Welcome to the episode where I've got a new camera lens and I'm going to tell you all about it. Guys, have you seen the quality of it? Is it a $100,000 camera lens? Is it the Roncanononon nins ronan is it this or this i don't remember what is that why are you doing that the triangle of fairness yeah but what's fair right now well this is what the lens cap i don't know if i have a lens cap oh he was talking about the whole actual lens did you actually get a new lens and also why yeah well i got a new lens it's not exciting it's not a hundred thousand it

was five hundred dollars it does look like it was a little shorter is it 25 or something as opposed this is it's still a 35 but the difference is i had this zoom on which is very useful but it's like a zoom is uh i mean this is a very good zoom but it's like because it's longer so even a 35 still stands closer to me so this is a it's a it's a nice little lens that was like interesting so you're saying if i got a prime 35 i might actually have a better shot i don't really need that much wider of a shot what if you just get a lens that's so long it sits like right in front of your eyes a macro lens that actually goes into your nose i have a 150 millimeter macro lens that's like this long it would be so close but you would like be it would focus on my pores all right next episode

we know what lens you need if you've never seen a macro lens it looks like a proboscis wait what if we do this episode as zoomed in as possible how much zoom you got way too i like that everything's gonna go blind for a second i gotta change lenses up oh sweet oh you took the whole lens off how's that is that good that what you wanted as zoomed in as you can get it but in focus look how dry my nose is look at that you can see the flakes wait guys look oh hey mark's chest ah the nude microphone from markiplier i feel i feel really self-conscious about all the bumps on my face right now i feel self-conscious about how dry my nose is i did not shave very carefully either i have a 700 70 to 200 but i don't know if it would focus probably not because you're with it that would that you need to be at

least like 10 feet away for that to focus, right? Can you see my contact lenses? Oh, you can really see the vein above my eye there. I could get the 150 millimeter macro. I just have to get an adapter for it real quick, but I know where it is. I'm going to guess we're already going to get some complaints about what's happening in this episode. The subreddit is not into this. Okay, all right. You got to go to Spotify if you want to see, but...

I feel like one of those fugglers when I'm this close. One of those what's? The fugglers, those stuffed animals. They're like little creepy stuffed animals. They're called fugglers. That sounds made up and awful. Search it up. Search fuggler.

How do you spell it? That's like a dangerous word to search. Like juggler with an F? Yeah, F-U-G-G-L-E-R, fuggler. Ew, the funny, ugly monsters that will ruin your life i did a sponsored thing with them a long time ago the teeth some of the teeth look like actual human teeth they're very disturbing i don't care for that very much yeah these are kind of funny i not in a way where i'm like oh i want that but in a way where it's like i could see how someone

would appreciate that it's a good like gag gift present or like if you collect weird creepy things they fit in with pretty much anything like that this this is and this is in no way a judgment that has those things have a similar vibe to me as like the um the troll dolls like because i i get why a person might be into collecting like the troll dolls with the hair styles and everything but also i want those they they skeeve me out i don't want to be in the same room as like a whole shelf full of them. This one definitely not going to hold up my, on this tiny shitty stand. We're fugglers, Mark.

What? Do you feel like a fuggler? Make your fuggler face. Make your fuggler mug, Mark. I don't want to be that. And honestly, I'm not even going to say that because I don't know what you're referring to the the funny ugly dolls that will ruin your life mark fugglers what are you talking i honestly i

don't know wade brought it i just googled it so this is the adapter it's an e to pl mount pl it's positive lock no you say something funny positive Positive, your mom locked in. Okay, all right. Well, I got one. What are your favorite two letters of the word nut? I'm trying to spell nut in my head to see if there's like some word there that I'm not thinking of. Yeah, I guess T and U. Oh, I like the NU part of it. Is nut NU?

Oh, NU. Guess what appendage you're looking at here it comes big focus throw it's oh yeah yeah baby oh man i am self-conscious about this dude we all are this is the worst thing we've ever done dude throw the focus between your eyebrows and your eyeballs yourself. All right. Look how dry. You can see the cracking of my dry skin. Can I see where they cut big slits in your eyeballs for your laser eyes?

Maybe. Let me see. This can get alarmingly close. You can see the monitors I'm looking at reflected in my eye where my video is playing, and my hand is holding the lens. That's how macro this is. And it can, I think it can go closer. Let me go minimum and see.

Get in there. Oh yeah. Oh, that's my eye in my eye in my eye. That's cinema is what that is. Look at the unique markings of the iris. The iris is such a pretty thing to look at under the... All right, now Mark's iris fingerprint is forever unsecure,

so don't ever lock anything with your iris, Mark. What? This is me sitting normally at my desk. All right. And Minion777 on Twitch, we have merch. Man, should we do the whole episode like this? No, God, no. I think we should. I think that's a good shoulder No, God, no. I think we should.

I think that's a good shoulder workout for you, Mar. I'm unbothered. No, this will be the least watched episode of all time. Mate, you know what? People complain that we favor people who watch the video too much. This will be like a punishment for people who watch the video. How unpleasant and off-putting this is. And people who only listen.

Oh my God, wait. how how unpleasant and off-putting this is and people who only listen oh my god wait it's just like i'm noticing how like rapid the movements of our eyes are they're just a little too much we're all darting back and forth between looking at the looking at where the video is on our computer and looking at the camera and we're just like i just want moisturizer so bad looking at the bridge of my nose wow i mean my my glasses are like blue blockers so there's a very slight tint man you can see how tired i am yeah man i've uh this is really good to indicate i pulled an all-nighter two nights ago and and then I also went to midnight the other night. I'm tired.

We have a one-year-old, an almost one-year-old, who's been sick since Saturday, and he hasn't slept the last three nights. Look at my pupil focusing. Watch this. Wait. I'm going to close my eyes, and then I'm going to open it. Oh! Wait.

Do I do that? Hang on. Hang on. You know, I worked with eyes for six or eight months or whatever a decade ago and this makes me really want to go back and like do eye tests and stuff like i want to check your guys's vision is that weird is that a weird my vision actually is still great i can't see any scarring in my eyes so i don't i can't immediately it's very glossy and there's a lot of reflection so it's hard to tell so i i think this is like an asmr thing wade did you ever have people did anyone other than me when they're is like an asmr thing wade did you ever have people did

anyone other than me when they're getting like an eye exam ever like zone out completely so think about sitting in the chair and the and the eye doctor just being like uh one or two a or b and i would just sit there and be like oh hey yeah no it's very like it definitely pulls you in it's like it's like meditating like i it's very relaxing but it feels creepy because the eye doctor is like can you read or what and i'm like i don't i don't know it's very different being on the other side though because you've got like the two i forget what they're called the two things you have to adjust and then you have um the astigmatism like there's all kinds of like little adjustment things that's involuntary are you guys seeing how much eyebrow

action i have going on here this this raising my eyebrows thing that's not conscious i didn't realize how much i do that well at least it's proven you don't have botox though i don't like it don't become self-conscious about it you'll start to think about it too much well now i'm definitely thinking about it because it's happening uncontrollably man this lens is really pretty i gotta i just bought it and no this isn't a hundred thousand dollar lenses you gotta film like some yogurt commercials or something with that well i bought it to like add some uh insert stuff for the movie it's like what lift up and inserts of the like like close-up face stuff for the movie my chapped lips i don't like this i'm going away i'm going back to my eyes because at least those are nicer to look at so So how are you guys?

I'm good. Like I said, been working pretty hard on the movie. That comes out like sometime. It's going to be soon. It is going to be sooner than we all think. And I'm ready for it for sure. But how are you guys? I'm the host.

Did I not mention that? I'm the host. So I don't remember, man. I got so lost in our eyes i'm getting i'm getting re-lost in your eyes every time i look i wonder if they make an autofocus like macro lens not that there's any purpose to that but like the ability to autofocus would be nice for this exact thing to happen which would never happen again ever no i uh i like i said james has been sick and he has not been sleeping and so that means that i

haven't been sleeping very much but now i'm also sick so oh no hooray i'm all drugged up so you can't tell and i had a bunch of caffeine but like i got i just got like that cold i'm sorry man i'm good other than surprise thing i canceled yesterday was scheduled twice for today and then everything went sideways surprise surprise but had a good haul you guys have a good holiday what holiday was it thanksgiving i think did you did you do thanksgiving oh you've been through a thanksgiving thing i made some mashed potatoes and whatever it is play so that was nice i hosted uh over a dozen people from both sides of our family and i filled the entire house with smoke sorry i just i just realized how

dumb what we're doing you just did really anyone who's watching this and not just listening has already turned the video off and it's like well this episode's a complete loss but yeah i i filled the house with smoke but that was only because something like a bubbled over and the food all turned out pretty good which was a big struggle and a big relief and the lions suck at football so hooray for that yeah well join the club do you suck at football too yes i do but also i'm a bengals fan that i usually root for the vikings and uh well both of them lost their quarterbacks and they're uh let's not talk about football let's talk about anything else a football man bojaro's thumb fell off so his thumb fell off well no he had to have wrist

surgery oh one tendon he kind of needs that doesn't he yeah it's a pretty important part of the football motion is the thumb yeah there was a game a couple weeks ago where he was on the sideline trying to warm up and throw the ball and he like went to release it and his hand just like let go and like collapse and it was like that's a good sign it looked like an snl sketch it looked like he was doing it on purpose because he was he's like a pro football player right so he's doing the thing and when he goes to throw it it's just like and the ball falls down i like how we're trying to show the throwing motion while zoomed in on our eyes yeah you can see what i'm doing right i want to see if i can lean back because i'm leaning forward for the focus i'm gonna i'm

gonna go how far away does your macro lens focus can you go like stand on the other side here oh it goes to infinity i i yeah i i suppose i don't know that i have to measure it i don't know oh wait no yeah wait there's my light switch whoa light switch all right go put your face where the light switch is hey mark you look like you're in a police lineup. Turn to the side. Turn to the side. Yeah! Uh-huh! Me too! Points! Thank you! That's weird. When I block the light, the red... That's cool.

I'm discovering all kinds of new things here. You guys want light switch chat? You can just see like the blurry of my mouth? Is that good wait if i if i drop the f stop it'll decrease the uh focal distance so we can get a little bit of both but it'll be oh man look at that mouth all right so i feel like this is cinematic so i could actually talk i don't know i'm fake fake talking. Yeah, I know. Just talk. Let's do something that resembles an episode at some point. Right, right.

Okay. All right. So, um... Do we have to do it like this? Yes. Yes. Because the topic of this episode was inspired by that one guy on Reddit. Oh, boy.

And the topic was, I miss... I'm paraphrasing because i can't remember what it specifically was but uh-huh i'm trying to mix up the perspectives here okay you think we could make one face if we like stack our who's on top on my on my screen i'm on top i don't give the look you can see the hairs i haven't shaved all right wait is the bald oh my chapped lips i'm the middle this is like the time magazine cover where they take people from all over the world to make one person we are that person now reporting live from uh distractible hq it's another episode about nothing because that one guy on reddit said that he or she or they or them missed

the episodes where we just did nothing and goof around for God knows how long. Uh, and so it's actually weird because I did not tell these guys what the topic of the episode was. I'm in pain. All right. I think it's time to give this one up. I don't know, Mark. I don't know if we really got all of that bit. I think maybe the bit is over. It's time to get serious. What happened? Did I grow? I don't know if grow is the right term, man.

You've always been more of a grower than a shower. Mark is in a shower. Marker's in a nuclear test range. Hey, if we do another ad bit with meteors or like explosions, you've got it. Hey, I ordered a new mattress. Ding dong. Oh. So dumb.

Oh. So we have an idiot, a sleep deprived guy and a sick guy doing a podcast episode today and this is what you get wait you left yourself as the idiot yeah i don't have any other excuses right now guy who dealt with customer service people for three hours i don't does that mean something customer service did the whole the whole reason i was late you know i have a gripe uh just to kick off the nothingness oh i want some grapes i was telling you i was i was late you know i have a gripe uh just to kick off the nothingness oh i want some grapes i was telling you i was i was doing a firmware update on this thing oh what's the lens like on that we should see the lens uh it's the same as uh a bomb

it's like when you give toddlers technology and they make their first video and it's like really shitty and they look at it embarrassed 20 years later like what was i thinking this episode is brought to you by tresemme once silky smooth hair that's still full of natural movement the tresemme keratin smooth weightless collection is your simple solution this new collection features a wide range of products from nourishing shampoo and conditioner to lightweight heat protectants and a silky smooth serum for a sleek finish.

The thing where you could take. I feel like everyone, the first time Photobooth pops up, you have those videos and pictures where you're like, Wait, record this.

Record this. This would be so funny. And then it's not. It is funny. It's funny. Mine weren't. Let us know in the sub it's not it is funny it's funny uh mine weren't let us know in the subreddit if it was funny what was your gripe about sir anyway uh so this is not sponsored i would take a sponsorship from dji i would absolutely do that i would love to be sponsored by dji i've spent a lot of money with dji but they have this habit of doing things uh in a way that

is not transparent and very secretive and very emulative of like Apple and how they do things. But a lot of time it just comes out to being like, there's no answers. So this camera came out like three years ago. Get a new one. What are you poor? Well, I would if they would release one. So they've said this is the 6K version and they've said that they're going to have an 8K version

coming out. Like literally when this went on sale, it was like you could also pre-order the other one and now nothing. And so I experienced this with their drone. Yeah, they love doing that. Oh, so you did buy the new one. It just doesn't exist yet.

No, I didn't. Because you can't pre-order it. I didn't pre-order it at the time because I didn't have this yet. But this is very useful, but it's like it's lacking some things that they they drip feed these accessories that they said they were going to come out with like when it launched so when it launched it said it was going to have like an xlr for audio in expansion thing it came out two years after the camera came out they finally

were like here's the plate and i'm like where where am i why i didn't do it you okay buddy mr stark i don't feel so good too much abuse of the bomb switch the camera's getting ornery but it's like i my gripe about nothing which doesn't matter to anyone is that where is it dji that's it so what is your experience with dji that eventually it comes out and it always works or is it dji hmm that's it so what does your experience with dji that eventually it comes out and it always works or is it still garbage because the thing that really gets me is companies will do that and then years later the thing comes out and then it like doesn't work right and you're like what did we wait for why did that take so long it's just no it's weird because i like dji's stuff their drone i got finally got for ethan but the problem was I ordered an Inspire 2 way long ago,

and that was basically I gave them my money for the order, and they said, like, coming soon, and it's not cheap. And then months go by. I'm like, is this going to get filled? I sent an email. I was like, oh, yeah, sure. A year goes by, and it's not there, and I keep, uh, sorry, your birthday was a year ago. Happy birthday. Also, I'm getting you that drone for this birthday as well. I'm still getting you the drone sport. I'll be back with the cigarettes any minute. For the next three birthdays, you get the one drone eventually.

This is Christmas too. Don't get greedy. And, and just so everyone knows, it's like, this is, this was not a casual thing. It's like, I bought him this drone so he could get good at the drone, so he could use it in like us making higher production things. So it's like it's not just a casual thing. But at the same time, I got strung around for a year and then they canceled my order out of nowhere because no reason. And then they canceled it. And then four months later, they were like, Inspire 3 is coming out. And I'm like, fucking, you couldn't have just told me that.

Yeah. And then with this one, I'm worried now that they're like, they've built up this camera for three years and they've said there's something coming. And I'm worried that they're going to discontinue this camera and all the accessories I've got for it and then launch a completely new thing. That's what I'm worried about. Originally, the upgrade to the AK was just swapping out the main headpiecepiece you could still keep the camera body and you just have the different sensor anyway that's my gripe points to me all right relate relatable relatable relatable i know it's not

i know that i don't know i feel like no but this is a technology thing it's not it's not cameras for most people but like everyone has to live with technology and tech companies just do that like they have you by they have you by the the nip of your neck whatever that might be i don't think that's the phrase but not everyone lives with technology there's guy guy bear guy bear grilling what's his name i'm sorry what The guy who lives in the woods. Guy Bear Grillin? Guy Bear Grillin? Yeah, I know that guy. What the hell's his name?

That's my favorite new cooking show hosted by Guy Fieri and Bobby Flay. Guy Bear Grillin. Guy Bear Grillin. Is it not something like that? Are you trying to say Bear Grills? That's it. No, you were as far from his name while still saying his name in the same sentence. But you were literally as far as possibly could be.

You just gave us the chat GPT version of Bear Grylls' name. Guy Bear Gryll. Someone put the prompt in to you. Please give me the name of an Englishman who's good at surviving in weird random situations ah guy bear grilling guy bear grillington the third i was taking like man bear pig from south park and confusing him with guy fury and bear grills and i just made them all one part guy part bear part grill all man oh man yeah well i don't know what my point was never mind points to you thank you yeah yeah that was it my point was that even if you don't like technology everyone loses technology and like i think everyone can relate to why tech company x did you do this to me i have i'm in

a position right now where i have i have spent a lot of money on our home router network i'd like more than i should have but but I went for a very specific brand and model of router because I had an experience with it and I really liked it. I was like, all right, I'm going to buy. I bought three of them. And so we have a mesh network over the whole home, right? Very expensive, like embarrassingly expensive. But internet is core to what we do. I need internet in my whole house. It needs to be good. One of the three of them just stopped working. Was that when we were recording this last week? Yes. That router is

still broken. I've been emailing with the company and it's not like, oh, this feature stopped working or oh, it doesn't do this one. It doesn't do anything. It got a firmware update and it bricked. It's just broken. And it's like they, the company made the firmware update pushed

it live over the air to my device it automatically updated which i should never have left on and that's my own fault and now it's broken i'm like i'm emailing with their support and they're like turn it on and connect to the one i'm like no i don't think you're understanding me it turns on and i can't do anything i can't i can't connect to the wi-fi if i plug a computer into it it doesn't recognize it it turns on and consumes electricity and that's all it does and the support guys are like oh have you tried factory resetting it like no i didn't get into the factory resetting it have you tried resetting it yeah thank you i'm so glad i didn't say what was on my mind were you saying i need to try turning it well did you try turning it off and back on again you mean on a fancy device where all there is is one led touch

screen and one hole with with a pin-sized hole with the word reset on it did i try the other thing other than the touch screen that doesn't work i didn't mean to be the no i didn't think of that one. But that's my thing, right? Like I'm emailing with this company right now and that's where I'm at. I feel like everyone has that. Mandy got a new phone once. Mandy got an iPhone once.

And it just, it was just defective from the factory. We got the new, and you know, it's like new phone day, right? We got home with the new iPhone and it's like, ooh, new phone. This is so fancy. It has all, never worked. It didn't get wifi.

It didn't connect to cell service. Like she couldn't even get past the setup because it wouldn't set up. It was the iPhone X. It wouldn't set up the face unlock, the face recognition. The whole thing, it was like the board itself was broken.

So for like two days, we were like, what if we reset it? But it's not. But everyone has that. What you do is you open it up and void the warranty to make sure you mess with it yourself.

I dunked it in the toilet and put it in a bag of rice. Didn't fix nothing. Was the rice good? Yeah, it was fine. All right, good. Points for good rice. I appreciate that. Wait, do you have any gripes or random anythings?

Do you have words to say? What do you have to say for yourself? Those are sounds. Those are sounds. I sounds i gotta contest that that's not words i mean i could gripe about the fact that i had a install for a tv that i canceled yesterday you're gonna complain about the fact that you made us two hours late because you were watching guys install the tv in your house they weren't supposed to be here and they messaged me an hour ago they're like your install will be there in two hours how inconvenient for you did they just materialize in your home you opened the door for them i didn't know what to do whenever they were like yeah we're here and i was

like no i canceled the appointment they're like oh you don't have to do that we're already here that is what they said i'm about to lay some sweet victim blaming here uh so listen up buttercup wait i don't even know if i'm the target or if wait's target but i'm ready get it mark uh no actually i would i withdraw i i don't want to get him come on we'll do it together are you like saying this with gaps like so people can make a soundboard of this not intentionally get him come on go for the jugular good nothing did you have anything to say I don't even remember if you were talking about it

no I started giving him shit about the TV situation so I cut him off points for nothing for Wade he had a whole lot of nothing and now a moment of silence alright good moment of silence that's points for both of you hey you know what i've been working on lately you know what's exciting to me what's fun and how you can tell i'm a midwest dad now my garage we have a we have a two-car garage

at this place we're living right now and we need storage and we're fine but like it'd be nice to have some storage i'm put i'm taking cabinets out i'm planning to buy more shelving and cabinets i'm putting a workbench in this is exciting stuff guys do you have any do you have any dream dream garage things that you can give me as tips yeah buy a couple suvs park them in your yard and use them as storage one we have an hoa so i can't do that oh by the hoa that's not what i asked oh shelves like what's your dream do you have like a dream garage thing like a specific workbench or something or like a we have a shelf over the garage when you first pull in so like the garage doors open and there's a shelf like right there that sits like under it so there's like extra storage kind of floating in the middle and i think that's really

handy um but then like the shelves and storage bins across like the walls would be nice to have more of those i want shelves we redid the basement so i could have my office i want shelves for some storage like behind me there's like a little bit of a space behind the wall there and i would love to have shelving units for that but nothing too crazy it's like i wanted to be easy to access but just be able to have more places to put things and sorry mark you go for it no i mean i I really didn't have anything else to say. It's just like, yeah, have you tried shelves? Have you tried factory resetting it?

Yeah, well, but listen, I'm going for fun, right? I'm mounting bikes on the wall. I'm looking into bike lifts so that we can jupe. Get one of those little roller coasters they have, like for kids. Don't you have a wall of Ryobi tools, Mark? I had to take it down. Oh, that's right. little roller coasters they have like for kids let you have a wall of ryobi tools where i had to take it down uh oh that's right i had to paint it all black and so that's what it is right now uh so all my ryobi stuff is why would you paint your tools black no not my tools the garage

i was being me well don't stop that don Don't be anything. Experience Zen. A moment of silence for Wade. So, Bob, I think that I think that, you know, there's always a method of loading up your garage with RYOBI tools. However, RYOBI days only comes once a year. And right now it is not. Yeah. So all I can say is that my garage and my entire existence right now is cluttered camera nonsense and hard drive nightmares. So that's why the only things I have to talk about is cameras, movie, and the other thing I said. Cameras. I said cameras. Oh, okay.

That movie. I said that. Oh, okay. Moment of silence over for Wade. Oh, thank God. That was worth three points. That was very difficult. That's the longest I've been quiet in, okay. Moment of silence over for Wade. Oh, thank God. That was worth three points. That was very difficult. That's the longest I've been quiet in my life.

Congratulations. You didn't seem uncomfortable at all, which is weird. I was zenning it. Good zen. Anyway, I gave Bob points to compensate, though. That's good. Fair is fair. All right.

Well, what's going on out in the internet there? There's got to be something else there. The actors are all up in arms about AI. I got one of those Steam OLED decks. That's cool. You mean the marginally different? Didn't you have a Steam deck? Oh, well, then good.

Good for you. I haven't really gotten to mess with it yet, but I've got it. I opened it up. I'm charging it and everything. I want to start playing with it. I don't know how all they fully work. Can you still plug them into like a TV or is there like a separate control? It's a big, bulky, heavier thing than I thought it would be.

It's pretty hefty. Yes, you can. You can get a I believe a USB-C dongle and you can plug it into a TV. You can have peripherals into it like a mouse and a keyboard. It is effectively a computer. But just run steam but it's specially configured well so you can the steam os thing is like an overlay you can get down below that and boot it into the regular os of the steam deck itself i forget what it's called

but proton or something i don't remember i'll probably never do that because it's me no well it's a good way to break it potentially potentially, and especially someone as tech. What's the opposite of savvy? Suvi. That's it. Tech Suvi as you are should not do that, but you could play Diablo 4 on it if you buy it on Steam. Also, if I buy it again. You can't play it if you already own it,

but you can buy it again and then play it on Steam. I want to play Path of Exile. You mean other Diablo? There's Path of Exile 2, right? It's coming out next year, but apparently it's like a different game than path of exile yeah it's two yeah but it's apparently it's like a very different experience than yeah because it's a new game yeah modernized or something you know what they add you know you add to make it feel modern microtransactions i like those wait path of exile 1 has them but they're all cosmetic i think hey it's not pay to win it's pay to steez we've said that word a lot i still don't know what

it means neither do i anyway points for both of you good job all right so we gotta actually get some serious conversation going here well i'm the host just you're presenting me with serious people have been tweeting at us today about their Spotify wrapped stuff, and someone spent 143,000 minutes watching Distractable. It came to 99 days that they spent this year watching Distractable. I hope they can only do one thing at a time, and that they earnestly spent that many hours of their life sitting quietly, doing nothing else, watching and or listening to us.

Did they do the thing that we've always said in ads gone by in yonder days where you get your 15 sonos rays and you blast out the use code distractible to buy a dozen sonos speakers and then yeah everyone listened to this we miss doing the ads too uh it's just like the nature of the beast right now. We're going to get back into it as soon as they listen to us. It turns out advertisers are not as fun as we are. Sometimes we're here to have fun, but some companies are all like, say these words. And and we, you know, we do our best.

I was just talking to the will gone by recently about how much he loved our meteor ad bit the will what do you mean editor will who is not yet left but will be leaving tomorrow when this episode comes out yes his last day is saturday which is tomorrow also you made it really sound like he was dead and that's why he's leaving mark will's dying at the very least he's dead to us that's true uh i wish him the worst of dying. At the very least, he's dead to us. That's true. I wish him the worst of luck. I hope his career tanks and he never has any more success in the rest of his life. Thanks for nothing.

See you. See you never. Bye. Please edit this nicely, by the way. Oh, yeah. Don't make me look like a total a-hole, Will. As if he could. Right, guys?

Yeah. Good as the Plutos. Oh, God. I'm wrapping this up but i had important topics oh never mind i'm not wrapping this up that's negative points bob for having something but go ahead i guess no well i listen james walks now the other day i left the gate open he has like an area and i left the gate open and i went to the bathroom we were all exhausted he's been sick and mandy didn't realize i had left the gate open and he snuck out the gate and was trying to climb the stairs i like came out of the bathroom and he was like standing on the in front of the stairs and he was just like oh ready to start going and i came and was like whoop and put him back in his area and closed the gate whoops that's a thing my mark this doesn't count as something don't take points from me

my friend came over here with his kid and uh his daughter was crawling and the only place she wanted to be was the stairs up and down the stairs all like i don't know why but like it was so much space to explore it and she was like but what about the stairs? I mean, it's understandable. As a kid, I was climbing up on everything within reach. So being up high is practically owning the world at that age. You did that in college, too. The whole. Yes.

Our course thing. Did you see, Mark? Someone put a picture from not from us at all, but from a UC dorm on the subreddit and was like, there's no way these are the beds that they bunked. Those are the beds that we bunked. That's 100%. And with both of the beds were as high as they could be. So yes, Mark's bed was literally eight to 10 inches from the ceiling.

Yeah. People probably saw the animation was like, that's hyperbole. It wasn't. No, it was not. I slid in like a sarcophagus. We could have absolutely lowered your bed. I had all the space in the world. Oh, yeah.

Your bed could have been like three or four feet lower, and I would have been fine. But we did not do that. That is not how we chose to live. If you notice on those beds, there are tiny holes in all the posts in the center. That's where you put the coat hanger. If you cut a plastic coat hanger. No, don't do that. This is just for proof. I'm not saying do the bunking i'm saying verify this by cutting it and you'll notice that plastic coat hanger the thick ones fits perfectly in that hole perfectly

like it was meant for it and we can't guarantee anyone's safety and would recommend strongly against it but i think we can guarantee they're not safety anecdotal evidence would suggest that those coat hangers are good for at least two semesters of college having those beds bunked up like that and plenty of activities next to them no so many activities all the room for activities we had we had to do activities in the room that we made for activities that's right how many times did you guys have people over ones nuns oh several are you asking about the party we threw or having friends over because we did we did stuff any anything that was anything that warranted the the stacked bed what did we have we had a we with guitar hero 3 in our room we had that that was hot that was pretty hot mark's actually responsible for me playing guitar hero three i got it from bob so bob is responsible oh bob's responsible because it's bob for the

corneolis effect was it the triangular properties the triangular properties anyway i wrapped this episode up did who had a point left hanging wait are you giving or taking because i can say more words no i'm in a point to make or a point to... If I have a point to make, do you have a point you'll take? A point to take. That was the other word. Oh, man. A point to wait for beating you to the punch.

I'm hungry, so we can do a point to bake. No, you got the point. I'll take it away. I don't want a point to fake. Mark, you missed the bit. Look, a point the snake there is already an episode called worst piece of shit episode ever and that one get that one maintains the title trust me yep all right and wrapping up this episode of a whole lot of nothing uh we got wade you've got three plus two plus two plus three

why am i saying it like this that's a lot of points what the shit plus two plus one plus one is 14 i think oh no i don't think i have that many at all. You had four plus two plus two. Oh, no. Whoa. It's just fingers flying everywhere. Minus one. What? He did take points when you said you had something to say.

Oh, I thought you were joking. Plus two. You have 11. Wade wins. Woo! If it makes you feel any better, even if I didn't deduct it, you wouldn't have won. Fine. Uh, Wade, winner speech? Buckle in, buttercups,

because next episode, I have an idea. Oh. Bob? Uh, it was nice just to be included. Uh, I'm glad, I'm glad I got to be here for this, and to witness Wade's greatness. He really is the king of nothing. That he is. Thank you. Anyway, we want to wish a fond farewell to our editor, Will, who is not dead.

We want to reiterate that. No, he's fine. He's good. Dolly, Dolly. I know it's an incredible surprise. Were you singing the theme from Home Alone 2? I think so. I don't know why it just came to mind.

Well, if you recognize it, that was pretty good. That's why he's the winner. But yeah, so Will is departing for greener pastures and bigger projects. Turns out that editing this dumbass podcast wasn't the pinnacle

of his career, but I know he's going to reach higher heights with this on his resume. But also, feel free to omit it if you really are embarrassed. Tell them which episodes to watch and discourage watching other ones. You know, just keep the view narrow.

What if the first 20 minutes of this is just like an error screen because he refuses to look at our faces? Also, Will, if you want to give a personal little, you could be writing or whatever, text to speech, audio message, or you could record a video, I guess. But say what has been your favorite episode to edit. And if you leave a gap of silence, I'm disappearing into the ether again.

If you leave a gap of silence with no, you didn't enjoy it at all, and we'll be horribly offended. Hello, it's Will. My favorite episode to edit was either Dangerous Coasters because of the insane coaster sound design, or Beware the Candy Uncle because of the jingle I got to do at the end of that episode. If you want to know my true favorite episode as a whole, listen to the GMFST episode The Mysterious

Will revealed to find out. Thanks for an incredible ride these past three years. Alright. Man, I hope he said something. I hope so. Man, it'd be embarrassing if the video just ends. Well spoken, Will. Well spoken. Podcast

out.
