Good evening, gentle listener,
and welcome to Distractable,
a Wood Elf production, and
happy new year.
This week, the first of 2023,

from his joints while fisting a prat
in the Mushroom Kingdom. Double Bubble
Wade fails to define January,
hails booger banquets, and bemoans being screwed.
Mark wants a government warning for Distractable
because it's so criminally funny,
and later admits he doesn't spit.
Yes, it's time for Good Bad Habits.
Now sit back and prepare to be distracted
and enjoy the show. Hey, everybody. Welcome back to Distract be distracted and enjoy the show.
Hey, everybody.
Welcome back to Distractible and Happy New Year.
I'm your host today, Wade.
And this is a podcast where I'm joined by my friends, Mark and Bob.
Hello, boys.
Happy New Year.
Hello.
It's good to be here.
It's great to be here.
Why do you sound like that?
What?
Like what?
This is his 2023 voice.
Oh, I see.
Who knew me? New year!
Oh, we could do an episode
about New Year's resolutions, but I feel like we've
done that, so I've actually got a different idea
for today, but first, how you guys doing?
Anything new? How's life?
Life. I remember life.
Yeah, different now. In the future yes it probably is
i suppose it would be where there's a baby it's in our house we have a baby in our house
it's doing baby stuff technically wasn't there a baby in your house the entire pregnancy too
yeah but he was hiding decency to stay out of sight be quiet i'm sorry i meant
oh that's mark i was like where'd mark go yeah i'm here i'm always here
i really already regret asking but what about you mark uh i mean pretty much working on this
secret big project that no one
well kind of everyone knows that i'm working on but they don't know what it is so i can't really
tell what is it else about it no you know but you don't don't tell wade he'll probably uh
immediately twitter right now yeah unless we're not on twitter anymore maybe we're
hunting ivermastodon or Distract-a-cite.
Sounds like a disease. I'm going to Bing Chow right now. Don't worry about it.
Bing Chow? Is that one?
Yeah, it will be. I mean, it is.
It will be in 2023, of course.
In an entire year from
now, later.
You know what I'm talking about. It's the future.
Yeah, Bing Chow.
Everything's possible. The future is now.
But so many things stay the same, I guess.
Or not. Maybe they're very different.
Hopefully all you guys out there had a good holiday season.
And you're excited to get back into the normalcy of, I guess, January.
It's a weird month.
Because it's like you're kind of getting...
When you're young, it's like going back to school.
When you're old, it's just like life's calmer for a moment but not i don't know it's a weird month yeah yeah man that
was the weirdest description of january i've ever heard that's how weird it is i couldn't even
describe it i've never even thought of january as a weird year it's so weird man it's the pointiest
month it's very orange if you know what that means i can't be
too mean to january because it's when molly was born and it's when tyler was born so i've got to
give it some credit why do you need to be mean to january what did january do to you is it just
because ad rates are lower in january and you're mad about that that's why maybe it's some kind of
subconscious like i'm getting paid less so i on bitter month wow first it's back to school
then it's ad rates go down it's the worst i mean arguably january isn't even the worst back to
school month out of the year there's a worse one in our art oh what what what you know post spring
break post spring break is going back to school after summer break
yeah dude post spring break might be the best back to school because you just got to like
hopefully have a little bit of fun for a week and then you come back and you're like we're almost
out of this bitch let's finish this yeah pretty much well i would argue it's the worst for the
teachers because the kids are all restless and like ready to be out of this bitch, you know?
Oh, yeah, I would imagine that's probably true.
Oh, you're thinking of the teachers.
Yeah, someone has to.
I think of the teachers, my family, a bunch of teachers in it.
We here at Distractible think of the teachers.
Look at these guys thinking of the teachers.
Two of us here at Distractible think of the teachers.
You'll never know which ones.
It's a mystery.
Let us know on the subreddit or on our new Distract-a-site.
I already forgot what I made up.
Bing chow.
Bing boom.
I don't remember what I said.
It's getting slowly more racist, but not there yet uh yeah listen it wasn't it
wasn't a it wasn't a racism thing it was the first two sounds i made okay okay those are
white person sounds what is have you guys seen the john cena thing at this point it's old it's
so old and then he moves no no no it's him talking about an ice cream he's
he's speaking chinese and he's talking about an ice cream and it became this meme because uh for
those that speak chinese they know his accent is atrocious and for those who are like not speaking
chinese he's just holding an ice cream cone and speaking chinese it is just a bizarre and he keeps
there's one phrase in there bing chilling which i believe is the name of the
ice cream or maybe not i don't know but he repeats it many times so just like there's many other uh
tiktoks that i've seen just like memeing on that so you're saying john cena supports bob's new
social media site that's amazing i think so whoa whoa listen that's the conclusion let's talk about
the next thing oh okay yeah get to the next thing already.
Well, I guess I'm fine.
Thanks for asking, everyone.
That's not a part of this recipe.
We don't care how you do it.
If the host wants to talk about themselves, they have every right to, but nobody has to ask.
Okay, that's always been the rule.
Nobody asked me.
Well, I'm asking.
How am I?
Great.
Thanks for asking.
You're welcome.
There you go.
It sounds like you're a little
bitter yeah you sound angry if i'm honest january i can't help it which brings me i guess to a topic
i don't think we've touched on at all and i'm excited to talk about it bad habits but specifically
good bad habits that seems false on the face of it how would you qualify something as a bad habit
if it is in fact good for you i don't make no it how would you qualify something as a bad habit if it is in fact good
for you i don't make no sense because sometimes people qualify something as a bad habit because
on the face it seems like something bad to do but come in reality or to the individual it's
actually something that's either therapeutic or just good for that person or something they enjoy
i don't know something that's not necessarily harmful in any way because a bad habit you think
of something like smoking or it's like bad for you and no one wants to breathe
in the smoke and whatnot whereas in reality there's some things that are bad habits that
actually aren't so bad oh it doesn't have to be like harmful so is it like minimally damaging
habits or things that people think are bad habits that are actually good for you because i don't
even know yeah so like i always heard growing up that cracking your knuckles was bad for them and i i've learned uh in recent years
i don't remember where cracking your knuckles actually doesn't do that much it's just releasing
gas from your joints and like it could be bad but it's not gonna like make you get arthritis
or anything like i feel like people used to say that man how many people listening to this just
crack their knuckles because i just did i did while I was saying it because I thought about it.
I've never really done it and I don't really like the thought of it.
It weirds me out.
Oh, interesting.
I love it.
Though I crack and pop my shoulders all the time.
Mark, can you do the self crack where you just like make a fist and crack your knuckles
by moving your turning your hand a certain way?
Or is that just me?
I can't do that.
Because I usually crack with one hand cracking the knuckles of the other hand,
but I can also just like...
You form a fist, and then you turn your wrist and your knuckles crack?
It might be because I played football and my hands got stepped on a lot,
but if I make a fist where it's like, I hold tension on the front and the back of my fingers,
but then close my fist and sort of turn my wrist in. I don't know how to describe it.
Turn my wrist, you know, like I'm getting a cramp on my forearm or something.
I can make all my knuckles on my hand except my thumb crack just by doing that.
I can't even fathom that.
I can only do it on my right hand.
So maybe that's not a thing that's supposed to happen, but it's very satisfying.
All right.
I can't do it.
And I'm sure there are some people out there like he's crazy.
And some people are like, ha ha, I can do the thing. I'm sure there are some people out there like he's crazy and some people are like haha i can do the thing i'm special hands-free crackers where you
at wait a minute hey hang on knuckle crackers hands-free uncle crackers where you at is that
like candy uncle uncle crackers is that like his healthier cousin god we can only hope so uncle
salty and uncle sweet uncle us and uncle cracker the guy is like follow me
Everything is all right
No, that's his song by uncle cracker. It's a song. It's a song everybody
Uncle cracker isn't he the guy from king of Queens follow me on the album double wide from the year 2000 by artist uncle
cracker american singer i mean i know that song but i don't think i've ever seen or heard this
man's name ever before in my life this feels like one of those this feels like one of those things
where we jumped realities and suddenly we're in a world where this person exists haven't you ever seen alakaboom starring shack
you know that classic movie where where shack becomes a genie alakaboom shack is the genie
it's sinbad who's not i mean where sinbad becomes a genie see this is the reality where the shack
one does exist not like the other reality where sinbad's the one. But in this reality where is it or is it not called Alakaboom.
Alakaboom.
It's absolutely Alakaboom.
Okay.
All right.
I got to look up some stuff, guys.
That's an actual genie.
Is it Kazam Shazam?
No, it's Alakaboom.
It's Shaquille O'Neal starring as the genie in Wahoo.
I love that movie. man the video game great too
as long as shakira is still around we're good that's all that matters this is the universe
where uh movie titles are all read in mario's voice but mario's voice is actually chris pratt
just saying darkly to the camera let's get to the mushroom kingdom have you guys seen this with the mario the mario
movie stuff and it's just chris pratt is mario i mean i knew he was doing that but i've not
heard or seen any of it that's very wrong but that's not what we're talking about it really is
i i do it sometimes in my streams mushroom kingdom here we come that's it they'll literally do a side by side of those that's it's like i'm
chris pratt right now i'm glad somebody else is obsessed with that as i am i'm sure the whole
internet is except for wade because wade's yeah wade's not into cool stuff like uncle cracker and
mario how much worse and or better would it be if chrisatt tried to do an Italian accent. I mean, I'd watch Chris Pratt do a fake Mario accent.
But the real question I have about all of this is, why not Charles Martinet?
Martinet?
No, no.
Getting a voice actor?
He's not dead, is he?
Did he die and I missed it?
He did not die, actually.
Okay, so it turns out you could have had the actual voice of Mario to play the actual character
of Mario.
Hmm.
Weird.
No.
What's experience does he have?
There's no way that he could be the level.
I guess he's kind of an unknown.
Think about it.
A relative unknown quantity.
Can't rely on him for anything.
Yeah.
Can't even pronounce his name.
Charles Martin.
Martinette.
Martin.
Not in that movie.
More like.
God. O like. God.
Oof.
Anyway, Uncle Cracker, Cracking Knuckles, other stuff I said, I made a point.
I win the game.
That brings us to our sponsor, the Mario movie.
That was a joke.
They don't like this.
Unless they do.
Unless.
Are you okay, man?
You can't cover
all the bases all the time.
You can't stretch your legs and get on
a toe on every one of them. I'm like Mr.
Fantastic as John
or John
Kronkawanka
as Mr. Fantastic.
Cover another base, man. Cover another base.
How do I cover that one?
Help. I don't know. you're the judge you're in
charge is it krasinski how do you pronounce his last name krasinski the guy from the office
john krasinski yeah is that right that's him krasinski spelled like it sounds with a bunch
of extra consonants in it because it's yeah well he was mr fantastic in that movie for like a minute
to tease everyone the spoilers i guess but it's been out for a while so probably no one cares at
this point i don't know what movie you're talking about i have to be honest all right well never mind i
guess it is still moving on oh bad habits do you think our podcast is a bad habit getting
distracted and getting off topic is that a bad habit i think by the number of car accidents
and personal injuries that are reported on the subreddit it certainly could be please do not
listen to this podcast in a place that you can hurt yourself please well i mean it's pretty common
for people to listen to podcasts and drive we i don't think we can stop people from doing what
pull over the road before you listen to this podcast it's so damn funny you're gonna die
we need we need segment alerts as well as you're editing this together if something stands out as
pretty funny put in a little thing that's just like content warning do do do do pull over your
car before you listen to this the hilarity levels at an 8.5 in the next five minutes beware god
that'd be a really high opinion of ourselves if we started putting it. The next segment is an 8.3 on the Andy Richter scale.
Oh, God, I made the voice come back.
Yeah.
If we put all of our listeners in a stadium,
do you think we could break the record for loudness from the laughter?
Oh, man.
Well, it'd go quiet soon after from the death.
Yeah.
Jesus. the laughter oh man well it'd go quiet soon after from the death yeah jesus caused the the single greatest human catastrophe in history yes you thought it was the bubonic plague no it was
distractible that ended humanity the last time i thought of the bubonic plague i have no idea when
that was so i don't think it was that's what it was called in the 1800s there was yes what i'm
saying is i'm not thinking of that all the time when i think of mass casualty incidents oh it's
not where my brain goes to you catch a new story like oh geez that's a tragedy well it's not the
bubonic plague though weird comparison but you know you're right i guess that was probably worse
than whatever just happened.
I guess.
Look at it that way.
That's messed up.
Gentle listeners, let us know.
Are we a bad habit?
I feel like we probably are.
Our podcast is a bad habit.
But bad habits can also be good for you.
Segway.
Well, you have to stick the...
You can't just say Segway and then you're there.
What do you mean?
He Segwayed. We're Segwayed. And Wade. He say Segway and then you're there. What do you mean? He Segwayed.
We're Segwayed.
And Wade.
He declared Segway.
There shall be no debate.
I will give you all an example here before we start discussing, I suppose.
One example of a bad habit, which I don't know if this is really a habit,
but on this list, I'm looking at realbuzz.com, an article.
That sounds fake.
By the Red Buzz buzz team that sounds fake
swearing is apparently oh it's real real buzz it says real it's like swearing is real like
yeah like like me when i was a kid and i asked my mom permission to swear and she's like yeah
go for it i was like i got two of them so that's okay and i went crap this sucks because i thought
crap and sucks were curse words and And my mom just laughed at me.
I was very frustrated.
I was very frustrated that moment.
And I let it out.
And my mom just laughed at me, which made me even more angry.
Crap, this sucks.
I remember in Die Hard when he was crawling through the vents and he smoked a cigar and was like, crap, this sucks.
I was like, oh, yeah.
So badass.
Oh, my God.
You're going down, poo head.
Yippee-ki-yay!
Monkey fricker.
Have you seen the censored version of snakes on a plane?
No.
Like the plane-friendly, you know, edit down where they don't say so much about motherfucking snakes on this motherfucking plane it's literally like that i'm trying to these monkey freaking snakes on this
mother loving plane it's literally like that oh my god samuel swears like an angel
that's what the good habit of swearing is swears like an angel i want there to be a cbs sitcom
called swears like an angel oh man i would watch that show that's great so you started this with
a premise this is a bad habit swearing apparently swearing is a bad habit according to this
particular list why is that but then good for you i could i might be able to answer but if you have
a declarative go for it Take a stab at it.
Don't save him.
I want to hear...
Can you go next, Mark?
I'm just curious what Wade has.
Yeah, sure, okay.
But what if he's got what I'm thinking?
So wait, you want me to give the real answer
before Mark guesses?
That seems awfully out of order.
Well, the real answer,
you're reading an article
that could essentially be written by an AI.
It's called Real Buzz.
It's real.
Sure, okay.
Yeah, everyone who's real
constantly goes around calling themselves real all the time. And it's written by the Real Buzz. It's real. Sure. Okay. Yeah, everyone who's real constantly goes around calling themselves real
all the time. And it's written by the Real Buzz
team. Like, all of them worked on it. All
of Real Buzz. And I'm Real
Bob giving you a real question.
Okay. Okay, well,
I guess Mark... I'll sit in the corner.
You're the host. You're the host.
I guess you get to decide. You were kind of letting me
host there for a minute, but... It's a new year
and you were being very direct, and I respect that, so I'm gonna get to decide. You were kind of letting me host there for a minute. It's a new year and you were being very direct and I respect that.
So I'm going to go for it.
I guess no cheatsies, no cheatsies, Mark.
But once I tell this, you have to give me what you thought.
Plug your ears, Mark.
Plug your ears.
Earmuffs.
All right.
According to a study by the University of East Anglia, swearing at work, specifically
in this example, could help employees cope with stress and maintain solidarity.
Meanwhile, researchers at Keele University School of Psychology found that swearing can provide an effective short-term relief from pain,
but should be reserved for crises only.
Like, you shouldn't just be swearing all the time.
I guess the more you swear, the less pain relief you get, so it should be used sporadically.
So, according to the Real Buzz team here, referencing whoever I said, swearing can be helpful for i guess just i
guess it's the same as like when you talk to somebody you just let something out you get it
off your chest that's what they're saying here but specifically certain swear words have that
same effect it seems like mark on earmuffs what's your guess i was listening the whole time what was
it was literally the pain killing thing there's a a phenomenon. Oh, copycat. You cheated. I cheated. I cheated.
Take points away, I guess.
If only you'd given your answer first.
Minus two points for not being proactive, Mark.
Somehow it's fair.
Do I get those points since I made that happen?
You know what?
Two points to Bob for not being proactive.
This is all very fair.
Very fair. It's a very fair. Very fair.
Yeah.
New year, new rule.
There's something about cursing that it's like there's specific channels in the brain
that when you curse and you access these quote forbidden words, it does have kind of like
a pain suppressing effect.
It's very strange.
I'm going to try it.
Right now?
No, no.
Dookie.
Oh, I feel so much better.
It took a dookie. I feel so much better. Are a dookie i feel so much better are you in pain
right now are you okay i was no i'm good i guess i believe that but that's that's a
some of the time okay i just don't know if i buy it i don't know how do you feel about fidgeting
do you think fidgeting is a bad habit being like. No. And I actually do have some. I guess I'm not allowed.
I don't know.
Okay, Mark.
Wait your turn here.
I'm talking to Bob, my contestant.
Shut up, Mark.
He's trying to jump in and steal all the answers from the competitors.
You're right.
What was I thinking?
Oh, man.
I'll just sit on the couch.
Can I just say, this is not directly related.
I'm having kind of a brain
wave have we done this episode before is this a repeat i we're literally here doing it right now
so i don't think so no i remember that and i'm here still consciously but like did we talk about
bad habits like in relation to something else or just because you've done a repeat episode doesn't
mean we're all going to bob well i'm glad that you brought that up you know how proud i am of that i do my research before
hosting and i can guarantee you we've never done an episode like this oh god i'm waiting i would
i'm waiting i think i'm tyler rather we've done it before but i'm not allowed to say
you know mark as host i give you permission to speak freely. I don't. He gave you permission
and as host, I have to give you permission as well. I don't know if either. Are those,
what's true here? I'm going to abstain and I'll be quiet. Excellent. All right. Well, fidgeting.
Historically, I feel like fidgeting was seen as a bad habit, whether or not it still is,
I can't say for sure, but that does seem like something we'd be scolded for whenever we were
in school, right? Like fidgeting around, not attention i have to say i think it's a feud by everyone except the
fidgeter as like an annoyance and that's why it gets the bad habit moniker and like i'm a really
fidgety person but it's in time i've also had the experience of someone else doing a fidget
something where it was making like a clicking noise or they were hitting something or whatever and i've been like god stop oh so like i think that's kind of where it comes from
you're supposed to be a good little boy and sit still but that's really hard for some people i
fidget like crazy i'm pretty sure the reason that this particular article says that fidgeting isn't
bad is going to be vastly different than why mark thinks it's not bad i don't know i wasn't expecting
the answer i just read.
Mark, what's your reason?
Do I actually get to say it?
You do.
I'm giving you a platform here as Bob's co-host, apparently.
So I read an article about this a little bit ago
that was talking about fidgeting
outside of any kind of psychological ramifications, whatever.
Literally the physical act of fidgeting throughout the day,
like just you're bouncing your leg,
you're up and walking around,
you're kind of moving around your seat it burns a lot of calories uh there's kind of
never mind you're going to be right in line with the articles that's where it went to yes yes yes
it's it's actually like because it adds up throughout the day and because you're moving
larger muscle groups with either walking around or you're bouncing your leg or you're kind of
like moving and moving your torso you're like using your midsection what's it called muscular area torso trunk trunk the trunk your trunk
dick is minor not that no trunk you're moving that around you can burn i forgot the exact
numbers but it was surprising like if you fidgeted day, you could burn anywhere from like 400 to like 800
additional calories every day just because you're moving. You're just moving all day. It's kind of
similar to the principle of if you're chewing gum all day, it's not going to be as many calories.
It's going to be like 100 calories or something like that throughout the day. But because you're
doing it throughout the entire day, even moving a small muscle group like your jaws is going to
have an effect. Those muscles take energy to move
and fidgeting is like that to an extreme. Imagine if you were just like kind of lightly walking all
day and you took a certain amount of steps. That's the equivalent. How many points do I get?
Go ahead, Bob. What you got? I just got to say it doesn't work for me. I literally am currently
bouncing both legs and fidgeting with a little fidgety double screw thing where
it screws both ways.
You know, those things.
I don't, but I'm fascinated.
It's one of those double threaded screws where you can have a nut that turns one way and
then a nut that turns the other way and they both go on the same screw.
It's like a 3D printed thing.
I mean, it's cool.
It's fidgety.
Sounds pretty cool.
Sounds like a college party i don't
that doesn't doesn't lose me any weight just gonna say that right now in my singular experience
no effect i mean it's not about losing weight it just burns extra calories throughout the day it's
it's not going to be like any more if you were standing all day if you literally never sat all
day it would probably burn more calories than that but it's like the small compounding effect
i and again i don't know the exact numbers but an extra like 500 calories a day
won't really cause dramatic weight loss this says research suggests that fidgeting can burn up to
350 extra calories a day per this they don't list what research but that's what they say in this
particular article and the entire real buzz team apparently wrote it so i i'm taking them at their
word here entire teamire team. Wow.
That's vetted.
I was looking for the author of the article and it says the Real Buzz team.
Yeah.
Like it's like you could exercise and you could run for like five miles a day.
As long as you don't change your eating habits, nothing will happen.
But it's like just just the fact that you're moving is fascinating.
It is kind of like that thing.
It's like, oh, it makes sense.
Here's one that's an interesting.
I've got an interesting combo one.
A bad habit that is both bad and apparently has some value that I would have never expected.
Picking your nose.
Huh?
Love picking my nose.
Good.
Good habit.
Love it.
Great.
Well, apparently the good part of it is for those that then nom their removed snot.
They eat their boogers?
Does it give you superpowers?
They're called nose nuggets.
I don't think it's specifically eating your boogers that does this,
but apparently, this is a different website.
This is, oh God, I'm going to pronounce this wrong.
Balls All Common?
Balls All Common?
B-A-L-S-A-L-L?
Ah, the reputed scientific research website balls all common well so they
say in the article that according to a recent study published in the journal applied and
environmental microbiology snot has properties that are effective in protecting the teeth from
cavity causing bacteria so not necessarily eating your boogers but like sinus drainage if you have
like snot mixed in with your saliva which i guess most people do but another way to get more of that
into your mouth on your teeth is to well eat your boogers i guess okay all right mucus contains
salivary mucins have protective properties on the teeth so however there's another article i found
go ahead bob i've been saying this for years.
You know, the only thing that can strengthen your body is your body itself.
That's why I never wash my hands.
That's why I pick and eat my boogers.
It's all good things.
Nothing should leave, really.
All the waste that your body tries to get rid of, it's full of good stuff.
Just throwing it down the drain is such a shame.
Such a waste of resources this was written by dr davenport who is a dentist sounds like a professional wrestler dr dr davenport tonight we've got crazy kevin versus dr davenport oh
he's got like a monocle and he's like i don't know why he's a monocle
you know he does no he's got a monocle yeah yeah you can see it i see on the flip side though
your nose like you know do get a lot of bacteria and bad things so while the some properties of
mucus and snot might be good for your teeth i would not say picking your nose eating your snot's probably that good for you because it does have a lot of uh bacteria and
other things that are not so good that you're also taking from your filter of your nose and
just putting directly into your body which is kind of removing the point no but see i regard it as
as torturing my enemies because if you breathe in the some of the stuff that your nose catches
that's bad you don't want that in your lungs.
Your lungs are mucous membranes.
They're vulnerable.
But when you pull it out of there, you ensure that you can't accidentally breathe it in
if it gets loose.
And then you eat it.
It's completely obliterated as it goes into your mouth.
The saliva starts to degrade it.
You swallow, it goes into your stomach, and it just dies a horrible Terminator-esque death
in the stomach acid of
your bowels and it has no effect on your body because that sort of whatever bacteria and stuff
is not designed to live in that environment your stomach is the executioner of your enemies
well while it i guess is bad it can also be good and according to susanna elliot kistler from uh
what's the website wexnerner Medical, Ohio State University.
That's a real thing.
I don't know if it holds a candle to balls, alls on the walls university.
All balls are the same dot com edu.
Well, I mean, this one talks about the pros and cons,
but ultimately they say that, you know, whether or not you're eating your boogers,
you kind of are already doing it because according to i missed there's an auto mentioned somewhere i
don't know where auto is mentioned we make about a quart of mucus a day and most of it we swallow
anyway man i don't get to say anything what do you mean mark is wrong that's the most important
thing right now i was waiting for like all right he he's gonna open it
up to the audience eventually i'm ready i got my fun fact all right mark i'm gonna open it to the
audience what you got did you know you produce about a quart of mucus a day well well well
sorry mark but what you're saying i'm remixing but what you're saying if it is instead And you swallow the vast majority of it. Oh, God.
Sorry, Mark.
But what you're saying, I'm remixing,
but what you're saying is instead before I swallow it,
I snort it all down and then swish it around my mouth
so my teeth get a nice coating of it and then swallow it.
Wait, if you snort it, isn't that putting it in your lungs?
You don't want to snort it.
No, I'm not snorting.
No, no, if you do that like,
like you're trying to make the loogie sound yeah it goes into the back of your throat oh i thought like you had a straw and some snot
on a petri dish okay i got you i'm not taking it out of your nose i'm taking
yes welcome to dr davenport's health today we have a very ripe 2014 Markiplier sample that you're welcome to snort.
We can dry that and powder it for you, or you can take it wet.
It's really your choice.
You can take it wet.
Gamer guy powdered snot.
Oh, no.
Gamer guy mucus toothpaste, baby.
There's got to be a market for that, right? There is sure but i don't want there's got to be some wordplay with slime and smile and it's in there
somewhere that's a slim idea right there smile lime it's smile you know we produce about a quart
of mucus every day yeah yeah i heard that somewhere you know
so what do you guys think you're gonna start brushing your teeth with them sweet bugs uh
i basically already do man i'm way ahead of the game on this one and when you say it like that
to be fair i don't even know what's in toothpaste maybe we already are i mean have you you can look
at the ingredients why is this such a mystery that sounds like way too much effort for someone like me there's no way to know for sure what's in things mark dude if you just
put a list of reasonable sounding things on those ingredient lists that doesn't mean nothing you
know what's going to blow your mind i'm sure we've talked about this before but anyone out there if
you go to the toothpaste style and you look at the ingredients in one toothpaste then close your eyes
let yourself wander to a random different toothpaste box and then look at the ingredients in one toothpaste. Then close your eyes, let yourself wander to a random different toothpaste box,
and then look at that ingredients.
It doesn't matter how far away you go.
They will be the same ingredients.
Almost every single toothpaste on that entire aisle
is the exact same ingredients in the exact same order.
It's just packaged differently to give you the illusion of choice.
Very true.
But they taste different, therefore they gotta be different.
They don't even really taste different they they taste different in the type of flavoring the
different brands doesn't matter that much but some of them are one of them is like spicy and one of
them is like good if you get what i mean i don't they got like the the wintergreen minty effect
versus like the other kind of minty effect one of one of the kinds of mint that they have is too
spicy i don't know how else to describe it but the the good kind is the not spicy not enough boog not
enough boog yeah anyway uh no i don't i don't think i'm inclined enough to believe that's enough
of a good habit to start eating my snot which we all do already every day you just suppose to it
because you think it's gross? Yeah.
I also have like an aversion to sticking anything up my nose
because I feel like my fingers are incredibly dirty.
I'm not worried about the bacteria in my nose.
I'm worried about introducing bacteria into what is probably a vulnerable area.
I think that's the biggest concern, right?
Yeah.
Dirty fingies.
Yeah, you're introducing things.
If you stick your fingers up your nose.
You're introducing bacteria and dirt.
What if you just blow your nose into a cup or something?
You know, save it up for...
What if you just have a jar of
muke just keeping the
old fridge? I hate this.
You said it!
You said it! I know.
But I'm allowed to hate what I say.
I'm the host.
An old cup of muke.
There's muke shine.
Guest over like, oh, what is that?
Like, is that some old pickles or something?
Did you just leave it in there?
Like, nah, I use that every day.
It's my saved personal mucus.
You want to try it?
It's pretty sweet.
Surprisingly sweet.
I don't know why, but I have to say all of this is reminding me of a thing I saw yesterday.
It's pretty much unrelated.
But did you know that horseshoe crab venom, those little crabs that look kind of like
weird prehistoric shell monsters, horseshoe crab blood is a key ingredient in a lot of
vaccine manufacturing processes?
I did not know that.
Oh.
I saw a picture online of this setup where it was easily like a
couple dozen horseshoe crabs like in a lab all set up the same way so they're they're sort of leaned
up against the thing so they're facing forward but that's up towards the ceiling and they all had ivs
coming out of their backsides and there was someone it was a like a company harvesting
horseshoe crab blood for making vaccines and the
the caption was uh this is a group of horseshoe crabs having their blood harvested for uh by
whatever company most horseshoe crabs survive this procedure and are released back into the wild
so you're telling me my bad habit of drinking the blood of horseshoe crabs is actually a good habit
it's probably what makes you so superhuman yeah oh thank you are horseshoe
crabs the inspiration for like the xenomorph face huggers it certainly could be uh very they're very
creepy if you take away the shell and you extend the legs they're kind of similar if i saw one of
those things in the wild and i didn't already know what it was i would be very concerned yeah i do
think probably in a way but if you also look closely at the xenomorph thing
it's two hands more than it's a crab it's true it is like hands yeah with like two ball sacks
yeah the ball sacks are also concerning but yes it's like it's hands which is also what i i do
love about the styling of the monsters in those movies because all of them have human traits that are somehow worked
into the the form of it which is just creepy very creepy that's an element of like monster design
and like creature design that i feel like adds an element of extra creepiness to me if you can
pick something out that looks human or even that just looks like familiar is like way grosser to
me somehow really really makes my skin crawl and i appreciate that that
is exactly what they want to have happen and it's good it's good it's good it's it's good it's good
it's weird that horseshoe crabs are modeled after human hands yep probably god was like ah we need
a we need a hand crab why do you have to make crotch crabs too we need a we need a penis clam we'll call it a gooey duck i'll never understand how
this happened all right moving on how many points for penis clam oh man you get a solid two points
for penis clam all right how many for whatever i did oh let's see i gave bob five just now bringing
him to seven i'll you know what I'll give you seven
I'll bring you to eight
you all can figure out why
just do the math everyone
I hope you're keeping up at home
I feel like you just said numbers and my brain was like
where any of that come from
that was definitely earned over the last 20 minutes
trust me I'm the host
do you guys have any other ideas of bad habits uh that you think might
actually be good that are listed as bad habits before i read more oh it's our turn right it's
your turn the floor is yours isn't there a thing where jerking it is actually good for you because
it coincides with lower rates of prostate cancer you You know, that's not on this list, but I do believe
I have heard that. I thought it was good for you
because if you don't use it, you lose it.
And so it prevents you from losing it.
Losing what? It.
Your dick? The whole, yeah, and
the whole thing. You know, your
dick prostate chain, as
they say in the biz, you know.
So if you don't beat it,
you lose it. I mean, that's less catchy, but yeah, that's effectively the idea. If you don't beat it you lose it i mean that's less catchy but yeah
that's effectively the idea if you don't beat it you eat it no if you um beat it was really a tough
one to go with on the rhyming front sure was i got treat it lead it delete it uh retreat it so
why didn't you say any of those in your rhyming scheme? Seems like you got them. Well, not everything I can say could be solid gold, okay?
I gotta have a couple dumpies once in a while.
I'm afraid to curse after talking about cursing.
I don't know what happened to me.
Now I'm afraid to say the word shit and stuff.
What happened?
I don't know.
Oh, God.
I'm forming bad habits.
I'm not cursing.
Not cursing enough.
You know, I think that would qualify, Mark.
I think masturbation is something that people have a stigma against.
Like, oh, it's bad to do.
You shouldn't do it.
But there are...
I've definitely heard medically that it can be good for you mentally and physically, I think.
I could do research and look this up, but I'm just going to go with...
I was trying to do some research about it, but it's just like...
I wonder about the studies, if they can find that many people.
How long-term are these studies that they say these things?
You know what I mean?
Like, who's...
I've been beating it my whole life
and I'm 17 years into my profession.
Not 17 years old.
Hold on.
I've got 17 prostates.
I'm so healthy.
Yeah, I gotta get rid of them.
17 years into my research.
I've been beating it three times a day
for 17 years.
And let me tell you, still alone.
Still lonely.
My God, do I have endurance.
God, last time my doctor checked my prostate, he swore to heaven he'd never seen one like it.
He actually ended up losing to my prostate in an arm wrestling match.
Didn't even have to reach it. It had grown so
large it was popping out the back.
Got an externally
checkable prostate. It's enormous.
That's good for prostates, right?
Big. Does that guy have a tail?
No. That's his prostate.
That's his prostate.
Oh god, I hate this.
I hate this episode. I hate everything.
You must eat his mucs.
You must have a huge muke jar.
He's just stacked up, got it all going on.
I don't know the last time we had an episode this gross
since maybe the very first one.
Hair.
If I forfeit, will it end it early?
Forfeit?
That's an extra two points, Mark.
Oh, no.
Congratulations. Oh no. Congratulations.
Oh, we have to keep going. You gotta give me more points now.
That's right. Alright. You know what? I'm gonna
tie it up at ten just because you said that. We gotta
keep going, guys. It's never over.
I guess back to our list. Unless
Bob, you have one? I'm really trying to think.
I think I just have bad habits.
Is not sleeping good
for you inability to sleep actually grants you ability to travel through time forward at regular
speed you know i don't see it on this particular list which by the real buzz team i'm pretty sure
is pretty exhaustive even if they didn't have masturbation on here uh but they do have day
dreaming which is when you're daydreaming, you're not sleeping. I dream when I accidentally fall asleep during the daytime.
Is that daydreaming?
For the sake of keeping this going, yes.
Well, I think we all know I don't actually dream because of my aphantasia.
I'll take points on a lie.
Lying.
Lying's a good habit that's bad or vice versa.
What's the one bad habit that's good?
Lying gets me all kinds of good stuff.
You know, while daydreaming is on the list, it's weird.
Lying isn't, but gossiping is also on this list as being a bad habit that's good.
That's basically lying.
It can be.
Not really.
Come on.
I don't know.
Is gossiping like the purest form of truth where you're just being like vindictively
truthful behind someone's back?
The purest form of truth that mankind knows
i think it is that's like a like a line from the the mean girls musical gossip is the purest form
of truth one of the highlight songs that the mean girls sing is called the purest form of truth and
it's about how gossiping and being catty behind girls backs is actually the most honest thing you
can do with your life it was a musical i've never seen it is it a musical do they sing yeah tina fey and then
i don't know who else but tina fey worked with people and made it into a music yes i thought
mean girls was like a 90s film mean girls was written by tina fey and she plays one of the
teachers in the movie oh yeah and it did not star tina fey but it featured her as the teacher in the
science class or no the math class uh she's one of the teachers and it was her she wrote it it's
her thing and so she made it also into a musical it's pretty successful i had no idea that's really
cool musical in the 2000s or something or 2010 uh anyway the purest form of truth i love that
it's a good song a classic song yeah classic. But that line goes so hard in this context, which is not where it should be going that
hard in gossiping.
I don't know.
In what way do you think gossiping is good before I divulge the answer to our quiz?
How else is someone going to know that they're a fat bitch?
I can't say that to their face.
That's messed up.
But if you gossip it, did they then they learn the
truth did you hear the purest truth what have we done today that's right kids gossip is good
and oh god don't do that masturbate eat your snot and gossip everyone oh man don't forget your morning nukes and your whatever else not again i don't want to
talk about that anymore that's not oh god i'm sorry why why would you be sorry this uh this
is art all right you both have the floor anything before i divulge the answer on this according to
team buzz i forget what the question is why gossiping actually is a good thing is that where we're on still yeah
i 100 honestly can't imagine a reason that gossiping is not a bad habit it teaches you
how to keep secrets better i don't know i don't know there must be some social reason that people
love gossip there must be something about that because not
everyone does but everyone usually loves a juicy secret right i don't know why i i don't know what
purpose it would serve other than it's kind of entertainment because everyone loves a story
and it's like real stories i guess i i don't know you're close you're close so the way this is
worded is let morally this might not be good but apparently for you it might be
not only does listening to gossip according to team buzz here uh help to learn more about the
character of those around us bonding and having a laugh with your peers also releases feel-good
hormones which help to relieve stress and anxiety so uh while you're bonding with your fellow
bullies and assholes you're also relieving some stress and anxiety so good for you this answer
is absolutely 100 team buzz telling on themselves they're all the the bitchy gossip people and
they're sitting there they're like oh gossiping's gotta be good for you i love gossip it makes me
feel so good happy it releases endorphins it releases endorphins. It releases endorphins. There we go.
And plus you learn the purest form of truth about the people around you.
The purest form of truth.
The purest form of truth.
Wow.
The purest form of truth.
Because gossip is always true.
Everyone knows that.
I wouldn't gossip about it if it wasn't true.
Morally, I feel like we're not on a high ground right now but at least we have some anxiety relieving hormones
coming on god do i feel better yay for us this will this will traumatize trish for the rest of
her life but i feel so much better and just to go back to daydreaming since i brought it up do you
guys have any ideas why daydreaming would be good for you oh i forgot about the daydreaming thing
i feel like i mentioned it so i had to give the response i fuel your imagination i don't know life is a
monotonous endless struggle so you can always imagine something cool happening yeah that's
basically what i was thinking there's nothing wrong with a little escapism it gives you the
ability to imagine where you could go what you might do especially if you don't like what's
currently going on that seems like a positive way to cope with stuff.
That makes sense. According to Team Buzz, researchers at the University of British Columbia
found that letting your mind wander can actually help boost your problem-solving abilities.
When participants' minds wandered, parts of their brain associated with problem-solving
became more active than when focused on routine tasks.
So apparently daydreaming can also help you sort through other things that
you're dealing with in life or just boost problem solving in general because i guess you're working
through things in your mind that's where they went with it but yeah i guess there's a lot of
different positives i never thought of daydreaming as a bad habit i guess they're equivocating it to
zoning out like if you're zoning out in class or something or at work yeah i mean daydreaming in
the context of like ignoring the people that you're currently with and daydreaming exclusively.
I yeah, that's a bad habit because it leaves you out of stuff.
You don't learn if you're in school.
You don't contribute if you're like at work or you know, whatever.
It's more annoying.
I think for the other people if someone who's just zoned out on them, but it's fun.
Yeah, it depends on the context of when you're daydreaming.
I think yeah, if you're doing it when you're supposed to be doing something else.
Sure, but like just daydreaming in general,
I don't think it's a bad thing.
It's really just letting your mind,
as they said, wander.
What are a couple of bad habits
that you don't think have any redeeming qualities?
Do you have the worst habits?
Just absolute awful habits.
What are actual purely bad habits
that you guys can think of?
Like, I don't feel strongly about this one,
but I used to do it.
I feel like a lot of young boys do this sort of
especially if you're in the right context i can't imagine there's anything redemptive about spitting
spitting okay when i was a kid i played baseball and there's a lot of you know spitting in baseball
because that's like you see that on tv and whatever baseballese do spit a lot but like also
just in general in life if we were like
hanging out outside I would just kind of
like you know be like ah
cool right? I'm cool. That was
cool. And like I don't know what I thought about that
but that's kind of just gross.
And some people don't understand the context of
spitting. I've been around adult
humans where it's like we're standing in line
or you know we're in closed space
or something but we're outside. And for some reason that's an appropriate place for them to spit when we're
within you know four feet of each other just waiting for something it's like yeah i get we're
outside but you understand spitting just sprays little tiny droplets in like every direction and
if you hawk a loog that's way grosser and i'm close enough to like hear all of the hawking and
then all of the luging.
It's just, like, a gross habit.
I don't think there's a benefit, but I haven't found anything yet, but that doesn't mean it's not.
Have you ever known anyone who does, like, chewing tobacco, and they have, like, the little spit can they carry around?
Oh, that's so gross.
It's disgusting.
I remember seeing, like, someone's spit can, and I started to, like, grab it one time.
They're like, no, no, no, don't touch that.
And I remember, like, looking.
I made the mistake of looking in.
Oh, God. It's so awfully disgusting yeah i don't know why there would be anything good about spitting unless you've got gunk in your mouth like dirt like you just swallow the mouthful of sand
and you got to get it out somehow otherwise what's the point you're not getting any of the muke
benefits you're not like getting your teeth clean you're ruining everything actually just throw away that sweet muke yeah you have another habit you think's
just purely bad mark bob's got spitting what do you got i mean probably screaming at full volume
in the middle of a crowded area as soon as you get to the moment and place where the most people
could hear you that's probably a bad habit that is oddly specific i'm just saying this i don't think
how often do you have to do that for it to be something you habitually do i mean every time
you're in the perfectly resonant place in the mall you know when you're in that spot in disneyland
where you can hear your echo perfectly on a date at that nice silent like fancy restaurant you get
to your table you sit down They give you the menu.
And you just start bellowing out a primal roar.
I keep telling them they can't seat me in the center.
Put me against a wall.
Ah, man.
When I'm in Fogo, you know when I have to walk through the center.
I just back for a quick, brief moment.
But I got to tell you, losing your temper is actually on this list which i think is oh i'm
not angry no it's it's almost joyous in what mark's describing yeah exactly i've never heard
of that as a bad habit i will say mark this is not exactly the same but i'm going to give you
credit and associate this with yours people who and then this isn't really a personal judgment
because i've known a lot of singers and musical type people, but people who sing in full voice, like full blast singing, especially people who are singers who can sing and project very loudly and with a lot of resonance.
Doing that in a public place and especially in like a restaurant or somewhere where it's not a big public place
i don't understand that it's hard for me to say it's bad but like that is just obnoxious and i've
known people who do that and it's like i get that you're maybe it feels good and it makes you excited
or you just need to sing because it's how you feel but there's like 30 other people here and
that's really fucking loud yeah and like it's not really a habit among like
common habit among all people necessarily but i've been around people who do that there's one
specific moment or i was in college and i was with a group of uh fellows from the fraternity i was in
who was a music fraternity so they were all musicians we were in a steak and shake which
is not a big restaurant and it's all like tile and stuff. It's very echoey. And they, two of the guys kept singing
this specific thing over and over
because it had a really cool harmony.
It had a half-step thing in it that was very,
you know, tense and it was a cool musical thing.
They sang it easily like a dozen times
while we were just sitting at a table in a restaurant
and everyone around us was like,
what the fuck are those guys doing?
Why do they keep doing that?
I'm just trying, my kids are trying to eat.
It's very annoying.
It's like 1030 at night.
I would say that's very similar to what you're saying, Mark.
And I don't care why you would do that.
And that seems like a bad habit to me
because as good as it makes you feel,
it's just loud and annoying
and potentially very upsetting
for anyone who's sensitive to loud sounds
or children who get afraid of things.
Like it's annoying.
It's a bad habit.
I like that, Mark.
It's not quite the same,
but whenever I'm out and about,
I tend to just be loud.
I'm a loud talker,
and Molly's always like,
why are you being so loud?
And, like, to me,
I don't even realize I'm doing it.
I just end up broadcasting very loudly
to where, like, everyone can hear me.
So I feel like I'm somewhat that guy.
I mean, I haven't noticed it that much,
and usually, like,
I do notice when there's a difference,
so maybe sometimes. There was this time I'm gonna, like, I'm't noticed it that much. And usually, like, I do notice when there's a difference. So maybe sometimes.
There was this time I'm going to, like, I'm not calling Tyler out here.
Oh, we're calling Tyler out, everybody.
No, no, no, no, no.
This is gossip.
This is good.
It's a good thing.
Oh, okay.
This is behind Tyler's back, everybody.
The purest form of truth.
The purest form of truth.
Tyler.
No, it's like, we go see movies sometimes.
I mean, you guys have gone to the movies with Tyler, I'm sure, at some point.
But this last time that we went there, it was not a crowded theater or anything.
There was maybe like six, seven other pairs of people there or whatever.
And we were watching the previews, right?
And as soon as the previews ended, every single time, he would look at me and, you know,
you usually chat about it.
Oh, that looks good.
Full volume.
He went, I'd see that one.
Yeah, I think I'm going to go see that one yeah i think i'm gonna go see that one and i'm like
i didn't say anything at the time but it was just like it was very out of character i'm like
yeah i guess at least it's previews i thought you were gonna say during the movie he was just like
i like that scene what a good scene i'd watch this one again Can you rewind it in the booth?
Just turn it back.
Are you guys critical movie watchers?
When you watch a movie, are you like pretty critical of it after you watch it?
Or just like a typical enjoy it?
Or are you like...
God, no.
I'll talk about it.
I'm not going to be like super critical.
I like things, so I don't do that.
Watching a movie, any movie, if you go to the theater with both tyler and jesse when the movie
ends you're like that was pretty good and immediately if they didn't like anything about
it they immediately start just like ripping it from scene one to the end they're like i thought
it was pretty stupid when this happened they could have done this better i didn't like i remember
seeing uh i think it was either the force awake it was one of the star wars movies which to be
fair there was a lot to be critical of in those but i remember we got out i was just like that was all right and like immediately those two became
like the most prominent film critics i'd ever encountered in my life and it was not just that
movie but like for some reason when they are paired together if you i we should do it as science we
should take them to see a movie and just see if it happens any movie i kind of want to do that now
can we set up a social experiment i mean this is gossip they're never gonna know yeah they'll never know this ever no
it's it's it's not a thing i like i sometimes with tyler i'll notice that but i guess there's got to
be something about the pairing of both of them because i know jesse's kind of like yes generally
negative on things and tyler has strong opinions gossip tryler has like strong opinions which i
appreciate they're not always bad.
They're not like always good.
There's just very strong opinion and he sticks by those.
Jesse kind of-
Kind of like, I don't know.
I just haven't hung out with him in a while,
but it does seem very indicative that the two of them together would be kind of this like hate tornado of like picking everything apart
and they'd feed on each other.
It's like a strong opinion comes out from one.
They both just start spinning until the burning flame of tornadoes in full force i
could never do that every time a movie ends and in the theater and everyone starts rambling and
whatever and mandy has pretty strong opinions too and we usually talk about how the movie was or
whatever she'll just start talking like we're standing up getting our coats started to leave
and she'll just be like oh i don't know and you know start criticizing things totally fairly and i but i always act like everyone who was in the movie
and had a hand in making it is watching us and she'll be like you know i don't i didn't like
this i thought they messed it up what did you think i'll be like i don't know what i was gonna
i don't want to insult anybody i'm like afraid to talk about it in the movie but we get in the car
and i'm like oh yeah that sucked i was very disappointed i don't know what that is but i could never in the theater
i could never do that and i have no idea why i'm the perfect audience for a movie i think because
there's been like three movies i've ever watched where i've actually like been unhappy and not
enjoyed it i am very easy to please so people are really critical about something it's like
wasn't it fun didn't you enjoy it and it like the way i don't know when people are super critical it just
seems like they were miserable throughout like they were getting their a root canal or something
in the theater while you were just sitting there like enjoying your popcorn like oh that was cool
i like that call back like oh god i can't believe they did a call back those heartless soulless
bastards i'm i'm pretty like that too i'll sit through a whole movie and then on the drive home
or the next day,
I'll think about it.
I'm like, wow,
I really didn't like that.
Yeah.
But the whole time I watched it,
I was like, all right, all right.
Separately, they're each fine.
But for some reason combined
at a movie theater,
I want to do a test.
I want us all five
to go to a movie at some point
and just afterwards
see what happens.
We should do a test
where you try slowly
moving them further apart
by one seat.
Add people to the group every time.
Everyone sits between them.
So see how far apart they could get
before it dies down
on the critique tornado.
So there's six people between them
and like after the movie,
we're all just like,
yeah, it's pretty good.
And they're like,
God, that sucked.
Yeah, I thought that was
the worst thing ever.
Like it goes up
the farther apart they are.
If they're actually in the same seat, they love it.
They really love the movie.
They actually, they do the Steven Universe thing
and they morph into one combined being.
I've never watched that show, but I've heard that that happens.
I feel like I'm probably being too harsh.
At least this is just gossip, though, and they'll never get back to them yeah it's good for us I feel great
I love gossip
my anxiety releasing
hormone?
hormones oh they feel
so much better
I've been masturbating the whole time
for my prostate benefit and
stress relief this has been great for me.
I installed my muke straw.
My mouth has never been cleaner or slimier.
Oh, good.
You know a neti pot?
I kind of modified it so it goes in one nostril, out the other, and into my mouth.
Then I just pull the trigger on my neti spray bottle,
and I get such a clean feeling in my whole face.
I get my mouth mucs on.
I get my sinuses nice and sprayed out
and probably no microorganisms in my brain.
You think that's good?
I get one of those like Glade plugins
and I fill it with mucus instead.
So that way all the rooms in my house
get that sweet mucs.
Oh, wonderful.
Wonderful.
Yeah, no know you've used
neti pot mark I saw that I did
did you guys read about how if you don't
use distilled water and your thing isn't perfectly
clean you can get microbes in your brain
from water oh you remember in the episode
where we went
they're in my brain
that's the one I probably learned that from
you I don't even remember
did you know mark that thing you taught us?
That made me, that single-handedly made the decision for me.
Because I've always been like, oh, you know what?
I get that.
Neti pot looks unpleasant, but I understand why that would feel good.
I totally get that when you're really congested.
But then I learned about the amoebas and I was like, I'll just be sick.
That's fine.
I'll just have allergies.
I'm good.
Or you could just buy some
distilled water i don't think that's that hard to come by is it yeah but you put the thing on
your nose if you don't like sanitize the neti pot there could be mebas on it oh i see well no
solving that it's never gonna be sanitized don't do it you'll die just pick your nose and eat it
gentlemen or just enjoy that sweet natural drainage yeah but you don't get the full flavor
experience with that well all good things must come to an end.
Our gossiping, our good bad habits,
they have to come to a close,
and I guess I gotta announce a winner.
Fucking swearing.
Let me look at the...
Oh, shit.
All right, well, it looks like we have a winner.
Mark, you flat out just destroyed Bob in this one.
Wait, wait, wait.
Before we decide anything for finals,
Mark, what I mentioned that I thought this was maybe a repeat topic.
You said you knew something.
Did you know something about this?
Did you have something, Mark?
Which one?
I'm just curious.
Repeat topic?
That I thought we had done an episode where we talked about bad habits,
and you seemed to actually know if that was true or not or something.
I'm just curious.
I mean, the topic of discussion of
eating boogers gossiping and masturbation i don't think it's come up in an episode prior
one of those definitely has but i meant more broadly bad habits bad habits
if we had it wouldn't matter this is good good bad habits. Uh-huh. It's, you know, technically kind of different.
Very different.
I'm going to look up...
Oh, I thought you were you.
I could have done research.
I didn't mean to make you think.
I'm looking up bad habits.
I'm looking up...
Ah.
Nope, not a thing.
Nope, not a thing at all.
Oh, God.
I see nothing.
Wait a minute.
I didn't even know that.
This is from...
A unique episode called... From nose-picking is a unique episode nose picking oh no no no no this
is very different this is good bad habit mark what have you what have you discovered oh god
good bad habits wow episode that definitely wasn't done exactly oh wow i didn't oh wow yeah on january 17th of 2022 just after the fresh new year
who hosted this one wait a minute that's the real question
no no no no no no i'm listening to it it's wade no it's not it's wade hosting that episode
this is very different This is good bad habits.
Wow.
Good bad habits.
It's actually Wade.
It's actually Wade.
Oh, God.
It's happened again.
Wow.
I assumed it would have at least been one of us that hosted it.
No.
No, that's a shocker.
That's shocking.
The description says we specifically talk about picking your nose. What a boss that hosted it. No, no, that's a shocker. That's shocking.
And you're so, so the description says we specifically talk about picking your nose.
Literally from nose picking to cigarette smoking as 2022, the guys discussed their worst habits.
That's not what we did today.
We talked about good bad habits.
Your whole thing was to get us to talk about our own bad habits that we thought might be good.
You were just giving us examples.
No, no, that was just the ending bit.
The ending bit.
Oh.
I referred to Team Buzz most of the time.
Uh-huh.
Uh-huh.
This is a very different episode.
It's not the same.
Uh-huh.
Interesting.
Interesting. Guys, we're getting older.
It's getting harder and harder to remember what we've done.
We really are starting to get older, Wade.
God, is 2023 going to be my year to be Bob?
Who do I get to be in this year?
Am I Mark?
Me.
Good luck.
Terrible luck.
I don't want that.
Wait, do I have to be me again?
You be me.
No, you can be Tyler.
Yeah, you be Tyler.
I'll be me from Go.
Go me will be me from Dist. And go me will be me from distractible.
What a switch.
Wait, are you going to get possessed by the spirits of our Discord or something?
Oh my god, I will.
Man, they're going to be up in arms about this one.
There's going to be a lot of jacuzzi's flying after this.
Guys, 2022 was a long year for me.
Please be understanding.
Be kind to me on the subreddit.
Remember, we're on the same team, subreddit remember we're on the same team subreddit we're on the same team you and i i don't think that's true then i don't think the subreddit's on our side they're on my side specifically well as of
this episode on the new year you have like the most wins proportionally so you're in the lead
and therefore they don't like you oh no no no they really have been on wade's side they really have i usually deserve it i don't
think the person who actively and overtly tries to lose deserves pity for having lost the most
episodes gotta be i have tried very hard to win and been screwed so many times subreddit list
them off prove bob wrong uh-huh and then someone lists all the times wade asked to lose points or
lose the episode outright i gotta let y'all know i've been taking notes during this episode and
then i deleted a bunch because we didn't i have like a little bit that we didn't get to right at
time so all i have written down on the score sheet right now is bob 13 mark 13 spitting
that's my notes wow you really you really kept detailed track of everything we talked about
huh i'm surprised you had time to contribute to the conversation oh no anyway now that mark has
pointed out that hilarious piece of information good job mark thank you do i get some points
what's the score now wade yeah who does that earn points for oh mark had won but if i'm the new bob and bob's the new me
oh then i can only pity me and give the win to bob oh uh it seems fair right i
that's pretty out of character if we're honest i think everyone on the subreddit knows i only
choose mark to win episodes yeah but it's a new year a new you i don't want to win take my points all right i will now you're tied shirt is stupid
my dogs are fine thanks for asking oh god what no be careful bob that's the most dangerous phrase
you could utter let's see in a bubble please uh but i'm you now i don't know which one of you
wants to win you know i'm just gonna leave it up you guys i accept your initial verdict i'm not i
won't give you a hard time you're already me it's bad enough
what was my initial yeah what was this initial i win because you did all right bob wins oh you
took pity on me as you the re-initial verdict bob wins me took pity on you which means i win
yes i pity the fool and i am the fool so i pity the me therefore bob wins i'm so fair right
i don't know what's going on here check your prostates everyone
i know you're from a world where nothing is competitive and you just talk casually about
sports but uh this is a real this is a real competition over here welcome to distractible
this is the dog eat dog kind of show will make me sound ferocious

and uh remember to spay and neuter your pets newer remember to spay and neuter your pets
kids get newer pets get newer bits check the mileage on your pets, kids. Get newer pets. Get newer pets.
Check the mileage on your pets.
Maybe it's time to upgrade.
Mark, loser speech.
I cannot tell whether this is fair or unfair.
Therefore, I can't protest or know anything at all.
I'm going to go eat a spoonful of peanut butter.
My God, you really are the Go Markiplier if you don't know anything at all.
Isn't that your whole shtick?
It is it.
Wow, we've done it.
We've come full circle.
But hey, you know what?
According to this study that Mark found,
that's good for us.
Or maybe he didn't find it.
According to this information,
Mark asserted about masturbation.
That's good.
So, yay.
What?
Thank you for trusting my assertions about masturbation.
I wish I could give you another win for that.
You know what?
One point next episode, Mark.
We're going to forget about it
and someone will be angry.
But one extra point.
You're welcome. Thank you.
All right. Thank you everyone out there listening.
