This episode of Distractable is brought to you by Strada. Strada is a solution for your cloud storage woes. Companies like Dropbox, ICloud, Google Drive, and Frame I.O. Always run out of space. And over the years that you've had them, they never get cheaper, even though technology advances somehow a terabyte on these cloud storage servers still costs the same or bizarrely cost more. One of a second.

Sorry, I hate to interrupt, I bear it back. I've got to reset the editing. PC so Dana can keep editing. One moment. Uh, well, that's a bizarre. That's a bizarre workflow. It sounds like he's not using Strata. With Strata, you can use your local NAS as remote storage, but your editor can just stream the files that they need and access the files they need from your computer as if it's a hard drive.

Oh, we just have a PC set up here that I have to go manually interact with so that my editor who lives in Florida can remote desktop in to that access my external storage, which is connected to this computer. It's a it's a lot. It always works super smooth. No. Especially if we're not here and like the PC needs reset, she can't do anything. Okay. All right. So imagine your NAS existed as a folder, you know, on that computer. That folder from your NAS can be a folder on their desktop with Strata.

And then they can stream the files that they need to edit with on their own computer in their own editing software. And they're lightweight, easy to, easy to work with. And they can even render from those files because it'll stream the frames they need from the raw files as needed. So I would not need a second computer here for her. She could just use her computer. Wait, wait, though, I spotted, I spotted the catch. I spotted this is where they always get you. So when it runs out of storage space, how much do they charge you to expand that? They don't have cloud storage. It's not cloud storage. It's your storage. So when your storage runs out, add more storage. God, that would have for 10 years I needed this.

Wait, wait, no, okay. So this is one of those things where it only works on like Mac, right? It sounds great and it's this great salute, but then it's like, oh, but I'm a PC, so I can't. No, both. Yeah, it works on both. Yeah, it has automatic file like organizations for the different volume structure, and you can still access from a Mac straight to your desktop. You have to, you have to, in Da Vinci go like, you know, the exchange, the command lines for things.

But that's just for the editing software part. If in the strata software, you can interact seamlessly in between both. And it starts at just $8 a month per editor. How much are you playing for your cloud storage per editor? I wish it was anything like $8 a month. I can tell you that. A PC, the PC that sits here that does the editing alone, it would, decades, it would last for $8 a month.

Decades, it was cheaper than one computer after replace every few years. You can sign up today for free at strata doc tech with a, oh. You can sign up free at strata. And there's a seven-day free trial for testing. That's strata. Oh.

S-T-R-A-D-A-T-H-Strada-T-H-R-A-T-H-R-A-T-T-R-E-C-T-R-E-Srada. Oh, Strada. Good evening, gentle listeners, all watchers, and welcome to distractible. This episode, Mischievous Mark warns of Superstorms. It's surprised at things getting hard. The sets is so darless to sensory snoohing. Bridge-bashing Bob shows his shinies, gallivants like a gamgee, and guesses like a gangster.

Where the wary wade bunkers down, and utterly evades, continuous-path passenger conveyors. From sharing the podcast to Alpine eats. Ha ha ha ha ha's. It's time for... Smell my touch. Now sit back and prepare to be distracted. and enjoy the show.

Hello and welcome to Distractable. I know you stayed up all night for the release of this episode. I know that it's midnight and or some equivalent early hour you dedicated listener and or viewer you. You win the special prize of being the very first person

to ever listen to this episode. If you're listening to this two weeks late, our show has tanked, our audience has left us, we are destitute. You are the first person to show up within two weeks. Oh my God, help us.

Please. Share this podcast. We're dying. We're losing ranks. We're falling down, down, down the listing. Wade, you okay? Yeah, I was trying to imitate that football coach a couple of years ago who had the weird press conference where he was just like staring off at aliens the whole time.

What a niche reference. I'm going to give you a niche reference point for that. Thank you. Yeah, niche. Very, very niche. Neesh. Very nice. I am Markiplier.

The host of this episode. whereby I define I'm not interrupting you just go on you're right no no just my eyes went oh my Pokemon pack and I was like oh my god

man that's that's really something I define what today's episode is going to be about but these two lovely gentlemen here are the only contestants we will ever have on this podcast except when I'm not hosting and then I will be one of those contestants

he's really adding our retention this is climbing us the ranks yeah yeah you talk I'll do this oh my god what are you gonna get The kids love this. Oh, pseudo-wudo. Oh, my God. Is that good?

Is that a good one? Show me a full art. Show me a full-art. Show Popafah. Is that good? Oh. Is that not? I guess.

All right, I'm going to put my cards on the table. There's a bounty where you may rip a pack of any set of Pokemon cards. And if I got an EX or higher, I got points. I was really hoping that would have a banger in it. Well, damn. I don't know what that means. So I won't give you anything for that. That's not a bounty for you.

It's not for you. These two gentlemen here have been living life to the fullest, and I can't wait to hear exactly what they've done in their full, full life to entertain us all here. Who wants to go first? Wade does? Oh, yeah. Wade, what have you been up to? Oh, man.

So last week we recorded, we did the lovely Choose Your Own Adventure, and then Bob and I got to flee quickly because we realized, what's that noise? Oh, my technology must be acting up. Oh, no, it's tornado sirens for both of us. That's weird. Right. And then we found out we had a Dorachio, I think is how, is that how it's pronounced? A Doratio hit us, which is just like a long, continuous line of storm. Derrico, I think.

I don't know. I've heard it both ways. No, Derachio might actually be it. I think I said Derrico once and people were like, he thinks it's pronounced Derrico. It's like, yeah, I do think that. Is it not? Dear Itchio. Dear. It'sio.

Probably that. But yeah, one of those hit, and that was fun because it was just crazy wind. We had up some different, like, news things, including there's a YouTuber named like Ryan Hall, y'all who does like weather reports. We had these different things up trying to see what was going on. And they didn't have tornado watches anywhere. But there were like 11 tornado warnings. And each warning area was the size of like a county. Damn.

So they're just like, if you live in these areas, tornado warning. And it's just all of southern Ohio, south-southeastern Indiana, northern Kentucky. And it's like, that's all of us watching the news. That's all of us. We're all in that. Question. Were they the similar size of the county or were they just issuing warnings based on counties? No, you know how they draw boxes when there's, when there's tornadoes?

They'll be like, here's a line and a box and it's moving this way. And they like draw on the map. Yeah, yeah. They just had several boxes that were basically everywhere from northern greater Cincinnati area down into Kentucky past the airport, was just like, box, box? It looked like gerrymandering boxes because some of them weren't just like squares. Some of them were like trapezoids

and then it had like a tail go off and it's like, why does this one have a thing that goes off and curls up like bricks and mini figs mustache? Like what is going on with these boxes? This is weird. Got them. That's quite a reference. That's good. That's good.

But it was very bizarre because like I said, there was no watches. They were all straight to warnings because like I guess the way the Dorecha was moving in. The entire front of the storm had like spinning circulation. So everywhere was a potential for a tornado. I think only two ended up touching down as far as I know.

One in like south-eastern Ohio and one in like northern Kentucky somewhere. But like it was an intense 30 to 45 minutes of like tornado warning sirens for like five minutes and silence. Back on. Silence. Like it just kept going on and off for quite a while. And the wind and the rain were pretty intense, but ultimately it just ended up being a bad thunderstorm for us. But I had never seen where just everything was tornado warning because I think warning is the more severe one. So it's like, oh, that means it's like touchdown.

But apparently it's not what that meant that day. It just meant that everything was strongly indicative of swirling winds and potential tornado or something. I don't know. I didn't fully get it. I mean, all of this is due to the Super El Niño. That's brewing. The boy? Yes, Super the boy

Is it Niño like son? My son? This is basically, I Has been confirmed that this is going This year is going to be a rare Super El Nino It's already done It's over

You know, it's like in drive When cuts the guy's army He's just don't worry about it. It's over. It's all over. There's no pain There's going to be a lot of pain So Super El Nino is coming The Hawaii got hit by the first hurricane Like ever, a really rare hurricane or something

recently didn't it? Like that also never happens. Yep. Yeah. Many Pacific hurricanes are going to form out of this, which is not used to be a thing where it's like, oh man, that barely never happens. Now there's probably going to be several. Great. But yeah, that was my entire week. Was that 25

minutes of waiting for the thunderstorm to pass? Nothing else happened. Nope. Not a thing. Not a thing. Neat. All right. Bob, he's stolen the DeRachio story. So that didn't happen to you. I was sort of fit in and talk about that, but that's okay. That's okay. Do you want to know, you want to know what

happened to me that I don't think I've talked about yet? No. So I'm not going to tell you exactly where we live, but we live down a road where it's like, if you go out of our neighborhood, go from our house to the exit of the neighborhood that's traditionally, as there is, you can turn left or you could turn right. And if you turn left, you're like five minutes away from, there's a Kroger, there's shops and restaurants, there's civilization. If you turn right, you essentially drive out into the farmlands. Kroger's a grocery store for those that don't live

around here. Everyone knows Kroger's big time. Okay. Groger's literally Orrin's like every grocery store across the country. Anyway, sorry. They own like Ralphs and Harris Teeter. What about Guam? Kroger owned Guam.

I wouldn't be surprised if there was a Kroger in Guam, but I don't think they own the place. No, I don't think that's how that works. Ah, got you, Kroger. Found your weakness. please continue. If you drive out towards the farmlands, you also have to go underneath a really awkward bridge

where like there's two roads that cross under the bridge so there's like blind turns. Anyway, it sucks. It's super dangerous and there are stop signs, but people just blow through it at full speed because I don't give a shit because they're idiots. Anyway, so leaving our neighborhood, the left turn where you're really close

to all the cool stuff we wanted to live near when we pick this location to live. There's a bridge that was damaged and they closed that whole section of road for the last four months. So even though we live within like five minutes of a huge shopping center and all the, you know, whatever places we would want to go on a regular basis, we actually then lived four times as far away from them

because you had to go the wrong way out of the neighborhood and then loop way the hell around. And it was like it felt like we lived in a different place for the last four months. They finally finished it. And in those four months, they gave us a 15-foot-long bridge for a two-lane road. Ooh. It's one of those things where I knew what it was going to be because I knew what it was before it closed. But like, it finally opened and we were like, oh, my God, they took the detour signs down. Can we go the other way?

And the first time I drove across it, it was just like, I fucking, I had to drive off into the, God knows where for a quarter or a third of a year almost for fucking. for this? Just put some boards over it and let me go where I want. Like, it's nice that that's open. And now I have all the, you know how you develop like driving habits? Now I keep going the wrong way because I'm like, oh, got a loop around. Never mind. Never mind. Let me back in. God. It's so infuriated to just drive over because it's literally less than 15 feet of, it's like a bridge over a tiny little creek. But it was, they just, it's fine. And I'm glad that it's open because now I can do whatever I want, but it literally felt like we lived like half an hour out in the country. When we live in the suburbs, we don't live that far from anything. You just have to go the correct way to get

to it. I will say that other intersection you're talking about. That one is shady. That one does make me nervous every time I'm like, God, hope someone's not going 90 miles an hour on this road as I turn. And they do. It was a whole thing because at the beginning of the closure, I was like, oh, it's like an adventure. Oh, we'll just go. And it was that descent from like, oh it's okay it'll only be a few months oh it's okay I'm getting kind of tired of it the last like three weeks until it opened both mani and I were just like

I fucking ain't this stupid fucking bridge I'm gonna buy a helicopter and land on the roof of the house and use a ladder to climb to like it's fine it's open now it's fine you're like Samwise Gamgee and Lord of the Rings you're like this is it if I go this way to the store

be the furthest from home I've ever been and then like now you're like thousand yards Stair just fucking carrying Frodo's corpse as you're like I just want to go croaker I fuck more to earn this bullshit I must have watched a different Lord of the Rings I don't remember Samwise becoming jaded smoking it just ever Samwise the cigar and the army helmet I was like I'm talking about union rip about this one all my all right well that sounds uh problematic I'm very sorry about that

not anymore now it's great controversial? Will I get killed if I say that I think that road construction in Ohio and probably many other states is an absolute mob, scam? Like, when we were in college, two decades

ago, almost, there was construction on 75, you know, all around the Hopple Street and the Mitchell Avenue exits. It's the same. It's literally the same fucking cones. It was almost two four decades ago. And like they finished

parts of it, like the Hopple Street exit, got totally redone. It's crazy. It's all new. But all the other shit is there's still, it's down to two lanes on each side. There's cones. There's one highway, you know, when one side goes on to the other side because they're like scrunching in it. It's the fucking same.

It's literally a scam. It's some kind of crazy mob front or some shit because it doesn't make any sense. And there's that kind of shit everywhere in Cincinnati. There's a spot on 275 north where they finally added like a fourth. lane for traffic during a really busy section. It is always closed. Even in standstill, I have never seen it. Anyone allowed to use this mysterious lane that they built.

Wait, I know that part. I know that part. Yeah. It's never been accessible. It's always like, nope, not allowed to go in this lane. It's just, it's just a lane they built so that they could have a lane closed and meet their contract requirements without actually having to close one of the three lanes. They let people.

Nobody's allowed in it. No matter the circumstance. I don't get it. I was back in. home and also I was just like I was going to the airport my mom was driving and I was like on 75 and I was like it looks so familiar it's like I never left wow there's the same construction here in this stretch turn on the radio traffic backed up from Mitchell to Paddock on 75 and it is funny I've never seen anyone ever work on it I've seen trucks I've seen trucks I've seen the equipment there's a bunch

of shit parked everywhere parked everywhere never anyone work you walk up you walk up and it's actually same cars from 20 years ago. They just have been there. It is crazy. And I know we've all seen like videos of some bridge, like an overpass thing, collapsed somewhere. There was a problem with it in either America or some other country,

probably some other country. And they fix it overnight. One night. It's just like you see them close the one side of the highway. Then they build it all back up in the other side. And even I'm like, I didn't know concrete could harden that fast. I'm like,

that seems like pretty. quick. But even though they get it all, it's done, like totally new. What the fuck even happened? There was a fire under one of the big bridges that crosses the Ohio River a couple years ago. I think like a playground or something random burned. And it caused damage to the bridge. I feel like they fixed that bridge pretty damn quick considering like apparently the fire got hot enough to like melt something in the support. Like it was apparently pretty serious. But like, yeah, I feel like that was like a month or two. And they're like, yeah, that's fixed. And then other areas, like you're saying, like two decades of like,

hmm, this pothole might be bigger than the road itself, but we can't be bothered to take care of this right now. It's a conspiracy, man. Much like with the LAX people mover that they've been working on for fucking forever. And just absolutely has been, every year, it's like another. It was supposed to be July this year, moved it to December. And it's just like, it's 99% done. They've been saying it's 99% done for years.

and it's just not done. Anyway, all of the thing. I see it at the airport. I see it going like, wow, look at that. It looks so nice. So pretty. Oh, wow. It goes right up the top there.

I'm trying to figure out if this will be offensive or not, and if it's not, I'll change it. Just beep it. I want to call it. Oh, God, Sam. Please. Oh, Sam, edited in the blood. I can't ever hear him again. Sam blow up his head.

I want you guys to use the other senses besides sight to describe things to the other player who will be guessing what that is. Now we have touch, taste,

smell, and sound if we don't have sight. You could use no exception, I guess, if you really think that'll... I don't think it'll help you in your... I know about his arc. I don't know about deception. That's... Okay, that's funny. Now that's funny.

Thanks. He did the thing. Now that's funny. I don't know if that takes away I can't remember what that does No, if you laugh at what I say I think I should get a point, what the fuck? For those that don't know,

does any of you know what no exception is? Are you talking about pro preoception? Yeah, yeah, wait, sorry, pro preception. Yeah. Where you're like aware of the position of your body parts in space sort of thing? That's what it is, yeah. Yeah, proprious, not no exception.

What is no exception then? I don't know, is that a real thing? I hadn't heard it, but I was like, well, he said it so confidently. I assume it's a thing. I think it's a movie with Leonardo DiCaprio. Okay, no Cisception is the nervous system's physical process of detecting and encoding harmful or potentially damaging stimuli. So that's like the pain, sense of pain.

Is that another sense? Or is that part of the touch? I mean, that's sort of part of touch, I think. That's part of your like physical contact nervous system. I don't know. Yeah. But pro preception is typically regarded as the sixth sense of knowing where your limbs are in position around. you have a sense of where they where in spatial you can't do this without pro preception

not hitting my head not hit my head not hid my head not hitting my head i'm not touching me i'm not touching me i'm not touching me right right yeah i think so who's not hitting you who's not hitting you everyone i i we're we're generally saying we can't use that if you could if there's something in here where you could i'll i'll give you a bonus point for it but i'm pretty sure you can't we're going to take turns. Someone will go through and how it works is you have four senses to describe something with. I'm debating whether you can start, whether it's a standard order where it's like starts with touch, taste, smell, or sound. Or I could give it to you where you can choose which one you would describe it and maybe that's advantageous because the less senses you use, the more points you're going to get.

If you can only use one and they can guess it with that one, then you get four points, right? I like that. I like that it's our pick, but you lose points, the more you have to get, the more you have to resort to other senses. Or for each sense, you have to resort. I like that. I think that makes sense. If it wasn't so annoying, I'd be like, what if we use a wheel to determine the first sense we have to give? I had debated that as well.

I thought about random assignment. That's fun, but also that would suck. Sam, make a wheel. Make me a wheel. If you guys think it's better if it's random what you have to start with I will lean towards that I think it's funnier I don't know if it's better you could just find a picker like an online random picker thing and then just let Sam worry about the visuals don't lie all right sight site site site site site no site this is something I'm gonna be looking out for you cannot

make any description with sight so color what it looks like in any way shape before in any description that would you really feel like purple purple Bob. Yeah, it feels very blue. Yeah, yeah, I know, I get that, I get that. Yeah, all right. So you can't do that, but you can do touch, taste, smell, sound. And we're gonna try this with the wheel to see if this works out.

I think it could be fun. So I'm going to message you. Well, let's determine who's gonna go first. Heads, Bob, Tails, Wade. If we're gonna switch it up a little bit. Come on, Universe. I don't even know which one I want. That's heads for Bob.

I think, yeah. That's what she said. Bob, you're going to go first. I'm going to give you, and again, with most of these things back and forth, I'm trying to pair them up so that what I think is the predominant sense would help the most. I'll match them up. The randomness might make that not work so well. But when we do one and we'll stick to the one all the way through and then we go to the other person, the matchups are kind of similar-ish. Maybe.

We'll see. We'll see. This is your first thing you're trying to describe to weigh. and I'm spinning the wheel of what sense you have to use first. Is pro preception on the wheel, just to be clear? I'm not putting it on the wheel. I feel like, don't. Can we make that where it's like if you choose that and you do that first and you get it,

it's like a bonus? Yeah, you know what? If you can get it, so your first one is taste. You can always use proprioception if you want to use it. And you'll get a bonus point. So if he guesses this on that, on taste, you'll get up to four points because that was your first sense. Every sense you have to use after that is one less point. If he doesn't get it at all, you get no points.

If he guesses it to incentivize him guessing well, he gets a point. So when and if he gets it, he will get a point. I am going to, especially because I got taste, I am going to start with pro preoception. Great. Okay. Can I describe that we're starting from a certain position? Yeah, we're, we're, I'll, I'll allow it and I'll make rules to like against things if it's too much. You are standing.

You feel like your whole body is kind of going up and forward. And you feel like your arm, which is outstretched, is moving at a different speed than the rest of your body, but moving in the exact same direction up and forward. Okay. So you're standing and you feel like your body is moving all together up and forward in a consistent pace, but your arm, which is outstretched, feels like it's moving in the exact same direction, but probably at a slightly faster speed than the rest of your body. So it's kind of like being pulled from out to the side, to more like out in front and to the side

as you're experiencing the sensation. Do I know if we're describing nouns or actions or like how specific are the things I'm looking for? This is a thing. Standing. Body's moving forward. Both up and forward. Diagonally up. My arm moving diagonally up a little bit faster. After an amount of time. No more. No more. You gave your description.

You gave it. You gave it. Okay. So now I've got to make a guess. Yeah, yeah. You got a guess. What feels like that? Propriceptively. You didn't describe me going through any kind of like, I'm just going up and forward. So I'm just going to say lying.

That's not a thing. That's an action. You fail. with pro preception. Okay. Do I now have to use taste? I think that's how the rules go, right? I will say that that is such, that was more powerful than I thought it was.

I am adding pro preception to the wheel from now on because I feel like it should be. Well, this one, this thing in particular, like that was a really, that's such a specific to this thing experience. You'll get it. You'll get it once you know. You'll get it once you know. I'm going to feel really dumb when I don't. So now you, I also, yeah, because otherwise I'd have to make it risk reward and, but I, I appreciate the boldness of that one. We'll give that a freebie and I'll, we'll see how it goes here.

But now you have to describe it with taste. This is a thing, and we're assuming that you are tasting this thing. You taste one part of it, and it tastes kind of like rubbery in a filthy, unpleasant way. and if you taste sort of the other main part of it, there's another thing to taste. It tastes metallic, but like greasy, like oily, right? Roller coaster?

No, it is not a roller coaster. You have to also remember the other description I gave. I was put that in there. I was like, ah, up and forward. I don't know what your arms doing on roller coasters, but I have some questions. Well, people throw their arms up, so I was like, oh, maybe it's the sensation of, like, putting your arms up before you. That was good.

That was good. All right. Okay. That was a decent guess. That was a totally fine guess. I'm not mad about that. I'm going to spin the wheel for what your next sense is. Because as soon as you, I was like, what if the other part's metallic?

I'm going up like a roller coaster, then my arm goes up a little bit faster. It's like, I see the thought process. All right. Your next sense is touch. So, well, I'll describe the same two parts that you take. from the taste one. The part that tasted sort of rubbery, when you touch that, it definitely feels rubbery. And it feels kind of like grimy, but not in like a way where you're pulling bits off, but kind of just like when you take your hand off, you're like, uh, okay. And then if you

touch the other part that you tasted that tasted metallic and oily, you feel some very distinct grooves. It definitely feels like something hard. It could be metal. And you feel, feel almost an iconic pattern of grooves on this part of this thing. Unmistakable, pretty much for anything else in the world. You definitely know what this is because you feel this and you're like, oh, obviously. Oh, man. I feel like I've given pretty good things here. You have. I think you are. My brain is just not, you know how like whenever you fixate on something and you can't get your brain off of that thing? It's really hard to remove myself from like flight or a roller coaster so I'm trying to like remove myself from those ideas but like that's all I'm

picturing so I'm just trying to think okay different different design if I remove the image from my mind there's yeah no image well that's for him I think I can picture things right I just can't you can't describe what I see might help if you close your eyes maybe you'll start to see something when you combine all of these things you're thinking about maybe maybe you gave me whatever Popeye's description you gave me the I think he means proporeception That's the one. Even if you didn't intend this, I'm trying to focus on one part that's rubbery, not multiple parts that are rubbery.

So part that's rubbery, part that's metallic, distinct ridges. And those ridges leave me feeling grimy. Kind of grimy and oily. TikTok on the clock. Yeah, I know. Just combining all of this is more confusing than just focusing on one of them. I'm like, no, that doesn't work with the first part. I'm going to give you 15 seconds.

Oh, no, don't do that. No, now I'm panicking. No, hold on. Stop, I don't need... This guess of the goddamn. Unicycle! What the fuck? Oh.

He made me guess. To your credit, Bob. I think you really have given good suggestions. Can I get a different partner for this project? Nope. It just... Okay. He made me panic.

You made me panic. People are crashing so many cars right now because this, they know what it is already and they're waiting for you to get it. Well, I'm not good at this, so I'm done. Enjoyed my best. Well, you got two senses left and the next one is going to be smell and no, no reminding on any of the other ones. Okay. No reminding. No remindies. I'm going to describe the smell that you would smell when using this thing. You smell bourbon chicken. You smell soft pretzels. You smell candy. You smell. Uh, candy. You smell. the body odor of a person standing kind of close to you.

Do you smell maybe cleaning solution while you're using this thing? I'm so off base of where I'm at. Okay. Paint a picture in your mind of all these smells. Where do you smell those smells altogether? You can do it. I need to set, Tyros, because this is only the first one is for like 15 minutes. I got to, yeah.

Well, listen, this is hard. Okay, man. I'm gonna give you 30 seconds to think about that one. Okay, well, I'm picturing you're at like a theme park or a carnival. Bourbon chicken, though. Hey, where do you smell a bourbon chicken? That's an interesting one to focus on. I was thinking like the turkey legs, but like a bourbon chicken like this, I don't know.

A lot of cooking. A lot of cooking things involved in this. Ten seconds. Uh, they're not a grill, but... Five? No, stop. Hold on. Guess.

Fuck, grill. I don't know, man. I love those moving grills, you ride. I know it's not a grill, but it was only word I was working my way through. I'm not good at the timer. The timer fucks me up. Just don't think about the timer. Just let Mark think about the timer.

You're good. He said I had to guess. So I just threw out the word I was thinking about that moment. I'm working my way through. You do got to guess. I felt like 30 seconds was a pretty rich amount of time to guess. Well, for me, I need 20 minutes. What's the last sense?

Is it hearing? It's, yeah, it is sound. It is sound. This is your last chance to get a single point out of this. I'm sorry, Bob. I'm sorry. I'm the worst partner ever. When you ride this thing, you hear the laughter of children. You hear metallic clunking and clanking. It's kind of a slow pace. You hear music at a relatively low volume, just sort of in the background of this when you're on this thing. you hear the sound of bourbon chicken cooking

you know you love that sound you know that sound you may also hear the ding of an elevator door opening I know you can do it I believe in you that was a warning Bob that was a warning

I know I was pushing it but come on come on come on oh no come on you got this piece it together Make your last cogent guess. I believe in you.

Okay, I'm going to talk through. I'm allowed to talk through the things. He's not allowed to tell me again, but I'm allowed to talk through him, right? Yeah, well, you got, you got, your time already started, by the way. I just hope you know. Arm, grooves, familiar grooves, smell of bourbon chicken. I'm so sorry. You have to guess now.

I set that timer when he was done describing. I don't want a carousel. Oh, my God. I'm so sorry, Bob. Oh, God. Whoa, do you want to reveal it or do you want I? The elevator, I was trying to thrust in the elevator, man. I was trying, but I didn't get there.

It's the other kind of elevator also called an escalator in a mall where you might smell bourbon chicken. Literally the only place on earth I've ever seen such a dish exist. I was lost at the theme part. Oh, the proprioception one. You know that feeling when you get on the escalator and you're like, oh, the hand thing so much faster than the and you gotta keep move. Okay, I don't know that one as well

because I don't ever touch those because I thought it grossed me out so I never touch the handrails. That is incredible. I'm sorry, Bob. You did a really good job in hindsight. I just wasn't there. I couldn't bring myself there.

Yeah, I thought the proprioception was going to get it right away. It was almost like, oh my God, I can't let them do proprioception because that's going to get it immediately because it's so, oh. Hi, I'm one of your contestants. Yeah.

So that is zero. points for both of you, but it was very entertaining. It was incredibly entertaining. Let's hope I'm better at describing than guessing. Yeah, my only comfort is that I'm maybe a qualified guesser, but I have to use whatever you tell

me to make my guesses. So we'll see how this end goes. This might be the first zero to zero episode in history. All right. So this was educational for me as well. I'm actually going to take Properception off the menu. just because I feel like, you know, it throws things off.

It's such a nice granularity with the four senses, you know, that it is. It could be powerful, could not be powerful. And I don't even know if the feeling of going up is part of it, but I feel like it could be. Who knows? We're just going to keep it to the four senses besides sight. All right, what's mine? Or wait, don't say it out loud. I wasn't going to.

I'll cover my ears. Should I just go home for this? I am home. Should I just go away for this episode? So we keep it to the exact sense only. that you're describing, you can't go back and remind things, and definitely don't base things off of previous, you know, senses. It's keep it to that sense and that sense only. Don't mention associated other things. You have to keep your description to the thing that is being described,

like the elevator. That was the example. Like the ding of an elevator, I'd be like, that's a sound not pertaining to the thing. So the sense that you're currently doing has to be to the thing. Would you say the smells that I did were okay? Because that's not how the escalator smells, but like that's absolutely what you would smell on a lot of escalators. And it's a, I would say, oh, I guess actually you're right if that is, because I was describing stuff that was not the escalator, but you don't really smell an escalator, so I wasn't sure how to approach that.

I think if I have to be adherence to the rules, it has to be smells that are only to the device. Because now I think, yeah, the chicken, okay, that probably would be outside. So it has to be... That's why I went to like grill and stuff because I was also like, oh, okay, I'm smelling the things that are cooked on it. It's going to be difficult using the senses,

but that's part of the point. So... Okay, so the answer to my question then is no. I sent you a question. I'm assuming the answer to that's just no. Yeah, that's tough question, right? But like, I think based on your answer, it's no. Because of Bob had this chance in his round to do it,

I will only apply the rule of that for this particular thing. you ask me to the next one. We'll, because we'll keep it so that the kind of exploratory advantages that Bob had in this one, I'll give you this, but only this one that you asked. All right, I'm spinning the wheel of senses, and your first sense is smell. All right, so sometimes there's the light smell of gasoline, but more often than not, various colognes,

perfumes, deodorants, body odors kind of permeate, and maybe the smell of maybe leather. You can get leathery smell from it, probably. I'm trying to think of the word for a smell like, musty's the wrong word, but tangential to musty. Okay, and 30 seconds to guess and go. I feel like a lot of these wore down a certain pathway. Musty or whatever that's related to throws me off a little bit, but I still... Yeah, that's fair.

Is this, I can't ask questions. We're still doing things, right? This is a thing. It's still a thing, it's still thing. All these are things. Is it, I don't know if this is specific enough. Is it cologne? No, colognes and perfumes were one of the descriptors I used.

Not cologne. All right, that's smell is down. Next, sound. There's a sound of air flowing. People chatting, murmuring, a very loud humming noise. That's pretty constant. I guess the occasional sound of footsteps. The main sound, the constant is the loud humming.

Okay. And guessing now. This is just not a thing, I feel like. It's what I'm stuck on in terms of a guess. Uh, wait, constant humming. Ten seconds. Is this a train? No, it is not a train.

I don't think I can make commentary on your guess. Nope. All right, Negg, you're down to two senses. The next one is going to be taste. Oh, man, based on the question I asked you, I'm almost afraid to give that, but if you taste the outside of this thing, oh man, how do I describe this without giving too much?

I don't know if it's metallic. Probably taste metallic and like a bunch of bugs. If you taste around the inside of this thing, again, a lot of taste of leather. some glass and I don't know what the taste of glass is but like the something it's a thing I don't know why you would ever have this and do this with but if you have like an old toy and you lick an old plastic toy there's like that sensation of that taste hitting your tongue there can be good tastes like cookies

I feel like I know what it is but I feel like it's gonna be wrong if you think I feel like that was a lot I want to give more but I feel like that was already a lot so I'll stop there all right okay all right and guess the one thing that's started me off from this guess is that it occasionally smells like gasoline because the thing that I want to guess sort of definitely doesn't do that and there's another thing that does do that but then the leather taste doesn't make any sense

you might have a different experience that I mean if you feel like you know I've... It's I want to say airplane. Ding ding ding ding ding that is it! Congratulations! Oh God! So I'm trying to think like not just on... What airplane have you been on that smells like gas?

Not when you're on, but I was trying to think like, okay, when you're outside, they're filling it with gas and there is that smell. Like, have you ever boarded or deep plane like from outside? Sometimes you'll smell them fueling it. I've never like noticed that. Maybe I'm just not sensitive to it, but. I like the smell of gas. So I remember smelling it when they did that. Because I was thinking the smell of gas made me think bus. I figured if I got you, once I got you to train, I was like, okay, planes, trains, we're on the right course. I was going to be so specific. I was like, oh, like, Biscoth cookies is what you taste. I was like, that's too much.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, no, that was really good, guys. That was the easy one. Oh, good. I thought that was going to be easy. So, I do think planes easier than escalator to guess. Possibly. I don't know.

I'm glad I got to describe that. That's why I took proprioception because, like, you're going up and back. You feel yourself of like, ah, you know, maybe. Proprioception for the, you feel like your body leans back as if under high acceleration as it goes up. I would apply that to touch.

So there's certain things per perception that I'm like, okay, touch might apply to this. However, I'm going to be more strict about taste of glass. I'm like, that's a little, you know, Metallic has a specific taste. I can get behind that, but then taste of glass.

I don't think glass is much taste. You taste the things on the glass. And then cookies, it's not part of the plane. So from here on out. Yeah. That's why I message. you about that one specifically. Yeah, yeah, exactly. So from here on out, it has to be specific to the item in question. Oh, I'm sorry in advance, Bob. I'm going to do my best. This is going to be

fine. I just have to guess the taste of a Y chromosome. That's it. Why chromosome? All right, I can't do that one. There's no fucking way you'd ever get that. It tastes like college. It tastes like a college experiment. One that would make the old kings very happy because it's a boy. Bob, I'm giving you yours. And also, I'm going to keep the decision. description to a minute. So the description has to be in a minute and then guessing has to be in 30 seconds. We're in trouble, Bob. Bob, you have yours.

I'm spinning the wheel for the first sense. Oh, right. Okay. And the first sense is going to be taste. Oh. Three, two, one, go. It has a very faint taste. It tastes vaguely of petroleum.

chemicals and that's about it. You, you do, you do taste this thing on occasion because of the way that it is used is a thing, but almost never will you taste the taste because it has such a subtle taste flavor. All right, we'll get called it. All right, and gas three, two, one, go. Plastic spork. I'm not saying anything about that answer. Where you watch yourself.

Sorry. That's wrong. That's wrong. No, Colin. I'll start deducting parts. Okay, okay, okay. I don't have any, so you can't take any. Well, I got one, I guess.

Yeah. All right. And next up is touch. And go. Bad touch. Feels. Feels. Honestly, it feels smooth.

when you touch it, but in a way that's just, it's bad, it's a bad smooth. It's terrible. Possibly the worst kind of smooth that could be just, ugh, you don't? I would never. God, the only thing I feel that way about styrofoam. Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding.

Yes, that's it with three points. Bob, what a good description. Bad touch. I was like, ugh. Plastic, e, petroleum, me smooth, styrofoam. It is good.

I think, yeah, I could, I don't know if I'd call it Petroleum product taste, but hey, you know, I think it's got a little bit of that, you know. It's got that, you know. I guess I don't actually know that. I just assumed it was. Oh, because you do put, like, styrofoam cups to your mouth. I was like, when do you put styrofoam in your mouth? Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah. If you don't mind styrofoam, you use styrofoam a lot for eating and drinking. So you do have it in your mouth quite a bit. It's true, yeah. A lot of takeout containers are styrofoam, so I get that. And yeah, Now, the, the, the clue giver cannot react to the guessers. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I see, I know what I did there. This says, yes, styrofoam is made from petroleum. It's a synthetic plastic created from liquid hydrocarbon called styrene, which is a byproduct of crude oil and natural gas refining. It definitely is, yes. But whether or not you can taste that, yeah, I'll allow it, I'll allow it. Oh, you definitely taste it. You definitely taste it.

Okay. Wade, I'm sending you yours. Wait, hold on. Hold on, I got a question for you. Okay, yeah, yeah, what's that? Yeah, what's up? Yeah, I know. Yeah, you cannot.

Okay, great! Just wanna make sure. Yeah, uh-huh. So, it's your first sense. Your first sense is taste. And go. Oh, man, it tastes pleasant. Um, oh, God.

It's... Oh, the... Fuck you, Mark. It's, um... Mild. It tastes... like you want something else to go with it. Like it's like it's insufficient on its own.

Tastes good. It's good. God, that's so, I die! You know, Bob, you know what I mean? All right, well, I guess that's good there, Bob. Start guessing. It tastes pleasant, tastes mild, tastes like you want other flavors to go with it, but it tastes good. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. Uh-huh.

I know what this is. Yeah, I can taste it. Barely. I think this is whipped cream. Ah, damn. Nope. Sorry, that is not it. All right. Okay. Next sense.

Oh, please give me the sense I want. No, no, I don't know. It's up to the wheel. It's up to the wheel. Smell. And go. Ah. Man, what a scent to describe.

without using describer words. It smells like such a good mold. Such a good mold? I think. It smells. Oh, God. I think it has a strong scent. I have a really terrible sense of smell.

So this is kind of a harder one for me to do. A lot of the smells overlap with the taste. But I think the smell. 15 seconds. I think it was a strong smell. All right. There's specific reasons why I can't give you a lot, Bob. I wish I could.

All right, and guessing. Okay. This thing has a very pleasant but mild taste that you want to put other stuff with it. And while it tastes mild, it has a strong smell. Yeah. Ten seconds. Is it some kind of cheese? What kind?

Well, if it has a strong smell, it must be blue cheese. Nope. Not that. Unfortunately. So you got touch and sound left. I hope you get sound. God damn it. Yeah, you got sound.

All right. All right. What does this cheese sound like, Wade? I think he got a chance. I think you got a chance. Okay. If you flick it, the sound would not fully resonate.

It would dissipate. quicker. I know what it is. Please God, help me. Do you have more descriptors or shall I guess? Oh, if you throw it and it hits the ground, it sounds like cheese. All right, yes, I know what this is. I know what this is.

Sure, sure, sure. If you bite into it, it makes the sound of biting into cheese. Oh, sure, sure. Yeah, I know. I know this. I know what this is. Go. It was really the last one about the biting into the cheese that got me there. Is it Bree?

Oh, no. God, damn it's not. Oh, fuck. Give me, give me the one sense I wanted most. All right, it's touch. It's touch. Oh, man, Bob, you feel this thing. And it's a nice square shape. And then, as you're feeling the flatter side,

You can feel ridges as your fingers go right through it in parts. Your description was just wrong, though. Okay. Your description was backward. It's Swiss cheese. It's Swiss cheese. It's Swiss cheese. Wouldn't the sound go bad?

Which description was bad? I wanted to give Swiss cheese because I knew that specifically that had identifiable features to it. You said that it had a mild taste. and a strong smell. I don't eat a lot of Swiss. I would describe most Swiss cheese as having a super mild smell, but a really sharp, tangy taste because of the, because of the, so I was thinking of like, brie and stuff because that's so mild.

See, when I think of the sharp, like, cheddar to me as, like, and some of the other cheeses are crazy. I don't smell cheese as well as other people, so, like, I don't smell Swiss that much. I was also thinking sound where it could be, If you hold it up to your hips and go, you'll hear like a hollow sound to it. That would have been worth. I would have accepted that. I was like, just please God, give me touch first.

Give me touch first. Oh, man, you, yeah, no, I swear to God, I spun the wheel and that was it. How to describe the taste of cheese without using the word cheese was tangy, creamy, nutty, dry. I don't have those descriptors for cheese. I have, it tastes like cheese. What color cheese does it taste like? What you're tasting is something that's not American, Bob.

It doesn't taste American at all. It tastes like foreign cheese. It tastes like it would be neutral in a war, Bob. Oh, that would have been such a sick one, though, because you'd be like, ah, it's a very neutral taste. Yeah, it's very mild, very neutral. Very pacifist taste. Feels neutral to the touch.

But rich, like, man, you would love to bank there. So I got to cheese really fast, just not the correct one. Yeah, yeah. That was my bad for giving like something with a specificity like that, but very well done. That was really funny because and the wheel punished me accordingly. Unfortunately, I don't think we have enough time because if we did do another, we'd have to do a back and forth. So I don't think we have time for two more. Speed round.

No, you guys won't. You guys would not. I know you guys. We got through three rounds and half an hour. That's not. eight four we did do four rounds so we did four rounds and have it yeah because if bob went first then you and then bob and you yeah so that was four because you it started with escalator than airplane and star from the switch so yeah we did four well done guys i'm gonna call it there uh i actually

have to count the points because i don't know wade your first you had that niche reference points you got der racho no asception that's funny you got two points for having two senses left on airplane, you got one point for guessing styrofoam, and you got Swiss cheese on the very last one. So it gives you seven points. Bob, 15 foot bridge. I-75 construction, you went first. Airplane, you got the guess there. Bad touch, very funny.

You got three points for styrofoam, and then one point for guessing Swiss cheese. That gives you nine points to Wade's seven. All right. Incoming golf rules. I like this theme of Wade ending episodes being down by two. Oh, not that you should use this now, Bob, but don't you have to do points for your downtime at some point? Oh, I forgot to do that, and the one I just hosted, it didn't matter.

It wouldn't have helped you, but... You don't know that. Mathematically, I feel like I do. Wade, you're down two points, so there's still a chance. Hasn't stop me before, except for the times it has. Come on, one spin. Never count me out. We're going to count you out as one.

All right, he got what he wanted. Come on, golf rules. No chance. We each get one thing we ask for. How about use the most senses in an episode? We're going to land on that. It's going to be, or as we call in this show, a re-spin spot. I smelled my armpit.

I tasted a drink. I watched this, and I listened to you guys. I did it. One spin, baby. It's going to be golf rules or host wins, which I prefer the golf rules. by their way, it's funny. Softest boy this episode? Well, I've not been hard at all.

I don't remember what that means. I gotta be honest. I don't remember or fully understand what exactly that means. No clue. All right, re-spin. Okay. Put S-O-T...

Wow. We got this last time. Put significant... The most bullshit. Hey, guess what, guys. I still did that. That's true. Yeah, the, the desk.

So... If it was weighed, it still has to be. Wade, that's true. In the last 20 minutes, what have you all done to your SOS? All right, one times for S-O bullshit. Oh, but... Actually, I did more to my S-O between episodes because she got caught outside

during a delivery that I forgot to tell her about with the dogs who almost ran into a car. Oopsies. Okay, well, that's not good. I put her through more bullshit. All right, well, that puts you up one more point, Wade, but unfortunately, Bob still has a commanding lead. Well, not very commanding, but

commanding enough of one more point. 9 to 8, Bob takes the episode. Congratulations, Bob. Yeah, yeah, I take the episode. Yeah, I do. Yeah. That was a fun episode. I know I'm not very good at guessing, but it is fun. It's especially fun to be on the describing side and see where someone's brain is going. The pressure is really all on the guess today. Like, the description is like, I want to make sure I get it right, but all of the pressure I felt like was on my guessing side. But it was very fun. I would love to continue and do more of that. Well, thank you very much. I appreciate it. Uh, Bob.

I liked all of it and I liked the balance that Mark installed into the game where the guesser could not just steal points by doing it on purpose. I don't think you did it on purpose, but it was very balanced, it felt very fair. I was rewarded heavily for my middle one there or my second one being so, or was it my first one. That was my second one being so quick and effective. That one worked out great and it feels good to win. And next time I'll totally remember do that bounty thing that I was supposed to have already done. Definitely. Well, thank you also for participating. That was fun. We worked out a few more of the rules

to make it a bit better. I think next time, yeah, I can do specific time for descriptions and specific time for guessing. We can get more structure there, but I think we all got that. And I'll get better matchups for future things if we do a sequel. But yeah, that was fun. I mean, it's hard to do perfect, but I thought those were fairly, those were fairly fair, actually. I think it was just hard. Yeah, I had, which I might use in the future, I had laser in here, and I'm like, because I was like, I wonder if I got to do a really tough one. It doesn't have to. Wait, for sound, do I have to describe it, or can I just make it?

You can make it? Yeah, you could definitely make the sounds. Butchew! But thank you everybody so much for watching and or listening. Hope you enjoyed it if you were infuriated because you knew what it was. Sorry, I guess. But if you were also like, oh, it's so obviously. And then you were guessing the wrong thing.

Ha-ha, it's not as easy as it looks, right? Maybe. Either way, thank you everybody so much at home for listening. Be sure to follow the podcast for more episodes. We have merch occasionally distractible.shop. And you can check out some of the stuff there. If it is there, if it is there. Yes, yes.
