thirds we got going on here. Two thirds of the cameras, Bob and I. One third of the cameras, Mark's nose up. Hello. Yeah. My chair, I think it's settled. It's settled at the bottom. Are you going to change your camera or are you going to put your chair back up?

Here we go again. Going back up. All right. We get to watch over the next 15 seconds as mark sinks again that's my big boy chair all right let's see if it stays up this time well if you're not watching the episode on video format you're gonna miss mark slowly sinking off the bottom of his camera over the course of the next hour yeah um but yeah how's that how's it going we always start with small talk and i i i observe traditions i will allow it so small

talk how other than mark's chair being broken and leaky apparently how's it going how you guys doing good good good good good you know i got a muffin oh what kind of muffin i can't blueberry the best that is possibly the best kind of muffin i ate so much pizza this morning that it gave me heartburn i can't eat pizza after like 10 p.m or i turn into a heartburn gremlin i i don't know what happened to me is like because i've been this is funny thing where i was doing that that dive for a while where i was trying to like slim down for uh the movie and i was just um and it worked but as soon as i started filming i was working so much and i was eating like three meals a day. I was eating well, but I was dropping weight still.

So I was like, it got to the point where my costume wasn't fitting anymore. Because like, I actually slimmed down so much. So then everyone like started a conspiracy to keep me eating more. And it was crazy because I would get a random third meal of the day. Because we get a great third meal of the day because we get the great breakfast great lunch and then uh the crafty guy kevin he would just start cooking me meals uh in the middle of the afternoon and just for me and then sometimes just for everybody if he could get like a good deal on like one of those large we got that concierge meal service is what

you're saying so this morning i we had pizza and and this morning I was like, I'm going to eat, I'm going to eat good. And so I had two slices of pizza, and then four garlic knots, and lots of garlic sauce, and lots of pizza sauce. I don't get heartburn a lot, but my esophagus burned more than it ever has. It was just like outrageous pain this morning.

So that was my morning. You're supposed to be dead air conditioning turn back oh you just see amy close the door slowly behind him and it's like oh no no i just like to keep the ghosts away for a while you know just like shouting around just turned on i don't know around a picture flies off the wall across the room behind him you're supposed to be dead i don't care uh let me turn my uh my air conditioning off so uh will doesn't hate me for the audio carry on the episode though yeah we'll

keep going all right he can't hear us. You win already, okay, Wade? Okay. I'm going to play it up in the episode like I really like Mark's answers to whatever. Should I make it as hard as possible for him to, like, agree that I should win? Like, he'll be like, there's no chance. Yeah, no, really antagonize. Like, antagonize me or whatever. Like, do whatever.

Just make it, like, no shot. And I'll, like, take points away from you or whatever. I'll make it seem like shot and i'll like take i'll like take points away from you whatever i'll make it seem like it's not even close perfect okay deal oh hey buddy what did i miss i was just small talk another small talk without you i guess yeah okay cool what's going on what's what's with your lives for me same baby stuff still sleeping problems still doesn't like bottles same thing as last time it's a i got two bites into a muffin all right our lives are not all as fascinating as yours with your leaky chair and your concierge service and movie filming you know i do you know i haven't having a problem uh my entire life mark whatever the

opposite of that thing where you're not able to maintain your weight you're losing weight accidentally even though you're eating i have the opposite of that where no matter what i've done or how much pizza i eat i always seem to gain weight and uh i i have a i have a craft person living in my house not making me food but it's not working i see i see i hired a tapeworm but the tapeworm just knocked on its job dude i would love a tapeworm come here steal some of them calories i don't eat those i don't think that's exactly how it works can we start a go tapeworm me for bob i think i think that's like straight out of like a 1920s diet ad. Safe. No side effects. Do you want to lose weight without changing a thing?

Dr. Scrom's tapeworms can do you right. Come get a jar of eggs. Mix them into your morning coffee for three days in a row, and you'll definitely get a tapeworm. And that little man will do all the work for you. You hold up the thing with the three little red lines. You're like, honey, I'm tapewormed.

We're tapewormed. Oh my god. The thing with the three little red lines you're like honey i'm tapewormed we're tapewormed oh my god the thing with the three little red lines like the birth detector but it's your it's your tapeworm detector what a reference i don't know if it was on purpose or not but you guys remember when we talked about birth detectors no way that's what i called pregnancy tests like on stream one time on accident i couldn't think of the word pregnancy test like hold on a birth detector you hold up the old birth detector uh-huh yeah so you know personal life stuff it's all going well it's all going well uh i do have a topic for today's and i don't think it's a repeat well there's only a 50 chance since you're hosting yeah it's not great

but we're gonna try it anyway uh and i i only i'll even tell you ahead of time what the topic is today we're going to be talking about firsts and specifically firsts in our lives first the first time we did or experienced things and i have a couple reasons i want to talk about this because we're going to talk about like childhood stuff you do a lot of things for the first time we did or experienced things and i have a couple reasons i want to talk about this because we're going to talk about like childhood stuff you do a lot of things for the first time when you're a kid i don't remember like a lot of that i'll be making all this up yeah well we can talk about that i'm just curious but anyway we're gonna be talking about firsts and so i've got a variety of things but the first first that i want to talk about is kind of a classic. Oh, and I'm just going to give you points.

This is, you know, the subreddit's always like, you guys changed. You don't do this. There's episodes where you just talk about stuff. There's good talk about stuff. There you go. Complainers. You got what you wanted. But the first one is very classic.

First day of school. And it can be the earliest first day of school that you do remember how far back does that go for you guys because i feel like the first day of school that i remember most is like middle school skipped over a lot of years there for me i have weird memories of kindergarten and i'm pretty sure it's not my first day i'm pretty sure it's a blur of that whole year that in my mind is one it's in one memory in my mind but i know it wasn't all from one day it's just like a memory of all of kindergarten for you or something yeah do you want me to just go are we gonna do like titles or something how do you want to talk about

it because i can go in i don't know if you need a second mark i can go in what i remember no i know i know if you guys let's do titles let's do that that sounds fun wait what's your title vomiting again well it doesn't sound like a first if it's again i'm just gonna say but i gotta minds what are those four i'm curious about both of these i'm honest pretty good titles but uh Mark wins the title. Wade gets to go first. Yes! Sorry. Fine for Mark.

Fine. It was a little too much. The first memory I have when I think about... I didn't go to preschool. I went one time. So I guess if you count preschool, I went one time with a friend to experience it. I remember there being...

In my brain, there was a trampoline. There can't possibly have been one. But in my brain, there was. And I had an apple. school at preschool like when i think about like my one day at preschool i ever had i in my head there was a trampoline and an apple and that's all i have and we're talking about kindergarten i remember waiting for the bus which there's nothing that interesting about it like the bus stop was like right in front of my driveway there just happened to be like another street that intersected right in front of my driveway and the bus stopped right there so i'd like walk up my driveway wait by the stop sign i remember a couple of the kids that i

got on the bus with kindergarten itself i remember being scared of tyler using safety scissors and cutting the tip of another kid's nose on the first day i again i don't think it was the first day but this is what i remember i don't know it was the first day but this is what i remember i don't know when the order of events but i do remember there was a girl who came in every single day she cried for her dad whenever she had to be like he got she got dropped off her dad was a firefighter i think and like he would come he was a cool dude but i remember her being like just so sad that he left. Every single day, she would cry until she threw up.

Like, every single day. And so my biggest memory of kindergarten is story time, sitting on a carpet, gathered around, listening to a book. But the smell of vomit when we sat on the floor. Because it was just like, so much. There was so much vomit. She got sick every day. It's really sad to think about. You know, she missed her dad that much.

But like at the time, it was just the smell of vomit. So I think of Tyler punching everybody, being scared of him, cutting a kid's nose, and vomit. What, Tyler from Go My Favorite Sports Team? Yeah. Tyler from the hit sports podcast, my favorite sports team i can't believe that when i listen to that top podcast i he sounds like such a nice guy and he's such a master of balls and holes um he is don't know about first day other than the i know the vomiting happened day one do you remember your motivation for trying to cut another child's nose off we were

sword fighting with scissors so it wasn't intentional that'll happen like there was no ill intent on either one of our parts we were just sword fighting with scissors and i got sent out into the hallway afterward my punishment for cutting this dude's nose with scissors was go sit in the hallway for a few minutes and tyler was already out there because he was already in trouble for something because i remember i walked out to sit on the floor and i looked over and saw him so i went to the other side of the hall to get away from him he was terrifying as a kid that's one of those young boy moments that i feel like all boys have where you were fighting and then you you sliced his nose and he was kind of like ah i don't know if he cried or not i mean we were

kindergarten so like you know we were all prone to like very easily crying at things of that age but like i don't remember him crying like you probably can't punish a kid by sending out in the hallway anymore right like i doubt they'd even let you do that i've always thought that the existing forms of school punishment were kind of insane a kid is like god i hate school i'm gonna act out and they're like no school for you get out of here you're suspended if you have no one watching over you and like you know and you're that young i feel like they were someone to be watching you at all times now maybe i'm wrong i don't know it just seems like one of those things they might not do probably not the approach anymore who knows

there's probably one kindergarten teacher for like 80 kindergartners so i actually like remember like my senses whenever i started talking about, like got that scent of vomit and cleaner combo because it happened so much in kindergarten that like whenever I had that memory came with the scent of sitting on the carpet and smelling that combination of cleaner and vomit. And it's awful. Did this girl at any point learn that this was going to happen and start vomiting into a toilet or a trash can or anything? Or was it always just like, oh, no. In the class. I feel like she spent i mean she cried for a very long time and she would like try to stop and start up again so i feel like it would just so randomly happen that she would burst out crying and then like get sick so it usually ended up on the floor yeah isn't that just a thing with kids where they

just vomit at any random time and just i mean that's kind of a baby thing but i feel like i feel like kindergarten you're five years old ish you're kind of i feel like that's the point where kids don't vomit uh randomly as much maybe they do i don't know i vomited on my ex's grandma once got her no we were in a car and i was in the back seat i really got sick and like there's sometimes where you get sick and there's nothing you can do. And it was just one of those moments. And she was sitting right in front of me. And it was just, she had her hair all nicely done and stuff, dude.

I feel so bad. I was outside the other day because I've been like on a set all day. So I don't see the sun a lot. So one weekend, like last weekend, I was out sitting on the back porch and I was getting some sun. And I was like, oh, that's nice for like 10 minutes and then i got 10 minutes on the other side i was like okay i don't want to get tan because i like change um but i sat on this like swinging hammock out back there and i sat on there for maybe like

a minute and then i was like nauseous for some reason i was like completely seasick motion sickness and i was like haha that's funny and then it kept getting worse and i was like uh guys we're going out to like go get korean barbecue or something and then i just kept like hold on and then i went to the bathroom i had to puke literally because i think it was just like the sun because your body makes a lot of vitamins when it gets sunlight i think it's just like a sudden surge of like these vitamins vitamin d and whatever else there and then i sit on the swing and i swing for a bit i had to puke and that was the first time i just had to puke at random this is concerning so either your weird diet things that you do the diet fads you try are killing you or you're getting older

because you started off today talking about your heartburn from eating pizza and now you're puking eating your korean barbecue from sitting on a hammock my my weird it's not weird my weird diet you do weird things i don't do weird things i do you're like i'm only gonna eat white cheeses for a month and then like the next month you're like i'm gonna sleep 15 minutes at a time that's a complete exaggeration you do weird shit and name another weird thing i do if you're so smart about my life mark doesn't drink anything that's thinner than jello that's a lie i okay i did try to eat a lot of sugar-free jello in my life okay okay i like how we can just make up weird shit and mark's like i never well there was that one time mark only wears left foot socks okay but that's just because I lose track of them.

How am I supposed to know what's up? And I do buy them in left and right pairs. I don't even have to do this. Bob's doing it for me. I guess Bob can take my point. No, you give me. What do you think you know about me? You know it.

Yeah, do one, Wade. Do one. You're so weird that you grow your hair out to weird lengths and you dye it weird colors sometimes and then you look really nice with it one way and you're like, no, what if I ruin it and then I eat only cow feet and chicken legs for a month? Where did you go with that one?

My hair didn't make... I don't know, man. You said to do one! I just taught! Did you hear my examples that I gave you? You gotta pick a thing and then make it weird. Any arbitrary thing. You just pay a mark. Mark brushes his teeth, but only with sticks.

It's a fad. You use the bark on the stick to clean your teeth. It's true, actually. Bark is better than bristles for getting between the teeth. Because if the bark's between your teeth, food can't get there. Anyway, whatever. This is dumb i'm talking about my kindergarten tell me what was your uh title again mark what are those for

what that's what i said it earlier you said you gave me a point oh what are those for i thought you were asking me what titles were for i was like what do you mean no it's so that i know what your story is about mark title what are those for uh what are those for got it private school sorry continue so yeah it's it wasn't a private school it's called calvary christian academy uh it was a church basically and a tiny one at that um and they had like a school program i don't know when i say this thing was small like imagine the smallest church you have in your town that's about it was it a cult no well that depends on your definition of church really

so a lot of religions could but anyway let's not get into that discussion now my first memory of the school day that i went is kind of a blur but i do remember the first time i was dropped there dropped there specifically for school and it was for kindergarten and i had a backpack and i didn't understand what a backpack was about and i didn't understand why i needed a backpack or what was supposed to go in my backpack or why i carried it on my back i didn't understand backpack threw me off a lot i didn't get it it made no sense to me and then um i had always looked at these in the church because, again, it's a very small church and they had classrooms in the back and which is like two rooms in the back, one across the hall't reach and then wooden cubes for things. And they were always empty. And I'm like, what are those for? What are those for? What are those for? It's super weird. What are those for? Why are these empty? Why are those, why is this wooden sticks on the thing?

And I would ask him, I either, you know, my parents would tell me what it was and it went like right through my brain. But when I showed up for the first day with my backpack my tiny little backpack and then i walked up and they told me okay put your bag on the hook like my whole brain exploded neurons connecting you know go and i became obsessed with the cubby holes like and i i just like i was like obsessed with like this story so it's like this is my it's my space from stuff and then the concept of my stuff versus other people's stuff started flooding into my head like like honestly people have different stuff and there's different people like it was a very bizarre time and I don't remember anything else of any kind of experience in like first grade or

kindergarten stuff like that but i remember just sitting there like you just unlocked something in my brain too really i do think that's an important part of what you're supposed to learn in kindergarten i just love the idea like you're standing there frozen and you're just like and the teacher comes up and is like mark are you mark are you okay and you just turn and you're like i'm learning i'm learning things like your brain is exploding inside yeah no that was that was a weird moment um and then it was like you know the rest of it's a blur you know but it's kindergarten which is basically just draw for a bit now sleep sleep now lights are going out i forgot all about nap time like i did not have any recollection of that whatsoever until you

brought up like the my space and i was like i was kind of like the space i had to sleep we slept i never could sleep i couldn't either i probably did but like it was always like this you know my head's down i'm just looking yeah i feel like that's my memory but i probably did eventually fall asleep that young oh yeah i probably fell asleep too but who knows all right yeah you you've unlocked something for me as well but it's not as positive of a memory you know my big memory is from kindergarten they required you to have a box with your name on it with extra pants and extra underwear and i'm not going to talk about specifically why but let's just say i was a heavy user of my box allocation i was a frequent box visitor and my teacher knew right where my box was uh-huh yeah

stupid box that that was the thing too this is the thing that happens that box is like it burned into my memory because it was uh it we use it all the time at school is very embarrassing that box lived in our house forever it had my name written on it in sharpie and as soon as i didn't need it at school anymore it became like a box where you keep the whatever's in the closet and every time i go in that closet you see the box and you're like piss box hey piss box i'm glad we keep gloves in you now you used to hold pissy pants it's the same box man that's weird i hope you cleaned it how do you clean a cardboard box how do you know it was it was plastic it was like a tupperware right it's like a plastic it's a very elaborate my dad carved it out of an old tree out of steel it's a family piss box it

was made out of human skin really my father's before me and his father's before him have passed this piss box down. Now it's yours. Actually, generations of hair lacquered into the surface. The latch is actually just my grandparents' hair. See the jewels? They're not baby teeth. I knew it was teeth. I knew it.

We had the same idea. Of course it's teeth. Of course it's teeth. I knew it. We had the same idea. Of course it's teeth. Of course it's teeth. Everyone knows that. Are we, do we all have this box in our head? Because we are really coinciding on its design. Bones on like the corners of the box. The locks of baby's skull.

Yeah, everyone's seeing this, yes. The lips of the box stained with piss. Like a, like a smoker's lips stained with nicotine. Move on. Let's move on oh kindergarten because it didn't bring up the smell of uh baby spit up which i live with on an hourly basis here uh mark point mark point point for mark on that one i brought up vomit but that you know that's whatever it's fine vomit is just what you call an adult's spit up so or anyone who's not a baby a young child vomits a baby spits up i don't know why that's different but i feel like i should protest this this is fucking stupid but okay the point was a sign i feel like you shouldn't call

your judge fucking stupid but you know whatever that's up it was indirect you weren't supposed to get it but i did do that so that's fair you did yeah no you're right now you're really reinforcing it so i'll remember that and uh all right this one's related next next first second first if you will okay but this one i feel like is a different vibe what do you remember as your first school trip and i'll include i'll broaden this to be like this could be field trips while you're in school or this could be like if you did a summer camp or something because a lot of kids will do like summer camps where you go away and you sort of sleep in a you know cabin somewhere any kind of thing what was your first like school trip

organized trip type deal where you had like maybe camp counselors or you had a chaperones and that sort of thing i'll just say i my first my memory of this is very strong in my school uh district it was like kind of a tradition that when you got to sixth grade in my school the way it's set up that's when you move from elementary school to middle school middle school for us was six through eight which i know is kind of weird compared to most middle schools or whatever but so our sixth grade year all the sixth graders always did like a trip over like a weekend where it's like you go away for a few days we would go to this place and sleep in cabins and eat in the dining hall and there were like camp counselors and you would do stuff like orienteering right you learn how to use a map and a compass to try and navigate from one place to

another or like trust building exercise type things where you're you know we're collectively doing something as a group we're you know these sorts of activities that was like the first time i ever went away with friends and i have such memories from that of like not of a lot of detail but of specific moments of things happening and just like being away from my parents and mostly around other kids with like you know chaperones sort of watching over us it's quite that strong memory it was it's it's for how little i remember of that part of my life i remember that very very very strongly and it's mostly positive which is surprising to me but like what what do you guys have i have a

title i guess we're on title still you still have your thinking mark you got one yet i'm trying to remember if i'm confusing memories that's my title confusing memories no i'm trying to remember if i'm confusing memories that's my title got it such a mystery my title is i'm lying i feel like mark's title is a little more confusing uh i guess wade gets the point for that one damn it we have come back baby who's going first mark i want to hear both of them but you can go first oh yeah i'm taking it why didn't i go for it when i won the last title thing i didn't get to go first which i thought was super weird but then i didn't question it so this is inconsistent you last title thing? I didn't get to go first, which I thought was super weird, but then I didn't question it, so this is inconsistent. You know what, Mark?

You're right. That's pretty unfair. Have a pity point. Wade, go ahead. Damn you! Take your fucking point, man. Whatever. Okay.

How are you both dissatisfied about this? Wade, you get to go first. Go. My story I'm going to tell, I think, is a lie because I don't think it's my first trip. And you asked about the first trip. But I don't remember my first first memory the first trip i think i did was i went to like a farm and i vaguely remember walking around but like i have no memories other than we went there and i smelled farm so the one i remember doing is going down to oh god what's it called like where the dinosaur museum is in cincinnati and they've got like the omnimax theater

whatever union terminal is that what it is oh yeah like the museum yeah so they've got like the dinosaurs and like the mummy exhibits and all that come in so my first like stronger memory is going there and i was obsessed with dinosaurs as a kid i went to school and my backpack was filled with dinosaur toys like up through like second or third grade i was the kid you walk up to it's like oh what's in your backpack i'd pull out a giant brontosaurus toy t-rex i had a pamphlet like comparing sizes of people to the dinosaur with all these dinosaur facts i was a dinosaur nerd and going to this museum and seeing the dinosaurs was so cool like the dinosaur bones and stuff i used to get kits as a kid that i'm memory unlocked where like you got like these

little tools you got like these little tools you could like dig into this fake kit like there'd be bones dinosaur bones or whatever inside of it and you could like break them down like get the bones out and polish them dust them i love that i wanted to be an archaeologist so bad and going to the museum and seeing the giant dinosaur bones was awesome however it all ended in terrible like crippling fear because at the end of walking around seeing the dinosaurs, we went to the Omnimax Theater. And for some reason, that place scared me so bad as a kid.

I didn't trust it. It felt like, like, I was terrified of, like, roller coasters and rides as a kid. And walking into that big open place, having, like, the theater-style seating, like, looking up at the ceiling, I kept thinking it was going to be a ride, like the seats were going to drop or lift up or take off and i remember sitting there watching whatever the movie was which is really cool because it's like the whole ceiling is movie yeah this is this is a theater where the seating is very steep and kind of laid back and it's like a dome right yeah it's not like a screen at the front of a room. It's like a big, very cool dome thing, and it's a very fancy thing.

All the movies, like the camera shots, are you going over hills and through things, like through Egypt or through rainforests or over the mountains, the snowy mountains. It's always very, like, a lot of moving people. I remember sitting there the whole time, like, grabbing onto the handles of my seat really hard because I kept expecting like something terrible to happen like i was going to go for a ride so after all the enjoyment of the dinosaur bones sitting there and watching the omnimax while as cool as it was as a kid i was terrified that like we were going to like do a flip or do something terrible and i was going to

die i was so scared of the omnimax theater the first time i went there so scared the whole time this is a tangent but i have to tell the story because it's outstanding uh in the bay in san francisco the california academy of sciences is um is like a basically a museum place located in uh the park the gold gate park it's very cool they have an omnimax and manny and i want went one night they do this thing where they stay open late sometimes and you can go and like have alcoholic drinks and walk around and see the exhibits it's very cool we did the omnimax and there was a dude sitting right behind us watching this omnimax which was like a very space focused one it was like exploring the universe so there's lots of space stuff that was very cool he was high off his ass he was so high because we it was cool right we're sitting there kind of like

he was out loud during the entire thing every time something happened or like you fly around he was just like oh whoa oh my god oh and now we're flying whoa whoa that's crazy the whole time and like on one hand i was like dude shut up man i want but on the other hand i was like he's having the best time right now god damn i am jealous and i hope that he continues to enjoy this anyway that's completely non-sequitur but that was the funniest shit because he was having such a good time and he couldn't keep it to himself i want to go back i've not been down there in so long i want to go back and experience the omnimax again now this is crazy because it just reminds me oh yeah we went to the same school because i couldn't remember if this was here my first school trip was also to the cincinnati museum center where there was

the omnimax because we were the same right the OmniMax. Because we were in the same house. Grew up together, right. I think in elementary school I went to a farm. Anyway, go ahead. And I remember a farm too. Something that's hay bale bullshit. I don't know, like a maze or something. I don't know why.

But in this one, tell me if I'm confusing memories. Because I don't remember the dinosaurs thing at all. But I know that's there. Was there like a booth in the main lobby area with magnets i think so yes like iron shavings and it was like that was there because i was trying to remember because i didn't see a goddamn other thing there because the same with the pegs on the the ceiling there when i saw magnets and i saw like the iron shavings just like move on their own my brain once again went but it couldn't make the connection it was like we didn't stay in the lobby the whole time we walked around the exhibit i did i was in the lobby the whole time i thought

we had chaperones that kind of like forced us to stick together could in my body i was elsewhere my mind i was still at those magnets i don't remember a goddamn thing because i just saw the metal shavings and i was like i probably you probably thought i was a fucking weirdo because you'd look over just see me just foaming at the mouth like as i was walking through the dice if we were in the omnimax room and i was clinging and you were foaming at the mouth, I'd be like, see, I'm not crazy. He's also losing his shit in here. It's terrifying.

I remember the Omnimax, but even then, I remember seeing it. It was very cool, but I still was thinking about those magnets. And I remember I got home and I was like, dad, I need magnets. Magnets. You busted the door with your backpack and you see that your backpack hook and you're like oh okay now magnets yeah but i remember what i actually got magnets because i didn't have iron shavings and i just went clack clack they get stick together i'm like these aren't magnets where's the metal shavings you didn't have the little like dude's face that you could like drag and make hair on

no no like we i don't think i was into cracker barrel at the time they had always had that for sale at cracker barrel i remember later when i was older i think i remember taking the magnets afterwards and then discovering that they mess with the TV and going, Oh, God. You're not going to hurt a CRT. It's probably fine. Grandma had a pacemaker, and I was like, man, if I put the magnets here, Grandma starts coughing weird. I put the magnet in a specific spot, and Grandma passes right out.

It's crazy. If I put it here, she gets real lively. All right. Let's play. Yeah, put it here, she gets real lively. All right. Let's play. Yeah, no, I didn't. You know what I did? That didn't occur to me in planning to talk about all the school stuff that you guys grew up in the exact same schools that you might have some overlapping experiences. May have.

That's very funny. Different experiences, clearly. I was happiest I've ever been, most terrified I've ever been. Meanwhile, Mark's just like so did that did that ruin dinosaurs forever for you then were you done wanting to be an archaeologist after the omni max experience or is that just a terrifying that had nothing to do with dinosaurs in my brain that was just like the whole like once it was over i was like oh that was actually fine but like up until like we got up to leave, it was like, when does this become drop zone or something?

Like I just kept expecting something horrible to happen. Then when it didn't, it was just like, oh, that was actually kind of cool, I guess. As my heart slowly settles down. But like, yeah, I did not trust anything at that point. But no, I still wanted to be for very long. I don't remember when I switched off of that. Had it been like junior, middle school, junior high, like all of elementary school i wanted to work with dinosaur bones and jurassic park was my favorite movie might still be my favorite movie for so long but like yeah that didn't change

well mark i told my oh that was your story that was my story yeah oh just have it overlap yeah they do overlap literally that that is the one the magnets are was going to be my thing but i just didn't know if i was misremembering that with something else. I just love the idea that we were walking around looking at all these things that were blowing my mind, and you were just like, metal. Magnets. That is a description of most of my early, early childhood. It's just like me not in the same universe as everyone else

because I was just like, what is this you know i wasn't socializing much so i was just always in my because i was always in my head and i don't know maybe that was an adhd thing because even now you know if i just i'll be in a different zone and i've just learned to try to check in every once in a while what's happening around me good co-story everybody both of you collectively separately had the same ideas but different and i think you each deserve a point for that thank you even though wade started it off and he seemed to trigger a lot of your memory uh i think you really brought a home mark it wouldn't have been the same without you thank you thank you thank you see fair wade you can't spot any bias can you no i didn't think so thank you i feel like okay

you're gonna insult me again in here i am but yeah i'm not gonna say i can take points away i can undo what i've done oh don't tempt me i always ask for it when it adds offered i know you like that don't you you want to take a point do you no i i know i need my points all right i have i have another first i have another okay yeah let's do that i am not sure how this one will go and if wait if you don't have one for this we don't have to it doesn't have to be worth points necessarily uh but for i know mark has done performances but i want to know if you have a memory of your first performance i feel like it's a pretty common thing to like sing in elementary school and you play recorder sometimes stuff like that do you guys have a memory of the first time

you ever performed and it doesn't have to be music but like if you were in the play or even if you were just like doing debate or something whatever you performed like on a stage for a crowd for people you know i think i do you got one mark i do yeah what are your what's your title mark oh say can you see that's my title uh wade what is your title a train and a lost principle that doesn't sound good at all thank you for being vulnerable and letting the voice crack out point to mark for the title thanks i'm gonna let wade go first though again okay excellent all right so the reason i called it both is that i don't actually remember if i was in the first one so that we did a play there was a play i think in like first grade that involved something with a train and in my mind i was in

like the choir that didn't actually go on stage, but I stood there like sang songs during the play But I don't know if that's actually true or not I can't remember if I remember watching it or if I was actually in it the first one I really remembered performing was whenever I transferred from Milford South to I've got Pleasant Hill It was called Pleasant Hill and then our principal retired and they renamed the school charles l seipel after the principal that retired but whenever he retired like the last day we'd prepared this like thing where the students got up and like sang songs and i remember singing the

lyrics like you've been the principal since 62 oh charlie we love you i remember like learning this song and singing it to our principal and he'd been my principal for like one year i didn't know him at all it was like dude i just transferred here why am i singing love songs this dude leave it like i probably think of it like that but it was weird to me because it's like i just everyone here is new to me and this guy is leaving like i just left no one sang to me when i left my school but i remember singing that but i was always the one who sang like like i didn't want to like risk people actually hearing me sing so i was like the hummer or the one who mouths like i think looking around like this might have put a spotlight on you

we're all singing right guys singing has always been one thing that scared me even now like singing when we did the musical improv like for the tour singing has always been like the one thing it's like dude i will go up and look like an asshole in front of people i don't even care but if i try to sing and i look bad that would be the most devastating thing in the world and i don't know why that's in my brain but it always has been so i remember trying to either sing in that choir which i don't really remember anything about other than there was a train, or singing goodbye to this principal I never knew.

Watching everybody else sing and like, okay, they're doing it. I don't have to. Is your mouth closed? No, I always at least tried to sell it. It was always like i like a lot of kids go for that because singing and performing can be it's clearly intimidating it's not a thing that's that's fun necessarily when you're learning how to do it little younger introverted in public me i was i was like i like detention

like it was my family but people i didn't know I was very introverted and scared as a kid. I like the image of just a whole choir of, of weights get up there and the director is like, but I never was like, that that's the sound that comes out. Every kid's like, you do it. Everyone collectively is like, ah, shit. I thought you guys were going to sing.

Oh God. Well, Mark, how was your experience in that same choir? I assume. No, no, no.

Mine was a different thing. I was, I don't think I was in the choir. Um, my, there's a different performance story that I would have told, but I think I talked about it before and I definitely don't want to repeat topics here.

Jesus. It's over here throwing up again i wasn't prepared for bullshit today oh god so mean that story like the magic school bus play i've told you guys about the one where with the teacher that hated my guts and then i ruined the newspaper picture for if you have i didn't listen it's possible that both wade and i don't remember it and you did tell us probably i'll let the viewers decide but this is a different one because it actually i think it happened before it and it was another singing related thing so it was uh my dad being the sole career army man that he was uh really liked when i sang the star spangled banner uh the national anthem and i say and he was like yeah great and then he would he would like i would do it because he was like yeah i did it and apparently i was good at it i was like yay okay and i remember being at like some random party this This is, I don't know when the timescale is of when I started doing this to this party,

but I've been doing it for at least a few months. Okay. You say party. How old about were you? Cause I'm picturing like high school or college mark. No, no, no, no, no. It wasn't a party. My party.

My dad had like, it was a neighborly get together kind of thing. So it was like barbecue, barbecue together kind of thing so it was like okay you got barbecue some barbecue yeah something like that and i remember uh i was i didn't know what was going on if same with everything i was like people i don't know what this is and why people are here and i just remember like i don't remember getting there i don't remember leaving my memory just picks up right from this moment when this is happening which my my dad was like, yeah, you can sing. He can sing. Sing.

Why don't you sing for him? Oh, no. And it's just like, and all these adults are just like, oh, you can sing. Oh, you can sing, can't you? And it's just like, I'm just like, what? And then my dad's like yeah sing sing and so i go oh and it's like my voice cracks immediately and i just freeze and i'm stuck and i can't move and i i just want to explode on the. It's my first experience with like burning shame.

I had no idea why I was there or what happened. I thought it was like a dream or a nightmare and I was just like... I still like the image better of you going to like a college party, like bringing a 12 pack of beer and someone's like, see, oh, say, can you see?

That'd be like if you went to a college party and everyone was like mark can do a scottish accent mark do a scottish accent uh-huh oh god you see lassie yeah so then i never wanted to sing again i i i don't did your dad do that a lot the like hey no mark can sing sing a song for us mark well i don't think he's done in a few years well hey he might you know there's ways to communicate i don't know there's messages i don't know yeah you go to a ouija board just like s i n g daddy i've never known a parent like this in person but you see on like tv and movies right where there'll be parents who's like yeah play the piano for us child or whatever at like a party and and i kind of get that because it's like you're kind of

showing off and you're you're encouraging your kid like there's nothing wrong with doing that even if it's not so great like you're encouraging your kid to you know get comfortable with performing and having you know it's for fun but in real life that's such a weird thing to me if that there are parents who would just be like ah my boy can play trumpet get your trumpet out and i was like no it's encouraging campfire guitar guy at a young age it's hey mark get your guitar play wonderwall for him the kid whose response is oh yeah and they run and get whatever and start that's campfire guitar guy that's true yeah the one that's like oh daddy i already have my guitar right here yeah oh this guitar i brought it just in case.

You know, my mom is still like that to this day, except it's with YouTube. Any human being, doesn't matter who they are, complete stranger, friend, a new friend that has been invited over to the house to meet me specifically, everyone is like, did you know my son is a famous YouTuber? Here, let me show you an entire 30-minute video of his right now. I will never forget when you had to go and have your surgery done and we came to visit. And as you were being taken back into the room, she was trying to follow with the camera. And she's like, my son's very important. You take good care of him.

Very important. Famous. Very important. Famous. And they're they're like ma'am you can't come back i told you about the last time that i was in the hospital i was like in the midst of after i took seven shots of laxatives and i was just stumbling to the bathroom desperately and my mom walks in with phone in and already recording on the way in you know just like oh thanks bob and i and it was funny because did i tell you that evan was there too no um because evan was accompanying her and picked her up from the airport and he wanted to like check in on me and then i'm like i'm literally like why are you recording this and he didn't even stay to say hi he he bolted immediately literally left you're gonna say he like helped you and grabbed the phone or

something he was just like nope he's like i'll hold the phone for you while you go what do you have to say to your viewers mark i did i was so like please i gotta go and then i duck in the bathroom and i'm sure just horrendous poop noises your mom in front of the bathroom door doing like a selfie and in the background it's just you like he's very famous this is what celebrity shit sound like it sounds bad but it doesn't stink because he's very famous that's my mom that's my mom can't i can't say she's not supportive oh man no she's the most supportive aggressively supportive yeah that's that's about that's nice that's what were we talking about who wins

well since he's very famous i think mark probably wins this point yes i mean i guess at least i was voluntarily singing in a choir and he was forced to sing in front of like his family friends at a barbecue so i would rather be in my position than his but like go on keep talking no i keep keep advocating for marty i can give him more points does he deserve more points no no no no i'm not gonna go that are you sure i think the lady doth protest too much whatever just go for it you want to just fucking do points for mark god damn thank you thank you that would be the worst like if you encourage your kid beforehand like hey do you want to sing or what like that'd be one just like out of the blue like yeah my kid sing sing damn you sing he turns into the phantom of the opera sing for me

dad what the what the hell man like this is not a thing we've done before being put on the spot is the worst having a little bit of like okay i'm gonna you're gonna sing all right like if you don't want to at least you have preparation just like do it now i think wade is fully accepted that everything's tilted against him he's not even fighting anymore he's just i'm just like you know for the sake of conversation i'm doing a podcast i would hate that so like singing is so scary to me that just being like do it is terrifying i i pulled an uno reverse on my dad though i remember now because he he played a little bit of piano but he didn't play a lot but there was one there was this one rhythm that he played with like his left hand it was like it might have just been a warm-up or something but when he did it like in in repetition and i would whenever he would play it i would run around the house in a circle and i loved it so i'd be like, play, Dad! I want to run!

Run and run. He'd be like, I don't know if I can keep playing. My hand's cramping up. I'm like, no! Keep playing! And I'm just running as fast as I can. I think it was an exercise because it's a long reach. It's supposed to be... I'm not singing it to the exact notes,

but it's like you hit a low note, and then a high note, and then you go up. Yeah, and so it probably hurt his hand, and I would just be like... When you said you pulled an uno reverse, I thought you were like, eh, we were at a party,

and I was like, my dad plays piano! Dad, go get the piano as you're doing as he's doing that you're like i'll help him oh say can you see What a musical pair sounds like. A tour in the country is dad with four notes and kid who corrects voice. Da-do-do-do-da-do-do-do-da-do-do-do. See?

Just see. See, see, see. See, see, see, see. Beautiful. Good stuff. All right. who got the point do i win uh mark got several points yeah i got that i get title point at least who got title point uh mark did for fuck's sake dude all right pity point for wade calm down thank you i think this is interesting but it might be really hard i'm just curious what you guys will come up with for this i gotta be honest the first time you realized something that you don't like about yourself i feel like we're all old enough like we're all adults now we're we're self-aware enough

i feel like the three of us all must have things about ourselves we don't like or we wish we could change that's a very like adult sentiment right you realize things you're like god i wish i could whatever i feel like everyone has something they wish they could change or that they don't like that they do or whatever but as kids you're not that self-aware and there's a point where you are a kid and there's that first time where you realize like, oh, wait, I suck. Like, wait a minute. I did something. I was really mean to that person or like, you know, it comes in different ways, I'm sure.

But there's got to be a point where you're a kid and you have that moment of like, oh, I did. Why did I do that? I'm so sad. I'm so disappointed. I hate that about myself. Whatever. I'm just curious if you guys have any memories like that i do but it doesn't perfectly fit the mold of how you're

describing it but i remember the first time i found a fault in myself that i hated well not i don't know i don't know if it's the first it's the one that stands out in my mind yeah so first one you could remember is pretty fair but uh i mean yeah mark do you feel like you're getting something i yeah i do is again it's kind of like tangential. You'll fucking get a point for it anyway, so who gives a shit? Point for Wade for spitting truth. Thank you. Oh, hell yeah, dude.

Comeback starts now. Do you guys have titles? Anything but that. Okay. Well, that's some... That's some... That's some trauma uh is it all of that that's some that's some that's some trauma okay point point to mark for the long title god damn it

okay uh and for the first time you know what mark why don't you go first all right so yeah this is a it's it's a complicated one right because the first time that i hated something about myself isn't so much of a a nicety where it's like oh man i'm i'm sad that i did that thing uh the first time that i hated myself was when i realized that i was that not only was i korean but that i was different than other people so this is where it's like that's where that's some trauma uh because it's it's what i think i've talked about before is like internalized racism um and it's like because i was k Korean in a predominantly white neighborhood, you're different.

And so kids are mean and they'll bully you for anything that makes you different. And as soon as I, it was like in, in the small private school, I didn't experience it. And then when I went to, uh, public elementary school, that's where I started to experience it. And I had no idea what it even meant because at that point in my life, like I knew my mom was Korean and I understood that on like a, that's just a fact level. I never saw anyone interact with my mom because most of my childhood, she was working night shifts. So I don't actually have a lot of memories of spending

a lot of time. So she was always sleeping in the day so when i got to school it was like all of a sudden i was being singled out for something that i didn't even know was a thing and so when i would get like asian jokes and people would like mock me for that uh i started to actually look at myself and be like because at that point as a kid when do you ever even look at yourself when do you ever even think about yourself as like a human being um you're just you and that's it and so that's when i was like started to not like those parts about myself and that like that that that spiraled for a very long time way longer than i would have ever liked um but since then i'm fine i'm proud of who i am and happy with who i am just as a kid like man you things just worm into your brain and they don't go away for a long time well equally as horrible and traumatic and unfair i remember

around third grade we got our eyes tested and i was like anything please no just don't need glasses just don't need glasses and then i found that i needed glasses and i would say that's almost even worse than wow you know what point to Wade for being really brave about this that's yeah it's not nearly the same thing but like I remember putting on glasses and no matter what kind of whatever i was wearing it was like i hated the way i looked i knew people were gonna like call me a nerd and bully me and hate me i thought i looked stupid to this day there's like the first

school photos we took after i got glasses and my ears were like big as a kid i grew into them as an adult but like they felt like they stuck out a lot when I was younger. They felt big. I remember our school pictures. We had to stand by a tree and like hug the tree and like smile at the camera. And I was wearing these glasses.

And with the way my hair looked, the way my glasses, I looked at that picture and it's like, I look like my grandma and a monkey hybrid. And I hated everything about that picture. And even now, if i look at that picture like i feel like uncomfortable looking at myself because i remember how much i hated that and that's how i always saw myself with those glasses for some reason was like an old lady

slash monkey i felt like the frames pushed out my ears even more uh super super like i was never confident in myself growing up i don't know when got that, but that was like after high school. Um, but I remember like third, fourth grade whenever I had to get glasses. Cause I transferred schools after first grade and I was only had like a couple of friends I felt close to. And then I got glasses. I was like, I'm never going to make any more friends. I'm the new guy still.

And now I'm the new guy with glasses and everyone's going to hate me. And I look like a stupid nerd and all of this. And it was just, as I was doing my vision test it was just like please please no no anything but glasses anything but glasses and i don't know why i felt that way because you know right now i prefer my glasses to my contacts typically but and then like seventh grade i got contacts and that's a whole other can but i would like to point out i i also had glasses too on top of my other i'm struggling to relate to having to wear glasses so the other issues are you saying that you're half korean is an issue on top of your other faults

there's a whole list really i had bad eyes bad race i had it all going wrong i don't know i i've always thought like i don't know i always kind of like wanted to be different i was like in that like you know have like a different race like uh but not glasses but glasses to me for some reason were like the worst thing as a kid you could have to deal with like i i never cared about like i don't know why because definitely people got like picked on for being black or being asian or whatever else and people made like those kinds of jokes and stuff but in my brain like wearing glasses for some reason was one of the worst things you could have to deal with and maybe it was just because i projected that the fact i had to deal

with it that i thought it was bad for everyone else but like i always felt so terrible for people that had to wear glasses i don't know why but that was young me's like thing that was like the worst that could happen to you you have to wear glasses i believe they call that internalized glassism i'm a glassist i'm working on it though did you guys hear they're officially shutting down google glass enterprise sometime this year it's all it's all over it's all we talked about that i think once and it happened again yeah no those were interesting that's honestly that's not entirely the direction i thought that might go but that those are both totally valid i think for both of us i want to speak for you mark i feel like they're not necessarily things we should have

hated about ourselves but they happened when we were young enough that it made an imprint on us and it took time for us to accept the fact that well for me it was really dumb you know i don't have perfect vision woo but you know just having to learn to accept yourself and like who you are whether it's an imperfection, not being able to see well or what have you. I feel like that sticks out more than later on being like, I'm kind of a dick. Because it happened when I was young. And as you get older, you kind of learn that you have faults and things that aren't perfect.

But when you're just a kid who doesn't think about any of that stuff, and all of a sudden you're faced with the reality that someone might not like you for something, it's like, I don't know, that's really traumatizing it really is it's hard you don't have the emotional like tool set to be able to deal with those complex emotions because it's very complex well uh for having real problems point to mark for that one what yes wait're having real problems? It's just not. Come on, you know what I meant. Wait, hey. Some truths are coming out today.

Well, that was... Fuck, I didn't get a point again. God damn it. You're basically asking me to not give you points. Fuck it, dude. I feel like this is like the last episode where I was losing so so bad there's not a chance so fuck it whatever this sucks you all suck i feel like it's what you want let's all let's be honest like what's on my terms i don't like losing outright like i like the i haven't tabulated the points yet okay so you don't know who wins uh anyone keeping score along at home might have an idea but you don't know how good

i am at math so i guess we'll see what happens uh but yeah i think that's going to be the last one i had a whole list of these and some of them i would still be really interested to talk about we could definitely do this one this can go on the list of things we promise we'll do and never circle back to all right i did enjoy this i didn't know how many firsts there could be but these are some interesting and they brought up so many memories there's so many firsts and there's so but these are some interesting, and they brought up so many memories. There's so many firsts, and there's so many ways to talk about it and things about, I think this would be a fun one to revisit for sure, but

for now, that's going to be it. Let me tabulate the scores. Really? That wasn't a score, I just got a text message I wasn't expecting. Anyway, I looked at my phone as a bit, but then there was a thing. saw mark look concerned i was like today's winner for reasons completely unrelated to the score and as uh might be kind of a surprise

to mark is actually going to be wade you may think you may be thinking currently wait a minute i tracked every time bob mentioned points wait a minute i i feel like i had way more points than wade almost like wade was trying to not earn points but when you stepped away twice at the beginning of today's episode wade extended his hand and made me an offer and i told him and i shook his hand and i made a promise that he would win no matter what that you were fighting a pointless battle and that no matter how well you did, and you did do very well and you really do deserve to win. If I look back on everything we talked about, you had some very good stories, Mark.

You had no chance. You literally couldn't win. So because I'm a man of my word and we shook hands on it digitally, although it may be, Wade is today's winner. Congratulations, sir. Thank you. I'm just so glad that Mark's losing streak is back. shook hands on it digitally although it may be uh wait is today's winner congratulations sir thank you i'm just so glad that mark's losing streak is back you know it might just be one right now but one is better than zero it's good to be on top and i'm very happy thank you for a very fair episode i appreciate you honoring your word and if mark had just stuck around and not fucked with

his audio setup maybe he would have heard that and then, you know, he would have had the handshake deal. But I decided to be here the whole time. I didn't leave during your hosting time like he did. So I deserve this. And thank you for a fair episode. Very fair. The fairest. You could say this is the fairest episode there could be because there was an agreed upon outcome.

And the agreed upon outcome is the outcome that we got it's 100 fair everybody that was there and and made terms and had something to offer and contribute uh got what they deserved and what they were promised is very fair mark as today's loser how do you feel give us a speech i just feel like me as a kid looking at some wooden pegs on the wall the deceit the lies the war no the truth the truth was that it's a moral victory at the very least for you today because you definitely had a lot of points and wade only got a little bit of points that's true you got the moral victory which wade could tell you how good that feels are they rollover points uh maybe would you like to shake my hand and make a deal uh for what to to have your points roll over into the next episode that i host yeah yeah yeah i'll shake yeah okay okay i i i require no offer on your part mark

today you earned hang on hang on i'm stating the terms today you earned i Hang on, hang on. I'm stating the terms. Today you earned... I didn't actually write them down because they didn't matter, but I'm going to say that you earned 10 points today, Mark, because you got a lot of them. You have 10 rollover points. Shall we shake on it? Yes, and shake. Can you send me the cost of the preorder for the next one

so I can just buy some points so I can catch up that way? Yeah, no, I'm going to throw together an app, actually. You guys can buy distract tokens, and then you can use distract tokens in the app to redeem points. Yeah, so he got 10 points, so I need to get at least 10. I think if I buy two of the $59.99 pack, that should get me to 10. So I may or may not remember this, Mark, so definitely you're going to want to

remind me if you want this to actually happen. Alright, we're good at memory, so we will definitely remind you. Between the both of us, I'm sure we won't forget that this happened. But these points last forever, so if you don't cash them in, you'll just have 10 rollover points sitting in the ether. At any point in the future of the show, and I'm the host,
