Good evening, gentle listener, and welcome to Distractible, a Wood Elf production. The five-star show as voted by over 69 dude thousand reviewers. This week, Mark admits to an uncharacteristic antipathy for a desk clerk. Bob marries a flapper, and his tummy says no to a challenge. Wade states he is like Chucky, and that he gets butterflies of epic proportions. Yes, it's time for Go With Your Guts. Now sit back and prepare to be distracted and enjoy the show. Hello, everyone.

All of you listening today, welcome to Distractible, the wonderful podcast that everyone knows and loves. Hosted by me, Markiplier. Wow. And today, what? Hosted by all of us. Not exclusively. You made it sound like it's your podcast.

Even if you did set it up to host two in a row. I mean, well, I didn't set it up to host two in a row. That was Bob's doing. Or who's doing, was it? It was Bob's doing? Yes. I feel like it was yours and maybe Wade's partially. I do not take any responsibility for him hosting twice in a row.

Well, it sounds like it was just Mark's fault, then. Agreed. Alright, it's all my fault. So, uh, I am the guilty party here. I declare myself guilty because I am the judge of this episode and therefore I will not be allowed to judge the next episode. I declare it! Do you decree it? I decree it. That's awfully presumptuous.

But in this episode, I am the host for now, so I will follow through with my solemn duties to be impartial as I judge Bob and Wade in their endeavors in this episode. How are you guys doing today? Hey, that's us. Oh, that's when we come on. Hey, hey guys, how's it going? Hello.

I'm pretty good. You may hear some faintly, extremely loud hammering and uh table sawing there's a construction in my backyard so that's unfortunate timing that's just our audience applauding hold the applause everyone hold the applause hold the applause yeah you know the applause i'd like to think that every time someone starts listening they just start clapping yes yes yes this is in their car in their office. That's the impression that I get from some people on the subreddit. Yeah.

I love the subreddit posts where people are like, don't drive and listen to this. I almost died. They said something that was so funny. I almost drove my car off a bridge. Oh, God. It's kind of funny, but it was scary. Don't do that. Please. God, jeez please don't do that out

there pay attention to the road or whatever whatever you're doing be careful i know we're funny but man oh man yeah that is great i do appreciate i want to see videos of people not as they're driving no no that's not what i'm asking for that's i don't want to see video evidence of them almost dying when they laugh. Never mind. I'm not going to say anything. No, finish it. Just don't do this while you're driving.

Do this safely. Whatever Mark's about to say, do it safely. Yeah, whatever this is, I just wanted to give videos of people in strange places just listening to the episode and just going, woo! Yeah! But, I mean, now I'm starting to think that's just gonna cause problems so don't do anything i say evidence of people using our sponsored products oh wait this one don't not that one i mean yeah wow all right i uh i guess you can look we're not ones to tell you what you can and

can't do no don't videotape it but do use a condom if you're going to have sex, okay? Those are the things. And do it on your... God, jeez. Are we still sponsored by... Please, Will, please bleep out the names of the sponsors that Wade is about to throw into this awesome bit. While eating a chicken sandwich. While eating your favorite chicken sandwich.

That's good, right? Five star rating with 69,000 reviews, baby. Yep. That's how we do. that more than rojogan no all right mr rogan himself it's funny because he's bald and bald people that is funny i didn't even think about the bald thing oh man oh wow uh anyway anything new going on in you guys's life? My parents visited last week. They were here.

They were driving. They were running an RV, and they drove all the way from Ohio up through Canada and then down to the Bay Area where we live and driving home now. A little while back, I guess, we had Molly's family visit, and then the very next week we went to New York, and then we got back, and two days after we got back, We had a free inspection on the house and the inspection was like Well, I wish I had some good news for you. I was like, that's the way I love to hear these things. What's going on? He's like everything's broken. You need to replace it. Oh, so we got a new HVAC which I didn't know what HVAC stood for

But it's basically your furnace your AC unit if you have a humidifier, you know, that entire system. So they went and checked our ducts and fixed a leak, replaced our AC, replaced the furnace and all that fun jazz. And the guy kept telling us how the new equipment wasn't going to spy on us, which made us a little nervous. So I keep making sure that, you know, I'm probably not being spied on. I'm not sure why I was reassured about that part three or four times. I heard more about how the equipment does not spy on us than i did about what it does right uh that's really reassuring but i feel comfortable other than the excruciating paranoia as usual i mean he told you it doesn't spy on you that's the right thing to say yeah but imagine meeting somebody for

the first time when they're like hey i don't watch you uh shower through your walls like great yeah good i hope you don't thanks pal why would you say that don't don't do that i hey, I don't watch you shower through your walls. Like, great. Yeah, good. I hope you don't. Thanks, pal. Why would you say that? Don't don't do that. I'm glad you don't. Done. Yeah, I'm happy.

Satisfied. There we go. Perfect. All right. Well, I guess if you want to make someone feel comfortable, just tell them you do not watch them while they're naked and alone or think that they're alone. Well, I've actually been uncomfortable since I realized you've never said that to me. Yeah.

Wait, you've never reassured me a single time that you don't watch me drive to my chiropractor's office and then watch my chiropractor sessions through the window that is true where i have my shirt off i have not said that to you guys we should probably get to the topic though why what uh do you avoiding something yes this is the topic why is wade watching us in our everyday lives yeah uh let's get to the bottom of it because i uh look up to you and admire you and stuff and i try to make a better me based on you look up to it he looks up to us is that a short joke from our drains oh interesting ah it was a hint uh i see i knew that camera plugged into the plug in my bathroom was a camera and not an air freshener. I knew that camera was a camera.

I always suspected it. It says Canon right on the front of it. And I was like, Canon doesn't make air fresheners. Ah, whatever. I just think it's important to make sure that we know there are no walls between us. Ah, there's no walls between us, eh? I think he's in the walls between us. He's in the walls. He's in the walls between us. He's in the walls.

He's in the walls. Is he in the fucking trees? It's an honest reference. Alright, you each get two points. Hey, two points. Am I the host? Nope. Okay.

Alright. Moving on to the topic of the day. Good, good, good. Starting off, deducting two points from Wade and... What's that for? Just to even things out. Yeah, well, you got bonus points, so he's taking them away from you.

Yeah. So, Wade, minus two points. So that puts Bob at two points and Wade at zero. I'll take it, I guess. All right. It's neck and neck as we go into the first chapter

of this discussion. It's going to be a return to form, a little bit of an old school way of doing things. I want to hear about personal experiences because I thought of something that occurred not recently, but a few years ago. I don't know if you guys have ever seen me walk into any random store and order something, but I think it's a very normal experience. Amy sometimes thinks I'm a little odd when interacting with, you know, people behind desks or cash registers. Like for example, just the other day, there was a store that sells cream puffs and I've never had a cream puff. Um, and I wanted a cream puff. So when I go

in the store and I go up to this guy, I go like, I would like a cream puff. Did he work there? Yeah, of course he worked there. Okay. That's a good start. Yeah. He was behind the cash register. I can only assume that he worked there. And then, you a good start. Yeah. He was behind the cash register. I can only assume that he worked there. And then, you know, I confidently knew what I wanted to go up there and I ordered a cream puff and I got a cream puff at, well, they said like, okay, what kind? And I was like, what do you recommend? And they said, there's the menu. And I said, cookies and cream.

And they said, what filling? And I was like, what do you recommend? And this is the exact inflection that I do it. So anyway, this is the point of this is not about this particular story because this was a perfectly ordinary interaction. Sure. But there was another occasion. This is just a set of baseline that like sometimes Amy thinks that I'm like, I'm a little odd

when I order things from stores. It's not necessarily true or I don't think so. But this is different. We're in a hotel. We're checking in. We are traveling somewhere. I won't name specifically, but we're going in there. And the desk clerk there, it started off as a perfectly normal interaction, you know,

like, OK, what's your name, ID, credit card. But the more that I interacted with this guy, the more I was skeezed out. And I can't explain why or how or what caused it. But something about his like body language the way he spoke like just a vibe i was getting from him everything said in my gut not to trust this guy right everything about it and and amy saw this like amy saw this and like noticed that i was being not rude i wasn't like insulting or yelling or anything but i was was cold. Like I was, I was oddly distant in these interactions. And there was like a lot of weird lingering pauses in the conversation that was just like extremely uncomfortable.

And even I walked away from it very uncomfortable, but everything was fine. You know, we got the room keys and we go up to the hotel. Um, but in the elevator, Amy turns to me and like, how are you so rude to someone who works like one of those jobs? And I, I said to me and like, how are you so rude to someone who works like one of those jobs? And I said, Amy, like, I don't know what it was, but everything about that interaction screamed that it was wrong. I felt it in my gut that something was horribly off about that person. I don't know why, but there was no way that I could physically be my normal, nice, you know, like self to this person because everything in my gut said, don't trust this man. There's something wrong with this person. And there

may be nothing wrong with that. And it was kind of a discussion where like, Amy was like, man, that's very strange. Like you've never done that before. It kind of makes me like question like this. And I said, Amy, like you've known me for, like, years, years and years and years. And it's like, this is the first time this has ever happened. Like, wouldn't you trust my gut? In all the other occasions where I've been perfectly normal, I've never been rude to anybody. It's always the thing. I tip servers.

I try to be as cordial as possible. This is the one occasion. And my gut said something was wrong. Like, wouldn't you trust that? And there's no conclusion to this. Like, I didn't hear, like, oh, this person murdered 15 people or blew up the whole hotel. I didn't hear any of that. There's no end to that story. But I would like to hear moments in your life when you go with your gut, when your gut tells

you something that something's off, right or wrong. I would love to hear things where it's right and there's a proper payoff, but I would love to hear occasions in your life where your gut just said that something wasn't right and you went with it or you trusted or you didn't trust it and didn't go with it. And it either went right or wrong or there was no repercussions for it. I just kind of want to explore the idea of this back of your mind, signal that something is off man okay that's a fun topic i really thought you were going to ask the guy for a cream puff so i can no no no this is way before the cream puff was just recently that was like last week and just so you know for a moment i forgot what a cream puff was and i thought you'd ordered a

cream pie at this store and i was really curious what store you'd gone to to order i don't think there's a well i can't say for certain if there's not a cream pie store but no cream puff yeah big difference i think a man like you with such a strong german heritage would have had a cream puff at some point in his life is it a german thing i think cream puffs are pretty german maybe that's maybe that's false i don't know. Yeah. Cream puff. Cream puff. Cream puff. Das cream puff. I'm curious what you Googled. Cream puff?

What did you? I Googled, are cream puffs German? Apparently they're French. Profiterole? What is that? Choux a la creme. Originated in France. We are so cultured. Yeah, whatever. My strong german cream puff history listen i don't know why but there's something in my life where german german food and culture and cream puffs

are inexorably tied together it was like a restaurant or something i went to when i was a kid must be look yeah look it's the Windboedel. Windboedel. Ye old sausage puff. German cream puffs. Wind what? Windboedel. Windboedel.

Windboedel. Windboedel. What are you saying? We're probably not saying anything. I don't imagine our accents are very convincing here. Ich spreche Deutsch. Windboedel. Und meine... Ooh, I don't know the word for accent.

Meine accent ist sehr gut. Ja. That's really... That's the word for cream puff in German, though. Windbootel. The more you know. Windbootel. I thought that was something else.

Windbootel. Wind is puff, I guess? I don't know. You know what? I'm going to trust my gut and believe you. Trust your gut, Wade. Good job trusting your gut. I will.

Yeah, all right. That's a point to wade for trusting his gut all right don't call it a comeback all right but if you guys need some time i can put on some jeopardy music or something or some royalty-free not jeopardy music that's not actually jeopardy but kind of jeopardy music do i do kind of need a minute to think through my entire life yeah i need like a moment because this yeah because there's a lot of there's a lot of moments where i've like gone with my gut but it's i don't i don't know if it counts as a specific instance of like judging a person i mean

there's so many times i've done it doesn't have to be no no no no anything this is it's not about judging people it's about gut the gut part is what you focus on why would you focus on the person yeah i guess so but your gut i guess is making a judgment it's just like it's an instinctual judgment on a thought processed one i have one he's got one he's got one we've talked to i've got an idea we've talked about it before though so it's not a new story it's just a funny one is it me again remember when we were all you remember you guys remember when we're all hanging out at mark's place oh yes i remember that shooting videos and doing the uh doing getting ready for the tour, doing improv workshop stuff and hanging out.

And you guys had these, Mark had this crazy idea to do like a sour challenge video. And something in my gut was just like, oh, I don't know if we want to do this, Bob. Yeah, mine too, but I needed the clout. And so I was like, oh, I'm feeling sick, guys. I don't think I can do a sour candies video. So I didn't, but then everyone else did,

and it was really funny because you all destroyed your mouths. Yeah, I trusted my gut. Because we were all bleeding by the end. We were literally bleeding. I mean, yeah, I'd say that totally counts because honestly your gut was 100% right. Like my mouth was just healing for weeks after that it took so long what like like a couple dozen sour warheads over the course of that like there's a ton a couple dozen i think it got up to 40 or 50 it was what it was 10 factorial warheads each for those who went all

the way down yeah i'm pretty sure the total was like between 40 and 50 i think i stopped at like 40 something like 42 yeah everyone else went to like 50 oh yeah i think me and tyler went all the way i didn't eat any warheads well that reminds me of a time i didn't listen to my gut there was this time we did this thing called the sour challenge when my gut was like hey you shouldn't do this no no no no no no no extra points no extra points points to bob oh damn it yeah but that's not like a whole new we've definitely talked about that before that just popped into my brain i mean we've never talked about at length in this context so therefore it's new and i will i will treat it as such other times i trusted in my gut i mean it's weird to differentiate because there's like

in my brain right now trusting my gut like i know exactly what you're talking about. But there's also moments where like I get paralyzed by fear almost. And it's not a gut instinct, but it's like a similar phenomenon to where like that fear of messing up or feel of fear of failure that I've battled. Like it has a similar feeling to me where it's like I might mess this up. I need to back out. I got to go. But like I've got to convince myself not to like listen to that. But it's weird how it hits almost the same way. So I'm trying to come up with like these different ideas.

Like I have moments of like, oh, I was really scared to do that. And it's like, well, that's not that's not the thing. But like, it feels very similar, which is very strange. You could just talk about what you're thinking of. I'll kind of a weird college story. Are we doing titles and everything? You can do a title. I'll give bonus points for titles.

All right. I have kind of a story that I think qualifies for what you're looking for and is an interesting college story. I think it's interesting. I'm going to call it bro. Gotta come pick me up. Oh, okay. I thought it was just going to be bro.

Bro. You gotta come pick me up, bro. I like that. That's good. Would you like to submit a title winner are you still thinking i'll do i'll do all mine together you go ahead i'm still thinking all right bob gets awarded the title point oh we were competing right then i see damn it yeah that's how it goes all right that's fair that's the old rules this is the old world format

the old world back in the old world. Ew, sweet summer children. You don't even know what the old world was like. Man, I came up with a title too. A moment too late. You can throw it out there. It won't be better than mine, but you can try. Yeah. I wouldn't. You're gonna die. Yeah, I like Bob the Bear. But that's pretty good.

Don't get me wrong. That's good. Thank you. Thank you. I wouldn't. You're gonna die. That is good. Good fight. Good fight. Anyway, so i tell my story yeah okay so i was in college this is gonna be sometime around 2010 it's like a junior in college or something like that and when i was in school i was in oh people have asked about this so i can clear this up for sure i was in a fraternity i was in five mu alpha symphonia which is like a music fraternity it wasn't like oh we live in a house and we drink natural lights or whatever on the weekends it was like we're all musicians and we hang out and eat skyline and and serenade people on valentine's

day we had this event where you could pay us and we'd go around and serenade people really embarrassingly in their classes on valentine's day sort of stuff. And we sold grilled cheeses in the lobby of the music school. It was a very successful venture, which I streamlined into a highly profitable business. But anyway, so I had some bros. So literally this guy who calls me on this night is a bro. I'm at home. I'm at my house that I live in with my roommates.

And I'm just like sitting in my room playing Call of Duty or something on my Xbox. And nothing is happening. No plans. It's like a Thursday night. It's not the weekend. It's maybe almost a week. It's like Wednesday or Thursday, but it's not the weekend.

So I'm just at home. You know, I have like class the next day or whatever. And I get a call from my friend who I'm going to call Grayson. And we hang out sometimes, but we're not like best buds. So it's kind of like oh weird Grayson's calling I wonder what's going on and he calls me and I answer it he's like Bob is this Bob like yeah man it's me what's up man like okay I'm struggling right now because I took like a lot of mushrooms and I'm outside at this park and everything's great, but I need to go to Terry's Turf Club

and you need to take me. And like, this is not a request that I would normally get. And, you know, this guy and I hang out at like fraternity functions and he's, we're cool. And we have hung out like after college. I've seen him. So we're like friends. But this is a weird request.

And normally, you know, if you're a normal person, you might kind of be like okay okay buddy okay be safe like i'm i'm not gonna do that are you do you need me to bring you home and it's mind you it's like nighttime okay it's not like he's at the park during the day it's dark out in cincinnati which is not a safe place in certain areas and like parks around campus in cincinnati kind of sketchy after dark uh around the university of cincinnati not the best place and he's like i'm just laying here just looking around i just i had an epiphany we have to go to terry's turf club and i don't know what that is really he says this like it's a thing that i should know what it is i mean i do now but i had never heard of this before and i was like that's

i can't tell if that's like a mini golf course or like a astro turf emporium where you go to pick out turf for your yard or what yeah mark do you know what it is i know don't spoil it okay i won't i won't i'm just curious and so like this is weird right and any normal person on any given night might have just been like look i will give you a ride home maybe if you're if you're in trouble but you know i'm good man my gut was just like you have to go to grayson this is going to this is going to be a night and you have to bring someone can't just be the two of you i don't know why so eventually like he talks for a minute and i'm like are you good he's like yeah i'm fine i'm fine we just have to go and you have to bring me there and i'm like all right well can i get like a couple

guys can be like a car full of guys so we can all go together and he's like yeah yeah get the bros get the bros i'll be here and he sort of tells me where he is which is literally just laying on a grassy hill on the side of a road staring up at the stars and uh and i go down and i get my roommate one of my roommates at the time and explain it and he's like i'm not doing anything yeah whatever let's what's terry's turf club i don't know and i'm like i don't know what it is but we we have to go right i'm just i feel like we have to go grayson said and so we get in the car and we drive over and pick him up literally off the side of a busy road there's no parking spots or anything i just stop in traffic and grayson gets in the car and he's like go uh go like north go to this road and then just go north and we'll get there

and i'm like this is kind of in the area where you have gps but it's not really readily available so i'm trusting this buddy of mine who i know i trust but is high out of his mind on mushrooms according to him and i'm just trusting him and we're just driving and we're driving and driving and it's not very close to campus where we live it's somewhere north of campus like in the suburbs almost of cincinnati i don't remember very well but anyway we're driving and driving driving finally he's like all right this is the street it's on the right up here you'll see it and we pull up and it's this like awesome looking diner like a like an old school looking diner restaurant with a big sign up front that says terry's turf

club and we see it and there's just a crowd of people it's like thursday night at like 10 o'clock and there's a crowd of people so immediately i'm like well i don't know if i can afford this i'm a college kid and grayson's like i got you this is on me guys we have to do this i will buy this for us so then I'm like okay sick there's this huge line of people this must be awesome and we go and the lady is like yeah uh the hostess is like yeah there's a bit of a wait uh probably like two hours for you guys to get a table and my friend and I are like all right let's get out of here like I've never waited that long and Grayson is is like, that's fine. That's how long it always is.

Don't worry. There's this bar next door. We'll just hang out over there to be completely transparent. My friend that I brought with me was 21. I think I was 20 at this time. Yeah. Not of drinking age. And I was like, I can't, they won't let me, you know, they won't let me in there.

It's a bar and it's like a late, it's nighttime. He's like, nah, they don't care. I know there's people who are not going to check us. It's going to be fine. We go, we sit down, Grayson orders a round of drinks and we're sitting in this bar and it's like a late it's nighttime he's like nah they don't care i know these people they're not gonna check us it's gonna be fine we go we sit down grayson orders a round of drinks and we're sitting in this bar and i'm pretty uneasy about it but i'm still like really intrigued about terry's turf club turns out terry's turf club is this like legendary food establishment in the cincinnati area known for particularly their foie gras, which is like goose liver. It's just the one and only time in my life I've ever eaten foie gras. And it was at this diner. There's not a lot else that happened on this particular evening that was crazy. We hung out at the bar and then we got a table.

The place was packed. I had the foie gras and I think I had a burger or something, which is sort of, you know, they had a good burger was what I was told or whatever. And it was, it was delicious. And we had this amazing night and it's like etched into my memory. And it's literally all because when Grayson called, I just had that gut feeling where he called with this crazy ass request, you know, and I, at that point I had had friends who called and were like, dude, we're drinking, come to this bar. And I was that guy who was always like, nah, I'm good. Like, I don't want to, it's 11 o'clock. I don't want to come now out to this bar and all i was that guy who was always like nah i'm good like i don't want to it's 11 o'clock i don't want to come now out to a bar where you guys are already way ahead of me having a having a rough night whatever i'll catch you next time with this one time grayson called

and was just higher than i could imagine barely functioning but he was like we have to do it and my gut was like do it and it's it's just like a beautiful memory nothing insane happened no no one got hurt or anything we just dropped grayson off at home and then went on home and uh yeah i would never have experienced terry's turf club and i can't believe you haven't mark it's yeah it's apparently like a legendary thing in cincinnati that i had never heard of until that night i've never heard of it they actually um almost got shut down or they almost shut down a few years ago and like a new owner stepped in and bought the place. It's actually under new ownership now. But yeah, it's one of like the

things to do in Cincinnati is go to Terry's Turf Club. Huh. I've never been there ever. It's very cool. You have to wait quite a bit if you go at any point where it's busy, but it's very cool and absolutely worth it. It seems to now be just called the Turf Club. Yeah, because Terry is no longer in the picture. Terry doesn't own it. I see. Terry's in the picture. Something maybe happened to Terry. Terry don't work here

no more. He don't work at all. I'm robbing my liquor store. That's why we call him No Hands Terryry now yeah oh no i ain't uh terry i'm tony yeah this is tony's turf club now perry's turf club yeah perry is over there i don't know what anyway that that is good i love that you trusted your gut on that night because it's so easy just to stay at home be like i don't wanna i don't feel like it i get there you i mean your friend calls you high on shrooms maybe that's really a coin toss of whether that's gonna go so you just gotta go with your gut on it yeah no i fully expected that to be like we get in and he's like

let's get some wendy's or something and then we just get wendy's and go and it's like all right man give you a ride home that's cool yeah and which you know i have done that where a friend called and they were like i'm too drunk we're like i'm at this place i don't know where i am and it's like yeah well i'll help you you know yeah i have a car and i'm i'm sober so i can drive so i'll come and i'll give you lift whatever but that night it's it's like a shimmering memory for me and you guys know i'm notorious for having an awful memory and forgetting things that I myself said in the not too distant past. But that happened literally over a decade ago. And I still remember. I remember what the food, what the foie gras

looked like. It came in this little paper tub served on like a bed of like ruffly lettuce. And it came with this sauce. like i remember the whole scene really vividly it was just this crazy awesome night all thanks to my gut that's nice i will award you some points thank you you're welcome i would like to actually lead off with a different i came up with a different story okay i'm fine with that so i've got i've got the other one still to tell but this one i feel like is just more interesting. I'm down. I've got a couple of working titles for it.

The first title would be Let Me In. The next title. Why are you always so creepy? What happens? Well, this story is kind of, I don't know. The next one is. I don't like it. The Untrustworthy Solicitor is the other working title I've got here.

What is this, aorian horror story i mean kind of am i supposed to pick i'm supposed to pick what no i just those are just the two i came up with i wanted to share both i like i see i see i see i see so i want to preface with like nothing actually crazy ended up happening here but this is definitely a moment where sometimes you you see a person and like there's just you get that immediate gut reaction right that immediate like instinctual judgment of like i can trust this person i can't trust this person yeah like you did with the the clerk so we get solicitors from time to time that go door to door you know sometimes they're selling stuff like it'll be a kid with girl scout cookies or popcorn

or whatever a lot of times it's these um like bug uh people that you know they want to come like oh do you have ants do you have termitesites? Well, we can do this thing. And that was the case in this this part. So this guy knocks on the door and I answer it. And immediately, like whenever I answer, he's smiling. But like there was something about his eyes that I just immediately did not trust him at all. I was like, I will not let this man in my house. I'm going to be like kind of like you said.

It was like I need to be I need to get this guy away as fast as possible. Don't engage in long conversation.'t be too friendly i need him to go away yeah and immediately i found out that wasn't going to be the case he was like hey uh we're doing a house in the neighborhood and uh we want to know if you will have any insect problems do you have this this this or this i was like no and actually we had some stuff done which we did actually we had stuff done like a couple months before so uh, we're good. Thank you and he's like well, uh, what kind of stuff did you have done and uh, Uh, well we had some you know small ants and we got rid of them. We're good. Oh, uh, do you know what stuff they used? No

Well, uh, do you mind if I come in and take a look at what they might have done? No, you cannot come in and take a look and he's like well I can walk around the property Maybe they did some stuff. No. No, that's okay. And he's like well, do you have the receipt? Let me look over the receipt. can see what chemicals they use like he just kept getting more and more personal where it's like yeah can i see what credit card you paid with like it just got really uncomfortable but like the most unsettling part was just like the serial killer expression on his face of like smiling but his eyes were just like i don't know there was something cold and not personable about the eyes when i was trying to talk to it was like, I tried to avoid looking at his face because it was so

unsettling. Just something about the way he smiled. It made me feel super uncomfortable. And then on top of that, the like, let me come case your house. I don't know. And he just would not take no for an answer. So literally like he just wanted to get inside your house one way or another. And I asked him like, what, I forget what the name at this point, I wouldn't say if i remembered but like i was what what company he was with he's like oh so and so it's like oh i've not heard of them do you have like a card no i don't okay so you have no documentation that you work for this company you claim to work for and you really want to see a receipt with my personal information or come look inside my house where this person who's sprayed was not they did not come inside

they just did stuff outside you work for that cup it's weird you're you don't have like a uniform you guys don't have like a cup with the thing like oh it's at the cleaners i got uh stuff on it well he had a shirt with like a logo on it but like you can just go make a shirt like you can literally just do that but i don't know i just the immediate gut reaction of like, I looked him in the eye and it was like, get this man away from your house. And then him proceeding to like try everything he could to get inside was just super uncomfortable. And I'm a very charismatic person. I can handle conversations pretty well.

Good ones, bad ones, uncomfortable ones, whatever. I can handle it. What was he selling? He wanted to do like insect repellent, basically. Yeah, like pesticides. He wanted to like make sure that we didn't get ants or ladybugs or stink bugs or whatever so he wanted to take a look at the house and you know drill some holes in the foundation to put in their anti-bug shit and uh i told him we just had stuff done and he was like did you prove it and it's like i don't have to do that

i'm telling you no leave oh man and then like can i come inside like who's why what in the world do you need to come inside my house for but i don't know i just that interaction has stuck with me because you guys cannot see the face but just imagine like watching a movie and seeing like a hannibal lector type face where it's like he's smiling but like you just feel super unsettled by it that that was the exact feeling and the dude wasn't a big guy he was probably average height uh short black hair but there was just something in his eyes that were like if i let this man in my house he's going to kill me was like my gut was telling me that yeah at best he's gonna get in your house and then bust out his jar of termites and sprinkle it on your carpet and be like oh look at this oh

my goodness you need me or he's going to kill you like it's one or the other really intermissive it felt like he wanted to case the house to see if it was worth robbing us or something but like he was probably legitimately just a bug dude that didn't have the best salesmanship but there was something about his face that said i don't know i could not trust him at all yeah i get that that's that makes sense i think i i would guess too just guessing because that's like my my go-to thing for shutting down people who come to the door because we get that a lot for like solar power yeah landscaping when the window companies around us are really aggressive we get all these random things which by the way i've never dear companies never ever am i sitting in my house like oh we

need windows i wish i didn't have to leave home in order to get them i'll just wait until some guy comes to my door and i'll buy windows from him no no one thinks like that like how how successful could that be but whenever anyone comes no matter what it is like window guys i'm like we just got new windows and they they're like, ah, shucks. And like, you know, the Jehovah's Witness come and I'm like, I already found God. And they're like, oh, okay. I just love it. Like, you couldn't tell I got new windows.

Fuck. Jehovah's Witness. I already found God. Ah, fuck. How could I not? Ah, I'm just fucking stupid. God, that would be so good. I already found God. God damn it, another one damn it another one i mean have a blessed day i'm sure i'm sure those guys are used to that where everyone is just like i already got the thing and they're like oh yeah did you just like all the other neighbors on this block

i don't believe you prove it but also that's weird i just also love the image of like more two mormon guys and the shirts and the ties on your doorstep with the bikes you're like we just want to talk to you about uh you know the church of jesus christ and you're like i already thought i died and went to heaven i figured it out sorry guys fuck throw their bikes down like damn it the last time we recorded the podcast i don't think i told you guys guys this, but I had two guys from a local church show up, and they were giving me a pamphlet and telling me about Jesus, Christ our Lord, and all that stuff. And they're like, you should come to our church. And I was like, guys, I really got to go.

I can't talk about this. I got to go to work because I was getting ready to come down here and record. But being as we were, I don't think we were doing a stream that day, so I was wearing, like, obviously pajamas, like a fucking stained shirt. I had my shorts on my glasses on i look disheveled as hell and i'm like yeah i gotta guys i gotta go to work i gotta be there in like two minutes and they just look like have a good day at work so i was like they don't believe me at all they think i'm lying to them but i really do i gotta go work right now

and that that also stuck with me because i felt guilty that they thought i was lying to them when i in fact was not but i realized the moment I closed the door guilty. Well, I love that. I love the idea that any interaction at door to door salesperson has with me. I'm not trying to be mean to them, but I will love for them to leave being really confused. One of my favorite, like one of the funniest things I've ever seen on Unus Annus. Yeah. When you guys did the sex toys breakfast video

and mark is trying to choke down some scrambled eggs with like a gag thing on his mouth that he's just like and then mark's eyes as he like makes eye contact with the guy outside walking up to the door that's so because you know and you said in the video i think you went and answered it and it was like a delivery or something, and the guy was just like, oh, here you go. Yep. All right, have a good one, and just left.

No, that's... Didn't fucking say anything. It's 100% real. That actually happened. Literally as I'm... I want to know what his gut said about you. His gut said, just deliver the package. You don't need a signature this time.

You don't need... Boy, do I have a story to tell when I get out of there. You don't need a signature this time. Boy, do I have a story to tell when I get home. Don't engage. Don't engage. If they invite you inside, you say no. I'm real busy. I got a meeting to get to. Never again.

Hey, your mail truck might have some problems. Oh, thank you. I'm good. Sure, you don't mean to come in there and look at the four bugs? No, no, no, no, no. You did start off this by saying an hvac person came and i see that there was no one no one spying on you so there's some some relation here yeah that super uncomfortable words i love the idea of just confusing the shit out of those people though it's glorious you said you had another story though wade i've got i've got a couple yeah uh if we're doing titles again i guess this would be called um i'd give an arm

and a leg to be there all right um do you want to do one bob or just me going yeah bob do you have i don't know if i really have another one okay i can just go for now and you can think on it i had an idea but then i got really wrapped up in your story and I kind of forgot it. All right. Go ahead. Go ahead. So this is similar to your first story where this isn't like a direct judgment on like a gut feeling about a person.

This is just a gut feeling in general. I had a friend who was throwing like a I'm going away to college party. He was moving away to go to a college kind of far away and we wouldn't see each other for a while. And I was working late night and at this ice cream place i think everyone knows i worked at united dairy farmers by now so it doesn't really matter united dairy farmers which like uh gas station ice cream convenience store whatever all wrapped into one and i had to work late so i got off i think i got off at like 10 o'clock this particular night drove over his goodbye party had already started people

were already there and i showed up and there were a lot of people there i didn't recognize which was kind of confusing i was like huh because we were pretty good friends so i thought we had like a lot of the same friend group and i was like okay well i know who will be there at least and i showed up and a lot of people i did know were there and a lot of people i didn't know were there but one of the concerning things was that as the night went on i learned more and more about the things that were going on here that i didn't want to be a part of so for instance there were some people there that i don't think were old enough to drink that were definitely drinking um there was another person dropping their pants hitting on my friend's mom which was weird i'm sorry what yep yep and uh i was thinking my brain is like you need to leave you need to leave you

need to leave but my gut said you need to stay if shit goes sideways someone that's not fucked up needs to be here to be responsible and to help you need to stay just suck it up deal with it if worse comes to worse the right thing is to stay and my brain is like god no it's not i'm not going to jail for all this crazy shit happening i don't want to be a part of this uh and then as the night goes on i found out that there was a man in my friend's bedroom giving tattoos giving yep he was just you know you got really high really drunk really whatever you wanted a tattoo just go into the bedroom get it done and there was something going on in the garage i didn't know what was going on in the garage didn't want to know so i just hung out chatted with

people didn't drink didn't do anything i was a pretty i was a goody goody um but i just you know hanging out everyone else was having a great time and i was just there kind of watching over making sure that hopefully things didn't get worse than they already were a couple of my friends snuck out at one point they're like you know what we're gonna go break into the neighborhood pool and we're gonna go skinny dipping and i was like sounds like a terrible idea but i guess it's better than being here with the tattoos and the underage stuff that's happening. So, I have fun with that. A little bit later, we get, I think it was a text. I don't think they came back.

I think it was a text. Hey, need you to clear out the house. Everything's bad. Ambulance on the way. What? Well, it turns out that in order to break into this pool, you had to climb a fence and it was getting late at this point. There was dew on the grass. My friend, I'm not going to say her name. She was wearing like flip flops and she realized climbing this fence and flip flops wasn't going to work.

So she kicked them off and tried to do this barefoot. The top of this fence had, we'll just call them what they are, spikes, basically. of this fence um had uh we'll just call them what they are spikes basically yeah and as she was climbing with uh feet that had stepped in dewy grass over this fence while pretty heavily intoxicated she slipped at the top and impaled her thigh on this fence and she was stuck dangling just by her thigh on the fence oh god oh god so um luckily with her was my friend's mom, who I guess had also intended on going skinny dipping with them, or at least watching over them. But she was a nurse, and she was able to determine like an artery wasn't hit.

She is a nurse. So nurse mom was there. She just stares at the party with the drinking and the tattoos. Her kids come up and are like, we're going to skin it up in the pool. And she's like, oh, that sounds fun. I'll drive you. What? Yeah, well, she was there.

And she was like, okay, well, you didn't hit an artery. We got to get you to a hospital. They're going to have to get you off this fence. hit an artery we got to get you to a hospital they're going to have to get you off this fence so she and other drunk friend um lifted her off of the fence which as you can imagine was not a pleasant fun experience um i offered to come help they said they would let us know they thought they could get her off the fence and get her to the hospital but we had to clear out the house so um uh we started clearing out the house i don't know if i want to say who else was there what i i you didn't say and you don't have to but who texted

you because did this mom text you and be like hey wade it's mrs jorgensen contacted her son can you clear out the party she contacted her son he immediately left to go like he didn't say a word he just left to go help none of us knew what was happening till he got up There and then he texted asked us to clear the house so yeah, I guess yike yeah Also, you remember I told you guys I have that thing about leg injuries and yeah deeply uncomfortable I did not remember that I do remember it turns out the thigh the thigh impalement Close enough really doing having heart palpitations over here that's horrific i'm sorry to not remember that god we're getting older you know uh sometimes i forget yeah

you should do an episode about that oh boy that's a great topic sorry continue continue so i have to go into the bedroom be like hey tattoo guy you're doing great work get out oh great tattoos um hey all you crazy kids that are definitely too young to be here doing what you're doing uh leave and you there were some like um people that were like no i'm not leaving i'm having a good time and i was like tell that to the police when they get here which was a bluff but they were like what and i was like yeah uh so and so got hurt uh ambulance came to get them police are on the way to see what the hell's going on i would get out of here if i were you and that got them moving and then i went to the garage and i was like i don't know what's going on in the garage

but i've got to clear it out too i opened the door and it is just smoke it's just smoke just smoke i can't see a damn thing it's just like the stereotypical like, you know Hot boxing car thing where you can't see in the car because there's so much smoke that was this garage There was so much pot being smoked that the whole garage was just a cloud and i'm like Hey, you guys gotta leave police are on their way and then like all of a sudden i'm just looking into a chest Like what chest like a chest like a box chest no like a man's chest like a man who towered over me and i was six foot three six foot four at the time fully grown and this man i was nipple height my eyes were nipple height and i looked up at this guy this big buff scary giant man and i was like you have to leave and he's like what do you mean i was like uh someone

so got hurt police are on their way he's like oh thanks buddy all right and he was really nice like patted me on the shoulder and just booked it oh thanks pal i have no idea who this giant man was but he was just the owner of that garage and i'm glad that he was friendly after he realized that i was giving him a fair warning i just i'm so confused as this was all at your house, right? No, no, no. This is my friend's house. Oh, okay. But your mom was there.

Not my mom. Whose mom? My friend's house. Whose house it was. It was his parents' house and his mom was there. And his mom was a nurse. They were hosting the party, obviously. She was supervising, I guess.

So it's one of those cool parents. Jeez. Yeah, I guess. So it's one of those cool parents. Jeez. Yeah, I guess. I mean, they were, this was a shock to everyone involved because normally, I mean, he was the only child, sure, and he was a little spoiled, but like they weren't that loose with him generally. Like normally they were pretty buttoned with like, you know, they'll let him get away with so much, but this party was something else.

This was something nobody i don't think expected this to get to where it got um i don't know how it escalated to that point but she was just sitting around chatting like having a couple drinks and i you know i don't know one friend just kept hitting on her which was awkward as hell uh there was the underage thing the tattoos the pot garage the uh earmuffs bob the friend hanging off of a fence there was just all kinds of crazy stuff happening that was not enough warning what do you mean that was plenty of warning nearly enough time uh you can listen now bob the leg hang on bob impalement so we clear out the house and we're like okay well let's get to the hospital let's go see if our friend's okay so So we go to leave.

And I don't know if you want to listen to this detail, Bob. I don't know. Just count to like 10, I guess, if you don't want to hear this. Well, half a listen. Well, driving out, we had to pass the pool and we drove kind of slowly by it. And we could literally see the spoke that bent for being stuck on it. And well, not all of her made it to the hospital because there was definitely some stuff on the spike it was awful it was an awful scene

oh man god so we drove her to the hospital we got there we had to wait a long time and uh i asked the question i was like what are we gonna do about the bent spoke at the pool and they're like oh don't worry so and so's on it he's got a hose and he's gonna try to bend it question, I was like, well, what are we going to do about the bent spoke at the pool? And they're like, oh, don't worry. So-and-so's on it. He's got a hose and he's going to try to bend it back. And I was like, excuse me? Somehow someone got a hose up there and tried to clean it up a bit. They could not bend it back.

And I think it is still bent to this day. Last time I was there, which has been a few years because we moved away a while ago. But yeah, she ended up being okay. Has a pretty nasty scar. But while we were there, I made the joke that she was the only one that was willing to give an arm and a leg to be at the party. And then she laughed and then started crying because it hurt so bad to laugh. That always stuck with me.

But yeah, I stayed. I trusted my gut and stayed. And all hell broke loose. And I was one of the few responsible ones there to help handle things. But my brain knew. My brain knew that everything everything was wrong and it sure as fuck was. All right. You guys ever have a party like that? You've been to where you show up and everything possible illegal is going on.

You're like, man, I need to leave immediately. But your guts like, no, you don't. Because normally it's the opposite, right? No, that whole story was just a series of gut decisions. And I don't know what decisions you really made there. Like, do you think that your presence at that party averted disaster? I had to leave out some details because they're like, they're either giveaway like location or people specifically.

But yeah, there were definitely moments where I steered people away from doing dumb stuff, such as the tattoos uh there were definitely a few people that were like okay you know what i'm gonna go get this right now and it's like you don't want to do that right now with a random man in a bedroom what party had this how yeah this is like the party from a zac efron as a teenager movie like this is the kind of thing that happens where i see it on tv or in a movie and i'm like that never happens in real life yeah i've had a few moments and i especially in my high school career i had a few moments uh between then and early college days where stuff that's not supposed

to be real sure as hell ended up being real um i think i've told you i lived through a drug bust where i woke up to a policeman with a flashlight in my face telling me to get downstairs while they searched our house for drugs because of a lovely family member of mine who I love dearly, who was always very kind to us and definitely didn't plant drugs in our house. Um, just, you know, I've been through some things that I think the average person probably hasn't. And this party was definitely one where it was like, let's go say goodbye to our friend. And it ended up in the ER with just so many questions.

And then I had to explain to my ex at the time why I was like so late getting home. It's like, I went to say goodbye to so and so and so and so ended up on a fence. So I had to go to the hospital. I'll be home later. Yeah, that is quite a story. Yeah, I will give you many points. Wow. After I man, I after we'll talk more about it remind me after we're done i like i don't want to call it specific people but like it was

interesting there was there was a couple of the responsible people there too it wasn't just me there was at least two other people but one of them left early and my god am i glad i wasn't alone but it trying to clear out a bunch of people that are either high drunk both or you know who knows what people you don't know that are in a house like this is terrifying because i'm just expecting to get like stabbed or shot or both like leave the house no and uh that that fear was on my mind but everyone's okay somehow despite that and other stories that i haven't told and may not ever tell that yeah no that is i sometimes forget just like the kind of shit that went on in your high school experience versus mine like mine i just had a very different experience

all together like i had so many friends that were raised by like strict parents that like as high school went on they just went wild and i felt responsible for them like i needed to be there like to be the i always called myself chucky from rugrats i was always the one that's like that's not such a good idea you don't want to do that and then they would inevitably not listen and then I'd have to be there to help clean up the mess and it was really miserable a lot of times being that person but like I felt like if I wasn't there to help I would feel immensely guilty knowing I could have been there to help stop something or to help them get like to a doctor or you know whatever else so I stayed with it and stuck with it despite being

very miserable a lot of the time because I wanted nothing to do with the shit that they got into yeah i feel that i feel that all right well sorry for taking so much time on that story but it was a that's one i think i've held for a while no no no it's good it's good it's good that's crazy yeah that is a little crazy that's a crazy party that's pretty all right sure was and it got worse as the night went on much worse much worse nah more or much better better for the story awful for the moment of being there i don't know do you ever center yourself if you're in an uncomfortable situation you just look around and you're like you look to your left it's like oh god you look straight ahead it's like oh man you look to your right it's like oh fuck and then you know something weird like everywhere i looked there was something else going on there

was tattoos to the left there was my friend's ass trying to hit on my other friend's mom outside there was the what to me were kids doing stupid shit like to the right and then i knew behind me in the garage there was something going on and they didn't know what like and then the defense thing happened just like surrounded by awful and it's like at any given moment you're like feeling like you're in the middle of a powder keg about to explode not gent no no not really i found myself not in that extreme of a situation but in situations like that so many more times than i wish i had grown up it is unusual i would say it's more movie high school experience-esque than you know you might think not a good movie well and i'm curious i guess too i would love to hear responses in the subreddit. Does that happen?

I feel like to me and my life experience, that seems like the not common version of what happens in high school. But is that what kids do? Did I have a lame high school experience where we just played video games and drank Mountain Dew and like didn't get impaled on fences or to get tattoos in my friend's mom's bedroom or whatever? My friend group was also very heavily influenced. We grew up in like the original jackass movies days oh yeah my friends did a lot of things like recording like let's do jackass things like one of them volunteered to be hit by a car at one

point we did that too we like pulled each other on roller skates behind cars and hit each other in the ass with wiffle ball bats but nothing permanently life ending or altering quite so much as it sounds like some of the people were into and then you didn't live no no i guess not 20 bucks my friend let you shoot him with a bb gun one of them volunteered to literally be run over by his own car that's not good uh like 20 miles an hour that seems like an obviously bad decision at the last moment he realized he didn't think he would fit under it So he jumped and then like shattered his own windshield with his body to not go under Yeah, we we had a crew I was not there for those moments

Thankfully those were moments. I was not I would not have let that happen if I was there I would have been like dude. I don't care I will call the police on you if you guys try to run over this person I'm not gonna let you murder them. Huh? I did have a line I let a lot of dumb shit happen because they were my friends and i knew if i wasn't they would just do it without me there so it's like okay well i can stop them this time or this time i can at least talk them down a little bit but there were times i had to cave in and let them do dumb or else i knew they would just do it behind my back and i wouldn't be there to help when things inevitably

went wrong it was an uncomfortable part of the friendship to be in for sure but um do you feel like you got enough out of the friendship to make it all worth it probably not it was more so like we were friends for a long time a lot of us were friends for a long time and then i i saw like the rebelness in them start to go and it's like i couldn't rein it in so they just had to they had to experience it i guess and luckily nobody died which is shocking really that does sound shocking i have a heartwarming trusting your gut story. All right. Good. I don't have any of those.

That's good. That's good. I'm going to call this one. I knew it. Nice. Yeah. Wait, even better. At first sight.

Oh. All right. What about I knew it at first sight? No, that's not good. Okay. All right. Wait, even better. At first sight, I knew it. Oh, I love it. That's the one. That's the one okay all right uh wait even better at first sight i knew it oh i love it

that's the one that's the one all right perfect all right oh this one's not super long but i tend to be a very uh gut listening type person when it comes to decisions uh places that like mandy and i have lived every every place we've lived when we walked in to like see the apartment or see the house or whatever we walked in and within i't know, within the first couple minutes of looking around and getting a sense of the place, it's somewhere inside of me. For all the places we've lived, I was like, yeah, this is the one. And it's not like I just dictated that and I was like, this is it. We're done.

We're not looking. And every case, we looked, like one of the first places we looked at my my gut was like this will be the place this is the right place and then we would look at like half a dozen other apartments or whatever trying to find the right place at the right price and we've only lived in a few places together so far but i have been correct every time and so i tend to listen to my gut for decisions like that and uh in i guess it was in like 2009 and in college again i was living in this house with some buddies and we decided to have a halloween party and we decided to just like invite The whole everybody we knew in the music school. We were like come over bring whoever, you know big halloween party at our house

We're gonna have music and and whatever it should be fun. And it was a cool house It was a cool house with like a there was a kitchen area And then there was like an upstairs area that overlooked the kitchen and there was also like an outside balcony It was like a good hanging out house. It was a kitchen area and then there was like an upstairs area that overlooked the kitchen. And there was also like an outside balcony. It was like a good hanging out house. It was a fun house. And at this party, a lot of people showed up and one particular person showed up. This girl showed up who I had not met before, who was in the music school. And we just happened to have matching costumes. I was dressed as like a 1920s gangster because I had a custom made fedora because of course I did. And I wore a suit and I was a gangster. And this girl showed up and she was dressed as a flapper, which is like, you know, dressed in sort of 20s era, like a feather boa and

just, you know, flapper. Of course, we matched. Basically, we're from the same general time. And I remember I didn't know this person. I'd never talked to her. She walked in and I was like, oh, her costumes match. Oh, wow. And just sort of like thought and looked for a minute and like said hi and then she just went around hanging out at the party with other friends and i remember that night i told my friends i was like i really want to kiss that girl which is a weird thing for me if you know me personally you know i'm super timid in terms of like dating people i didn't really date a lot of people, but this girl showed up at this party and I just had this gut feeling of like, I really, I just feel like I need

to like, I want to get to know this girl. And I did. I like, I hung around all night and tried to like weasel into, you know, weasel into the circle she was in to have conversations and was trying to be flirty. And I didn't end up kissing her that night, but I just had that feeling of like, I gotta, like, I gotta date her or something. I don't know. And it turned out that she, I don't know if she was single at that party. I think she still had like a high school boyfriend. She was, she was a freshman and it was pretty early in the school year.

And then she ended up dating someone else. But it turns out that girl was Mandy and a couple years or almost a year. I don't know. It was almost a year after that initial night where I met her and was like immediately infatuated. We started dating. Yes, I was hoping you would. Yeah. Yeah.

Well, spoilers, I guess. But we're married now. Congratulations. So it kind of worked out. Yeah. Yeah. That's lovely. One of you was there.

I guess it wasn't Wade. All right. Well, that's true. But my gut was right guess it wasn't wade all right well that's true but my gut was right turns out i did want to kiss mandy and also marry her so that was a good one that's a good one and with that we bring this to a close so let me tally up the final points that was a good gut i mean that's like a pretty good gut instinct to follow that's about as good as it can get so i'll give you some good points for that. And nailed it, right? Yeah, you really did nail it.

You nailed it good. So with that being said, I'm looking at the scoreboard. Is there any last minute, you know, sweetenings of the deal that anyone wants to squeak into the judgment round? Door's closing. I think you should trust your gut. You remember the story i told about ruining that gas station bathroom with the world's worst episode of diarrhea i had a gut feeling when i

cooked the dinner that caused that i was like oh this meat's kind of funky it'll be fine if i cook it should have trusted my gut trust your gut people all right that's good consequence can be dire i like that wade my gut says to say no i I've got nothing else to add. It's a coin flip whether that works out or not and according to my points, Wade, you have 10 points. Bob, you have 12.

How many did I get for that last thing? I actually didn't award any for either of them. Well, I won anyway. It was a waste of time. it was a waste of time. Yep, yep. It was a waste of time, but congratulations, Bob.

You have won. Wow. Yeah. Feels good. Yep. I forgot what it was like to win. I know, and that means that this week you won the $100 grand prize

along with the judging of the next round. Wait, there's money prizes? Yeah. Is that like a gift card or something? No, I'm going to Venmo you $100 right now. Oh dollars right now huh i'm gonna do this wait this comes with a money prize yep what second place get nothing okay well one of us just had to pay 15 000 for an hvac but i guess bob deserves a hundred dollars that's fine hey i had to buy a new hvac system at the last place we lived like seven years ago so i'm'm still, that was expensive. Do you want to compare home bills, Bob?

Do you really want to do this? I mean, I do. I know you got, like, a fridge, but... I do because it would make me feel better. Yeah. Well, it feels good to win, you know? You guys really rigged the game last week. I was pretty sure I should have won last week

since I was the only one actually competing. But then there was literally no chance I was going to win, apparently. So that seemed pretty unfair. So this feels like justice, which I love. Good justice. So congratulations. And Wade, I will provide you an opportunity for a

loser speech. I feel like I've given too many of these loser speeches. I don't know what to say, so I got nothing. So thank you for your time. All right. Thank you, everybody, so much for listening. You can check us out every Monday.
