Wonka Willie Wade worries about widths of warholes, but wants to grind on stars. Bethesda Bob bashes Breaking Bad and boycotts barista bastards.
Starting point is 00:01:49 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.
Starting point is 00:02:18 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...
Starting point is 00:02:29 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.
Starting point is 00:02:41 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
Starting point is 00:03:16 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
Starting point is 00:03:49 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
Starting point is 00:04:06 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
Starting point is 00:04:22 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.
Starting point is 00:04:51 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.
Starting point is 00:05:12 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.
Starting point is 00:05:38 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
Starting point is 00:06:09 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
Starting point is 00:06:56 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
Starting point is 00:07:35 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
Starting point is 00:08:18 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.
Starting point is 00:08:54 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.
Starting point is 00:09:09 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
Starting point is 00:09:38 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.
Starting point is 00:10:11 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.
Starting point is 00:10:28 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
Starting point is 00:11:17 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.
Starting point is 00:11:33 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.
Starting point is 00:11:43 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.
Starting point is 00:12:01 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
Starting point is 00:12:51 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?
Starting point is 00:13:31 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
Starting point is 00:14:01 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
Starting point is 00:14:42 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
Starting point is 00:15:13 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.
Starting point is 00:15:59 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.
Starting point is 00:16:20 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.
Starting point is 00:16:54 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
Starting point is 00:17:15 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.
Starting point is 00:17:43 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.
Starting point is 00:17:59 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.
Starting point is 00:18:14 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
Starting point is 00:18:33 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.
Starting point is 00:19:03 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
Starting point is 00:19:38 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.
Starting point is 00:19:57 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
Starting point is 00:20:32 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.
Starting point is 00:20:57 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
Starting point is 00:21:22 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 popping it in the microwave reheating it baby this episode is brought to you by secret secret deodorant gives you 72 hours of clinically proven odor protection free of aluminum parabens dyes dyes, talc, and baking soda.

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.
Starting point is 00:23:48 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,
Starting point is 00:24:04 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
Starting point is 00:24:20 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.
Starting point is 00:24:30 Next week rolls around. Another moon. What website? Reddit.com. Thank you. Yeah. This moon, slightly different. A little more orange to it.
Starting point is 00:24:39 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.
Starting point is 00:25:02 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
Starting point is 00:25:17 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.
Starting point is 00:25:31 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,
Starting point is 00:25:48 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,
Starting point is 00:26:04 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
Starting point is 00:26:20 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,
Starting point is 00:26:38 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
Starting point is 00:27:10 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.
Starting point is 00:27:25 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
Starting point is 00:27:55 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.
Starting point is 00:28:42 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.
Starting point is 00:29:04 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
Starting point is 00:29:56 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.
Starting point is 00:30:18 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.
Starting point is 00:30:34 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.
Starting point is 00:30:50 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
Starting point is 00:31:15 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
Starting point is 00:31:56 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.
Starting point is 00:32:30 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
Starting point is 00:33:07 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.
Starting point is 00:33:53 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
Starting point is 00:34:29 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
Starting point is 00:35:13 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.
Starting point is 00:35:48 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
Starting point is 00:36:04 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.
Starting point is 00:36:32 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
Starting point is 00:36:49 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
Starting point is 00:37:28 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
Starting point is 00:38:06 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
Starting point is 00:38:56 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
Starting point is 00:39:38 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.
Starting point is 00:40:03 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.
Starting point is 00:40:37 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
Starting point is 00:41:09 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.
Starting point is 00:41:34 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.
Starting point is 00:42:09 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.
Starting point is 00:42:30 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
Starting point is 00:42:54 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?
Starting point is 00:43:21 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
Starting point is 00:43:51 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.
Starting point is 00:44:52 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.
Starting point is 00:45:07 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
Starting point is 00:45:23 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.
Starting point is 00:45:32 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
Starting point is 00:45:48 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.
Starting point is 00:46:26 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?
Starting point is 00:46:39 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
Starting point is 00:47:13 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
Starting point is 00:47:54 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
Starting point is 00:48:29 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.
Starting point is 00:48:59 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,
Starting point is 00:49:28 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
Starting point is 00:49:54 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?
Starting point is 00:50:29 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?
Starting point is 00:50:39 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
Starting point is 00:51:15 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
Starting point is 00:52:01 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
Starting point is 00:52:55 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
Starting point is 00:53:38 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
Starting point is 00:54:23 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
Starting point is 00:55:04 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
Starting point is 00:55:50 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.
Starting point is 00:56:15 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.
Starting point is 00:56:31 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
Starting point is 00:56:45 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
Starting point is 00:57:25 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.
Starting point is 00:58:05 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.
Starting point is 00:58:21 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.
Starting point is 00:58:51 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.
Starting point is 00:59:01 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.
Starting point is 00:59:45 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?
Starting point is 01:00:02 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
Starting point is 01:00:26 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
Starting point is 01:01:04 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.
Starting point is 01:01:30 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
Starting point is 01:01:54 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
Starting point is 01:02:36 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
Starting point is 01:03:20 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.
Starting point is 01:03:58 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.
Starting point is 01:04:17 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
Starting point is 01:04:47 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
Starting point is 01:05:03 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,
Starting point is 01:05:20 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.
Starting point is 01:05:34 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
Starting point is 01:05:50 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. Alright, check out the merch. Store.distractablepodcast.com Check out Bob and Wade wherever they are.
Starting point is 01:06:05 They're on the internet. You can look up Mark Friend Bob or apparently Wade Friend Bob. That also works. Or Bob Friend Wade. You can find all of us that way. So thank you. And that's it. I hate you.
