Wardrobe Wonder Wade gets sore, considers a sartorial upgrade, and gives impossibly vague descriptions. from statistically snuffing it to having a huge O. Yes, it's time for reverse charades. Now sit back and prepare to be distracted and enjoy the show. Hello and welcome back to your mom's favorite podcast.
Starting point is 00:00:51 Yeah, I've probably used that one before. Who cares? This is distractible, and I'm allowed to reuse ideas. that's what we do here. My name's Bob, and I'm the host, because I won the last one. Oh, I'm fine. No, they'll cut that out, I'm sure. I won the last one,
Starting point is 00:01:09 because I'm so smart and good at not dying on camera. I'm joined today, as always, by the two competitors in this episode. They will be competing to see who wins and gets to host the next one. That's the whole thing, and that's what we do. My competitors are, as always, Mark and Wade. Not always.
Starting point is 00:01:26 Sometimes I've been known to host. Pleasure to be here, Robert. Thanks for having me. So that was very serious. Did someone die? Probably. I think statistically the answer to that's yes. Well, that's not good.
Starting point is 00:01:38 And again, just now. Okay, calm down. Welcome back to another episode of Distractable. If you're here, you know what's going to happen. Unless you're new. Which case. God, I hope you're watching the video. God, you better be watching.
Starting point is 00:01:50 You know how we feel about listeners. But yeah, I have a game prepared for today. And it's going to be really funny. just like they always are. We never miss here. But before we get into the definitely funny game, how you doing guys? How's it going? By the time this has come out, I will have honeymoon. I'm gonna tell you what's gonna happen ahead of time and as if it's already happened. Holy shit, this is all planned out. Mark, Mark, some of this can stay secret. It's okay.
Starting point is 00:02:17 You don't have to vlog everything. Here's an hour by hour breakdown of exactly how this adventure is gonna go down. The hour is pretty generous, but all right. Minute by minute. That's pretty generous, but all right. A buy hour by by hour. Semi hour by semi hour. That's pretty generous, but all right.
Starting point is 00:02:37 First, I arrive. Where? I don't know. Let me tell you a story that has nothing to do with this and is relating to something that happened in the past. I arrived in Iceland. And when we were landing, I had read over the itinerary, right? We were going on a little vacation package. So this is going to relate to this somehow.
Starting point is 00:02:55 You'll see. It'll all tie back together. You got some leniency, but you better get to the point, counselor. I looked at the itinerary, and I was like, oh, we're going to the Blue Lagoon Resort, right? Or a hotel or something like that. I don't know. It's a Blue Lagoon. Just a lagoon.
Starting point is 00:03:11 And I was like, Iceland. Yeah, they got weird names over there. It's probably just a funny hotel. You know, Iceland with their funny names and all that stuff and silly words and the way they eat, they eat their horses. It's funny. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. I see all over there's like advertisements on the plain little screen that's like
Starting point is 00:03:30 The Blue Lagoon, you know, Icelandic? Yeah, Icelandic, yeah, the famous Icelandic accent. Yeah, yeah. The Blue Lagoon. And I'm like, wait, why is everyone swimming in the Blue Lagoon? And I'm like, well, that's weird. Everyone's swimming because we're arriving at 6 a.m., right? So I'm like, whoa, I'm going to be tired.
Starting point is 00:03:50 I'm going to be ready to take a nap, go to this hotel, maybe lay down for a bit, uh, relax and then Amy leans over to me is like, all right, you pack swim trunks, right? I'm like, what? Why would I need swim trunks in a hotel? Like a Bond villain hideout is where you just swim to the hotel under the lagoon. And so I basically started, I leaned over to the person in the scene next to us and I asked, what's the blue lagoon? And they looked at me like I was crazy.
Starting point is 00:04:18 They kind of chuckled them themselves. And they didn't answer, right? So now They only spoke Icelandic You had to What is the blue lagoon? What is the blue lagoon? Yeah, you didn't say it right
Starting point is 00:04:31 And then I ask Amy like What's the blue lagoon? She's like, how can you not know what the blue lagoon is? It was on the itinerary We're going there first Do you have your swim trucks? And I'm like, What's the blue lagoon?
Starting point is 00:04:46 So the Blue Lagoon, I don't even know if that's the name of Blue Lagoon, Iceland. You're really funny. It's not. It is now. It is a very large, uh, world-renowned geothermal spa in Iceland. So by asking around her trying to anyway, Amy was extremely embarrassed by me asking what the most famous geothermal spa in Iceland was.
Starting point is 00:05:11 Might as well just ask, what's Iceland. But she didn't tell me the entire time we were walking through the airports. There's big wall billboards of come to the blue lagoon. And I'm like, I don't know what it is. What would anyone tell me? No one will tell me. And literally Amy was like, I'm not telling you. I am not going to tell you.
Starting point is 00:05:29 You should have read the itiner. And I did, I swear. So she refused to tell me until I got outside. And then we had a local guide drive us to the Blue Lagoon. And I was not allowed to ask him what it was. Amy forbade me from asking. It's a big two thermal pool. It's very nice.
Starting point is 00:05:50 Sounds fun. Yeah. It was pretty nice. So I'm not going to read the itinerary for what's coming in Norway, but I assume that there's some kind of lagoon over there. You really learned your lesson. I'm going to know even less this time, so I won't be confused. You're just sitting on the plate in swim trunks and like arm floating.
Starting point is 00:06:09 It's like, what's the lagoon? What color's the lagoon? Tell me about the lagoon. You've got your mountain climbing gear, right? Is that your parachute backpack or your regular backpack? So, yeah, I got that. That's going to be the entire crux of the honeymoon. And that's all that's going to happen.
Starting point is 00:06:29 Just every day, every activity, Amy is like, oh, you better get dressed. And you start pulling out your like polar ski outfit or swim. You're like gauging Amy's reaction. Like, tuxedo, not tuxedo. Nope, didn't like that. Oh, what do we do? I packed for every occasion because I have no idea what the occasions are. And then I just laugh it off when she gets.
Starting point is 00:06:51 gives me the look and I'm just like, that was a joke. Remember when I didn't know what the Blue Lagoon was? She puts on like a hazmat suit and you're like, the one thing I didn't pack. That's when you put on your tuxedo and go out with style. Anyway, so yeah, I will have a honeymoon and it will be great, I think. I hope it will be was a good time. It will was. It will was.
Starting point is 00:07:17 You will have done it or you had already have done it. Wade, what honeymoon mystery are you experiencing in this past week have had you? You know, I don't have any alcohol down here, so I'm just going to take a sip of water, but pretend. Been a week, Bob. Been a week. Oh, okay, there it is. Yeah. Didn't get the play Slough of Spire with you guys at all this week, and I actually ate pretty well.
Starting point is 00:07:43 I'm sore. You know, the people who tell you that you only get sore for like two days after exercising or liars. I played basketball on Monday. We got together Tuesday, right? I was like, I'm a little sore for playing basketball. We already talked about this this week. I'm still fucking sore. My arm's still hurt.
Starting point is 00:07:58 That's been four days ago. But I still been moving around trying to get some exercise in. Like my legs are fine because I've been walking, but did not play more basketball since Monday. So tomorrow, whenever I finally stopped crying, go shoot some big old hoops. I put on a sleeveless shirt to play. And it's one that I had when I was like, it was back. You know, the style when we were in high school was like baggy clothes. So I had this baggy basketball shirt.
Starting point is 00:08:20 I put it on. And I've got like beer belly hanging out. Every time I jump, my like belly falls out of the bottom and the shirt like sits on top. And my nephew's looking at me like, oh man, you really, you're sure you want to play that? Wear that in front of your neighbors and, you know, birds and stuff. Like people and animals are watching here. The birds are going to laugh at you a lot. I think they did.
Starting point is 00:08:41 So it might be time to upgrade my wardrobe a little bit. I've learned. You are allowed to buy a new clue. I mean, honestly. Honestly, good on you for making clothes last because that is, you know, fast fashion has its downsides and it's, you know, you don't need to be going burning through clothes. But since high school, I think you're allowed to. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:00 I think you're allowed to have bought some shirts since then. Not saying we're old, but I think we're all feeling that we're kind of old. Older than half my life ago, some of these shirts I still wear, you know, like junior, I still have a couple of sleeveless shirts from junior high that I'm like, ah, my lucky sleeveless shirt, I put it on twice a year. The logo, it was like a UC Bearcat shirt, but all of the logo is gone. So I was just like a blank red shirt with like one little black splotch where there was once a pall. You know, you buy more shirts.
Starting point is 00:09:27 But I know what shirt it is. I know what the logo used to look like. You could buy UC shirts at gas stations in Cincinnati. It's not hard. I want UC to call me and let me go and talk to their like streaming podcasting classes. I know they've got them. They have that. It just took my niece to Georgia State.
Starting point is 00:09:44 They had a whole building that was like technology. and something. I should probably know what the building was called. But like, yeah, we have this big podcasting room and there's like different classes where they're, it's like, they teach podcasting? What do they? I just want to be a fly on the wall.
Starting point is 00:09:58 You could really benefit from that. I could use a lot of help, yeah. Do they let seniors audit classes, you know, like a keep active sort of thing? I'm your age. Oh, I was thinking seniors like college. I was like, well, yeah. No, he met grandparents.
Starting point is 00:10:15 Senior citizens. There's like, you know, there's those elder education programs where it's like, hey, you got to eat, you want to do something fun? Come take, come take some classes. I grade and I bottled. I bottled. I grade and bottled early, but I'm still, you know. Man, that really rewrites some of our most iconic bits. I just can't get out of my head now. You just going, and I'm bottled. I keep getting recommended our shorts lately. I keep watching them. They're all pretty good. We have funny. moments. I didn't know we were funny. Yeah, occasionally. Sometimes. If only we had our clips game on, that's a bad way to say it. Our highlight, real goodness, posting, you know? If we did that good, think of where we would be. A little bit further ahead? Yeah, or something like that. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:06 A little bit louder now. I really liked being at college, and there was a time where I thought I was going to go into being a college professor of philosophy until all my philosophy professors like pulled out a cigarette out of knowing. They're like, don't do it. You don't want to be like us. Do something or anything else. I was like, all right. And they all smoke like this. That's how philosophy professor smoke. It's part of the rules. I puff, therefore I am. That's how they flick. I don't know. I never smoked. Yeah, that's how cool people flick cigarettes. I don't know. I think that'd be fun. It'd be fun to go just be a guest or be a fly on the wall or even just
Starting point is 00:11:38 not to get a degree, but just to go like sit in some of these classes and see what they're teaching. Because like, I'm fascinated to know. How do you have a whole class? on doing something that I think we're pretty I shouldn't say we're, I'm pretty stupid and somehow it's worked out, but like, what am I supposed to be doing to get here? I don't know, no, man. Probably exactly everything we did on the way here. I know a couple of our friends have gotten to go
Starting point is 00:11:59 and be like guest speakers at colleges and high schools and I'm like, I want to do. It's like wanting to be a juror. I've never had to be a juror. They never call me for that either. It's like the things I want to do, no one ever calls me for. I'm not going to call the college, be like, please let me come teach you.
Starting point is 00:12:13 I'm begging you. Do you have a business email with which they could somehow? Yeah, I never checked that. Okay, all right then. Well, all you university people who are typing up that email, throw it in the trash. It's not going to be seen. I get the alumni emails where they ask me for money. And do you give money?
Starting point is 00:12:31 Do you give money? No. I hate those kids. Maybe that's how you get into the classroom is you need to give them the money first, and then they'll let you teach. I want to teach your class. Here's money. Is that how old you become a teacher?
Starting point is 00:12:43 I guess it is not you become a teacher. Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's how it works. I don't know what my small talk was, but that was it. I wrote down points. Great. I know I'm the host, so my small talk really doesn't matter, and I'm not important. But get ready for a lot more of this. I don't know if you can tell, but I'm real crispy.
Starting point is 00:12:59 Today was the official opening day of our pool. This is the first time since we moved six plus months ago where the pool was open. The chemicals were balanced, which I've been. battling with for like a week and a half has been really fucking annoying and we did it and we swam in the pool like all day today and so i'm pretty red and crispy and i'm definitely going to be kind of sunburny for the whole summer i'm used to pools that open until like may or june so it's wild that you guys are like able to swim and stuff yeah i mean it was it was not like hot today but it was warm enough and sunny and with and the pool is heated so if you were in the water it was great and as soon as you got
Starting point is 00:13:38 out it was kind of like ha let's go inside you probably like cool water see i I like bath water. I mean, it's heat. It's a heated pool. It's warm. Pool's heated to like, I don't know, 80 some degrees, 84 degrees or something. It's pretty warm. See, I'm the guy that went to Florida in July in the pool that's been sitting in the sun baking.
Starting point is 00:13:54 Could basically boil a lobster hot, but I'm like, oh, that's great. I go to the ocean. I'm like, that's a little chilly, even though, like. Well, the ocean is cold. The ocean is still. I'm talking about like the Gulf in summer where it's not cold. It's still cold. It's natural water is always cold.
Starting point is 00:14:08 It's so cold. I think. Thanks. You can have it, though, because you're the. host. Anyway, I'm definitely going to show up to some episodes over the course of the summer and be catastrophically sunburnt. So you love that to look forward to. It's probably going to be pretty funny. It's a big pool, right? We could fit a pontoon or something in there so we can do a boat episode? No, we're doing a boat episode in the pool. We have to. Okay, cool. It's big enough to fit very funny things.
Starting point is 00:14:32 Carnival or one of the cruises will sponsor us and they're going to put a cruise ship in your pool. What was that private yacht collection we read commercials for? Can we get a private yacht in my pool? Oh yeah, that was the It was the hotel, the famous hotel But they have a yacht club Wait, when the hell did you guys read a You guys read, did you guys get a sponsor? That I wasn't there for?
Starting point is 00:14:51 No, no, we talked about this. You were there. What kind of luxury thing did you go on? What do you mean? We talked about this. I don't remember it. We did a Ritz-Carlton Yacht Club read. The three of us did it
Starting point is 00:15:00 Because I remember talking about it. We did a Ritz-Carlton ad read? It was the Ritz-Carlton private yacht collection, something, something. And I'm not going to say it was during the part of the final stretch of movie production where you were absolutely killing yourself working 20 hours a day fitting podcasts in whenever you could around the clock. But you might not remember it for a reason. Did you guys get yachts? And I didn't.
Starting point is 00:15:32 I wish. I literally said a couple emails and was like, hey, I know we get samples sometimes. I would take a sample of a yacht. I don't know how you get yacht samples, but... Just send the money. I learned from watching that Oprah car giveaway that the people that won the car still had to pay taxes and stuff on them.
Starting point is 00:15:51 I don't know if I want to pay taxes on a free yacht. It's why modern car giveaways, it's always like, win a 2026 Chevy Corvette and $25,000. You don't get to keep the money that's to cover the taxes on the car. Yeah, that makes sense. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:16:04 What's the tax on a yacht? Probably high. Well, don't rich people not pay tax? There's probably no tax on a yacht. It's probably a tax exempt. So if they give you the yacht, you become rich, you don't pay taxes anymore? It's a yacht for educational purposes, so there's no taxes. Hmm.
Starting point is 00:16:19 To learn about how yachts are. You educate? That's stupid. I'm not going to finish that statement word. Wait, I don't even know where you were going. Yeah, I was trying to buy yacht and education, but it didn't, yeah, education, but just education with a yeah. It was stupid.
Starting point is 00:16:33 It was stupid. That's why I said it was stupid. I wouldn't move on. Education. That's better than. education Yachtication Educat
Starting point is 00:16:41 Yatzeication Educatia Ya education Oh I didn't That was too That was something I didn't like it
Starting point is 00:16:49 It was off pudding Sorry Alright You guys want to play a game Mm-hmm You don't have a choice Because I'm the host And that's what we do here
Starting point is 00:16:59 But it's real easy You guys familiar with charades There's no way What This is a quick aside Last night Apparently I like woke up
Starting point is 00:17:10 last night and I had a moment where I was like, man, I've got this great idea for a podcast episode. I type myself a note to remember today and all I typed on the note. Pictionary podcast. That's literally all I wrote and I woke up today and I was like, the fuck does I feel like, what was the idea? I stole your idea and also this could not have less to do with Pictionary. You know charades. One person like draws a card.
Starting point is 00:17:38 They get a thing. They have to act it out. And the other people have to guess what it is. We're not doing that. I like to call this reverse charades. One person is going to be given the card. It's going to, I mean, they're going to be easy. That person has to tell the other person what to do.
Starting point is 00:17:58 And the person acting out whatever it is has to guess what the word is that they're acting out. I love it. All right. This is great. Okay. It's reverse or inverse charades. I don't know. It's different charades. So we're going to go back and forth, and I'm going to flip a coin to see who gets to go first.
Starting point is 00:18:15 Getting some more space for this so that I know that there's going to be a lot of physicality here. This is, I'm trying to keep it to where, like, you can stay at your desk, but like, you can get crazy with it. You guys are allowed to escalate this to wherever it wants to go. I'm not going to limit you. Could I limber up? I think that's entirely unwaid's hands at this point. I don't know. This is my limbering.
Starting point is 00:18:35 That's the maximum limbering I can do. You look so limber. lady is Wade, Lion is Mark. I definitely need to stretch because I just told you I'm still sore as hell. Wait. All right, the lady goes first.
Starting point is 00:18:48 That means I'm going to give, I'm going to send you a word in our secret private chat, Wade, and that's going to be your word. There's going to be a timer on this, right? So you get... Oh, good. Okay, I didn't explain all the rules.
Starting point is 00:19:00 It's very... It's not convoluted. It's all is fine. There's going to be a timer, and Wade, you get a point if Mark successfully guesses it, and Mark gets a point if I successfully guess it before he says it. I'm going to write my guesses down in my notes.
Starting point is 00:19:17 So shouldn't he just never guess it? No, you have to participate. We don't do that. Come on now. Come on, everyone's participating. Do I need to structure it in a way where you're forced to participate, otherwise you suffer? No, I will because I just want to be able to guess it.
Starting point is 00:19:31 What is it the first year of the podcast? I don't know what year we are. Every, every game, every episode was like, I'm suspicious about something. Something ain't right. Something. I'm not doing it. That's true. That's so true.
Starting point is 00:19:47 Ever since, was it secret words that really broke us as friends? Yeah, yeah, yeah, it did. Yeah, yeah, that's true. I'm setting the timer at three minutes. Wait, I'm going to send you your word. I was going to say, I haven't seen the word yet, but okay, you haven't said it. That's good. Fine, calm down.
Starting point is 00:20:00 I'm going to set the timer five minutes. We'll see how that plays. I'm going to send Wade the word and then start the timer. It's a good thing Mark's limber. Yeah. Ready? Yeah. Go.
Starting point is 00:20:12 I almost just send it to the wrong person. It's fine. Oh, okay. Mark, I need you to with your two hands, put them together like at the wrist. No, no, no, like hands facing out. Like you're waving with both hands, but you're touching at the wrist. But at the wrist? Yeah, then spread your hands out and hide your thumbs.
Starting point is 00:20:34 Hide my thumbs. I just thought so it's just the eight other fingers. And then I want you to kind of wiggle them and start high. High? And you're going to see an enemy. See an enemy. That's not it. That's not it.
Starting point is 00:20:53 Keep going. Pretend you have them dropping down from something. Like a... What? That's just the... Pretend I have them dropping. down from something, eh? This is the craziest way you could have done this.
Starting point is 00:21:09 I know, man. I'm much better at the acting that I am to describe, and we know this about me. All right, continue, continue. Three minutes, 50 seconds. Continue. Okay, pretend I have them dropping down like it's... But kind of like wiggle them around and, uh, make like, um, uh, snowflake pattern. How?
Starting point is 00:21:28 What? How? Not with your fingers. Not with your fingers. Then with what? Your both, the hands together. You're gonna drop down and kind of like move in like a diamond shape Move them to keep them together no no no wrist
Starting point is 00:21:41 I'm wrist together no yep keep going perfect perfect yep Move them down and moving for all the listeners my hands are doing nothing what he's saying Never am I you know what we're gonna start over I got a better idea I got a better idea Uh-huh walk like you're kind of just strutting your stuff okay you're gonna strut your stuff you're walking around and All of a sudden stop and look very like you Bob I hate this fucking kid
Starting point is 00:22:11 I'm by doing it I'm perplexed as hell I want to jump in and do this so badly because you're so close to doing it right you're walking and then you're going to come to a sudden stop and start reaching at your face and start picking something off and kind of like flinging it away throwing it
Starting point is 00:22:28 spit a little you're disgusted I walked into a spider nest Oh, spider web, spider web, I'm so good at this. Spider web, spider web. What the fuck is this? I was trying to get you to make a web as a spider. He was trying to get you to make a spider with your head.
Starting point is 00:22:50 Why was my wiggling? That was the craziest shit you could have possibly done. I'm crazy. We know it. All right, watch me. I mean, yeah, listen to me and I'll watch you. It got there, didn't we? Also, Bob, I feel like the guessing for you is going to be really...
Starting point is 00:23:07 No, you know what? Once I said it out loud, I heard it because I'm telling you what the word is. So I just gave Mark the point immediately because I was right. It was Spider-Web. Okay, good. That's right. I write some of these ideas down at three in the morning when I can't sleep, and I'm not going to lie. Oh, me too.
Starting point is 00:23:24 I didn't think that one all the way through can tell I, it's fine. I'm not, so we're not going to do that. It's fine. But Mark was a very good sport. And Mark did a very good job guessing. And I'm going to give Mark five minutes on this next one, but I think we're going to turn the time down on the next round. Because you finished that with like two and a half minutes.
Starting point is 00:23:39 And you did just an awful job, Wade. Oh. Couldn't have been very much worse to start off on that one. Anyway, Mark, you ready? Yes. Go. Oh, I have any way out. It's in the chat.
Starting point is 00:23:55 Okay, okay. Wade, go to the left side of frame. My left or your left? Either left. Doesn't matter. You gotta go to the frame. Okay, now, there's a fence in the middle of your camera, right? Okay, so you're gonna, you're gonna go and you're gonna jump over it,
Starting point is 00:24:12 and then do it again. Well, okay, but I mean, yeah, go back to the beginning and then, you know, just hop. Hop. All right, whatever. Okay. I'm hopping. No, over the fence, the fence, the fence, you can just get repetitious action. Repetitious action.
Starting point is 00:24:31 Hopscotch. Uh, uh... Yeah, but more gently and, you know, do it softer. Softly jump over the fence. Okay, all right. Now, now, sit back down and you're watching that happen in front of you. You're watching it. Your head, head track it with your head. Uh-huh.
Starting point is 00:24:55 Okay, all right, it's a whole bunch of them. They're not hopping back and forth. They're not. You got that in your mind. Counting sheep. Oh, I'm going to count that. I'm going to count that. It's just sheep. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:25:09 I don't know how would you, other than go bad like a sheep. Yeah. Well, isn't that just the bitch of it? I was like, okay, that's a bunny. It's hopscotch. It's jumping jacks. It's the horses. It was an obtuse way to go.
Starting point is 00:25:25 It's the only thing I thought of. That's what I thought with a dangling spider, but you know, it didn't work out for me. All right, sister, doing so well. Oh, no. I'm gonna keep it easy. This is gonna be fine. Oh, God. We're gonna do three minutes, and Wade, you have your word.
Starting point is 00:25:43 Ready set, go. Okay. Mark, you're, you have to stay on camera, but you're laying down. Okay. Stop. We need those. He can't hear you right now. That would help if he could hear me.
Starting point is 00:25:58 Cross one arm over your left. shoulder, your left arm over your to your right shoulder and you're yeah cross your arms like that. Okay, eyes closed and now all of a sudden burst your eyes away and take like a big breath. I'm a mummy. Vampire? Not in the living head. Okay, let's go back to eyes closed, mouth closed, and uh shake your body like you're getting electric jolts. And then I have your eyes and mouth open. I'm a vampire. I'm a mummy. What the fuck else? Uh, okay. Uh, the electric jolts are stemming from your chest.
Starting point is 00:26:33 I'm a patient and cardiac arrest. I'm in the rescue position or whatever this is. I'm about to go down a water slide and they're cattle prodding me to go down because I refuse to make the jump and I passed out at the top. Okay. Uh, remember these are like short, easy one word things, right? Like one or two words. Minute 30. Okay.
Starting point is 00:26:55 Uh, go back to eyes closed. Okay. Mouth closed. Let's drop our arms to our side. and now you're going to feel, just have your chest kind of like it's being pushed, and then open your mouth a little bit, and imagine someone pinching your nose and blowing into your mouth.
Starting point is 00:27:13 I'm a CPR patient. Wait, I'm an error bag. I'm a, I'm a, I'm a balloon. Okay, got it, got it. Let's go a different direction real quick. Move around, move around like your whole box. body's made of wood. Now,
Starting point is 00:27:33 uh, when you talk, pretend your nose grows. Pinocchio? But all of a sudden, you're no longer made of wood. I'm a real, I'm a real boy.
Starting point is 00:27:44 Just find some parallel between these things. 25 seconds. Uh, homunculus. A, a, eh,
Starting point is 00:27:54 uh, uh, uh, uh, eyes closed, mouth closed, arms inside. You're right now you're three. I am dead. I am but when you open your eyes. Oh, he said undead. Yeah, we were close. You were close. Wade, he did really good. You just
Starting point is 00:28:14 needed to like what was the word? What was the word? It was alive. He got you right to like, you were dead. Well, okay. The thing is I've got to give him actions, right? Yeah, but like, No, I see it now. I see it kind of, I don't get the wooden plank thing. Well, I was trying to be your Pinocchio and now you're alive. You're a real boy. You're alive. You're not just.
Starting point is 00:28:38 Oh, oh. I was panicking with 30 seconds to find another alive parallel. I was good. Okay, all right. I got it. That's my bad. That's my bad. Yeah, I got the vampire like coming back.
Starting point is 00:28:47 You were undead rather than alive. So I was like, okay, we got to get away from that. Let's go with like CPR or the paddles or something. I was trying to bring you back to life. I get it now. I get it now. I feel like you just kept giving up right when Mark was on the precipice and being like, let's try something else completely.
Starting point is 00:29:03 Well, it was, it was, I felt like I was only allowed to give him actions as clues. I couldn't just be like, synonym for, like, I couldn't do that. So it was like, what's another action I can do to come back to life? No, I appreciate sticking to the rules. At least I didn't switch to the birth canal. I was going to go that route. That would have got me right there. I didn't have time.
Starting point is 00:29:21 I was like, okay, you're sperm. You hit an egg. All right, you're popping out your baby. Oh, well, then we'd switch to the birth. gotta define exactly what people are debating whether you are or are not this thing how many weeks has it been fully had gone that route all right mark are you prepared to instruct oh yeah I cannot tell if these are harder or easier I'm honestly trying to match the difficulty so there you go right said there's your
Starting point is 00:29:46 word be small well okay all right we're going there you're tiny yeah to idious biddius flatten out smaller flatter smaller flatter flatter you all right oh he's nailing this flows flat flat flat flat flat flat flat you all right and now open on one hinge for the listeners he rolled to his right okay all right okay let's this isn't working. Two minutes. Back out a bit. Back out a bit. Back out a bit. Make a humming sound. Uh huh? Is that the whole instruction? Okay, now the humming, rise to humming in pitch and then start sweating.
Starting point is 00:30:52 Start sweating? Start sweating? Start sweating. A minute 30 And you can't move by the way Oh, okay, and now bring it down Oh, stop sweating Back down to idle No, keep the humming going What are you?
Starting point is 00:31:11 Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha A tea kettle Stip done by a T-Rex, I don't fucking know Remember these are like one or two words things are like simple things. Yeah, okay. All right. Do the humming?
Starting point is 00:31:28 Now you've, you just lost power. Okay, turn back on. Hold on a second. Now lose power in a dramatic fashion. All right, okay, that's my bad. Turn back on. Turn off, but in kind of a disherendo.
Starting point is 00:31:55 I can't remember. Oh. Power switch, power off, uh, toggle, surge, uh... 15 seconds. Generator, uh, flat hinge. Uh, uh, oh. Make a box. Box.
Starting point is 00:32:10 With your arms. A box. Now, now narrow the box. Narrow the box. Now push your arms out from your forehead, straight out. The 90 degrees and then down. Last guess. Oh, the, the, the, the, uh, the.
Starting point is 00:32:26 I'm a wajouge! No, Colin, that's wrong. The word was computer. What exactly were you trying to think of with the wajouge? I was thinking of like Dr. Arnold and Jurassic Park pulling the fucking power. Yeah, yeah. All right, make a humming noise. Okay, now power off dramatically.
Starting point is 00:32:56 All right. That is dramatic. If my computer did that, I'd be very worried. That would be terrible news. If your computer did that, that would not be good. Mark, I just want you to remember. Let's both remember this when Bob gets a one-man show. All right, okay.
Starting point is 00:33:12 We'll give him some easy words. All right, I have another easy one. Wade, are you ready for another easy one? I'm limber. Oh, fuck me. Yeah, let's do it. Wade, begin. Okay, I want you to stand with your arms at your side.
Starting point is 00:33:28 Yeah, that's fine. And start counting down from like 10 in your mind. And as you get to like three, start shaking and get more and more like violent with the shaking and then slowly rise. Am I the Artemis rocket? I'm going to count that. I'm going to count that rocket. It's rocket. The word the word is rocket. Oh, thank God. I'm so good at this. I felt so much better than an alive in spite. I finally at least feel competent. Oh, I'm the best. Oh man Yes That was a good description right I finally did good That was pretty good yeah
Starting point is 00:34:03 But my genius interpretation Of is what gets the point here At least I feel good about myself For a moment After alive and Spider web I was feeling pretty low Get ready That's good
Starting point is 00:34:12 I'll change that I mean you can do whatever you want You know that I give people points For laugh causing me to laugh That's true That's true All right Mark you ready Right set go
Starting point is 00:34:24 Be flat Get flat flatter. Get flat. Now stretch out. Stretch. Stretch. Super knot out. Along. Long. Get long. Now flat. Enter a lower dimension. What are you? Here I am.
Starting point is 00:35:00 Going down? What is it? I'm in hell. Okay. All right. All right. Hold your hand in front of your face. Now turn it sideways. Thin, paper, skinny, scrawny. Hmm? Go up and down with it. Huh? Go up and down with it.
Starting point is 00:35:18 Split. Uh, divided, cut. Uh, duh. Take, take your finger. Put it off frame. Now, go to the other side. Slowly. Eye exam?
Starting point is 00:35:35 Oh, no. Close your eyes. Minute 10. Close your eyes. eyes, feel as you do that thing I said. Drag pulled. Oh god. Oh, okay. All right, forget everything I said. Stand at with your hands in your pockets. You're, you're looking out, you're waiting, right? Wait. Check your watch. Say out loud, man, when's this train gonna get here? Time, pace, wait, bored, uh, nothing think. 30 seconds.
Starting point is 00:36:06 Uh, look at your, what's on your shirt right now. Nothing. Uh, plane. Plain, fabric, cotton. No, look at what's laying across. Headphone. Oh, 20 seconds. Oh, wait. You've got people in front of you and behind you, and you're standing. Line.
Starting point is 00:36:26 Ah! Oh! Oh, wait 10 seconds left when it come back. Oh! Oh, yeah, you said put me in a line of people. I was right there with you online. Okay, yeah. Got scared you.
Starting point is 00:36:42 I almost got you there All right Well I will say I'm just using a website for this I didn't think of these things I've been keeping it on easy Oh good I'm gonna tweak the settings a little bit
Starting point is 00:37:00 Well look there's easy medium hard and really hard And I can also pick the number of words I'm not gonna go to the highest of either of them Does that make you feel any better? No Those aren't related What the fuck? Hang on.
Starting point is 00:37:16 This is just too random. I thought it would be like, okay, I'm going to stick to one word. Oh, you thought it was going to be like a phrase? Yeah, the first one was muscle drums. I was like, that's not a thing. That's not a thing. All right, it's Wade's turn again. And since we're making it more difficult, I'm going to take 30 seconds away from you.
Starting point is 00:37:35 Okay, good. So you have two minutes and 30 seconds. Wade, I'm about to send you your word. And it's not very hard. It's just medium. All right. Ready? Set, I typed that in the wrong box.
Starting point is 00:37:48 Ready? Set, your charade. All right, put your leg, stand up, and put your leg up like you're propping it up on something. And then reach up and adjust maybe like a fancy hat on your head. And then put your hands out in front of you and grab a boat wheel, like a boat steering wheel, Captain.
Starting point is 00:38:16 Oh! Oh! You could have not said 90% of that. It's still caught Captain. Well, I was going for some weird reason. The first thing I thought of was the alcohol, Captain, whatever the fuck. I loved it.
Starting point is 00:38:31 That was great. Put your leg up. Immediately, I could see Mark's face was like, my leg is up? Well, I was like, picture the guy with his leg on the barrel with the captain's head. I was like, wait, I can't say that. You know, Captain Morgan.
Starting point is 00:38:43 That's his name. I could think of the name. I was like, you know, that guy, Morgan. Put your leg up on a barrel and hand me alcohol. Who are you? All right. This one could be esplanulated in a thousand ways.
Starting point is 00:39:00 This might be too easy for how good you have been, Mark. You know I'm going to fucking not guess it. I'm going to look really stupid now. Well, it will be probably easier if I don't send you a typo. Ready, set. Parade. Hold your arm up. Now hold your other arm like this.
Starting point is 00:39:21 perpendicular like, okay? Now bring them together. Not that far. Bring it a little, a little closer. Yeah. Now look, put your head through that gap. No, not all the way through. Just frame your, yeah, but step, lean your head back.
Starting point is 00:39:36 Now look at the intersection. And then gesture the intersection towards me like that, like this. As if I'm supposed to. to get it because you're playing charades, right? Look, look down at the other second, you go, like, look at me and go, uh, uh, uh, okay, all right, what are you? Stop sign.
Starting point is 00:39:54 Now, you're never going to get this. Okay, all right, forget this, everything about this. You're walking upstairs, can't trip a little bit. Stumble. Yeah, you got long, you got long, trip up a little bit. Go up those stairs, you got long, you got long on. I was tripping my long patch.
Starting point is 00:40:14 My long shorts, my long legs. My long slippers. One minute. My long dick is getting in the way of the stairs. I see the vision, Mark. Don't surrender. All right. Then you're done with the stairs.
Starting point is 00:40:28 Now you're just walking. Extend your right hand out. Extend your left hand over your right hand. With your, the first hand, I forget which one it was. Move it up and down. And with your other hand, Grab on to something. No.
Starting point is 00:40:48 It's in massitary. Just grab onto something. 20 seconds. Walk away. Guess something. You have 12 seconds. The French made vacuum clear. What did you grab?
Starting point is 00:41:08 Broom, mop, vacuum, sweep. Three. A flat, become flat. Put yourself on a wall. Final guess. guess. You have one more guess. Dust pen? No. No. No. No.
Starting point is 00:41:22 I just throw out words, man. It's because it's like a different version of the word for the thing, I was like, oh, man, it's degree. You were accepting your degree. Uh-huh. And so this, it was supposed to be. I figured this would get you close to angle, but, you know. I think you could have got me there more with the stairs. I don't, I don't, I understand. Except the diploma, you're shaking hands. grab it, okay.
Starting point is 00:41:47 I couldn't just said, you're walking on a stage, you know, in a row, but it could have said that, but I didn't. Instead, I was just on a random staircase
Starting point is 00:41:53 walking like, no, the stairs were done. You were done with the stairs. I'm sure I was done with the stairs. That's like, Gondam style. I,
Starting point is 00:42:01 look, it's, it's so pretty, you do this, and you grab, and you, and you take your, uh,
Starting point is 00:42:06 and then, and then, and good, who, I should have gotten there, but I didn't close. You've been doing so well, Wade,
Starting point is 00:42:14 that I feel like, I had to turn it up to difficulty again. So I'm going to give you a really hard one. Are you ready? How much time do I have, two and a half still? I'm going to leave the time. I feel like we're at a good amount of time. I don't want to torture you too badly.
Starting point is 00:42:28 Wait, here's your word. Go. Mark, okay. You're standing, you're leaning up against a post or something. You've got your back leaning up. And you're going to stand there, look at your watch, and kind of look around with like a dirty look, right? Now you're just going to keep on standing there
Starting point is 00:42:47 and pretend someone approaches you a police officer approaches you and they point and gesture at you and kind of like wave yeah yeah and then start walking away and then you stop walking and you lean up against a post again and then you're going to look smugly back
Starting point is 00:43:08 in the direction of the cop and then just stand there and look at your watch I'm a criminal. I'm loitering. I'm a loitering. I'm a loiterer. I'm a loiterer. Yes. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:43:24 It's, I'm a loiterer. It's literally loiterer. Oh, God, you're so smart and beautiful. Oh. I really pieced it together after a while there. I really pieced together, yeah. God, I can't believe you got that.
Starting point is 00:43:39 Sometimes I feel like, am I allowed to describe this? That was so good. When you started and he was kind of just doing it, I was like, I don't know if Mark's following him along on this, but he did. He took the journey. That was so beautiful. If you hadn't gotten there from, I was like, I have no other directions for you. How else do I describe loitering other than someone who is loitering? Mark, I'm so sorry.
Starting point is 00:44:01 That was great. The only reason I know that is because Brian Regan, what you're in for? Loitering. As soon as I saw the word, I was like, Mark and I could get this in two seconds. You're in prison. a guy looks at you and is like, what are you in for? Loitering. I'm a loiterer.
Starting point is 00:44:19 I don't want anywhere to be. I didn't have that knowledge. Some of us are better friends than others. Are we bad friends for not showing him, Brian Regan? Probably. I'm objectively a bad friend to Wade. We live close enough that we can hang out all the time and I just don't ever, we don't do that.
Starting point is 00:44:35 You don't do it either. It's not like you text me a lot and I say no, but I don't do it either. And I get, I get credit for that for being, not being a very good friend. That's totally fair. Same here. Mark, I'm real sorry about this. By which I mean, I'm sure it's going to be fine, and I'm 90% sure this is equally as hard as Lloyderer was.
Starting point is 00:44:54 But you have to tell it to Wade. Ready set, charade. Put your leg up on a thing. Now fix your hat like it's real fancy. Now you've got something big and heavy, carrying with both hands, hobbling along. My leg still up? Okay, yeah, yeah, you stand up and you have a big heavy thing and your one one leg
Starting point is 00:45:20 Hire it chest booty. Okay, and then you set it set it down sit back down All right, I've we okay, rub your hands like this Greed gold treasure wiggle your fingers like your your your spider or something. Yeah, do a little more rubbing Put your fists at your chin and part it Minute 30. Yeah, reach up into the gap. Pull out, like you're pulling out something. And kiss it.
Starting point is 00:45:51 Move your hand towards the big heavy thing you just sat down. Key, lock, unlock. Okay, turn. Turning the key, opening the chest. You sure are. Then move, yeah, put your hands both like this and then move them up and over. Okay, reveal buried treasure, Doug. You put your hands at.
Starting point is 00:46:13 your head and you go with a big make your mouth into an oh breathe out oh hands like this hands pointed fingers pointed down reach down in there put your fingers kind of together and scoop up coins gold uh gold coin uh silver coin uh de blooms uh oh oh it's de bloone oh i had to paint the whole picture right i had to had to take you on that journey i was like okay it it's It's the beard beads. I need the beard beads. No, I don't. I need, oh, it's my hat again.
Starting point is 00:46:48 I was trying to do everything without saying, part your beard. I feel like you're over-restricting yourself. I think you could have said some more words in there, but you did it. You did it honorably, and you did it well. I could have told you to get flat. You should be grateful. Get flat. I got flat so much today.
Starting point is 00:47:08 All right. That was really good. I am now realizing I may have set up. the points up in a way that rewarded the wrong person. Wade, in no particular order, you earned points for being a sore old man, needing clothes, education, you got Spider-Web, you got Rocket, you gave Mark a very dramatic shut off, you got Captain, and you got loiterer. Mark, you got points for finally going on your honeymoon, or have, have,
Starting point is 00:47:43 Had Ben had gone in the, whatever. Points for, what's the lagoon? Points for keeping your honeymoon a mystery to keep it spicy. You got points for getting sheep, blind, and de balloon. And you got points for, get flat. Flatter, stay flat. Leaving the final score, eight for Wade, seven for Mark. I really thought Mark would be ahead at this point.
Starting point is 00:48:09 I honestly think there were definitely a couple moments where I really laughed at something that Wade did, didn't give him a point for it or anything, and then we just continued. I'm not cognitively at my peak. I can't lie, boys. I'm a little tired. All day in the sun will do that, do you?
Starting point is 00:48:24 You know? Yeah, it sounds like it's a really rough day, hanging out at the pool. Too much pool and sunshine for me. That's terrible. I'm so sorry, man. Anyway, how many wheel spins we're going to get? Clearly an odd number.
Starting point is 00:48:36 Oh, okay. Interesting. One wheel spin. Who's in the lead right now? I don't remember, is it me? Wade is up by one. Okay, good, I don't want Goph. I was like, I want to see those Gough Rules.
Starting point is 00:48:48 I think I don't want coffer rules. All right, I am going to add, can I add things that are abstract? I want to add, got the flattest, but I don't think that makes any fucking sense. I don't care. It's your turn. It'll never come up. The, yeah, if there's one thing we've learned, it's that these will never, never come back to bite us, and we'll always remember what we meant.
Starting point is 00:49:08 It'll be just like the Scottish accent. If it comes up, whichever one of us gets the, flatest first to get the point. You know what I mean. Just men, mean, men? Mm-hmm. Men? You know what I mean, men. You know what I mean? Anyway, one spin. I'm sure nothing bad will happen.
Starting point is 00:49:25 So hypothetically, if like, you know, my car gets smashed by a semi again and gets really flat, but then that comes up and Mark gets really flat on camera first, who wins. Oh. Oh. Wow. Man, no question about it. Well, I guess it doesn't fucking matter what I do. then does it? You are the king of getting this. The wheel has declared it is sudden death and thusly
Starting point is 00:49:48 a tie and thusly. It's a fresh wheel though. It is a fresh wheel. That's not what that's supposed to look like. Give me a second. Hang on. Wait, is that how small that was when Mark hit it? It was very, yeah, it was very. It was a very, a relatively small amount. So what do we have? It's six percent to starts at six. Yes. It starts at six. So it's 360 degrees. times 0.06 it's 21.6 because this thing uses degrees for some fucking reason.
Starting point is 00:50:19 So I'm going to set it at 21. Boom. That looks better. That's tiny. There's no way. There's no way. It could not happen. No way. I dare God.
Starting point is 00:50:33 No, don't. You're going to hire by parachuting clowns, man. You're going to talk to God like that you're going to need. Oh. Okay, okay. It never slows down. It just stops until it wants to. Sometimes it's very dramatic.
Starting point is 00:50:48 Yeah, it totally did that to Mark where it was all... Ooh-to-do-do-do-do-do. One-man show. What it wants to be. Mark wins. Yay! I feel like I deserved it, for sure. I feel like I deserved it too,
Starting point is 00:51:02 but you had all the honeymoon points and stuff, so you can... I won't even use the coin. I'll just let you have it. So do we add... We had 2% now, Is that what we've decided to do in previous times? Yes, I believe so.
Starting point is 00:51:13 2%. Mark wins. Congratulations, Mark. Thank you. A hard-fought victory, indeed. Would you like to give your winner speech? Yes, I would. I was down.
Starting point is 00:51:25 By all accounts, I should have lost. But fate, fate is the only thing that matters. And it smiled upon me today, just like it will smile upon yee, if yee decide to follow this podcast. That's the only way to tempt fate. I click follow and unfollow again and again and again and again and again and again until the entire algorithm doesn't know what to do with us. Therefore, I win and you can too. It's like a video game with a broken mechanic.
Starting point is 00:51:53 If you just follow and unfollow distractible infinitely, you will eventually achieve infinite luck and be an unkillable god or win an episode of distractible. Either one. Wait, loser speech. Listen, I started a little slow, Spiderweb and alive. but as we went along, the parabolic curve was really moving in my favor. One more round that I would have been an undisputed champion that even sudden death on the wheel couldn't have stopped because I have this bad boy and I would have used it to the fullest.
Starting point is 00:52:25 The new word I made, you're allowed to do that when you're as cool as me. But alas, we didn't have that final round and the true champion was crowned, and I will live by that. You just started out there that you forgot you could have used your unfair challenge until it was too late, or did you... No, I chose not to do. Oh, okay, okay. Good fight, everyone, and good luck, Mark.
Starting point is 00:52:45 Great luck, even. Yeah, thanks for playing the game. That was really funny for me, so I assume the viewers and the listeners really enjoyed it. Probably the viewers, moving the listeners, maybe, but make sure you follow these guys. Mark Plyer, Lord Minion 777, or Minion 777, I am My Skirm. Make sure you follow the podcast, like Mark said.
Starting point is 00:53:02 Infinite Luck Glitch, to all it works. We have merch. distractible dot shop. Man, I used to make fun of Wade for not knowing it, and now I don't win enough, so I don't say it enough, I guess. And that is it. We'll be back next Monday with another episode
Starting point is 00:53:19 hosted by Mark, because he earned it with his face. I'll start winning again soon. You wish. That's it. See you on the next one, where I will definitely win, and then I'll host, and then Mark Walden and the Hill host, and then the conspiracy will continue.
Starting point is 00:53:33 Love you all. Podcast out.
