Good evening, gentle listener, and welcome to Distractable. This episode, magnifying Mark gets homesick for Whoville, gains flatulence, then reflects on a year of hilarity. Broad-minded Bob is haunted by sticks, didn't pump weights, and bought a bad fridge and sucky Subaru. Whencing Wade gets the cookies, loves chainsaw action, and fixates on farming syrup. From cranking hard to firm friendship

It's time for new year old us now sit back and prepare to be distracted and enjoy the show Hi, welcome back to distractible the show where we do a professional quality opening every single time, because Baldemort is here. And thank goodness he is, because otherwise we would not be able to have any kind of cohesion or professionalism. But speaking of cohesion and professionalism, I'm here hosting me, Markiplier, that guy from the famous podcast Powerwash Pals.

Hey. And I'm not known for Distract. Don't leave Tyler out. Who? I'm the fourth most popular co-host of Go, my favorite sports team. You know. Woo. I'm judging this podcast, which is Distractable if you forgot, where I will set up a...

Oh man, I gotta write stuff down, don't I? Oh, when are these laws? which is distractible if you forgot, where I will set up a... Oh man, I gotta write stuff down, don't I? Oh, one of these laws. Where's your remarkable tablet? It's in the other room and I'm too lazy to get up and go get it. So it's the end of an era. 2024 is coming to an end.

It was a year. That's about the most I can give 2024. It was a whole year. It was a pretty up and down year. But before we get into the broader strokes of the year as a whole, how is your day or recent week or recent life as a new guys? Really funny today. James met Santa today. He did this last year, but he did not remember. And he was kind of scared of Santa last year, which is pretty common for little kids. He was two years old this year,

and we took him to meet Santa, and we were like standing outside of Santa's area, and it's like a whole, there's Christmas trees all around, and it's decorated. We're standing outside and he's all, oh, Santa, ho, ho, ho, Christmas tree, Christmas tree. He would not shut up. Like he's very, he's in a stage right now

where he's super chatty. It's adorable. And then it was like our turn and we go through the line and we walk in and like he stands at the entry and we're like, it's Santa James. Go meet Santa. And he does that kid thing where he's like, like two inches at a time. Wouldn't say a damn word. Walked up to the guy.

This, it was, he was a great Santa. The guy who was doing it, I mean Santa was great and he was like Chad and I'm asking him questions He had his zebra with him because he wouldn't put the zebra down today. He's like, oh you have a zebra I love zebras, maybe you could help me take care of my reindeer. Oh James was just like Then I was time for the picture and we were like go hug. And he like did that thing where he didn't move his body, but he leaned in slightly closer to imply that he was like, hug. It was really cute. The pictures turned out pretty cute, but he was, you've met, you both have met him.

He's not particularly shy in general, but what he meets like people in costumes or strangers he doesn't know who are, you know, but he knows from TV or whatever. It's a weird reaction I can't tell if it's abject horror or He's just like It's the celebrity I love from television. It's here. Oh But it was very cute and we have pictures source and everybody pictures like a Christmas story Whenever you look Santa like kicks the kid down the slide. Shoot your eye out kid. Has he seen that movie yet?

Nah, there's no reason to fear Santa from the media we've showed him. We did accidentally show him some of the Santa Claus. So maybe he thinks Santa is Tim Allen and he doesn't like him. That's an entirely reasonable response. You walk into the North Pole and you're like, Eww, I mean, ho ho ho. Whoa, wait, that one he brought you cookies, Wade. He did, yeah. I was going to say James delivered cookies to me today.

He was really sweet. He was like greeting me. He and Ren came by and I forget what all words he said, but he said hello and he said bye bye. He handed me the cookies and I was like thank you. And she's like say you're welcome. He's like welcome. And I was like oh thanks. And then he put his hands out like alright, I

give them back. I was like oh., thanks. And then he put his hands out like, all right, I give them back. I was like, oh, his offer, cause I'm not gonna. But they're also very good cookies, but no, it was sweet seeing him. I can't believe how vocal he is now, cause like compared to last time we saw him. Oh, he literally just talks constantly.

It's crazy. Well, he was kind of shy around me the first couple of times. I guess I've seen him a handful of times now at least, but you know, even I felt like the last time we saw him, which maybe it was out to dinner or something, but he was a little bit more quiet. But no, he was chatty, just kind of talking to himself, looking around. He said like a Presley came out with me, my dog Presley, and he said Presley's name and I was like, Presley, like prompting. We were like, did he randomly pick anything up

and throw it and go, go get it? No, thankfully. We were trying to teach him to play with the dog and we're like, you take the dog toy, you toss it, you say, go get it. No, thankfully. We were trying to teach him to play with the dog and we're like, you take the dog toy, you toss it, you say, go get it. And with Lexi or when there's other dogs in the house, he just, with whatever he finds, he's just like, go get it. And the dogs are like, what the shit, man. We were outside and the only thing close to him was a pile of dog poop.

So I'm glad he didn't pick anything up to throw it because it would have been bad for all of us. Oh, he would. I'm glad he didn't steal the cookies to throw it because it would have been bad for all of us. Oh, he would. Well, I'm glad he didn't steal the cookies back from you. They're very good. They are very good. Mandy made those. They're delicious. Yeah, so far I think I've already had two chocolate chips and two of the pretzels.

And we've had the cookies for all of actually like an hour and a half at this point. Yeah, it's only been a little bit. I'm missing out on all the Christmas stuff. Well, you live in the wrong state. You're allowed to live here. No. I don't know if they'll take me back, guys. I'm too California'd up.

Ohio doesn't like my type. Dude, I got a haircut this week, and the lady who was cutting my hair was very chatty. Of course, politics, because I was getting haircuts, so she was talking politics, and I was just kind of like, mm, mm, just cut my hair, mm. And at some point, she was asking me a question. I was like, yeah, well, we lived in California for a while, but we just moved back. And she was

kind of like, oh, you're a California person. Didn't mention anything else about politics. That's for sure. And was not so, I mean, she wasn't mean, but she was not so chatty and nice the rest of the time, because she knew the truth about me. So you might be right. You might find it difficult to be here. because you're such a famous Californian. It is funny when I get questions from family about how the wasteland of California is and how I'm faring in the nightmare escape that is the beautiful weather at the moment. It's a family member is like, yeah, how do you deal with $9 gas? And I'm like, well, you know I drive an electric car number one and number two that was a transient price increase

But it's like When you fill up the old gas tank mark anytime there's a fire I get I get so many texts being like are you okay? And I'm like Texas Texas California is a very big state Usually the fires aren't in high, big population centers. I mean, usually okay. So, but I would like to come back someday. You should. Did you know Ohio is more like California now

than ever before? Where is this going? Three days ago, there was a magnitude 3.3 earthquake right on the little southern tip of Ohio. Ooh, Ohio doesn't get those. And everybody just filled in their basements and started driving Teslas really fast on the highways. And now we no longer say y'all we say dude. I've met one person that actually talks like that and it's Evan. You mean Evan from the

northeastern part of America? Yeah exactly from I believe Maine. You mean Evan, bruh! No, everyone in Ohio after the earthquake, when you walk into stores and they were just like, what are you even doing here? Get back on Mulholland and head south till it jumps you and whatever. Are you from Lowellville? That's very good, guys.

I don't think I'm coming back anymore. Dude, you should just fun. We have fun here, you know? Maybe I will depending on how everything in my life turns out. Bad if you don't come back. Jesus Christ. That's a little thick. That's a little heavy, Wade.

Calm down. I'm not wishing it on you, I just know that here's where the good is. Before we transition, I wanted to mention, we talked about Baltimore at the beginning. I played the Space Marines 2 game not too long ago, which was really fun. It's a great game. And I was talking about some of the lore and someone's like, oh doesn't Baldemort do a whole bunch of Warhammer 40k lore?

I was like, yeah, yeah, he does. And someone's like, what is Voldemort's Twitch channel? I was like, hmm, not sure that's what you're looking for. Everybody calls him Voldemort. I don't know if it's an autocorrect thing or what. Anytime any people, even people who know it, they mention him on Reddit or whatever. That was like, oh, God, I love Voldermort's openings. He's so funny and witty and British.

There's that reminds me of something. My family was in town and I took them to Universal Studios Hollywood. I've never actually been in the park myself, but we went and we're going around there. The strange thing about That place is universe wallens rights to like how the grinch stole Christmas, right? And one of my favorite movies of all time is the Jim Carrey how the Grinch stole Christmas on the sign They had a big Grinch area, but it said happy Hubillation yeah, who belation no it's who village

Who-vill-ation. Yeah, Who-vill-ation. No, it's Who-vill-ation. What? It's the Who-vill-ation, isn't it? I thought it was like Jubilation, but it's Who-vill-ation. I thought it was Who-vill-ation. Is it not the Who-vill-ation? I looked at that and I hear the entire movie

in my head all the time. And I'm pretty sure I remember the line, Who-vill-ation, Who-vill-ation, ugh! The correct term is Who-vill-ation with a B, my head all the time and I'm pretty sure I remember the line who violation who violation Oh the correct term is who violation with a B not who violation according to who this festive celebration is associated with the fictional town of whoville from dr. Seuss's blah blah blah blah blah is that the Google AI giving you that answer this is from spirit Halloween calm okay don't you dare question spirit halloween i'm questioning it i don't believe it's who-belation because that doesn't make any sense at all yeah because it's the who

jubilation it's the who's jubilating they're jubilis it's the whoville jubilation maybe the town doesn't jubil the the who's jubel. I gotta watch, I've watched The Grinch of Christmas like three times already. I gotta watch it again with captions because I wanna do a video where I actually recite the entire movie all in one go, no cuts, like on a live stream or something.

So I need to study up, because I got a lot of it in my head, but I need to get it all in order for practicing. Because I want to do all the voices and everything. In my entire life of watching this movie, I swear every character in the Jim Carrey one says, Who-ville-ation. Who-ville-ation. Maybe not.

It's been so long since I've seen it, I could not tell you. And Vs and Bs are pretty close. Didn't you also say before this recording to remind you to talk about something? Cowbell! That was it. Cowbell! Right! Because of Lockham! Uh-huh, yeah. Did you also say before this recording to remind you to talk about some cowbell? Yeah, so I still much to my chagrin and I've talked about it endlessly drive My Tesla that I've had for eight years the giant piece of shit and that's not just me like hating for hating No, it's been bad. It's been really bad. I drove it off the lot as a piece of shit It's been a piece of shit through every year of its warranty in which it's been in service every single year for many times Same problem and they've done full replacements on the suspension three times and now it is officially out of warranty

So if it happens again, I'm screwed Anyway in Tesla, there's a cowbell mode that is activated by pressing the cruise control four times And the thing is if I press it twice and it doesn't activate I'm gonna press it cuz to activate it You press it twice, right? I go to click click and it doesn't go so I go click click again And then I activated cowbell mode so for the rest of the fucking drive to Tyler's house of the fucking drive to Tyler's house. So is it this is it actually the song? Is there something weird about pressing cruise control

multiple times and don't fear the reaper coming on? It is exactly it was exactly that. It's don't know. All the time. What the fuck? Don't don't don't don't. Don't don't don't. What the fuck? It was a whole, I couldn't figure out how to turn off because pressing it four times again only restarts the song And I'm in the middle of driving on the highway So I'm just like

So for 20 minutes Dong dong dong dong dong dong dong All along the highway And I'm just like And I'm just like And I'm just like And I'm just like And I'm just like And I'm on the highway, so I'm just like... Uhhh... So for 20 minutes... DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN Gotta have more cowbell. I got a fever and the only prescription is more cowbell. And then it goes again.

Dong dong dong. The whole fucking drive. Teslas have the vibe of like websites in the early 2000s where it's like, I'm going to this website because I need to order whatever printer ink. And it's just like a printer ink website. And you load it up and just like all the Small things starts playing and a bunch of clip art is like dancing around the screen and then in the middle It's like yeah, click here to buy a printer ink will ship it to you. It's so stupid

It's so stupid and you know how I turned it off because I actually had to when I got there I googled it how the fuck do I turn off? It's a bunch of people being like, I don't know what the fuck happened. You'd like say something or something? No, the easiest way, besides shutting the car completely down then turning it back on, is to activate fart mode and press the fart button.

And that will interrupt the cowbell and it will stop playing. Dude, the fart mode is funny though, cause it'll make different seats in the car fart. That's funny. I don't think any other car in the world has that kind of fart mode. What? Oh, have you never seen fart mode, Wade? No, I don't.

I've seen a car with heated seats once. Oh, it has that too. That's not part of the fart mode, though. So in yours, is it the right stock that is the the cruise control one or is it the left stock? It's left, left lower one, yeah. Because we have a model wide, it's the right stock which the passenger in the car could absolutely reach. So anytime if they wanted to a passenger could just reach over and just go, cowbell. And then cowbell mode would probably start, I think. Man, that's fun.

At least it was only 20 minutes, but I feel like if I was on a longer drive, I would have pulled over. So maybe it's the worst case to be in, but. I imagine the worst times, like you're rushing to the hospital and you actually do it. I bet you can activate fart mode with voice commands though.

So if it ever happens again, you just hold the voice command button, it's be like, ah, fart mode. And everyone voice command button and just be like, AHH FART MODE! And everyone in the car could just be like, what the fuck? What clown car are we in? What the hell? In a funeral procession, you got people in the car mourning and you actually activate Calbo, and you're like, oh, so I'm so sorry. Let me activate fart mode. Farting. Hahahaha.

Don't tempt Elon, he would put in a voice activated fart mode. What funny horn noise do you use Mark? That's the real question. Can you customize the horn? You can change the horn and the like lock sound, the walk away lock sound kind of thing to any sound you want. You can literally put mp3s in. Wow, that's great, man.

I can't wait for that. So I assume you use a funny novelty sound for those things. Oh wait this is what you're missing for not having a car just to let you know. Well at least I know why I can't get one they're so busy programming useless shit into it that it takes a little extra time on the production line. Don't talk shit about fart mode. Anyway that's that update but not the topic of today's episode. It's been a year. We have sustained this podcast through thick and thin.

If you count three peens in a pod, we've been doing this podcast for, I believe, six years. Is that right? It's talked about establishing it in 2018. So I think at the earliest it would have been 2019. Okay, so five years we have been doing this podcast on and off. We don't know when the first date is.

Someone out there probably does, but we do not. But either way, five years of distractible slash three peens in a pod is a long time for anybody to be doing sustained regular podcasts, which oddly enough we actually have. But this year was especially fun because we had some real bangers of episodes this year. And I do think that a lot of people would agree, they're some of the funniest episodes that we've ever done in this past year, which is shocking because of how little time we

actually had to do all this. Like I went through so many different setups. I was in a bathtub for a little bit. I was on the floor multiple times. I wrote the score in a napkin. We went back to Bob's hot tub and we did a together episode. We talked about buying a movie theater. We, I talked about various hyper fixations that changed all through over. One of the earliest episodes of this year was actually Lens Chat with Mark part one. Which was in front of the fireplace at my house, right?

Mm-hmm. Yes, exactly. Dear Penthouse. Dear Penthouse did happen, yes. I think people were scarred for life when they heard the last story of that episode, but still extremely funny. The first episode, the first one of Wadey's Woodle philosophy hour was this year. Really? On January 19th 2024 Wadey's Woodle philosophy hour. We've done a couple of those says with that's been a recurrer recurring. No tier lists I don't think this year. I don't believe any tier lists. We still have time I could do a tier list of episodes I did think about that. I'm scanning over the list of episodes. I did think about that. I'm scanning over the episode names and I gotta say it's not enough for me to

remember what happened in most of them. Oh, I remember. Do you? I remember. Yeah. Squid Game 2. Don't fucking have a clue what happened there. I don't. I can fly. Oh, um. There's one called You'll Never Believe What Happened. No idea. There's one called, You'll Never Believe What Happened. No idea. There's one called, Mark is a Visionary. No idea. Oh, I got the Vision Pro. Right!

Mid-face maxing was this year. Oh, yeah. Was the distractible mascot this year? Yes. That was this year, I believe. So we created that mascot. I upgraded myself. What happened in the episode, Tear Down These Balls?

Wade hosted that one. What, Wade, what is that? What was the date on that one? March 11th, Tear Down These Balls, hosted by you, won by me. There's a description that still doesn't make it make sense. No, yeah, this doesn't make sense. Do you want me to read it or you? Read it, yeah, sorry.

In a world of surge pricing, beanie babies, kitkats and sperm, distractible always prospers. The fuck does that mean? Tear down these balls. What happened? I will say one of the funnier ones, just because, and I didn't even come up with it, Lixia and Sorstal, the sound bites for it, was animal noises.

That was good. Just from you guys' reactions to the animal noises, I fucking love that episode. So funny. You know, back whenever we first started keeping track of points, I didn't really mark down words for what each point was for,

so I don't know which one of these was tear down these balls. You just have a bunch of randomly scribbled points. For some of the earlier ones, yeah. Ah man, you actually have kept every record of it. I know we're supposed to. All of mine are all in one book, so I have every episode I've hosted this season

is all in the same one. Damn, I need to do that. February 6th is the very first one that I've got notes for, yeah. Damn, I gotta be better about that. Did we start keeping score this year as well? Is that this year? Yeah, I think so.

My first score is Pants, season four, episode five, March 15th is the first one that I have in this book. I don't know if I wrote down a couple earlier ones in other stuff, because I got this specifically to do that, obviously. I mean, I used to keep track on like, just like a notepad or something that we would delete it. But once we started to have to keep the record or whatever, have it written down, it's always been here.

So February 6th is the very first one I've gotten here. You know what happened in May of this year that I've still not let go of? What's that? Fucking 20 questions and the chapstick debacle. Right. Oh, man. That was in May of this year. That still haunts man. We have to- That was in May of this year. That still haunts me. We have to settle that.

We have to settle that once and for all, but not today. I would like to know what happened on this February 6th recording where Mark lost, maybe they're not minuses, but if they are, Mark, you lost like 30 points for Jesus. What? I got crucified Jesus, lenses, Jesus tragedy, Mark wrecked Jesus, plus eight points for repairing things.

Interesting. I don't know what happened. Fascinating. Anyway, so the episode, another episode is Nied Wind. That is the, the deer penthouse forum. There's a part one and a part two of that part one also. Hilarious. So many, many, many laughs this year.

Twenty easy questions was this year. What was that wall, guys? Adrian! Oh, God. What was the- what was the treaty, though? That's the one no one can- Westphalia! Westphalia! Yeah, that's the one. There you go.

Westphalia! Fuck, I was gonna say Versailles again. Damn it. What was the element? Astonium. That's really close. Astatine! Astatine! Ah, see? Easy questionsium. That's really close. Astatine. Astatine. Ah, see, easy questions.

Easy questions. Another one. Uh, I honestly don't remember. Those are the ones I always remember because they're funny. I don't really... I didn't get any of those. Well, no, I would have gotten the first one right. Yeah, you got Hadrian.

Well, there were 17 other questions, so I can't remember either. Regardless, it's been a banger year for Distractable, but I want to know. It's been a banger year for distractible, but I want to know Has it been a banger year for us as people? What have we not done in accordance with our own goals this year because i'll i'll tell you guys I had a lot of goals this year. I thought the movie would be that's probably my biggest one Spring right? I mean if we're if i'm gonna kick it off i I'm gonna kick it off hard because look everyone listening to it was like Where's Aaron Lohan? Where's Aaron Lohan?

I fucking thought the same thing. Where the fuck is that movie? Why isn't it out yet? Wait you lost it? Yeah I can't find it man it's gone. Hopefully someone turns it up and returns it. Maybe. That is probably the biggest one that I was like,, but it's not for lack of trying I did at least try at that one because I felt like I put in a ton of work into it and I have and I still Have work left to do on it There's still conversation to be had and the the sound is being finalized and so it's still got a little bit to go But it's mostly there and I'm very proud of what it is

But this battle has been very uphill the other things that I haven't accomplished this year is I didn't study a bit of Korean, even a tiny bit of Korean this year, even from your one note card. And that wasn't for Korean. I wished it was. One vocab word would have been an improvement on this year as opposed to the nothing that I did. And it's, it's a shame because I, my, my excuse before was that I had no time. And there were many times in this year where I did not have a single second to spare, but let's be honest, I've been playing a lot of bilateral. If those bilateral cards had Korean on them, like just like just if there was some vocab bilateral game.

Oh, you could set it to Korean. Oh, imagine. Can you do that? No, I just like if you could set it to Korea, that'd be sick. Oh man, if they could make language learning as fun as that card game, it would be so easy to learn. Wait, wait, what's your highest? Do you know what your highest hand is? No, I think I've only gotten like a couple million.

I don't understand how people get into the ten exponential power of numbers. My best hand is 35.6 million. 35 million? 35.6 million. How in the, I've been, I put a lot, wait, have you played this game yet? I haven't, I, dude, don't, you'll get stuck on it. That's the thing is, my best hand is 35.6 million,

but my progression is, I'm at like 21% overall progression. I don't, I have maybe 20 hours total played in this game Yeah, cuz it's on my I got on my phone and that's the only place I play it and it's like it's awesome Anyway, I don't know what half this is cuz I'm only 16% and I feel like I've beaten the game a couple times But then I realize like I see other people that have like I score of like 3.3 to the power of 3e to the power of 26 or something like that I don't my highest hand is 1.5 million So 1.5 million is my highest and I had some pretty what I felt was pretty good multipliers

Multiplying the multipliers and I was like, okay, I got I got this. My name is Markiplier. I know how to do multiplier I got it and no no not at all. I still lose on like round four sometimes to stupid dude. It happens. No, it's all, it's all about the draw. Like I don't know if there's a point where you get to start with more stuff. That's more consistent, but it's you can still lose in the first round. Oh shit. He's in there. All right. Play it. Play it. All right. Maybe not right now, I guess, but he can do what he wants.

Anyway, it's an awesome game. It's very fun. I got an ace. Nope. All right. Maybe not right now, I guess, but. Yeah, he can do what he wants. Anyway, it's an awesome game. It's very fun. I got an ace. Nope, nevermind. There's a hilarious back and forth that the developer was doing with Peggy 18, because in Europe, they rated this game Peggy 18. For gambling?

Yeah, apparently. Well, that makes sense, because there's so much gambling in it. Oh, yes, so much. I think it's the Lusty Joker that really got him that one. Not okay, apparently. Well, that makes sense, because there's so much gambling in it. Oh, yes, so much. I think it's the Lusty Joker that really got him that one. Not okay, man. It's also a really good football play. Peggy 18, Peggy 18, Sandra 21, 21, hut!

This guy's played football before, you can tell. Yeah, you don't know Peggy Sandra 21, 18? It's also my favorite Bible verse. Are you Peyton Manning? I'm gonna gloss over that, because we're're getting off topic and I'm bringing it back around to regrets. Because I didn't learn Korean and I didn't item, I haven't worked out at all. Although my server building has gotten me a little bit better in shape and weirdly more

conditioning, I have not accomplished anything that I really set out to do this year. Are you guys the same? I have a couple of regrets here. This is a very adult niche regret of being like your own business owner, but I have meant to all year get health insurance through my business. So that way, like I'm not just paying it all

out of my personal pocket every month. Haven't done it. This was the maple syrup, I believe year, where I had to replace the furnace and AC unit because the weird maple syrup smell outside, which I think actually in two days I'm due to change the furnace filter. Yay, another adulting fun.

That takes like five seconds. I just don't want to do it. Did I tell you about the water filter, Snafu? No. So we have filtered water and you have to change out, like the filter is like a bottle that just like screws in and you're supposed to change it every six months. So I went to change it a month ago,

right before we had visitors. I mean like the day before we had visitors and Molly had just like cleaned up the kitchen, we'd cleaned the house, everything was like sparkly shiny. I was like, you know what? I'm gonna go ahead and change out this water filter too. Even have fresh water for everyone when they get here. This is gonna be great.

And I've read the instructions are like, easy to change filter. Don't even need to shut the water off. Just unscrew, pop the new one in, screw it in, you're done. And I was like, how do you filter the water if it doesn't go into the water? Why would you not have to shut the water off? But all right, if they say so,

I start to unscrew the old one. Unscrew. Water everywhere. Is this the one in your fridge? No, no, it's under the sink. Like we have the kitchen faucet has like another little filtered water faucet. No, you probably should have turned the water off.

Yeah. Yeah, I really thought I should have. And you know, under the sink, there's all those little levers that turn off water to different things. Yeah, there's probably like a separate shutoff just for that one thing I bet. Well, I panicked and I was like,

I don't know which one of these it is. Let me run down and shut off the main water one thing I bet. Well, I panicked and I was like, I don't know which one of these it is. Let me run down and shut off the main water valve. Oh no. So I ran down, shut off the main water valve, ran back up and guess what? There's still water in the pipes after you do that. Pouring out all over the wood floor. It's all a disaster.

Molly's grabbing towels. It's a mess. You know, if you had just screwed that back in, it might've. I tried and even like once I don't know once that seal was wet it was like oh I'm not going back in bitches but eventually I turned off man once you start flipping those things under the sink they work a lot quicker than the water main shut off oh yeah I know those are that's like it's what they're for but that cabinet never been cleaner before the good old

I had to have one good water scare this year I think we replaced toilets this year that might have been last year But we replaced some toilets again all the funhouse stuff man all the funhouse stuff I don't know if those count as regrets, but they're certainly like dings on the fun that this year had I mean, it sounds like you regret not turning the water off. That's for sure I regret not flipping that little handle right away too. It's really easy. Once the water's off,

those filters could not be easier to change out. Yeah, no. It's like putting a cap on a water bottle. It's so simple with that. When there's water not pouring out, it's crazy how easy it is to screw that in. It's totally understandable for me to do this because I've been doing a lot of water cooling

and I have made some really stupid boneheaded decisions about the wrong thing to unscrew at the wrong time. The difference is I'm surrounded by very sensitive electronics. Even a drop gets in one of those power supplies it's gonna explode. Maybe. I had something that was not my fault that I didn't realize was an issue because I had one it was a pre-built like mount for a CPU so you put it on there it's cooler with like pre-piped you know tubing to go through so you can just plug it in something but it had an adapter at the end that I didn't have so I was just going to cut it off and replace it because I'm like I was cutting all this tubing anyway I'm like it looks like

high quality tubing but it still cuts I didn't realize this thing was pre-filled which to me makes no sense at all so all the sudden I cut it I don't know why it was pressurized but it was pressurized this stream of viscous green goo that I've never seen in my life like cartoon radioactive material goes and is getting everywhere but thankfully it's going against the wall and not into the server if I had been pointed that way right into the server thankfully right against the wall so it was like pressurized though huh they must they must like vacuum prime those like pull a vacuum and then just like open a valve and it's all and sucks it in and I probably yeah because it was it was

sealed with like quick release couplings at the end and I was like that's cool but it I didn't have the connectors for it but I have connectors for other ones as it's getting all over the wall and it looks like you know an alien just like got shot and the green acidic blood just went against the wall and all over my hand as well I remember seeing a warning on the box that said warning contains per chlorate materials it's hazardous waste and I'm like what in this could possibly be hazardous waste? Oh I bet it's that green stuff. Look at the green stuff on the wall and on my head. Spitting it out. I had already taste tested it at that point so I was like I wonder what this is.

My instinct was just aim it in my mouth so I I was all, oh, I have to contain the flow. So I looked up what perchlorates do and perchlorates, they disrupt the function of the thyroid gland by interfering with the iodide uptake in thyroid hormone productions. Well, that's kind of important. Good thing that's not in your hands. Good thing.

So I'll probably be fine. Did you consult anyone or just go wash your hands and just like, ah. I don't know. I don't know what I do. Anyway, this was a few days ago. Hello, poison control, I got a percolate on my hands. Honestly, maybe I should call them

because it's probably not great. It doesn't sound like it's completely harmless. It sounds like it could do some stuff. But then again, I have been very attentive to iodide and I went on many a ramble about iodide in salt and how people should have that and not get just any salt that says, just a stocking iodide, a necessary nutrient because it's very good for you and your thyroid uses that. And this is the one thing that stops it. Mm. I'm just gonna have a bunch of extra iodide in there now. So I've got a prescription to eat as much salt as I want. That's what I hear.

Anyway, that's, it might also not be in that fluid because I've never encountered another coolant that has a warning like that on it. So who knows what it is, but anyway, I got green goop everywhere. Someone came to my chat the other day asking about, what was it, the sugary fruit thing? Oobly, albly, weebly? Oobly albly weebly.

Oobly weebly fruit? It's so funny because I don't know how many times I said brazine in there was the actual sugar And I said the it's from the oobly fruit and everyone was like yeah oobly sugar and i'm like wow People really just latch on to one thing more than the other. It's brazine, which is the thing. The oobly is the fruit I don't need a I don't have a kilogram. I got it by the way Oh, I got it. I got it. Did you did you stab a knife into it when you got there and take your pinky and like? Do you want to see it kind of yeah, let me go get it. Yeah All right handshake, okay. Yeah, how can we mess this up? He's hosting I just want to scare him again

I visit the viewers won't find this very entertaining. We could just do nothing just be smug Oh, I agree. Just fake handshake him. Yeah, I think maybe you For it as things as things go on you should just like randomly just be like, oh is that one? And I'll just be like, yep, okay, and then like pretend like you're like pretend like you're writing something or whatever Just have an ongoing bit Okay, so yeah yeah my mom had moved it so anyway this is the bra scene right yeah man we can see it yeah let me show you that looks like a thing you should definitely ingest a lot of I don't know

why it wasn't flagged immediately just cuz Man if you ever want to import a bunch of white powder apparently brassians your secret ticket Yeah, apparently it was really funny because it came with a material data safety sheet Which if you know is when you have any kind of material usually in a laboratory setting it has a safety sheet to tell you What to do if you know something goes wrong, and so this is a sugar And it's like yeah Yeah, use in baking, it's heat safe. And then on the material data sheet it said, If you get it in your mouth, uh, wash out, like, as soon as possible. Contact poison control.

Make sure you have a chemical shower and an eye wash station nearby. I'm really hoping they just copy and pasted the wrong thing. Ha ha ha ha! Have you tried any of it yet? I tried it, yes. It is super weird. How do you ingest it without putting it in your mouth? I think I really do think that was the wrong thing because it said a lot of things that didn't gel with what it was. Even the description of it wasn't right. It was talking about a brown powder. Are you sure you got the right product? Yes, because I tasted it, so I know it's good. So what's really weird is like it at first it's super strong because it's a thousand times sweeter than sugar is, but it it definitely tastes sweet, but it's a different kind of sweetness,

right? And a tiny, tiniest, tiniest little, little itty bitty like tip of my pinky, dip it in, fills your entire mouth. It feels like every surface in your mouth is suddenly coated in this sweet stuff. And it's so aggressive that it's not exactly pleasant. And the sweetness lingers in your mouth for like 10 minutes. It is weird. It's super weird. Bob, is that one? Yeah. for like 10 minutes. It is weird. It's super weird. Bob, is that one? Yeah. Yeah, shut up. Shut up, the both of ya.

The both of ya. You're not in charge of any points here, so it don't matter. Sure do. It don't matter. New year, new us. New year, new us. It's not in the new year yet, man. Anyway, so with this, I believe this stuff would work really well with like, I wanna try to make a lemonade out of it,

because I believe that if I, I believe it would go well with like, I want to try to make a lemonade out of it because I believe that if I I believe it would go well with a tart or sour thing to balance out the tartness and I could use very little of it You should get a bag of citric acid and then come up with a powder to powder ratio and you could just make like eaten powder Maybe would it counter spice like a ghost pepper with two dots of braseed? It would counter it right out, I'm sure. And I actually, one of the first things I said to Amy was that like, what if instead of the cinnamon challenge, I did the braseen challenge and I tried to eat a whole spoonful of this without any water. Oh man. Oh no. You mean

that stuff that shows up with adult ingest warning. I think it's a great idea That was not applicable to this. I don't think that that was related I'm not sure keep that sheet around just in case you end up going to the hospital though You read the warnings on this right? Yes. I knew it was wrong while my family was in town She wanted me to invite friends for dinner And so I of course being guy that I am said you want to try some brazine to everyone at the table and they were like yeah yeah we do so I put powder on a plate and I use a knife to divvy it up into little sections and my cousin comes over Yodjin comes over and she's just looking at the plate like mmmm she doesn't speak English perfectly so it's just like she doesn't know how to ask if we're doing drugs or not.

And I don't know how to say what we're doing, so I didn't even bother. Anyways, so everyone tries it and it ruins the meal for everyone because it was right before dinner. It didn't ruin it entirely, but everything after that tasted sweet. Every single thing we ate. Especially the soup. So when I- when I- the rest of the food got okay after a few minutes, but then the soup stayed sweet for me the entire time every time I went to must have like the powder I was hiding in your mouth and the soup was like Dissolving it and finding it in all the little and your gums and whatever when they say a thousand times sweeter than sugar They just mean like you only need one one thousandth of this to match the effect of sugar.

And they are not lying. I don't have a measuring cup like that. Well, we're talking about that in the context of it's sweet, but it's protein based, right? Yes. Yeah. So it's not actually a good source of protein. It's just interesting that it's not, it has no glycemic response. Yes, exactly. Where's my one four thousandth cup of sugar?

Yeah. All right, these cookies, CookerSB calls for one cup of sugar. So let's run that conversion. I don't even know if you could, what's one, what's one one thousandth of a cup? A micro teaspoon. I think the imperial system fails at scales like this.

Damn it, we should have used Algae-kilograms. That's the word. Algae-kilograms, that's the word. Algae-kilograms, yes. Is that what they use, though, for in London? Yeah, where the Weebly fruit is imported from Africa. I think it would work well if you mixed it with a little bit of other artificial sweeteners and then also sugar, and you found a ratio,

because all of it balances it. I believe it helps balance all those others out. The internet is smart. Convert one cup into milliliters 236 point six milliliters approximately one one thousandth of that is point two three six milliliters It doesn't really work for powder measurement, but for a scale reference That's how much bros in you need for a cup of sugar That's so small a cup equals. Oh, so you were essentially pounding a cup of sugar. That's so small a cup equals Oh, so you were essentially pounding a cup of sugar or more depending on how much of that stuff you were putting in your mouth

Yeah, I wonder why it tasted so sweet. Anyway, you want to try some I honestly do but I don't think the internet is capable of that Quite yet. That's crazy. You only need one grain per day and you have a whole bag of it Yeah, well you have like a lifetime supply of that shit now I was wondering why a kilogram costs $270 It makes a lot of sense. So that's a kilogram. I don't know how dense it is How many milliliters in a kilogram? Oh, man, it's one liter of water is a one kilogram You have two thousand three hundred sixty5 cups of sugar in that bag I just did math in my head. It's probably wrong, but no, I think you might be right

Theoretical equivalent of 2,300 thousand cups of sugar. Hey for 200 bucks. That's a deal. That's not bad I'll be pissed if my neighbor comes over and asks for a cup of I have a cup of brazine. What are you making? That's my entire warehouse of sugar. World's largest pancakes. I think I think some people listening to this podcast may hear me talk about some random bullshit and assume that I'm just talking about it in a very theoretical sense. I've gotten everything that I've talked about. I have obtained every single thing that I have mentioned that I am obsessed with.

I have a bucket full of Glauber salt. I have a lot of it. It's sitting in a tub outside. I can't wait to see that cooling system. I'm ready for it. I have a theory to make it work that would simplify a lot of things. I realize-

Needs more cowbell. God no, please no. But I have a theory of how it I realize more cowbell. God no. Please no. But I have a theory of how it could work, but I won't get into it because I've been yapping way too much for this episode. And you guys, I need to hear your regrets. Well, Wade was talking. I was trying to think about regrets. I think we talked about New Year's resolutions at the end of last year. And I basically said, I don't do that because I am low. The obvious one for me is I don't think I've worked out maybe five times this year. Probably not enough to see results.

What about getting your fridge from a major corporation? I did have to buy a fridge again this year. That was a pretty big failure. I was trying not to do a plot. You did like, you know, house and appliance based failures. I was trying to do other stuff. We're adults here. We're allowed to have adult regrets.

All right. This is real. And people have been talking about this since I mentioned it in passing. My car, my Subaru. I feel a little bit like a failure for that. I am selling it. It will be gone soon. It was a good car and it was like a dream car and I did all the stuff to it that I wanted to do.

I think I'm not as much of a car guy as I thought I was. I think that's the thing because it wasn't really like a hyper fixation. I've always liked cars and I still like cars. I still just like go on Cars and Bids and websites like that and look and be like oh there's a there's a 1992 Fox Body Mustang. Oh, it's a roller chassis. Just bring your own engine and transmission. I don't know if I can do that. It's hard. It's such a hard hobby. I'm so used to hobbies being more like computers where it's like a huge pain in the ass and you have to learn some stuff. To do car shit, you need like, you know, like a big space.

And also you need to be really willing to crawl underneath of a thing that weighs several thousand pounds and is probably not gonna fall over on the things that you lifted it up and set it on. Jack stands are very safe. It's probably fine. But it does make me feel a little bit like a poser. I talked a lot about cars this year,

and I talked about that Subaru a lot over the last couple of years. I think my car era is over, guys. I think I'm a fake car guy. It's more like a realization, because it wasn't really a resolution that I had, but it feels like a failure. It's not, but it feels like a failure.

That qualifies. I think so, because you reach the end of the road and you're like, oh man I feel like it wasn't as satisfying as it should have been especially if it was like something you thought about in the long run You know what you could be though Bob and mark you as well I told Bob this earlier I got an email from a guy works in the fossil industry Why hook us up with some really expensive fossils we could buy. I was never in on fossils That was a you and mark thing, just to be clear. I think when you reach this age,

we have a few paths ahead of us that are slowly diminishing. And if car guy isn't your thing, then you've got gun guy and way too political guy. Those are the only two other options? Those could be the same thing actually. Those most likely are the same thing. Woodworking guy. Woodworking, you could do woodworking. Can I be golf guy? No. Oh. Well you can, but like golf is what

you do when you're not doing one of the other things. Wait, we've talked about this I think. I might be a woodworking guy. I have dreams. I'm that guy, like I have no woodworking skill in a random smattering of tools for things I have projects I've done one time ever. But I'll look at videos online where someone is like, I built this custom fit cabinet. It fits perfectly in this spot. It's trimmed in. And I look and I'm like, yeah, I could definitely do that.

You get some two by fours, you build the base, get some nice plywood, you know, some finished plywood, use a little iron on veneer on the edges there. You get some nice, I could do that. Never done it in my entire life. The tulliest tool I own is the cheapest circular saw. I could buy it at Lowe's one time when I needed to build a step in the garage out of like 2x4s and 2x6s. But I absolutely could be woodworking guy. Maybe that's my new era this year. What if I did that? Do you guys want some

woodworking stuff? I would love for you to become a woodworking guy. Jason is big woodworking guy, not my brother. Pam's Jason. He's huge into woodworking. He just builds stuff all the time, and he has the tools for it, and he understands the tools, and it's like it combines a lot of different little hobbies. And it's like, oh man, that's really cool. Like he's gonna get a CNC, a wood CNC soon.

I got him like a low powered laser, like a laser cutter. It doesn't take any gas, like it's a pure just like electric laser, which you know, has limitations in the amount of power that it can put out. But he was, he can definitely etch into things, burn like designs into wood and cut through some things. And it's like, it's like he, he really does make a lot of stuff and it's really cool. I just go to Ryobi days and I look around and I'm like, I'll buy this tool and then I never use it because I don't have anything to use it for.

That's kind of where I'm at right now. This is turning me on to, I don't know if this is a thing I will do. This is not a defined personality you've said I could have. There's a YouTube channel called Strange Parts who is a guy who lived in China and shopped at the marketplaces

for like secondhand iPhone parts and stuff. And he's done a lot of videos about customizing iPhones and things. Recently he released a video, I think it's his most recent video still, he made his own iPhone, like the entire enclosure, everything except for the screen and the internals, out of billet aluminum. He started with a block of aluminum and fully machined including threaded screw holes and an undercut around the edge of the case, fully measured and machined just with his own measuring techniques and machining.

And he had to make like machine fixtures. It's like a little tabletop CNC, so it's not like a machinist or whatever, but it's, he did these processes. He built his own fixtures to hold the phone at very specific angles and it's fascinating. It's a 30 minute-ish video. If that's part of woodworking, I could definitely get into that. And it's well respected. I think of all the hobbies that you could have, people go like woodworking and they're

like, hell yeah, that's awesome. Meanwhile, I got my Glauber salt and servers and people just spit on me as I walked down the street. Dude, people do not respect the Glauber salts at all. They don't at all respect the clout results. Cooperative board games, Legos, and video games. I am a child. None of those can be your personality.

We need some stronger stuff here. I just downloaded Bellatro. Okay, all right, Bellatro point, you get one. Oh, you can be Bellatro guy? I already, I have the highest score here. I am Bellatro guy here. You just said I wasn't strong enough of a personality I didn't realize Bellatro was that strong

I play Bellatro when i'm half asleep on the toilet or when the baby won't sleep and i'm trying to get him to sleep But i'm bored because it's middle of the night video games. Yeah are not well-respected There's still people to this day We've talked about before the don't respect video game playing as like an actual hobby They think we should grow up and do something with our lives like woodworking. Dude, D&D on every Wednesday, video games. I'm living the high life. That's what I'm starting to realize. Wade actually is living such a fulfilling, beautiful life compared to us who are always searching for the next high. You guys are always looking. I'm here, man.

You found that Dragon Ball Z gotcha game six years ago and you stuck with it. I've not played that in like two months. Dragon Ball Z gotcha game six years ago and you stuck with it. I've not played that in like two months. What are your current mobile game obsessions then? Other than I assume Bellatro. I'm not really doing much on mobile, I'll be honest with you. It's been computer stuff. I've been. Wait, I brought this on us. Never mind. I'm sorry. He's about to say it. He's going to say it.

It's been Diablo 4, Path of Exile. OK. You know, you know, a weird one. I've done I've been playing, but I've been watching and learning know what, you know a weird one? I've done, I've been playing, but I've been watching and learning. Dude, this has helped me go to sleep so quick, but also like I actually am interested is farm simulator 25 videos.

I remember us playing it and I didn't know what the hell, I was like, don't you ride the tractor then it just does stuff, but there's like seeders, there's harvesters, there's cultivators, weeders. When someone knows what they're doing, oh, it's impressive. It is really, really satisfying. You know what intrusive thought I have about that is I really like the farm sim games. You know that Logitech makes a full desk mount setup where you know how they have like racing

wheels, right? Where it's like a steering wheel. They have a setup that's a farming simulator three module setup where it's like the center one is like a steering wheel with some buttons and things. And then there's like a joystick one for like operating the tools and switching. And then there's another one that's just like a big switch panel that's just got like 20 switches on it. And so you could be, you could have your whole like tractor cockpit setup. I never would ever buy that. But also every time I see it, especially if it goes on sale, because I get like sale emails

and stuff and it's like, Hmm, it's on sale. Usually it costs $350. It's only $300 right now for a game I'll play once a year, but I'll play it right. You know? But man, that does that does that look fun. I'm watching a guy whose name is Syrup play Farm Simulator 25. You watch the e-sports stuff? I think I've talked about that way a long time ago on this show, but do you watch the Farm Sim e-sports? Cause it's a whole league. There's a league?

It's a whole thing. It's a specific, there's a specific field set up and it's the point is you harvest a field, you bail it and then you put it into your barn as efficiently as possible. But the, you, it's, there's a drafting system for the vehicles. So before the round starts, there's like a lineup of all the vehicle options. There's only one of each one.

And teams take turn drafting each vehicle strategically because they have different strengths. And then there's some kind of system where it's like there's bridges where you have to go over the bridge to get from your field to your barn to store your bales. But you can make your opponent's bridge raise, which means they have to go over the bridge to get from your field to your barn to store your bales But you can make your opponent's bridge raise which means they have to like take the long way around Farmsim eSports hot stuff the one I'm watching this dude's doing like a rags to riches thing where he started with a hundred thousand And he can only use his own equipment no land nothing at the start

He'll kind of do like little musical speed ups for some of like the weeding and harvesting and dude I'm interested he's playing he's like talking about his strategy what he's going to be buying how he's spending his money and then like he'll do the like time lapse of like doing the fields. I go to sleep like a baby it's like I'm riding that tractor. It's been the cure for my lack of sleep and then I wake up all sad because like the last few minutes of the video where he's like doing more stuff like I gotta re-watch that tomorrow because I slept through it. That is good stuff, but that's not failing. You're just winning too hard. What can I say man? All I do is win, win, win no matter what.

All right, well speaking of winning, we are coming to the close of this episode and I don't know if we've really done a full recap of what this year has been, but I will say it's been fun. For all the ups and downs and all that we've done in all the random obsessions we've had I think this this podcast is better than ever and I'm very proud of it I am surprised this podcast is still fun Not in like a pessimistic way of like oh, I knew it would suck eventually But like we have been doing it for a long time and we've been doing two episodes a week now for quite a long time I'll almost like a year and a half, almost two years. I thought it would get harder and it

is a lot of time we have to record quite a bit to get two out a week. It's still fun though. We still have fun doing it. I am surprised about that. It's a good thing, but it's surprising. Yeah, who knows what next year is going to have. I hope if, just to touch on resolutions, I do want to get back into Korean learning. If Iron Lung isn't out next year... No, no. I'm gonna take the entire movie, put it on a hard drive, and I'm gonna launch it from a catapult or trebuchet, and I'm gonna shoot it with a cannon. And I'll do that repeatedly until I hit it midair.

That'd be fun. That'd be fun. Yeah. Then no one will ever get to experience what it is. Just be one private little thing just for you and any anyone who worked on it with you But I will close it by saying like there's some very optimistic things about it actually coming out So I'm very happy and I think it's gonna be really cool Anyway, any final thoughts you guys before I read the score? I think this was also the year that Shakira was on Jimmy Fallon and had a lie detector test taken, which proved her hips don't lie.

That's good, I'll give Shakira a point. Another win. This is about wins, right? You know what? For you, it is, but that didn't earn you a lot of points. So I go first, I got a cowbell point, but that's it. Shakira got a truth point. Wade, you got points for a cookie refund.

Oh, you had to give the cookie back to James. I denied. I did not give him what he wanted. You got a California point. Bob, before you protest, you also got a California point. So you both got it at the same time. Why turn water off for the water failure? And then I gave you another point for Bellatro, but I did realize that Bob has been playing Bellatro more. So he got a high score point and I scratched yours out for Bellatro and I guess I just Revealed how many points you have versus Puff so I guess I really spoiled what's going on.

Go ahead. No, no, yeah, sorry about that. Um, hey the listeners still have no idea They have no idea and then you got it. You got a he's here point, right? And that sounds ominous, but that's because you're already there you made it this year you did what you set out to do you're still doing it because you set out to do it so long ago and you accomplished all your goals and dreams you're just coasting now you're living the life you're already here so you get that point Bob you got a silent baby point you got a California point you got high score for Bellatro as the resident among us three Bellatro

champion we will reevaluate that with the new year He didn't work out quite enough your car poser, but also I gave you a woodworking point because I have a feeling you're gonna fail Okay, well I'm excited to get into that I guess and see where that leads. We have no faith in Bob point No, I mean, it's not like that man. Why even try Bob? You've already lost the point Well, you put it like that. No, actually you gained the point if you fail But I'll retroactively take it away next year if you actually succeed so well now I could just say that I failed I'll just make some bad wood stuff and you'll see I could just say that I failed. I'll just make some bad wood stuff and you'll see

May I throw something in here? I don't care if there's points or not I just got a message like a ping from my D&D group and I was like, I wonder what it is I don't know what's going on, but there's a conversation. The last sentence is just man porn in the 90s was wrong And I just thought I would share that tidbit of information with you all I thought you're gonna say they kicked you out because that would be quite the Failure, but no, I mean that sounds accurate. I gotta be honest not well versed in 90s porn. All right Well, I'm sorry to all the fans of 90s porn out there. We're shitting on your dreams and your hopes This was the year we called birds the porn guy, which is a nickname that he still can't get away from. Oh, well, that's that's lovely That's fun. We have fun. We do at everyone else's expense. Mm-hmm. We sure do. And at everyone else's expense, Bob has won the episode with six points! Yes!

That's all it took? I had at least that many. You had this many. You had four. You would have had five with the Bellator point, but even then you wouldn't have had enough. So with the commanding two-point lead Bobby take this with a sweep All right, don't celebrate too hard guys. All right, Jesus Christ. Why would I celebrate? I lost! I was celebrating internally. Wait, please fill the the empty space with your regrets about not winning this episode. Really thought I crushed it. Really thought that my Ohio earthquake downloading Bellatro talking about more house, water, toilet issues. I thought there were so many regrets,

my health insurance didn't even make the list of my regrets. Oh, I forgot about that. Yeah, that's crazy. But you know, it's all fair and fun here. The win was stolen, but that's 2024 in a nutshell. I'm winning everywhere except for on Distractible. That's my regret regret being here and losing I'm giving you the health insurance points, but it still doesn't change the outcome, but it's on the record boy

I wish I had kept the record of all that napkin with the hot sauce on it is probably still at that Airbnb They probably framed it. I hope so probably found it. They were cleaning up and they found that they were like, oh This would be a piece of history Yes, one can only hope. Bob, you won. Congratulations. How do you feel? I feel like I deserved it. I won because it's been such a hard year, filled with so many failures that Mark basically threw me a bone

because he felt like if I had one more tragic failure in my life, I might just quit the show entirely and go hide in a cave somewhere. So I appreciate that. You were pretty spot on with your assessments there, buddy. I really needed this one. Can't wait for the new year, you know? I remember, Bob, you did have a New Year's resolution that you failed miserably at. You said that you would not make a loser's speech this entire year.

Oh, I don't recall making a loser's speech. Did you? Did you get away with calling it some surreptitious name? No, I'm sure I did I just don't recall making a loser speech He's won so many times in a row now according to the thing I lost one episode ago I lost but I don't remember what I said So probably I didn't make a loser speech and that goes for the entire rest of the year as far as I know Okay retroactively everyone please sign that to be your memory and truth.

Man, have I only hosted three times since early November? I've had a rough end of the year, boys. One, two, three, since November 15th. You hosted two in the first half of November though. You can look forward to hosting the first episode of the new year and kicking us off great and strong with whatever the hell we're gonna be doing next year. Who? You!

I didn't win. Bob, right. Sorry. No, that's okay. Come on, man! Bob, you're gonna kick off the new year with the win. No, you still have a chance. You still have a chance. The next episode's still on like New Year's Eve or something. If you win the next one, Wade, you technically- oh, he left. Oh, no, he didn't. I thought this was the New Year's episode. That's why I made it all about the New Year's Eve or something. If you win the next one, Wade, you technically... Oh, he left. Oh no, he didn't.

I thought this was a New Year's episode. That's why I made it all about the New Year's. It is, but also, it is. Alright, we'll leave that enigma up to you guys listening and watching at home. Thank you everybody so much for being here for another year.
