Yes! It's time for... We've never done this before. Hello and welcome back to another episode of Distractable, that's right, you never had a choice to begin with. No we're not going to tackle the concept of free will today, yes I knew you would be here. No I'm not going to tell you how I knew that. Yes, I'm excited to see you on the next episode too. Yeah, anyway, I'm your host for today. My name is Bob and I'm the host because I won the last one.

I did win the last one, right? Yeah, I think so. I just started talking and then I blacked out. I don't know what happened. Did I say anything weird? Uh, not as weird as me apparently, or maybe weirder, depending on what gut points. and then I blacked out. I don't know what happened. Did I say anything weird? Not as weird as me apparently, or maybe weirder. Depending on what got points, I don't know what did. Yeah, anyway, this is a show where I'm the host

and the other two guys are competing and then whoever wins hosts the next one. That's the way it works. There are points. I have a scorecard, we write them down, or we suffer. Okay, all right. No one has opted to suffer though. He usually just finds something to write with. Oh!

Sorry. What? He's suffering. Put him out of his misery. He chose to suffer. He chose to suffer. I got water in my poo. He got food in my water.

Hey, it's pretty good. I'm not doing this for points, I'm just starving. Oh no, Tyler got me the poo book and I actually got water in my poo. Does it turn back into poo if you get too much water on it? I don't know. I went to set my water down and I don't know what happened but I like, I became the Hulk for a second and squeezed really hard but then I also like pushed it as I did so I like squeezed it and threw it and just go ahead do your thing man yeah I said how it works something winner post whatever how's it going gentlemen let's just jump right into small talk

how's everybody doing weights covered in poop or something I guess I could take it over while while he's dealing with whatever in the hell he's doing I'm doing good I'll give you a choice. I could talk about my personal life or talk about this headline that's hilarious to me. But probably not actually hilarious. But it's intriguing. I mean, I'd like to hear about your personal life, but the headline, you sold it so well. Surgeons in India just successfully removed the legs and buttocks of a parasitic twin

from the chest of a 17 year old. That is interesting. I don't think the article is actually going to tell any more of the story than what the title is. I think the entirety of it is right there. Is this a really successful odd operation? How old it was a 17 year old, 17 year old who had a parasitic twin, which I believe is a case where the twin is partially absorbed alive. And but yeah, partially there like the cells were splitting which I believe is a case where the twin is partially absorbed alive and,

but yeah, partially there. Like the cells were splitting when it was an embryo and it didn't split quite right in some place. And then, you know, I like it sounds like the 17 year old is fine, hopefully from the surgery. And I'm sure they were okay beforehand, but that, that's going to be tough to live with. I got to imagine that's so that's, I have no idea how big or small these things were, but that must just be kind of tough to live with, I gotta imagine. That's a, that's, I have no idea how big or small these things were, but that must just be kind of funky to live with. In less?

Cause I'm telling you, the well is dry on news titles this season. Why? Where'd all the news go, Mark? Just nothing's happening, everything's boring. But there is one that I want to read because I feel like it's a, it's sort of a PSA, but sort of a like a common sense, please

Texas official warns against measles parties as outbreak keeps growing I'm sorry. What is a measles party? So i'm assuming that it's the same kind of idea as a chicken pox party Which also is not recommended anymore because there's a vaccine that, just like there's a vaccine for measles. But if you do have a child with measles, do not host a party where other children come and get exposed to the measles. That's not how that one works.

Yeah, don't do that. Yeah, don't do that. Bob, when you asked, what is a measles party, I thought of Weekend Update, whenever Stephon used to be on there, and they're like, what is a measles party. I thought of weekend update whenever Stefan used to be on there like what is a measles party? The hottest club in New York is Measles party they have everything

God that was such a good bit Dan Cortez All right. I got one last thing which is here Indian man awarded damages over length of commercials Before movie screening and I think this is interesting because the length of commercials before movie screening. And I think this is interesting because the length of the trailers... Yeah, he sued because he thought there were too many commercials? Yes. And we're talking specifically about the trailers when the movie time starts, which has been getting egregiously high.

Yeah, movies start like 10 to 15 minutes after their allotted time. The scheduled movie in Bangalore said the movie ran for 2 hours and 25 minutes, which is on the longer side of movies. It was due to start at 4.05 and due to finish at 6.30, but with over 30 minutes of time added in from trailers and advertisements the man was late for work which he was scheduled for at 630 when the film was supposed to end. What does he work right outside the movie theater? He watched it in that sounds a little bit like it's on him I have no idea but it's it is a weird amount of time that is dedicated towards these Trailers and advertisements which is that is all they are their and they're advertisements for future movies, which I like trailers. Yeah. We always try to get there in time to watch all the trailers. Yeah, but it's too many. It is too many, I think nowadays. They're usually about 20 to

25 minutes, I would say, in terms of trailers before the movie even begins. And they're fun to watch, but if you go to see a lot of movies, you see a lot of the same ones many times. I guess I just don't even get that because I mean, you see a movie trailer. Maybe you're going to see the movie, but like of all the trailers I've ever seen, there were only a handful where I saw the trailer and I was like, Whoa, I was unaware of that movie. Now I'm going to go see that movie. It's always like, Oh, I'm not interested in this. Oh, I was unaware of that movie. Now I'm going to go see that movie. It's always like, oh, I'm not interested in this.

Oh, I'm not interested in this. Oh, I really want to see this movie already. Maybe that's more of an effect on other people, but that just seems kind of stupid to me. You'd think they'd have to see good return on doing it or they wouldn't keep doing it, but there are so many and they're long. And when the movie time is supposed to start,

the movie should start. I feel like it would make more sense if the movie just started at the advertised time and the trailers ran before and you had to get there a little early if you wanted to see the trailers. Cause then it's like, you can't really be mad if you don't see the trailers.

But also then the movie happens at a time where you don't have to guess how long. All of that aside, this dude won money for this front in a court yeah he won the equivalent of $574 which is not a ton of money a movie theater can definitely handle that loss but also some people were commenting why didn't he just leave the theater at 20 you wouldn't finish the movie, I guess, but you can get a refund for a ticket if you really, really didn't like a movie.

I think you can still get a refund. I mean, I guess I just find it hard to feel too bad for a guy who was going to see a movie that if it started exactly on time, still would have made him late for work if he stayed and watched the entire thing. Like the argument that they play too many trailers I'm totally on board with but that's stupid. Yeah there is something about advertising a movie starting at four that doesn't start at four that

seems wrong but him being like I was late for work because of you it's like I knew what time it was and I chose not to leave and then I was late for work because I chose not to leave I also chose to watch a movie Literally right before work. Yeah, only showing this century of this movie Look, I'm not saying that I haven't been there. But also that's pretty much on you. You're gonna make yourself late to work Well, not according to the law. He won money. I just feel like I mean, I don't know anything about the court system in India. It's similar to the court systems here. Doesn't that, that creates a precedent of,

can't other people do that then? Can I just pick a movie whose theoretic end time would have made me be able to leave and get somewhere else on time? Then just watch the whole movie and then leave when it actually ends and then be like Hey, you owe me 600 bucks

And then the court has to be like, yeah, well we did it for that other guy So yeah, it does open up the doors for a lot I'm not sure how the legal system goes over there the same way as over here But I assume it's similar, but I don't actually know here's what they're gonna do to change it They're gonna have the movie start time still still play all the trailers, but movie length? Three question marks. I think they should just stop playing anything once it hits the time when the movie was supposed to end. And if it ends with half an hour left in the movie, so be it. No, no, they pit the accelerator. People don't have the attention span to watch at one X speed. They got to do 1.5. It's really got to speed it up.

God, they adjust the whole movie to be like 1.1 speed, just the whole thing to make sure it fits. Oh no. Look, I've uploaded an entire video at the wrong aspect ratio out of a raw file that didn't even have audio. I don't think anyone's gonna notice. No. No one cares. I never knew Brad Pitt was so squeaky sounding. They're all so busy looking at their phones, they'll never notice. Anyway, that's all I got for the news.

I didn't talk about my life at all, but you know, whatever. That's fine. You don't have to do that. I mean I could, but it's more of the same thing. Wade, what's in your life? Please. Upstage Mark. Well, you guys have heard about me reading Animorphs.

You've heard about Path of Exile 2, you've heard me talk about Diablo 4, you've heard me talk about storage hunting, but have you heard me talk about Monster Hunter Wilds? No, because it just came out, but... Oh, it's so fun! I've already put so many... How much time have I put it to? I've not had any time to play, and yet somehow I already have. Let's take a look.

22.8 hours in like three days. That is a lot. Yeah. When did you start? It came out on Friday. Yeah, I saw on Twitter, someone that already had 73 hours in the game, which is exactly how much time it's been out. Yeah, so I'm like hunter rank eight.

I've seen people that are like high rank 106 and stuff like that. I've been playing a lot. It's a lot of fun. I feel like early on, it feels easier than the other monster hunters, but some of the fights I've gotten to recently have been a bit tougher, which is good. It's like a of fun. I feel like early on it feels easier than the other monster hunters But some of the fights I've gotten to recently been a bit tougher, which is good It's like a little bit more challenging but not like impossible and annoying. So I've been having a lot of fun with it

I'm excited to get into the harder fights, but man another game on Wade's playlist Yeah, how are you gonna possibly grind path of exile 2 enough now that you also have monster hunter in your life I'll do what I always do abandon abandon the games I love before I finish them. Ah, nice. Because everyone loves when you don't finish what you start. Is that a slight against me? I feel like that's towards me. That did somehow feel like a personal attack against Mark. You edging me, man?

I'm edging, but that's not your... that was an indictment of myself, not you. My big thing is I never finish games that I start, except for like five times. I've never finished once in my life ever Mom man This is why we don't have children Hey, babe, you close yeah, all right I'm happy to help down the host doesn't always do small talk But I've made a mistake and I want to groan about it grown away, man I'm gonna choke man. Hey, I'm happy to help. The host doesn't always do small talk,

but I've made a mistake and I wanna groan about it. Groan away, man. Mark has already told the story, so it's not that interesting, but you remember, Mark, you remember, you remember when you needed a prior authorization for medicine? Oh no. Yeah, our fucking insurance changed at the beginning of February.

This is going to air further in the future but even now when we're recording it, it's not February anymore and I still don't have all the prior authorizations I need to get the prescriptions I've been taking for 8 plus years to manage my diabetes. A chronic illness that's never going to go away. Is this just a fun insulin prescription or is this a necessary insulin? We don't want anyone getting bonus insulin. They want people to get their prior auths posthumously. You know what's even stupider is I do, I also take Ozempic, the real shit,

not any of those fake sebum glutides. No, I am actually the person who Ozempic was originally made for, because I am diabetic and it has helped my... Oh, I thought you meant literally you. Like they met with you and they're like, all right, we're going to find a way. I'm the reason it was invented.

They named it after him too. Yeah. Little known fact. My middle name. Bob Ozempic. I've been using Ozempic since before it was cool. That's the first one I got. Of all the medicines I take,

that's the one where I would understand if the insurance was like, does he need this or is he just trying to get skinny for free? Like, first of all, that part of it doesn't work for me. Not everyone gets skinny on Ozempik. I don't know if everyone knows that. Big disappointment on my end, but also no, I'm just tied up anyway. Mark, you talked about this a bunch. It's not news. If you're an American, you understand the horrors, but I'm trapped in the middle of trying to get prior authorizations for medicines I've been taking for almost a decade or more, in some cases, for a disease I've had since I was 17 years old, but whatever. They just want to check and make sure I'm still diabetic,

I guess. I don't know. Yeah. It's, uh, it's one of those things where I know there's a list of, you know, issues to tackle in this country, in our society. But, you know, I really wish that one would be tackled, you know, relatively sooner from what it's currently being tackled at, which is never. Because, yeah, it's absurd and everyone agrees that it's absurd. And some people agree so much that it's absurd that they take special action into these things. But our, you know, official elected leaders seem to not think it's a priority. Yeah. Funny how that works.

My bald stylist would just say, go to Turkey. They've got the cure for everything in Turkey. Probably get medicine. Every other country I've ever traveled to, I didn't get sick in all of them, but all the ones where I got sick or like when we were on tour, you guys had issues and stuff. Every other country, we were like, oh, God, Mark's getting sick. Fuck, how are we going to get doctors? And all the people in that country were like,

dude, come see a doctor. Medicine? Please. Oh my God, I hope you feel better. And we're just like, but how expensive was that? That was like, no bill? What the f- what? Shocking. Hour of my time, I got seen, consulted with a specialist, got my medicine, 20 bucks total. For your old twisty testes yeah korea was same way and i know korea has got some problems with their medical system right now i can't remember what was happening exactly i think there was a strike for one reason or another don't

know the full situation but even then it's still seeing someone same day a specialist ear nose and throat specialist same day same hour that I walked in, impossible to fathom in the States. Impossible. We've talked about this before, and I don't need to talk about it, but it's always flabbergasting and now I'm the one trapped in the hell of prior authorization. So that's fun. That's one of the joyous things I've had going on lately. Thankfully, I haven't had too much trouble. Seemed to be all right. That's the only thing that's keeping me from yelling at people on the phone,

because it's like, eventually, once all of this is all settled, it'll be okay for a minute. But, not there yet. Also, I wouldn't actually yell at people on the phone, but I do get, I get quite disgruntled. I try to be polite, but sometimes it's hard to not be like snarky. I don't remember the last time I've yelled at someone on the phone or at customers. I don't think I ever have.

The one and only time I've ever yelled through a cell phone was during the original Bob's fridge incident. I did actually yell at that fucking guy on the cell phone. He did not care for that. I did, I still feel bad about that, but also I feel like my anger was pretty, like pretty justified all around in that situation. Oh, you had a minor inconvenience or 30.

Anyway. Yeah. It's, I've been told by, you know, a therapist in the past that anger is not always a bad emotion. Sometimes anger is very a valid human emotion that needs to be tapped into. Are you sure therapist Palpatine? So Mark Fishbach, tell me about your anger. No, no, it's like that if, much like many things,

if you repress things, because I was, when I was a teenager, I was extremely angry all the time. So it was something that I worked on, But there's an unhealthy level of repression of certain emotions and it is normal in a regular life that you're going to be angry sometimes. It just so happens that there's many things out there to get people angry and intentionally so or unintentionally. But at the end of the day, sometimes, you know, anger does motivate you to things. The fuck you energy I have is technically some outlet of that anger. Every time I'm like, I'm going to prove them wrong, whoever wrong. That's kind of anger coming through in a little way.

And so you got to like, you know, release the pressure every once in a while. It's like our F your dreams, F your nightmares. I'm going to beat you t-shirts coming soon. I wouldn't promise too much. OK. New shirts edging soon. We've really been edging this merch for a very long time. It's gonna be quite explosive by the time it actually launches.

But listen, we haven't been doing this that long. I thought it might be a great time for us to discuss some classic icebreaker questions and really start to get to know each other.

You know, we all work together, we see each other at the office, we wave in the parking lot but do we really get to know each other on a personal level yet? I don't know. And I just want to, you know, foster a little community. And I thought we could just go over some icebreakers and, you know, maybe tell some stories, have some fun, make a little connection. Okay. Okay. I had a list of questions and then I opened another note and the first thing on that note

said clue, but with a lot of extra rules. It's like, I don't think that's one of my icebreakers I put on my list. I guess we're playing Clue now. It could be a good icebreaker. Miss Dorothy in the office with the knife. Mark gave us chess 2.0. I'm coming out here with Clue type B sometime soon, but that's a different episode.

Anyway, icebreakers, here we go. What thing from nature, excluding all animals and creatures, best describes your vibe? From all creatures? No creatures whatsoever. Just something from nature. Plants, rock formations, anything that's not a living creature. What thing in nature, including like the whole cosmos, asteroids and whatever, what thing describes your vibe? I know this one.

I know this one. I'm a stalactite, cause I'm inside and I'm just hanging out. I don't know why I felt guilty for laughing at that. That was a decent joke. It deserved a laugh. It was also true. I'm a homebody. I like to chill. chill so it was still like which one are you still like

tight tights are the one that hang I believe I had to look it up because I never remember the might versus tight I don't know how tight ceiling might floor I don't know it doesn't there's what's the connection clearly I know the difference my vibe my vibe guys my vibe the mighty redwood just tall powerful girthy as hell unstoppable well respected top of the tree food chain if you know what I mean that's probably how trees work Napoleon syndrome self centered trees get a lot of burls that everyone wants to come steal off you yeah yeah people always after my burls they are that's true yeah you're

like the Lucky Charms leprechaun of burls mm-hmm except you know a true tall leprechaun tall tree sure yeah whatever whatever you want uh-huh whatever that is an elf an elf are you saying an elf is a tall leprechaun? Yeah, why not? Have you ever seen a tall leprechaun and an elf in the same place? You got me there Yeah I think Lucky's kids like there's one that inherits the family business and the rest go to work for Santa. Who's Lucky? Lucky Charms. Is that his name? They're not called Lucky's Charms. They are Lucky Charms. Is that his name? They're not called Lucky's Charms.

They are Lucky Charms. Yeah, but he's also called Lucky. But he says they're always after me, Lucky Charms. They're after me, Lucky. Oh, there's a comma in there. There's several commas. They're always after me, Lucky. Lucky the leprechaun.

That doesn't make any sense! Also known as Sir Charms. Sir Charms? He's a knight? The mascot of Lucky Charms is Lucky the leprechaun. God damn. I mean, look, fair enough. I don't know about these things.

I don't have to give it, I don't have to defer to Mark. That's the nature of breaking the ice. All right, totally different direction. What, are you answering, Bob? I guess that's only us answering, but I'm curious what represents you I like to think of myself as the waves on The shoreline the Michigan shoreline of Lake Michigan pretty chill

But capable of going red flag and getting pretty wild but generally pretty chill Salty, right? No, Lake Michigan. Aren't the Great Lakes salt water? No, they would not be lakes if they were salt water. I thought they were salt water, I don't know. They're lakes. Isn't there, oh, is it called a sea if it's land bound but salty?

Oh, the Great Lakes are fresh water, but they become saltier doing crea, okay. They're not salt water, but they are saltier. Yeah, they connect to the Atlantic Ocean, but it's a long connection and they're very big. There's a long connection and those are called brackish waters when fresh mixes with salt. And...

Eee. Eee. I'm that, that's my vibe. Eee. Eee. All right, I think we've talked about this one before, but I don't remember that's my vibe. Hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe hehehe hehehe hehehe hehehe hehehe he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he And I don't know why it once showed up in my top Emoji list and I don't I've never used it before but now I always use it because it's just always there It's that yours. Wait. Yep The I don't even know how to describe that what face is that?

Gritted teeth face? I don't know that. But he's not smiling. It's in my top three It's the gridded teeth the heart emoji and then the shrug is the guy going like the shrug is appropriate for you. I can see you texting that a lot to people. Actually these are these are my next most used emojis. Those make sense. I don't know why you have a water polo player.

I don't know. I don't know. Wait, what is this? My third most used emoji is an Apple genmoji of a lion playing football. I guess I text about lions football a lot to people. Also my number one, I just want to say is the fork and knife sitting next to each other. And it's because that's what I call Fortnite

in text message forms. So I text text there's several groups that I'm in where I'm like hey you guys want a fork knife okay or fortnight and water polo living in your guys heads I don't know what the deal is with the football line I swear I use other emojis other I made that once I think we have talked about that but I just can't I just wanted to know, you know? So water polo, fork and knife, and gritted teeth. It makes sense when you don't think about it. Yeah.

Alright, this one won't be contentious. I know we're only just getting to know each other, but this is kind of a question for all three of us, but mostly for you two. If you could be one of the other two people on this call, who would you choose to be? How long term is this? Say swap until you both agree to swap back. Well, if one of you picked me, you'd never go back. So I'm kind of scared.

I'll call that bluff. I'll take it. I'll take Wade. Wade, you don't get to take me though. You get, we have to circularly trade. I wouldn't, you're short. I want, I want to keep my height, so I'm taking Bob. All right, well, you're gonna, you're gonna get down to my

height and your knees aren't gonna hurt and your hips aren't gonna hurt and your back's gonna be fine. So I have to be Mark then? Is that what we've just decided? Well I think you still get a choice but Mark and I apparently don't. Don't listen, don't make it be like that. I know I said it like that but don't take it like that. You be whoever you want to be. I was gonna pick you for height. I like height. I was honestly thinking about picking Mark partially because it's hard to imagine what the world looks like from such a short height. It's only a six inch difference, man. Also,

you could finally get a movie out unlike someone we know. Mark just has so many like hobbies and stuff. And I feel like I'm, I'm in a similar vein, but I'm just less committed than Mark to my hobbies. So I'll, I'll like, I'll sit here and I'll learn like right now I'm learning a lot about woodworking for hobby reasons, but I don't do it. If I was Mark, I would have a whole, I would have tools. I would have made a chair at this point. I guess I, I admire Mark's dedication to just like doing actually doing shit instead of just sitting around. But I think yeah it's just a

body swap right it's a mind stage. I know but if I was in your body then I'd basically I'd behave more like you. I'm just I'm just throwing that out there I'm just assuming. There is a mind-body connection I know that and I guess if you're considering like the brain the way it's configured but I was assuming we're just gonna ignore that. soft is the whole mind body problem I mean this is we can can or cannot address the philosophical side of this question as much as we choose to but Plus you already have a bunch of cool stuff Like I'm never gonna I'm not gonna have like the workshop and you've been working on the workshop that sounds

Really fun to me. You could build a bitch in garage workshop with not a lot, but we keep our cars in our garage cause we live in a place where that fucking snows and shit. Forget that. Forget that. Oh, but the snow, the snow mark. Forget it. The snow. Basement workshop too. That's pretty good too. I mean, it's the storage room, but there's like a whole, there's a side room down here that's sort of like the utility storage room that could be kind of workshoppy. It could be you don't have to start big really what I've identified is going to a

Ryobi sale and buying all of the tools that are on sale is not a good way to get anything done. Apparently this is not the best don't matter how many free batteries you get don't do it it doesn't matter how much of a steal it is. It's just going to take up space. Yeah. You could slowly build out something or you could quickly build out something. There's always like great deals to get used sets of things. Oh, there's so much you could do. Or you could play Monster Hunter and build a new set of armor every time you kill a new monster. No, the used tool market. I am excited about Monster Hunter and probably after this, that's what I'm going to go do. But the used tool market. I am excited about Monster Hunter, and probably after this, that's what I'm gonna go do.

But the used tool market is interesting. There's so much good shit out there. It is, and the technology for everything is turning over so fast, there's always a cycle of people getting rid of old tools that aren't even old. They're completely functional. It's true. If you want or need tools,

or if you're trying to get into a hobby that requires tools, definitely check out, like, I just sit and I just look on Facebook Marketplace a lot, but there's a lot like, there's also like forums, like reddits and stuff. I'm like, there's so many, like, there's so many good tools that are already out there. You might as well just get a use one. Did you see Michael Reeves Facebook Marketplace video? Yes. Yeah. With the, with the low balling bots. The gaslighting bot. God, that was so funny.

The editing on that one was particularly insane as well. I don't know why. But yeah, Wade, you gotta check out Michael Reeve's Facebook Marketplace video. I'm not a Facebook Marketplace guy, but Amy looks at Facebook Marketplace and finds tons of great deals there. I don't use Facebook anymore, but if I did, I would go there. I'm annoyed that I have to go through Facebook to look at Facebook Marketplace, but like Craigslist isn't really a thing anymore.

And there are other like apps and things that are sort of in that vein, but around here Facebook Marketplace is definitely the best. Oh, this guy gets way too many views. I only watch small creators. He's pretty small. He's even shorter than Mark, I think. Yeah, probably. Not height. I watch tall creators that get small amounts of views. I only watch small creators. He's pretty small. He's even shorter than Mark, I think. Yeah, probably. Not height. I watch tall creators that get small amounts of views. Is it a bot that scams people? Is that the video I need? Yeah, that's it. I'm also was just surprised how effective it was. I think he might have just got a lot of luck. I have no idea, but it was the whole premise

worked out so much better than I would have expected. Who, if you're selling the sticker was the most surprising because if you're selling a sticker that's listed for five bucks and you accept it for three, I'm not going to drive somewhere to give it. I waste more in gas. If I had a gas car, then I would make it the money off of the sticker. Yeah. I don't know. Anyway, maybe you hope they come back, you know, repeat customers.

That's what it's all about. There's a lot of Facebook's marketplace sticker resellers out there, you know? I feel like an ice wall is forming between you two and I right now. You don't have to like everything we like, we're all just bonding over things. We're bonding.

Bond. All right, I don't know why I like this one, but I feel compelled to ask this, because I can't know why I like this one, but I feel compelled to ask this because I can't let it go if you could safely eat Any inedible object like from now to eternity you could always eat this object What would it be? It's nothing I would want to eat. This is like a you have to right? Yeah, you have to this is a thing that you have to pick tacos. Oh I Know I know I know This is a thing that you have to pick tacos. Oh I

Know I know I know Lava because that would offer up some pretty interesting party tricks and also suggesting I have really Incredible heat tolerance of some time if I could eat it your shit would be wild I wouldn't do it a lot But imagine like a villains trying to lure me into a volcano and I'm like no, oh no not this You just eat your way out my first thought was chapstick because it smells so good like there's a cherry one I'm pretty sure you just can eat chapstick if you want to I think it's probably fine. I would eat Garbage. Oh

Then I wouldn't have to deal with it or throw probably fine. I would eat garbage. Oh. Then I wouldn't have to deal with it or throw it away. There wouldn't be a mess. I could just get rid of it. I feel like that's a little bit general, but I actually had the exact same thought. And we've thought a lot alike lately and it's usually not ended well for me.

Yeah, no, it never works out very well for you. I don't know if, I mean, it doesn't really matter. I don't know if I would say that counts or not, but I like it. What I landed on was I had that same thought and I was like, well, maybe garbage is too vague. I would eat plastic because a lot of plastic is not even recyclable and even plastic that is technically recyclable is not broadly recycled in some places and it's not efficient to recycle it. You might like manufacturers might as well just chuck it and make a new one out of new material because it's so much cheaper and simpler they don't have to like clean it or do any bullshit to it.

If I could just eat plastic I'm curious what my poops would be like and if I would like digest it or if it would just go through me but if I could eat it and like make it go away, you know, physically speaking, I feel like that would be awesome. I'm assuming eat means you digest it. If I could eat plastic and digest it into poop, that would be awesome. I would do that. That would be very cool. But if I could just eat garbage in general, I feel like that would encompass

my my idea and I would idea and that was my pick. The setup doesn't say anything about it tasting any differently, so it potentially still would just taste like garbage. You could safely eat it, but that doesn't mean that you would enjoy it or whatever. A little bit of salt and butter and it'd be fine. You could make the garbage into garbage loaf, season it up a little. Shit zanya, shit flambe, shit kebab. Shit kebab.

Wait, no, why does it have to be shit? What do you mean garbage kebab? It's just like shit stuff. This is just for the fun of saying shit kebab. It's really boring that Wade and I thought the same thing. I'm gonna take some points away for that. That sounds fair. What is the worst piece of advice you've ever been given?

And when did you realize it was bad advice? I don't know if this is true, but the first one I thought of was finish what you start. Because I don't finish a single fucking game I play. Imagine for life, never finish. You just think that's bad advice because you're incapable of following it or? I think so. I feel like that sounds like decent advice. You'd think it would.

I also don't follow that advice. So I'm totally with you, but. I think the worst advice I have ever received was probably something to do with investing in foreign exchange currencies. I remember Forexmark. I remember that. That was a phase, man. It was a very brief window.

And you know, it was crazy because I was like, oh yeah, I got the strats. I know what to do. I got some money. I've been working this job I'm and then you know that oh that story ends with me in a bathroom Stall hunched over my cell phone watching a red line just go down and down and down and down Sweating like oh I should I should I could cancel it, but it might go back up. Oh, I guess still going down Yeah, so I lost about I lost about 40% of my money

in one move and then I never did it again. Honestly, of all the different types of like fast paced day trading stuff, Forex does strike me as one of the things where if you just develop a really simple system of rules and you don't do anything crazy, you kind of could probably make a little bit of money at it, but it's just probably not worth that much.

Yeah. You're to the whims of an unknown world. But now we got crypto dude. Imagine if crypto had existed the way it does now when you were, when you got into that, cause that was in college or is it directly following college? That's like in college. It was in college. Yeah.

And it was, it was pretty early on. It would have been around the same time that crypto, the idea might've just been getting started, but. That like Bitcoin existed, but it was still sort of more for the Silk Road than anything else. But I'll be perfectly honest, even if I had started when it started, I would have sold so long ago. It would have hit like $1 and I would have been like, oh, I made so much money.

No, imagine we when we were in college and Bitcoin released, you could buy Bitcoins for like cents a coin. You could mine it on your computer and get tons of it. Yeah, it was worthless. Fucking imagine. There probably are stories of people who did hold for that long or like lost their wallet and found it back. Whatever. But what do you do? Like how do you sell Bitcoin? Who buys it? Like

it's worth so much money. Bro, the blockchain bro. What do you mean? Everyone's like Bitcoin's worth so much, but no one ever gets their money from it. It's just, it's just worth so much. It's, it's worth so much because there are specific exchanges on which you can buy and sell crypto and it primarily has value because of and on those exchanges. It's not any different from other money except that it's not backed by any specific government or whatever for its value. It has value because everyone collectively agrees it has value and you can... But can you ever get anything?

You can use it in some places to buy things Sometimes some really cool web 3 companies are like, yeah, we take USD Apple pay and Bitcoin and so you can pay for your whatever service in Bitcoin But it's it's not really, no, not seriously. It's almost always traded back for money. I'm keeping my advice. Finish what you start. Was it a specific person that got you into foreign exchange stuff, or was it

just like a thing you sort of came across and- No, it was just, I must've saw some video or some guide online that everyone's like, hey, come on. I was so close. If I had any money when you were doing that, I was like, I watched. I had like screens pulled up with like all the charts and shit and I would sit there and I learned a bit

about the patterns, but I didn't actually have money. So it was very theoretical for me. But I had had money though, man. I guess the importance of a college degree would also be like... I feel like college was important. The degree itself... Wait until you're thinking like me again. That's what I was gonna say. College. But like I still think education is important. Just the degree itself maybe isn't as useful, but I'm glad I had philosophy. I feel like the thing about

that that I have a gripe with, because I'm in no way am I anti-education, the thing about that that I have a gripe with is specifically, kind of like what you're saying, the four-year college degree. Yeah. We spent our entire, any time since I can remember from being in school and being a kid, all of the guidance counselors and everyone, teachers and everyone were like, yeah, you want to go to college. That's the goal. You get the four year degree. A lot of people, I think benefit from a four year degree. It gives you career opportunities that you otherwise

might not be able to get. But a lot of people didn't benefit from it and are not benefiting from it and should have avoided that completely because there are associate's degrees, there are other pathways, there are apprenticeship programs, they're not as plentiful as they could or should be maybe and it's like, it's not like it was 50 or 80 or 100 years ago where you could just go straight out of high school or not even go to high school and go find somewhere and make a career necessarily. But some people just don't fucking need to go to college and it's not because they're not smart enough and it's not because they're like less or what,

like it's nothing like that. They're just not, they don't thrive in school. They thrive in a place where they're doing something, where they're building something, where they're like, it's just not, school isn't something that everyone is equally suited for. And it fucking sucks, because I've had friends who were really bright people,

who were really smart, who got sucked into college and were just fucking hated it and thought that they were so stupid because they couldn't like thrive in college the way that they saw other friends and classmates doing and they are not stupid it's not doesn't work that way I always I find that very frustrating but it's a particular thing because I am very much pro education But there are lots different ways to learn shit in the world and turn that into a way to have like a job and a career In a life, but that's a weird thing to talk about in the world that we live in because we hardly know each other Yeah, we're basically strangers, but that listen kids, you know

Listen to oh fucking I just touched my pen to my lens. Are you okay lens? I don't care, you're a cheap lens. Let's be honest. Did you zoom in to see if you could see the lens better? Yeah, I'm looking at the lens up close. Not actually zooming in, I'm just moving my face closer to it to look at it.

It's an optical illusion. Well, this one's interesting because we all live in different places. And by all of us, I mean one of us. What's your favorite thing about the place that you live? It doesn't have to even be like your top favorite thing, but like pick a favorite thing. Pick a thing you want to talk about that's like a favorite thing about the place that you live.

For me, the weather's great and that can't be beat. Obviously there's, you know, natural disasters, but I'm not talking about that. Weather's great. And that can't be beat. Obviously, there's, you know, natural disasters. I'm not talking about that. Weather is is great. There are tons of opportunities for my career out here that work really well for me. Met a ton of people here. There's a lot of this is kind of like weirdly specific,

but there's a lot of and I'm not saying there aren't in Ohio, but there's a lot of really specifically at ambitious people here. And so there's a higher likelihood of meeting those other ambitious types that really want to kind of independently focus in like self-starting. And so that's, that's been really appealing and good for me to meet. And it's usually they come from other places. They're all over the country and the world, but this is one of the hubs where a lot of those people congregate.

So I think that's good. I'm not a people person, but it's really, really handy to be able to meet people that are really skilled in certain specific skills and they're all in one place or within like an hour's drive. So that's cool. You do have to be a certain kind of crazy and or just really motivated to like actually make it work in LA. Cause it's of all the cities I've been to LA is one

of the more unpleasant, but also one of the craziest. There's pleasant parts of it. Downtown LA. Kind of shit that goes on in LA is wild. Yeah. It's, it's, it's, it's a story every day. Five syllables. Cincinnati. Okay, we don't learn a lot of counting in Ohio. Not what we're here for. We're here for the tree. Education. That's really, that's what your favorite things is. Uh, like you said, that's my favorite.

You just said pick a, I said one of your favorite things. One of my favorite thing. That's just the thing that I wouldn't think is up there for so many people. I, it is for me is why I'm surprised. I'm a big skyline fan in particular, but look, I've got family and friends here. There's a lot of restaurants, familiarity, comfort, I think cost of living. I think it's beautiful here. Those are all great things, but man, I can't imagine living in a place where I can't get

Cincinnati chili. The only substitute here is there is a place in Burbank. I think that has a Cincinnati native that made a Cincinnati chili place. Oh, that's cool. I haven't been there yet, but I think it exists. I'm fairly sure. I just know how it is. But yeah, I don't know, man. I like my Skyline, my Goldstar. I've not tried Blue Ash Chili yet. I want to try it, but like, it's one of the things that's, I can't see myself leaving behind. There's one that opened in Orlando, someone that trained in our hometown of Milford. There's a Skyline there. They opened a location down in Orlando, Florida.

It'll never be as good as it is here. No, for sure. No, I don't disagree. It's, it is something we went back. I had it twice, maybe three times actually, well, in the time I was around. That's a lot. You still counting, Wade? I just, I really thought I had it. You almost did, man. You almost did. Don't beat yourself up about it. Cincinnati chili. That's how I did it, but I was like, Cincinnati chili.

Perfect. That's like how, how like third graders do syllables when they're learning it. They're just like, you just make your fingers go at like the same speed as you're talking. You ever do the chin one where you count syllables? Cincinnati chili. No. They count syllables. Neverenta, nata, chile? No. No?

They count syllables but- Never heard of that one, not even a little bit. My chin doesn't really move that- well, it does- it moves a bit. It doesn't move very much when I talk. No, but you exaggerate it when you're trying to do the cello eyeballs. I think I probably don't do that one for that exact reason. Okay. What is one skill you think everyone should possess, regardless of who they are or what they do?

Communication. Broad, but I like it. God, man, the ability to talk and communicate, listen and speak, the most important in relationships, light, everything. So many things are just, they go wrong in everything because of lack of communication, proper communication. This is kind of robbing that one a little bit, but I think in specificity, I think everyone

should speak a second language. That's a little different, but I see what you're going with it. And again, I'm not fluent in Korean. I'm trying. But automatically, it opens up your worldview to know another language. Because in that, you can interact with at least one more culture. And that's big.

In America, if everyone also spoke Spanish, there would be an incredible larger part of interaction happening with people, like from Mexico or Spanish descent or anything like that. And then Spanish also is a gateway language to, like, French and Italian and all those other romance languages. And so there's just, it would, I believe it would probably be a net good. There's still be plenty of people that are prejudiced and biased that it doesn't stop

anyone, doesn't make anyone a miraculously good person or fix everything, but it would, it would, they would at least be literate because if they could speak to, well, maybe not. There's people that speak multiple languages, don't read it, but there'd be a little more going on up here. You know what I mean? Well, your answers make mine seem pretty frivolous now. My, my thing that I landed on was cooking, which is a little broad, but if communication is allowed to be one, I think cooking. You don't need to know how to cook to survive, but I feel like if more people had a fundamental base of cooking, like basic cooking skills, it just makes life that little bit better.

When you're, especially in the world that we live in, like you don't always have a lot of money for fancy ingredients or nicer higher-end ingredients. Sometimes you get the same stuff week after week. You live in a world of a lot of like rice and beans and things. Simple ingredients can be just as delicious as fancy expensive ingredients. It takes more technique and knowledge maybe but that's a thing right if I know people who like don't like eating now or or have some specific foods that they won't eat and not for reasons like Wade where like cilantro tastes like soap and that's like a genetic thing they just

like they think they don't like food but the problem is they grew up and like they're both parents were working and that you know food was secondary. They ate what they ate. It was a lot of canned stuff or whatever can be delicious. And I feel like when food is delicious it just sort of improves your overall quality of life. But it's hard to argue that people should spend a lot of time cooking or learning about cooking when you know shit's hard. Now that feels stupid, so thank you, you made me feel really stupid, thanks guys. That was our goal, denada, right Mark? Denada.

Pronounce denados, Wade, it's a pizza place. Oh, denados. Anyway, I had some other ones, but as per usual, I hate them now, even though I took the time to write them down. So I don't wanna talk about those. I think that was enough, I think the ice is broken, I think we know each other better now. Now we can all stop pretending to be friends and get the fuck back to work. So you guys want to get together, get some chli? God no. Can't wait for

this conversation to be over. Go on. Back to your cubicles everybody. I will read the points now in a perfunctory manner. Oh wait no. Should I wait? Should I forget? Do we do the wheels first? Should we do the wheels first? We usually do wheel last but you can do whatever order you want man. I just don't even it's all different now. All right I'll read the points. Mark you got points for cool surgery. I've never finished in my life. Gurthy redwood water polo emoji and eat love. emoji and eat love all right eat lava eat lava yeah that means love I've got that on my wall wait you earn points for poo poo water book Palpatine therapist I'm a stalactite loser like me eat garbage and five syllables I'm gonna go talk to my palpatine therapist after this episode.

You might think I was prepared to roll a three sided die. This is kind of a disadvantage for me, but I want to go with shirt is closest to their own background. Yippee. Wait, hold on. You're welcome. It's got to be in there somewhere. Sorry, the sign is not Wade Flesh toned. Yeah, it's kind of Mark today, but Wade, you wear a lot of like gray shirts and I do have purple shirts that I wear sometimes.

And I usually wear dark shirts, so this is uncommon. Something about today, something about that shirt tone, it is an unusual color for you. You wear a lot of like dark stuff and like greens and and if I wear a green shirt and I tell the editors to green screen it out does that count because then I'd just be a floating hit I mean I don't get to see that but we can talk about it when it happens okay oh anyway three-sided die well I got a two all, so we're doing that who spins I did not tell you Who is ahead? I wasn't counting either. So I have no idea. It's Wade. Wade is ahead Okay, and there are two spins. So I'm sure nothing bad will happen to me

Okay, that's not gonna do To my swagger slatter each time I don't know how to make that be not loud All right point point for what was it? Point for listeners Viewers, listeners. No, viewers. It was viewers because viewers disappeared and it's on listeners now Well I'm just gonna write listeners and you're just gonna have zero points on this scorecard So you're gonna be in fourth place listeners And spin number two! Hopefully with no sound fucking destroying your eardrums

Again? Oh shit Ahhhh hopefully with no sound fucking destroying your eardrums again oh shit I have I felt pretty confident about every one of my answers I'm pretty sure that I could say that it was me strong Lee threw it I looked for some punch lines he was locked in during the small talk and I was making light of it I would say I would say mark was more locked in than I was. I was definitely more locked in. I'll accept it. Mark gets the point for being most locked in, which makes the One! Woo! Wade... Seven... And Mark... Six!

Oh. Fuck. Which means that Wade wins! Wow. What a way to mislead that. Why did you get so excited? I was so ready for it, man. I know usually if I'm red first it's not a good thing but yeah alright real subversion.

You were just really invested in that one I felt it. Anyway congratulations Wade. Thank you is it winter speech time? Yeah winter speech it away go for it buddy. Bob great episode as always thank you for having me Mark it was well thought you were locked in you were right there But ultimately it comes down to Palpatine and chli and if you don't have those two things in your life What really do you have sure words have never been uttered out of Wade's mouth mark lose a speech. Oh

This was unfair. I've been Fuck I allow it. I mean we're giving the speeches but Look, I guess technically if we're gonna do this. What's unfair is Wade is winning. So if mark wins by by mark wins, but if if it is deemed fair Wade gets double win. I don't know what that means, but. I'll take it! So heads for Mark, tails for me? Yeah, so if three heads,

Mark actually wins this episode. The score doesn't change, Mark just wins this episode. If three tails, Wade double wins this episode. Whatever the fuck that means. He gets two wins for the season championship, which probably ended by now. I don't remember. It's almost definitely maybe over. Who cares? I mean, who knows? I do care. I want the trophy. But anyway, flip them boys! There's heads!

Heads. Fails. AHHHHH! Oh man! fails oh man I wanted to cheat so bad I did too but the other way oh I saw it lay ahead and I was like what do I do this bad for me anyway mark continue your loser speech now that we have deemed that completely fair. It's legally declared to be fair, so I have no right to complain. I need to tear up my previous loser speech, which was going to end in my follow-up winner speech I was going to read.

Now I'm left with a nothing speech where I feel like nothing, am nothing, and will never accomplish anything. I am not a mighty redwood. I am a lowly dandelion, just blowing away in the wind. Cheers! Thank you everyone for competing. Excellent use of the unfair bit, Mark. I respect it.

I look forward to that coming up later on. We should make a rule that it can only be if there's a one point margin. Because otherwise it was clearly pretty fair. We won't remember that. I don't remember it. I remember. I remember. Anyway, make sure you follow Mark and Wade on their YouTube channels and social media

stuff. And I have those things too. And make sure you follow the podcasts because then your devices will tell you every time there's a new one. It's Mondays and Fridays, but but you know just in case you forget. Thank you so much for watching or listening to another episode of your favorite podcast. That's it for this one. Wade is gonna host the next one. Till then, podcast out.
