Good evening, gentle listeners or watchers, and welcome to Distractable. This episode, Brutal Bob likes murderous comedy, explains Dallor, then asks the ultimate culinary query. Morlin Mark reports on SCP and DCP, tells secrets of tallow, then F-bombs. Weirwolf Wade goes dogging at night, and draws 5-0 to his door, pansyre's sandwiches,

and loves meat. From podcast memberberries to killing grandma. Ha ha ha ha ha ha. It's time for grilled or fried. Now sit back and prepare to be distracted

and enjoy the show. Welcome back to another episode of Distractable. The podcast that John Lithgow once heard some random strange. Andrew in public laughing about as they walked past him. John Lithgow. John Lithgow's heard laughter that we made. Is that a true story?

It's got to be true at this point, right? He gets around. He's out there. He's near people. And people listen to us. He allegedly gets around. Listen to us not. I'm sure John Lithgow goes lots of places.

Oh, that way. Okay. Anyway, welcome back to other episode, Distractal. I'm your host, because I can't stop winning. My name is Bob and I am joined by my two competitors for today slash co-hosts if they're able to win this episode. Mark and Wade. I'm the other one. I'm standing.

Ooh, I'm not going to do that. I know I join you oftentimes, but I'm still nursing my foot, although it is mostly better. Now it's just an excuse to be lazy. If you've ever seen the show before, I'm the host, I'm going to give points. The winner host the next one. That's pretty much the only rule that matters because we can't remember. the rest of them. There's a whole list of rules and they're very complicated and interesting and funny sometimes, but we don't. There's a Google Doc somewhere that has the original

write-up, I think. We don't have to worry about that, though. We don't actually use that. It would be way back there. Oh, look at all these ad reads. Oh, good. Are you looking for, like, the original document we made that was like the script, the opening script thing? Yeah. Yeah. Oh, boy. The thing we use never and then proceeded to ignore for the rest of time. Yeah. Oh, I got it. It's right here.

Wait, is this? What the fuck? What are we digging up in your Google Drive? It's weird because it's like a transcript of, okay, here's what it says. Hello and welcome to distractible. Here we discuss anything that interests us and compete to see who can bring the most captivating stories to the table. Whoever brings the most interesting story as judged by me will be declared the winner of the podcast and we'll earn the right to host next week's episode and play. the role of judge, which is basically what we're saying.

Then after that, it says, in accordance with my incredible nigh on unbelievable, absolute crushing victory on last week's podcast, I am the host for today and will judge the worthiness of my fellow podcasts or stories. I'm joined by Bob Meiskin, capitalized, and Wade Barnes, capitalized. Each title would be made up by the judge that week. Oh, is this brainstorming? I will now a lot exactly one minute for small talk.

How are you guys doing? We still have one minute for small talk? Wow. But then immediately after says, don't need a hard, fast limit for small talk, just need to keep a brief, but allow us to banter a bit before we start, maybe air some grievances. Time's up. Per international, distractible standards, stories will be judged primarily on the content of said stories.

However, bonus points may be a word for things like creative titles, originality, how much I like that person bribery, how much I like that person's bribe, and pretty much whatever I feel like because I am the judge. This theme for this week is road trips. Wow. Well, no wonder, we only had a minute for small talk. The intro takes 20 minutes. Oh, the titles! I forgot about the titles. my gosh, we used to put titles on our stories.

Oh, yeah. Wade, you apparently had the blood is darkest just before the dawn, and I apparently had scientists have discovered X-rays coming from Uranus, and that was, wow. Good, good times. Good times. There's a lot of ideas here, too. Yeah, we used to tell a lot more personal stories. Then we realized we only had, like, 50 stories, and after 10 episodes, we were pretty

used up. Is that transportation? No. What episode is that? Camping? I don't know. I have no idea. It might just be examples we came up when we were actually brainstorming.

That's crazy, man. There's an actual transcript that for some reason I have of the Anything Goes episode episode 60. No idea why. Just a straight up transcript? It looks like a transcript. It's got Baltimore in the beginning. It's got me saying host.

You responding. It's got us delineated by our usernames. We actually had a plan for this show at one point. That's weird. Five years ago on this podcast. was the first time we talked about how Wade is the King of Meat. I can't believe that. That was then the first 20 episodes of the show.

That's still a very quoted thing. I meet people. I meet people that like, it's an honor to meet the king of meat. And I'm like, y'all, I eat a bit less than I used to. You don't, though. We were at a steakhouse this past weekend. I stopped whenever everyone else did. You looked so disappointed when the last guy at the table turned his over and you were like,

I did say I would stop when everyone was done. So. I did stop. Dramatically, maybe. If a guy had walked in with peccata on a sword, you would have immediately been like, nah, I'm gonna eat some more and... Well, you know, it's Schrodinger's peccania.

We'll never know, because it never came in. Oh yeah, pecania. Did I say picata? That's food. Picata. Piccata pecania. Top sirloin is... Chicken picata.

We're gonna have it delivered right now. What a historical moment. Historical in that it's old, not in that it is important or meaningful, but historical in the context of us. Do we have any recordings of the versions of the show we did that we ended up not using the concepts? Do we record those or do we just like fuck around a lot? I can't even.

We recorded them because Hair was originally one of the ones we didn't know that would make it. And then Hair, we like, ah, we like that. Let's go with that. That's why Hair is the first episode. It was like the 15th of 10th, but it was the one we were the first one we were like, yeah, that seems like a good, good one. I don't know. It would be, I mean, we record everything.

went up, but we did streams of kind of testments? No, we didn't. We had to because some of the stories, I think, were taken from those episodes and saved. Yeah, we rehash some of them, I think. Wasn't your Russian Bathhouse story, one of the ones that was originally? I think that was. I think you're right. Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah, that's true. That's a good story.

Ah, good time. Well, anyway, that's all old news. Everything's better now, more streamlined, more well-defined, honed to a razor's edge of pure murderous comedy. Just like everybody likes. Yay. Well, I'll allow as much time for small talk as we want. How are you guys doing this week?

Oh, pretty good. I don't know, Mark, do you have something? I got something. I don't know if you got something. I was talking about the ancient history, so you go next. Or first. Bob and I were both at a wedding this week, and Bob officiate it went really well. You did a great job.

Thanks. Molly and I had to come home. Her surgery, as of the recording of this, is like two days from now. And she has to take, like, protein shakes at certain increments or something before the surgery. So she didn't take a protein shake. And we did a little bit of house cleaning because her mom's coming to stay with us to look after her after her surgery. And then I hopped on war dogs. And I was like, yeah, I'm going to play some more war dogs.

And I had a great time. Played until, like, 2 in the morning, 2.30 in the morning. I was like, oh, man, I better get ready for bed. Shut down my office, turn off the lights, head upstairs, get ready to get into bed. and I hear like voices, kind of like quiet voices, but hear voices as I'm getting into bed. And then we have a camera. So I looked at our camera. And there are three people and a dog walking around our house.

And I'm like, that's a weird occurrence at 3.30 now in the morning. What is happening? Why are there? They have flashlights. Oh, they're wearing police vests. I've seen this movie once before. Am I living through another drug bust? Am I getting swatted?

What? What is happening? So I crawl out of bed. I go and I'm looking at the camera, trying to see if I can make out what they're saying. I really can't. So I look up a non-emergency police hotline. So I crawl on the, I'm sitting on the stairs, like, humble on the stairs. And I call the non-emergency police hotline.

I'm like, hello. Yeah, I'm calling. There's people outside my house. They have a dog. They have police vests. Is something happening? And they're like, sir, what's your address? Oh, I live, I give my address.

Hmm, well, you called the city of Cincinnati. What you need is... He told me the specific thing I need to call, and they transferred me. And then I was on the call, wouldn't they call? They're like... Yeah, so this guy called, there's people in his yard. He's worried about it or something. This is for you.

You guys can handle it. I was like, I can hear you guys. I'm right here. Yeah, yeah. Is he on the line? Yeah, I'm here. What can we do for you? I just want to know.

Here's my address. There are people. Yeah, it's not for you. don't worry about it. Oh. Okay. That doesn't be like enough explanation at all. So yeah, I eventually found out what it was about.

I'm going to keep it a little bit more brief because I don't want to docks myself, but it was very strange. It was very strange waking up and, not waking up, but like trying to get ready for bed. Were you in any amount of danger with whatever they were looking? Or was it just, they were just looking for something? There was a, there was a thing they were looking for. We were fine. But like, they approached the house at a time when I had just shut off all the lights,

which had to have looked suss as hell at three in the morning for them to be like, all right, we're going to go see if there's anything light out, light out, light out, light out. Hmm, interesting. And they did like full loops around the house. Like they walked right up to our door and stuff. Like I really thought, I really thought something was happening to us, but thankfully not.

I don't like that. I wouldn't, I would not have enjoyed that very much at all. Yeah, because there was just a guy wearing like a big like orange, like he was not camouflaged in any way, shape, or form. It was very much I'm standing out and I'm the person who holds the dog. And then there were like two police officers trailing behind with flashlights. So they were they were tracking something someone. Thankfully it was not us.

It just very strange and the timing of me literally going upstairs and shutting off the lights. Then all of a sudden out from outside the window is like, hold on, that's not the wind. Right? What is that? It might have been. You got that talking wind. I've had that before. Look, any game I've ever played the guards are always like,

Must have been the wind. Well, I get it. I used to be a wind like them until I took an arrow to the ass. You played different games than me. You got different suggestions coming up. Waits Steam Libraries, 90% porn parodies of real video games. Yeah. I play the new Steam games.

I've been behind the times for so long. I was like, you know what? The new up-and-coming Steam games are the ones I should play. He was lying. He didn't get on Ward dogs. He got on Raw Dogs. different experience entirely where we dropping boys

I feel like these jokes I've heard I've heard these jokes somewhere before we may have rehearsed this just before we clicked record rehearsed is a strong we may have discussed this and then hit record Wade was testing some stuff out anyway that's more

that's not the kind of small talk I was gonna I was expecting that's weird I'm glad that you didn't end up getting shot or going to jail that's good same me too yeah that would have been a real bummer But in such circumstances, there is a non-emergency hotline you can call to get information, and they may judge you for calling, but they will give you some info. I do feel like that's obvious to me, but that's an important.

Yeah, that's an important thing to know. You should probably look up what the non-emergency lines are for like emergency services in your area. It's good to have police, fire department stuff. I think it's a second or third time I've had to call before because we thought we had a gas leak one time when we called, and then I had people acting strange. Valuable info because when you have people with a dog circling your house is not the moment. You want to be on Google and be like, oh, that's the next town over. Fuck down. Non-emerglings. I can't type. Guam. He says an Eddie.

Yeah, it was an interesting wedding night. Mazel Toff. Mark, how's your talk? The world of SCP is in turmoil. For those of you don't know, SCP stands for secure, contain, protect. The SCP Wiki has been a repository. of numerous stories, horror and otherwise that I have talked about at length, Blade Games of that are about that and people know of before the backrooms occurred.

It was the SEP Foundation from the very beginning. And there is apparently a movie being made about the SEP Foundation that was initially brought up by a company called V-H-S, which I'm not familiar with too much of their stuff. It was founded in 2012, and it's like a found footage horror anthology film, and then there's a franchise that's about it. It's complicated because they've had numerous releases that are all under the VHS moniker. And so VHS SCP is apparently the next thing that they're going to be making, and 824 has recently announced that they're going to be also involved in either the distribution or the production thereof. However, neither of these organizations and no one involved in the production thereof has contacted the SCP Foundation or anyone on the SCP Wiki or any of the authors behind the original works. For those I don't know, SCP Foundation material is protected by the Creative Commons Attribution Share-A-like license, which means it allows for the production of derivative works, whether commercially or otherwise, subject to certain restrictions.

The share-like aspect means that creators of derivative works are obligated to release those works under the Creative Commons attribution share-like license, CCB-Y-S-A-3.0 or later. Many fans have created to adaptations the original product by utilizing the rights granted by our license, including unofficial SCPs, cartoons, dramatic readings, and more. A-24 Spooky Pictures and other involved companies would be able to legally distribute the film to theater, streaming online, provided they release it under the ACCBYSA. three-border license or later, which means they would not be prevented to distribute it with any DRM or any effective technology that would prevent it from being copied. They would not be able to establish any sort of

exclusivity with respect to distribution, just as anyone who follows a license can redistribute and create division works based on the SEB Foundation articles on their wiki. Anyone will be able to do the same with their film. For example, you could take their film, then re-edit it, or just upload it in its entirety to your YouTube channel. and they cannot do anything about it. There will be any commercial streaming service would require the movie be free to stream. Because if they don't do any of this, they lose the license to it. They lose the ability to make anything.

So if they, they as these production companies, guaranteed, we'll try, would try to put some protections on it. And they won't be able to and would therefore lose the license and therefore would not be able to make the material about the assessment. B Foundation. So what you're trying to say is, it's our movie, Comrade. Yes, exactly. As soon as it gets out, it would be everyone's movie to make and redistribute as they need so long as it's under the same license. That's the whole thing about it.

Is there any discussion about this that they're trying to go or not follow those rules or anything? Or is it just the obvious fear that because clearly these companies are producing this movie in an effort to make money, as is the way that they function, then they will clearly probably seek out the RM stuff and try and treat it like it's copyrighted work, even though that's not how that license works. Yes, exactly. That would be the tricky part of it.

824, they want to sit down with A24, spooky pictures and VHS and other parties, to discuss options how they could make and distribute the film while complying with the license, but they haven't. They haven't reached out to anybody. They haven't reached out to them. They have no idea what they're planning to do with it, but given that this is traditional movie companies that don't have any usual methods to not do it in this way, there is no guarantee that they would ever honor it.

And they're probably, maybe, counting on the fact that the SEP Foundation is not exactly wealthy and therefore they wouldn't have the legal means to fight it. You said a lot of things and I got the gist of it. I kept thinking of the Guardians of the Galaxy, Kurt Russell, Peter Quill's mom moment where she's like, I don't know what you're saying, but I lack the way you say it. A lot of acritive VHS, DRM, MSRP, you know. That's it. That's it. It's the same way as like with the backrooms, right?

So the backrooms was not created under this license. The backrooms, the original creator, who the fuck knows who that is? Tim Backroom. Tim Backroom. What they did was they created a copyright around Kane Parsons interpretation of the backrooms. And therefore that's what they were going for. This does not apply in this scenario. They would not be able to create a separate copyright for anything that they would make about the SCP.

It has to be under the Creative Commons Attribution Chair-like license. Has to be. It'll be fun to see what happens when this comes out. It will be interesting, but everyone just be prepared to help defend the SCP Wiki because if they did manage to convince some, I don't know, legal organization to fight and create a copyright, they could then in turn, turn around and try to take down the SCP Wiki or something. That's probably sensationalizing a little bit, but I could see it. It happened with the backrooms when they were trying to, like, suddenly they were trying to take down other people's projects, maybe inadvertently or it was part of the, you know, just the automated system. But, you know, they tried it, and there was backlash about it, and they had to sue it.

But it cannot be assumed that they have the goodwill of the people in mind when they're doing this sort of stuff. So there has to be some kind of guardrails and people ready to defend it, I think. Yeah, well, and as a complete outsider, but as a person who hit a very loose general way, understands how businesses work, I'm not even sure that the production companies and people who are going to try and sell this movie and want to make money off of it have existing mechanisms that they could release it under that would follow and satisfy the Creative Commons license, right? Movie production companies, and generally that process is relatively locked in. They have procedures, they all have strict rights that they require to like that,

company holds, that's part of the agreement or they're not going to produce the movie. Like, again, knowing none of the actual internal details of this, I just find it hard to believe that they're going to comply with the Creative Commons license fully or, you know, in a way that will satisfy, which just means like this is an inevitable crash. And I hope that some legal support like nonprofit or, you know, some law firm will do some pro bono work or do something on contact. Like, I hope that there are legal professionals who are ready to help because it's insanely expensive.

If you look into any of the, like individual YouTubers have given a lot of info about when they've had to deal with lawsuits, especially around like copyright stuff or other issues. It's insanely expensive. And I would be shocked if the SCP Wiki or like whatever entity has remotely enough money to put up a meaningful fight at all if a big company decided they were going to try and take this copyright. They're just going to do what they're going to do to make money. So this is all theoretical, but also it feels like that's an unavoidable outcome of what's happening based on what you're describing, which is crazy. Yeah. It's one of the reasons to think you could be like,

oh, they'll do something differently. It's like, no, not necessarily because the inherent mechanisms to get movies out to theaters require you to send to most theaters a DCP, which is a digital Cinema package. And that inherently has DRM in it because it's usually tied with a key delivery message, a KDM that is tied to the specific projectors at the theater it's being played at. Inherently using the distribution method that movies are in America at least done with would violate the terms of the license. Therefore, they couldn't do that.

They could send an MP4 to the theaters and say, hey, here, put this on your projectors. They could send an MOV, you know. I don't think they could send a DCP. I don't think they could. Pull out your 2004 iPod and you can watch this movie, pretty much. Yeah. Can you guys do a USB 2.0 flash drive? Does that work? Can I just plug that in the projector or how does that? Yeah. No, I'm sure that'll be fine. I'm sure that there are no huge blowups coming from that. We could find out what's going on. We could disguise ourselves as someone named like Speckless Spin. and go into the movie production, try to see what's going on, and see if we can get their Legos, or see if we can figure out where the license is.

You should do that. I'd watch that. I don't have the hair. I feel like you have to have a good amount of hair for that. They sell wigs. I bet we can hook you up with a great wakemaker. A lot of Legos are bald. You mean SCPs?

I thought you said Legos. You said Lego. That was a mispeak. I was parodying the Reckless Ben Lego thing. Remember, you know, here's what's going on with reckless bin. Like, my entire feet was like 50 different. Yeah. Yeah, so I was like, we just need that to happen for the SCP Foundation.

I just latched on to the Lego. As one does. They latch on to you if you step on them. Anyway, just wanted to raise awareness for this so people could know. And this statement was put up at the SCP Foundation, like it would be last week as of this recording, which would have been about maybe a week and a half ago when people see this. So lawyers out there watching this, get your bono pills ready because we're going to need you to get it up for the SCP Foundation. Well, that's interesting.

Not the good kind of interesting, but it's very interesting. I haven't seen. A lot of people were really mad about the Resident Evil movie, apparently. And then it came out and apparently a lot of people really liked the Resident Evil movie. There was a lot of controversy here on that one, too. So hopefully SCP and the movie work it out, and then it comes up. It's a good movie. That'd be nice. Yeah, it'll be fine. I have a game, and it's a good game, a beautiful game, a simple game, and it involves a coin.

You're not your coins, just my coins. Oh, okay, okay. It might not be the most fair game, so it might involve all of our coins at some point. Oh my goodness. Today's game is called Grilled or Fried. Oh, I'm so hungry. Oh, good, I'm glad this is perfect.

We're going to be discussing whether certain foods sure are better served grilled or fried. And they're the best foods. They're the most delicious foods. And the point of all of this is to ultimately decide which is the superior cooking method.

And I think a lot of people hear that and might have their answer ahead of time. and I think we've got some interesting discussions ahead that may change your mind about some of this. We're going to talk about some foods and then we're going to decide at the end, which is the clearly superior method. And one more thing.

Each round, each new food item, and for the final round of deciding, you will be randomly assigned which cooking method. You have to choose, and you will have to advocate for whatever food it is to be cooked in whatever way you have been assigned. Okay.

And we'll start off pretty easy. We'll ease it into this, but we're going to go some places, and I'm curious who's going to win the debate. Stop saying salmon. What? I was something to my brain. I really wanted some salmon. I could add salmon if you want. To my belly?

Yes. Weight his heads, which is the lady, Marcus Tales, which is the lion. I'm going to flip. For each new one, I'm just going to flip, and whoever comes up, they are going to be fried, and the other person is going to be grilled. For the first round, we're going to be talking about chicken. Chicken's an easy one. Right? And on the side of fried will be Mark.

All right. And on the side of grilled, we'll be weighed. Wow. Who's going first? I mean, Mark, you can go first. Okay, all right. Fried chicken is obviously superior in so many ways because you can get it original. You can get it extra crispy.

You can get some weird pressure cooked fried version of it. You can get the Korean fried version, which actually I feel is vastly superior because it's double fried. And everyone knows when you fry something twice, it's twice as good. Oh man, there's no more satisfying a feeling than ripping the skin off of a fried chicken and just crunching down on that bad boy. You can season it with whatever you want. You can slather it in whatever you want. Every goodness that Wade could possibly say about his grilled chicken also applies to fried chicken because all those flavors come right back to me in the fried corner.

So there's literally no way that he could possibly say it would be better. And I will end it with saying, if you took a grilled chicken patty and then fried it, it would be better. Strong argument. Thank you. Very passionate about the fried chicken. Wade,

you've selected grilled chicken against your will. He was talking about fried chicken and where did that lead him? Back to me. He couldn't get grilled out of his mouth out of his mind because he knew grilled chicken. was the way to go. Look, I'm not going to lie, fried chicken taste delicious. It's very, very good. But if you ever fried something in your kitchen and had to deal with the smell and the mess of fried and the fried oils and stuff all over the place, it's kind of messy, kind of stinky,

it lingers. And fried's a lot less good for you. As a person who loves fried food, health-wise, there's a lot of things you don't want to eat there. Whatever you think of like a perfect day, I don't know about you. For me, I think of like a beautiful summer day where you can go outside on the deck, like grill out and hang out with friends. And grill out is the key ingredient here because grilling your chicken, grilling your, you know, ear of corn, having like some nice fruits and vegetables. What a beautiful meal. And the reason for that a big part of it is the grill. The grill is outside. So all of your stinking mess stays out there. The food comes out. It is absolutely delicious. A nice juicy piece of grilled chicken with like some

barbecue sauce or insert whatever kind of sauce you want to use here. I barely could go for some barbecue chicken right now. And Mark even said, Oh man, you know what's really good? If you grill chicken, then fry it. The first part of that was still using the grill. I don't have to fry my grilled chicken or grill my fried chicken. I'm just going to grill.

It's so good. So juicy. And better for you. Less mess. Less smell. Very good points, Wade. Thank you. Mark wins.

Yeah. I had rebuttals prepared and everything. You almost got me, but you kept mentioning how healthy it is. And I got to say that's not a strong selling point on when I'm looking to just absolutely enjoy the shit out of some food. But day to day, when I'm making my choices in life, I care about how healthy something. That wasn't established as a parameters. Okay, let's assume we're just like, man, it's great,

we're celebrating something, what are we going to eat? And is it going to be grilled or fried? I did change the rules on you, which is, something that I'm not going to say. Oh, go on. Go on. Say it. Coward. It's not my call to make. The next food we're going to talk about is steak. Mark, you get fried again.

Easy. And wait, you can go first. Steak. Grilled. You go. Look, there's country fried steak, which I've never even had. When you think of a steak, and no world is the first thing that comes to mind breading or fry. The first that comes to mind is the nice charred lines of a grill. You flip that steak a couple times on the grill. You maybe marinate some terriacchi or something to pay what kind it is or people can use their sauces if they need to. A steak off the grill is the way to eat steak.

If you're not salivating thinking about it already, I don't know what to say. You've been doing steak incorrectly. I know people that had steak like in the oven. I don't know about fried because that's crazy talk. And they thought they didn't like steak. They had one steak on the grill with me and they were like, oh my God, this is what steak is supposed to be. And the answer is yes, because steak on the grill is the definition of steak, period. I have a secret to tell all of you people, the best restaurants you've ever been to for steak, deep fry their steaks.

The latest methods in state, this is not a lie, this is not made up. This is actually true. In beef tallow, they take steaks that are. deeply chilled or even frozen because the temperature gradient is what they're going for. The convective heat conduction of oil transfers heat faster than any other method of cooking a meat. And therefore, you get the outside cooked to perfection of that dark brown crust that you want while the inside maintains its medium rare temperature, which everyone knows is the best way to eat a steak. is there's no other temperature really that you should eat a steak at,

depending, of course, on how depraved you are. You know, I'm willing to account for certain levels of depravity out there to each their own. But this is not made up. There are multiple videos that you can see from top chefs nowadays talking about the method of deep frying steaks and raising them quickly from a cold temperature because it allows the perfect gradient of crispy, like, cooked outside, to soft, juicy, interior, and as we all know, even if they're not doing that, they're basing it in

butter in the pan, which is just frying it in a different container. And all of the best steakhouses in the world do this. You know what I don't do it? At home, where steaks are still the best. That's tough. I have to say, I'm decent at cooking steaks. I definitely have that feeling where I'm like, when I go to a really good. good Steakhouse and I have that. Man, I wish I could make this at home because you can't, because it's

tough. It's tough to replicate because I'm not a chef. I didn't think this one was going to be so tough. I thought I knew the answer to this one. You know it in your heart of heart. You know. I still have to give it to Wade. Oh, thank you. Jesus. I think Mark made that a lot closer than I thought it would ever be because that was very interesting information. It was actually. It was. And that makes me want to try it, except that I don't want to deep fry anything in my house because it's absolute nightmare. Well, you don't know, you could do the butter based. You could do the butter base method.

I have done that. That is pretty sick. I just really like grilling. I really like a nice charcoal grill. I like the act of it. That's fair. That's fair. So what's the thing?

They bake the steak and then like deep fry or fry it to sear. Is that the... It's called the reverse, the inverse sear method or something. A lot of places will like suvied the steak up to a temperature or do it in the oven and then finish the outside. They've discovered that if you do it from a deep chill, straight into the hottest oil you can, it will make a perfect medium mirror.

And this is not something you could do at home. Legitimately, you're right. It's not really something that is accessible. Well, especially deep frying in beef tallow is like, I don't know where you buy an amount of beef tallow to fill a deep friar, but that's nothing. That is also the thing. Deep priors are made to handle beef tallow.

It also can be dangerous because if you're going from like a frozen steak right in there. It could explode. Yeah, you have to be careful with the water content. Yeah. Interesting. Interesting. Interesting. I like this. Good job. That was close, Mark. That was very good. I'm impressed. Next one. Hot dog. Mark, you get fried again. All right. Sorry. That's all right. You know what? I feel like I need a coin cam just to be like, I'm not. It's, this is happening. I don't. It's like three in a row.

We've gone. We've had way better stretches than that. It'll be fine. Mark, you get to go first this time. I would like to harken you all back to your childhood for this one. Think of the hot dogs you ate when you were just a kid. There was no option to heat them any other way than just on the stovetop you had. And how did you do that? In a pot of water. That's right. You boiled them. You boiled your hot dogs to get them up to temperature because they were already cooked. You don't need to do anything other than than doing that. Now, fast forward. You're an adult, sophisticated. You guys, well off. You can afford maybe some friar, maybe an air friar, which I think still counts in this regard. I'm going to count that. You've evolved past boiling, but the ingrained concept of surrounding it

and some other fluid substance, air or otherwise, you know, is calling to you more than just the simple boil. You're sophisticated. You don't want to look too back on your childhood, you want to pay respects where you came from. You go into your deep friar, your air friar to heat up your hot dog because you want the speed, you want the efficiency, you want that meal ready to go, and you're not going to microwave it. Ew. It's going to explode everywhere. It's going to be goppy. I think even my opponent can agree that microwaving is not the superior method here. Convenient, not superior. We're all on board. Can't disagree with that, right? But I think that you can agree that frying is going to offer you that nice crisp bite so that the case in when you're going when you're just taking your

first bite and it really snaps oh you can only get that from a non-exploded version and i hate to say it the grilled does sometimes explode them does sometimes explode them and also it gets burnt and i don't like the burnt taste what do you got to wait so you can explode them you can probably do that if you leave them on the stove too long too i'd imagine but like let's rank the orders of convenience like microwave very convenient. Probably the worst. Next, I think a pot of water is pretty easy. You toss a hot dog in there, boil it, it's ready. Lighting up the grill is a bit more work, but like the reward, the smoky flavor, the char marks, putting that thing in a bun fresh off the grill, putting whatever toppings

or, you know, here since I had a chili cheese if you have it on that hot dog. The added smoky flavor you get from like a charcoal grill, even a propane grill, I imagine to some extent, I've always done charcoal grills, but propane grill I imagine does a similar thing. That added in smokiness is not to be understated. And on a hot dog, I'm a person doesn't even put stuff on a hot dog unless it's like chili and cheese. I don't do mustard onion and all that stuff. So the hot dog itself, the flavor matters a lot.

And when that skin has that little bit of like charring to it and that charcoaly smoke flavor, it's so much better than the convenient microwave, which I'm guilty of using a lot, or even the boil, the air fryer. Those will get it done. Those don't add. The grill adds.

But the result, if you burn it, that's user error. Don't blend the grow. God, that's a close one. I have to give that one to Wade, though. Yeah, I'm not going to lie. Grilling is clearly the superior way to do a hot dog. Although, I will say, I microwave all of my hot dogs. I do go to the microwave a lot.

I will say, though, you know what I hoped you would go for, Mark, that I thought would have bought you or some points. I would have counted corn dogs as fried hot dogs. I thought you were going to go corn dogs as well. Because corn dogs is a hell of. of a thing. I would consider that. Yeah, slightly different food for that. But it's additional it's like more, it's sort of a recipe with a hot dog in it. I bet air fried corn dogs would be really good. Oh, I've done that. Yeah, yeah. If you just get like frozen corn dogs from the store and then air fry them next level. They come out like they're fresh out of the friar and they're still

frozen corn dogs, but they're way better. I don't know if you can grill a corn dog. Not going to lie. I don't know if that works. Yeah, that'd be it. You can grill corn. You can grill, but it's like It's so brettie, it'd be like toasting it. You can grill. You can grill a hot dog. You have to be able to grill a corn dog, right? It only makes sense. I have a corn.

I have a dog. Corn dog. Next what we're going to talk about is sandwich. Okay. Just generally sandwiches. You can talk about any kind of sandwich. On the side of fried will be for the first time, Wade. All right.

And you get to go first. So fried sandwiches, Wade, wow me. All right, Mark's already sold you. He got the point for fried chicken. A fried chicken sandwich, like a chick-fil-A sandwich or just a chicken sandwich in general. Fried chicken, man, it's so good on bread. Oh, we already talked about chicken. Calm down.

I'm just, well, you add bread. It's a sandwich. I'll talk about the whole sandwich here. A fried sandwich. You can also deep fry a sandwich. You dip that whole thing in batter. It's like a deep-fried Oreo. You can deep-fry pretty much anything.

If you want that batter, that crunch on top of just the bread and whatever, I guess, fillings you want. Go ahead. Deep fry that thing. A grilled cheese. A grilled cheese counts as fried, right? You're buttering and putting it on a stove top. So that's a fried sandwich. A grilled cheese counts as fried. Excuse me. Isn't that weird that if you say that out loud? Isn't that but it is? You toss it on the stove. You don't toss it on the grill. It depends on how you make a grilled cheese. The standard grilled cheese is fried. I would say that the average grilled cheese is pan-fried sandwich. I would say that's accurate.

That's pan-seared, pan-seared, maybe, toasted, if you will. I will not relinquish the grilled cheese to being fried. It's not a fried grilled cheese. It is a grilled cheese. It blows my mind, too, that it's mislabeled, but it really is. I will declare this if you want. You want to go? You want to go, bro?

If you want to determine the fate of what a grilled cheese is, man, go for it. You will be double grilled by the time I'm done with this. Oh, yeah, you coward, do it. It would be unfair to call a grilled cheese a fried sandwich. All right, did the thing. I'm glad we're getting this out of the way now. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Yeah, all right.

So, fuck. Oh, I got heads. Oh, okay, well. triangle of fairness it's on the ground don't over exert yourself Wade and I already got heads and tails okay all right okay then while it was tails all right the lady saved us even with the name we've just confirmed a grilled cheese is typically fried and let me let me let me the little side tangent here back in like 2011 2012 steak and shake at least the one in Milford our hometown they had

this thing called the 3D grilled cheese where again they took a hot they took a burger bun, flipped it inside out, and then fried the outside of it, made it like a grilled cheese, and then they put like the burger and bacon cheese, whatever. It was so good. That extra little bit of searing on the bread, m-mm-dilicious. If I'm going to take the win on grilled cheeses, then, yeah,

frying? Yes, please. All right, let me win here real quick. There is only one thing I need to say for grilling sandwiches that will instantly disarm any argument. Panini press. There is only one superior method to adding heat to sandwiches, and that is through a pinini press. And if you will look up all of your pinini presses, what do they have iconic grill lines? And all of us who are too poor to afford a proper panini press may do with a George Foreman grill, the superior way to make a grilled cheese.

let me tell you, those dignified auteur's of food over in whatever country you want to insert here, I'm not naming specifics, you know, for your various pastramis and whatever and yada yada's, they have their delightful panini presses, all of which can do an exact amount of PSI on there to get those prongs grilled properly, and nothing looks better, looks better than the aesthetic of a proper panini pressed sandwich, whatever type, even if grilled cheese, if the fate decides that that's a fried thing, so be it. The world of sandwiches is wider than that of cheese, and I say that there is a breadth of bread-based foods.

Dare I go so far, a breadth of bread-based foods that you can pinnity press. Where do you use a pinnipress? Is it on the stove? No, it's a device. It's basically a George Foreman. A George Foreman is basically a glorified Panini press. They do a pretty even toasting the Panetti presses, right?

That's hard to beat. It's a heck of a sandwich. That's a heck of a sandwich. sandwich and oh, you can put any sandwich in there. It's hard to beat, but you can't, you can give more control in the stove over your Christmas and butter amount, but like the Panini Press, very consistent. The Panini Press is like Ron Po Peel land. You don't need to have control.

You set it and forget it because it's designed to make exactly what you want. You don't have to worry about it. And it do. I know that may have felt like I was on Mark's side. Because I was, because Mark clearly won that. Yeah. Thank you. Thank you. Sorry to all the grilled cheese people.

I really fumbled that coin toss real bad. I did appreciate that you stole grilled cheese from Mark's grilled argument. I thought that that was crafty. A grilled cheese is fried. What can I say? I mean, I have to concede the coins agree onward and upward. That's what I say. Here's what I have to say about this.

Ice cream, grilled or fried? On the side of fried will be weighed. Mark, you get to go first. grilled ice cream. All right. No, you know, I got this one. On the basis of safety alone. Whatever scenario, this ice cream

has made it onto the grill or in the deep fryer, there is only one that is the equivalent of a one-kilat-ton bomb that would destroy grandma. Grandma would be ripped to shreds as the container that was containing the deep-fry oil explodes into pieces,

rips through grandmas, tears her in twain. Ice cream in a deep fryer is both against God and against Grandma. It is the most dangerous thing to our families, our home life, our children, and it should be banned from every platform possible. Even uttering the term fried ice cream should be punishable by frying, which is the most heinous cooking method and worst way to die. Honestly, being dipped in oil, awful. Just an aside, just saying it. I withdraw that jury, but you heard it, right?

I'm just saying, only criminals. Only criminals would allow this travesty against nature to occur. If it goes on the grill, you quickly slap it off there with your spatula because you're so smart, so attending to that grill. You see it go splat, boom, rip it off there, plop it on a plate. Hey, here you go, Timmy. Have a little ice cream. Soft, just the way you like it. Picture this.

Grandma's hold out in the inheritance, so you set up the deep fry right next to her. Pop it in your ice cream, all of a sudden you're rich. Point for deep fried. Also, have you ever had deep fried ice cream? Told you hate this criminals! It's so like you get this frozen ice cream straight out of the freezer. You wrap it in like some kind of crust, I don't know, like a crushed cornflake, cinnamon, whatever.

You quickly dip it in that deep fry. You pull it out. You have like a warm, crunchy exterior. You cut into it. you take a bite, you have the nice still frozen cold ice cream bite with the warm, crunchy exterior, whatever topping drizzle you want, whatever flavor ice cream you want. It is such a magical feeling in your mouth. And since grandma's dead, you have all that money to buy more ingredients and more things

to eat with, you know? You can have bigger deep fry, bigger ice cream, more toppings. You want cherries, whipped cream, hot fudge? Those are probably hard to get nowadays because everything is you can afford them with Grandma out of the picture. So win, win, I say. I've been grandma list for like 22 years, and here I am having all the fried ice cream I want. Not once was something mentioned that was tasty in your mouth with grilling.

This is about the flavor and sensation of eating. The taste of justice will be in your mouth. I learned that whenever I tried to make a healthy argument, and I will use that here in my favor. Man, I wasn't sure how that was going to go, but I am glad that I'm not the only part. I feel like no one I know has ever had fried ice cream. And fried ice cream is a magical thing.

I used to, when I was a kid, we'd go to Chi-Chi's, which is a Mexican restaurant, and they used to serve fried ice cream. I thought it was the best shit that ever existed. How many had to die for that ice cream to make it to your plate, huh? I don't know how many grandmas were killed by my deep fried ice creams, and I don't care. Sorry to all the grandmas watching, but watch your back. well, you both heard points in those explanations, but I do feel like

Wade had a strong point that he was the only one that talked about actually making and then eating some kind of food in connection to his ice cream. Listen, Mark's up there and he, he filibustered. He did a great job, you know? Oh, that would have been good. Ah, yeah, I looked up grilled ice cream. Grilled ice cream sandwich. I'm like, okay, that might have worked.

Oh, that would be good. In my pinini press. We already talked about grilled sandwiches. I get that one. Yeah, that's fair. I think Mark's going to have a distinct advantage on this one. I don't know what I, what I, what I, what I am I? Have you flipped the coin yet? Do we know who's doing what? No, no. It doesn't matter because he knows this product well.

He knows this company well. Ryobe. The next food we're going to talk about is Sour Patch Kids. Grilled or fried? Wade, you get fried. Okay. And Mark, you get to go first. No, wait.

Wade, you get to go first. Yes, yes. I think this is pretty common. That whenever people have sweet food, they want salty food. Whenever you have salty food, you then crave sweet food. Whenever I have a meal, a lot of my meals are kind of probably a bit heavier in sodium than they should be. I always want something like chocolatey or sweet afterward. We could save ourselves the effort by having a nice batter with a little bit of salt and pepper mixed in.

Put your sour patch kit in there, dip it in the deep fry, pull it out. and you have your salty, crunchy exterior and you have your sour, sweet, candy in the middle. You're just saving yourself time by combining meals and getting sweet and salty into the same. And it doesn't end a bonus flavor of sour too.

Because those do make you hooker up a little bit. Man, are they tasty? And man, just having both meals together, saving yourself time, energy, and getting that punch of flavor. Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, this is not an argument about, what pairs well with the food in question.

It is about what cooking method is best for said food. And I doth say that there is already precedence for with which sour patch kids being grilled might yield superior results, and that is grilled pineapple, grilled peaches. Grilled fruit in general has always been enhanced by the grilling process due to the caramelizing, of said sugars.

And no one can deny that Sour Patch Kids are a bevy of flavors of various fruits and contain a bevy of sugar. Therefore, if we were to judge it entirely on which food, the one you dropped and had to scrape off the barrel of the deep friar down at the bottom,

crusted over with whatever heinous additions my opponent is adding, or the delightful grill lines on a plate full of grilled, Sour Patch Kids. I think we all know which one we're going to choose. How do they make default Sour Patch Kids? I have no idea.

I don't know. Why do you both assume I know so much about it? You're the expert. Bob and I both assume. Isn't there a picture of you made out of Sour Patch Kids somewhere in the universe? Had to throw it away recently. It started, ants finally found it. So it got horrifying.

Oh, well, that's not great. Last about six years. But I was right because Mark had a huge advantage on that one because he turned into a Southern lawyer Which we all knew he would I forgot Southern lawyers had an advantage of this competition Obviously the Southern lawyer wins Sour Patch kids just as I would have predicted Mm hmm mm hmm it's gonna be the ultimate one I'm ready Water grilled or fried God I hope I don't get fried

I hope I do get fried Mark it's fried And that really worked out for everybody. Oh, no. It's okay, Mark. You had to go first. There's a saying where I come from, which is have your cake and eat it too. Have you ever wanted to indulge in the most decadent delights we all know are fried.

Deep fried or otherwise in fats and oils always makes it always superior, right? But you don't want the calories. Oh, no. All those deep fryings, they always turn out so unhealthy. Let me let you in our revolution. Water. Water is the most pure zero calorie. It's so good for you.

It is essential for various bodily functions. And if you deep fry it, you can indulge from a safe distance. You can indulge in your terrible habits of deep frying things and eat your fried water. guilt-free. And it cannot be said that there is not evidence that that grilling of water or whatever it is does not introduce carcinogens and the various, you know, carbone-whatevers that are stuck on those horrifying medieval prongs, they call a grill. Whereas the clean futuristic technology of clean, deep-fried water is really leading us into the future. of tomorrow.

Do you see it in the future? Wow, looks like Guam. Surrounded by water. And probably they have friars. Oh, definitely. Definitely, yeah, yeah, yeah. I would imagine at least one Guam has a fire. A fire?

I imagine at least one Guam has a fire. Oh, no, Guam's on fire. Sorry, Guam. I don't even know if Wade needs to talk. That was just moving. It was a near spiritual. But you can go, Wade. Thanks.

I feel like I have an equal shot here. Yeah, you'll be fine. People have needed water since the dawn of existence. And long before friars, there were fires. Campfires, grills, whatever have you. Boiling water, do it right over your campfire. Get like a nice cloth, boil your water. You don't even have to have clean water.

You go, you boil it. You use like a filter or a cloth or something. You can dump it into another potter pan to clean out your impurities. And right there, your water, fresh and ready to go for whatever you want to do with it. it, cook more things in it, it's clean, it's grilled. Oh, you want to do more with your water. You want a nice smoky flavor with your water? Well, put in your nice grill water container. You know what I'm talking about. Don't pretend you don't. And you put it over the grill. You get a nice smoky water flavor. You want some of these little like hickory chips to

soak your water in? You don't have to put meat or something else in there to cook. You just take the water itself after it's been hickory soaked. Toss it on the grill, cook it up, You got some nice hot water. You want to tell the kids they're in trouble, say they're in hot water now? What better water than the water fresh off the grill? You don't want to put the kids in fried water. That's worse for them. I know we're not talking about health here, but even the kids will taste better off the...

What argument am I making? You're killing it. Don't stop. Water. Grilled water. Not children. I feel like half of his argument wasn't about grilling and water. But, you know, I'll just let him speak for himself. At least half of it was.

Let him speak. That's a tough one. I have to say, Mark, I was hoping you would go for, you need batter to fry stuff, and batter needs water to work, sort of angle. Is that true? Yeah. Batter, batter, I mean, often it has, like, beer or something else. Or, like, tempura batter is, like, sparkling water or tonic water,

If any other hype. Some butter are just like eggs and flour, right? I'm a fry versus grill puritan. I focus solely on the ingredients. That's all I do. If I'm going with my gut, I have to give it to Wade. He was in favor of not grilling children, and he had some really useful things he could do with water.

Oh, yeah, but most of it was about boiling it. I don't even know what the, I don't even know what the grill container is supposed to reflect. Man, if only you could challenge it, Mr. Challengie. I feel, I feel, judge, please, come on. He was a rambling, nonsensical, wandering thing of half arguments that wasn't even related to the proper cooking of what it is. Oh, but I wandered into all the right rooms.

The only safety warning we got from Mark's side was that you should be in a safe distance. I feel like there was a, there was a, there's more safety required. Well, he said eating children. He mentioned children eating. Oh, he said, hey, said, not. He said not to, I think. He said children taste better with grilled water. He said that.

Hypothetically, they might, but you shouldn't do it. He changed his mind. That's right. I think so, too. If we're not allowed to change our minds, what's done is done. I could go back, but I won't. Subreddit, help! Subreddit help!

All right, well, we've talked about everything. So now we just have to decide, which is, superior cooking method. Gilling or frying. In favor of frying will be... Oh, God. Bark. You know, it makes sense.

Wait, no. Wade is the lady. That's the lady. Sorry, I forgot my own thing. Wait is the lady. Wade is in favor of frying. Park is in favor of grilling. Wade gets to go first.

I've learned a lot throughout the course of this episode. I've been on either side of the argument in various times. But there is one thing I've been known for since the Donna Distractable, and that's being the king of... meat. We all love meat here. In fact, Bob and I were just at a steakhouse the other day that had unlimited amounts of meat you can eat. And Mark convinced me that even the meat I thought most inside of grilling is in fact better being fried. He taught me that. How can I then argue that grilling is a superior method whenever all of the flavor and everything I love tastes better

fried? I rest my case on the words of my opponent himself. Frying, just better for meat. Short and sweet. Surprising choice. Pork. Final argument. I know I've been arguing in favor of frying every single one of these except for one. Well, let me tell you. That's because I was paid. I was paid by Big Frye to say these things.

Big Frima. Big Friamah wanted me to elucidate these meetings. I know I was the most charismatic about it, but I have to go against it now because I need to be honest to myself. Let's just imagine it. You, you receive an invite from a friend. Oh, I got a barbecue going on. Oh, we're going to grill burgers. We're going to grill hot. This sounds like a good time. They sent you a parchment. Yeah, why do you get letters? Well, I wouldn't know, because all I do is fry, you know, in my past life and now I'm reformed, you know.

I'm good, I'm big enough to admit my mistake. Wow, I'm going to prepare for this barbecue. There's going to be a grill there. I can't wait. R.S.V.P.S. attached to the pigeon. You know? Oh, imagine this. Arrow to the head. head oh what is this oh oh my god a backyard deep fry what's wrong with that he's gonna kill my grandma he's gonna kill me too probably ah I'm gonna tell report this to the police that's what it is deep frying is for criminals criminals that want to secretly kill you your grandma take your inheritance they're gonna seduce your grandma they're gonna get in the will they're gonna take him over to a deep fry and they're gonna kill her And then they're going to be your grandpa. What are you going to do then when you have no money and no grandma

and only a deep friar to look forward to as you're lowered in there slowly? It's bad news all around. You're going to be the least popular person in Flavortown if you go the path of the deep friar. Don't do it. Don't do it. There's no hope at the end of that street. I love the nut once. Did you talk about the flavor of anything?

Also, it tastes good. Oh, boy. I love a good charcoal. Listen, you know, it's just really good and stuff. It's like an eight-mile wrapper you just insult your opponent the whole time. It's like, what's good about your product? I don't know, but that one sucks. Hey, I celebrated my product at many turns there.

The deep-fried water was all about having your cake and eating it too, remember? Remember that? Isn't that good for frying? And I had two grilled. I forgot that I also did the sour patch grill. So, you know. That's true. He did have sour patch grill.

I wanted to like Wade's short and sweet, and I did, because I thought it was pretty true and pretty accurate. But, Mark, I think, convinced me that frying is actually evil. Who cares if it's evil? It tastes better. Well, that's probably why it tastes better. We don't even care about health in this, are you? I learned that in step one. Mark drew me in. I've bought the fervor. I'm subscribing. I'm paying $15 a month to be part of Mike's fur. Mike's. Mark's Ferver Club and Mike

Mike's there too. It's both of you. Mark's soft lemonade. I'll also point out that Bob, you picked grill the majority of the time. Despite any argument I made towards the Friday, I mean, it's probably better. I was really against you this time, Mark. That must be why the score is the way it is.

Wait, what? I have a feeling it's not against you at all. Grilled wins. Mark wins. Just that debate, not the whole thing. Was that definitive? No, no, I didn't say the points here. I said to do the whole thing.

That leaves us with points at in no particular order. Wade, you earned points for being the king of meat, complimenting how good I was at doing a wedding and marrying people. This guy called mentioning Tim Backrooms. You won steak, hot dogs, you stole grilled cheese. You advocated for murdering grandma. You won ice cream and you won water. Mark, you earned points for being very good.

very historical. V slash H slash S. I don't know why that really tickled me. And the thing you talked about, about the whole SCP, what you think, it's not going to be a problem. It's not going to be a problem.

It's not going to be a problem. You also got the acronym man point, which is a point we always give someone during the course of every episode. You won chicken. You won sandwich. You got a point for, I withdraw that jury.

You also got a point for ladies and gentlemen of the jury. I had horrible flashbacks that don't laugh. You won't sour. Parpatch Kids, and you won the ultimate argument, grilling is superior, which you convinced me of. Leaving the final score, 10 points for Wade, 10 points for Mark. Well, we don't even need a wheel spin, which is a tie.

Mark and I can concede and just say it's a tie, you know? Nah, I don't really like that. I don't think that's very good. I don't think you have that authority. I want to. I believe in whatever this wheel is going to say will even things out. Well, no, uneven. It'll uneven things out in my first.

favor. It'll make it perfectly disevenly. Ah, it's three. Okay. There we go. That's, that's good. I like that. I like that. Three spins on. I got to add something to the wheel. I hope it's not shirt close to background. I have a feeling Mark's math can't save me on that.

What's this one? What's the first step of standard operating procedure? That's one of the entries on the wheel. Interesting. The first step is removing the option. When was that added and what the fuck?

Name a fried food. First. Boom. I like the reaction. It's very unfair and completely imbalanced because you're all watching the wheel on a delay. And I don't know if your delay is synced up. It's great. I love this for me.

Spin number one. Please don't be something stupid. Lover of video games. I've always loved video games. I mentioned war dogs earlier. No, he mentioned raw dogs is what he mentioned. No, you guys change it to raw dogs. Well, I mean, who's the butter lover of video games if they mention raw dogs?

You know, there's a lot of loving going on. I only one of us talked about a video. Definitely, I guess, SCP, but you talk about the movie, not the game. So I talk about video game. I mentioned games in there. I mentioned games in there. I mentioned games. Is SCP not primarily a game?

Because that's how I know it. It has many games. When I was talking about it, I was thinking of all the various games had been made. There's a lot of, there's lore, there's video games. Apparently there's a movie. There's all kinds of stuff. I don't know. We both talked about games.

Good luck, Bob. I see, I have to give it to Wade. Damn. Because he talked about the porn games. That was off recording. Yeah, was that in the episode? Was that part of the episode or no? I don't think that was part of the episode.

Oh. Hang on. Scratch that. That's a re-spin then. Oh, man, I hope that's left and out of context. All right, never mind. Wade was talking about porn games some other time. This is spin number one, spin two.

That's so out of context. I love it. All right, I'll take it. Oh, that's what I'm talking about. That's what I'm talking about. Mark definitely gets the shortest point. I'm shorter in my frame. Unless, Wade, you want to concede the point. You want to concede the point?

Yeah, are you willing to publicly state for one, and for all that Mark is taller than you? Or does Mark get that point? How important is winning to you? He gets the point. I can't lie. I'm a... That sounds like he gets that point.

I'm an honest man. Spin number two, spin number one. Oh! Shut. Sudden death! It's a tie. That comes up a lot. That comes up a lot.

Oh, Bob. is the only one who gets this, I swear. That's a chunky show. So the last spin was 24%. So now it's... 26? 26%. What's the date today?

It's like the 27th. And then I have to do math. 93. Oh, boy. Oh, no. That's nice. That's nice. Oh, God.

What are the odds? It wouldn't do that to me. What did? Oh, listen, Mark and I have nothing going on this week, so it's perfect time for us to. One man's show! Hey, this might be the week where Bob has to plan his own one man's show, because I don't know that you or I have the time. One man show! Woo! Yeah, Bob!

One man show! However, it might need to wait until after the next episode, because it was a pre-scheduled thing for the next episode. We were going to put the winner of this one on the next, on the one after this one anyway. Well, there'll be some bonus episodes this month. that I don't think you're going to count toward the typical. So that should give us enough time to make a good one. Well, does it? Interesting.

Interesting. You've had a lot of sudden deaths, I feel like this cease. I feel like that's the second or third one at least. Yeah. Oh, Easy Jeopardy ended in sudden death, but Mark won that one. And that was a couple. Fine. It's great. I love that.

Oh, and also reverse charades ended in sudden death. So three of the last five or five. six that I've hosted have ended in its own death. Well, that resets the wheel percentage, so, you know, we got that going for us. That's great for Mark and I, right? That's good, yeah, that's good, yeah.

Congratulations to both of you, I guess. Grilled and fried, grilled and fried. Grilled and fried are equally good. Turns out it's just whatever tool for the right job. We really got to the bottom of it, and I think that's what everyone was

interested in here. Winner's I'd like to give it up to my opponent here. He put up a good fight, such a good fight, and even though we chucked, you know, grilled cheese to the fry world, which is unfortunate loss, given that grill is a superior method, I still think he put up a good fight even though he's turned the cosmos against some people. And I'd like to commend him for that. He will up-upend the entire universe to win his arguments, and that's the kind of commitment that I can respect. You did it. Congratulations. Wade also winner speech. Mark and Bob conspired to make grilling superior, even though we learned that frying is better for meat. And the universe said, not today! Not on my watch!

We will not say that grilling is superior despite what you all are trying to pull. The rug pull was stopped by the universe itself because frying and grilling are both equally good methods for cooking and preparing food. My opponent also put up a great fight. He had some very unfortunate positions he had to take and fought through them anyway. And ultimately, where we end up after throwing all these punches and haymakers at each other? Shaking our hands on top of the podium. We each have a metal to bite. We each have a random lady to smooch.

We each have champagne to shoot off into the air. And we each are standing side by side as the only two people competing, the only two people on the podium and on equal footing that really determine nothing at the end. Other than that the fact is that grilling and frying, you don't have to choose. They both won today. we all win because of that. What a great episode. What a thorough conclusion. Got all the way to the bottom of that one.

Do we give a loser's speech, Bob? I'm excited for another one-man show. I think we've really turned the corner on those. And I'm sure that this one will just be a delight. I think we've all agreed that the one-man shows are allowed to be fun and pleasant. And none of it has to be like a weird torture ritual. And so I think this one's going to be, enjoyable for everyone, including and especially me.

So I'm really excited for it. And it's going to be fine. It's going to be real. Better than fine. Extra fine. It'd be like a .05 pen fine. 05.5. How fine is fine?

Anyway, it's going to be great. Thank you so much for competing. And I can't even be mad at you because it's neither your faults that this has happened to me. The wheels got me again. What can you do? make sure you follow Mark and Wade and myself
