From superfan, Superman, to caring less. Yes, it's time for Oxford 3002. Now sit back and prepare to be distracted and enjoy the show. Hello everybody and welcome to Superman's favorite podcast.

You can't prove that it's not. Unless, does he canonically have a favorite? Yeah. distractible. Super D-duper man. Oh, I don't know enough about comic books to make this joke. I asked him, and he told me, we're his favorite. Superman's favorite.

That's us. That's right, it's distractible. You talk to Superman? Yeah, we're buddies. On the reg. I go to his fortress of quietude, and I'd hang out with him in his cat, and we talk about podcasts, and it's all true. That sounds like Superman.

Kind of. It's made of dry ice. The cat? The cat. Yeah, the cat. Anyway, if you've never seen distractible before, my name's Bob and I'm the host because I won the last one. There's two other guys here.

They're competing to win this one because then that means they host the next one. That's it. That's all the rules. There's no constitution or any other bullshit. It's just those three rules. Three, two. That one rule, really is what matters. The people who will be competing today, as always, as only ever, are Mark and Wade.

Hi. Hello. I thought we're just leading into the viewers today. You don't have to address the listeners. You can just... We could just do a sign language episode. I love the listeners, because I love ears. He's an earman.

We got an earman over here. I'm an ear man. Everyone knows this. I don't know. Well, my voice had to change to call you an earman, but now you're an ear man. Last earman was in 1920s. Before talkies came on the scene. No one needs those talkies.

They need the ear man. In one ear out the other end. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah. I like to go in balls. What? Whoa. I don't like what just crashed into your 1920s.

I'm not a fan of it. Whatever that was. I hate it. The penguin gun in there, you know. The old transatlantic Kentucky accent there. Anyway, welcome to the episode. How's it going, fellas? I have a game.

I do have a game. I know everyone expects me to be unprepared because I'm always unprepared, but I'm prepared. And the more I say it, the more true it becomes. But before we do that, how's it going? You guys got any small talk? Anything going on in your cool lives? Yeah, I do.

So I went through some of the most devastating, bowel exploding, body shaking, adverse reactions you've ever experienced. You know what I mean? You know what I'm saying? Kind of. There's been a few times. I'm familiar. What happened?

I went. You hear that? I guess. All right. Amy and I were going to travel soon, both for our honeymoon and for other reasons. So it's like, oh, we need to get some travel vaccines, right? To go to certain places, you need certain vaccines. I go to this travel vaccine place, right?

I won't name it, but it was fine. The person was fine there. And I went there because of like, I don't know what's. recommended to go to these places. So it's like, we're going here, here, here, and here. What do we need? And it's like, well, let me pull up your vaccine records. And it's like, oh, you haven't had your tetanus

in fucking forever. You haven't gotten a boost to, yeah, do you go to the doctor? And I'm like, well, I swear to go to the hospital a lot. But, you know, I don't usually, don't usually, I guess I haven't really checked in on that. So I needed four, four vaccines, two new, two boosters. Well, three new one booster or something like that. I don't know.

They got the super syringe, you know, for the everything. Oh, the big juicer? Yeah, the every 10 year kind of mega one. They... It's normal size for Bob and I, but for you, it would look like that. Okay, come on. Come on, man. Sorry, sorry.

Sorry, I hope that wheel spin doesn't come back to bite me later. Come on, man. Come on. Yeah, I'm making note of the short, joke. But it was really funny. Come on, man. All right, yeah, it was funny. So I get all mine. I take it like a champ, you know, I didn't even cry, you know,

four band-a-bam, bam, bam, bam, two on each term, right? Get home, I'm like, okay, I'll probably feel a little funky. Because when I got the COVID vaccine, you know, that was the last time I took one and I felt sick. Oh, yeah, that one always hits me too. Yeah, usually I take the flu vaccine. I don't feel that bad. But I started feeling a little queasy and then my stomach started rumbling.

And then I had the worst chills I've ever had in my life. I was under three blankets, one of which was a heating blanket and I couldn't stop shivering. It was a heat wave here in Los Angeles. It was 95 degrees outside sun blaring. I was laying out on my driveway. I felt comfortable. Like, I could feel my body starting to cook, like, on the, the, the, I don't have black top driveway, but it's, like, darker.

And I was just like, oh, wow, this is kind of nice. And then I saw I was going to throw up. I couldn't tell if it was from the sickness or from, you know, just being in the sun like that. So I go in, draw a hot bath, just lay in that. And I'm just like, I can't get warm no matter what. The second, the second, like, I'm out of the heat, I should start shivering violently. So I go into a fugue state for about six, eight hours. I have no idea.

Just on the couch under the heated blankets after the bath. And I was like, and we didn't have a thermometer. I wanted to know what my temperature was. Yeah, you might have been running a fever or some kind. That's a good call. Well, I bet I was like, I must be hitting a record, right? I must be getting 122. Celsius.

I got it at the high score here. I really, that was my only thought. Because I know if you get too high of a fever, you know, you should go die? Yeah, you did. Yeah, no, hospital first probably, yeah. Yeah, but you should see if your body could take it first. Yeah, yeah.

So what was unfortunate is I was sleeping it off, and usually, you know, if I sleep it off. But Amy started to get worried because it was going on for so long. As I was starting, woke up and I started feeling a little better, the chills finally went away. And it was funny because three blankets, heated blanket, felt comfortable. Oh, my God, I'm dying from heat. It was boom. Instantly, I woke up like, oh, sweat.

Like, just the entire couch was just soaked because I was napping on the couch. Just like sweat everywhere instantly. So I must have been very, very warm. And so she gets, she goes to, you know, the pharmacy to get me some gatorage. Because I'm like, dying of thirst. I need some electrolytes. She comes back and we get the thermometer. And I'm like, I feel fine now at this point.

I feel fine. So I'm like, it's probably going to be normal. This is check to make sure. I feel fine. I feel way less. chills than I did before. Beb, beep, beep. 100 degrees.

And that's when I fell fine. So I really must have had a high fever. Yeah, if you hit like 104, you're like, you're close to the dying part and you're supposed to really get to the hospital part. Yeah. We probably should, we'll have, we have a thermometer now? I probably should have, probably should have kept that around.

Did you go rectal or did you be a, are you a wuss? Uh, one ear out the other. I go a whole, I go urethral, actually, is what I have for my thermometer. Ah, that's the other, yeah, that's the good way. Yeah, it's the only way to get an accurate reading, yeah. Plus, when you're done, you just, yeah, pee it back out. It's self- ejecting. You don't have to, you have to do anything.

It's convenient. Uh, so that was my weekend. That's not great, dude. I'm glad you have a thermometer now. You might have set some kind of record. I might have, yeah. But this is the things, like, I've actually had. time to have like weekends to myself. So for some reason the past few weekends, I just haven't been

able to relax. And so last weekend was kind of the, what do they call it, the cream on the cake, the icing on the cake? The cream. Last, you know, it's the cream. Maybe he did it in a high temperature for a little bit. Mark is broke. He don't work no more. So I'm better now. I feel great. I've had an upload schedule, which is nice. And everything else is going great. The minor heat-induced brain damage, you know, I can shrug that off and I'm, I'm good, man. I feel like I lost a few pounds in that time when I was going through that. Man, hold on, I need to go get these vexia. Can you get me what you got? Yeah, just go to the doctor say like, give me the big one. Got the big one. Oh, I haven't had any. I need that big syringe. I think it might have been

the typhoid one that got me. I think it's a Pokemon. Tiphoid. Tifoid, typhoid, typhoid. Go, typhoid, Mary. Go! Oh, that was tasteless. Yeah, ma'am, a little bit. Oh, I'm sorry. We can't make typhoid Mary jokes. Honestly, I barely, barely registered because I was trying to think of my own joke. And then when you said that, I was like, I don't know if mine's going to beat that.

I thought, oh, it evolves to typhlosia. That's a real Pokemon. Is that funny? Is it not funny? Typholosion? Yeah. Typhlosion? Really?

102 starters, Sindaquil, Quil Lama, Typholosion. It's real. It's real. It's real. Mark, you smash your pass this typhlosion at one point. Did I? It's like a fire ferret. I don't think I ever got its name.

I think I just saw pictures. You looked at one. You know, you've seen it. It's real. You don't need to know a name to smash or pass, I guess. Well, we're glad you're alive. Yeah, we're talking about how you apparently almost died in the last week. Apparently, yeah, yeah, man.

Yeah. That's an adventure of its own kind. Good job, surviving. Thank you. Thank you. I tried. Wait, how did you almost die this past week? I had five hot.

dogs in the week or in the one one day fuck yeah man uh over the course of a whole day or four hours okay this is this is either a really you know normal day sad day or or were you in a competition so i i had three conies i had three conies from skyline oh those are tiny but they have chili and cheese on them sure sure and then we uh went to my nephew had like a birthday get together and they were grilling out. Molly and I didn't have a lot of time because we were going to go see Project Hail Mary. So they were grilling out and they made the whatever people were grabbing food and there were just a few hot dogs. I was like, I'll just grab a couple hot dogs. And as I was eating them, I was like, wait, that's what I had for lunch too. Oh God, it's like I'm 15 again. I'm going to die later.

We end up being fine. Transitioned though. Project Hail Mary was a fantastic movie. Really fantastic movie. Love the book. Movie also fantastic. So you've read the book? I have. And the movie, I didn't get pissed off watching the movie. I actually really enjoyed it. And usually whenever you read a and immediately see a movie afterward, you're like, I can't believe they cut out my favorite thing. But it was a really good, faithful adaptation. I really, really enjoyed it. So highly recommend. I won't say anything else about it. I don't want to spoil. I recommend reading the book and then see the movie, but whatever. Very good. I have another update. What was it? That's right there. It's gone. Oh, I told Bob this, but Mark, you don't know this. I finally, finally last night

was laying in bed. Polly was asleep. I finally got my hands on. it. What? Where's this gone? I started dungeon crawler Carl. Oh! Why does it me? It's Bob sing. But thank you for the attribution. Well, I told him already, so I got to tell you. Wait, that's fun. Did you see the Reddit post?

I was like, I get excited every time they mention books. And it's like, yay, Bob for mentioning Dungeon Crawler Carl. Yay, Wade, for reading Anmorphs. Mark, you're there, I guess. And I'm like, I read books all the time. What the fuck? I'm talking about it. What the fuck? Oh, come on.

I was also excited about Dr. Croller Car. Mark clearly doesn't read like the other two educated ones. Just because all I read is Warhammer 40K. You know what I mean? Yeah. No, not the man on the same podcast

who's bragged about reading what must be several hundred Warhammer books. Oh my God, at least. Yeah, it's got to be a lot. I think you've read more Warhammer books than I've read all books in the world. probably have read so fucking many. I think that's probably true because I've read mostly legal cases, if I'm honest.

I don't know how to count those. But in terms of books, you're definitely kicking my ass. I mean, probably not with Warmer because, like, there are only so many. I read a lot in my, I like reading. It's how I got such a big vocabulary. That's how I know so many words. and use them for talking. You like my words?

My out loud words. Yes, yes. I make them with my mouth. That's a good word. Mouth. Good job reading, Wade. I'm glad someone here is finally reading a goddamn book. Yeah, me too.

My last and final, which is the same word twice, update. I don't know how you read such a small amount. Like, and this is not a judgey thing, because I do that. But the first time I started reading Dungeon Crawler Carl, it was like I was getting ready for bed. So it was like late at night. Like maybe it was 11 o'clock.

I was like, I'll read for a little bit. And then I'll get tired and I'll go to sleep. And I fucking read possibly the entire book before I slept. But I read all the way through like easily three quarters of the book, possibly the entire thing in one sitting. Because I started and I just got into it and got into it. And like I'm like this and maybe you're not like this the same way. But like I couldn't stop. No, I get that way.

I literally I read until like five in the morning and then I was like, ah shit, the baby wakes up in a couple hours. I guess I should pass out. Well, it's a lot less fun of a reason, but I've had trouble sleeping more than usual the last few weeks. I don't know if it's something actually going on or like mini panic attacks or what it is, but like I'll lay down. And then all of a sudden, like, you know if you like are sitting still for a while and then you get up and like you run up a flight of stairs or something? You feel even more out of breath like your heart's pounding more than usual.

I've had a thing a few different nights, including night before a lot. last where I'll go to lay down and all of a sudden it's like almost like my chest is burping or something but like I'll start to feel like a weird sensation and then all of a sudden it's like oh man is my heart like what's my heart rate right now is it 9 million over 500,000 because it's it's pretty wooed do do do do do do why am I panicking I'm fine I just need to let's just focus on something else wait you're dying oh okay I'm dying I stop thinking about just think about anything else can't think about anything else focus chest found hard fast that kept me up till eight in the morning two nights ago. So I was very tired last night. So I fell asleep easily because of that.

I've had this exact same thing. Not even exaggerating. It's like as soon as I lay down specifically, all of a sudden I can feel my heart. And I've had an Apple Watch when I was doing it back before they were sued out of their ability to do such things. It was only blood oxygen that they got sued about. The ECG thing still works. Okay, cool. Well, I would do that and I would look at my heart rate and it it doesn't feel that crazy. And it was only reading ever like 105, 110, which is barely elevated. And it's like the EKG looked good as much as I can read one of those.

And it said I was fine. But yeah, no, I don't know what that's about. I lay down and then some nights. It's just boom, boom. It's like someone's banging a drum in my chest. It doesn't hurt or anything. It's just kind of like, well, that's weird and concerning. Not fun.

And I've got. There's been a lot of things going on in life. I don't want to bring all of it up here, but I've had reasons to be, like, stressed about stuff. But, like, at least on the conscious level, I feel like, I'm okay. You know, I've had my moments. I've had moments of happiness. I've shed tears.

I've dealt with some of the things that we're dealing with. Maybe it's my subconscious or I don't know. But the heart is just the one thing. It scares me probably the most because I've had some family history of, like, heart attacks and stuff. So I'm like, man, hope my heart's okay. So the heart pounding just really compounds. and it becomes a vicious cycle of like,

now I really can't calm myself down. So, well, do you have an Apple Watch, Wade? Because I don't know if it would help you, but I would recommend that. Yeah, I do. I haven't used it. I should probably use it again, but for both of you,

what you're describing sounds like a thing I'm familiar with. It sounds like atrial frivolations, which is not necessarily even a thing that would manifest on an EKG, especially on the Apple Watch, because it's not exactly like a diolation. all over your body type of one. But that is not necessarily a bad thing that can happen. But also if you're concerned about it,

the doctor can check it out pretty easily. They will give you like a full diodes all over your body. EKG, get the full readings. Like it's real easy. I think I'm going to. I think I'm going to do that. If it is that, and I'm familiar with it,

it feels fucking crazy. It kind of feels like you're like, oh, is this a heart attack? My left arm isn't numb. So it must not. not be a heart attack. Yeah. No. So I would say two weeks ago, a week ago, last week sometime, I don't remember exactly how long ago. I had this happen like two nights in a row. I went downstairs for a little bit, ate something, just kind of like changed my location,

changed the way I was sitting and stuff. And it went away. I went back upstairs. It was fine, able to fall asleep. But for whatever reason, night before last, nothing I did could make that go away. And so from like 1.30 in the morning till a little after 8, just had that sensation. So I think I'm going to have to call and go in and make sure there's nothing else going on. But I've never dealt with like extreme anxiety except for like in specific scenarios. You know, people just have anxiety. The closest I could relate is how people have described like panic attacks. This felt like a mini panic attack almost.

But like I didn't think those lasted for hours. I guess I don't know. I never really experienced it. Yes, Mark is raising his hand. Teacher, teacher, teacher. I have your diagnosis. I've looked up online. I've put in all your symptoms.

You have paroxysmal superventricul. Tachycardia. That sounds like a lot of bad things grouped together like that. Yes, you don't want to be paroxysmal. Oh, good. You don't want to be superventricular. Paroxysmal? Yeah, P-A-R-O-X-Y-S-Mall.

Paroxys-Perc. Wow, what a word. The heart's natural pacemaker and sinewatrial node generates electrical impulses that tell the heart to beat, but in a person with PSVT, you, The heart's steady rhythm undergoes sudden periodic paroxysmal. Oh, that's what I mean. Disruptions. An errant electrical signal from above the ventricle superventricular overrides the sinoatrial nodes normal signal and creates a series of very fast heartbeats tachycardia.

The vast majority of PSVTs are not life-threatening, although in rare circumstances they can be dangerous, which is why people who experience repeated bouts of a racing heart should tell their doctor. But you practically are done that now. I guess so. I'm good. I don't need to go in now. Except for telling your doctor. Yeah, what web doctor has been told.

Oh, that's true. That's true. Internet, save him. I will also say the feeling like it's a panic attack thing. It can feel like, oh, I'm panicking, oh, my heart is racing. But it can actually be an inverse connection. You can have like a physiologically induced feeling of like a panic attack because what's happening to your heart is making your heart race.

And then that triggers a bunch of other stuff that leads you. So it's not necessarily like, oh, I'm so anxious, it's making my heart race. It could literally be like, oh, I'm iron deficient or, oh, like, oh, something else is happening. It's making my heart race. That is causing me to have these associated, like, emotional physiological reactions that feels like a panic attack or feels like anxiety or whatever. It's probably fine. Well, maybe ask your doctor and get it scanned. Maybe that will help.

Maybe that will help you feel less worried about it, at least. I'll go get checked out. There was a particular family event that occurred, and then it happens shortly thereafter, so I figured it was probably like subconsciously stress-induced, but maybe it's just coincidence. Either way, I should probably get it looked at, but it's been not fun. They'll tell you you're stupid and take your money. Don't worry about it. I'll tell you you you're stupid and take less money.

I'll tell you you're stupid for free. Am I in an ad? Can I pay you to tell you you you're stupid? Is this the guru and then whatever Mark's title was again? Oh, stupid are we? That's why I didn't read as much Dungeon Crawler Carl because last night I was finally tired enough to sleep. I mean, that's fair, I guess, whatever.

As the literate one of the podcast, I expect more from you, but... It could have been that the book was so exciting. You just couldn't. Your body was just... I was only going to read the first chapter and I ended up reading, I think, six. So, like, I did read more than I anticipated because I didn't want to put it down. But sometimes you get, like, especially early... Late in a book, it's impossible to stop because, like, just everything, the stakes

are always so high. But like early on, every now and then you reach a point in a book where you're like, okay, I really want to know what's next. But I feel like things are only going to escalate and get harder. I've got to stop here or else I really won't be able to stop. And that's where I was with the book. I was like, okay, this is, I've gotten through the intro tutorial phase. Now whatever happens is probably going to get crazy.

Let's stop here. Dude, shit gets nuts. Especially the later book. Shit just gets nuts and more nuts and then nutser and somehow nutsier. Yeah, I can tell you that feeling of like, oh, I'm fine. finally through the tutorial phase, you keep having that. And it's one of the things I like about the series is I feel like there's a constant thing of like, okay, now we're through like the prolog.

Now we know what's happening. And then you'll read a few chapters and you're like, I'm fucking, no, this is still prologue. There's still like, how is it getting crazy? Anyway, it's fun. You guys want to play a game? Sure. It's easy. Yeah, I'll play a easy game.

We've played it before. Oh, no, wait. No, hold on. Hold on. No, no, no, no. Listen. There's no questions. It's not like that.

This is a different kind of easy game. 20 easy. Remember this paragraph and recite it by memory. Close. While singing and rhyming. Oh, God. No. Not that close.

Oh, okay. Honestly, I had several titles written down, but I kind of want to call this one. The Easy 3,000. Do you guys remember when we played the game with the Oxford 3,000? The words and the saying the back words. Oh, yes, yeah, yeah. Say, see, see, that's not, that's Spanish, say, yes, backwards, yes, backwards. Say, say, say, adios, bios, but backwards.

Say, yeah, say, yeah, say you, say you. This is the easy 3,000. How well do you guys remember that game? Pretty good. Remember the words that you had to say backwards during that game? Do we get points if we do? It was in October, so I'd be really fucking surprised if you did. Anyway, don't worry.

You probably don't have to say most of them backwards, because I did come up with a new thing. Can we say them sideways instead of backward? And that doesn't make sense. Say it's sideways, say it sideways. No. Say any word sideways, and I'll give you a point. That's it, any.

That's the word any sideways. I got it. I got it. Huh, each other. Yeah. For the listeners, Mark just stood up and physically turned his head sideways. Oh, damn it. You know what?

That's a point. I said what I said. Creative genius. This is kind of like a mix of a bunch of games because that's all I do is look at what I've already done and try and find ways to rehash that. So it's kind of like the Oxford 3,000. If you happen to remember those words, if anything sparks, maybe that will be helpful to you. The game that we're going to play today with this is,

Not dissimilar to a game they used to play. Friendship? No. Okay. I think it was. I think it was. Yeah, well, and I'm allowed to lie to you. The game we're going to play today with the words.

Yeah. Okay, it was. It was. But I can tell you whose word it was. So there, if you're ruining stuff already. I told me to tell you. I was not. Not then.

Not right at the moment. Okay. I could get higher pitch too. Whose lines is it anyway? They used to play a thing. called director. Anyway, they would do a scene and then one of the cast members was a director and they'd come out and be like, do it French.

And this is kind of like that, but if you had to guess a word, there's going to be a word. The person giving the clues is going to be allowed to offer one word at a time as a direction. So it's kind of like hot or colder, but if Mark has a word and Wade starts and Wade is like friendship, Mark can be like scienceier. French or or higher, whatever. You say any word you want. If you think it will help.

And we have to say it like that, not more French. I mean, that's my idea. It's not, I'm not going to dock your points if you get creative with it. But the notion is it's like the direction, right? And they're always like, do it more like a noir film or whatever. Like the idea is for it to be kind of like that. You're supposed to give clues, but they have to be short. can't just be like, the word is this, say this word. You will get in trouble if you do that.

Anyway, every time I explain my game idea lately, the more I say about it, the more I'm like, man, this is a stupid idea. Oh, I shouldn't have committed to this. But it's too late now. I'm going to flip a coin to see who goes first. Okay. And whoever goes first, they say a word and the other person has to guide them to the correct word by the Frencher type clues. That's it? Yes. Whoever goes first, guesses any word? that they want and the other player has to give them direction, one word direction at a time to try and basically hot and cold their way toward the correct word. Lady is Wade, lion is Mark.

It doesn't mean anything about who you are. That's just how I decided in the moment. Editors, make me a lion. Mark's a lion. Lion goes first. It hurts. It's painful. Oh, what are they doing to me?

It's too bad that bit of the cowardly lion. So Marcus guessing first, Wade, I'm going to give you your first word to play with. Okay. That's not the piece of it. I just looked at my paper and saw a bunch of other words. It was like, what did I write down? Oh, no, no. That's a different word.

So I'm not acting any of these, am I? Or? No, you're just guessing. You're trying to guess the word. And Wade wants you to guess the word. So I start with the word and he'll guide me. If it helps, these are all words from the oxford. 3,000 list of words.

That does not help. There's approximately 3,000 options that it has to be from. But wait, I sit you a chat with your first word, and Mark, when you're ready. Avalanche. Peepleer. Sure. Stampede. I like this already.

This is going to be fun for me. Antonymier Standing Room only What were I said You heard me You heard me It's hyphenated

Okay. The ego. Physicaler. Mogging. One second. Wait. Well, actually, I don't know if I have an accurate definition. More.

No! No! Oh, fuck. Okay. So physical of ego. Wights? Uh, purpose. Strength?

Opposite. Weakness. Oh. Oh my God. That's it. Oh. I knew I'd get us there, buddy. I got, I listen.

Svictor. Svictorier. Well, you said bathroom. And I was like, how do I get from bathroom to our? body, it's a muscle, the sphincter's a muscle. You can have muscle weakness. Can you have sphincter weakness? You sure can. Yes, you can have sphincter weakness. That just doesn't make any sense. Well, I didn't know how to get there, man. Can't have sphincter surgery, shrinkter spasms. Listen, we could judge, but I did, I drove the car. I got barked the directions and he drove

the car there. If, if sitting in the back seat while the accelerator, is stuck to the floor and just ending up accidentally crashing into the correct answer. Counts as driving the car? You drove it there, baby. I did. I'm going to be so much worse at the other side of this. Have you ever seen that video, the rally car driver, or the assistants like, you have to listen to my calls? Left, left, left, left, right, turn right.

It's very funny. I have not. I don't know which one's which here in that one, but that's what it felt like. Well, Mark, now, Wade, it's your turn to guess, and Mark, I'm going to send you a word. I'm ready. On your guess, Wade. Apple? Less smeggle.

Apple. The word is Apple like Patrick Warburton. How did you get that? That's so specific. All right, let's smeggle Mountain. I see how this is going to be difficult. All right, okay. Opposite.

Valley. Good. Okay, I'm going to talk to you like a director. Oh, yeah, you know how to do that. Where's your hat? Does your hat help? Uh, uh, hat. Hat!

Damn. Not that hat. So we're at Valley, right? Okay. Lower. Crust. More ethereal. Hold on, gonna look up ethereal.

Those are just Wade endlessly Googling everything Mark says. I didn't know Mog, Moga, whatever you said before. Moging. We've talked about mogging. Lower than the valley, more ethereal. Or esoteric might be a better word for you. More esoteric. Now, Wade's a philosopher who made her.

He knows what esoteric means. I know esoteric. Of course I know esoteric. Tunnels? Back up a step. Valley. Crust? Valley crust.

back up another step Mountain Oh wait Fuck Valley Yeah Yes sir All right

Yinn and yang I don't like that word Forest Quebec up step Valley Oneer Mountain Forward

Forward Crust What No fuck Valley Up and Valley crust, Valley, Valley. Stay Valley.

Now, back up. Back. Just listen to me. I'm your direction. Just listen to me. Don't listen to the rules. Listen, back. Valley.

Oh, fuck. For the listeners, who I just scooted away from this microphone. Get smart. Tell them to back up. I got you, boss. Trust, trust, trust, trust, trust her, trust her. Back.

Valley, back, back up. Valley, back up. Uh-huh. Mount, not Mountain. So back up. Wait. I think he wants you to say a mountain, buddy. I did.

He said no before. Mountain, Mountain. No, you said. Valley. And I said, good. Just, please, please. Mountain. Yeah, yeah!

All right. Forward. Valley. Yes. Okay. Back up. Mountain. Go down.

Valley. Good. Now. Yin and yang. Mark, I see exactly what you're getting at. And I can tell you, I think we both, though, that's not going to work here. Come on. It's my best chance.

He can do it. He can do this. I'll give Mark an assist because I'm talking so much anyway. He's having you go backward and then forward. Yeah, I see that. The mountain, the valley, the mountain of the valley. They're getting the area. And yang, they go together.

Conceptualize it. We go from mountain to valley. From mountain to valley. Conceptualize it. Yeah, I'm just trying to figure out if it's an area in between. If it's the concept of the whole, whole. the yin and yang they come together to form a whole a whole circle our brains work very differently i'm sorry yeah yeah you're right you're right you're right you're right you're right you're right you're right all right let's uh uh uh

more differentiality her horror oh i believe if you would Mountain Valley Mountain Valley Yen Yang Uh Altitude Alright let's shake it up More Negan

No Not Ha ha ha ha ha You Oh no He's already hitting you with the You I got you

I got you I got you I got you I'm scared Try something different Any anything Anything er. Any anything er. Darkness. Love it. Beautiful.

That's great. Is that my clue? No, I'm complimenting you. This is not your clue. Oh, thank you. Such a good choice. That's a great choice. He's not patronizing you. It's a good choice. It's just how Mark is. Okay. Luminer.

Ooh. Gray. Good. It's good. This is good. I don't know. I'm gonna get there. We're gonna get there.

We gotta believe. There's genius in that gray. There's genius. It's not easy being on either side of this I'm learning. Pot of gold er. Oh, okay. Yeah. Uh-huh.

I'm trying to think like wait here. Supernatural? Afterlifeer. Ghost? Let's back up. Let's back up. Mountain. Yeah.

Okay, good. All right, no, go forward. Uh, gray? Fuck. Whoa. Whoa. I got you on the wrong track. Let's go back to what we were doing before, okay?

I swear we can get there. Okay. How far back am I going? Mountain or like? Mountain. Just mountain? Mountain Valley. Right.

Okay. All right. So I want to explain so badly. But I won't because I would betray it. Lower. Hell? Good. Good. Very yin-yang. Very yin-yang. Love that. Lower.

Devil? Okay. You're getting it. Right? You're getting it. You're getting it. Bottomer. Oh, ah, cavern. Cavern? Feel it. So I want you to feel that. Feel that. Forcher. No? Oh, no. Oh, good. Okay. Lower than hell. Uh, bottom? Hmm. Great. Great. Great. Great.

staying right there but mixing it uper rock bottom mix it up yeah oh man uh bass conceptualizer no don't give up you're right there you're right there you're tickling it I believe in you

hell bottom bottom of hell base every word I'm thinking of takes us further away creation Ah, wait, yes, architecture. Architecture. Yeah, architecturer. God.

Building are re-rer. Are we naming specific buildings in hell? Because I don't know the answer to that. Get out of hell. Oh, get the fuck out of hell. Okay, I'm leaving hell. Leave it hell. Base.

Foundation. Foundation's good. I like that. Foundation's good. Okay, all right. Houseier. Basement. Descriptionier.

Those stories. with a pool and a nice fence. Good, but succinctier. Uh, the suburban. Oh, trendier, trendsier. Stook, stucco. Staco.

Uh, Wade's not exactly up on his architecture trends, I guess. Frank Lloyd Wright. Huh. Well, that's, okay. Okay. Frank Lloyd Wright, I'll take that. Opposite or opposite.

Uh, skyscraper. No, no, no, no. Frank Lloyd Wright got a lot of candlelivered, whatcha call it's and doohickeys and it's got many, many details and things. Uh, modern. Okay. Yes. Yes. Oh, my God.

Continuier. Uh, future. Uh, moreer. Or, uh, not moreer, but, you know, continue a year again. Err. What's the term for like the simple, uh, empty bullshit? I don't know. That's funny. What is the term for that? Oh, man. It's right there.

Oh, man. Oh, it's just blacked out a little bit. Minimalist? Well, okay. Okay. This is great. He's great. I mean, I would love that, but minimalism. Oh, I'm really good at this. Abstractor. Abstractor.

Oh, no. Oh, no. Hold on. Hold on. I'm feeling you. Mountain. No, hold on. Abstractor than minimalism.

Less conjugation. Men. Many. What'd you say? Mini. Mini. Miniature. Oh.

Men. Men. Miniature mini minimal minimise Minimizing Minimalist Minimms Minimalizing I don't know what you guys want for me Is I that close? You show you oh my god you have no idea

Minimum Minimum Minimum Minimum Minim I think the game here is, how many of these can you do before you just die? I would have never gone there from mountain and valley yin and yang. I understand where we're going now, but I don't think I would have ever connected that.

What's that architecture style where it's real plain? That was so good. What is that? What's that word for that? Yeah, the sad thing is whenever we could do since about architecture, I thought of it. I was like, yeah, there's that one where you don't own like anything. It's real simple. I can't think what that's called.

I'll just move on to a different one. Frank Lloyd Wright. Oh, my. Oh, man. Oh. I just couldn't dig in the word for it. That's fair. That's fair.

That's fair. I was really, yeah, because I was like, okay, mountain. Opposite Valley. All right, let's start down feeling this positive, negative thing. Good job, buddy. You did good. You got me there. It's an easy game.

It's an easy game. It's an easy. It's a good. Probably is if our brains were. works the same. It's why it's the easy 3,000, man. All you have to do. All right, I'll get him on the next one.

Oh, yeah, Mark, you have to start it. That's right. I also need to look at the word. Okay. Any words you want, buddy. Does he have it? I got it. Pillow.

I see one path here that is so easy. Please don't fumble this. I will. I will fumble this, but like in a way that I think is great. Okay, good. More face. Did I send you the right word? Hang on

You did, just trust me, trust me I don't trust you. Continue Face pillow I don't want to give it away too much I feel like there's a word I can say it would really give it away You're allowed to succeed quickly It doesn't have to be painful

The joke is not that it has to be painful It's that it is painful sometimes It's allowed to be as easy as it seems That's okay Oh, edibleer. Edibular. I mean, fine. Marshmallow?

Healthier. Macron? Healthier. More yogurt. More organic. Organic yogurt? More natural. Milk?

More vegetation? Do you know words? Yeah, man. Cotton? Or edible? Carrot. Oh, okay. sweeter

rhubarb more tree fruit more exact apple boom what a great run more face

more face more face because pillow he lay out at the back of your head you need to get to the face and then what goes in it I can't help the way my brain works wait the word that you want

For a thing that is edible, sweeter, and more vegetation is called fruit. Word is fruit. You have gone, pillow, fruitier. He might have just said apple, because the top three fruit you guess is like apple, banana, and strawberry. That's like cheating. And we don't want that. I guess that's fair. I just thought fruit was just too big of a jump from Pillow.

See, this is the thing, though. I'm like, it can be easier. And Wade says, can it the... Yeah, I guess, okay, I guess in my brain, like, I'm trying to play off the word he used to, like, get there rather than just like, fuck whatever you said, it's a fruit. Like that, I don't know, that felt, I felt like I had to guide him from pillow more than just. And I appreciate that. I appreciate that. I do.

I mean, you can do that. Okay. Well, we've been playing wrong, I think. At least I have. Well, look, that's, this is the glory of these games that I make you guys play and don't ever let force myself to participate in. You can play it however you want. Oh, just wait. Mark and I will remember one day and we'll make you play.

I doubt it. You're probably right. We'll think about remembering. Wade, guess a word. Oh, okay, Mark, you ready? Yeah. Car. Aliver.

Girath. Shorter. Corgi. Bigger. Sheep. Bigger. Buffalo. Smaller.

German Shepherd. Actually, I retract my smaller. For some reason, I thought of a rhino when you said Buffalo. Buffalo were pretty big. I don't know how they compare size wise. More aggressive. I'm thinking of Buffalo. Hippo.

More aggressive. Lion? American ear. Bear. Oh, bear! I could tell you were stuck in Africa. I could tell you were just like in the savannah. Except for sheep and corgi.

Yeah, that's true. But if it's bigger than that, it's in Africa. I did intend to do another round, but I don't know. We're so quick now. We're on a roll. Yeah, well, I didn't realize the one would be the longest round, and then everything else would be so easy. It turns out getting me to minimal was a problem. Minimum.

Fuck. Are you guys up for one more? Do you have the energy to do with another round? I don't know. I can do another. Wait, I am sending you your word. Now you get to be on this side of one of these. No, no, don't.

Have fun. Cloud. More man-made. Smog. more technological, power plant, more personal, home generator, more entertainment, TV, more screen, theater, more resolution, VR, more ratio, more ratio, is that what you said, you sure? I did, I did. Okay, all right, camera, more viewing, window, more display, monitor, more options

microscope uh ba ba ha ha ha that's more than one word more monitor uh I want so desperately

to help you Wade I could see I could see it display more specific LG 4K OLED display

monitor more 4K 8K More specific More options I'm trying to think of words I've not used I think I used both of those IMAX

More changing 235 widescreen More What the fuck What do you mean more Okay Okay okay

All right Every every film and display term I know I'm just gonna start rattling them off, okay? Viewfinder. Can I say the same thing twice, Bob? Yeah, give the direction you want, man.

More ratio. Who do you mean more ratio? The one way to get here, I don't know. Aside to the fact that it's not working, I think that's actually not a bad direction, Wade. And I'm gonna laugh at you either way, but I can see the vision. Our brains just work so different. Split screen.

More 1080? High definition? More colon. More colon. Oh, fuck. That's so, how does that seem so stupid, but actually makes sense? I don't know. If you know the answer, but not in your top.

I know. It's so hard. Okay. Okay. Okay. I'm getting it. I got it. Uh-huh.

16 by 9. Uh, more term. 1920 by 1080? Less number? Four by three. Uh, more relationship. More, 2560 by 1440.

All right, we're going to try this a third time. More ratio. That'll do it. Yeah, there you go. Get it right to it. Mark, use everything that you know about those things you were saying. Everything I know. about those things, I would say.

Especially some of the numbers. Some of the numbers. But maybe only the shorter numbers. Shorter numbers. Okay. All right. One to one. More perspective?

Oh, God. I feel like I have the one that will get in there. Just say what I'm thinking. Say the words I'm thinking, quick. I don't know what word you're thinking. Less specific. Or words? Is it in the room with me?

Is it in my room? Less crazy. Is it in my room? I don't know if this is the kind of game or I can answer those kinds of questions. You know what, man? Just play the game however you want. I believe in you.

I feel like I'm leading him of the wrong. Rewind. All right, rewinding. One to one. More. General? Square. Different term, aspect ratio. First word. Aspect.

Aspect. It's aspect. I've been trying to get you to aspect from ratio for a long time. More ratio. More specific, more numbers. I thought that was a good clue. You were giving me ratios. I just couldn't get you to tell me that they were ratios. But you said more ratios.

Oh, I gave me more ratios. I know. How else do I tell you? What's the term to get you just to tell me the term? More ratios? Well, Bob, what was the word you had in mine? When he was like 16 by 9, 4 by 3, one to what? I would have been like, the more word.

And he might have said square, but that was where you had to work from, take him directly from the aspect ratios he's listing. Because you kept pushing him to be like more ratios. And then he kept going from aspect ratios. to resolutions. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, I'm gonna stop you there.

I said more ratio. There was never a plural. Whatever, whatever. Once he got away from the ratios, then you were like, describe it. And he was like, the shapes, the, the resolute. You needed to catch him on the ratios and then be like, that but words. Aspect is just such a hard word to get someone to.

That is a tough one. Yeah, that I can see why that's tough. Whenever you were listing off, like, all the aspect ratios, I was like, we just need to get. From specific to general. I get it. I get it. I see.

Yeah. I don't. That's tough. That was tough. I was sort of forget to keep in mind that I designed these games to be fun for me because that's my main motivation. But I don't want you guys to kill each other. And I feel like I'm creating attention.

I don't feel any kind of tension. I more so feel like I'm failing to describe accurately. I'm like, we're right there. I just don't know how to, I don't know how to slide him sideways. Listen, Mark and I have been on both sides of this. We understand the hard. parts of describing and guessing. Okay.

He's given me my word. Oh, okay. I think we can get this. All right. Pizza. More location. Restaurant. More vague.

City. More vague. I wish that my brain was functional so I could think of the term I'm trying to think. I'm just going to say country. That's not what I'm hoping to go for. More vague. Land. Careless.

Place. Careless. There. Care less. Somewhere. More options. Some place? More options.

Wherever. Whoa. Holy shit, man. Oh my God. I don't know how, but like that I was with you. I don't know. I don't know. You guys just locked in so hard on that one.

That was great. That was great. I think Mark has had to give clues about 10. percent as much of the time as he has had to be guessing. You got bear and wherever so fast. I think you gave us an easy one with bear and apple, but, you know, minimum and wherever are such out there concepts. What were the ones I had? I've had.

You had weakness, apple, and aspect. Svincter weakness. Weakness and aspect. Those are tough to get to. Those are tough, yeah. Mark had minimum and wherever, which I feel like I thought would be comparably tough. To be honest, I don't know how we got to wherever. I just didn't, I ran out of terms.

I was like, what else is? See, that was a strategy I thought was going to happen a lot more. Mark got you headed with some momentum and then he was just like, care less, even less, less carry. And that like drove you so far in the right direction that he got you. It just made a lot of progress really quickly. I can't deny. I was out there. And I was like, I can't care too much more.

He told me to care less. And I'm not going to lie. You both lighting up at somewhere had me thinking some or where were part of the word. It was amazing. It was. You guys looked like the sloth in that one was Zootopia where he was like slowly smiling. I hope other people than me enjoy that. But I love that.

That was a good time. Oh, I'm sure they will. Wade, you were into points for. What happened? Tossing on a short joke, which we'll see if that comes back to bite you. See if your body can take it about Mark. not taking care of himself what he probably almost died from a fever

you're a wiener man sphincter you got a point for weakness apple and aspect but you also got points during the gameplay for oh what's that architecture style where you there's nothing and it's

I was like what are the odds that's the word I just can't think of and also you got points for more face more ratio which gives you a total of 10 points, but one of those is a short point. So we'll see what happens with that.

Mark, you earn points for super syringe. Cooking yourself in the heat wave, you survived, which is impressive. You're an illiterate loser because Wade and I both read books. You said a word sideways, which I didn't think was possible. You also got points for minimum, bear, and wherever.

And I gave you a point for, let's go back a step. Take it back a step. Forward. That gave Mark a total of nine points off the rip, which I got to be honest. It felt like I was giving Mark more points, but I think it was just more painful to give Wade points because most of his were from... Thank you. I was laughing.

I was laughing so much that it hurt and also my brain hurt. Anyway, let's see how many bonus spins we have today. I always get to feel so good about my success on this show. Two spinnerinos. Well, that couldn't possibly be bad for me. Couldn't be. No way. I am going to add coolest illness since last episode. Who are you going to give it to Mark's crazy fever or my crazy heart?

It's probably the fever this time. Almost dying is pretty cool. We'll see if I make it back for next week. Otherwise, I hope I get that point. Hey, if you actually die, I feel like that point's yours by default for the rest of eternity. So that makes sense. Too bad, Bob, you can't die. You're immortal.

I know. I put a point on the board I'll never get unbelievable. Uh, spin number one of two. And the words are so small, I can't really tell what it's going to be. Never mind. Will to live. I mean, I can't tell if Mark surviving a very serious illness is a demonstration of his will to live, or the fact that you did not seek out any medical attention or even take your temperature

when you were thought you had a severe fever is a demonstration of your lack of will to live. I would have. I would have. Really feeling we're just riding off. my heart issues here, but yeah, that's fair. I don't think there's a question of your will to live, though. You clearly, you wanted to live. You were concerned about living. If Mark's thing was a demonstration of his will to live,

I think he survived a potentially more serious situation and had more will to live. I don't know. That feels like a stretch. If that's too close, we can spin again, but I feel like... You're the judge. My heart wants to give it to Mark because I'm heavily biased towards him. Hey, is that an insult to me? Because you said your heart?

Yeah. Take that. Okay. I mean, that just ties us up, so honestly that makes it worse for you in the long run. I'll take it. Nothing bad can happen. There's still another spin. Someone has to get a point. It certainly won't be me or the listeners or viewers. Amy has a point potentially on here or something. What about minus 7% of one-man show? Let's not do that. Oh. Oh, shit. None of us lied, though.

A short joke point is not a lie point, is it? No, it's a separate thing. Is this a re-spin or no point? Usually it's the judge's choice, but... Oh, I know which one I would prefer it to be. I can tell you that. Oh, Mark, hold on, yeah, Mark. We want to talk about this?

So we could... It's only a 23% chance of a one-man show right now. That's not that huge. Yeah, it's only basically a one-in-four almost. I mean, I would 100% re-spin if it were me. I'm gonna re-spin! I don't know why I was leaving my favorite to you guys. I don't want to do that.

It's the one that we're. I think it's probably Mark today, isn't it? Oh, wait, yeah, actually. Yeah, I think it's already a gimmie. Actually, yeah, you do kind of just blend into your... Oh, but wait, distractible poster, blue. But by quantity, I think I think I've got this. Yeah, I think Mark has that, actually.

I don't think we... Oh, those are like totally identical. Those are totally identical. Yeah, it's definitely... Okay, well, point to Mark, which means Mark wins. Yay! The come from behind victory. He deserves it.

Oh, I didn't even see you pull on of the coin. I didn't recognize any of us saying that word we're not supposed to say unless we meet it during this episode, but I'm sure it happened. You should have made it one of the words we have to get to. That's been really funny. Oh. That's a good idea.

It's way funnier than anything I put in my game. I'll forget to do that when we do Oxford 3002. Uh, anyway, congratulations, Mark. Uh, Wade, would you like to give your loser's, beach. I want to say aspect and weakness, very difficult words, but you know, Mark and I got there. Minimum. And whatever the other words are I had to get to with Mark Bear, and then that third one, tough. But we did it. We did it. Wherever. And I just, I'm proud of us for succeeding in a very difficult challenge with some really difficult words that have at least two syllables.

So I leave today with my head, hell, hell, hung. I'm hung. And hi. You sure are, man. You sure are. Oh, I meant to throw this in before, Mark, before your winner speech, your glorious winter speech. I did want to give the context of those were all words from the original Oxford 3,000 video, but I switched whose words were whomsts.

I think all the words that I had, Mark guessing, Wade previously had to guess, and vice versa. So those were all words we had previously dealt with. Not a single one of those came back to mind at all as I saw them. Yeah, well, I thought on the long shot that one of you could remember, a free point for you, because you deserve it. Mark, winner's speech. I am very happy to claim this win. More for myself and less for my opponent, because as the winner, I naturally would be happy for myself. And honestly, that's the natural order of things.

As you can see, I read a lot of books and I know a lot of words. I use them sparingly, which is a word I read in a book. Thank you for the win. Congratulations to Mark. You will thusly be hosting the next one. Make sure you check out Distractable.com. There might be merch there. There's probably merch there.
