smokeless fire. Barefooted Bob plays footsie with Wade, and manscapes everywhere but his balls. Mariner Mark manages the wonderful Wade-ster, plays p pyromaniac and seems to shrink over the episode. From hot tub cams to formalized fart gags. Heheheheeeeeeees! It's time for the inaugural boat episode. Now sit back and prepare to be distracted and enjoy the show. Well,

we've done it. We've satisfied the requirements. The boat is really trying not to hang out with us. Who's got the controller for the boat? It's over there. Over there. I can get it. You want it? Yeah, I'll take it. Zoom it around, baby. Just move nice and slow. Just, it's the sitting down that you really gotta watch out for. I will say, the hot tub feels pretty good on my back. I figured it's not waterproof, right? This is... It's very much not waterproof. Ah, ooh. Nice. Okay, alright. Nice. Get weighed. See, ooh, nice. Okay, all right. Nice. Get weighed.

See, it's trickier than you, ugh. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha Yeah, can we make amendments to the Constitution? What's wrong with the Constitution? It has rules. That's very threatening. It's not how I thought that was going to control it all. I'm stopping. Is this as much stop as I can manage? Are we deciding that that's sort of the deal then? That was what we decided in the last one. We would have biannual twice a year, which is what we meant.

We meant that. That's what we meant. That's what we meant. We had the first one. This is the second one of the year. We will be back here again in Christmas. Oh, that'll be a fun hot tub. I thought it was every other year. We're doing it three times a year. Are we always reassembling in hot tubs? Don't you know what bi-annual means? Dude, I didn't even listen the last time we made rules.

What makes you think I know what words mean? Where do you think... Where did we make the rules? Do you remember? Oh, on paper Sorry everybody He's allergic to rules. I don't have a cough button here. I would have you know you next time Sorry, yeah, this is very different cuz we're in we're in the same place. What was that? I don't want to do anything because it was supposed to be silent coughing, but just in the background of this shot So yeah, we're here because we promise this.

You actually made this rule. I do like boats. So this checks out. I feel like when you wake up, you reboot as a human from the get-go and you just access some memories and others get flushed into the track. You're like Wally when he gets the new circuit board.

Yeah, yeah. I've had to start using the calendar app in my phone to keep track of things because I'm just very busy and it's like every day I have no idea what to expect until that alarm goes off. It's like reminder it in two hours you have it's like oh man I got to cancel this other thing I was gonna do that's crazy. The thing about the calendar app you could check that in the days prior to. You think I remember that the day of when I wake up? as you're falling asleep, you could just glance me like tomorrow I mean sometimes I do but sometimes it's just an adventure. How did you get through college?

I used to be a lot more well I wouldn't say organized but I used to be a lot more put together and I didn't have as many like obligations Like I stream a lot I do still to make YouTube videos separately and then the pod didn't you have a job and college? Yeah, you're saying that that was less time somehow commitment than what you're doing now I've got multitask brain now where it's like it's hard for me just to do one thing I like typically if I'm watching TV. I also have my phone in my tablet I'm like playing a mobile game looking through like Twitter or something and also watching stuff I thought you didn't browse Twitter. My brain is very not do I do every now and then. I've also got like all the Discord groups I'm in.

I'll have ESPN app up. Good lord. That's a lot to do at once. I've heard that's not great for your- Yeah, I'm pretty evidence of that. I've become Swiss cheese brain. So what about cutting back? Yeah, which of those things do you wanna stop doing

or do less? All of it. I don't have more time for like playing basketball. I'm just like, I wanna live in life. I feel like you control that. Yeah, there's really nothing stopping you. I've got a really terrible boss who doesn't let me I mean, are you calling us your boss? Me. I'm putting off my ability to do Alright, you want to do an exercise? Act like I'm your boss You tell me all of your grievances about how I'm wronging you and what you want me to change as your boss I'm gonna need to get back you want me to change as your boss.

I'm gonna need to get back to you on that because I don't remember. What? Well, you just said it. He just said it, all of it. He said all of his grievances just now. Okay, here's the thing. I'm a people pleaser, so I overdo it

because I'm always like, someone's like, hey, you wanna do this thing? And I'm like, oh, I'm busy, but I could do that day. And I'm like, well, that was gonna be my day off this week, but I guess I just won't have a day off this week. And then notoriously, like other stuff in life comes up, you know, like family's like, hey, we're gonna go on a dinner. It's like, well, I guess we could join. You have a plumber, it's like, well that was gonna be my day off this week, but I guess I just won't have a day off this week. And then notoriously, like other stuff in life comes up, you know, like family's like, hey, we're going to go out to dinner.

It's like, well, I guess we could join. You have a plumber, it's like, oh, I guess we need to get our foster in place. They're showing up. My schedule just gets full and full and full. I have the best of intentions. Every week I go in, I'm like, okay, I'm gonna do a lot less this week.

Like, take this week for example. Yesterday I didn't stream till eight o'clock. Wow. I've got the day to kind of do whatever, 5.30 in the afternoon, I'm like, man, I kind of feel like playing some Diablo 4. If a new season came out, I'm giving it a try again. I could just stream it, and so I went live at six

instead of eight, and just worked an extra two hours, which I enjoy doing, but it's still two hours away from doing other things I could be doing. My video game addiction is controlling my life. I mean, I know about that with the feeling that you always have to do something. I don't really have a recipe to fix it but at the same time you know we do have the power to just make our own schedules and you know the obligations that we feel pressured upon us can be insurmountable sometimes but at the very least the relaxation like making

it more profound or or focused, you know, it's kind of weird. You kind of got a focus to relax properly Yeah, as opposed to it's an activity Yeah You don't relax by doing nothing you relax by planning to relax and then doing things that are relaxing Yeah, I keep with immense amounts of guilt not externally internally Whenever I like turn someone down for something and then like I end up doing nothing other than relaxing I'm like, I guess I could have joined for that

cause like here I am just sitting like hanging out watching TV or on the porch or something. This a hundred percent won't help you cause I know this is not the issue but you always say you're a people pleaser. You're people. Yeah, but- When do you get pleased by your people pleasing?

So I genuinely do have fun with what I do. It just becomes too much. It's easier said than done because it's like, what do I cut out, who do I say no to? Take our friend Ryan, for example. I'm not game with Ryan in like two or three weeks. And like every day whenever I have some free moments I'm like, I should really ping Ryan to do something. Because like I haven't talked to him in like two or three weeks. But my schedule's still been full because I've been playing games with other people or streaming with other people, recording whatever. But like in the back of my mind, whenever I do put something off,

it's always like, really need to make up for that. And this is the way my brain works. I don't know, it's always been like that. Does this come off disingenuous with the three of us talking in a nice hot tub on a lovely summer day in the middle of a weekday? Even this, okay, so first time we've seen each other in a while, but the first thing we thought to do

is like, dude, let's record another episode. Our brains are just wired, at least my brain's wired. I should be making content of some kind. Because even when I was like, for the past obviously year, I've been super busy, and it gets to the point where I'm not even able to make videos, and when things get that busy, that's how my audience usually knows,

oh, there's literally no way. Because I've got to fight through other stuff anyway because I have ADHD and so just getting organized in the first place I'm kind of like you with like the scatterbrain so even my downtime is my hobbies nowadays I I everyone gets so tired of it but that's how busy I am is because my hobby becomes an accessory of my work the lenses aren't just because I'm crazy no it's because lenses are a natural extension of moviemaking and to understand the moviemaking process.

The hard drives were not just a random thing I was in. It was because it was about the work. And lately with the render farm idea that I've started to look into, again, that's just an association of work. None of them are actually things that I would randomly choose as a passion outside of it. It's all work focused. But it's still kind of fun, I think, I don't know.

Yeah, I mean it is, I enjoy it. It's just too much sometimes. Like Tuesdays for me, we get a call between 11 and 12 usually in the afternoon Eastern. We'll record podcasts from anywhere from like two to five hours depending on the day. And then it's like I'll take an hour break, have food, then I stream for like three to five hours,

and then I record for three to four hours after that. So I'm usually at my computer from like 11. 30 in the morning to like two or three in the morning Why just the day that works for people whenever I'm doing stuff? I mean I had a baby so I sort of have a thing that's not work Do you think there's a thing that you could pick even if it feels arbitrary? That's like a non work thing because for me it was my car And I don't do a lot of car stuff stuff but like once every couple weeks or once a month I spend like a good day or a good afternoon just in the garage rolling around swearing at my car doing whatever

do you feel like there's a thing that you would want to try and do that just to establish something where it's like because I don't even honestly it's not like I'm obsessed with the car or I'm gonna I don't want to go race or anything it's just a thing where it's like I like that enough that that's a good thing to establish where there's no way I can make that I mean, I'm not gonna make that into content Nobody's gonna watch me work on a car in a video because I don't know what I'm doing And so like there's no way I can be like well, I might as well stream this because that's such a trap Yeah, that's such a bad trap because you can play Diablo for fun. I do.

You're allowed to. I do. And I tweeted it because I want the game to succeed. So I tweeted about it and I was like, hey, rolling into season four, I've not played in a while, hoping it's a good time. So far, so good. And some people replied, they were like, man,

I'd love to see you play it again. And that was like the, well, I was doing it for fun. But if you want to see it, I guess I should. Because maybe if I stream it, more people want to play it again. And then it'll keep going. Maybe they'll make it good like three because three I thought finished in a great spot So like one they wanted to see it and two I've got that like other motivation of like well more people play it Don't keep working on it make it a good game

I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing to think of it that way it can be if if it becomes detrimental to actual Relaxing things you want to do, but I have a strange thing just recently that I realized where I think humans just kind of want to keep busy on something and feel satisfied like it's a puzzle. People like puzzles, that's why they like games. Because recently I was relaxing up in a cabin in the woods and there was a, you know, there's a fireplace right there. It had stormed really badly the night before,

so it was super wet. Everything was wet, very humid,, so it was super wet. Everything was wet. Very humid, all the wood was super damp, but I wanted to make a fire. And there was that fire starter, like, log stuff that I could have used. That's not fun. Exactly! That was cheating. In my mind, if I used that stuff, I was a quitter and I failed the challenge. So I took all of these really damp pieces of wood and I started like just puzzling how to get it to light and so from 8 a.m. to about noon I had been doing nothing but trying to

get this fire going and it was the best way I could have spent a morning. I had so much fun just bashing my head against this. I started like getting like tiny twigs I would go out and grab smaller and smaller twigs. And then eventually, I don't tell the Airbnb that I did this, but I took one of their knives and I started trying to shave really thin shavings of wood. And that worked because they were thin enough

that I could get a bunch of them together to start the sticks going, and then the sticks were able to actually start to dry out a log because I got I got these things to like light and it would the blog would like kind of start to char a little bit but only a little bit it wouldn't catch and it just wouldn't wouldn't catch but only over the course of a few hours did it all kind of accumulate to be dry enough that it actually got going but once I got it going I was like oh and I don't have a passion for fire I mean maybe humans all have a passion for fire.

Maybe that's like, you know, maybe that's a very core thing of humanity and like us evolving fire kind of like side long with. You don't have an extraordinary passion for fire. Exactly, right? I've been covering Wade's face this entire time with my hands, so. Oh, okay, I'm still here.

Hey, you're in that camera probably. Yeah, yeah, probably. But I mean, it was so nice. It was so nice and it's meaningless because we didn't need the fire to survive It's a cabin, but it had like air conditioning and heating, you know, we didn't need to do it, but it was something so interesting about the puzzling of it and the thinking about it and be like how can I get this freaking damp wood dry? Like trying it, you know, I Should have put it in the oven. I should have that would have really...

Man, our ancestors, whenever they had damp wood, they'd just put it in the oven. The Airbnb owner comes to their smoldering leftovers of their cabin. They find the log book with an entire distractible episode of points and they're like, Man, what the hell happened here? That particular episode looks like such a manifesto because it's a it's a bunch of Rectangles and a few of them are colored in and like they just have W and B and B parentheses S in there for self Just like it looks really psychotic and a bunch of lightning bolts that really really look alarmingly when I was looking at I'm thinking about they look like the Nazi double s symbol

It's not great like what's going on there, but I hope I hope that people understand. It's lightning bolts. Okay It's about a shotgun, but you know it's is there like a detailed drawing of the shotgun and excel no no no no no Did you cut pictures out of magazines to no? So anyway fire yeah, maybe you should start firing. Okay, so our fireplace is a gas fireplace, but we do have a fire, like a little fire pit area. And my family got us one of those, I think they're called Solo Stove,

where it's like the smokeless fire pit for our deck. So I do want to set that up and like start using it. I just need to go out and clean off some of the deck cushions and stuff. We bought these like nice covers for our patio furniture. And then like, you know me they were in the box So like this winter I was like man, I really should cover them. But like what do you do when the covers are in a box? What what do you do?

I put them in the garage in the box That's so good for you man, that's so good for you. Hey, I am me it's weird I used to be very hands-on like my grandpa whenever I was growing up was up, was very much like, hey, we're gonna go change this tire. We're gonna go change brakes. We're gonna work on the engine of this car. We're gonna go do this. And like everything he did, it was like we had to do it the hard way.

And I think I just, I don't know, instead of adopting that, I went the opposite way. I was like, but what if I do nothing? I used to be very good at things. Like my mom had me replace her kitchen faucet. I replaced like all the light fixtures and fans and stuff. You're allowed to do that still. I know I could, but like, ugh, effort.

My mom didn't ask me to do it, so I don't have to. See, the thing is, I think you actually like effort, because you put a lot of effort into what you do. I do, but it's like, I don't put a lot of effort into what I'm doing, I just do a lot of things. I spend effort spending my time. I don't put effort into making one good thing, it's like a whole bunch of crap.

Damn. Most of what we do is meaningless. Me building out of fire didn't mean anything, it was just very satisfying. In the grand scheme of things, all the effort I put into a movie, it's really not meaningful. Maybe, hopefully, it could inspire someone

to go make something, but at the end of the day, it's like most of what we do isn't gonna amount to anything. No, that's fair, and I wouldn't say I'm unhappy. It's not like I'm miserable doing what I do. I'm pretty happy. It's just I know that there are things I used to do or could do that's fair, and I wouldn't say I'm unhappy. It's not like I'm miserable doing what I do. I'm pretty happy. It's just I know that there are things I used to do or could do or should do that I still don't. We've had a light bulb out in the garage.

I literally have the bulb. I would've just gone and replaced it, but I don't think about it until I'm leaving the house at night, and some manager replaced it. I get back completely out of my mind. Do you feel like there's stuff you want to do? I mean, so right now, I've been telling, so I don't know if this is healthy or not,

but I've been eating one meal a day. I eat one big meal a day. Hell yeah. Omed. Omed. When I was at my healthiest, I was probably around 205 pounds and I'm up to like 254 right now.

That's not how Omed works. That's not how it works. Omed. You go down on Omed. I think he's leading up to starting Omed. Oh, right, okay. So I've just started, yeah. So I was going two big meals a day,

then I was snacking, doing like sugary stuff. Starting about three days ago, I was like, I'm gonna do like one big meal a day, eat whatever I want, try to make sure I get some fruits and vegetables in there, but ultimately like, if I want a steak, I'll have a steak, if I want chicken, I'll have chicken, whatever, and I'm trying to get more exercise into, so like my nephews, that are now like in their early 20s, have been coming over on like Mondays, we've been playing basketball. Mm-hmm. It's kind of like, okay, I'm gonna cut back on eating a bit. I'm gonna have my one meal I'm gonna try to get more activity and like more basketball stuff like that And now that ginger's like recovered her weights down. She actually doesn't mind going on walks as much So it's like I could take the dogs and some walks

There's some like parks and stuff we can drive to around so it's kind of like I want to go out and be a bit More active. I just have to get away from some of the gaming addiction because like whenever I have any free time It's like dude, that's Diablo time. That's this time. I need to read like focus my mind into oh, okay I can go to the gym. I can go to the park. I can go play basketball I can do that kind of stuff I just need to reorient my mind to go out and be do physical activity rather than just sit around I've always been kind of overweight since I stopped playing football in high school So it's like always been an issue, but it's surprisingly hard when everything we do revolves around the computer

Yeah, and like a desk or a couch with a laptop or something to remember like oh, yeah I could just go out. I just go for a walk It's not like I have to go to the gym and do the hardest workout I've ever done, but it's either it's either like I'm going to the gym And I'm doing the program or I'm like ass fucking if I'm not gonna go to the gym I think that's that's where the trick is because with the fire that's a one and done thing. You build the fire and you're done. I win. I did it. And that's the problem with games. You win the round and or you get the next thing

and you're like there's really distinct landmarks of progress that happen. But in all the other boring shit there's none of that. Like yeah you have a goal at the end of it and you do this and you you lose x amount of weight or you get can lift X amount of pounds and some people can think of it that way most of the time what Me and a lot of people like me crave is that instant satisfaction of boom I did it I crested the toughest mountain you put it like a huge challenge in front of me, and I'm just like fuck Yeah, let me add it, but doing that every day is a hard part. That's the impossible task Yeah Like, fuck yeah, let me at it. But doing that every day is a hard part. That's the impossible task. Yeah, games also have changed. Like when we were growing up, Sega Genesis games,

like there was a start, there was an end. And there wasn't like, even earlier consoles, like there wasn't always a save feature. So it's like, you start playing a game like Frogger on Atari and you turn it off, it's like you have to start over again. How old are you? We're not that old.

Okay, well I had one Atari, or I had it in television, I guess, my grandparents had it in television. What the fuck is that? In television? Okay, well I know what Atari, or I had Intellivision, I guess, my grandparents had Intellivision. What the fuck is that? Intellivision? Okay, well I know what Intellivision is, but I didn't have one. My grandparents had one, so I... What is the Intellivision?

It's a very, you don't know, isn't it? No. Was it Coleco Intellivision? I think something like that. I've been spending 20 years. What words are you saying? It's one of those very, it was a competitor with like the early Atari consoles.

Intellivision was an early one. It had a really goofy controller goofy controller wasn't in television the one where the controller had like it looks Like a big thick remote and there's a place where you slide Yeah, you slide a piece of like plastic over this number pad and that piece of plastic would have the controls for that game. Oh Okay, so like if you're always playing like a baseball game, I would slide it in it's like, okay This is to hit this is to run whatever if I was playing there's like a baseball game, I would slide it in. It's like, okay, this is to hit, this is to run, whatever. If I was playing, there's like a Dungeons and Dragons game where you'd like go to like different mountains and go and like fight rats and dragons and stuff.

And that one had its own like control pad, but the way you do is you hold your controller, which is wired to the console. You slip out your old plastic for every game you were playing. You put in the Dungeons and Dragons one. And then it's like, okay, these are the buttons. Yeah. I mean, no, I mean, ColecoVision is not of our childhood.

It is of like almost our parent, oh no. My dad was probably like in his 20s, 30s when that came out. In my mind, like I grew up with that kind of thing and I had the Sega too, but like even Sega, like if you played The Lion King on Sega, there was no save feature as far as I know. You play, you either beat Scar or else you start over the next time you turn it on.

Dude, I only ever played The Lion King on a Sega when my dad would take me to the grocery store and they used to have the kids area where you could drop your kids off at the front of the store and then go shop in peace. They still got that at Walmart somewhere. They still do? Yeah they still do. They have it at IKEA. It's like crazy at IKEA but it used to I used to just go in there and the the like girl who worked would just be like Oh, you want to play the Sega don't you yeah turn it on? Turn on the Lion King, but even whenever games had saves It's like games still had a starting and an ending point whereas

I don't know if wow was the first one but like MMOs were like one of the earlier things that met me were like okay. This is live service We're gonna keep adding stuff so you can keep doing stuff and playing I'm Diablo 2 I guess to some extent did that that That was kind of a blizzard thing. Everquest was the first one I think. For me it was shooters. Yeah. The moment I could play, I played the first Call of Duty online.

The first time I ever did that I was like, oh. The original Black Ops or Modern Warfare 2 was one of those were the first ones I ever played online Call of Duty which was probably what mid-2000s? But you remember I played COD 4 in our dorm. You were trying to sleep four feet away. I was sitting playing COD 4 on the little TV in our dorm room. Somehow I don't ever remember that bothering me. Oh, I remember something I got to bring up from our college days that Amy was wondering if you remembered this. When I was playing World of Warcraft back then, do you remember how I

downloaded this bot that would play my character for me? Yeah. And there was an alarm that would go off if it suspected like I was a GM was watching me or something catastrophic. Do you remember ever at like midnight or 2 a.m. Just a giant alarm going BLEEP BLEEP BLEEP BLEEP Okay, so you do- I found that sound. Yeah. and for several years after we lived together that was my wakeup set I found that and put it on every every phone that I had I put it on as like a little What not mp3? What were they mini file? Oh? Yeah? Yeah? Like you know that sound haunted my dreams for a long time I remember waking up like the bombs were dropping like it was nuclear apocalypse

I really thought like I would go to jail if if So when it went off and I get to my computer And my character was running into a rock like it was like straight up running in a rock and it was like oh That's fine, and it didn't even do it well. It died half of the time. It was like, botting back then was just abysmally bad. So not worth it. That was got AI.

Yeah, real live AI. Have you ever heard of the ship of Theseus? Ah man, people are craving the old ads. We used to do whole sessions, like extended sessions of just bullshitting ads. We had a minute ofitting and we had a And we would spend half an hour on it We'd spend longer than the recording session for the episode on as yeah Yeah, and for those who are wondering we want to get back to there. We really do

Yeah, yeah I Did not think that we peeked when we did that meteor fall. It's like, dude, we're going to do so many things like this. Dude, people still are like, god, that meteor adds. I thought that was like, even when we were recording, I was like, ah, we've had better bits in this. Yeah, no, I remember thinking like,

oh, that's a little forced. Yeah. That's okay. It works. It's a great through thread, but like, I was like, oh, we're going to think of such better scenarios. Yeah, yeah, I was like- The one where you were the spy in the vent.

Yeah. I remember when we did that, I mean, you didn't have the effect on your voice because the editors did that But even when we recorded that I was kind of like should we do a backup? Like that's kind of funny, but also it's really strained one of the companies we were with I don't know if it was when the Spotify if it was before whatever But I remember them saying like yeah We were looking and like you're the only podcast we know of where people go back to listen to the ads. Like no one else does that.

They don't skip your ads and they go back and listen to them again. I do think that we know our audience and they enjoy our stupidity. There was that the video that Jenny Nicholson made. Oh yeah, the five hour Disney failure of the Disney Star Cruiser Hotel. I'm aware of it, I've not seen it.

It's a great video, and it's a great breakdown, but it talks about it because Disney does this too. Where they like, everything seems disingenuous because they force all of their partners to speak in terms that no one would ever talk. They go like, have you been to Star Wars Galactic Adventure Star Tours? I can't wait to go on Star Wars Galactic Adventure Star Tours or whatever it is. And it's like no one would ever talk about it. They call it Star Wars Land. I did think that was really funny. The clips that she put together of the like podcast

that they have where it's so tightly scripted, it's like tough to watch. And you can even see on their faces, they're like, yeah, I was walking around through Star Wars Galaxy's Edge, and I went to, and they're just like, they don't believe it. Like, the audience isn't stupid. They know what's going on.

They know what the deal is. We get money, we hawk products. All we wanna do is make it worth their time. Well, there are some marketing teams out there that do it well, because there's commercials, like from when I'm growing up, that I I still remember like the NutriGrain commercial like NutriGrain. Let's be honest.

There's no nutrition in that bar. It's a fancily hidden candy bar. But I still remember the oh yeah I feel great. I don't even know if that's NutriGrain but I still think I can quote that whole commercial because it was so memorable. I'm not even saying it's good like Starburst. Berries and cream. Berries and cream. Like a lot of that had its own resurgence. I'm not even saying it's good. Like Starburst, Berry's and cream, Berry's and cream.

Like a lot of that had its own resurgence. I still know the Mentos jingle. What is it? I don't even know it. You don't know the Mentos? So the 90s Mentos commercials. The Mentos game. The Mentos.

Do, do, do, ah. Yeah. It was always like some weird circumstance people were getting into. I don't know the words, but the song. Doesn't matter what comes fresh was better with life. With Mentos fresh and full of love like I don't get Oh, I don't know when I'm gonna get an annuity, but I know that JD Wentworth has got my back

It's your money use it when you need a 7 7 cash now. I know that And when I get an annuity when I I don't even know what an annuity is but when I form of settlement he always reminded me of the Lawyer from Law and Order the way like he looked I always thought of like McCoy's at his name I don't remember a commercial where he was in it is he still alive? I always remember the ones with the people singing on the bus and the oh yeah oh yeah it would be a hell of a follow-up for them. Commercials explaining what annuities are to people. That would be so fucking funny. It's just like, hi, we're JG Wentworth.

We've talked a lot about how it's your money and you should have it now. But we realize you might not know what an annuity is or how to get one. Then it's just like an info-message. Is it JG Wentworth? JG Wentworth. I thought it was JD Wentworth.

Oh no. JG Wentworth. Yeah, JG. I was JD Wentworth. You would have found him. Yeah, you probably would have found him.G. Wentworth. I thought it was J.D. Wentworth. Oh no. J.D. Wentworth. Yeah, J.G. I was J.D. Wentworth. You would have found him. Yeah, you probably would have. It's good enough. I don't know who thinks. Like if, okay, if Intel came back around to clear, right? He's beating you. He wants to talk about nerd stuff. I do want to talk about nerd. You want to talk about nerd stuff? I'm a hot tub dude. Look. We're talking about capitalism here. There's something crazy with AMD's resurgence. It it's crazy because it's applies for gamers because Ryzen Processors I knew I wish I'd have bought like stock or something when I was out because AMD stock was like super low There's a whole Nvidia thing going on

But it was like I when I heard about Ryzen AMD stuff was like a two bucks and now it's at like 190 dollars and I'm like oh fuck ah man But all that aside, their processors are actually really good, like the Threadripper for work stuff, like what I do with some visual effects and video editing, is super good. Intel doesn't even have a product that can compare. Like, it's crazy what they're doing,

and I like Intel, what they're doing, but it's like, it's a company, it's a company. You make them fight, that's good for us. That's good for the people buying the shit. And for the best car insurance rates in town, call 1-800-GENERAL-NOW. Plus Shaq likes the General. Oh wow well if he likes it and he likes Icy Hot. I prefer Ceylon Pass. Ceylon Pass? No Ceylon Pass. All I know is the best part of waking up is when there's Folgers in my cup. You know and honestly like with I haven't drank Folgers in a

long time but I still my dad always did Folgers when he opened the giant tub You know the worst way you could have coffee in a tub that's gonna last a year But when he cracked it open like the smell of coffee I didn't drink when I was a kid but the smell of it that Man as a kid I could have taken another bath because I loved the smell of coffee and cigarettes like I was I was I was Like on the threshold of coffee and cigarettes. Like I was like on the threshold of a different road for me, but you know. I will say like not brewed coffee,

but the Coffee Ground Folgers coffee cans. Like that would be a nostalgic coffee smell for me because the coffee cans, after they were emptied, my family hung onto them. They used some for like storing grease, whatever else. Dude, those cans were the best. Yeah.

But I used them, I used to love the outdoors. Like I was always outside trying to catch frogs and turtles and bugs and stuff. Those Folgers cans, I cannot tell you how many times I got to catch a creature, put it in a Folgers can for an hour, poke a bunch of holes in the lid to keep it in there, and then peer in there, try to give it some food,

and then let it go, whatever. But those were way savior. There's probably still rusty Folgers tins in my parents' garage holding nails and stuff and sitting on a shelf somewhere. Actually having products with containers that you could reuse, that is kind of less of a thing now. Dude, before everyone had, you could just buy batteries

to recharge your electronics, that everywhere. My buddy actually found this dude who was making home printed PCBs where you could take a specific Altoids tin. It wasn't the big one, it was the Altoids mini tin. You could hot glue this PCB in and cut a hole in the side and then put two double A's in it. And it was a battery, it was a mobile battery

where you could plug a USB into, the PCB would charge it from double A's and you could get like rechargeable double A's and just charge them at home Or you could just pop new ones in I had that way before I ever had like a self-contained You know lithium ion or charging battery. He just it was hot glued and cut with tin snips and it was an altoids tin I still have it. It's just I don't use it because I double A's are not as practical, but it lasted forever I shouldn't mention it because it's because this leads to a lot of fires.

Every Ryobi Day's promotion, which is coming up nowadays, I gotta check in on that, not sponsored, but will be if you pay me money. Depending on what you say next. Yeah, we'll see. So there is, the 3D printing community has opened up so many doors because it's exactly what you're talking about.

But with Ryobi Valley specifically, the batteries are so cheap that you can take them, don't do this, crack them open, harvest the battery cell, but don't. And then there are so many 3D printable designs where you can have battery configurations for powering anything. You can convert batteries from one configuration

to another with Home Depot supplies. You can have those batteries, you can assemble those batteries into a house sized Backup generator and we talked about this a little bit on the podcast because I was just scratching the surface of it You can do so much with the shit the the the batteries are a loss leader so that they can sell their their tools, right? Man, there's so much the DIY community is exploding literally Because of 3D printing and they have things they need. Who's that YouTube guy who always like burns himself and lights things on fire with a lighter? Right, right. The Indian guy.

Yeah, what is his name? Oh crap. He just did a bunch of stuff with Linus because they did like an upgrade, do a setup. Yeah. I love our compulsions when the boat gets near, we must reach out and grab it. I've noticed it the whole time, I it and I know it's the boat episode that's true oh shit we got to come up with rules I don't know was there any rules you guys been dying to implement or get rid of who I have an idea this is crazy right okay but hear me out rules no no it's it's it's regarding the

company that is distractable what if we take distractible public oh right okay we create shares of it and we sell it on the stock market. I think that's how it works. Yeah basically it's called an IPO. Yes. So if someone buys more of Distractable than we have is just their podcast? We don't let that happen. We don't sell that much. We sell a set amount and we own 51% of the market. So then, then the listeners are incentivized for us to do more ads, right? Mmm. This has never gone bad anywhere in the history of anything.

No, I feel this is exclusively a good thing. Only a good thing. Then, all the people who own the company definitely want to listen, they want to support us, and they want us to succeed, and also never do anything that doesn't make money. All in favor? I feel like I'm torn between that and starting Distract a Coin. so never do anything that doesn't make money. All in favor? I feel like I'm torn between that and starting Distract a Coin, because I feel like we really have a lot

to offer the crypto space as well. You're right, and they're about to go to the moon. Everybody get involved, because this is gonna be huge. It's gonna be, it could be huge. It's gonna be huge. We're involved. I know that like, FaZe went public public right? What is that? It's the

Okay, gaming they did something and then it didn't they were public and then their stock price slowly died until they went on public They were worth nothing now. Whatever it video is doing we need to do that right? They're doing so well. They're about to do a stock split or something. Yeah, so their stock price is so high They're about to do some stuff as long as I can still talk about like boobs and stuff Whatever. Yeah, it'll be like the Green Bay Packers of podcasts. Are they a public NFL team? Oh, yeah Do you not know that? No, I didn't know that's the thing that Green Bay Packers are the only Prosports team that I know of and in America and maybe in the world But probably not where they sell shares and so the Packers are actually, I don't know if it's primarily, but they're owned

in part by the fans. You buy it, you can buy a share of the Green Bay Packers so you're personally invested in the team. Huh. Oh, that's nice. They're not like publicly traded on a stock market or something. Oh, I see. They are, because you don't actually have to do that to sell stock Oh, but privately selling stock is I don't know how that's regulated

And it's not as popular because you want to be listed on you know So everyone can buy buy buy and sell so I never sell diamond hands only only diamond hands can buy distractible Okay, if we make a rule right now and they put in the Constitution that you can't Binding rule in our definitely legally binding Constitution Is a distractible share how many shares do we have? There's three of us so more than that. Well, it's worth whatever people pay for it Yeah, so if we sell like one one millionth of the company that is distractible and someone pays all $1,000 we're a trillion dollar cup. We're a billion. I can do math. We're a billion dollar company

That help us does that mean we're just kind of like Truman show we're sitting in the hot tub We're like so dude. I gotta tell you I gotta tell you brought to you by Cisco the other day I gotta tell you, I brought to you by Cisco the other day. Oh, Truman, why don't you just have some Ovaltine? Delicious chocolatey Ovaltine. And he would just sit there like. You know, it's funny you mentioned that word. Mark, why would you text me about Ovaltine? Why did I text you about Ovaltine?

When was this? Like a week or two ago. I was streaming, I think. I was doing something and I was like busy and Mark was just like, let me tell you about Ovaltine or something, I was like busy and Mark was just like let me tell you about Ovaltine or something I was like why what do you know what I text you? I don't even remember I don't know whatever so it's funny whenever I hear from you. I'm like, oh no either something's horribly wrong or it's a bit I'm on I'm making content

Here from Mark. So I texted him. This is May 20th at 619 ppm, Hey, do you like Ovaltine? I decay what it even is, LOL. Ha ha. And I said, Ha ha, yeah, come on man. When did you imbibe your first teen? And he said, lol what? I still know what Ovaltine is. What happened Mark? Did you have a stroke?

No. Why did you ask him about Ovaltine? I asked him when he imbibed his first teen. Okay, cause me and Tyler were talking. We were talking about how maybe you're older than you we we think you are and so I used it as a Me I used it as a test because Ovaltine was in like the Christmas story And I didn't even know if it was still thing and I was wondering if you had drank Ovaltine It would show your age, but you didn't know it so I didn't continue with it

So you must be a lie at first we said oval to those is an ovary product Is that a family ovary product? It's all OVA Got me something for your ovaries or your mouth. Why do I think mouth? I think my cell the V has like maybe it's supposed to be an arm. It's oral teen Well, we got to come up with one rule before it's over or we got to change your modifier of all the other rules That's the rule. All of them? Which ones do you like? Which ones do you not like?

I like the Skorky, man. I think it's fun. Skorky'd be good. I want more wheel. I totally forgot about the wheel. You want more wheel? The wheel was so fun! The wheel was terrifying.

It almost got you! I know! It almost sent you to the shadow realm! You got wheels and... I think that we may not have put it in as a rule, but I think every time the wheel is spun, we should add a percentage. No, I think that ever we we may not have put it in as a rule But I think every time the wheel is spun we should add a percentage Yeah, every time the wheel is spun we add a percent well So we have to add two because you have to take away from the two others, right?

You have to add two percent you add two percent to the good point Or you could just have it where if you challenge and you lose you have to spin the wheel if you challenge and you win The person you challenge has to spin the wheel. If you challenge and you win, the person you challenge has to spin the wheel. That's fair. That way you don't have to force the challenge. That would get more work. That would get more work. You're just going to do it willy-nilly.

Exactly. I would say no more wild card. What if we throw in a rule to where, if you want to challenge the outcome of an episode, you can invoke the wheel rule, but the wheel is not always the same. You can invoke the wheel, but the host gets to make the wheel and spin the wheel.

Wait, two- There has to be a set percent for that, right? Yeah. Because if you're challenging, you want a fair show. Yeah, it's not fully fleshed out, but like if you challenge, it's like you get a 10% chance that you just win this episode, but then the host gets to fill the rest of the wheel.

The host that you challenged? Yeah, so I'm assuming this is like, I'm hosting an episode, we've come to the end and I'm like, and Mark is the winner, because he has this much, and you can just be like, wheel, I challenge the outcome, wheel. And so you get some set amount of chance of the, the win will be taken from Mark and given to you, the winner will be switched, but I get to fill in all of the rest of the- Is this replacing the red flag? No, I was just adding this as more of like a wild card,

more wheel action, but it's a little more loosey goosey. Okay, well, what if we do this, because it's been difficult to keep up with the polls and the red flags winning. What if they win, they get like an UNO reverse wheel kind of deal, where they can then have a usable item because they did, the audience was on their side, so the audience gifted them Hunger Games style.

Yeah. You get. You get sponsors. Maybe that's what we need. We need rich audience members to fund. We have things flying with drones while we're doing the episode. Yes, yes, yes, yes. What if audience, can you build us a Hunger Games style

arena to do the podcast? So this this ties into this idea that I had this really stupid idea that had well I maybe it's not my idea It's like every every citizen of the United States of America gets one of these per year Where they get a I'm in an emergency clause for their car and they get a wee woo So you get one wee woo year where you get to put a thing on your roof and you get all the privileges of a normal Like police car ambulance you get one a year and so you use your wee woo when you really really need it You can't gift it to anybody else. That's my wee woo a lot. But what if all the audience members have one?

That would be too much. I just don't want the I don't want the rules to get to the way of like us just having our Conversational podcast episodes and our normal games. That's something I don't want the rules to get in the way of us just having our conversational podcast episodes in our normal games. That's something I don't want to interfere with. Yeah, well that's what I was going for is keeping it simple too. I was just trying to add more wheels without really adding any complexity to it. There would have to be a limit on the number of times, because then you would potentially just always challenge the outcome. Unless the host just made the wheel really horrific. I think the wheel is horrific as it is because it incrementally gets Funny that's that's definitely that's in the constant. I know what happened. You have to for sure

Yeah, one-man show written by the others as a bonus like a fully scripted thing. Yeah, we can be scripted You could put in improvise this part. Yes Yeah, but with direction and now Wade will improvise a song about his pants and and okay It will be three minutes, and he will have to hum it to the tune I don't want to be on either end of the Bad outcome for the wheel punishes everyone it just punishes one person a little bit more. Yeah Yeah, it's bad for all of us. Yeah I wanted to I wanted to go off at least once before this podcast

Inevitably crashes and burns because one of us does something terrible or cuz Wade and I can't stand each other anymore Let's finally talk about it in the open. Yes, exactly disagree about judge Judy once and now I don't know that I can stand you Do you even know her full name Judith Steinbeck? That's wow Judith Steiner not no, that's worse judge juice Stoppingheimer. Now do you get why I didn't give you the point? Do you get why I sided with him? No, you did side with me.

You ended up giving him the point, but the thing was it didn't matter. It didn't matter, yeah. You won either way, so it really was pointless. We've got the adding 2% to the danger of the wheel. That's a good rule. Yeah, it's fine. I think the random every episode could have a wheel

kind of interferes with the flag. We already have a system for that. That's fun. I think the random every episode could have a wheel kind of interferes with the flag We already have a system for that. That's true I think that we should invoke our world government president thing where we randomly select one of the audience members we send them a phone a burner phone and When we have a dispute we call them and they have to answer and settle our dispute right then in there And when the calls over it blows up. How are you rigging that? Yeah the only part of that I don't like is I'm not sure how to rig a phone to blow up like that.

That sounds tough. I'm sure we can figure that out. Can we just pour milk on it or something? Alright, okay never mind. What if we... No I really like that. Is there a tool that exists? I mean we could kind of do this with Discord where it's like we have a dispute and we just put the call out and whoever shows up first hop on a call, present our sides, they are the judge and the executioner, we present our sides, they make a decision and then that's they've done their duty to the to the

podcast. And then they're banned from listening forever. Yeah then they're banned from the Discord, we block them on social media, yeah anything we can do to prevent them from listening, they're done now. You guys lost me, everything that took Safar's. For how fun I think this idea actually is, it would be doable, I think. We would just need to make,

like you could make a Discord channel and just put out a call and be like, hey, whoever's around, we gotta dispute, and then just pick someone. And the reason we can't just talk is because you couldn't let it go about Judge Judy. We were trying to talk through. We need an arbiter here. We need an arbiter. I'll be the arbiter I know when I'm being treated fairly, but you have to blow up afterwards. He would be banned. Well, actually I'll blow

Oh, yeah. No, I see what you're saying. That's the way to settle the dispute permanently I settle the dispute that I'm gone as long as I get to stay in the shareholders I mean your estate would I guess theoretically what if we put on the wheel one percent chance that the person is banned forever from the That would be devastated that would be devastating What if what if then they have to create a sister podcast on their own that exists alongside? focusable reach a certain number of listens or something before they're invited Focusable reach a certain number of listens or something before they're invited Like panishing in the woods you have to do it yourself. You have to get your own podcast up to a hundred thousand listeners concurrent

I love exile god. That's really funny. Oh, man. How's the podcast go with just two of us? Did you guys I mean we would just have to make do and it's gone. Is that fair? You volunteered to leave that's not blow up. Maybe I wear some of that gel I cover myself in firecrackers or something that should do it. Yeah, the gel is good for explosions. It's not just fire Yeah, I'm bald. It's not my hair will catch on fire. You get a little beard. I do that's not hair. That's fur Thank you. How about you have to start a separate podcast that's all about stock picks since we're here. Give us your stock pick. What stock should people out there invest right now? Oh man, dude people like trees.

You know apply some trees. You can treemy.com. You know what I've heard is really hot right now? Eventbrite. People are really coming back around on Eventbrite. I don't know what that is. Is that the thing where you stuck this light right? It's an eVite service. Ooh.

All right, so we need more official. This is the boat episode. This is the biannual boat episode. You can remove a rule. Where do you want to remove a rule? I really like exile. Exile's very fun. Whoever does the challenge

There's a 1% chance that you get exiled and you have to like start a YouTube channel or podcast something and reach a certain Milestone before you're invited back to the show It could be more broad you have to start a social media account or a YouTube channel or a tick tock or something and reach a certain Milestone and it could be something where the viewers have to, enough viewers would easily find it. And you know, it's like, you have to get a thousand views, which is not to mock anyone who's trying to make it. That's a lot of views, but we have enough listeners,

I feel like they would make that happen, right? They would be like, we have to find it so Wade can come back to the podcast. But then you have to make content on there, right? In order to get the thing. And there's always me that's banished in these scenarios. You put it out there I'm just playing along I don't know it could be me I'm the one who has bad luck with things like spinning wheels and things yeah. I like this way this boat came to point at me too. There needs to be

due process right I feel like for something is this profound needs to be some due process. You're losing me all this effort. I think we have a biannual fart joke, you have to tell, that's my rule. I'm not opposed to that. No, that's pretty good. Every boat episode, one of us has to tell a fart joke. All in favor? Aye.

Okay, all right, cool. That's a mortal act. Let's officialize the, every wheel spin, 2% gets added to the bad thing? Yeah. Aye, okay, all right. Those two things definitely added. I think maybe we should not get too ahead of ourselves,

because we do have to do this biannually. Yeah, that's true. Maybe we should pick the exile thing, or maybe the listener as judge thing, and go with one of those as like an added twist. I like the listener as judge thing. I like that too, I think that's funny. And then they go in exile,

and they cannot return until they get certain And this will be great because we'll make a closet well like we'll get 50% ownership Sign this document half of whatever you make what's your job half of it's ours God think of how far we could go if we can commit fraud you can just not legally all right So how many per quarter for the judge audience? You know what? I want this to happen a lot. No more than once an episode. It can't be two episodes in a row. That's good.

So there has to at least be a one episode gap. Yeah. So if we do a case of something unfair, we better have a red flag after something. Yeah, that's when you throw the other means. This is for smaller occurrences where it's like the judge duty thing, where I'm willing to arbitrate, but there seems to be no one that's willing to give ground.

It's not fair if one of us tries to arbitrate between the other people. Exactly. Cause we all have our biases against Wade. I'm biased, yeah. I mean, our viewers probably will have biases too. That's okay, but because they're all people of integrity. That's not, absolutely. They know who they are and what they're willing to do.

And this will prevent anyone, because what we really want to prevent is anyone Spiraling into a dictatorship and starting down a path Why are you missing that right now specifically because we're talking about making a rule about it Yeah, we're making a rule to prevent that you're here because you're on the show. Yeah, but I was about to do that Well don't write this moment. No like next time I get the host I was gonna like take over This moment no like next time I get the host I was gonna like take over. That's right, right Coincidental I feel like we need a person to come in and rule on that. Oh, we haven't passed it into law Yeah, and passing on the law. Okay all in favor of Once but not every not to can't be so in a row. Yeah

Non-consecutive audience judge blowing up the phone thing It will work out exactly how we're gonna figure out how to do that, but it'll probably involve some kind of social media. And some kind of execution method. Yeah. Because we also have to make sure it gets picked up. I don't know if our program would pick up a call around like another program or not. We can work it out. I don't know if you remember, we talked to German Jesus. That's true. We did have our first guest was Mark's lens retriever. So belittling, man. Why you gotta belittle?

No, the person's fine. It was Why you gotta belittle the person's fine It was like the certain person fine just everything he stands for You getting the first guest to be someone who was running an errand for you is kind of like that's what it took to have a guest Oh god, I think that was a sign yeah, you guys are tipping things against me That's what the sign look I don't feel like it's against you. If anything, this is great for you. Everything's against me. Have you not learned that my whining and complaining means everything's against me? We're talking about bringing the people into the show. Oh, that's what I thought about that.

Who would love you and will defend you even when it doesn't make sense and they acknowledge it. Okay, rule. Whoever we bring in has to side with me. I'll see that that kind of defeat, I mean... Whoever we bring in has to do one of the ad reads. Whoever we bring in has to pay us and sponsor Yeah, I like that. You gotta be rich to be unbiased. All right all in favor I guess up to all the rich stuff I get oh we I did that fuck Anything that was for comedy value alone not doesn't count boy if it's like comedy value

But unless have your bank statements ready just in case we call you okay? We done making can we get rid of a bunch of rules now? What rule do you want? That's all the time we have well make a pocket constitution and a pocket bill of rights and you'll have all of the What we'll do is we'll send it to you for free, buddy It's gonna have extra pages in the back so people can update their constitution But when you make an amendment to the Constitution in your pocket Constitution You have to date it sign it every change and if you are removing a rule of rule gets removed You have to remove it with red ink pen sign and date in red ink red ink is specific for

Requirements. Yes, Mark's favorite color is red. It's like he doesn't even know me. This was nice though Well, most of it let me talk about rules Well, if you remembered any of the rules, you could remove them. Anyone who's still with me on the subreddit, tell us about how much you hate rules. I think we just need to use, like you do with toddlers, we need to use like code words. Okay. We shouldn't bring up the rules of the show in front of him. Okay, all right. But we can talk, we should invent a little code language and then we can discuss what's happening. And he won't have, because he only gets worked up when we talk about the rules. That's true.

Yeah that's true. Yeah even if a rule is in his favor he doesn't like it. Yeah it's more to think about I have to remember I just want to hang out with my friends and chat. What we'll do is when there's people that get on we'll tell them they're distant relatives and he won't know the difference. Yeah. We found your third cousin thrice removed or more. You found Splenna? Yeah here's Splenna right now. Unable to deliver, uh oh. Do you like some Toezy touching? Thanks man, I heard some backup batteries.

Cause for my solar, cause my house has solar, but I had the sneaking suspicion that it wasn't working. I got confirmation that it wasn't working because my power bill. Oh yeah, we talked about that. You were like, I told you when I was paying for electricity, you're like, I don't think it's working Did I tell you what my variable was no 800 a month

What are you running no I it's because I put in the server the shortest server That's what's really doing it because the storage service by itself It's like three computers running 24 7 all like over a thousand watt computers running 24-7, all like over a thousand watt computers running 24-7. It's like if you had your microwave going, if you had three microwaves going constantly, because I have a computer that I run all the time and that is bad enough but you guys know about that. Yeah. But putting in a server in your house is unbelievable. So I had the suspicion that the solar wasn't helping. It's just more than most people's rent. Yeah, it was exorbitant. when we lived in California, we got close to that and we didn't have a server.

We were just trying not to die in the heat. Our house is poorly insulated and so you had to run the AC at ridiculous levels to keep it in the high 70s, low 80s inside the house. I feel like 230 is the most I've ever paid for an electric bill. I mean, California is a bit pricier for it. The real thing is it scales So you can go from like last month's bill was 300 this month it's more than double because you you reached the the like next tier and it goes from like This much per kilowatt hour to this much per kilowatt hour

And so the expense it goes up exponentially but it goes up at an increasing rate. I forgot to mention it's also the server and because I had this set in my garage and so I have a lot of lights that are going and I'm bad about turning them off. We have a decent sized house and your electric bill is four times ours. Yeah that's what I'm saying. Really that's why he's gonna move to Ohio. That's well wind no but that's what I say like I have solar you heard that part right okay and I don't think it's working because there's like 40 panels and they confirmed it wasn't working yeah so I'm gonna get I'm gonna get a new battery back up with a new or just scrap it and

get a windmill Bob I'm gonna get yeah windmill. Bob, I'm gonna get a new... Mark, I heard you should get a windmill. Yeah, windmill you think? Hmm, I like it when you say it. Anyway, that's it. That's the boat episode, I guess. All right, thank you so much for participating. You're welcome.
