Good evening, gentle listener, and welcome to Distractable.
This episode, bureaucratic Bob sleuths a screen situation,
then forces his friends to guess the worth of the worthness.
Wanking Wade, louse penthouse, has power problems, but knows his toast.
Marvelling Mark has heat-related performance issues,
then snaps up a scrotum strap, scarlet snot, and a ridden rubber.
From pork and pigs to Annie's huge helmet, it's time for The Cost is Correct. Now sit back and
prepare to be distracted and enjoy the show.
Hello and welcome back to another episode of Distractable.
And I promise this is the only time
during this entire episode
that we're going to mention pig orgasms.
I am your host, my name is Bob,
and I'm joined as ever by my two competitors for today
and pro maybe host of next time,
one of them I guess is how that works.
Wade and Barker here.
I'm not saying the beginnings of these episodes have been off putting,
but I feel slightly off put.
It's a one and only time.
So everyone can keep that in mind. Dear penthouse.
Dear Penthouse Forum, I can't believe it happened to me.
I'm shocked people even understand that reference because I don't even know, it's not even like
my generation that that's from.
It's not, no.
That was like a joke my dad and like his age make.
Gen X I guess is the generation that that is almost.
Older Gen X.
Is Penthouse even still around anymore?
I know a lot of magazines are basically on the way out so no idea.
I'm not gonna Google that just like I'm not going to Google Ashley Madison
because I don't want that on my search history. Who's looking at your search history? The
government. Yes, Penthouse magazine still exists and is available in both print and
digital formats apparently. So it does still exist. I don't know if you guys remember back
in the torrenting days, but I had a program called Kazaa. Oh I've never heard of this. There's a radio station I think I don't know that these
dudes are still on it but if you heard of Bob and Tom you guys have probably heard of Bob and Tom
right? Yeah yes. Okay well on top of their Mr. Obvious skits which I liked there was a song called
Dear Penthouse that was on Bob and Tom and I listened to that in like the early 2000s and every
time I hear you guys say Dear Penthouse like during that episode I just thought
of that song the whole time I know the whole song still after 25 years or
whatever I don't know anything about penthouse magazine I only knew about it
because of that song that's fair I think I only know about it from like weird
80s and 90s movie references where characters would make jokes about
writing the penthouse forum I don't even know when they would have been doing that as far as like publishing articles
that other people put in there.
That's what that joke is for those who don't get it.
But also at the same time, people probably know that about it, right?
People know things.
We're young, our references are hip.
Yeah.
What's up, fellow youths?
I just had my 12 year YouTube anniversary, which is kinda wild.
Old, old, old! I've only been doing it for four!
You've been doing it longer than me, you bitch. I've been watching you since 2007.
Yeah, that's not true. I've been watching you since the womb.
No, no, no. That was Smosh. That wasn't me.
Hmm.
I don't even know who you are. Get out of my house.
Yeah, we've been doing this a long time.
We're old.
Who do you mean?
We, I'm glad people liked that episode.
I was a little bit worried that that went on too long, but like I can't
control the dice, but I was like, man, this is a long bit.
You know how you can control the dice is by not inviting them into
our games in the future.
That's how you can control them.
People love dice.
They love random chance. They love the wheels. Only you don you can control them. Nah, people love dice. They love random chance.
They love the wheels.
Only you don't like them
because they never work out for you.
Everyone and especially me loves dice.
You all love dice.
Okay, roll one right now.
Let's see what the odds are.
What am I?
What are my?
Roll a 20 or I hate dice.
Let me guess, it's not a 20.
Oh, that's a 17.
Nah. Bullshit. If I saw 20, I was gonna cheat and roll it to 20, Let me guess it's not a 20. That's a 17.
Bullshit.
If I saw 20 I was going to cheat and roll at the 20 but I didn't even see the 20 so I wasn't going to try it.
I respect that. I'm going to give you a didn't cheat because lazy point.
Oh man 17 20 was right there I just didn't see it because it was facing away from me.
No.
No. Oh man what are we doing? away from me. Ah, Nah. Ah, Nah. Ah,
Ah.
Oh man, what are we doing?
What are we doing?
I don't know.
Everyone knows what we're doing.
This is distractible.
I'm the host, which means I'm the judge.
And you guys are trying to get points or less points.
Maybe it's the golf score episode.
I probably not.
We're getting more unhinged as this year goes on.
We're finally getting unhinged.
That's where this podcast is going.
Up until this recently, it's been very straight laced and made sense completely. So hinged. Look
at my hinge. To be fair. I said more on him. That's why they call us the door of podcasts
because the swear. Oh, I think said Dora and I was like, cause knocker, no knocking. But now we're the door NATO of podcasts.
Pinges are long gone.
The reference only we know.
I know that's literally reference.
No, like five other people in the entire world might remember.
God, I can't believe that rant didn't make it onto something
that didn't get corrupted for something that doesn't actually exist out there.
And only a reference to it.
It is it is right up there in media about that right up there with tribute.
You know, the song about the greatest song in the world.
We have a tribute of the greatest bit in the world that no one else will ever hear.
That was the original Bob's fridge.
That was. Yeah, it really was.
I think I might have been angrier.
It was a shorter burst of anger.
So it was more concentrated than Bob's fridge was. I don't remember what you were mad about, but I remember it was really funny. of anger. So it was more concentrated than Mub's Fridge was.
I don't remember what you were mad about,
but I remember it was really funny.
I was just tired.
We were just trying to give a post show like interview
for when we were doing the behind the scenes
and I was just fucking exhausted
and everyone was just jerking around.
My seat was uncomfortable.
Cause usually we did those in like the green room
or in our somewhere backstage or whatever. And that one was like, it was busy everywhere. So we were like the green room or in our somewhere behind backstage or whatever that one was like it was
Busy everywhere so we were like quick cram in the bus
We'll do it in the bus and I had just got a bad seat. It's had a just had a bad time
You know, I'm sorry, man. I just always regret that there's not a video of that
Oh, well, no one will ever know how good it was or wasn't anyway
Excuse you. I was just there was dust on it. There's a hair on it was or wasn't anyway excuse you I thought you were about to then take that
and slide it into the world's largest NES console I miss tech like that but
it's actually cake it turns on Mario starts playing and then you cut the TV
and the NES into pieces okay like whoa what fuck? I bet I can get an AI to render that video.
Yeah, except it'll have like nine arms.
Cakes don't even have arms.
You take the good with the bad.
Man, sugar-free Red Bull is not the same.
It really hits you right in the area.
Anyway, you guys got small talk?
How you doing?
How you been?
How's it going?
I have a disaster.
Oh.
Go on.
So, you know, on the last episode,
I was saying that my render farm is working.
I don't want to ruin the illusion for people,
but you mean, you mean like 40 minutes ago?
Yeah, well.
When you bragged about how your render farm was working.
I said it in there because I knew that if I got into it,
it would be a longer thing, so I didn't want that to be part of it.
It has not been going as good as I may have suggested it was going.
Oh, no.
Go on.
This is an issue that me and there's an IT guy that's helping me out with setting some
of it up. He's doing more of the like the software side,
getting things to actually arranged in that capacity.
And so one of the persistent problems is a server
that I bought, which is a density,
like a high density server.
It's four nodes in like a two unit thing.
They're long, but it's meant to cram as much
process power into small pace as possible.
The issue with that is not in me putting it together.
It's not in the water cooling that I set up
because in the compact space, you need water cooling
or else it's going to overheat.
They're so crammed in there.
And so you need an external water cooling solution.
All that works.
But after all that work that I've put in,
and I probably put in like 100, 200 hours
into just setting up those parts of it
with all the water cooling pieces in there.
There's still a persistent performance problem.
The chips themselves are fine.
They come back and they all the checks come together.
But what it's boiled down to is the specific server brand that it is
has not put out an update to the chipset for those processors.
And that's just something that is,
I don't know if there's a way to just go directly
to the Intel makes a processors and go like,
hey, you got drivers, give them to me.
Or if it's something where you have to kind of like
figure out a way to program it in yourself,
you gotta get the chipset drivers
from the manufacturer of the processor
and then they integrate with the board.
But there's a problem.
The longer you use them, the more the performance just starts to go and eventually it locks up so bad you can't use
it how long is this like if you do it for a couple days or is this like 10 minutes 15 minutes is
about the time it starts not long enough that's not long enough to do it's like yeah you can just
reset it every night so i thought this would have resolved. I've done like BIOS updates.
I've done, you know, firmware updates.
I've done every update that I can that is provided
by the manufacturer of the server.
The end result, I think, and I'm in communication
to like do a big return,
is to do a different server platform.
There's another company, and I'm not naming any of them
because I don't know if one works or not.
Okay, Asus servers, I'm gonna say,
are the ones that are not working right now
in this specific use case.
They have worked in other things that I've done before.
Asus or whatever it's called.
And so Gigabyte makes an equivalent product that has also the hyper dense
four unit thing.
But I have to undo all the water cooling.
I literally have to unbuild everything I've built
to pull it out of the computers, box those back up,
return these giant 100 pound gigantic boxes, and then get new ones in and rebuild all the bullshit all over again, which took me
OW! DAYS! WEEKS!
BWAAAAAAH!
This sounds like the kind of server I wouldn't leave a tip, and I always leave a tip.
Give him a point. Just, I can't, right. All right. All right. Mark said so.
Have you thought about talking to the server's manager?
I am the manager. That sucks though. That really sucks.
It's a big pain in the ass because as far as I know, it should work. They read fine.
When they're working, the performance is exactly where it should be all is lining up. It's not overheating
I even thought that it might have been one of the peripheral components in the server overheating at one point
I had a graphics card in there a very small compact one
I took that out because I thought it was overheating apparently it was not the problem either
And no other peripheral in there because the fans are very loud
I do the water cooling also to try to quiet it down a bit
They're running at full bore and still just crashing
I think it's just because the chipset is not updated to run with those processors
There's some kind of paging file system memory system error that's building up over time
That's causing like consecutive errors that run into each other and then eventually it freezes. That one's a little a sus
Nope, no, I give myself one for whatever that's worth.
But anyway, so that's the latest. It's not all sunshine roses, but half of the other
random farm is still working. It's just those hyper dense ones that are not working, which are
the most recent edition. And it's, it's something I can return. It's just like, that's hours. I don't
have not devastating, but it's unfortunate. Just means I got to undo a lot of work and redo it.
But it'll probably be fine once you redo it.
It'll probably work then.
Yeah, it probably will maybe.
But I do know that the Gigabyte servers do have a late
and more recent BIOS update than ASUS did.
ASUS's last BIOS update is not only last year,
but it's like mid last year.
Whereas Gigabyte has a BIOS update that you can apply to the server as of earlier this year,
which is after the processors actually launched.
So I know that the old BIOS is not current as of the processor's release date,
and these ones on the other server are.
So ideally that should work, because the processors are fine.
Probably.
Great small talk. Thanks for suffering.
I believe in you buddy.
Your agony has provided a lot of content over the years, Mark.
Thank you.
Can't wait to provide more whenever I get into 3D printing deeper because that probably
is my next hyperfixation and oh boy I can't wait.
I've already had problems with this one here and it works great and there's still been
a lot of problems.
I myself am also having tech problems.
And I'm not the tech guy. You guys are the tech guys.
I really wanted to do a spit take with my Red Bull there, but then I realized I would just be spraying it all over my monitor.
And you could have some more tech problems.
You would have at least gotten a bonus point for that maybe.
You're right.
I probably would have, but I'll get I'll make it up on the back half.
Guys, these monitors, they all three are on and they're working and only once a week
do I have to turn my computer off, unplug everything
for 20 minutes, plug it back in and turn it on
for them all three to work.
That's normal, yeah.
I don't understand.
It's normal.
I reached out to LG and I was like,
why is this happening to me?
And they went through all these questions.
They're like, do you have three of this model? Yep. They all work. Yep. They worked at the
same time. Yep. These two work together. Those two work together. These two are worked together,
but they don't all three always work together. Yep. That's it.
Wait a minute. Do you have enough power?
I assume so. Cause right now they're all three working.
But that's, that might be the thing. because those monitors do require a lot of power.
I know I think about this a lot because the power draw in my server is actually a big concern which
is why I over killed it but even now with 240 volt circuits and stuff like that I have to be
very cognizant of the power with three monitors and a high powered computer and a NAS and don't
you have another computer in there? He does. Oh yeah there's two computers, four monitors, one with the other computer, camera, this, lights. That's a lot of power. Do you only have one circuit
running to that room? I believe I have two. Are they plugged into the two? Do you know which plugs
are the ones on the different ones? Well let me tell you, other computer and monitor, sonology,
are all on one. Everything else is on the other.
Except for the lights, lights are kinda spread out.
How big is the power supply on your computer?
Is it a 1600?
They're an easy way to check without having to bend over
and look at my computer.
No, you kinda have to go look at it.
Yours is probably under the shroud,
under the bottom of the case too, if I had to guess,
so you'd really have to look at the back of the thing.
I always get more power than I think I need.
What's your graphics card?
The 4090.
It's probably a pretty beef power supply.
It's probably 1600 watt power supply.
Quite large, yeah.
I don't get it, man.
The house circuit is only 1800 watts.
You can pull out of it.
It can do more, but then you risk tripping the fuse.
What Mark is saying is you should plug a couple,
if not all of your monitors into the other circuit
on like an
extension. I also have my computer plugged into like a battery backup. That definitely limits
your power that can only put out so much power. Do you have your monitors plugged into the ups too?
No just the computer. It's probably a straight pass through then it's probably still just so
load on the whole circuit because those batteries usually are passed through until unless they detect something.
Yeah, and so far I've had no issues with that.
I don't think, but I don't know, man.
I'm just tired of having to do that every single week because it's like a 20, 30
minute process, and sometimes I don't have that kind of time.
Also, I haven't found a way to stop the monitors from like going to sleep
or turning themselves off.
And sometimes the issue is if one of the monitors goes to sleep, it't wake back up and that's when i have to unplug and redo everything mark
might be on his own i might be on to something okay maybe it is power but lg i went through all
these questions with them they didn't ask about power of all things they were like they probably
assumed this guy's probably got the power necessary for are they plugged into electricity check yeah
well i talked to the person and they were like,
this is more than I usually deal with.
Let me get my manager.
So I talked to the manager and whoever else too.
And they were like, you know what you need to do?
Who makes your graphics card?
And I was like, well, it says Republic of Gamers.
So you know who that means,
Mark's favorite company right now.
And they were like, you should reach out to them.
They can solve our monitors not working.
And I was like, uh, yeah.
The classic must be their problem.
So I reached out and I actually never heard back
from their tech support team ever.
The number one customer service solution
followed closely there by the number two
customer service solution of don't return that one.
They're working, they're working right now.
They work great when they work, but man,
once a week, unplug everything, sit here fucking myself for 20 minutes,
plug them back in.
That middle part doesn't seem like it's necessary.
I'll see you past the time.
That would also make sense why two does work,
because that probably means that two,
but not three of them tucks right under the power,
potentially.
I don't know, would it pop the breaker though,
or would it just, would you just have like weird malfunctioning stuff because you'd be
starving something for power? I don't know how that works with electricity.
I don't know. Anyway, Mark's probably white. Mark's probably white, Wade.
What? Excuse me! Mark's probably white! I knew it! You should plug your monitors in
somewhere else. I will try that the power has been mentioned
Have you ever happened to notice does it does it happen when they're like there's a lot of shit happening
So the monitors might be operating at peak something. No the first time it happened. I literally launched a game from Steam
I launched I launched once human and then one of them went off and never came back on after that
No, it's just literally I'll turn my computer on
and then only two of the monitors will work.
Or if the monitors go to sleep,
shake my little mouse and then only two come back on
and then they'll go into like Nvidia control or display.
It's like only two monitors detected.
Well, there's a third one plugged in, can you identify?
Nope, that doesn't exist.
Sounds like you might not have enough power.
This is unrelated to anything,
but I really want someone to make a computer mouse
that makes the noises that the rat from Rat Shaker makes
every time you move it.
Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
You could just have it in the background
as you do anything in there.
Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
I can't believe you've voiced that character
without even telling us you were gonna be in the game, Mark. I thought of people are like this sounds just like you I was like that's Takahata
I swore I he even DM me afterwards
I was like I thought it was I thought it was me too and I forgot that I did something
You guys know who Takahata is I think so that name sounds familiar. He voiced pretty much everything
He voiced a lot of the team four star stuff. He was cell, you know, yeah, that's okay. That's what I thought
He's now a Vtuber. Yeah, that's okay, that's what I thought. He's now a VTuber. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I watched the DBZ abridged
with like the creator, director's cut of whatever it was
where they did commentary.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, good small talk, everybody.
Help us, Bob.
Help us.
I have an episode.
Mark, your last episode idea gave me another episode idea.
Bob's Hyper Fixation.
Kind of.
This is really sort of, this is a hyper fixation, but I want to talk about this because I think
it's weird.
And not in a judgmental way, because you can like whatever you want and I certainly wouldn't
begrudge anyone.
I just think it's weird how much people are willing to spend on this.
Today I wanna talk about celebrity memorabilia.
Lots of, I don't know about lots,
some people are willing to spend untold amounts of money
on things like one of Lady Gaga's broken acrylic nails
from her Born This Way tour and so on and like I
Get that people collect things and maybe you love a celebrity. Is there a celebrity for you guys?
Where you're like, oh if I just had like their autograph, I'd be cool
I'd love to have that is it does this connect with you at all on any level?
I really I don't really look up to any celebrity at all or really ever have.
There probably are some exceptions. Most of them are short.
No, stop. No, it's the opposite. It's the opposite. Stop. What the fuck was that?
Wait, it's real laugh finally happened.
I don't know what that was. Waits where your laugh finally happened.
It's just like pure doctor evil.
Now somehow it's less.
No, it's less now.
That fucked my sinuses up though.
Something is horribly wrong inside my head now.
You should get that deviated septum fixed.
That's what you need to do.
Ah, surgery who needs it?
Molly had that.
She's in pain.
I don't want that.
Molly had that.
Didn't fix nothing.
This is not a thing that I particularly understand either,
but like I said, collect what you wanna collect.
Lots of people collect things
that are not interesting to me.
Even Shakira, man, it's like, I wouldn't,
what would I do with it?
I remember there's like the weird Al eBay song
where he's like, Shatner's old toupee I found on eBay,
and it's like, what do you do with that?
I don't know, but what I do wanna talk about
more particularly, now that I know you guys
are both experts on this topic, is I to play the game of the price is right.
Yes. On celebrity memorabilia that has sold, but we're going to do it. We're going to do
it as like a back and forth higher lower. So someone gets to go first. I will tell you
if it's higher or lower than that and we'll zero in and I don't know
if we're gonna go all the way to the exact number we're gonna zero in until I'm satisfied that we're
in the ballpark enough. If we nail it like dead on do we automatically win the episode? It's prices,
it's double showcase rules if you guess the exact price of a thing you instantly win. I'll even say
the episode is instantly over. Editors, if someone guesses the
exact price, the moment I look at the camera and go, that's correct, that's exactly Black Screen
episode, don't wait for me to do anything, just mid-sentence, just yeah. And no Googling. This is
one where these are such specific things, you could definitely find out the answers by Googling.
That's fair. But here we go. In the year 2000, one lucky NSYNC fan
got the opportunity of a lifetime
because they got to have a breakfast interview
on a radio station live with Justin Timberlake.
And the fan was taken even more by surprise
when JT didn't eat his French toast and just left it on the plate and they
thought to themselves as any of us might, well I better take the french toast with me.
They then sold that french toast at auction.
French toast he didn't eat, didn't touch, it was just-
Sat in front of him for an entire I'm assuming not very long interview.
He breathed on it.
This was, this was french toast that was in the presence of JT.
It felt how back sexy was even before everyone else knew.
That's not even a collectible you could keep
cause food, okay, go on.
How much did this French toast sell for at auction?
How much was French toast in the year 2000?
Like 30 cents, I don't know
which is a gallon of milk these days $10 I have a guess
Marco's first $1,324 lower I thought the episodes are gonna end right there I
thought I had that good I was really honestly hoping it would but no lower lower. Sorry
$87.50 higher
Man
$284 higher
$726 higher so I was close you were very close
That's why I cringe there was a reason that I was like oh one thousand two hundred and twenty one dollars lower
okay so I wasn't that close you were you were fairly close for a blind guess $50 lower 1095 lower 1006 higher
1054 dollars and 79 cents lower
1040 dollars point you said lower
1022 89 $40 point you said lower 10
2289
27
Episode is I don't think it counts after the we can do the higher and lower I think it's sort of the first guess is where that really that was for French toast that you could keep for like a day
and then you have to throw out anyway.
That doesn't make any sense.
Nineteen year old who apparently won the bidding war on the French toast said,
Congrats. I'll probably freeze dry it and then seal it and keep it on my dresser.
Again, not here to judge what other people might enjoy in their lives.
I would not be interested in having that anywhere in my life.
But I hope you enjoyed your thousand dollar french toast.
You know the show Hey Arnold where Helga like would have Arnold's gum
and she made like a shrine of gum?
That is less weird to me than the french toast.
And they ended up together after all.
That was true love I think, didn't they?
It's okay guys. This next one is something that,
yes it's memorabilia, but also it's really useful.
In 2008, Scarlett Johansson appeared on The Tonight Show.
At some point during her time on the show,
she needed to blow her nose.
After leaving behind some lipstick
and also some nose boogers,
she signed the tissue and sealed it
in a bag and left it. Where'd it go? Oh, and took it with her. She claimed that Samuel L. Jackson had
given her the cold, thus making the tissue even more valuable. She'd go on to put it on eBay to
sell it and donate the proceeds to charity. Oh, she did this
She did this she signed it. There's a picture of her on the show
She signs it she puts it in a bag on TV takes it put sells on eBay donates to charity
How much money did Scarlett Johansson?
Samuel L Jackson's germs get to donate to charity in 2008.
Wade gets to go first on this one.
All right, 2008, that was like the housing financial crisis.
Money was tight.
Scarlett Johansson, charity ups the value
just because people will be like,
I'll spend more because it's for a good cause.
The French toast was a thousand, he didn't even touch it.
A tissue with her snot and lipstick
and Samuel L. Jackson disease,
that's gotta be like $8 seven hundred thirty four dollars. Ooh lower financial crisis
financial crisis. In 2008 so I'm thinking like she wasn't the first Iron Man I
believe. That was like the second one wasn't it where she fights happy in the
in the intro of the whole thing that's us that's the start of the second one
where the shield guys are trying to... She wasn't even MCU yet.
Okay, so yeah.
But she was in several movies, so...
I mean, she was already famous.
The MCU didn't make Scarlett Johansson, I don't think.
I'm gonna go with my previous guess, $1,384.
I love that guess.
Higher.
Damn.
$4,222.
Bad guess.
Higher.
Bad guess?
Why is that one bad?
Terrible guess, terrible guess.
Yeah, probably higher
because some bodily fluids are involved.
You could clone Scarlett Johansson probably from that tissue
if you could.
6,712.
Terrible guess. Lower.
59.49.
Lower.
54.49.
Lower.
52.50. Higher. 53.50. Lower. 5449 lower 5449 lower
5250 I hear
5350 lower 53
Is that it? No
One oh man slower than that 53
That's fucking me. It's $5,300. Yeah, I win! He went over!
God damn it! What the fuck?
This is bullshit.
I was honestly, I was gonna give that back to you, but even you seem to have conceded that.
Mark took that one unfair and square from you.
Fine, I was busy trying to figure out what movies she was known for before 2008.
Did you figure it out?
She was in like The Prestige, she was in Home Alone 3, 2007,
she was in a drama with Chris Evans.
She was in Home Alone 3?
I don't remember Home Alone 3 very much,
so I don't know what that is.
That was the first one without Macaulay Culkin.
Yeah, that was I think the first one without him,
and that was the house and the,
oh, I don't remember the story,
but I remember the setting in the house,
and the kid was really into remote control cars or something and had a car with like a camera on it that he was driving
around I think. She played his older sister in that movie Molly Pruitt. Oh my god I still don't
remember her as being in that movie but she must have been like really young I don't know anyway I
like I like that movie. All right guys you'll definitely know this next one. It's it was very public John Oliver on his show last week tonight famous
For buying funny shit with HBO's money cuz he's he's a funny guy at Russell Crowe's
Art of divorce auction. I guess was an auction where they were selling off things to pay for a divorce
He was going through it's unclear
It's not explained in this but the total total, the Art of Divorce auction
netted $3.7 million in sales.
But from this auction, John Oliver bought the jockstrap
that Russell Crowe wore while filming the movie Gladiator.
Ooh.
Oliver is quoted as saying,
"'It's a big price to pay just to find out
what Russell Crowe's balls smelled like in
2005 and apparently he I don't know if you did buddy
See under the quote. Yeah, this is a big price to pay for yeah
anyway
Apparently they donated it to a struggling video store in Alaska as like a now they have like an attraction some people go to the
Store and help support the business, but anyway Russell Crowe's Jockstrap from Gladiator.
It's a big price to pay.
John Oliver said big price.
Mark goes first.
One of the most famous movies of all time.
Just had a sequel maybe come out.
Did it come out?
Has it come out?
Yeah, like this past weekend, I think.
Yeah.
I mean, recently maybe or in the future.
We don't know when it is.
Jockstrap, he probably would have worn it multiple times.
Really soaked in there, but 2005
It doesn't get better with age or to some people probably I'm guessing this was resold because someone was like, oh I gotta get rid
Of this thing. It's getting ripe. So
I'm gonna guess
2385 higher
15,000
125 dollars man. Yeah small bold, it is lower than that.
I wish it was $15,000, I'm not gonna lie.
Glad you're such a big film.
$5,000 even.
Higher.
$8,750
Lower.
$6,819
Higher.
$8,250
Higher.
$8,437
Higher.
$8,250 higher $8,437 higher $8,500 higher
$8,529 higher
$8,600 lower
$8,575 lower
$8,000
$8,550
$8,550
$8,550
$8,550
It's lower than $86.50. I'm going to go ahead and say that your guess. What the
fuck? Fine. It's lower than 85 50, 85 40. Dang, dang, dang. This is bullshit. Well,
you got it wrong with either guess. I just think this price is bullshit. You're the one
who pressured me to give Mark the tighter clue with your bad you think I'm it protesting why are you listening to
me man I one of you really cares about celebrity memorabilia and one of you
really is unbothered which one I don't know who's who we look at marks
background we see the chalk strap this this envy a me drive I've been twiddling
it was up Samuel L. Jackson's behind.
Oh it's like Christopher Walken in the pocket watch. Captain in his ass.
I want to go weirder.
Oh weirder? Okay.
Oh this one's interesting. This one's interesting because it has a twist that impacts the value of it.
Okay.
I almost died.
You alright?
I have an anecdote.
Okay, anecdote break.
So this is just a random thing that I don't know why I was reminded.
When you said weirder, I remembered something I witnessed the other day.
Amy and I were in a restaurant and it was quiet.
There weren't that many people in there and someone came in and asked for a glass of water
and then was looking around and watching the sushi chefs make.
It was a sushi place.
And out of the corner
I'm not paying him much mind, but I noticed something fell on the floor of my peripheral
I look over and this man is now walking very quickly out out the door
And I look on the floor and there's a used condom on the floor and my brain
Processed that this man as for a glass of water walked over to watch the sushi chefs
And then a used condom fell out of his pant leg onto the floor.
That man was celebrity and I backed it up and sold it on auction for $7,200.
Anyway, I don't know, it just reminded me of that.
If a used condom fell out of Justin Timberlake's pant leg, it would have sold for so much at auction.
Oh my god.
You can guarantee it.
Even Russell Crowe's pet leg.
I mean to that five Russell Crowe.
He was pretty, he was hunk.
He's hunky, right?
Yeah.
Forget gamer girl bathwater.
You'd have singer boy.
She's rubber.
I just don't get why you ran away.
Cause I got a person who where I use condom might just fall out of your pants because
you didn't even realize that had happened.
He should have just owned it and been like, yeah happens a lot
Yeah, well happens a lot of time like a condom falls out of your pants and you're like, oh no
They're gonna know I have a lot of sex
Like that's a weird mix of reaction with the consequence with reaction
I guess yeah, I wear so many of these just happens all the time. It's like a fucking run
What do you dispose of it after we just like it was reading outside before?
It runs away like a muppet.
So I didn't know what to do because it's like, do I tell an employee?
Are they going to think it's my condom?
So, but.
They could have think it's my condom.
Honestly, it's not mine.
I swear.
This dude was in here and I heard a plop
and I looked over and there was a condom on the ground
I'm not saying who's it was
I hope someone saw you looking down at the ground at the condom and just like staring at it and they're like
Markiplier just leave a condom on the ground
Thankfully well not thankfully for the wait step
But one of the wait steps came over around the corner looked down before they stepped on everything when they're like, oh wow
And then went to get a broom and dustpan. Is that a Trojan Magnum? Oh wow. Oh wow
Is it my lucky day? I did one of these for later. No, it's just thinking
I don't know if I could afford one of these and dinner
I was just thinking I don't know if I could afford one of these and dinner
It's barely used who would throw a perfectly good condom. What's the eBay market like for lightly used?
Great condition proof that it's sealed. It is hold it up. It's not dripping. I see
I'm sorry distracted
Let's get back to the let's get that story mark good story. Anyway, Joan Rivers famous
Like celebrity personality hosts things on TV, you know, you know Joan Rivers. She's always on the red carpet interviewing people You know, she's very like a famous celebrity personality type person
She has a dog or had a dog at one point anyway. I was gonna say didn't she pass away like 10 years ago?
Possibly. I don't actually I don't know her follower. So if she did this isn't funny, so it's not ruining her memory
It's about her dog. She had a dog named spike is a terrier this dog lived a charmed life and had a
bespoke
Tiffany's dog bowl Tiffany's is that very famous like jewelry brand
that's known for their diamonds.
Is that the Tiffany blue thing?
It's like a high end, if you get a Tiffany's box,
you got some fancy shit in there.
Spikes Tiffany Bespoke Dog Bowl,
apparently sold at auction for almost 30 times
its estimated worth just for its Tiffany-ness.
How much did it sell?
Uh, Wade goes first? Yeah, Wade goes first. Oh good, okay. Tiffany's is expensive. 30 times.
30 times that value. I don't know what this dog bowl looked like, if there were any like
gems in it, or if it was just the the ramek. I'm gonna throw a hint out and say I hope there were
some gems or diamonds or something in it. Let's go
$15,000 I'm going cheap. It is lower than that cheap. It's a dog bowl
Yeah, but 30 times its value. What's your dog bowls? I don't get them from Tiffany's where you spend a minimum of $500
I don't force my dogs to drink out of anything that costs less than 20 racks
I think assuming it was $500 was a fair assumption.
You'd think that Bob was playing that up too much.
Come on Wade.
It's a dog bowl.
Celebrity Tiffany's 30 times value.
Okay, it's got gyms in it.
It's the big bowl.
He was leading you to the water.
You didn't drink.
I basically told you the answer.
A $500 dog bowl from Tiffany's is not that absurd of a thought. All right
It's it's a lower
5995
No
You know, it's a funny number mark. That's a funniest number you said yet. I think thank you
Six thousand seven hundred fifty dollars higher eight thousand two hundred and twenty higher ten thousand eleven thousand
12,000 and 13,000
Higher
15,000 such a crazy number. We're at the ballpark now. I don't know. Maybe I'm just reacting randomly to throw you off the scent
fourteen thousand dollars I don't know. Maybe I'm just reacting randomly to throw you off the scent
$14,000
Wow mark's really kicking your ass today
It's 14 sold for $14,000
Super close to it
I know yeah weird how that works. Isn't it? This is some bullshit. I want my ink
I was just chucking 14 even to get close. I didn't know that was it.
Wow.
I'm the guy in Oregon Trail who cocks his wagon
and floats and dies watching everyone else
cock their wagons and succeed.
Get better cock.
I can't, I can't afford the toilet to handle it.
Well, this next one involves multiple famous people.
So that'll make it easier.
Kim Kardashian bought this...
Oh, at least a million.
For one of her children, North West.
I don't know if West is still their last name, but her child, North, named North.
For Christmas, this child was six years old, so obviously this was the absolutely perfect
gift for a six-year-old.
It was an outfit worn by Michael Jackson.
It was a jacket with a lot of fancy embroidery on it and I don't know if it's all together,
but sitting around it there was a white glove and also the iconic sort of white hat,
the smooth criminal hat that still has a little bit of stage makeup on it because it was actually
worn. I was thinking Jackson 5 so the kid could at least wear the outfit.
This is an adult Michael Jackson outfit.
This is like one of Michael Jackson's like iconic god of pop music like during his peak
outfits.
I'm sure you can imagine he had lots of very nice tailored embroidered jackets and elaborate
stage outfits and things.
This is one of those.
It's a very fancy, worn in an actual performance,
possibly multiple times,
a perfect gift for a six-year-old for Christmas.
Anyway, how much did this sell for?
My guess?
Marco's first, yeah.
Sixty thousand dollars.
Higher.
What?
I thought you were about to end it right there.
So that was a powerful guess, but it is higher.
$69,000 lower.
60,995 higher.
63,000 higher.
66,000 lower. 66,000 lower.
64,500 dancing all around it.
It's higher than that.
65,000.
There you go.
I don't know if you guys are picking up yet.
These are all like mostly evenish numbers that we're coming across here.
No, no, one of them is not going to be.
We're going to keep doing our thing.
I don't think I've gotten a single one of these.
This is my coin flip.
You have not gotten a single one of these.
Oh no.
Don't call it a comeback, baby.
I'm coming back.
I'm still mad about the dog bowl, guys.
That was so close.
I know, I really screwed you on that one.
You sure did.
It's fine.
Your game, man.
This might be the last one
as we're coming up on time here,
but this is one that I know we know about.
Especially Wade knows about this.
This mask was worn when Darth Vader revealed to Luke that he was in fact his father.
This is the mask that was captured on film during that iconic scene during that classic
franchise.
The mask is made of fiberglass and foam.
It is an actual movie prop,
so it's not made out of anything super nice.
It serves its purpose.
It looks like Darth Vader,
because it is the mask that is Darth Vader.
It sold for a little bit more than double
what they thought it was gonna go for at auction.
That's a completely unhelpful hint.
What year was it auctioned?
I don't even know if I have that information.
Cause that's gonna affect the price a lot too.
Cause that it was auctioned in 1980 versus 2020 or something.
Oh, it's 2019.
There we go.
Okay, recent.
Very recent, very recent, 2019.
Was that before or after the new trilogy kind of flopped?
It's kind of in the middle of it, isn't it?
Didn't like, didn't the first one of the new trilogy kind of flopped. It's kind of in the middle of it isn't it? Didn't like uh didn't the first one of the new trilogy come out and like well I don't wasn't that 2018 2017?
Time is weird man I don't remember what years they all came out. I don't know I don't know.
All right so anyway they how much more did it go for? It went for a little bit more than twice as
much as they thought it was going to go for. $20,000. Higher.
Oh, apparently the Force Awakens came out in 2015, the Last Jedi came out in 2017, and
the Rise of Skywalker came out at the end of 2019.
But this sold in leading up to the release of the third movie in the new trilogy.
I'm going to guess because all these have been increasing.
Oh, Mark, seeing patterns.
$117,000. Higher. Fuck. $117,000. Higher. $150,000. Higher. $265,000. Higher.
Fuck. $500,000. Higher. $1,800,000. Lower. But what if it was higher would that be funny?
1.5 million dollars lower
1.15 million dollars lower
1,000,000 dollars god. I wish it was but it's really not it's lower than that
845,000 higher
850,000 higher
915,000 higher $915,000 lower $900,000 lower
$875,000 higher $880,000 higher
Got one! Alright!
I'm on the board!
How many more things we got?
Let's go.
Power, power thirst.
Power thirst?
Power thirst.
Speed, speed parming.
What the fuck am I trying to say?
Keep going.
You got it.
Higher?
Lower?
I don't want to play anymore.
There's no way I can even rig this to help you out Wade.
I'm not going to sugar coat it.
Excellent.
Wade, I will give you three guesses and if you get this on any of the three guesses,
I will give you three points on first guess, two points on second guess, one point on third
guess. Excellent. I think I'm only down by one. So that's good. Yeah. Ish. Um, Michael
Jordan basketball superstar or these Nike airships during the regular season of his rookie year in 1984, and then signed them.
He gifted these autographed shoes
to a Denver Nuggets ball boy after a game
when he felt like he was done using them.
He needed a new pair, he signed them,
and he just gave them to one of the ball boys on the court
as he was making his way back into the locker room
or whatever, and I don't know if the ball boy kept them
until this sale,
but most recently they sold at auction,
signed Michael Jordan rookie airships.
How much did they sell for, guest number one?
I was trying to trick you to telling me.
It might've worked.
$2 million.
Lower.
$650,000.
Higher.
$1.5 million.
Oh, $1.5 million on guest number three earns you one point.
That's right, Mark.
I'm not an ordinary contestant.
Wade knows about Darth Vader and basketball and Mark knows about literally everything
else.
That's what we're going to call it on the points.
The person whose name I read first. I'm not going to tell you. Maybe you win, maybe you lose. Don't read into it.
Wade, your name is first. You earned points for didn't cheat cuz lazy, then
it's cake. Give him a point cuz Mark gave you one. Wade's real laugh came out.
Cheap dog bowl, scoff, Darth Vader mask, and Air Jordans. That's like 30 points. Mark, you earned points for OLD! OLD! OLD!
You know, the render farm?
Do you have enough power?
Justin Timberlake french toast?
Scarlett Johansson's gross tissue?
Russell Crowe balls?
Mark's used condom?
Portions going...
Thousand dollar...
What did I write?
$44,000 bowl probably?
And Michael Jackson's outfit. You literally
got six of those correct to Wade's too, but he got two important ones. Correct. Just cause
they're more important, but dollar mountain. Oh, have pity on me. I'm having a stroke.
Oh, all right. Mark earned some bonus stroke points. wait you are the total seven points for all of that and mark
You were in a total of eight points. Oh damn your stroke that gave me the win
Let's stop bumping up to spin the wheel of pain probably no
I didn't I didn't even give him the bonus stroke point honestly you needed to get the
Michael Jordan sneakers guests on the first try to have a chance at winning
You were three or two points
down when you took that challenge. Honestly I'm surprised I was that close. You did get it in
three guesses which was pretty good, which did earn you a point, but that was not enough. As the
loser, Wade, please give us a loser speech. Look, I think this episode is proof in the pudding that I
don't really collect much. I don't care about celebrities, including, if you count us.
You don't care about me?
We're just all normal people
and no one needs to buy weird stuff
that we might leave behind.
That being said, I've got some old cutlery
that I've been using for years.
Might be on eBay soon,
and you should definitely buy it for lots of money.
That'll probably work.
I just wanna throw this out there.
I totally forgot I had another webpage open.
I was gonna have you guys guess how much three sections of corporal light which is fossilized dinosaur poop is worth
But that's uh, we didn't get to that. So maybe next time we'll talk about dinosaur poop. Anyway, Mark winner speech
I've realized now that if I start sneezing into tissues and selling them at rapid pace
I can make far more money than I ever did
making YouTube videos or even this podcast.
So I'm officially announcing my retirement
and my untirement to eBay's sneeze department.
So look forward to a lot of me and a lot of tissues.
That sounds, that's.
Don't be weirded out if you invite Bob and I over
and we go through your trash and wardrobe.
He doesn't have anything in there. so I think that's pretty much useless.
Why do I want his one pair of pants that's full of holes?
Yeah, it is really that. I was about to say, it is... I do not have pants.
Those will sell for so much, Mark. People want your holy pants.
Well, these are Mark's only pants. He's just naked now.
Yeah.
Anyway, congratulations, Mark. You did really well.
I feel like that was very fair.
You both had a lot of knowledge on the subject and I'm really proud of myself for coming
up with such a good idea that everyone loves so much. That's the end of the episode. Make
sure you check us out on our socials. Markiplier, LordMini777, MySkirm. We have merch. ExtractableStore.com.
It's out there. And until next time, you know, the thing, the, what do we say? Oh, right.
