Good evening, gentle listener, and welcome to Distractable.
This week, it's an episode to disturb the Luna-loving lycanthropes.
Wonka Willie Wade worries about widths of warholes, but wants to grind on stars.
Bethesda Bob bashes Breaking Bad and boycotts barista bastards.
Multi-faceted Mark melts down when Mr. McCarthy multiply moons him.
From Canadian Vomit Aversion A to Pavlovian Provoked Pure Rage.
Yes, it's time for Mark Hates the Moon.
Now sit back and prepare to be distracted and enjoy the show.
Welcome to Distractible.
Make fun of Wade.
He got some foam up on his walls.
Look at him.
Our poster.
I got foam.
I got posters.
Bob's TV doesn't have anything on it.
Hey, leave me out of it.
I'm the nice one.
Yeah, Bob gets points.
Both for...
Mark's headband is still plain.
Get him.
What's wrong?
What?
Plus, I'm sick, so I don't feel good, so you have to be nice to me.
Oh, that's so many points for you, Bob.
Okay, I'm bald.
I don't feel good.
You use that.
You don't get points for that.
You've been sick before i think he
put foam on the top half of his camera wall so that it would look like he has hair you see how
it's like dark up here what do you mean boys this is my hair uh but seriously you actually
you got a poster just to be clear you waited all that one of those
already existed one of those has existed i got seven posters it cost me like a thousand fifty
bucks to get them all framed well good thing they're all in the shot i just wanted them some
of them were from in space some of them were from heist no well i get that i get that that's fine
i wanted them framed and preserved but i can't fit them all there's also the black and white distractible poster well that's very nice i'm gonna wait i'm gonna give
you points for finally getting stuff on your walls but i'm not gonna give you full points
because it's not fully done wait how many points do i get for my soundproofing i have this blanket
is hung up in a much more official way i also put in a seal on the door frame and uh an audio seal
and if you can see there's a little bottom of the door
seal as well. So I try
to like, I'm trying to keep my voice out of
the rest of the house because I'm loud
and I'm loud and I feel bad.
Points for honesty.
Not points for your
shitty soundproofing, which is very, very
sub-minimal. Hey,
because it's true doesn't mean you have to say it.
I've got more soundproofing
than meets the eye.
Uh-huh. Uh-huh.
Don't put up your green screen, I swear to God.
No, I have all these
chunks of soundproofing that I had
to cut. You just tossed them around
all willy-nilly to help
with the echo over there? I had to
cut it to fit it
around. This is one panel and i had to cut
a square well the lines are so perfectly clean i can tell you put a lot of effort into that i did
my best how do you cut perfectly with scissors that wasn't sarcastic that's that's just how i
sound that's not how you do it you cut it you good job wayne thank you i was trying to be nice i was
trying to be nice well i mean the one if you. Well, I mean, if you look closely,
the one on the right is dipping below the poster line quite a bit.
Not exactly even.
The far right corner of the distractible,
bottom right of the distractible poster for us,
it looks like the foam is overhanging the poster.
It just makes it look...
That is not a fault of the hanging.
That is because the ceiling very slightly curves.
And whenever I put the panels up against the ceiling,
I noticed that it was a very slight curve once you got about halfway through.
What kind of Willy Wonka room is this?
Yeah, what is it?
Dude, the price I paid for this room, the rage I felt when I saw it was like
two inches lower on the left than the right with the price this cost.
Did you look at the framing?
That's a little concerning.
Like I didn't notice anything until I put the foam up.
Drywall can curve a little, but like that's like didn't make it quite right type territory potentially.
Until I put the foam up, I had no idea there was anything wrong.
Okay, well.
It's an all white room.
Everything just looks. When you close the door, do all the walls kind of shudder around okay well it's a all white room everything just looks when you
close the door do all the walls kind of shudder around you like it's a set like it's held up by
a couple one buys on the outside it's very sturdy uh but i also had to use okay what the fuck are
these things called command strip i had to use command strips to hang the posters because i was
gonna put a nail through the wall but everywhere that i wanted to hang the poster the little like electric warning came onto the stud finder and i was like well can't
put a nail there so my posters would have been like sideways and off camera and all over the
place for the electric what kind of long ass nails are you putting those aren't heavy are they heavy
those heavy posters this one's heavier than it looks the other one's pretty light because they
but the nail doesn't even
really go through the drywall i just listen last time i tried to put a nail through a wall it went
all the way through and i had like a hole this big and i was already nervous about doing it and i was
like well i better make sure there's nothing else how big was the hole how big was the hole
the hammerhead sized hole
No, uh-huh then why was the hole that big that's that's quite a hole that's a big nail It was just a really weak
No, you're just really strong that's the that's how you gotta look at it i'm gonna give you a
point for being so strong big man doesn't know his own strength yeah exactly thank you so i was
already nervous about putting a hole in there and then when i saw the electrical thing going off i
was like well i don't really want to die for this so i'll just use the command strips but the first
i tried to just command strip the poster the problem is there's like a lot of
gaps in the frame so like the command strip is only touching two little parts so i hung it up
and immediately it collapsed and damaged the frame which thankfully doesn't show up on camera
uh but i was pretty upset about that so i had to buy these and these these have been holding
pretty well so far this is like one of mark's hard drive array sagas except mark's
thing is so technologically advanced i don't even understand what the problem was but this is just
weighed taking a month and a half to hang some very lightweight foam and posters on a wall you
didn't have the posters in your possession until last week yeah the foam does not have any sort of
excuse like that i gotta be honest around the posters oh no cutting
foam that cuts with literally anything how much it's taking you like man like 15 minutes oh it
takes a lot longer than that to do this it takes surprisingly long you know what's funny is you're
talking to two guys that have done this and know how long it takes to put foam yeah no i've done exactly the stuff you're talking
about many many times now the stupid foam vacuum seal doesn't rise on its own so i have to hand
wash and dry each panel it will i can go get foam has been sitting out there for like two weeks and
show you it's i believe you but that's just part that how that worked. That's how all that foam that I bought also was. It never dries.
You gotta put a fan on it
or... I do fan
and...
You could have bought non-wash foam.
I do fan it.
I don't know why that came out like that.
Okay, look. We're not here exclusively
to shit on Wade, are we? Is that the episode idea?
What about your TV? Where's your TV poster?
No, that's not it.
That's not it.
Anyway, Bob's TV isn't working.
He's not going to get points.
The TV points go to nobody.
No one showed up with the TV today.
We're going to go through a few world events that are occurring because apparently the
world is exploding all around us and that's cool.
But I want to talk about some entitled people while the world may be
exploding i saw some of these entitled sons of bitches here oh right two passengers were kicked
off an air canada flight because they refused to sit in seats covered in puke now this is the
problem what is wrong with people if you can't take a little puke to get to your destination
i don't know what you're
gonna you're never gonna make it through life you know but you want to butt chug some puke on your
flight it's free look if we just overlook for a moment the fact that i'm pretty sure sitting in
vomit is good for your skin probably they didn't pay to have clean seats that's a whole different
thing they bought two tickets for two seats,
and then they showed up and there were seats for them,
and they just weren't good enough.
And that's just the world we live in now.
I don't want to call it Pacific Airlines,
but there are airlines that I've flown on
that have made claims like,
they're like, well, you didn't pay for this amenity,
so why would you have it?
And it's like, I didn't know that was a paid amenity.
I thought that was just part of the flight.
Clean seats, as weird as it's, i could see that actually being a thing well it's it's funny because when the people got on uh they noticed that there was a
strange smell but didn't know where to go um and then when they complained about it a security
boarded the plane and then escorted the two people the unruly passengers off the plane
because they were complaining about the puke on the seat and you know justice deserves
wait wait wait were these passengers americans or canadians i'm gonna guess canadian
oh okay is that different than just canadian or is that is that just a special way to say that
i believe it's a french pronunciation i just i don't know why i had this image of like
you know the canadians are really nice stereotype there's just two americans and they got to their
seat and they're like hey these seats are dirty hey i'm not sitting in these seats this sucks
these seats are and the canadians were like whoa, calm down, eh? Whoa, that's okay.
Whoa, sorry, eh?
And the Americans weren't like
blushing or anything,
but they were just like,
no, no, I want a different seat.
Come on, this is bad customer service.
And the Canadians were like,
okay, I'm uncomfortable.
I'm going to get security, eh?
And then the Mounties come on
and they're like,
oh, you need to calm down, sir.
Whoa, look out.
I'm going to need to ask you to leave.
I'm sorry to be rude, eh?
I haven't experienced much of Canadian Bob, but I'm already...
Five points for Canadian Bob.
Oh, thanks for the points, eh?
Ah, don't push it.
Listen, Air Canada did everything they could.
They placed coffee grinds in the seat pouch.
They sprayed perfume on it.
That doesn't...
Hey, Canada, you guys clean stuff you familiar with familiar with like
soap or that is a real quote that's that's actually what they did they placed coffee
grinds in the seat pouch and sprayed perfume to mask the smell do you have a picture or anything
so was it like the seat was coated in dripping like someone threw up and it was just there or like it was cleaned but it also
just still reeked like vomit like how i think it was wiped and that's about it i imagine anyway
those bastards entitled travelers man canadians are the nicest people on earth there's no way
they were in the wrong i'm just gonna say it right i'm gonna actually save my segue of speaking of bastards and insert another fun little snippet story that i saw here buyers of bored ape nfts sue after
digital apes turn out to be a bad investment there was a lot to unpack there no there's not it's
funny it's just funny don't worry about it wait no do you do you know the bored ape nfts have you
seen those way all the pictures pictures of hipster looking ape character type things and people made them bored like b-o-r-e-d
like yeah like oh this is boring i'm bored i'm a bored ape that's how it's spelled right mark
bored ape never seen it i'm looking at it right now never seen this or is it like wooden boards
ape maybe i'm misinformed and no it it's board. Like, I'm bored.
Anyway, they were NFTs.
How are you going to sue someone you bought an NFT from for selling you something useless?
You bought an NFT.
Well, you know, it's hard to say because it's a lawsuit that's compounding the court case
that is going through because the founder of FTX, Sam Bankman Fried.
SBF?
Oh, yeah.
SBF.
Yeah, he's awaiting trial on criminal charges because apparently there was a lot of fraud
going on in the crypto world, which I don't know how that happened because that was supposed
to fix all that.
The market is supposed to regulate itself i thought or something there's no one more honest than people making money out of thin air this kid
who used the internet and went from having no millions of dollars to billions of dollars
without seemingly doing very much of anything other than some computer coding i don't see
anything wrong with that that's that's obvious how he made the money check your privilege it's called the free market you make money on the market for free uh what's confusing about that no
it makes sense so i jumped in without actually knowing anything other than that it's happening
are you saying the board ape thing is tied to sandbank retreat somehow i didn't know he was in
if he was involved with that or not or are you just saying there's a lot of like crypto nft
lawsuits that are happening so the lawsuit is that yuga, whoever that is, I think that's the creator, Yuga Labs, colluded with Soothebees.
Soothebees?
Which is the defendant and a fine arts broker.
So Soothebees.
That's the place where like they sell Banksy's and stuff.
Soothebees is like an auction house, right?
So they sell $6 million art pieces and things.
Which is, you know, this is so alarming because everyone knows that the fine arts world is
a totally legitimate non-money laundering system.
Unlike crypto, art clearly has value you could measure and see.
It's quantifiable.
All right, that statement.
Now I don't know what to believe i'm just saying people have been buying art for outrageous prices for forever you know the art's
always been cool nfts and crypto that's a scam though totally unrelated yeah definitely either
way to everyone's shock board apes went from you know I think a peak of $420,000 in April of 2022 to $90,000 six weeks later after April 2022.
And then have thus plummeted even farther exponentially down.
And I think the current value for many of these is, well, there's a zero in the number.
Are there any other numbers?
As many zeros as you want, baby.
Yeah, yeah.
If you get more, you get more zeros.
There's like 90 zeros in that number.
It's zero.
Yeah.
So, yeah, that's about like, that's precipitous, I think is what the fall of that could be.
And no one could have seen it coming.
No one.
Nobody was out here looking at NFTs in general and the PortApe thing and thinking, man, those aren't going to hold value.
No one could have predicted that.
Is this a bad time to announce our distractible NFT line?
Time to announce our distractible NFT line.
You could buy an NFT of every episode of Distractible for several million dollars, and it's definitely worth that much, and it will only appreciate in value, probably.
Absinthe.
Yep, Absinthe.
Absinthe.
The whole NFT thing, it always struck me as weird.
I know people got really hyped about it.
I really hope out of all
of that one of the major thing that happens is all the artists who like packaged some of their
digital work or previous stuff or whatever and sold nfts i hope they made a bag i hope that they
tricked some tech billionaire idiot with money to burn to giving them a million dollars for was
essentially a pdf file of of all their previous artwork or something.
That makes me feel better about it a little bit.
I hope they didn't scam or defraud anyone, but, you know, good for the artists.
Well, yeah, that did happen.
And then the scamming also did happen because people would just scrape other people's art and be like, sell it as an NFT.
Yeah, well, the scamming.
Yeah, no, that probably is worse than the good part.
So I was just trying to silver lining this, Mark.
I was trying to find. Yeah, but it's also not is worse than the good part. So I was just trying to silver lining this, Mark. I was trying to find.
Yeah, but it's also not like they robbed the artist directly.
It's just like indirectly.
And likely the artist wasn't going to make an NFT anyway.
But it's not good.
It's still thievery.
But, you know, it's a whole messy world.
And I'm glad that's all behind us.
And we'll never rear its ugly head ever again.
It's never going to come back.
Everyone learned their lesson.
I'm certain of it this time.
Yes.
And on the bright side, I've been really enjoying Starfield.
That's great.
That's great.
Do you think this is small talk time?
Do you think this is small talk time?
No, it's related.
Do you guys have any small talk?
I like Starfield and apparently a lot of people are unhappy, but I'm very happy.
I've been enjoying it a lot. Why are they unhappy?'m very happy i've been enjoying a lot why are they unhappy they had different expectations like it's i see i didn't
watch trailers i didn't watch all the hype videos i didn't get on board the like hype train i just
heard it was a cool space game by bethesda i was like oh cool i like skyrim i like fallout but
that's the space game that'd be cool and it came out and i was like oh there's aspects of no man's
sky that are cool there's some things that are like a little, eh, there's some emptiness in planets and whatnot.
But overall, I got what I expected from it and a little bit more.
Therefore, I'm enjoying it.
Yeah, I don't know if it was Bethesda's fault or if it's the fandom's fault.
But this game had a lot of hype building up to the release of like, it's going to be the game of our generation.
It's the new Skyrim.
It's going to be everything.
like it's going to be the game of our generation it's the new skyrim it's going to be everything that's pretty unreachable as as an expectation to set even if it is i don't think it's a perfect
game by a lot of measures but like i think it's a solid game it's pretty good but even if it was
amazing no one is going to think that this immediately replaces like skyrim or something
like that there's a reason there's 38 editions of Skyrim. And every
time a new console comes out, there's a new edition of Skyrim for you to buy. It's because
everyone buys it because like it's become it's it's a thing. It's such a it's like a standard
bearer of, you know, RPGs and modding and all that stuff. But it's the most I've gotten into
a game in a few years. I also enjoyed Starfield so far. It seems fun. Doesn't seem outrageously
good, but it seems like a Bethesda game.
Has some of the Bethesda things.
I've been doing like eight to 10 hour streams of it when I've been able to find the time.
And I don't have time for that.
I've been making it because I'm just enjoying it so much.
Jesus, 10 hour stream.
I know.
I can't imagine doing anything for 10 hours in a row ever for the rest of my life.
Now that we have a kid, I can't.
I typically don't. Every now and then, like once in a blue moon, there rest of my life now that we have a kid i can't i typically don't
every now and then like once in a blue moon there'll be a game or something like i got gtrp
i got into like that i think days gone i got into like that and starfield it's like even after i end
a stream at like midnight to 2 a.m i'm like oh god i want to keep going but i guess i should
probably sleep they'll end stream and my body is just like so done with me that i just crawl up the bed and pass out instantly which is something i also don't do i usually struggle a
little bit falling asleep but i've been so exhausted it's been great and terrible it
sounds fun when you say it like that yeah that sounds great that sounds so fun it is while i'm
playing yeah but even even the after part is like oh hell yeah but i haven't i haven't played a game
like that in since uhen Ring, I think.
And before that, it was an even longer gap.
Yeah, before Elden Ring, what, Hades for you?
You got into?
I don't even know if it was like that.
Hades, I played a lot, but I didn't play nearly as much as that.
It would have been Frostpunk when I found out.
I was like, all about Frostpunk.
Love me some Frostpunk.
But yeah, that's about it.
I've gotten really into starfield
every time i level up i'm like dude i need like 10 more level up points please i'm starving over
here and like i just i don't know i need to grind so much stuff and it's like yes i want to go i
want to grind this must be nice must be nice oh man this guy what a bastard am i right oh yeah
you tell him i'm bringing it back around you remember my segue
i kind of put a stopper on now i'm pulling the cork out and i'm coming right back to it

Anyway, so I don't really know what the name of this episode is going to be. I don't know if it's going to be an analysis of why I'm a bastard or why this guy is just completely deserves all of my ire.
But this started this this saga of hatred and vitriol started um maybe like
three four years ago okay so three four years ago you know i was browsing reddit and you know i i do
that on occasion you know i go on reddit.com and i'll scroll through and i'll look at the popular
posts dot.gov that's a different Reddit.
Okay.
Okay, I'm with you. I'll scroll through the posts and I'll be looking at
things and I think way back
when I came across this picture.
It was a picture of the moon.
Beautiful. It's a good picture. I went
that's a good picture. I like that
picture. I didn't upvote or anything because I don't
do that. You monster. Like,
comment, and subscribe. I forget about it. I didn't upvote or anything because I don't do that. You monster. Like, comment, and subscribe. I forget
about it.
I forget about it.
And then a week later, I come
back onto reddit.com
and I'm scrolling through again
and I look through and
BAM! There's another picture of
a moon! Looks a lot
like the last picture, but I still go
like, that's a cool moon.
Great moon.
Good moon.
Good moon.
Good moon.
Anyway, I scroll past it and I forget it.
Next week rolls around.
Another moon.
What website?
Reddit.com.
Thank you.
Yeah.
This moon, slightly different.
A little more orange to it.
And then the title is just like, this is my highest, most detailed picture of the moon ever.
Combined with like 400,000 pictures that I took in my backyard with my longest title ever.
And I got, I like got tired by the end of it.
I was reading it, but I went like, okay, all right.
Interesting moon.
Great moon, I guess.
Moving on.
Next week, I'm back again.
Reddit.com.
Another moon..com another moon
it's another moon
and by now I start
to realize that like
is this just a repost?
people repost stuff on reddit all the time
and I look and I'm like no no this is
this is a slightly different moon
this has clouds in front of it
this has a cloud in front of it
oh yeah good moon
next week rolls around.
Reddit.com. Another moon.
Is the moon the bastard of
the story? Okay.
No. Next week, another moon.
Next week, another moon. Next week, another
moon. Another moon. It's the same
moon. I look up in the sky. It's the same
moon. I look at that picture. Look at the sky.
I go out of my house. I go, I'm moon!
It's moon!
Okay. And I keep looking,
and I look every week after week, and this
guy keeps posting about
these fucking moons!
And I look at the username,
and the username, and I'm, I'm,
I know I'm, I don't want anyone
attacking, because this is why I think that people
are gonna think that I'm a crazy person,
because how could I hate the picture of the moon?
I love space. That's what I do.
I love the space guy.
Right? It's a Markiplier
hallmark. It's true. No, I look at
this username and it's
A. James McCarthy.
A. James McCarthy. And I remember
that name. I remember
that name. I'm struggling so far
to see what this guy has done wrong.
No, I'm with you, Mark.
No, no, you don't understand.
He's a jerk.
You don't understand.
I swear to God, I, for weeks and weeks and weeks and weeks,
I was tormented by this guy's pictures of the moon,
of how many megapixels, how many pictures he took to make the moon and how many moons he moaned to moon that moon.
The sharpest image I've captured of the moon's surface from my backyard.
My clearest image of the lunar surface featuring Tycho and Clavius.
I applied height data provided by NASA to an image.
I took off the moon to show off how the surface looks in exaggerated
relief. I applied NASA
elevation data to one of my moon pics
to exaggerate it. Tonight's
Venus-Moon conjunction setting behind
my house. Last night I captured
an HDR shot of the Venus conjunction
at 81 megapixels. This
required using multiple cameras and telescopes
to properly capture what my eyes
were seeing.
This unedited shot of Venus and the moon from two nights ago during sunset, taken from my
backyard using a DSLR.
This, that was one week of posts.
Okay, you need to go back though.
August 30th, we had a super moon.
I cannot wait to see what images he posted of that.
I don't, I am on his yeah i'm on his reddit
account going back and thankfully nope nine days ago i got a nice shot of jupiter and io right when
the spot was facing us the other night there are four moons easily visible through the pair of
binoculars wait jupiter is this on reddit.com yes reddit.com a a j michaels wait is this the
guy he has 53 karma is that him no no no no a james mccarthy a j oh got it got it yeah you got
it right i'm finding it all right so here's the thing right i don't know if I'm the crazy one. I highly doubt it. And need I remind you, I'm the host.
Sure. OK.
But there was something about it that just made me hate the moon so much.
And this person for ruining the moon. And I don't know why.
And this person, all they're doing is posting their passion.
I know. I know that. I get that. I understand that.
I cannot stand.
Whenever I see like a high resolution shot of the moon now, I get angry.
And I don't know why I get angry.
I get so angry.
I just get angry.
I can't stand this.
He insists upon himself.
He just insists upon it okay family guy it just he
i don't know why this occurs and i think what just made me so mad is for a while there it really was
just it was just the moon it was just a picture of the moon and i get it like
amateur photographer trying to make a living off of your passion which is space photography i get
it and some of them are really good pictures like i understand that they are good but one's enough
no it's not one he took so many different pictures mark no this one is 148 megapixel composite of
the snow moon the colors are enhanced to reel the gorgeous patterns of minerals across the surface
this one is one of the most rewarding shots of his career captured the iss in conjunction with
the 53 mile wild taiko crater on the moon it's a zoomed in shot where you can see iss
in front of the moon they're all different They're all unique little snowflakes, Mark.
He's improving his craft.
Every one, he's improved and gotten his best shot ever.
No, that's what threw me.
Every post that I saw was,
I just captured one of my most detailed shots ever
of the surface of the moon.
And it's like, great.
That's good for you then.
Great job.
Way to go. I found this stretch that for you then. Great job. Way to go.
I found this stretch that drove you insane.
It ranges from 11 to 13 months ago.
Uh-huh.
There's a stretch of just moons.
Oh, I see.
I see.
Uh-huh.
Oh, you can go even further back probably for more moons.
There's a lot of Jupiter and some Mars in here.
Uh-huh.
There's Jesus and a whole bunch of sheep.
I just assembled a new telescope system in my backyard observatory one year ago.
This image just took 45 minutes.
So this guy tormented you, a guy, whomever, just by existing and posting hobbyist space
photography.
In a very avoidable place that you didn't have to go and look.
Yep.
Where you literally
were seeking it out but not not interacting with the post so i'm not sure how you even continue to
find it because for a while there they were upvoted to like the top of reddit so some of
these posts that you have have like 70 000 upvotes you know yeah i see he's got 24 000 here okay
some of them and i think that's what it was is like the ones that always got up
there were the pictures of the moon like the really detailed with the halation and like it was
very clear and crisp and it's just like
oh did you see his side by side of the picture of the pillars of creation uh taken by james webb
and then the picture of pillars of creation creation uh taken by james webb and then the picture of
pillars of creation that he got with his 500 backyard telescope i don't want to see it
mark i'll put it in chat so you can see it i don't want to see it some of these posts come
from other people's names like that's confusing me a bit i don't know how reddit works some are
r stat slash interesting as fuck some are r slash telescopes are they all him just
posting in that particular subreddit yeah guys i linked i linked to the really cool comparison
picture the 500 only versus 16 billion yeah see if you can tell which is which i don't know oh man
i can't tell oh that's actually not james webb that's hubble you could tell because they have
four facets on the stars instead of six.
This James Webb is hexagonal.
He's got pictures of comets two years ago.
So you just hate this guy.
That's where you are.
I don't hate this guy.
I don't hate him.
You hate space.
I hate how he is.
so you're saying that if someone just theoretically on the internet had some kind of platform like maybe a reddit account or i don't know like a youtube channel and they posted
something that they made that they were really excited about just every day for years on end, like maybe twice a day, even for stretches that you would
find that infuriating that that would enrage you just because this person was doing something they
were so passionately devoted to, even though they weren't sure if it was going to be successful or
come to anything. They just wanted to see what would happen if they made stuff. You're saying
that that would enrage you. I guarantee i'm not alone in this one i guarantee
that i'm not i cannot be alone yes we live in the era of hating things for no reason i would agree
with you no there's a reason there's a reason sure i don't know this guy has a lot of upvotes
which is pretty difficult to achieve on reddit so I think I know what this episode is about. It's like, I now understand where haters come from,
where people just hate something for the sake of hating it.
And or it seems like that to an outside observer.
But to me, it's never been more clear.
If you'd have been there, if you'd have seen the types of posts,
if you'd have read those titles week after week at reddit.com
you would have you would have lost your mind i barely stayed sane i barely stayed sane bob if
it's him it's hitting us soon the age of hating everything on the internet no not everything we're
coming everything no i like the first picture of the moon don't get me you didn't you understand
i like the first few actually have you seen two years ago in r slash space various looks of the moon don't get me you didn't you understand i like the first few actually have you seen two years ago in r slash space various looks of the moon i've captured over the years
my goal is to always show it in a way you've never seen before you've got nine pictures of the moon
i'll hear you know i'll share it with you boys oh my gosh did they actually take this picture of the
the christmas comet wow captured from their backyard last night as it's set on the horizon Oh my gosh, did they actually take this picture of the Christmas comet? Wow.
Captured from their backyard last night as it set on the horizon.
I'm trying to think if I have something like this, I'm sure that I must.
You've never been just a random hater of something obscure.
And I want to say, you know, I don't want, I don't know why I think everyone's going gonna rush to my side and be like yeah screw that moon
guy yeah let's shit on people that have passions that share their passion with the world in a not
obtrusive way listen i do this in a much more generic stereotypical way would come to mind
immediately when breaking bad was on tv when it was when it was still coming out you know like
after the first couple
seasons and everyone was like, wait, the show's amazing. People would not shut up about it. And
for a long time, I was like, nah, I just don't, I just don't care. It just sounds bad. Like,
I like Bryan Cranston. It just sounds stupid. Manny and I ended up watching Breaking Bad in like,
I want to say 2014 or 2015. Pretty well after the series was like concluded, I think.
Great TV show.
I hated it.
For the longest time, I hated it.
And now I'm absolutely one of those people who's like, oh, have you never seen Breaking
Bad?
Oh, you should watch it.
Oh, it's so good.
But that's super generic.
Like, I feel like tons of people, you know, hated Game of Thrones or hate whatever the
popular thing is. Oh, you know what my current of thrones or hate what whatever the popular thing is oh you
know what my current one is guardians of the galaxy can i i think we talked about this or i
talked about this previously i mentioned it because it came up on the subreddit a little bit
because guardians 3 came out and i talked a bunch of shit even though i hadn't seen it i still
haven't seen it i just don't care for it like i gotta be honest be honest. I'm not a huge Marvel hater.
I like some of the Marvel movies,
especially the phase one, phase two stuff.
But like Guardians of the Galaxy just pisses me off.
And I think it's Chris Pratt.
Yeah.
I think Chris Pratt's really funny on Parks and Rec.
And I think he's very funny sometimes. But also his smugness and him just being himself
does that to me.
I'm like kind of a closet Chris Pratt hater
for no
apparent reason like unless i'm unaware i don't think he's done anything you know horrendous or
horrific where it's like oh he's actually a bad person he seems fine he's funny in the right
context he got a divorce which i think in the eyes of jesus is wow all right i'm not gonna see it i'm
not gonna i'm not gonna approach that well in that case no i mean i don't not that
i know of nothing but like i still haven't seen the mario movie either because chris pratt is
mario and i'm like that was a fun movie i don't want to see chris pratt movie oh i forgot my bad
guardians three yeah you know i got that way with jack black for a while when jack black started
being in everything i was like another jack black thing and i always enjoyed his stuff but whenever
i saw him i just got tired of seeing his name and things for a while i was like oh god okay yeah he's in
a band he's got this movie he's got this other movie just go away two movies in a band unbelievable
this guy's everywhere i don't know why do we like why are we inclined to feel that way i don't know
i because i never had that for jack black i've always loved venetian steve and i don't like all
his movies necessarily but i like him yeah i do too whenever i see i never had that for jack black i've always loved venetia steve and i don't like all his movies necessarily but i like him
yeah i do too whenever i see it just like just hearing his name for a while just like infuriated
me it was just like oh god i'm trying i get what you're saying i guess mark is where i'm coming
from but i'm trying to think of a more specific because your thing the thing about yours that's
not like oh it's some celebrity or whatever it's a stranger it's a moon it's a person who might not even be a real person it's a
username i'm trying to think i know that i probably have had this exact thing that you're that you're
describing happen because i'm that i'm a more angry person than you are like i'm a i'm kind
of a dick i mean i'm the nice one of this group but no yeah uh but also like i'm a i'm a spiteful person and i i'm not afraid to just be contrarian
for no reason whatsoever but i can't think of anything like this and i'm i'm shocked at myself
is it weird i have like an opposite experience too you just love someone for posting shit on
the internet i'm not gonna shout out this name but i used to spend a lot more time on social
media than i do now this had to have been 10 years ago nine years ago there was someone who tweeted at me three times a day every
day for like two years and the first message of the day was usually like hey love what you mark
and bob do i'd love to collaborate with you sometime the second tweet of the day was always
calling me a fucking entitled asshole and the worst piece of shit in the world
and i was never going out of my way to help anyone other than myself and blah blah blah blah yeah
that was me and then the third tweet was always apologizing for the second tweet and like kind of
going back to like love what you do would love to do something sometime that's mark's alt yeah
that's my alt account i never interacted but i looked forward to those posts i don't know why but like
it was almost like my morning coffee i don't drink coffee but like i love starting my day with those
messages and like i was always so excited midday to see if there was a follow-up and it just made
me happy to read those in my i don't know if there's something wrong with me but i just enjoyed
the consistency of those messages and they really filled me with something for no particular reason.
Just seeing that username and even knowing that they were going to be addicted to me.
It was just like, I missed you.
I could barely sleep last night because I knew I was going to miss something this morning.
Is that the opposite of hating someone for no reason?
Yeah, I don't know what that is.
That's that's weird.
You're weird.
I think that's
just liking attention you hate a guy posting fucking pictures of the moon dude no that's
an oversimplification of it he posted pictures of the moon and then declared that he thinks it's
better than the one of the picture he took before this is close this is close it's not exactly the
same this is not a specific person because i don't follow these people. But there is one person that did this a lot that got kind of big on TikTok for it.
I figured out what this is.
For me, it's coffee people, like obsessive coffee culture people.
And not like, oh, I went to whatever coffee shop and tried that.
Like the people where it's like they roast their own beans.
They have their own special grinder.
It's a hand grinder because it's the one that has conical teeth instead of cylindrical teeth or something you know like whatever like the people where they have the whole coffee science lab
uh yeah i don't like coffee but i have nothing against coffee i get it people like it and like
i'll drink coffee if it's the only option and i need some caffeine and there's i i don't hate
these people for like being
passionate about it because I'm that way with plenty of stuff. But whenever I see a video where
it's like, oh, I got these beans from wherever, a roaster at this place, and I try them out and
they do the whole thing because it's the whole process. You grind the beans and then you spritz
them with a little water and then you got to like put the thing on that spins and then you got to
put the thing on that taps it down. Oh, you got to use a little spider breath.
Like there's all these steps.
Those videos give me that feeling that you're describing.
For no reason, I have nothing against coffee.
I'm happy these people love something that much.
But watching someone make a cup of coffee for like eight minutes and talk about if the
water needs to be at 243 degrees exactly.
And then we want to do a pre we want to soak the beans but
we don't want to brew that then we want to drain that water off but then we want to soak the beans
again for exactly 48 seconds and then you want to put like that process fills me with rage and i
know it's going to but i also always watch those videos and as they go i'm like oh let me guess
you're gonna tamp it down now, and you have the kettle.
You have the kettle that heats the water to whatever temperature you set.
Oh, well, how original.
Oh, cool.
I get that same feeling.
It's not a specific person, but it's that those coffee videos.
I have the same thing about coffee, but not for like, you know, I have an espresso machine.
You know, I've converted over since I had like an old drip coffee machine
and I've been or a Keurig even.
And I've been like, oh, this makes better coffee.
It does.
That's objectively true because it has a high pressure extraction method.
It is like that actually is fine.
Make a video.
Bob would love to watch it.
Make sure it's ASMR.
OK, but I don't go any fancier than grind my beans and then extract
that's what i do i hate the people that are fooling themselves that are deluding themselves
that their fancy long stemmed kettle and their glass like a special glass that has like the
the air pocket inside yeah with, where they're like...
And they put a filter in there.
It's just like, you just made a drip coffee machine with more steps.
And you're telling me that this is somehow better?
We know the espresso machine's better.
You gotta...
What is it?
You gotta...
You gotta bloom.
You gotta bloom the grounds for 30 seconds. And then you gotta what is it you gotta you gotta uh you gotta bloom you gotta bloom in the ground
for 30 seconds and then you gotta steep you can't do the bloom and then you do two usually you want
to do two or three pours depending on how much you're making you want to pour about 250 grams
of water uh for each pour so you end up with about 480 grams total including the water you
pour to bloom it yeah uh-huh so i get i get the
same thing and i don't i don't understand it and maybe i'm maybe i'm dumb but it's to the point
where it's so it's so pretentious that's what the that's what the core of all this is it's
pretentiousness it's your goddamn pretentiousness which i'm not even opposed to because i'll sit
and watch food like cooking videos and i'll watch like there's a series on TikTok where this guy is cooking his way through the French Laundry well i couldn't find the french laundry gets their cultured butter from this one creamery in the
south of france but they buy all of it and so you can't get that so i got this other cultured butter
it's 28 a quarter pound um and it's not the same but you know this is what i have to work with i'll
watch that and be like cool cool, cool, neat.
But I don't know why coffee, coffee snobbery gets to me because I'm not at all like an unpretentious person.
I love fancy shit.
I'm an idiot, but I love fancy things.
Just not coffee.
Is this just like the hater's guide to pettiness?
Is that this episode?
Yes, it is.
But as if you don't hate anything, come on.
Oh, I do.
Every time Bob mentions TikTok, I get angry because I'm like, oh, fucking TikTok.
For no reason.
You know, when Vine was out, I felt the same way.
And then Vine died.
And I go back and I watch Vine compilations.
I'm like, dude, I love these.
And when TikTok probably dies, I'll probably go back and watch TikTok.
Dude, TikTok was so good.
But like now, when everyone talks about it all the time, it's like, oh, God, just fucking
talk about something else.
Can we talk about YouTube shorts or something else?
Anything.
Not TikTok.
Oh, that's the future, baby.
YouTube shorts.
What's up?
See, that's what we're talking about.
Yeah, that is what we're talking about.
That's fair.
That's okay.
Yeah, we'll talk about it.
We know you're like that with social media.
That's fair.
With like shows and stuff, same thing, Bob.
Like with Breaking Bad, whenever people like hype up a show, like Game of Thrones, don't i still haven't seen it it's like game of thrones game of thrones
is like god just end the show and then like it ended horribly and i was like that sucks but also
how would you even know how would you not even know it what if it had the greatest ending of
all time because you can't avoid hearing people talk about it maybe true game of thrones fans
throners as we call ourselves uh just said that
to scare everyone else from watching the series so that we can have all the thrones for ourselves
well based on the vitriol i see it feels more real than that yeah it was pretty bad but what
are you gonna do watch house of the dragon which i haven't uh i struggled to enjoy that but i i
think we watch the first season.
Is there another season yet or not?
No, I don't think there's another season yet.
I think it's just the one.
I don't know why we hate things that other people like.
It doesn't make sense to me.
Well, that's the thing too, is I feel like people will hop on that
because it's like satisfying somehow.
But what does that satisfy?
Because it doesn't make me feel good.
Even talking about like,
and like I don't ever leave comments
or interact like on the coffee videos, for example. No, no i never it's not like i go and i'm like you're
suck you're stupid glass it doesn't do anything like i just watch it i'm like and i scroll but
like what is that that that satisfies that like distaste why do you hate moon picture person so
much no no no no don't get me wrong i don't know what is that anger seeking to
like uh validate in you or something like where does that come from i it's it's also like not a
thing where it's like i want to do better than them because i don't want to take a picture of
the moon you can't you'll never be as good as moon person yeah i know that that photographer
person their pictures are outrageous they're fantastic
that's that's the thing i'm not questioning the skill in any way you don't hate them you don't
hate their pictures yes i acknowledge that there's a passion there and then there's a skill of
execution they're trying to innovate on these things and usually usually nine times out of ten
i'm like to each their own but in this one specific case i don't know solve it well how help me solve it well that's
what i'm asking we're i'm trying to psychoanalyze you mark i just say if we took some bats and we
found their telescope and it was right there in front of us or maybe their router maybe the
internet router is really the problem i don't want them to stop taking pictures. I just want them to stop posting about it.
Stop sharing your passion, asshole.
I don't go to r slash moon to see the moon, you piece of shit.
I didn't go to r slash moon anyway.
I didn't do that.
Not my fault, asshole.
It's clearly a them problem, not a you problem all right i i i'm not i could google
this but i don't even know what to type in i'm i'm earnestly curious what is that about people
because like why do we hate popular things like i was saying it doesn't make me feel good about
myself or something it doesn't make me feel superior My anger doesn't do anything good for me.
Well, then why does that come up?
It comes from somewhere.
Is it some kind of jealousy?
Am I just insulted that this person knows so much and is so good at something?
And I'm like, I could do that if I wanted to.
I think for some people it does, but this one it doesn't.
Because you're not jealous of the coffee people, right?
Not really. people it does but this one it doesn't because you're not jealous of the coffee people right not really i mean i don't yeah i the best cup of coffee unless i just can't even imagine what it
might be like the best cup of coffee probably it doesn't do that much for me compared to
starbucks or something i don't know here's a couple of possible explanations see if any of
these apply because popular things have a tendency of becoming incredibly obnoxious through over
exposure because we see it too much hear it too, and we just get tired of hearing about it.
Or because people want to be seen as being different,
cool, or having a mind of their own and not being a part of the masses.
Yeah, Mark, everybody liked the moon pictures and you just wanted to stand out.
Right, yeah.
I'm the space guy or something like that.
I just wanted to be better.
That first one, absolutely, though, that's like why people don't like Game of Thrones
and stuff and why I didn't like Breaking Bad right like ever everyone was talking about it so i was
like i'm i'm cool cooler than that cooler than you people like to think that their tastes are
more refined and less common than the mainstream yeah i mean i definitely am that guy sometimes
but again that's about the tv shows why do i hate the coffee why does mark hate the moon
i don't hate the moon that's a good question why does mark hate the moon mark hates the moon and
anything that's extraterrestrial no mark hates gravity dark matter no i i adore the moon and i
think the moon has more mysteries than we would ever understand. That doesn't mean we need more pictures of him!
Everything about Pluto, moon lover?
What about Pluto?
Kudos to it?
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
I'm not gonna do that.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
Deducting points actively.
Kudos to the exoplanet.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha.
Is that what it is?
It's an exoplanet?
Proto-planet?
It's a dwarf planet.
Dwarf planet.
Ah, whatever.
You know what I will say? Maybe'm just gonna put or draw a general conclusion about myself as i'm getting older we're getting older reference new episode title i'm definitely getting angrier
are you guys finding this in yourselves i i i used to not give a shit about anything i used
nothing would get to me i would be chill pretty much all the time but now like i'll if i'm driving the car and someone cuts me off in traffic like 10 years
ago i would have been like whoa but now i'll be like fuck you dick like i get like angry is that
a is that because i'm old or is that because i'm embittered it's something happening to me well
you're younger than us and i don't feel that way yeah you young and over there i'm ragey like on stream and stuff
but it's like a fun rage it's not like i'm actually pissed off but like outside of that
i feel like with driving other things like i don't drive all that much but i feel like i've
chilled out more actually i feel like i'm more mellow than i used to be yeah i've chilled out
quite a bit i'm very mellow except for moon pictures what did you see bob's head just go like that
his camera just totally did like the horror movie oh my god do you see that parker no i'm not seeing
anything are you all right it's like speeding up your camera's like speeding up and making you like
go through motions i'm gonna say that's on your end bud dude i want to record this it's like a horror movie my connection to you must not be good
sorry what were we was a question i was intentionally distracting but now i'm concerned
so so what you're saying is i'm just an angry old dick yeah exactly yeah oh so uh i guess that's just
all we'll ever be is just angry bastards who hate things for no reason like the moon i don't hate
the moon and her stupid oceans uh will it's probably good episode title why does mark hate
the moon no it's not a question way the episode is called mark hates the moon now
look i hate that that's a good title and you know i'm debating not having that but okay i want a little more hate if we're gonna get it can't just be all about me
the reason i brought the moon thing is because it's i know it's dumb that i hate this thing i
gave you i gave you coffee i got i went there i feel like wade's the one who's holding out here
i gave you tiktok nope that's not that's that's too mainstream it's got to be very specific
of something that's coffee is not as weirdly niche as marks but coffee is like there's not a huge
group of people out there hating on coffee culture i don't think maybe there is maybe i'm part of a
bigger group than i think there must be something is there a specific type of mobile game that you
hate is there a specific type of of you you the guy who randomly hates video game characters for strange reasons
because they looked at you wrong one time it's true i'm struggling here man uh what do i hate
think about you know that feeling where it feels like there's like a hot ball of lead in your
stomach like it just sunk down and you feel like tingly and angry and it's like building up what
makes you feel like that things that make everyone feel like whenever i see like stupid comments or i see someone like
passionately defending a stupid opinion that kind of shit you get seriously no but see that's the
thing those are like real things i know you're supposed to learn to ignore those because i feel
that well i don't know if i feel that way for something fake like this i'm talking
about the kind of senseless anger where even when you're angry you're like why am i angry but i am
so i'm gonna be angry about you must feel i don't get that that off okay let me be fair here my
life growing up and even some aspects of my family life now have enough moments where i legitimately
have reasons to feel that way that in my free time i typically don't like there's stupid petty things like sometimes i'll
go to watch like i'll go to look for a video and like i'll see some of the more popular videos and
i'm like fuck that person they've got already like a hundred thousand views let me find someone with
less views i'll watch their video on it for no reason like sometimes i'll intentionally avoid
the more popular video to go watch the the underdogs this saint over here yeah because like it's like yeah they're already popular
fuck their popularity i'm gonna go watch someone else i hate popular things watch distractible
implies that we're popular like top 30 i don't know but just like something specific outside
of whatever already named when i hear people talk about popular shows breaking bad stuff like that
sure i guess music popular music whenever someone's like you heard this new song by new
artists it's like link 182 is right there you guys ever heard of queen go listen to queen
why are you listening to fucking what's her face and just made a song yesterday queen exists
montreal 1981 you ever seen somebody you love no you can see it on YouTube with Queen they're good
one of the best performances ever live sounds great oh auto-tune fuck auto-tune go watch
Metallica like I don't know I have weird things like that the get off my lawn take of the music
world like I don't outwardly ever express just internally I see like a new popular song I was
like oh good another one to try to compete with real music oh yeah i was gonna take my my hate of moon man
to my grave but uh i decided to air it on live here which is why like i know that i know there's
some deep sea like you don't like santa or something like that i i just gotta feel it or
like you don't like you don't like kids who believe in the tooth fairy or something like that
you gotta have something you gotta have something you you believe in the tooth fairy or something like that. You got to have something.
You got to have something.
You believe kids shouldn't have school lunches, something like that.
Why do you think I hate kids?
I don't know.
I don't know.
I just believe there's a hair's hate in that heart.
What's that, nine-year-old?
You don't have any food?
Have you ever heard the saying, there's no such thing as a free lunch?
I'm not even that bothered by like babies on planes and stuff.
Like kids and babies typically don't bother me too much.
All right.
No, Mark, you know what?
You know what this episode actually secretly discovered?
What?
Wade is saint.
Mark hates moon.
Those are the conclusions that we can draw.
Wade doesn't have an evil thought in his body.
He's never thought a mean thing about another person
for any reason didn't i have i is this thing on hello i'm with mark i'm in mark's camp i don't
believe that you don't have any weird things like this i think i think you might not be thinking of
them or you're too ashamed to say it i don't watch or look at things outside my lane very often like
i kind of am very boringly always watching and looking at the same kinds of
stuff yeah but you live in a world where stuff happens it's outside your control sometimes you
go outside i know you do that things happen that that you you can you you might not all right
maybe he's just not thinking of it mark maybe we didn't explain it very well what about like do you
do you hate shakira's husband or something like that
no damn i hate shakira do you hate me no that's fine more for me i love tacos how do you feel
about me i mean people that shit on me for not liking tacos fuck them fuck you for not liking
tacos you idiot you know honestly i agree with you i wish i liked talk my life you know how
different my life might have been i might have
been markiplier level if i'd like tacos that stunted my career maybe it caused a nutritional
deficiency and you know that's why i'm twice your height yeah yeah that's for sure yeah
apparently did you do you guys did i ever tell you my mom admitted that she never fed me as a baby
what do you mean never fed you would you have an iv have an IV drip? That's what she just said.
Literally, that's what she said.
I know that's not the whole truth, but she just totally like, I never fed you as a kid.
What?
What, did she just let you fend for yourself?
I have no idea.
I don't know at all.
She'd be eating cereal and if like a Cheerio fell on the floor, she's like, ah, Mark can
have that.
You would lure kids into the woods and then have a barbecue?
Yeah, exactly.
That's what it is. That's what my childhood was all about survival that's pretty badass man so let me know what what do i hate i'm sure if you guys come to my streams i'm sure i've
bitched about something irrational tell me i've forgotten and now i want to know
i need to know what i irrationally hate like if you just call up Molly right now and ask her, she would tell you all the things that you hate.
I'll text her and see.
Yeah, I bet.
Wade's just better than us, Mark.
There's nothing else to it.
He is.
He's more accepting, more forgiving, more understanding.
All right, let's see if she gets back to me.
Probably not.
Probably not.
She's going to leave you on read.
That hurts when people do that.
Do you hate people that leave you on read?
No, because honestly, I can't because I do it to people more often than they do it to me i check messages and i'm like
i'll get to you later i do that all the time what i'm glad that they made it so you can mark stuff
as unread and i message because if i ever accidentally open a text that i'm intending
to respond to and don't do that it's gone it's gone forever yeah it's it's gone yeah that's true it's it's marked as red it moves
down the list never to be seen again or responded to for any reason i i do the horrible thing where
i go like oh what's this weird blue dot next to my message click on it just to get rid of it
i don't like seeing those dots there oh Oh, there's notifications. I gotta get rid of all those.
All right, done.
The worst thing for me is I'll do that to someone,
like someone I work with or whatever,
who I don't talk to very much.
And then like weeks later, I'll be like,
oh, I need, let me message that and I'll pull it up.
And the last message is them being like,
hey, so can you confirm, are we tomorrow at 10?
Are we doing that?
Never responded.
And then I have to be like, hey, so can you help me out?
And the people who are professionals are always like, yeah, hey, man.
Yeah, I can do that.
And I'm always kind of like, this is going to end the same way it did last time, just to prepare you mentally.
Sorry, I am the way I am.
The best thing she's given me so far
a lot of these irrational things like oh when garage doors don't open tacos was one of her
answers i'll read you the sentence and then i'll explain the sentence goes when jesse cox doesn't
talk to horny chick okay we're watching him play through final fantasy 16 and spoilers i guess very
minor but spoilers there's an npc who like as the main story
progresses she updates who she has an obsession with and who she has a crush on like in the
camp you're in or whatever and there was like a period of like five episodes where he went back
to the main hub and just wouldn't go talk to this npc never contributed anything other than just
like a random one-off sentence about who she had a crush on but like for five episodes he didn't go
back to talk to her and molly didn't even think about it but for me it aided me it
drove me fucking insane it was like what if she likes somebody else why don't you go talk to her
and find out you're walking right by just go up the fucking stairs and talk to her horny chick
final fantasy 16 not being talked to jesse Cox, please keep talking to her. Does this character have a name?
Yeah, is there a name?
As far as I know, she does not.
All right, I'm going to go on Google.
I'm going to risk it all.
Final Fantasy XVI horny character.
Oh, Lord.
Yeah.
This is going to be successful.
All right, here we go.
Is it Aenor Cockburn?
She's just some random lady on top of a staircase is it a nor cockburn i don't
know you should probably google that way and see what comes up a nor cockburn but it's a final
fantasy 14 character wait are you thinking of the right game no no this is 16 and it's literally
just a lady who has like maybe 10 lines and they're all just like i don't love x x x and x
anymore i now love y that's like all she says god you would be so into soap operas are you into soap
operas no i so i had to watch them growing up why was that such a slow answer what happened i was
reading i was reading molly's responses oh okay like i okay i don't know what this constitutes
i've called it ocd in the past
i'm not sure it quite is i whenever i see like a brick wall i have to count the amount of bricks
that are like like how many levels of bricks and stuff there are i also like when things don't look
good like whenever the bed the sheets are uneven on either side or like the comfort is not even
on this like i have to fix it what is this pet peeves part two no well
she's just she's just like giving me examples that are kind of like not quite what i'm looking for
don't blame molly for your shortcomings calm down you guys had me text her you don't even understand
your own self i think i'm just not that that hateful i guess i don't know you heard it here
all right i guess that's the final determinant i i get angry at dumb shit but like it doesn't get to me like to that point it's more like a than like actual
anger all right well wait it's better than all of us he's better than all of us i rage on here
more than like what have i gotten really ragey about on the podcast no it's too late man we're
not gonna help you here if you can't help yourself we're not gonna help you help me be more awful no no you are i know you know to you don't flip this on me fucking moon hater
no you you you've somehow convinced the subreddit that you're just like this you're this shining
beacon of hope that everyone should aspire to but in reality we know how ink black your heart is
right we know how tainted your soul has become over the years.
And we know, we know the lies you have weaved.
Go on.
The subreddit senselessly defending Wade is the, Bob is the nice one of the group of our
distractible era.
It makes no sense whatsoever.
I'm not saying that I deserve the subreddit support either.
I'm saying they should dislike and distrust all three of us pretty equally.
Pretty equally.
Yeah.
Like we have done our part to show them who we really are.
But wait, why don't you show them who you really are?
Dude, I just leak greatness and I can't help it.
You don't even reveal his inner truths.
Like I don't have main character syndrome.
I'm just the main character.
You can't have the syndrome if you actually are the one main character exactly and i can't help that just because the subreddit
realizes that is not my fault you guys are just hateful i'm the moon to you i guess mark no it's
not the moon you are very moon-esque i'm very moon-esque when the light when your studio lights
reflect off your head and when you're the giant brain affects the tides you're very moony
and Mark hates the moon yeah
I hate the moon anyway I'm
ending this here Bob wins he was more
hateful and you don't get to
actually exert your hate on us
because I know Wade you would have turned it right around and showed
who you really were and I'm not going to give
you that opportunity I'm not going to give you an
opportunity to
besmirch the good name that is our bad names.
My bad, guys. I'll do worse
next time. Yeah, you better.
Bob, you win. Congratulations.
You're the most horrible of all
of us. You're a terrible human being.
You hate for no reason, and I love
that. I just want to say,
Mark is dead on. I'm full of
rage and anger
towards almost anyone.
Don't get near me or it might spill over onto you, but at least I don't hate the moon.
Wade, loser speech?
Loser speech.
I'm perfectly content.
I'm going to go listen to Shakira and play some Starfield.
Thanks for having me.
Lole, lole, lole, lole.
All right, then.
Well, whatever.
Anyway, you guys watching at home, I'm sure there's something that is a pet peeve, but
if you post on the subreddit, it can't be about us. It can't
be us that bothers you in any particular
way. You can't come at us
with your hateful opinions. It's gotta
be a coordinated effort
of all agreement of equal support
for every one of us. You can't favoritism
one. That's not cool.
