From constitutional matters to unanimous ignorance, Yes, it's time for Legend of the Monkees Poor. Now sit back and prepare to be distracted and enjoy the show. Hey, everyone, welcome back to another episode of Distractable.

I'm today's host, for many reasons, mostly being that I had more points at the end of last episode. It would be weird if it was any other way. Can victors be declared any other way? Guys? Handshake? What? Technically. Well, it could be the least points, too, if we get the golf rules. That's out there somewhere floating around, right? That's true, I guess, yeah.

Or it could be because one of us takes over and decides not to relinquish our powers. We've put in protective measures. That could never happen. What constitutions are for? They keep people from taking power that's not theirs. And they always work. That's true. There's no way around it, possibly. But in this case, it was legit, probably. And as you can tell, I'm joined as always by Mark and Bob.

Hello. Hello. I was really hoping on the intro that what you were pausing for was that you forgot your name because you were like, hey, I'm a distractible. I'm today's host, Wade. There are times, man, where I feel like I'm getting close. You're not that older yet. That's true.

We're pretty close to the same age, despite the fact that one of us looks like Uncle Fest and the other two look like they're in their low to mid-30s. That's very generous of you to say. I don't know if I meet that description anymore. I will say, I'll say Wade, even though you hit it earlier than us, you have stayed the same for the past, like, six, seven years. Not the gray. If you go back three or four years, there's not nearly as much gray in the beard.

Everything else is pretty much the same, but man, have I grayed a lot. It doesn't really come through on camera, but I don't have any gray on top of my head. My beard is starting to really, like, it's just single ones, but it's gone from, oh, I have a gray to, like, oh, it's getting kind of salt and peppery. in there. Yeah, you got this gradient going on, but it's a gradient. I'll take my point. Anyway, but

yeah, it's always like, like a gray will explode out and be super like jangly and weird. Dude, not the jangly grays. You got the jangles? I got the jangles, man. I'm covered in jangles. Gray hair behaves differently than

non-gray hair. It's like wiry and hard to keep and I don't know. It definitely has a different texture. It's because it's so old. Yeah, I guess so. Hair here's kind of like soft and like, oh, it's pleasant. Then you feel here and it's like, ugh, what, ew, what is this? What happened?

Do you use conditioner, Wade? Because I'm just going to go on a limb, say you use an all-in-one shampoo conditioner. No, I actually have dry skin, so I use like a medicated shampoo and the normal conditioner. This guy thinks he's better than us, which he is because he's the host. Good call. I don't know. I don't know. I look the same, except for the parts of me that don't, mainly the color of hair.

That's what my doctor keeps telling me You look the same except for the parts that don't Good job except for when not My doctor's always disappointed when my numbers come back good Because he wants me to be as unhealthy as apparently He thinks I look I know you eat like one meal a day And like you play basketball and stuff

And I'm I can't talk because I'm really overweight But I don't know why you get to be so skinny Me? I don't feel skinny man Yeah you eat more than I eat When we go to places We go to restaurants and stuff I'm like, oh, God, I pigged out, and then wades over here, like, oh, this is my third steak. I'm thinking about getting a fourth.

I'm like, what the fuck? Like, why? It doesn't seem fair. I don't, I'm glad you think I look skinny. I do not. My self-image is not positive there. I'm sure you could feel healthier, like it, there's always room to like, I wish I was in better shape.

I'm sure that that's not, you feel that too, because that's normal. But you just like, you don't look like me. I look like a big guy who's like, oh, yeah. Of course he eats a lot. You look like a guy where when you eat the amount of food you eat at a Brazilian steakhouse, all the waiters are in the back. And they're like, how fuck is this dude eat? I keep bringing him whole skewers and stuff.

He's just downing it. What is this, this guy? It is impressive. It is impressive. I don't know what you do off hours to keep your metabolism up, but it is, it is stunning. I sit here or I've got a couch where I've got a tablet. That would have been my guess, but that still doesn't make sense.

I mean, every now that, like, my nephews keep me somewhat active. Every now and then my nephew'll come over like Monday and we'll go play basketball for a few hours. Over the weekend, I was over at my mom's and she's got a pool. So my nephews came over and we were tossing football in the pool. And I mean, I was in the pool for like three hours, swimming around, jumping around like a maniac and throwing football. I'm actually still a little bit sore like three days later from throwing. Because I hadn't thrown football like that in a while. You didn't get sunburned at all or anything.

That's impressive. My shoulders and necked it a little bit. I don't know if you can really tell here. It's getting better because this was a few days ago. But I got a little bit more red. Good skincare, good skincare, sunscreen. I reapply after a couple hours, it helps. But I still got a little bit right on the back and shoulders.

I stay a little bit active and I'm surprisingly. I can still run kind of fast, just not for long distances. But I don't do as much as I should. It's kind of like how it was in school. I didn't work as hard in school. I didn't do my homework, but I didn't really study much. I got good grades. I really don't take great care of myself physically.

And somehow I don't look great, but like I don't look as bad as I probably should. I should be rotting in a ditch somewhere right now. You're just a specimen, you know? All the math and cocaine, like, all the listeners are fuming right now because they don't know what we look like, you know. They've never actually seen us, so they're just like, just imagine tall and bald, tall and not bald, and then a short furry thing with a bandana. Tall, tall, tall, come on, guys. Tall, tall, short furry bandana. Furry.

You got like long hair and a little. Yep, Mark's a furry. Everyone knows that. Hey, come on, man. We know where the zipper is. Interpret that as you will. I don't know what it meant either. That's concerning.

I met like because he was wearing a fur suit, but I guess you're going to turn that to other ways. You think it's like the Bugs Bunny style of disguise where it's a zipper from all the way around the back. I guess this is small talk. We're already small talking. So you guys got anything interesting for? This is not new. I have been talking about this, but I'm still reading the dungeon crawler Carl book series.

And man, can I just not recommend it highly enough? I am in the middle of book four right now. I'm in the middle of the gate of the feral gods. I got to be honest, after I rushed through the first three, and I was like, we're going to slow down, okay? Because I was literally, like, reading hours. I was staying up until 2 in the morning, just reading for, like, extra hours. Because I's like, I got to know.

I love books that make you want to do that. I'm going to take a break. Like, I'm going to read this one, but I'm going to read it more casually. And the first, like, third of book four, I was like, oh, no, it's falling off. Like, this is fine, but it's not like. And then there's a turning point, I don't know, like a quarter of the way, third of the way into the book where it went from where it was like I want to know what happens I'll keep reading it

to back to like oh I stay up till 2.30 last night because I fucking couldn't put it down it's good again and it's still good still holds up fucking great books very good very fun I want to start reading those and I heard

is it Laura Bailey who wrote the book that you recommended to mark the Tusk Love or whatever which one are you talking about I recommended it like I knew about I googled that Yeah, the one you recommended, you know, Walrus's mating season, it's a, you know. Well, it's like the Tusk Love, the Ork Book. Well, no, you're like, Mark, there's a book going around that's really popular.

I thought you'd like. It's like the Ork one, the one about Orks. Well, it's like the Tusk Love, the Ork book. Oh, I don't know if you recommended this. I think it was Laura Bailey, who's like a voice actress, but also like known for Critical Role and stuff. That's the one that's from Critical Role, yes. Tusk Love. Yeah, okay.

I saw that mention somewhere else. I wonder if Mark picked that up. Because you recommended it. You told him about it. Fia guin-gwenzon. I don't know this person. I'm probably pronouncing that terribly wrong. Guantan.

Okay, I thought I saw something where Laura Bailey was attached to it. I thought maybe she wrote it, but I don't know. I mean, it's connected to critical role, so like, as possible. Yeah, I don't know. Okay, maybe she was just announcing it or something, then I don't know.

I don't want to misspeaks, I don't know. Anyway, Mark, you read it yet? Write it, read it? Either one. I'd be impressed if he wrote it. Yeah. man. Oh, great. Are you command of your song? Mark's

pen name, Thea, I don't know how to pronounce my own pen name. Sorry. I'm actually on Critical Role. It's me. Matt Mercer. That'd be the cool reveal. Not the best. I don't want to say the best. Not that I prefer Matt Mercer over you,

but also kind of like... He does. Don't listen it. Jesus, man. Come on fuck. No, you're great. You're great, man. You've been a great friend, but like, Matt Mercer. look we'll get him in here replace me out the podcast no one will know the difference I'll give you a point I'll give you a point oh wait you can insult us and we get points for that wait get me come on come at me oh hurt me I'm not I'm not a I'm not a masochist hurt me hurt me I don't know if you want this you can torture me as much as I want I just gave me a free

hurt me point mark I actually hurt but you just gave me the free point I deserve this So what's new other than, you know, not being Matt Mercer? It's going to keep wrong with that in, damn. There's nothing else going on. You know, besides not, I think about that every day. I wake up, I'm like, I'm not Matt Mercer. I got a bad. Maybe I'll wake up Matt Mercer tomorrow.

Then wake up. Rebrand tomorrow, you wake up, be like, I'm Merse Plyer. I was in an elevator with them once. Did I tell you that? Yeah, that's pretty cool. It didn't say anything. No, I know, I like that. I have stories like that or it's like, oh, you know, I was on a, oh, who is that?

Who is that comedian? The Richie Anderson. Oh, what was that? Bobby's World? Oh, no. What was that guy's name? While you're thinking it up, we were on an elevator.

I don't know if you guys remember when we were in Las Vegas to win the You're Welcome tour. We were on the elevator. I remember that. That was really funny. On the elevator? The artwork was on the elevator, like at the place we were staying. I have a picture of that, yeah.

And I guess distractibles also have been like on a big billboard in New York City and stuff, which is also pretty cool. They get to see that one in person. I wish I had. Louis Anderson. He's not the guy who does. Wonderful world That's a different

It's a completely different name Yeah Just want to make sure everyone knew that He is deceased unfortunately But I was on a flight With Louis Anderson And he's hard to miss Because he's one of those guys

Where he's very like Loud and funny And he's cracking jokes with everybody He was like in first class On this plane And I was like Bored in the plane Walking back to my peasant seats

And I just literally Like his face was there And I was like That's Louis Anderson Oh wow That's the whole story But it was cool Was he everything he said I imagine's a joke like the no he was hilarious he was like he was like making friend because they seated him like ahead of time right he got like special special treatment because he's pretty famous whatever and he was like cracking jokes with the the flight attendant people and like the pilots came back and shook his hand and he was like I get some wings ha

it was like it was funny he was a funny guy oh the pilot wings I thought you felt like chicken wings was like wow what a request the pilot came back and you guys are chicken wings on this plane But yeah, I didn't talk to him or anything. He just was near him. Very funny. Cool, cool memory. Oh, he did pass away a few years. I said. I looked, yeah, I remember he's got, yeah, I guess he would stay in there.

He's got like one of those, like, faces you would recognize. I think he has a unique voice too, right? Probably does, yeah. He has a pretty recognizable voice, yeah. Mark, do you do anything cool? I'm, uh, entering in the final phases of the movie, as I've said forever. Final stretch, guys. Final stretch.

Final stretch. Oh, man. I, one thing that I marvel at is that this has been going on so long, and I've learned so much that I see kind of, I see an arc of technology progressing in certain things that apply to this as I've made it, because it's like with the software that I'm using to edit it, DaVinci Resolve, which everyone should use. I don't know why. It's free. It's free. The YouTube ready version is free. And then the paid version is one time payment. Anyway, I want to tell everyone to switch to DaVinci. You should and you won't regret it. But Houdini is also a software that I've been learning and they just came out with like Houdini 21. And this is one of the things where, like to bring it back to talk about it again, is like I just showed Bob and Wade a clip from the sneak peak of it.

There's a part in there around one minute in that is so simple. It's cookies being mashed up mixed with milk blended and then they add like this kind of moose and then whipped cream on it. And you would think like, oh, you know, that's being pretty simple. But if you know anything about CG and you look at that and you know anything about simulations and you watch it, you'll look at them be like, I would never be able to, I mean, maybe it, but it's so good. It is so astonishingly good in the simplicity of making a mocha frappuccino kind of drink with mixed cookies in there. Look that realistic in CG. It's stunning. And so seeing

this arc of progress and the things that I like about it is because I know as an individual, if I really wanted to now, I mean, you could do something kind of similar in blend. I don't think Lender really has that functionality to do those kind of material mixings in simulations. I felt like a kid again, because I used to watch these tech demos for Unreal Engine, and like Half-Life 2, I would watch tech demos all the time, and I would love to see the March of Progress. And now again, I look at that, and I'm like, oh, and I can show it to other people, and I can be like, you don't do anyone, look at this.

It's like, and it's crazy because I, that's exactly how I felt when I was watching it again. And it's still happening. That's so fun. And I know probably, you know, put in Google Vio and get that. It's like, no, but this is something you can control. That's a thing about this versus AI. It's like you depend on the randomness of the system

when you plug something into AI, but you can control it. You can craft it. You can specifically put it in a way that you want it to happen. And you can also do random permutations in it. That's why I think Houdini is such a powerful software. It's not as friendly for me to recommend it because it is much, much more expensive,

but they do have starter versions to get into it. Yeah, well, that's like pro software, right? Yeah, yeah, that's super pro. Not that Da Vinci is not, but Da Vinci is layered in a way where there's the free one, and then there's the, you can pay for it. Well, they do have a free version of Houdini.

You can learn on it for free, and that's fine. But Houdini runs, like, the top of the top CG software is what Houdini does. It's the absolute pinnacle of simulation stuff. You can debate, like, the renders for, like, making 3D look realistic and I think I think there's looks good but it's the simulations that is so far above everyone else's that there's no reason to use anyone else's simulations if you're doing the absolute highest end work possible that's that's where it stands it is at the top end and usually

I'm of the type where I'm like if I'm going to learn something I would like to learn something that's specific to what I'm doing and the highest end of it even if it's so complex that you give me three years alone in a cabin I still wouldn't know all of it but I think it's so cool it's watching that cookie. You can rent Houdini core for one year for $1,300. It includes five karma. What the hell does that mean? That's different. No, you want the Houdini Apprentice for the free one. Houdini Apprentice, you can actually download it all, get it going for free. It'll have like a watermark on there. But what if I want the five karma? I love karma. That's good, right? Yeah, man. Dude, I got a bunch of karma renderers that that I'm not using because it doesn't fully work

on Mac right now. They're fixing that. I need to build up my karma. I want to go to Evan one day. Yeah. No, it gets very expensive because, you know, admittedly there's a small customer base that's buying this stuff. It's usually just top end VFX studios. And it's like, considering there's really not many other options, they can charge whatever they want. But they do want people to learn it. And I think that they have more accessible pricing for individuals who are trying to do it. That was like a commercial use, not just like individual or education. I'd say Blender is still probably the best thing to get started on because a lot of those will get translated over, especially geometry nodes in Blender.

People probably generally don't know what I'm talking about. Geometry nodes in Blender were recently added in version 4, I believe. And they function in a similar way to the node-based hierarchy of the way that Houdini structures its nodes, where things are procedural, and you can have things that affect other things, and you can have math relations to everything. You know, it's cool to see. So I still recommend Blender, but you can start learning on Houdini for free with their apprentice version.

And I will say the video you were talking about that started, You showed me this before we started recording this episode and I kind of like blew it off. I was like, okay, the lighting is good, I guess. Look at how they blended their cookie drink. Like, who cares? It was so good. I didn't even realize it was CG. I thought it was just a video of someone blending a drink and I was like, yeah, man,

I can go to like a Starbucks and watch that happen. I don't know. Whoa, look at the blender work. Whoa. And then you thought it was CG and I was like, in a second? What? Yeah, it's really, really cool.

Did you guys do that, like, tech demos growing up, watching those, the game tech demos all the time? Do I look like the guy who watched tech demos growing up? How about, how about like the cinematics? You definitely watched the game cinematics growing up, right? I watched the ones on Diablo too a lot. That's a good example of it, like the way that Blizzard progressed CG cinematics. They were probably one of the big pioneers of it. Yeah, I just watched it in the game when I played it.

Didn't watch anything about the making. But they were cool, right? You liked them, right? They know they were great. I don't know if Blizzard's still the number one as far as the cinematics stuff go but like for a long time they had the market on like their cinematics would blow you out of the water when diablo two came out like what 98 or 99 and those cinematics were in the game it was like mind blowing that that was being done oh yeah it's crazy i don't know who has the market on

that now maybe it's still in but like it was nuts i know four had some good cinematics but like blizzard obviously doesn't have the reputation it did 20 years ago yeah there's a lot i think weirdly enough lea legends probably has some pretty pretty high-end cinematics i think i haven't seen many of them but I don't know it's kind of I got jaded because I was like it doesn't seem like there's a lot of progress or I don't get excited about this anymore but I got excited about Houdini 21 I'm excited about it any other small talk before we jump in nope this episode is brought to you by T-Mobile 5G home internet I'm sure everyone can agree with me when I say that nowadays everything in your house keeps getting smarter

So I got an episode for us today and last episode I was a little inspired to do this. because we talked a lot about monkeys. So I figured in this episode we would do monkey. No, no, I'm just kidding, not monkeys. We're going to have some monkeys' paw situations. I'm going to offer you all some deals.

Oh, no. And the deals all have a little bit of a monkey's paw, and let's see if you still accept it or not. We get to know what the monkeys paw is? Yeah. Okay, okay. I thought we definitely. There might be exceptions.

Okay, all right, okay. And just in case there's anyone listening who doesn't know what monkeys paw is. referring to. But obviously I do. But what is that? I thought you were going to explain it. I thought you... Monkeys Paul. I don't know if the story was actually called Monkees Paul. Is it called The Monkeys Paul? Yeah, I think it is literally the original story is about a monkey's paw. Long story short, there was a Paul and they had three fingers, I think, extended, and you could

use the paw and make a wish. Every time you made a wish, one of the fingers would curl up to leave the two wishes you had left, one wish you had left, zero wishes you had left. Isn't it also in phasmophobia like they have an item or a game like that yeah they added something similar to that yeah but the thing about the wishes were is there was always a catch so spoiler alert for anyone who wants to read the story i'm pretty sure the way it starts off is this family finds the monkeys paul they make a wish and they're like one of their first wishes was oh i sure hope we get enough money to pay this thing and then somebody shows up at their house is like hey here's this exact amount of money you need to pay your mortgage also your son died in a horrible accident you got this money because it was the amount

that we owe you in case he died at work so the monkeys paul the cat's catch was they got their money, but at the expense of their son's life. It was pretty severe. That doesn't seem worth it. Yeah, that seems not nice. That's what we're going to find out. How much do you guys want what the good is to see if it's worth getting the bad? Okay, do we, are we accumulating this so that by the end of this, we see who's more powerful

and then we duel, like, you know, two gods that we are, but with all the drawbacks. That's not in the plan, but you two are welcome to try. You know, like the piss boy, piss man and the other one. This man v. shitman? I don't think it was that the match of that? there was please don't let this be the fourth of september hold on let me check the calendar when is the fourth of september ah it's a thursday this year you're safe okay we'll save the poop episode for then all right i guess we'll see who goes first bob i'm gonna let you call it you

want heads or tails to go first tails tails tails bob goes first if it's heads mark goes first yes bob goes first that's fair that's a good that was one of my better flips i want to say not good at flipping a coin. That was one of my better flips. I didn't hear it, but I, and I wasn't looking, honestly, I was... Didn't have, didn't have the distinct pating that Mark is capable of, but... I heard it, but my microphone didn't pick it up. I did hear the good pating. I'm watching the sneak peek, and also I have a tab open with the subreddit where I'm reading people's opinions on it.

You're going for that most distracted point. I'm going to give Bob the paying attention point. Well, I can open more tabs. Wait, this is this competition? If you give them, if you give them a paying attention point, then it completely negates if I get the distracted point. Come on, man. Yeah, that really worked out for me. You got a lot of points for Houdini already. Okay, that's fair.

All right, so Bob, I'm going to start off with you. And you both are going to get the same prompts so you can both debate this or whatever. But Bob, starting with you. You get to be rich and famous, but it's over something embarrassing and it's all you'll ever be known for. I feel like I'm taking that.

Well, so I guess it's about something embarrassing. Is it about something that's generally embarrassing or something that would be absolutely embarrassing? me because like I'm we've been on the internet for a while I've done lots of embarrassing embarrassing shit on the internet right but like I've grown out of that there's not anything that I think exists of me online where I look at it and I'm like actually embarrassed anymore it's like that was stupid oh well when I wrote this it was something like you weren't intending like this isn't like if you think of like the hawk tua thing right like she did an

interview where she like to spit on that thing that it blew up but she like willingly did that interview and did the thing. This is like, I don't know, you were walking around someone like pants to her or something in the wrong one. Like, this isn't something you wittingly or did embarrassing. This is something embarrassing that embarrasses you and it's what you get known for. I still feel like I would probably take that. I guess the one thing for this that's tough for me is, I don't actually, this is a silly thing to say given what we're doing right now, but I don't really want to be famous. Like that's, yeah, I included that too, because the fame part. We're, people follow us, people watch this show, people watch my YouTube

channel, whatever, but like, I'm not famous, not famous in the way that, like, Chris Hemsworth is or, or, like, whatever, like famous people who are, that's their thing. I don't really want to be that kind of famous, but it would be hard to say, like, assuming I'm starting over and I'm just some, an average person and I'm going to have like a career and a nine to five job and whatever, or I could be famous and wealthy because of that, and it has to be just from some embarrassing thing that happened. I feel like I would still take that. Okay.

And it's all you'll ever be known for is it that. Like, no matter what you do, you're known for that embarrassing thing. I feel like that would be to have, to have like the kind of freedom that that gives you in terms of like you, you're not tied, you know, if you're, if you have money and you're, you're famous and you can kind of do what you want, you kind of pursue what you want to have that. I feel like that's hard to pass up, even with an embarrassing thing at the core of it. It will be annoying, but I feel like I would take that.

I would like I would take that. Yeah, the thing about is you don't get to control what embarrassing thing it is. So it's kind of random, but assuming it's something that really sincerely embarrasses me, whatever it may be. I think it's still probably like, because I guess what I'm assuming is to you, that dulls after a while, right? Even if you're the person who gets famous because you, well, I don't know, something, you did something insane. You chopped your own dick off accidentally or something and it's like, that's the only thing you're known for. even if it was something that you couldn't get rid of your personal feeling of embarrassment about it

doesn't stay at the same intensity the whole time the longer you live your life the more you can kind of be like no whatever like unless it becomes a spiraling disorder that destroys you and eats you from within you can always have that that's possible Mark you taking the deal what did Bob say I'm taking it

he's taking the deal I mean I think I'm suited for this too because it's just like, I don't really care what people say, but it does depend on how embarrassing it is. You don't get to control that. All right, you don't get to control, but it's extremely, it's extremely embarrassing. This is kind of like a, imagine a wheel of embarrassing. It could be extremely embarrassing, but the odds are,

I mean, at the very least, it's something you don't want to be known for. It's not like an embarrassing thing of just like you went and shot yourself in the leg with an airsoft gun or something. This is like, someone is embarrassing you, it goes viral, that's what you're known for. like I'm the Coney 2012 guy and I'm but I didn't do Coney 2012 I just was on the corner street slapping the ground

and screaming at the heaven like that's all that's all yeah I have not taking it no I made it pretty far without too much embarrassment for myself so I'm like I believe in myself I think I was always destined to be

a big YouTuber I think the the common man just not who I roll with, you know, I'm not normal, I'm built different already, don't need no monkey, uh, changing my paws and change in my future. Interesting. I like how passive way it is sometimes with our, with our big decisions, just like we say it. It's like, yeah, cool. Yeah, yeah, okay. Mark, you go first on this. Yeah, all right, I'm ready. You can speak and understand every language, but you lose your sensation of taste. Oh. You can no longer taste anything. Huh.

You understand and speak everything perfectly. Why did you just flip? Don't worry about it. You know, not every game has to have a secret component, Wade. You could have just, like, a normal game. Maybe I'm just bored and flipping a coin, man. Wade's secret words, part four. Speaking every language is a unique ability that would be an extremely in-demand skill.

It would be fascinating, number one, but to have a native level ability of every language, every language you're saying, even like undiscovered ones or dead. ones. Dead ones or only current ones? Every language. Especially if it's dead ones, it would be of such a value that I would say like, okay, I'm willing to lose my taste to be the person that could decode ancient literature or things like that, like be the person with that knowledge. Yeah, I would take it. Yeah. Bob? Mark raised an interesting point with the dead language thing because that would be very interesting in terms of just be able to learn things about humanity's history but actually I don't like history and I find that really tedious and I don't think I would want to live a life where I couldn't enjoy I've been talking about this a lot lately and it's really not self-loathing but I'm big for a reason I really like food I really like cooking one of my favorite things to do is to cook and to grill and like that would ruin that completely I'm pretty sure I'd lose interest in cooking if the result was tasteless every single time no matter how much effort I put in I really like food it's a core part of what I do on a daily basis.

I don't think I could live if I'd lost my sense of taste, so I think I'm going to pass on the, all the knowledge about all of humanity's history and deep into the, don't care, okay? I have a, I have a pork butt currently brining, getting ready. I want to taste that when it's done, okay? I think it's so funny, because if I did have the leg that I go into like one of the ancient caves and I read some cane paintings and I just like, I just start busting out laughing because I know the real meaning behind it. like, oh, it's a human history, I'm like this guy was super racist, guys.

This is, this is like the one, the original tweet from this guy's career. This game man was a horrible person. Anyway, but, uh, yeah, what were we talking about? You discover that all the old languages that you can now understand are just recipes you can never enjoy. That would be the most torture. That's right. Nah, I still got it. I'll still take it out.

I'll do that. Bob, you're first on this one, I think. You can manipulate luck in your favor. But every time you do or use it, it's at someone else's misfortune. So I see to think of that. I think it's a vine or a meme. All right now, Jeremy, if you push this red button, you'll get $1 million. And the guy's just like, yeah, wait, wait, wait, wait, someone dies.

Someone dies. Every time you push it. He's like, yeah, yeah. Man, that could go in so many ways, though. Do I get to know who it affects, or is it just some random? person. So you don't get to know who it affects or what happens. You just know something bad happens to someone. Is it proportionally bad? Like what if I make little things go my way and then someone else like hits all the red lights on the way to work or something? Or is it like

if I use the power, some bad thing happens. It might be someone dying. You could cure world hunger and someone could stub their toe or you could be like, oh man, I wish my nails looked better and then 10 people die. Like you don't really know if it's proportional or not. That's a risk I'm willing to take, because it's not a hard and fast thing. There's so many ways where you'd be like, all right, I'm going to craft a scenario where I am manipulating look

one time, and that's going to lead to me solving all of the world's problems and becoming rich beyond my wildest dreams. If one person dies as a result of that, that's pretty fucked up, actually, but it's a risk I'm willing to take.

I don't know. That's an interesting one. I feel like, you know, in my head, it has to be proportional, right? If I'm like, let's catch this elevator, and I do that, like someone else somewhere missed an elevator or something equivalent, but that's not how you're saying it's working, but that's, if I don't have to know what the consequences are anyway, in my head, that's how I imagine it works. So then you can just like, I can rationalize. I rationalize lots of stuff. The ignorance is bliss approach. Mark, you taking the deal? I think, yeah, but, you know, let's just think about that time.

where there was a Russian early missile detection system and there was a guy who got an alert that there were American missiles coming and his job was to press the button to fire retaliate strike. Would that be one of those situations where there's luck that he didn't do that and were not all dead? Is that the extreme with which this could go?

I mean, I guess that's a moment where you could manipulate luck. It could be as subtle as extreme as you can imagine, but so can the consequence. You know, when you're playing a video game, you got chikos on ruins the video it ruins it. Part of life It's about not knowing what's coming Not knowing which way the hand of fate's gonna twist your nipple

So I gotta go no Alright well something bad happens you know it was Bob If I can find a way to target my bad luck I'll just have to pick one Patsy To absorb all the luck Just one poor person suffers for everything Bob wants One loser who's just gonna take everything So that nobody else has to deal with it

Oh, man, I left the roast of the oven too long. It's going to be burnt. I'll pick a bad person. Then it's cool. They weren't bad. They were just incredibly unlucky. Well, I'll make sure that they're bad. Was it unlucky that Hitler had his art rejected from that art school?

Someone else manipulated luck. It just so happened to hit him that way and led to that. Yeah. What a crazy interpretation of events that would be. Mark, you have perfect memory. Oh. But every night you relive your worst moments in your dreams. Well, I mean, that's just life for everyone, right?

right guys everyone's already doing that right maybe but you remember I feel like that's one of the skills where it would be really interesting to have that but how useful is it really other than kind of a fun trick to be like you were wearing a blue teal shirt with like mustard stain on the left shoulder at exactly 637 p.m. I think it would be really fun

but reliving worse memories every night which you can already remember in vivid detail anyway, because you remember everything perfectly, but this, you're forced to relive it every night. Yeah, I don't know about that one, Chief. I kind of like having a little bit of ignorance in my life. I like forgetting some things. I think that's valuable. It's nice that memory's imperfect.

And hey, we don't need to have things in such vivid detail all the time. Reliving good memories, sure, it would be nice, but I don't spend most of my days recalling memories anyway. So what do I need them? All right. So you're saying no? I think I got to say no, yeah. Bob, perfect memory, but you relive your worst moments every night. Yeah, I think a lot of the key to my...

I've been trying to take the opposite position from Mark just because I'm trying to win here and playing the game a little bit. But I think the key to my general happiness that I am able to achieve is because I'm able to just forget stuff that would otherwise really piss me off or depress me if it hung around all the time and I couldn't forget things and let stuff go. I kind of got to go with Mark on this one, I think. That sounds bad.

No, you don't need to sound so distressed. I mean, it does feel bad to go with Mark. I understand. Okay. You know. Yeah, no, I hate that that's where I'm at right now, you know? It's a tough position to be in, but I sympathize. I'm glad I won't remember this.

This is my worst memory. When you get into an argument, you were always factually right. You're always right. But everyone will always think you're wrong. story of my life bro story of my life i'm already living that one isn't that just the world nah that doesn't sound that doesn't sound very fun i'm gonna pass on that one i i win most of the argument well it's not true to say most but a lot of the arguments i have and especially ones that i win and have a good time with i'm not factually right that's not the thing that

makes you win an argument and that's a very lawyer thing of me to say but like i but you argue with emotions and you argue with you're making points you're not stating facts that's not an argument that's just like a lecture so I'm not worried about it I like arguing with bullshit and jokes and that those are not factually accurate

things. Okay, Mark always right I feel like this is one where I could technically leverage this in a way that could glean me information beyond my normal means or it limits your arguments to always is B-1s in which you're correct.

You don't really know how the universe is going to shape it, man. Goddammit. Is that what it is? Is that what it is? This monkey doesn't seem very certain. What if you can create objective truth? Because you're right, no matter what you say. Yeah, you're just going to start up an argument, and you're like, bullshit, and you're like,

this is now a law of physics. Ah, the universe converts itself to me. You have, you have the reality stone at your disposal. Like I say No, the earth really is flat To be like everyone believes round But the earth just And everyone's like

It's a round earth But now it's flat And I have to go like No, it's actually round It's flat You dumbass You know, I didn't think that deeply into it So I guess

Take it as you will I want that power Give me that power That sounds great I don't care which way The wind blows on that one I have I'm basically a gun

at that point. Markeemian Rhapsody. Anyway, the wind blows, I decide. The wind's not blowing. There's never been a moon. There's two. I don't know why, but the crocodile dunchy just popped into my head and, like, that's not a knife.

And the guy's holding the thing. It just goes, and it's like a banana. Yes, it is, you idiot. Look at it. That's no no knife. He's British, right? Well, I mean, you know, even if he wasn't, they're all the same anyway, right? Yeah, aren't Australians just upside.

down British people or whatever. Yeah, if you spell British backwards. It's like, shittish. That's not how that works. Shitish. Sorry, Britain. This is sarcasm, guys. It's a joke slash joke slash J.

No, Mark, it's not a joke. Americans are just so stupid. We don't even know. It's just an American thing. Are we unhinged or hinged? Oh, I'm super, I'm super hinged. I'm hinged out of Gord. Mark, you can read minds, but only when it's something negative about you.

Huh. it's like finding something based on where it isn't right you're you're deducing down so the less you hear the closer you are to getting them to like you right i think i still could work with that because reading minds in general is interesting and i don't care what people say about me anyway well i do care what my closest friends and family say so i i think you guys yeah you know your true feelings would come through and that would affect me but i think that i could then act on it i feel like i feel like i could work with that i'll take it maybe oh uh okay maybe not you're locked in all right thanks man contract signed what if the one of the twist at the end of this episode is that everything we pick just comes true

and starts happening I would be the best host in the world if I had those kind of pallor are we doing this are we doing this are we doing this boy don't be enacted I'll snap my fingers right now Bob you can read minds but only when it's something negative about you

nah I think this is connected to the same idea for me as the memory thing I don't hang a lot on like what people will say about me. I don't get super offended. And like, that's a very useful skill in the world that we live in, especially being online the way we are. But like, in the world in general, people will just say and do and think a lot of mean shit. But not hearing it makes it way easier to not care. I think if I was constantly bombarded with that, it would be a different reality than like, right now I can be like, I don't think this person likes me. And I'm sure

they might be thinking terrible things about me, but I honestly just can't imagine what they are and couldn't fucking care less. And I can just, like, write that off because I don't have to think about it. I just skate through life without knowing anything or thinking anything. That's how I, that's how I maintain my happiness. Knowing things sucks.

Thinking hard. He's right. He's right. God damn it, he's right. Like, I see Mark's side, too, though, where, like, there's certain circumstances, where that could be incredible information to have to kind of work with.

But the people that are close to you, like, family and friends would be really tough to hear, like, the, oh, well, this guy will just shut the fuck up that I'm sure everyone thinks when they're in room with me. Yeah. God, yeah. Oh.

Bob, you can time travel, but only up to a minute forward or back, and there are some unpredictable ripples whenever you do it. Is that the drawback? Only a minute forward or back, and there are some unpredictable ripples when you do it. Give, I take, give to me, I do. Oh, so like he's jumping a minute back, but it's like a slightly adjacent timeline every time he does.

So it's like things are just ever so. slightly. Yeah, something is slightly different whenever you use it. I'll take it. Just keep rolling the dice until I get to the dimension I want. So you can go back and change something a minute ago, but also something else out of your control changes. Yeah, if you end up in a bad timeline, you're like, oh, better jump another minute. Hang on. He's right. He's right. God damn it, he's right. You take it. Okay, Mark, would you take it? I'm trying to think this one through because a minute's not a lot, but it's just enough. Imagine a slot machine. You sit down at a slot machine, you bet it all, and you just keep jumping back one minute at a time until you hit

the maximum jackpot. It's a lot of potential power there for a few unpredictable ripples. I think of the movie Butterfly Effect. Have you seen that one with Ashton Coochard, I believe? I know, but I've not seen it. Like, I know the whole premise. And then he wakes up one time and, you know, his arms and legs are blown off for whatever reason that they were blown off for. And then he ends up going back in time and strangling himself in the womb versus the only natural recourse. Sorry, spoiled the movie, Fred. I can't imagine what kind of effects that might spread through the universe. You better get the stream planned now for apologizing for your butterfly effect position. I'm glad these are making you guys have to think. I was like,

I hope this list is compelling. I think also this is like the cheat code philosophy that I had. Like even if it was like subtle ripples, you jump back, uh, you know, because you wanted to try again it's something like you go flirt with someone and it didn't worry reading minds wasn't a cheat code well they're only saying negative things i don't know that i think the dropback is enough for this one it's like i think the benefit that you get at it would spoil the experience of life because you constantly be like ra redo that i stub my toe no i didn't bonk you know i think you'd get too casual with it real quick it would spiral out of control okay so you're saying no got a real uh adam sandler click scenario going on that's what you're saying oh he didn't even have

any consequences. I think he spoiled his chances there. That was a consequence-free remote. Well, his consequence was sometimes life would skip more than he wanted it to. Like, he fast forwarded to the end. Well, then you don't skip. Learn to press the button right, dumbass. You know, I think that's... He had a rewind button, didn't he?

Well, then he just go back. Did he have a rewind button? You'd think a remote would, but I don't remember him ever going backwards, did he? I don't actually remember him ever rewining, but I haven't seen that movie in a while. Yeah, it's been a long time for me too. Yeah. Well, then just don't forward that much, I have a feeling I know how this one's going to go for you, but Mark, you no longer will

ever feel embarrassed, but you lose your filter and you say every thought that comes to mind without being able to control it. I'm not going to do that. Because I don't feel that embarrassed about much anyway, and so it's like everyone has thoughts popping in their head that don't need to be voiced. But you wouldn't feel embarrassed about it. Shamelessly. I mean, you would.

You would feel no embarrassment. Yeah, you're right. You know, hey, ignorance is probably bliss in this case. And all those deep inner thoughts, you want to get out there, you could without worrying. You could. Bob, would you? I guess what I'm debating is I see this is kind of like a superpower. I don't really feel embarrassed about stuff that I think a lot of people might think, like, oh, that's embarrassing that that's out there.

But there are definitely things where it's like, for James, I wish I had less fear of embarrassing myself for his benefit. I wish I would just dance in public and just goof around and like do silly voices or print. But I have that voice in my head where it's like, oh, I don't want. These people are going to think I'm crazy if I just start like met. I don't shouldn't. I do. But I shouldn't give a shit what people think if I'm just having a good time like being silly to entertain James or to have fun with him. And I've like, that's where I'm like, if I could get rid of that or like taking my shirt off at the pool.

I'm an adult man. I've done that plenty of times. And every time I go to a public pool, I'm still like, oh, I don't want that. People are going to see, it's like, I shouldn't care. I wish I was a little fitter, I've been skinnier, but like, I look how I look. The shirt doesn't hide the fact that I'm overweight from anyone who looks at me in real life. But if I could avoid those feelings, I feel like it would make me a funner and better version of myself. But the con, the negative is really tough.

You embarrass the shit out of him when he's older. Because I feel like there's a lot of, there's people in the world who are like, I have no filter. I just say what I mean. I'm honest and it's like there's a difference between being honest and having no sense of context and like having no giving no shits about like what exactly your words are going to do in this exact moment you don't have to say everything you think right when you think it but that doesn't mean you can you're you're just avoiding saying things you can still criticize people and bring up

fair points and do it in a way where nobody is just going to like punch you in the face or be embarrassed in front of all of their family or like context is important right you want to be honest but you want to be honest and respectful of what the context is where you're trying to be honest i feel like i couldn't live with that but i really really want to get rid of the feeling embarrassment about stupid things because who cares like if i dance around in public and look really silly why should i care we also have those like crazy intrusive thoughts something you don't actually think or feel but you just have like an intrusive thought that's like where the what the fuck is that so you're saying

yes or no ultimately? I would have to pass, mainly because I know that having no filter whatsoever, just saying whatever you think when you think it, it's just going to hurt people. It's just going to be shitty, right? I'm pretty plain and honest with people of my life, but I'm also not an asshole, and that's very much a conscious decision, because it's really easy to be an asshole. And if you don't care what people think of you, it's really low consequences for you, but I don't want to be that person. I have to pass, I guess. But man, wouldn't it be so sick if you never felt embarrassed about anything you did in public. God, that would be nice.

You could be naked slap in the corner every day of your life, shouting at the rooftops, you know? I would love that for me. Pretending to be a monkey at security guards or vice versa? You can put salmon on every toilet and wouldn't care. Yeah. I really enjoyed last episode. Can you tell?

I keep bringing it up. I don't think the salmon person was embarrassed at all. I think they had a great time. Yeah, that's true. They were very happy. I think we'll do one more here. Bob, you can speak to and understand animals, but you can't tune it out. Even like insects crawling around your house, when they're talking, you can hear them.

You can't tune it out. Can they, you said speak to and understand, so they can understand me too. Yep. Ignorance is bliss. I don't want to know what people are thinking. I don't even really want to know what most people are saying. I definitely don't want to know what insects have to say. It would be fascinating.

It would be a good time. But if I could never tune it out, nah, pass. I don't really know how loud they'd be. So maybe, like, you know, you're not going to hear like an ant down in the kitchen if you're in bed. But, like, you know, something's crawling on your room. Yeah, I don't think that would be louder than they really are. But, I mean, if you have to talk to an ant, I'm sure you need to. But there's, like, insects everywhere, right?

And that means if there's, like, a fly in your room flying around that he's yelling at you every time he flies in front of your face. Like, where's a poop? Oh, where's a poop? I smell it. I know it's here. Oh, where is it? I'm good. I'll live. I'll survive. I think that every time you would speak to an insect, it would be an eldritch god situation where you say to the fly, you're not speaking at first, but you're hearing it. And then you just say, stop.

And it just like, mid-air, like, what? It starts screaming and panic, but you're just like, I see you. Mosquitoes of the woods, I have poisoned my flesh. Stay back! If you just said in, like, in your, is this telepathy or do you have to say it out loud? speak to I'm thinking you say out loud like you talk out loud okay I would just anytime I wanted bugs to leave me go I go

run run run you know and then they'd probably be like if you heard a voice in the sky just suddenly speaking your language like run I'm running you know if I hear the cloud start shouting at me I'm running you know so I think I think you could I think you could clear it out run and tell everyone to stay away

from this place run run and then you know it depends on a level of intelligence I guess but yeah okay but honestly what value is there really and talking to animals. This sounds really mean. Like, you know,

because of racial you can have a real conversation with Chica. He already does. Yeah, I do. She understands me perfectly, and I understand her.

Oh, father. I love you. I love you. Oh, and I'm back to where I love you. I love you. It's like that's what it is.

I don't know. Maybe there's value. Maybe there's not. Depends what you do with it. I don't know. I don't think there's that much value in it. That it would be worth hearing all of it all the time. I don't have tinnitus,

but occasionally I'll get like ringing in my ears and I'm like I can't imagine living always like this whews. Oh, I kind of like this one. I want to do one more. I lied. We're doing one more because I like this one. You're the host. All right, Mark, you're granted one wish. There's a consequence, but you'll never learn what the consequence was. Just you'll know that there was one. But you get to have any wish. This is just describing the monkey's paw. This is the monkey's paw. Well, monkeys paw, you usually find out the consequence. This one, you're guaranteed to never know what happened. You never know what happens. You know there's a consequence.

You've never learned what it was. I mean, given that I've taken worse deals already in this episode, I think I got to take this one. Because if the whole theme's monkeys paw and this one I can live in ignorance, then hey, you know? Yeah, but maybe a part of your mind will always wonder, like, how bad was it? Nah, I'll get over it. Bob, you taking this one? I feel like I have to take it. So is this monkey paw rules where the consequence is related to my wish?

I know I don't ever have to know what it is or whatever, but like. You're welcome to think and believe that. I mean, so if this is magic rules and I don't ever get to know what the consequence was, I guess part of my life plan has to be I'm just going to travel the world as aggressively as possible. If I go everywhere and meet everyone and none of them can be the victim of this consequence because I'm not allowed to know what it is. Something bad could still happen. Maybe you wonder if that's what the consequence. You won't know if it's the consequence or not.

Like, if someone near you passes away, you might be like, is that the consequence? Like, you'll never know. It doesn't mean nothing bad can happen. You'll just never know. You could just say it is. I could step my toe and be like, ah, the consequence. Fuck. Oh, well.

Oh, no, my consequence. Ah, there it was. And that may not be it, but then I, I settle it in my mind that way. Like, yeah, it doesn't mean nothing bad will ever happen around you. You'll just never know if that's why it happened. No, I settle it in my mind that way. And that's fair. You can rationalize.

You taking the deal, Bob? I feel like the moral of all of the monkey. POS stories and existence is that you're not supposed to. So, yeah, I'll take that deal. Okay. That is the first yes you've all agreed on, by the way, this whole time. Whoa. You guys agreed on a bunch of nose, but that's the first yes you've both agreed on.

I guess it was easy. Okay, let me do some work here. I don't care for that very much. Yeah, he's been doing that a lot this episode. For listeners, Wade is flipping a coin repeatedly right now and then jotting some things down. All right. So basically what I decided was I kept track of your guys's yeses and no. You guys both had compelling reasons. So I let the coin decide who got the point for yes or no for each one. So I did 10 coin flips for 10 prompts. Heads meant no, tails meant yes. So heads one on one, four, five, six, eight, and ten. Tails one on two, three, seven, and nine. So let me just go back here and look. Oh, God. So for one, uh, if you said no, you got a point. That's Mark. Is this the curse of the coin flip that Bob agreed to years ago?

Yeah, wait. This is just a convoluted way to get a whole shitload of coin flips going. No, I think it's a perfectly logical way. Yeah, if you guys want to agree, there might be some bonus points here. If you want to really like this. I'm all about it. I'm all about it. I have calculated my points.

How good is your counting, Mark? I hope it's worse than I think it is. Do you want to know what the current score is? I can read it out. Oh, I guess if he's going to tell us. Yeah, if he's going to tell us. I'm not going to read the yes-nows individually because I didn't keep track of that while I was writing,

but I'll tell you how many points you got from that part. Mark, you got points for movie so close. You aren't Matt Mercer. You had a point for that. Gray-dratt? Gray-something. So about the gray at the beginning. You said maybe gray comment.

Gradient. Gradient. That's what the point is. Road elevator with Matt Mercer. What did Matt Mercer point? How much should we talk about Matt Mercer? What's happening here? Uh, something da Vinci, Ace Da Vinci, Uncle Da Vinci, I don't can't tell what that says, something Da Vinci.

You called me Chief, I gave you a point for it for some reason, and, uh, Houdini. Damn. And then you got four points for the yes, no flips. Chief, I, you didn't realize, come on, Sport, I didn't know that was a way to get points. I don't know, I was like, oh, Chief. It just rubbed me the right way. How many points did I get, Bucco? You got a point for DC Carl, Dungeon,

Crawler Carl. You got a point for, hurt me. You got two points for made me feel good because you said nice things about me. You got a point for paying attention, flew with Louis Anderson, and can rationalize real good. And then you had six points from the coin flips. Our current score is Mark has 11, Bob has 13. Oh, ha. All right. Okay. So it's time to see how many spins we get. one you know you want to do shit all right three it is three the only answers we get three yep back to our threes glad we have other numbers on that wheel have we ever gotten two there's two ever been spun all right there's a two on friday july 11th is the last time we got a two apparently maybe whenever we question the wheel like can it can't it can't roll spin two then you

spin it hits too like ah i guess it can and then the ones that count it doesn't All right, what are you adding? What are we adding? I just wish there was an entry called The Monkees Paw Curls, and then we have to, like, pick a random bad thing to occur. Like, it's not point-based at all. It's just like, you know, something terrible occurs, and everyone has to wonder what it was. We can add it and hope that that happens, I guess. And that wastes a spin, you know, that would be fun.

Like, it lands on it, something bad happens, and it wastes a spin. We can have neutral spins. Yeah, the Monkeys Paul. Put it on there. I hope we're not willing negative energy into the universe, but like, that would, that would. Uh, world, we can thank Mark for coming up with it and me for agreeing to it. Bob's innocent in this one. Yep, I'm completely innocent.

All right, so we got three spins here, huh? He's probably the one that's going to be affected by it then. That's about right. All right, three spins. Eh? Most self-sabotage? None of you lost any points. I told you to hurt me.

You gave me a point for telling you to hurt me, but I, I mentioned Matt Mercer and, oh, I guess I got a lot points for it. Never mind. You did get a lot of points. There was no lost points here. What about the monkeys' pod, you know, decisions? Who, who... That could have sabotaged all of us. That's true.

Who took the most bad? Oh, who took them? Okay, so... You both said yes to four things. Only one of which you agreed. Oh, we're allowed to call re-spins. Yeah, let's re-spin that one. Oh, most locked in.

Mark had like eight tabs open and it was doing some shit. I literally gave Bob a paying attention point. I have six e-bbing. tabs open, four Amazon tabs, two YouTube tabs, three Black Library tabs. I've already given the point to Bob. In the episode, I bought a piece of software, and I'm

looking at a graphics card. Yeah, Bob, you got that point. A graphics card? What are you looking at a graphics card for? It's that one that I'm not going to buy, but I keep looking at it. So we can run a Da Vinci Pinchie. Was that a special play that the Eagles run? The Da Vinci Pinchie. Most impressions.

Did anyone do a Louis Anderson impression? I wouldn't say I did an impression. I want this one There's the depression Speaking of Gilbert Godfrey Wait I know you're not on like TikTok or whatever But have you seen the meme the

Nothing beats a Jet 2 holiday Have you seen that meme going around? No Okay well it's a meme that people are putting over stuff But there's a there's a version of the audio Where a guy does it in Gilbert Godfrey's voice And he's like Nothing beats a Jet 2 holiday

And it's really fucking funny. That's two impressions right there, Mark. I don't know how to argue that. I don't know. That's fine. Whatever. I'm already going to lose. I don't know. And the third spin is golf score. You could have done some impressions if you want it. It could be. Mark's doing an impression

of sadness. Hey! Mark is the point. That's Mark's point. Most unrelated tabs open. All right. I was thinking it was going to be the sleep one and I got a, I pulled another all night over weekend, so. Well, at a final score of 15 to 12, Bob takes it. All right, fine. Congratulations, Bob.

This is where we make our comeback, Wade, collectively against Mark's dominance. I was going to say, this is the first time one of us is hosted, and Mark has an immediately won. Yep, yep, yep, yep, winner speech. That's me. I wasn't even expecting it. I forgot I won already. That was a fun idea. That was a fun episode. I definitely did some stuff that if it was real life, I would regret immensely. But like I said in the beginning, I can rationalize anything, man. I can rationalize anything to whatever I wanted to be. I will be fine. I will make it work. Monkey's paw, don't scare me. And now I'm going to be a rich, whatever those things were I wanted. A rich non-animal speaking, something, something. You know me. That's me. That's what they call me. Good game, Wade. Thanks for

making you win. Mark, uh, loser speech. Uh, look, I'm still up for the year, for the season. I, you know, everyone can have a few off days here and there. I'll make my comeback. I'll get on top again. I'm going to win next time. Likely true, according to how things have gone this season.

Got a good feeling. All right. Well, you can find us, boys, Mark at Markiplier, Bob at Myskir, me at Minion 77, or Lord Minion 777. Merch could be out now. But I don't know If very well it could be Stay tuned for the next one Or Bob will host
