Panels Cage Man and the Dawn, from undead presenters to tireless self-tuition.

Yes, it's time for size matters. Now sit back and prepare to be distracted and enjoy the show. I get the last nut out of my mouth and I'll be good. That's what she said. Ah! God, I can't take the power of your true laugh. I need to step away from that. What the fuck?

Hello and welcome back to Distractable. The podcast that was your nephew's favorite once long ago, but now he's too old for that. This isn't as cool as it once was, and he's grown out of it. So we, as desperate, trying to still be relevant people, are clinging on doing the same thing over and over again in the hopes to someday the magic will relight again, but it never. will one of us is dead who is it that's up for the audience to decide which one of us by the end of the episode one of us is dead it's an exciting poll well this is uh the podcast that you were hopefully looking for um there's probably a podcast award show that you could nominate us for

something like that hey why don't you do that thing for us or don't i guess we need the publicity we fallen off. We've changed. We are actually not good at public. Did you guys know that we are actually extremely bad about publicizing ourselves? I would have heard that somewhere, but we didn't publicize it very well. It's actually, it's very true because most of most of the podcast out there,

you know, they have celebrities and tritial stuff. And I'm not saying that they're, you know, just pounded the pavement. They have teams for that. But we don't even have a team for that. Are we supposed to have a team? Actually, yeah. We are. Oh, God. We need to be on each of Shakira's hips. And as Shakira does a hip dance, it says distractible, distractible.

Maybe I just want that. Yeah, that sounds like a Wade thing. That sounds like a Wade thing. Hey, honesty, you know, that's a good, man. I don't have to be effective, but it would work on me. I'll tell you that. Well, you are our target audience. We don't have enough Wade listening to this podcast.

I can tell you that. How many middle-aged bald men are out there? Come on, tell me. I was chosen to be on this podcast because I was so relatable to the mid-age bald audience. Yep, it's true. Science. No one knows if I'm 25 or 55. He'll never tell.

Oh, are you a guru? Wait, that's my bed. Oh, give him the guru point. All right, he's a guru. All right, okay, wow, very much. All right, but you're not getting any small talk point, Wade. Wink, you might, you might, you might. You don't know that, Mr. Host.

I like that you preempted that. He doesn't deserve any, and he won't. You might not. It's true. Maybe. I deserve all of them. But just like most things in life, this is Schrodinger's podcast

and you don't know what the contents are going to be like until you look because we're both dead and alive Can we do a podcast episode where just in the middle we just leave it blank for like 30 minutes and it's like ah the box was empty I mean yeah man

do you want to do that regardless of whether people will enjoy it or not or are you thinking that would be I'm having I'm in that phase of life where I'm getting old enough where I'm like kind of don't care anymore because it's funny and I want what I want if we just label ourselves as avant-garde

we can get away with anything right? What does avant-garde stand for? Let's go guard. Avant! Avant! All right, I'll take it. My remarkable is out of commission. What's up with that remarkable company that made it? If that is your real name.

You probably owe them a penny that they're not going to forget about. You know, they haven't messaged me since. They have not messaged me since Apple. I'm talking about the Apple. I owe them a penny. I have not gotten any emails about that. Tim Apple was on his exercise bike having his morning smoothie

and almost spit strawberry banana kale out his nose when he heard Mark upset about the billing situation. There was a loophole. He was very upset and someone walked up to him. They were like, oh, Mr. Apple, what's wrong? Penny for your thoughts? And he's like, Penny, that's what Mark owed. I can say it was his penny.

It's paid off. Yes. Fuck? What the shit is? What situation did you? No, you know what, Wade, for once? I was with you. I totally understand what just happened.

It's, Mark, it makes sense. Just trust. All that you need to know is you're off the hook for now. Little did he know he owed more than a penny based on interest. It was 1.001 pennies and the interest will continue to accrue. You guys hearing a narrator in your head or is that just me? I always hear that. And it always sounds like Wade's narrator voice.

That's weird. Well, we're back at this. And I don't owe anybody any money that I'm going to publicly say out loud. Do you guys owe anyone any money? I have a mortgage. Banks, stuff, probably, yeah. I think they know. I don't think they're going to let that slide.

Well, then we've tapped the debt topic dry. Let's move on to small talk. I got nothing for you because I get no points for this anyway. I have a lot of small talk. Don't worry. I'll fill it all up. Self-fulfilling prophecy, Wade, that's what that is. Bob, go ahead.

Did you see that V-O-3, Google, AI video thing that people love when we talk about. It's a great topic. I don't know how widely discussed this has been and how serious it is, but I saw a bunch of AI nerds that I follow

online, chattering about how there's a new emergent capability coming out at V-O-3. Emergent, eh? Apparently, it can now, it was not like designed to do this, but it just started doing a thing where you can have it generate something and then take

like a frame. Oh, for fuck's sake. Listen to AI camera. Zoom out. Zoom out, you fuck. You could take a frame, which I'm going to indicate like this. You can take a frame of video

and like just write notes on the frame and be like, move this over here and make this cloud bigger or whatever. You can do something like that. Feed it back to the, 3 and be like make that same video but with these notes or changes and it will incorporate them that it has figured out how to take like visual annotations and just do generally what you want to do and that was not a thing that they put into it it just started doing that because it keeps

developing as it gets more use and they put more data into it or however it works is that like saying it can better manipulate because I saw that runway ML had a demo for theirs that was like, it'll replace the entire VFX pipeline. People should be like conserve for their jobs, number one. And I know people get on my case for like downplaying it sometimes. But I just want people to be also be aware of what its actual capabilities are so that they can react accordingly. And someone pointed out like the problem with that replacing VFX pipelines is the kind

of video that it outputs is very different. from what movie quality video is and the kind of bit depth and the resolutions and we don't know what you put into it and like it's if it's close enough isn't good enough for a lot of industries um and a lot of what a i does is close enough it gets very close sometimes but it's close enough doesn't cut it when you've got a someone point out in the vFX industry they call it pixel fucking right so it's when the director sends an entire shot back because they didn't like this one thing happening in the far right corner and then they keep doing that 30 times with various random bullshit that they don't like. And studios

do it all the time. That's why it costs millions of dollars sometimes. It's ridiculous. But you're unique in your knowledge of like movie making and your eye for it, I'm sure, compared to like the average, I mean, me or people average movie enjoyers. But I feel like a great example of what you're saying in terms of the quality is like if if any of you out there have seen the commercials that companies have done using AI you could tell and it's not just because like the images were totally rational right a lot of times you can tell something is AI generated because there's like 19 fingers or like it's the will smith eating spaghetti meme you look at it and it's like ah but the there was like uh i think it was a coca cola commercial or some some companies were doing

something where it was like AI generated visuals in a commercial and everything was totally normal whatever it was a but you you could look at it you could just tell like why does this look fuzzy a low it's because it's lower resolution or the bit depth or whatever like for the technical reasons it's because it's not as good and commercials are not as high of a standard a movie standard is like gonna be on the fucking biggest screen you can imagine it needs to be extremely like beautiful and perfect and you can't have commercials is like that shit's compressed. I was watching the commercial on YouTube TV. It's not like I'm high, but even there, you look in the, the AI generated commercial comes on and your eye is like, oh, something about that is

like bad looking, right? And there are technical reasons for that, but I feel like even normal people can still tell it's not even close in terms of quality that you get out of AI generated stuff versus made by professionals to that standard. We're not downplaying it. We're not I'm playing it, but I am curious. Also, we're not even using it. Just to be clear. I don't want to pay $250 bucks to make

Sasquatch vlogging videos. Even for a bit, I'm not going to pay $250 a month. It's probably more now. I bet they've got to raise the price of that shit. What's Bigfoot even going to do with all this money? He prefers Sasquatch.

Allegedly. All right, but good small talk. Well, I have James, Small Talk. Do you guys want to hear about more joys of having a child? Always. Fascinating times in the world of James He's he really loves Mark I think in one of the previous episodes

You talked about the movie K-pop Demon Hunters In the weekend immediately following when we recorded that I Happened to watch it And I agree with your take It's pretty good movie It's just enjoyable

Because we watched the movie We were playing the music And we just like played it for James He fucking loves the music music from that movie. He really likes Golden and he really likes the soda pop. He's like dancing more than he's ever

danced before. Any time it comes on, he starts dancing. And there's like the drop in, I forget which one, but the one where it's like, we're going up, up, up. Golden, I think that's in golden. He like, when the drop is coming, he's stuff and he goes,

ready? Ready? We're going. It's really funny. and that's very cute and very fun and so to balance it out uh this is the other thing that he's doing a lot lately we were in the car and he was just screaming and not like angry or sad or anything he was happy and he was just going bah bah and like it was a lot and eventually I reached a point where I was like man how do I stop that from happening for a minute and I just sort of was like hey buddy what are you doing what hey Jay

And I get his attention and I finally got him his attention and he looked at me and I was like, yeah, okay, what are you doing and why? And he just goes, I'm buying because, bah, bah. And I was like, you know what? He fucking, he answered me directly. I cannot fault him. He knows exactly what he's doing. And he's really committed to it. And so I've had a headache for about a week and a half. But it's still pretty funny. But it's still pretty funny. But that one is way more unpleasant because he really does just scream a lot right now. It's fucking loud. But he's having a great time, so like it's hard to complain. All right. Well, you know, that's, that's great. Ba to Baugh, and that's all you need. He's buying, obviously.

All right, Wade, I've gotten a point opportunity for you. I'm listening. Name a K-pop Demon Hunter's song. Golden. Hey, he did it. He does listen. Name another. More golden.

Oh. Have you seen that movie? I have not seen it. Oh, impressive. I know Molly just went out with like the girls and watched it recently, but I have not seen it yet. But you guys keep talking about, she seemed to enjoy it. So it's like, okay, maybe I need to check it out.

I believe that the, it's still way up in the charts. That movie is nuts because it is just destroying every record that, well, not every record that Netflix has had. But it's definitely staying at number one for a very long time and the viewership is increasing because people do what I didn't. They're just like, hey, you should check it out because it's fun. And it is. And it made me realize also that I haven't watched anything on Netflix in a very long time.

I haven't had a reason to. So this is cool that there's like a reason to. So I think that's fun. I think that's nice. Yeah, if only they didn't make me re-log in and then warn me about logging in every time I went to watch them. Well, if you weren't a criminal, it wouldn't be a concern. It's like I'll be watching on the TV

I'm like I'm gonna watch them on my tablet and it's like This is not the same device Are you committing crimes What's your password? Proof you're not committed Okay, you have 14 days If we even suspect this isn't you You're done, you're done You're sleep with the fishes

All right Netflix Can I keep watching my show now? Yeah, all right I love that question You can be sleeping with the fishes It's so aggressive Every time I go to log in it's like Well, well well

Look who's logging in again. It's really you this time, bitch? I'm not saying it's not annoying because I do hate that. We don't even have Netflix right now, but it was doing that to us previously when we did have Netflix. But I have another app that I use where every time it does the same thing and aggressively logs me out. But every time I open it, it like doesn't realize it's logged me out. And so I open it and it'll be like, oh, I'm loading. Let me load your notes.

Hang on. Wait a minute. you're not logged in and so it takes like a minute and then eventually it's like put your password back in and I'm like why the fuck did you try and loan everything then like what you're

you forgot you logged me out and then what yeah I mean I I'm always like I find it annoying but then I remember I guess if people hacked my accounts and stuff I would be mad and that would take a lot more and worse

I just like to be mad about stuff I'm mad about everything I just don't like the you have 14 days and then we'll see if you get to keep watching this. Wait, to what? Would they say that? I thought you were just saying that. It's to like prove that you're not borrowing someone else's Netflix, right? You have to

like log in on your home network or some bullshit to prove that it's you and not someone that's not yet. How would that prove it? Can't you just be like, hey, it's me? If you're traveling, forget it. Like if you want to go on a trip, Netflix is like, you're dead to me. You need to be at home on your couch.

I can't even believe. What is this internet? This isn't our internet. Who you're sleeping with? Is it Max? Was it Max? It was HBO Max. Yeah, are they switching it back to HBO Max now? Yeah, I think they are. So when is it switching back to Twitter then?

Because I'm glad companies are starting to realize getting rid of the brand name they've had for decades was really stupid. That is its natural musk. Ha, ha, ha, ha. This episode is brought to you by Hulu. We've waited 15 long years. years, which is a very long time. I don't like saying that out loud.

For King of the Hill. I've waited 30. I've waited 35. Yeah, time didn't stop, though, because Hank's retired now. Look, despite 15 years passing, the alley guys are still right there. Alamo's on ice, beers in hand. It's the same hill. It's a new day.

They're back. An all-new season of King of the Hill is now streaming on Hulu on Disney Plus. Wade, you got the segue point. you want to know why I'm hilarious okay if I say no that's right it's a trap

that black balls all over that if I said no it's it would be true but I okay then say no it wasn't because you were hilarious but it's not because you're not hilarious it's because you said a quote and this whole episode is about quotes

oh no huh what's up I was gonna say I love quoting things I quote things all the time but I don't know anything about Wade said you're gonna be sleeping with to fishes. Mmm.

Well, you know, that's too many words. That's just too complicated. I mean, I get the message, you know? I get the message. But I'm like, is seven words as many as that needs? I think we're smarter than that. I think that we can optimize these quotes and go back and forth and shorten them and still keep the meaning.

Okay. Now, the rules are. as follows. And I'm going to use this as an example. I have more quotes than this. But if it was going to be, you're going to be sleeping with the fishes. You can tie in the literal meaning or the metaphor that it's going for. So you could either shorten it. It just has to mean the same thing that the words mean and us all agree that it means that. Or mostly me agree because I'm judging, but I'd rather you worry about shortening it than being perfectly accurate is all I'm saying but it has to it has to be close are we

going for one shot give me the shortest you've got or are we going back and forth on this here's the strategy I don't think if you can jump down to one word I'll try like maybe but I don't think that these can be not all these can be boiled down to that you want to not be the last one because whoever messes up ends the chain and we all agree so you can go short I don't think I think I should allow you to go to two or one. I'll keep count of the number of words in there, and I will say you have to at least, I'll just say at least one word shorter, but it has to go down. So I'll leave it to that, I'll leave it up to you, you strategize, however you want.

That's just the situation that we're in. All right, here we go. Heads is Wade this time, I'll say, and Tales is Bob. Bonk, Wade, man, you got that. Really good sound on that one. That was a good, fating. All right. So your quote, Wade, I'll give you a choice.

You can either have a movie quote or a historical real person quote. Oh, let's start with movie. That's the manic to what we were talking about. So I pulled these from the 100, the AFI, which is the American film industry or something like that. They're listening. AI? Oh, no, they're going to hate that, Mark. AI quotes.

No, no, no. It's the top one are quotes from a bunch of different movies. And so this is the number one quote on their list. Gone with the Wind, 1939. Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn. It's eight words. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Yeah, eight words.

Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn. Optimize. Look, lady, I don't care. That's good, look, lady. I don't care. Five words. That's a hell of an optimization. Can you optimize further?

Just for context, I believe my dear, the character's name in the movie is Vivian Lee. I just want to throw that out there. I think that's who this is. So, yeah, my version would be, uh, look, Vivian, I'm tired. That works. That's still the meaning. Wait. Babe, shut up.

Okay. So that was three. Okay. Do sounds count as words? Can I make a sound to begin with? I'll, I want to hear it, and we'll make a judgment afterwards. Who cares? I'll allow that. I will. It's losing a little bit. It's, it's, it's, it's, borderline, right? If it was directed at a person who just said something to me, and I was just like, who cares?

Like, it means it's close in the context, right? I think, the only thing that I think would be debatable, and Wade, you tell me if this is the word, a word we can't say, is it losing who you're speaking to? Because

that is part of the quote. This is up to you. I don't know that I care that it keeps that context or not, but if you wanted to keep that context. That's your decision. I liked it. So I'm just going to go based on what I liked. I think it worked. But, you know, can you go shorter? Shh. That was, that was babe's lips. I, and I would agree. You can, you really can only do this to someone you know. It won't go well. I got to give it to you. Bob, can you go shorter than one word?

No, no words. No, no sound. Listeners, I'm looking disapprovingly. Yeah, I'm gonna, feel free to bend the rules as we go on, but I'll give that one to weigh. That was a good fight. All right. Okay, Bob, movie quote or real life quote? Oh, historical figure quote, please. I'm not guaranteeing that you'll know these, but I'm assuming that you'll understand the context.

Ernest Hemingway, but man is not made for defeat. A man can be destroyed, but not defeated. So that's, but man is not made for defeat. A man can be destroyed, but not defeated. It's 15 words. It's so wordy. Gugh, uh, am I right? Let's shorten that down.

But man is not made for defeat. A man can be destroyed, but not defeated. Uh, yeah. Well, this feels too short, but can I just fully replace it whole cloth with another quote? Go for it. Never give up, never surrender. That's it. All right, let's see, never give up.

I'm made for defeat. Can be destroyed, but not defeated. You know, I think it does because the whole meaning of this is to inspire, right? I think that works. It's a two-parter. Yeah, it's implied that you're not giving up despite your setbacks or losses, but you're not ever surrendering because you cannot be. defeated. I like it. Wade. Okay, no prayer. You cannot win!

Now, who are you talking to? Because if you're talking to the people you're trying to inspire, I'm pretty sure that's not working. Shit, the bad guy, that guy, you could have said, we cannot lose. No, no, no, I want to make sure they know. Your general gets up on the podium. We cannot win. Give up! Surrender! All right, I gotta give that to Bob. He spoke to the, speaking to the wrong people. Sorry, that one got really short, really fast.

I just was having it. That's a long one. I thought long would be easier and long was way harder. That's what I tell every girl I dated. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. All right, Wade, back to you. Movie or, uh, movie or historical. Oh, let's do his story.

historical. Gandhi once said, you cannot shake hands with a clenched fist. You cannot shake hands with a clenched fist. Eight words. I counted ten. Hold on. We got to redo that. You cannot is one word. Oh, you cannot. You cannot shake hands with a clenched fist. Eight words. Open your palm to shake, idiot. Ooh, seven. Not right. Okay. All right, okay. Yeah, that's great. All right, seven. He's making it easy for you, Bob. He's making it easy. I want to go on a limb. This requires, this is imagining it's said in context that someone is attempting to shake my hand with a close fist. What do I do with that?

What do I do with that? Six. You guys are skating by. I think if, now, wait, you don't have to build off of that one. You build off of the original. But I think I can accept it because you're talking to the right people and we just disqualified one. we're talking to the wrong people. What am I going to do with that? Six. Open hand, grab mine, shake. I think of you're teaching a caveman.

I'll accept it. It works if this is a, the literal is kind of teaching out a handshake. Gandhi, best handshakes. We all know this. Okay, five words. So I have to do four. That's the rules we're establishing here. Got it.

Shake hands, not punch. That works. That works. We're down to four. Wait, can you do three? No, shake it. Honestly, that's the closest to the original quote we've had yet, because it's you cannot shake hands with a clenched fist.

I just, it's like the denial. It's the, oh, it's great. Three, Bob. Open. I think. I bet Gandhi said moron. I'm pretty sure he was insult. It's borderline because it could be confused for anything. But given that the quote is you cannot shake hands with a clenched fist, it starts closed and you say open, moron.

And I believe he thinks that violence is probably stupid. By the most technical and skating of margins, I'm going to give it to you. but just barely when it's like that that good i'm maybe if i do this equal of this i should be like way you could match that and you'll split a point or something like that or you match it to beat it and if it's a better two word then it would evaluate from there i know what gondy said in one word oh yeah oh shit oh fuck pissed out and out right now it was started bro I got to give it to you. No, wait, but I get a chance at zero words then.

I get a chance at zero words. I'm going to use Wade's same context. I'm going to use Wade's same context. All right. Yeah, hand out. Hand out to shake, fist out. Now, that's so close, but you are telling them to close their fist. By the only definition, that would work if it was too close as a fist.

For every listener, he just, it was two fifths bumps, and they went, they hit fist and they went, it's so close. I'm giving it to Wade. Yeah, woo, bro. Well fought round. God damn, I'm not going to get through my whole list. That's for sure. Oh, I need to drink it. Movie.

I'm not taking a sip of anything. Movie. Movie it is. Okay. From the Godfather. The second most memorable. quote in all of moviedom. I'm going to make him an offer

he can't refuse. I'm going to make him an offer he can't refuse. Nine. What's the most quotable? What's number one? We just said it before. Believe it or not, it's frankly, my dear, I don't give it them. That's rated. Oh, oh. I thought you meant that was the second most popular to quote from the godfather.

Oh, no. God. I was like, what's more popular than that from the god? Look how they massacred my boy. I'm going to make him an offer he can't refuse. I got it. There is no way he can say no. That works. There is no way.

Wait. There is no way he can say no. Wait. We will make this deal now. I don't feel threatened. Yeah, but imagine me more Italian. Say it more Italian. Let's feel it.

Hey, we will make this deal now. Sorry, I didn't know you were fluent in Italian. It's one of those things I don't like to bust out unless I have to. Was there a hay? Hey, we'll make... You wasted one on hay. I mean, that still works. That's still seven, right?

It makes it as I. Hey, we'll make this deal now. It's six, actually. So, if you're using wheel as a contraction rather than we will, yeah. Contractions, yeah. Contractions are valid, I think. All right. Bob, he's definitely going to do this.

He's definitely going to do this. Five. That does qualify. Oh, it's a deal. That works? Oh, it's a deal. You say yes. I think talking directly to him is outside of the context, but I like it.

It's, you know, it's cutting out the middleman. It's shortening in the movie, actually. It just goes right to him. Say yes. Boy, dad. Oh, I thought that was your attempt. No, stop for this. We're short in the movie

It's down to less than three words Wade Deal done Yeah actually wait Now that I think about that that's relating That's right you're even talking to the right person You're talking to the original person Hey you're back on Sigliari

All right Bob It's in your quote All right I don't remember the exact setup from the movie But I'm assuming this quote Is following someone Addressing the character and be like Whoa how are we gonna get him to do that And I look him right in the eyes

And I go Moida All right, that's six letters, two syllables. Yep, more than, I appreciate the accent, because otherwise I would have said a part of life. But yeah, that's as Italian as it comes. Very threatening in Italian. Wade, can you beat that?

If I steal it a little bit, that would be the same idea, I guess. But, uh, um, threat. You too, we didn't have to say anything. I forgot I went to say deal It was bad to say Deal It's your instinct to keep the listeners

involved That's really good Yeah listeners I made a throat cutting motion As I said threat instead of deal I don't know that I get to keep that one I can see Yeah

If you'd have said nothing I would have given it to you Because threat shorter than murder no it's not all right whose turn was it I've forgotten I think I went first on that

yes Wade's turn so Wade you can get a movie or a real life quote let's do another movie on the waterfront you don't understand I could have had class I could have been a contender

I could have been somebody instead of a bum which is what I am you don't understand I could have had class I could have been could have been a contender. I could have

been somebody instead of a bum, which is what I am. 21 words. Jeez. All right. You don't get it. I could have been higher class. A winner. Instead, I'm a bum. That's good. I lost

counts. Was it like 13? 13? I don't fucking know. You really want to count. I just said words. I don't remember what you said. I got 13. High class. Instead, I'm a bum. Yeah, 12 or 13, 13, 13's fine.

I'm a bum. It might be 18, actually. Wait, whatever. Let's say 15. Fair. Fair. It'll be 18 or 13, so let's say 15. You idiot.

I could have climbed. Could have won. But now, I'm a bum. What's 14? That was 12. Cuda is one word. Coulda's one. Coulda was one in the original.

it would be way longer. Coulda is one. 12. Dummy. I could have been somebody. But I'm a bum. Okay. No.

Because dummy, I could have been somebody. But I'm a bomb. Nine. Great. Love the emotion, by the way. The acting in this.

Thank you. Stellar. But I'm a bomb. All right. Uh, you. I could have been. The title.

Ugh, a bum! The sounds were supposed to be the emotions coming through, right? Yeah, yeah. He's struggling to speak, so there were less words. It's so emotional, right? All right, eight, eight, but you're on thin ice, mister. All right, wait. Fool?

I was smart. Now I'm dumb. Fool? I was smart. Now I'm dumb. Mr. T? Yeah, you know what? I think that's, that definitely works.

I like it. I'll take it. How many was that? Seven? Oh, boy. Hey, I failed. I'm a loser. That's great.

Six. I felt the emotions there. Man. Truth hurts. Could have been somebody. But nope. Oh, no. I feel it, I feel it, man.

Wait, oh, that was beautiful. How many was that then? Five. Five. This coulda. Had it all. No. No.

That's great. Yeah. Yeah. That was perfect. Four. God damn. Wait. Can you in three?

Perfect life. No. The only, it works. It is a direct copy. of yours, because you ended it with no, but perfect life, no. I was just going to straight give that to him. I thought that was pretty good. All right, okay.

All right, it's fair. All right. I was going to air on the side of him copy, but I think, because there's so few words left, it's got to be something. So, Bob, do you have two? Fuck me. Yeah, yeah, you know, I think that gets the message that the quote is trying to get at. You don't understand, I could have had class, could have been a contendro, could have had somebody instead of a bomb, which is what I am.

Oh, fuck me. That was even three. You didn't, too. God. Oh, so good. Anyway, Wade. Why? For the listeners, there were some gestures involved in setting that up.

Yeah, I was gesturing at them than me, them than me. Bob, less than three letters That was a thumbs down I was reaching I was grasping at the life And then Man, I would love to give that to you I just don't think it captures all of it

I don't think this one can be distilled into zero words because the quote is so long. Get to Toronto's main venues like Budweiser Stage and the new Roger Stadium with Go Transit.

Movie. All right. This one is from Sunset Boulevard 1950. All right, Mr. DeMille, DeMille, I'm ready for my close-up. All right, Mr. DeMille. The Mr. DeMill has given you some extra words to work with.

I'm ready for my close-up. Ten words. All right, Mr. DeMille. I'm ready for my close-up. Uh, yeah. Hey, director, zoom it in on this. On this, seven, you're really understanding the heart of filmmaking. I love it.

All right, wait seven. DeMille, zoom it on my face. Six, that works? That's perfect. Hey, my makeup is done. Now, that all qualifies. if makeup's one word, right? God, I hope so.

That's what I was thinking. All right, I'll count it five. That is really, man, have you made movies before? This is crazy. All right, Wade, five. The Mill, focus on this. Yep, four. DeMille, right here.

Three. Film me! I couldn't see Wade's pushed his face all the way in the camera. because he doesn't know how to zoom it. Yeah, wait, I got something for this. Wait, this is going to actually work for me one time. So I got one word? Yeah, he did two, so you got one.

Zoom! Wait, do you have nothing? Did you do like a whole stage play? What is this? He's gesturing towards his face. Snapping to get their attention. mention you, me. As much as a...

You've been given a lot of the no words, ones, the person who did one. I can concede to Bob here. The only thing in my head is that could be misconstrued is come over here. That's true. It's like, there's other meanings to that. Maybe if it had been like...

Like, maybe, maybe. But I think... I was thinking like a camera snatch, but Wade's set up doesn't work for that. All right, Bob, congratulations. I don't know if you could film those in the 50s. All right, Wade, I think you're up. Wait, are you up? Yeah, you're up. Historical. Okay, I'll give you

even more choices. I've got a quote from Leonardo da Vinci. I've got a quote from Sun Zoo. I've got a quote from J.R.R. Tolkien. Let's give it those three. Give me a Da Vinci-Penchy. Learning never exhausts the mind. Learning never exhausts the mind. It's already short. And he was Italian, so if that helps. Learning doesn't affect energy. Yep. Four. It's so easy.

What's so easy? You know, what we're talking about? Learning. What's the original quote one more time? The original? Learning never exhausts the mind. But Bob has an official warning. He's on thin ice.

Learning energizes. Okay Bob Think There he goes I didn't mean to fucking Zoom God damn it I think the Zoom worked

Let's see Think learning never exhausts the mind Wade what do you think I don't care man Give it to him All right you know what I want one more shot at a silent one All right, he's not going to fight it.

All right. And then, yeah. Yeah. Do you have silent? I got to say that, yeah. For the listeners, yeah. I can't believe how many words we need to describe what he's doing. That's a genius at work.

Wade had a little book and he was reading the book demonstratively. And then he had a big expression and turned to the camera and was all. ah, like he was figuring it out. Energized expression, one might say. It was exactly as it was. Wade, congratulations. That was... Negative one word.

Oh, I regret that. Oh, that felt really good. All right, and with that, we'll wrap it up here. Now, I gotta say, the score's not even. It's odd. Both of yours are. All right, Bob, you want to have any points together? Yes.

You got Let's Go Guard. I don't remember what that's for. On Guard. AI Nightmare Emergences. Uh, he baw. That's a James update. You got Never Give Up, Never Surrender. And then Zoom for close up, Mr. DeMille.

Uh, Wade, maybe I just want that. What did you want? All right. You were a guru. And I realize now I should have given Bob a point for this as well, because he mentioned K-pop demon hunters. But you have the K-pop. up demon hunter's point. I'm going to pen in a point for Bob for that because it is fair. And then you got the segue point, babe, shut up. Bro.

Gandhi. There was one quote where I forgot what you said, so I just wrote down point. You got, why? And then the Leonardo one, because you did that wordlessly. Maybe it was another one that you won wordlessly. So I couldn't remember what to say. So that gives Wade nine points to Bob's six. That's not great. Even if Bob got all three, it would still be a tie, which wouldn't be good for me, but it would be good for the audience.

We've had some wider point spreads lately. And no, Wade, you were doing great this one. Bob was making me laugh like crazy, but... Yeah, I think I had some funny ones, but Wade kept delivering right when he really needed it. Wade landed all of his best ones on the points. Yeah, I'd like to think he was strategizing and getting the word countdown,

so he would get where he wanted to be. There were a couple where the first thing I thought of was like a two or three word answer and I was like, I got to build up to that. Can't start there. All right. How many bonus points? You'd probably need three. Oh, that's not three.

That is a one. That's one. What do you add to the wheel? Okay. I got this. Okay. Uh-huh. If the coin has not been flipped,

you must flip it and apply it to the last. thing that was minorly contentious. Got it. Yeah, I've wanted something for a while that's like, if it hasn't been flipped, you must, and it must apply to the previous thing, like the previous tough decision. That's fair. All right, let's shuffle that bad boy up in there and spin this, mother. And it's a boy.

for viewers, congratulations, Wade! Woo! A hell of a win, very commanding performance, nine points to six points to one point for the viewers. Listeners, keep up. Wade, how do you feel about your victory? Tell me! I won that one.

I don't know, I felt pretty good. I thought it was really fun. I thought it was a fun game. I thought Bob and I both did pretty well, had our moments. I enjoyed that we kind of had the I don't know if it was an unspoken thing but we were both kind of like the let's work our way down on some of these

we don't have to go right to three or four words we can kind of that was fun it was fun having that unspoken like let's see how much we can whittle it away I had a lot of fun with that all right thank you very much all right Bob

how do you feel I mean you had some of the best jokes out there but man just it's about the points it's about the points you have to get at the right time And all I feel about this one is when this happens again, I will redeem myself because I hope we do this again. All right. Well, thank you. Hope everyone at home watched it and listened to it.
