I was already saying. Were you not listening to me? No, of course I wasn't. Anyway, it is primarily not north of the equator. So I'm gonna say it's primarily false, which means you primarily get a point. Not that you need it, but. It's fair though, that's fair.
Starting point is 00:33:48 Oh, Ecuador. Hey, he's looking at maps. Who's looking up Ecuador? I wanna learn more about Ecuador. People are gonna think I don't like Ecuador. What if you get more questions later about Ecuador? Now you know more about Ecuador, that's not fair. I am, I'm reading up on Ecuador, you can't stop me.
Starting point is 00:34:05 Bob. All right, Wade, are you ready? No. True or false, a group of ravens is called a murder. What the fuck a group of ravens is called? False, unless. False asterisk? What's the asterisk?
Starting point is 00:34:24 I'm into this. Unless they are. Okay, well, no you are correct. That is false because enjoyably enough a group of Ravens can be called an unkindness or a conspiracy, which is the fucking best thing ever. They were called a murder, but they are now never more. Speaking of crows and ravens, there was a TikTok that I saw before quickly deleting TikTok again,
Starting point is 00:34:51 because I downloaded it again. I was like, I haven't been on it in a while. Maybe I'll try it out. And then I felt my brain deteriorating. I literally felt myself being hypnotized. So I deleted it. But I remember this TikTok being like, if you have to ask ask it's a crow when it's a raven, you will know.
Starting point is 00:35:10 And I don't know. I don't know. I still don't know the difference really. I know one of them's like really croaky. What does that mean? I don't know. I mean, I'm not sure if a raven will be so unbelievably with its 20-foot wingspan and like descending on me with a human speech but I think They're not that different all the pictures that I'm seeing they look almost indistinguishable except for it's like
Starting point is 00:35:35 Oh, the tails are very slightly different shape and the head shapes Just noticeably different if you get a still photograph of them in perfect side profile I guess they make different sounds yeah one of them is more like croaky and pro we or raveny yeah it's miss confusing we don't want any confusion in here in this episode if I if I ever need to tell a raven from a crow I'm not gonna know how would I know oh you, you'll know. That's so ominous. All right, Mark, good job knowing your countries that are close to the equator.
Starting point is 00:36:11 Wade. Wait, did I just do the Raven one? Yeah, wait. Oh yeah, no, Wade got the Raven one. I went back too far. Good job on the Raven one, Wade. Mark, true or false, Napoleon was exiled thrice. Thrice. Is that like three or like the rice? Mark true or false? Napoleon was exiled thrice
Starting point is 00:36:29 Is that like three or like the rice can you use it in a sentence? It's no, you know the word this is not spelling bee Napoleon was exiled thrice to true or false Falls good job True or false? False? Good job, buddy. Hey! I'm so proud of you. Oh, thanks, man. Man, you guys aren't falling for this as hard as I thought you would. I gotta be honest. I was really hoping that we'd go around and around and around.
Starting point is 00:36:55 That means we're scores are close, right? Yeah, no, everyone is really competitive right now. It's going really good. Wade, for no specific reason. I'm gonna offer you two points on this one. Ooh, true or false? Moby Dick was published before Frankenstein. Fuck!
Starting point is 00:37:17 We talked about this twice now. One of them came first, then the other one came after. So your sentence was, Moby Dick was published before Frankenstein. Yes. False. He did it! He did it! Did he?
Starting point is 00:37:37 Unless all of what I have written down is incorrect, in which case none of this means anything, but it's a game anyway, so who cares? Actually, I think this means you guys have successfully answered all 20 questions game over uh It doesn't have to be over. All right, wait, do you want some more? Huh wait true or false Thomas Edison invented the light bulb false Alright, I'm not gonna Know that's rude. That's rude, that's rude. That's rude.
Starting point is 00:38:05 That's rude. That's rude. I'll give you half a point. I don't want to sugarcoat it. You guys did so much better on this game. I told you it was gonna be easier. I toned it back. I only had a couple hilarious moments about Moby Dick and stuff and I only misread one
Starting point is 00:38:22 word in a way that was very unfortunate for the nature of the question I was asking, but I was only kind of trying to get Wade some extra pity points here to bring him back into reaching distance, but no, it's fine. I almost filled up the whole, I started writing real big, I almost filled up your whole side of my page, Wade. It looks like you really were in this one. Thank you. I changed the font size to 16 and really
Starting point is 00:38:47 started filling it in. Mark, you earned points for One Penny Past Dew and Being the Pettiest Man Alive. You earned points for Triangle, First Time, Number of Senses, Deaf Composer, Mount Everest, Titanic, Isosceles, cows, zero, bananas, Mozart Place, Beethoven, second time, sound, air, Ecuador and Napoleon. Wade, you earn points for, Old Daniel's at traffic, big luggage, Great Lakes, other Mozart, Odyssey, Brazil, potassium, Edison, Wright Brothers, Mona Lisa, Ravens, Frankenstein. That sounds like a lot. That does leave Wade two and a half points down. Which means if the first wheel spin that we do here goes really, really well, it's gonna
Starting point is 00:39:35 be fine. Looking forward to it. Oh, also I have to add something to the wheel. Something about the truest boy. Or the falsest. The falsest. The falsest. Well, let's get this out of the way and see how much the next parts really matter. How many bonus points will there be?
Starting point is 00:39:56 There's a chance. There's a chance. I had my coin ready just in case it was less than three. I appreciate that. That's a good idea. I don't think anyone's called that on a wheel. I was prepared. That's technically allowable, I think. I don't think there's any rules against it. The most false. If anyone tells a lot of lies or gives a lot of misinformation or just can be agreed to be the most false, I feel like that's where that one goes. And then let's see if Wade can do this. Imagine if Wade gets all three bonus points.
Starting point is 00:40:36 Imagine. Considering how much of a disadvantage he's at on the wheel in general, that'd be crazy. Hey, Mark had a four point comeback last time I hosted, I think. That's true. that's true. Most distracted. Well, given that Wade didn't even remember what we were talking about halfway through there. Huh? Are you seeding that one, Mark?
Starting point is 00:40:54 I think I have to. I don't remember being distracted. Well, that'll do it. Don't call it a comeback! Come on. Bald. Least all. Happiest contributions.
Starting point is 00:41:10 Mark owing a penny or me drivers. He was, he was complaining about traffic. I was not happy. I was laughing. I had a great time. I think I have to see that. Yeah, I think Mark, Mark gave us a story that would be an angry, except he was laughing and he thought it was hilarious.
Starting point is 00:41:31 I was bitter and angry. Wade was just complaining like the bald man he is. There's still some spins on this board that could really get you back in this game. Instant tie, sudden death is on here. Let's not do that. There are a couple options that could really save this, Wade. tie, sudden death is on here. Let's not do that. There are a couple options that could really save this, Wade. Oh, well. Best looking. I'm not saying, but I bathed yesterday,
Starting point is 00:41:53 so. I was at an airport all day and did not. I also forgot deodorant today and I noticed that a little while ago. All right, well, Wade's just trying to give this one away, so. I mean, I've already lost, let him have it. He's never the best looking, he can get it once. Yes, yes, yes. The final score with Mark getting two of the bonus spins and Wade getting one of them. The final score comes out to Wade with 12 and a half points
Starting point is 00:42:23 and Mark with 16. Ooh. It was really that first time through the questions. Mark just got a lot of them right, right off the rip. I got like six wrong in a row. I was hoping that more of those would be wrong, but when I reduced it to the 50-50 guests to start out, it gave you guys a much better chance of
Starting point is 00:42:45 Getting some even if you had no clue and I told you I toned it down. You thought it was a trap It was I toned it down. You guys did really well. I know that if this comes up again, we're gonna be devastated He's not gonna finish the question 20 impossible questions the game ends when we answer all of them. You may Google anything you think might help. Bob has made up his own language in which he will ask us questions. You need to decipher it. It's many ciphers deep. Do you know anything about cryptography? That's what morticians do with bodies. We'll solve unsolvable math... Uh, what is it? Postulates? Theorems.
Starting point is 00:43:27 This theorem nearly drove Albert Einstein insane, and he declared it to be unsolvable. What an idiot, right, guys? Prove that old crazy mora wrong. Ready? What is the right moral theory? That's easy. That's a one-word answer. Crazy Moron Wrong. Ready? What is the right moral theory? That's easy. That's a one word answer.
Starting point is 00:43:48 Oh, you're not getting a psychology in here. It's philosophy, man. Get my psychology out of my philosophy. Anyway, congrats, Mark. Thank you. You did great. And would you like to give your winner speech? I would, yes. I appreciate everyone for believing in me, and I appreciate myself for having utter confidence
Starting point is 00:44:12 this entire time. My opponent, I believe, was at a disadvantage because of his lack of sleep and traffic, of course, but given that I live in LA, I feel like we might be on even terms. So thank you for this victory and the best-looking winner signing off possibly ever. Wade, loser speech? This loser speech is brought to you by nobody. I lost. I bring my own game to this losing and by having played I knew that I could lose
Starting point is 00:44:44 and I did. How is that I could lose and I did how is that how was such a sort statement confusing what just happened I have a stroke 20 loser speeches you know what you really came put it on at the end Wade you really came back you fought hard that's not smart enough yes sorry thank you mark is the best looking and the smarter one today. If this game proves anything, it definitely proves that. I've got something on my side. Baldest?
Starting point is 00:45:12 Usually. Second tallest, second shortest. And... Most traveled between episodes. Longest time lived in one tri-state area? Ah, for now. Till I die. Yeah, I'm gonna outlive you a while, so...
Starting point is 00:45:32 Based on the amount of peanuts I can assume today hoping to get the eating point. Likely. I call those... Ethan Killers. Anyway, that's the end.
