Yes, it's time for three-sentence horror stories.
Now sit back and prepare to be distracted and enjoy the show.
Hello and welcome back to do another episode of Markiplier's favorite podcast.
Eh? Can't confirm?
It actually is. It is. Yeah, it is.
All right. Besides, of course.
The Edge of Sleep. Out now. Season one.
Go listen to do it.
Just like it has been for three years. It's out now.
I'm not lying. It's true. It's out now.
But anyway, Mark Plyer's second favorite podcast. We'll take it.
I feel like we deserve the top spot, but what could I do about it?
Anyway, I'm your host Bob
I'm hosting because I won
which winning that episode where we just sat on the couch
and talked about whatever for like two hours
is an accomplishment in a way
but also that was fun
I wish that we could just do that more
that was nice
I won that one we'd have to be in
the same place
all the time which is impossible
two of us are
it's almost always been true too
that's not that's very gone true actually that yeah i guess unless you're saying that we lived mark and i
lived in the same state but we lived pretty far away from each other in the same state how big can one
state be pretty big pretty big anyway if you never see the show before i'm the host because
i won the last one these two guys are going to compete they get points for me the host and then
whoever wins host the next one it's a very strict competition uh points are awarded uh points are
are awarded very carefully and thoughtfully and not all in a haphazard and bullshit manner.
And we always follow all of the rules.
We have a very carefully planned out constitution, which we never forget parts of, and we
always enforce consistently and fairly.
So it's a really structured, really strict show that we run here.
So hopefully that's what you signed up for.
It's been a while since I hosted one, so maybe I miss remembering, but I'm pretty sure
that's accurate.
Uh, I do have an episode prepared for today, and I'm pretty excited about it.
It might be a little revisit to an episode that we did about a year ago.
It might be kind of fun.
Do you sentence horror stories.
Woohoo!
Well, we'll get to it when we get to it.
But we always start with small talk.
And it's been, well, like, an actual, well, like a week since the couch episode, right?
Oh, wait, that's not the last episode.
Yeah.
Fuck.
No, cut all that out.
Why didn't you say anything?
I did. I said I won that one.
I was waiting for you to finish.
You said you won that one?
Yeah. Whatever.
Fuck, it wasn't the couch. I liked the couch episode.
The last one, overhosted that piece of shit, barely counts.
Who was? Who wasn't?
Clearly, I remember it.
No, the one between this and the couch one.
Oh, okay. All right, it was Wade. It was Wade. It was Wade.
Oh, man. You remember my Would You Rather episode? It was really good.
Oh, it was. I thought it was Mark. Okay, well, sorry, Wade.
Oh man, it's cool
How you doing, man?
You want to
How's your, you got small talk?
Yeah, you want to go first?
Me?
Oh, me?
Little old me?
Yeah.
I'm doing, okay.
I'm pretty good.
Uh, we finally don't have people in our house
and I don't know what to do about it.
It's like, can I sit in some peace and fucking quiet for a second?
I don't know.
I can come over if you want.
Bring James.
I mean, yeah, sure.
I like James.
And James really likes Molly, so that's fine.
Yeah, he loves Molly.
And whoever Molly's husband.
It's pretty much the other, dude, listen, he's going to be a, he's going to be a problem.
He is a ladies man and he can, I wouldn't say he could barely walk because he's like running now.
Yeah, that's true.
He did full out loops around me.
Yeah.
No, he's got blue eyes, blood and hair.
He's a big flirt.
He's always flirting with girls that are older than him at the playground.
His instinct, if he sees any, it's any kids, but he gravitates towards the girls.
But especially if they're like five to ten,
years older than him, he immediately just walks up and it's like, hi, I'm James.
You want to hold hands?
He's going to be like eight years old trying to go to prom.
Well, I think he had the day of his life one time.
We were at a park.
It was mostly a little kid's park, but there was a group of like high school girls that
were like just hanging out off to the side, just sitting talking in a circle.
And he was doing swings and whatever.
And he saw them and ran right over and sat down in the circle and didn't even
introduce himself just sat down and they were all kind of like and just kept going and like
included him because he was just a cute little kid and he just sat there and was like it's working
my dreams are coming true and that's pretty much it for me I me I have a game that I'm actually
playing and I'm super excited about so my brother famously can't get me gifts because I usually buy
the cool things for myself right away
But one thing I have not gotten is a Switch 2 because, you know, I'm not going to go on eBay and get that even though I, I go on eBay for deals, not for me being steeled.
They're accessible now.
I don't think you have to.
You can just get them.
Are they?
Well, I have one already.
Yeah, you could just go get one.
Well, don't diminish my brother's gift to me.
Your brother did a great job.
Thank you, Bob.
Maybe he got it before they were easily accessible.
He did actually because he pulled away.
He bought it like six months ago and then it was sitting in his closet ever since.
Um, so, but it's only because he wasn't playing it because he didn't have a game to play,
but then when he heard I didn't have one and wanted one, he handed it to me. And the first
thing I got was Hades 2. Okay. I didn't even realize had come out.
You're great things. Oh my God, what a fun fucking game. What a fun fucking game. Am I right?
What a fun game. That's not what I thought that was about. Okay.
Yeah, no, a lot of, a lot of that. Yeah, you know Hoonie Pop, but basically that.
but with the Greek gods, yeah.
Sure, sure.
Aphrodite.
Oh, wait.
Killing.
Sorry.
Did I say fucking?
Same difference?
One gives life.
One takes it away.
Ooh, no.
It's so, I loved Hades one.
I played the crap out of it.
I love Hades 2.
I love all the characters.
It's just so well polished.
It's the gameplay is so tight.
The story is so interwoven into it.
and um it's just so fun it's so fun it's like the same recipe that they had before it's
very little as changed from one to another i'd have to do apple sale apples comparison to know
exactly what changes but it feels really really really good oh it's super fun it's a rogue like
game right yeah rogue like road road road like whatever the terminology is i don't know if any
rogue game is technically rogue like anymore because there's so many like spinoff sub
types and I have no idea. I think this one would have to be called rogue light because rogue
like would be like the original rogue which you really didn't have upgrades coming out of there.
Oh, okay. So this is the one where you get some upgrades over time. It's like you actually
rogue like is you literally start from scratch every single time, right? Yeah. Whereas this one is
starting over as part of the story and it is part of the progression and it's actually
the iterativeness is part of it. And they've so integrated that into the gameplay.
and the rest of it, that it's just super fun.
Oh, man.
I'm only a few hours into it, but, oh, it's so good.
It's so goddamn good.
What a great game.
I love that feeling.
It's been a good stretch of games for me lately.
I have not actually played Hades to you.
I did like the first one.
But I've also had a few games come out that are like not AAA titles, but still pretty
big games.
Dead Zone Rogue.
Jump Space.
Abysis.
These are all specific games where they're like first person.
I'm playing Jump Space
for a couple days. I've not played it yet.
Yeah, it's so fun. Oh my God.
But I get that feeling where you just play it and you're like,
oh, this is exactly what I hoped it would be.
God, yes.
It's been a good stretch of that.
And I know they're like a sponsor or whatever.
This is not sponsored.
I'm just excited.
Battlefield is coming.
I'm excited for that based on the experience in the beta.
Oh.
We've not got to play with Mark,
but Bob and I played a bunch of it.
But a serious stretch of fun stuff.
And we left our...
asses off with some of the shenanigans we did.
Combat medic.
No notes.
No, it's going to be beautiful.
But yeah, I'm excited to play Hades too also because I do.
I like the first one.
I like games like that.
I just, I didn't realize it was on Switch 2.
I might do that.
I've heard Megabonk is good, too.
Mega bonk.
That's what's called Megabonk.
Mega bonk.
Uh, haven't heard of it.
I've had a lot of some people tell me that Megabonk's a lot of fun, too.
I don't know much about it.
It's just another game I've heard people talking about recently.
Oh, it's got an interesting style.
I'm interested in just for the aesthetics right now.
It looks like RuneScape, but more 3D, way more enemies.
I think it plays like Vampire Survivor type thing.
Oh, yeah, yeah, it's like those old arcade top-down kind of adventure crawlers.
I just see a skeleton wearing sunglasses doing a kickflip, so that's pretty much all I need to hear about.
I see a guy who looks kind of like Wolverine just flexing while Rockets.
come out of his head.
Yep.
Apparently a lot of good games right now.
Yeah, it's been quite a stretch.
Yeah, it's good time for games,
which is, I imagine this might be
the last era of good games
before the AI takes over
and makes us all play
terrible AI games for the rest of forever.
I just hope Blueprints gets a sequel
before then, or a DLC.
The boring, stupid game
that nobody likes.
Look, man, some of us played the game
and some of us went to MS paint
and zoomed in for three hours.
Look, hey, I solved it, didn't I?
I solved the puzzle.
I did eventually.
You could have solved it in three minutes by like looking around.
No, no, looking around more like cheating.
I don't do that.
Yeah, yeah, that was...
Watching me play games is painful.
Watching that was, it was something else.
So fun, right?
The opposite of painful.
Watching that was the best experience of my life.
Oh, you just had to find a magnifying glass, dude.
That's it.
I remember the first time I fell in love paled in comparison to my video of blueprints.
One magnifying glass would have saved you all that pain.
Who has a magnifying? Do you have a magnifying glass?
No, he does not.
And at least 30% of my runs, probably.
Oh, is that a thing in the game?
Yeah.
I haven't actually played that game, so I think it's fair for me not to know that.
Didn't you play it?
Shouldn't you know that, Mark?
Why would I know that I didn't get everything?
I got to the first puzzle and then I had to open MSPaint.
You heard this guy.
He went into like four rooms.
It's all puzzled.
He's like, what if I take this to Photoshop?
I did my due diligence.
That's fair.
Just because my diligence is more due than yours.
Doesn't mean that I'm any.
You had more dedication to solving that puzzle the hardest way possible than anyone I've ever met.
Looking closely at it and tracing the letters, I think there were harder ways.
And I was about to find them.
But then I solved it.
Well, I didn't solve it.
Yeah, pretty bold to claim that that's the hardest.
way you could possibly solve that puzzle.
He didn't even get barely started
in that video.
Man, it might have been easier
to brute force the letters and just
guess the password. I don't know. That was...
There was a punishment for brute force. Wasn't there a punishment
for not getting it right? There was a punishment.
You couldn't do unlimited. Right?
I had a self-imposed
punishment for doing it.
My
testicular torture
device was set to maximum
every time I got it wrong. You guys don't have
that? No, man.
Keep mine on low.
Oh man, what a wuss.
Yeah.
Low.
Ugh.
I'm not a real gamer.
I keep my ball zapper on low.
Any other small talk?
Anything else going on?
Those were really, those were good ones.
Even yours, Wade.
Thanks.
I just stole James stories and made it my small talk.
Oh, that counts.
All about.

I'm excited for this today because we are going to be revisiting a few.
video or an idea that I hosted about a year ago. And Wade, you had a guess as to what it
might be. And you were close. Okay. But I'm going to give you the segue point. And by you were
close, I mean, you were pretty much right because we're doing three sentence horror stories.
Three. Yeah, look, I know two was a lot to ask. And I know some of us had a hard time with
some of that.
Oh!
So I was like, well, how can I, how can we do this again?
Because it is the scary season.
It's that month when everything can be scary.
What if I give you extra sentence to work with?
So I'm still going to give you one sentence.
And then you get two whole sentences to make it a scary story.
Oh, don't look like that.
This is for, this is for you.
No, this is me excited.
No, this is my excited face.
I'm excited.
You look excited.
He's only excited because he's playing Hades 2 right now.
Yeah.
No, no.
Mark's staring down at the Switch 2.
Like, God, need more Hades.
Oh, no, I've got VFX questions.
Oh, that's just as fun.
Oh, it's so thrilling, guys.
Don't worry.
It's really good.
We need more Houdini licenses.
I hope you know.
It sounds fun.
Sounds like a great pastime.
It is.
Oh, man, it is.
All right.
Well, since I was going to flip a coin,
but since Mark is busy, uh, Wade, you get to go first.
Yay!
All right, three sentence horror stories.
I'm going to give you the first sentence,
and you're going to give me two follow-up sentences to turn it into a horror story.
I somehow feel like I'm going to be worse at this one than I was last time.
Yeah, well, the expectation is that you're going to crush it, so.
Yeah, but I feel like the one sentence, I had the two sentence down,
adding an extra layer is like, okay, need a filler sentence.
All right, Wade.
Start us off strong I believe in you
As we entered the laboratory
I knew immediately that something was different
The smell in the air was off
The feeling of the ground under my feet was off
Something was seriously wrong
Wasn't that too those
These are commas
These are commas
They're semicolins at best
Calm down here
They're commas
Unless he's doing
Unless he's doing the full Oxford comma
And the smell in the air was off
comma the feel of the ground under my feet was off
comma
those are just separate phrases I would argue
though those need to be separate sentences sir
but okay no no definitely comma
and then and it would be the feeling
under my toes feet
pro lines
commas with an and with an
now I'm off my game
what was my punch line guys third
sentence start again you can do it
read me in read me in
as we entered the laboratory
I knew immediately that something
was different. Smell in the
air, comma.
A feeling of the ground under my feet.
Comma. And what I saw before me,
it was all wrong. And that's when
they appeared. He's out of
sentences. We don't get to know, I guess.
I'm not out of sentences, yeah.
We don't mean, comma, two sentences
in a row. I'm not a psychopath.
That must be what's scary.
It's they. They're scary.
That would have been the moment for a semicolon.
And that's when they appeared, semicolon.
The Bulbinites.
Oh.
I don't know what Bulbinites are, but I don't like the look of it.
No, trust me, it really adds a lot whenever you give it another nonsense word.
I gotta save my, I gotta save my goodness for my turn.
Guys, hold on. Don't give him my points.
Yeah, I can't wait for yours, man.
Do you need a second, or are you?
I'm good, hold on.
I'm good, hold on.
Go ahead, I'm ready.
I'm good, comma.
Good, comma, hold on, comma.
I can have two conversations at the same time.
I do it all the time.
All right, Mark.
Maybe what you need is a good distraction,
because that'll free your mind for this to just be flow of consciousness.
It's going to be great.
As we entered the laboratory, I knew immediately that something was different.
Oh, my God, do I get the same one that he does?
Yeah, it's a face-to-face.
Is that how that's worked last time?
I don't remember.
Yeah, no, I picked whose I liked more on each one, I believe.
Maybe that's not what I did. That's what I'm doing now.
Okay, all right. I'm so ready.
Give it to me.
Yeah, you gotcha. I gotcha.
As we entered the laboratory, I knew immediately that something was different.
There was blood on the ceiling, comma.
The floor, comma. The walls, comma. The desks, comma.
And even my favorite chia pet.
Oh no.
it was loose.
Oh.
Oh.
Man, you know, I was going to protest
that mine was better, but then he put blood on the
Chia Pet, and I don't know if I can top that.
My favorite Chia Pet.
Not his favorite.
The Abraham Lincoln Chia Pet.
Yeah, you're right.
If you don't feed him and clean up his poop, he'll die.
Wait, those were Tomogat.
That was a different thing.
Chia Pet's like the planet.
No, the Abraham Lincoln one will die as well,
and it will be very tragic.
You'll know when the play starts
Chia pet's the one where that grass grows out
And gives it hair, right?
Yeah, the grass, not the chia
Yes
I didn't know Chia was the type of grass
I just thought it was the brand
Chea's a thing you can eat
Chia seeds are commonly put into
Like overnight oats and things of that nature
You can eat it.
Listen, as a child it was grass
And he grew grass out of pigs
And literally named the thing that grows on
Well, I didn't know that
Wade didn't have Chia pet money
Wade grew up with grass pets
I had the little keychain of the frog that poops and you have to feed it for it to grow.
I think that was more expensive.
Well, that's what I had, man.
We were rich, poor.
We didn't have to settle for plants.
We were on the richer end of poor, so I got that.
I never had a chip bet, so I guess I can't really say.
All right.
Mark, are you ready?
Yeah.
Uh-huh.
I had never been to IKEA before, but this is not what I expected.
Oh.
Oh.
Uh-oh, these are in Swedish.
Is that a camera or a period between that?
Uh-oh, exclamation, these are in Swedish.
All right, Wade, if you want to just concede this.
I'm crushing it this time.
I'm crushing it.
How can I follow that up?
If you want to just concede this point
I'll allow that
But it is your turn to try and compete
I knew to I knew an extra sentence was all Mark needed
To really get there
No I feel like I have to try
It makes it look even better
Alright
Wait here you go
I had never been to IKEA before
But this was not what I expected
The long hallways were mazes
Mases I couldn't find the end of
And the people were definitely dead
If always were mazes, comma?
You just not like my sentence structure.
I just don't think that these, that's, I think that that's two sentences.
I'm sorry, man.
If you use commas in that way, I will allow it.
I do.
I'm not going to comment on whether I think that's correct or not grammatically,
because it's pretty subjective what is or is not correct,
but I would, that's not how I would write it, but I will allow it.
It doesn't really matter because I think,
Mark takes that one.
No, no, that's fair.
Pretty much open and shut case.
How can I meet this sentence?
Uh-oh.
It's really hard.
In a horror movie, you hear, uh-oh, that's bad news, guys.
And then Swedish, I mean, man, hearing Ethan go the burger again?
Truly terrifying.
Swedish.
That was not Sweden, man.
Sweet had good food.
Yeah, they did.
I do actually remember eating there.
You ever eaten so many meatballs.
All right, Wade, are you ready?
I should go ahead.
My Little Dog Biscuit had always been so affectionate
But something was different today
This was no longer my dog
I could see that getting kind of scary
Kind of horrory
I'm just shooting for average
You know, it's going for average
You guys have me afraid of commas now
So we're just going in with a short sweet of boy
This is the psychological warfare
I've put out on my opponent
It's working, it's working
I've got this
It's working, it's working
I'm warfaird
This is Mark's episode.
All right, Mark, I'll read you in.
I'm ready.
My little dog biscuit had always been so affectionate.
Until our cat gravy came along.
Now, they're too busy loving each other instead of me.
Yeah, biscuits and gravy, you know, biscuit.
It's a great pun, yeah, I love it.
I threw the name in there to sort of amp on.
I can see that.
Yeah, no, that's good.
Sorry, I didn't mean to make everyone cry.
I was going to say, man, it was so scary.
It brought tears to my eyes.
So I should have run to the cry toilet instead of the booping toilet.
Yeah, no.
The thought of your pets liking each other is terrifying.
What's that warning you always throw out there, Mark?
You're going to shit.
You're going to shit.
You should have warned us.
You got to listen to this episode in the bathroom.
Have you guys ever shot yourself in fear?
No.
In fear?
No.
Does it count if I was afraid I was going to shit myself and then I shit myself?
No, no, that's not.
Because that might happen.
No, because it's like in media you see characters piss themselves all the time in fear,
shit themselves all the time, but you hear about that.
I've never come close to pee in my pants in fear or pooping my pants in fear.
And I've played a lot of horror games.
Maybe that's just because I haven't been in a real situation where my life has been threatened.
But I just feel, is that exaggeration?
I've had friends pissed themselves from laughing, but never fear.
Because of how my brain works, I have actually thought about this exact question a lot, Mark,
and I've arrived at the conclusion that it must be that, I don't know.
I don't know if people just live at a higher, like, level.
When my tanks get any amount full, like a perceivable amount full, pee or poo,
I'm just like, I'll hit the bathroom.
And I keep it on E.
I'm that person.
When I play a survival game, I keep my food and water up, and I keep my sleep up,
and I keep everything else empty.
and I'm, like, obsessive about it.
People must live, like, they're like,
ah, I should probably hit the bathroom soup.
Oh, I kind of got to pee.
And then, like, suddenly you're in the middle of a horror scenario or something,
and, like, you get so scared of you, just happens.
I was recently.
We hung out in person.
We recorded that podcast episode, and then we went to grab food.
So as we were leaving the house, I was like,
I should probably hit the bathroom before we go.
But everyone's ready to go.
I'll just go when we get to the restaurant.
Completely forgot to go and we went to the restaurant.
I got halfway home from there.
and it hit.
And it was like, oh,
gas day, ah, just 15 more minutes.
I can make it 15 more minutes.
Dude, it was close.
He ruined his new car.
Thankfully, it had already been waterlogged,
so any additional liquid damage didn't do anything.
Thank God it was just the rental.
Yeah, everybody home, I saw Wade's car.
It's sad.
He keeps going to the rental place and renting the exact same one.
It's like, please, my friends have to believe me.
Can I have that one back?
Please, what do you mean?
It's in Florida.
You must stop pissing in it, sir.
You must, please.
I thought it was pissed to own.
Once I rented, it's mine.
I'll do what I want.
Aren't you guys supposed to clean it?
Piss to own.
I thought that was funny.
Thanks.
Scrub it.
Scrum it.
Clean it.
Oh, I thought you met to the editors.
Scrub that joke out.
Scrub it.
I was like, I thought that was funny.
Thanks.
Editors, kill it.
Mark laughs.
I don't want it in there.
That would have been funnier.
We got to keep this beef fresh.
All right, Mark, you ready?
Oh, God.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
No, this one's a good setup.
I think you're going to kill this one.
Drake, you came all the way from Pennsylvania?
You don't remember who this is.
I remember this, but how am I going to play off a Wade's bit there?
And when he's right standing right there, show him up.
Can I help him?
Here's what you do, Mark.
You give two sentences.
Okay, all right
Yeah, okay
Yeah, okay
Give me name again
Drake, you came all the way
From Pennsylvania
Yes, I did
Dot, dot dot
To kill you
Said the Pennsylvania
Stabber
You didn't know
They were parenthetical there
Yeah, no, you could use your two sentences
And however you choose
It's like that
The TikTok
channel, what do you call it? Page thing
account. That does
the horror stories. I sure hope somebody doesn't
stab me in my sleep. The butt-stabber laughed
under my bed. Yeah.
I did a pissboard. Man, this is why I shouldn't do the shit.
Don't mess with my gang, or you'll have to meet Jerry.
I actually really like those as a sub-genre of
they're pretty funny. Wade?
Try and beat that.
Yeah, idiot.
Sorry, I'm sorry, I called you an idiot
Alright, lead me in
Drake, you came all the way from Pennsylvania
I came all this way
Just to see you
But the name is drag
Oh
If you don't know that one
Then you're not a real listener
Go to the sub read and ask
And someone will point you in the right direction
Because I don't know what the right direction is
That's true
It's not like I could tell you what episode that's actually from
So it's fine
Wade
This next one
The sentence is slightly different for each of you because you're going to say each other's names.
Okay.
Okay.
Got it.
Well, I'm going to say, but it's said it.
So, Wade, you go first.
Yours is, I looked at the ice pick in my hand, then back up at Mark.
There was already blood all over it.
Why was Mark smiling?
Because you can torture him as much as he wants.
Yeah, I was thoroughly enjoying it.
No, I was applying he'd already use it on me.
Oh, okay.
All right.
I got an even better one.
Hit me.
All right.
I'll read you in.
I looked at the ice pick in my hand,
then back up at Wade.
Man, I only got one sentence, though.
Maybe there's bonus.
If you could do it in one sentence,
that's bonus.
No, I can do it in one.
How was he still standing
after all those
ice pick impacts
on his skull?
No, you know what?
I like that.
It's like,
you're like an anime character.
Like, you know, it's always,
it's always very precisely explained.
Yes, exactly.
You got to fill a time slot.
You don't want to leave the details.
You want to make sure you work all those words in there.
Oh, man.
Making myself cry, I'm so funny.
No, you've really brought it home there at the end.
I mean, scary.
I'm scary.
I'm so scary.
I knew this is the one for you, Mark.
Speaking of the one for you,
here you go, buddy.
I had always enjoyed how calm riding a train made me feel.
Unfortunately today, dot, dot, dot, dot.
the scary train
Oh man
Yep
It's easy
platforms are right next to each other
You really don't want to get the one
All black coal spilloing
Yeah that's just
It's such a simple mistake
But it really
It's important
Oh man my options were wary train
Scary train and hairy train
Damn it
Actually the hairy train would be very very scary
Well, good luck, Wade.
Thanks.
You gonna reach you in?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I had always enjoyed how calm riding a train made me feel.
On this particular day, the ride had been anything but calm.
And the track had ended miles ago.
Well, that was a period that time?
Okay.
I was just saying, like, comma.
Oh, that and was a period.
Oh, you'll know when it's a comma.
All right, Wade.
That's me.
It was my turn, and I hesitantly reached down and spun the bottle one more time.
It spun, comma, and spun, comma, and spun.
Period.
By the time it ended, I looked up, comma.
And what I saw, no human eyes should ever have to see.
There's no comma in that second sentence.
It's just one sentence.
I don't even think the first one needed commas, but...
I didn't say comma.
You did say comma.
I said comma, comma, comma.
You said the comma in the second sentence.
You said that by the time I looked up, comma,
my eyes saw comma what human comma eyes comma should never see
comma comma comma comma comia basically look I'm going to overlook the punctuation but
wait I am going to request that if you specify if it's a comma or a period for the remainder
of the episode so that we can avoid these sorts of disputes fine exclamation point
all right mark it was my turn so I hesitantly reached down and spun the bottle one more
time. After kissing
Grandma, I thought it couldn't get any
worse, but this family
reunion was about to take
a real dark turn.
Oh, that was
but. Period, but.
Put a dot, dot, dot anywhere in there.
After kissing, ellipsies,
Grandma.
Elipsies.
I thought it couldn't get anywhere.
Man, this is an absolute
slobber knocker. You guys are killing it.
I'm having a great time. You guys
always shit on your own episodes.
You seem like you're having more fun this time the last time.
There was a lot of, this time you're in it.
And this next one is for you, Mark.
Okay, all right.
I put this in for for you and you get to go first on this one.
Yeah.
Also, side note, a slobber knocker refers to a hard fought match or aggressive encounter.
When did that come up, question, Mark?
Because I said this is a real slobner knocker.
It's a word I said out loud in the previous thing I said.
O comma, right, period.
Do you think I just define random words?
I guess I do.
I have no idea.
Interesting fact, the grundle is defined as the space between the back of your balls and your butthole.
I thought that was the taint.
It's also called the grundle.
Oh.
Mark, this one's for you.
Are you ready?
Yes.
I didn't realize until I was all the way home that I accidentally bought the scary tape.
Man, done.
What do I need to add?
What do I need to add?
That's the whole story.
All right, okay.
Wait, no, give it to me again.
I didn't realize until I was all the way home
that I accidentally bought the scary tape.
Uh-oh.
Oopsy-poopsie.
Is that a comma or?
Uh-oh.
Oopsy-poopsy ellipsies.
That's what I got.
Man, how can I follow this up?
Are you ready, Wade?
Yeah, yeah, man.
I'll just take the L here, but, yeah.
I didn't realize until I was all the way home that I accidentally bought the scary tape.
I wrapped it around my broken cane, but then I realized it was wrapping around me, period, for the second time.
The first period was implied.
Man, I knew I put that one in there for Mark.
I just...
Yeah, I can't...
How I beat Oopsy Poopsy.
Don't forget the uh-oh.
The uh-oh in there.
Oh, I didn't forget the uh-oh.
It's the setup and the oopsie-poopsie really hit it out of the park.
Wade?
Oh, man.
I forgot.
These could increasingly unhinged the further doubt I wrote them, so these are starting to get...
Awesome.
Okay, Wade, here you go.
I'm ready for this slobber knocker.
I stared at my phone screen as Mecca Hitler reassured me that I had always been his favorite.
Okay. Sorry, I need a moment for that when I wasn't ready.
Process.
Surprise Mecca.
They got it.
You know, not when I had on my bingo card for this.
Okay, sorry.
Can you leave me one more time?
I stared at my phone screen as Mecca Hitler reassured me that I had always been his favorite.
I touched the screen, comma, Spider-Man holding, or no, Wolverine holding the picture frame style.
And then I turned around to see him standing there.
We could just say I lose
Okay, man, we don't have to
It's okay, you never know
Mark might lose his touch
You never know, it might fall off
I feel like I've lost my...
I can't do three sentences for some reason
This is so much harder than two
Mark, are you ready?
I don't think so because
I don't think I'm going to do any better.
Lead him in.
Oh, yeah, well, just you wait.
It's just because I'm in pain
in all the genius that's being channeled through my
neurons right now.
Oh, man.
It's so hard to bear the intensity of these
amazing thoughts.
I am merely a conduit to the genius
of my subconscious.
I said to Mecca Hitler.
Oh, whew!
Ah, shit.
All right.
How about we do one more?
And Mark gets to go first.
And this one's for you again, buddy.
You ready, Mark?
No.
Okay, good.
I shot awake at 4 a.m.
Moon time to the sound of children laughing.
It's moon time.
It's implying that this person lives on the moon.
Oh, I would not have gotten that.
Wait, okay.
All right, all right.
Let me edit it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I shot awake in my moon house at 4 a.m. moon time to the sound of children laughing on the moon.
I checked my moon clock to confirm my horrors.
Oh, no, I said, comma.
I'm on the moon.
Yeah.
See, Wade, if you want to win this, you got to put a lot of oh-nows, a lot of uh-ohs, a lot of oopsies.
Yeah, I'm starting to see the strategies.
You got to have more exclamations, man.
I'm not going to follow that at all, though.
I'm not going to follow that at all.
All right, wait, are you ready?
Lead me in.
I shot awake in my moon house at 4 a.m. moon time to the sound of children laughing on the moon.
They're laughing turned to screaming and crying, period.
There's not supposed to be anyone else on the moon.
Uh-oh.
Oh, he didn't.
Damn it!
Damn it!
Why did I give it with my strategy?
He worked it in.
Oh, me, oh, my.
Well, happy Halloween, everybody.
I hope you don't have too much shit in your pants
after all of those horror stories that we just regaled you with.
I hope you heated Mars warning and watch this one on the pooper,
because there's basically no chance you help.
it all inside. No oopsie poopsies out there for you. Just the purest form of terror we could
muster. Uh, uh, Mark, you got points for edge of sleep. Moleskin. Thanking Bob, good games.
The Bulbinites. It was loose. These are in Swedish. Ice pick impacts. Kissing grandma ellipsies.
and I said to Mecca Hitler
I must have gotten zero points
You know what I can see
Wait, you got points for
I'm sorry I insulted you so much at the beginning
I really didn't I wasn't trying to
I felt like I was setting that up
And I just really dug into you and like I
You wrote all that down
Basically
You got a point for being Molly's husband
You got a point for
Megabonk
Some of us played the game
You got the segue point
you got a point for
those are commas
uh not my dog
it's pissed to own
the name is drag
you'll know commas
when you see them
and you're implied periods
yes I was desperately hunting
for things to give you points for
anyway somehow you both ended up
with 11 points
what a what a slobber knocker
two
two
two
how many bonus points
shall it shit.
Hey, Bob's hosting a one-man show soon, probably.
Do we have one that's like the scariest story?
I don't think we have that.
Not that I know of, no.
You could just say Mark Point, man.
I can't top anything he's ever said.
Scariest contribution.
Juffle, shuffle, shuffle, shuffle, shuffle.
Oh, no, I'm on the moon.
Two spins, here we go.
Oh, it sticks in your mind.
My story is like Stephen King.
It does stick in your mind.
It really gets in there.
Oh
Fuck
It's a tie
What a crazy result
Does that mean it's over
And we have to just go to the other wheel
Is that what that means
The original rules are
That it's over
No more spins you do that
In the past we spun after it
But I think the original intentional rules
Was that's it
We go under the bonus wheel
Well it's reset
Because we haven't spun it before yet
So what does it start at?
It starts at like 8% or something, right?
In 6.
I think it's, yeah, it's 6%, yeah.
Look at where it was.
Six.
Jesus Christ.
All right, so what is six?
I have to do math crap.
Okay, it's 360, so that should divide evenly.
That's why we did six.
What is this?
So it's 0.06 times 360, 21.6.
We usually round up the rest of the time, so I'll just set it at 20.
There's no way.
No shot.
That this is going to land on the one-man show.
I don't know how we write another one-man show after like three episodes.
Literally, the last thing in my book still is the one-man show, and then this one.
All right.
Well, it's not going to happen, so I'm not going to worry about it.
Here we go.
Who wins?
It's definitely going to be Marker Wade and not the other thing that it could be.
Oh, my God.
It did not look like it was slowing down in time.
I think Bob's got the fix button on there
because that was like plenty of momentum going towards tie
and then, whoop, back to me.
But I'll take it, you know what?
I didn't buy the pro version of this software
just to let it screw me over again, okay?
Okay, well.
Oh, man, this was a poopy pants episode.
Uh, uh, Wade, give us a loser speech, you big loser.
I'm a guy.
who pays attention the best I can, which isn't very good.
Two sentence horror stories, the maximum I can follow.
Three sentences, it's just too complex.
I didn't have a chance.
It was rigged against me from the start.
In fact, everything was against me at the start.
I wasn't even given credit for the last episode I hosted.
It's true.
But we are where we are, and the wheel has spoken.
Who am I to disagree?
Nobody.
Mark, Winter Speech.
Hey, I am so glad I've been practicing my horror stories just in case it would come up.
The three sentences, that was a curveball.
But, as we all know, three is only one more than two.
And one sentence horror stories, I was already good at.
So one plus two that I practiced equals three that I was going to be good at.
It was a shoe in for me.
And also, I bribed Bob.
That's why the wheel spin was so fixed.
It wasn't my fault.
It was Mark's fault.
It was fixed.
Well, congratulations, Mark.
despite me scrambling desperately to keep weight in this one
he really just never stood a chance
make sure you check out the merch
because there's definitely some there
unless it's sold out again
actually by the time this episode comes out
it won't it won't be
but it will be by the time the episode after this one comes out
and also based on last time there's a decent chance
it's going to sell out pretty quickly so good luck
if you really really want some
like bookmark the page or whatever kids do these days
and good luck, sorry.
But yeah, and then check out Mark and Wade and myself
at our social medias.
Mark Plyer, Lord Main 8777 or My Skirm.
Make sure you follow the podcast, and that way you'll always know
that our episodes pretty much always come out on the same days.
Just ignore the past week.
Looking forward to Mark's episode.
I'm sure.
I'm 100% confident because I know how much free time you have these days.
It's going to be the perfectest your crime.
Oh, it won't.
But I have a different idea.
The worstest crime.
I feel like I already committed that.
That's the end of the episode.
Thanks so much for watching and listening.
We're out of here.
See you on the next one.
