Starting point is 00:01:04 gets naked on set, and mound mound pounce but still cannot sign. Blunderbuss Bob is petrified of possums, slices up his steed, refuses a rock career and declines Deutsch. From harrowing images to megalophobia. Yes! It's time for... Quitter! Now sit back and prepare to be distracted and enjoy the show! Hey everyone, welcome back to another episode of Distracted Align! Today's host, Wade.
Starting point is 00:01:36 Why? Because I won the last episode. Welcome to the show where one of us hosts the other two compete for points on whatever game the host wants to play. The winner, who usually has to have the most points at the end will host the next episode. And as always, my two co-hosts, Mark and Bob, are here. Hello. Hello.
Starting point is 00:01:52 I don't know why, but I thought you were going to say the winner usually is Bob. He's been on a roll lately, you know, just feels good. Been really killing it. I don't know. I don't know if we should disagree to that. That doesn't seem quite right. Nah, that's how it is. It's true.
Starting point is 00:02:04 Confidence right there. He's just already proclaiming himself the winner. Yeah, well, I just figured. Alright, well, welcome to the show where the winner is usually Bob. Thank you. And Mark and I are also here. Well, alright, you know what? I'm not gonna fight it. It's very gracious of you guys to participate in the show that I win so much. I appreciate that.
Starting point is 00:02:20 Yeah. But what about this? That's the least confident way I could ever say anything, ever. Well, what about this? What about this? Oh. What the? What the shit? I don't know, I just saw the sunlight. Oh, no. For anyone listening, you're not missing out on much.
Starting point is 00:02:41 There's a poster in Japan, I believe believe and there's a baby saying something in Japanese But it has received a lot of direct sunlight for a very long time But the way that it has kind of burned the image just feels like this baby is slowly shifting into a horrifying Baby a little bit. I like that it appears in the third version where it's the most demon-y. The text is still perfectly bright red and crisp. Like someone came and was like, oh, just repaint over this text to make sure they can still read our sign. Yeah, it's really something. I thought the sun would wash the image a little bit, not give them like, goth makeup. The things that are dark are the eyes and the mouth, because the mouth is open.
Starting point is 00:03:24 It looks like the dark ink is bleeding for whatever reason Maybe it gets a lot of rain and sun or something. Yeah Anyway, that's got to be worth some points, right? I'll mark something. All right. I'll listen to the strokes and hear how many points I'm getting Zero points is what I heard. I didn't hear anything. Yeah, I got the world small talky bit. How are you guys while you're looking up pictures of something? Good. I have a sad story if I want to pile on to my winning streak. So far we have confidence, we have horror, we have despair. What else you got? I got a true story. Very sad. Well? Those are always sad. Can I tell it? I don't know if I have permission. Well?
Starting point is 00:04:25 Yes, you have permission. Okay, alright. So yesterday, Chica went outside and she was really sniffing around this, we were throwing out a weighted blanket. It was not a very good weighted blanket, so the weights inside kind of shifted and it's terrible. So we were throwing it out. And so she was really interested in
Starting point is 00:04:45 something in this blanket and we're like, did a mouse get in there or something? Is there like a rat trapped in there? So I go over there and I shoo her away and I take a look and I just peer around, see a little fuzzy tail, tiny. And I look and it's like, ah, no, there's a dead... It wasn't a squirrel. It was smaller than that. It was like a chipmunk with a long tail or like maybe a small squirrel. So I go inside, I try to find something. I'm gonna, you know, dispose the body, kachika inside. I go back out there, it's still breathing.
Starting point is 00:05:11 I get close and I look and it's still breathing. I'm just, I sit there and I look at it for a very long time and it just like, it's barely moving, like barely moving, but I can see that it's breathing. And I was almost like, oh man, should I put it out of its misery? And it gave out this tiny little like squeak, like the tiniest little little idiot squeak and I went, holy shit. So I get it up off the ground. I don't know if it's like sick or something or anything like that. So I'm trying to be careful. You know, I pick it up with like a piece of cardboard. I put it in a thing with like some blankets being like, maybe it's maybe it's cold. Maybe like, cause it wasn't too hot too hot last night but it was colder it was on the ground and maybe it got like stuck under the
Starting point is 00:05:48 weighted blanket somehow like it was trying to find you know a burrow it fell on top of it i don't know what happened i get it in there and it's like it's there and like does it need water or something so i take a little little straw and i i dab the tiniest drop of water like right here on its lip i don't know if this is the right thing to do, but I'm like, if it was exhausted all night, it responded to it. It didn't seem like it was dying, but it almost like reached up as if it was like,
Starting point is 00:06:12 oh, fucking water. And so I gave it a few more and it started to recover. And this chipmunk looked old. Like it had really a lot of gray in the rest of its fur, big white stripes across its face. It doesn't necessarily mean anything sure for sure for sure But for like a outdoor animal it did look like it was probably aged a bit So I kept giving it water I wrapped it up in a little blanket and tried to like keep it warm and it started to like recover more and more
Starting point is 00:06:40 To the point where it saw me and went oh what the fuck the fuck? And so I left it alone for a bit. I put it outside of a window where I could see it. And I just kept watching it and I gave it some more water. I eventually gave it a little dish and tried to put some, some seeds out there. I brought it inside because there were some gardeners coming and they were going to, you know, leaf blowers and all that. I didn't want that to bother it. And so it was inside and it actually got to the point where it was like, it
Starting point is 00:07:02 looked like it was trying to like get comfortable in the blankets, like it was uncomfortable. So I was like, oh, it's okay. I tried to leave it as alone as much as I can. And I stepped away for five minutes and I came back and in that time, like just in that time it passed away. Like I missed it by that much. And I was really, really broken up about it because, and not that I didn't expect it, it was just like, ah man, it was probably on its last leg anyway, you know, old and exhausted.
Starting point is 00:07:27 It was super weird because it recovered enough to the point where it freaked out at first to me and then I was like trying to like take care of it a little more. I wasn't giving it any more water at that point. I was like, if it wants water, there's a dish, it can kind of crawl around a little bit. But yeah, it just like, um, I stepped away and I came back and it was, you know, just at some point there. I didn't know chipmunk CPR, so I didn't try that or anything, but it, I just had hoped that it was comfortable.
Starting point is 00:07:52 It was just a weird little, little moment to connect with nature a little bit. So yeah, it's weird how quickly I went from like, oh no, a dead animal to like, holy shit, uh, I guess I'll try you know but who knows what you can do yeah I had a pet mice for a while I think I told the story about the female mouse I watched her pass away and it was something similar where she got to a point where I was watching she could barely move and she was like making this little like whine noise and then she's kind of like collapsed it was very sad I mean what can you do you tried which is nice but ultimately at least it
Starting point is 00:08:22 wasn't on the cold hard ground trapped under a weighted blanket, you know Or being eaten by a dog. Yeah, I mean Chica was like Excitedly looking at sniffing close I I don't think that she did anything to it because it didn't seem like it had you know It didn't seem like it had a broken bone or anything like that It just seemed like it had been fighting a weighted blanket and got exhausted So I feel partially responsible to like dump at the weighted blanket there to not doing something. But I guess, you know, all I said, you know, after I did a little burial, you know, Amy got some flowers and we actually buried it outside and
Starting point is 00:08:54 put some flowers over it. And I was just like, ah, I hope you hope you're at least comfortable. I'm sure you did great many chipmunk things and dust to dust earth to earth. Blap. Threw some dirt on it. Gave it the weighted blanket. Yeah, I figured you liked that. Buried it in the weighted blanket that killed it. It's like the hamster I buried in the shoe box that killed it. This is a very sweet moment. It took like six hours out of my morning but I don't know. It seemed worth it. That's nice. I'll give you a made chipmunk comfortable point. Aw, thanks. I think it was a chipmunk. It might've just been like a very small. Well, did he look like Alphen or?
Starting point is 00:09:28 Yeah, except, you know, it had a long. Oh, yeah, no, a Townsend chipmunk. That's exactly what it was. Did you tell Townsend what happened? Uh, maybe. You killed Townsend's chipmunk? I might have, you know, guys. Oh, yeah, maybe.
Starting point is 00:09:41 Maybe actually, you know, it might have not been old. I see these the picture of these specific chipmunks, which is what it looked like it does have big white stripes So maybe it wasn't as old. Oh, no No, it some of these other ones have like not as much white like across their head This one's whole head also was like all half gray. So who knows or maybe not? I don't know well either was or wasn't a chipmunk and it was or wasn't old No, it was chipmunk for sure and now it is or isn't dead So it was buried alive or dead
Starting point is 00:10:08 No, I made sure I mean I saw it when it was No, I mean I saw it when it was almost dead at first and then it recovered and then Literally by the time I came back it was very clear at best. That's fair. So who knows, maybe it wasn't old at all. Bob, you throw anything away that killed the innocent creatures like the plastic on six packs of cans or anything like that? Oh, I love, I take those rings off cans and stuff and I just, I hurl them joyously into
Starting point is 00:10:40 the nature just because I know something's going to get stuck in there. You ever see turtles swimming around with the big plastic rings around there, one leg in their neck? That was me, baby. That whole time Mark was telling that story I was trying to come up with a joke about like, oh yeah I found a baby next to my trash can. A human baby. I couldn't. Yeah, I think, yeah, no, it's probably good that you didn't So we got some flowers dug a hole. I found a guy
Starting point is 00:11:10 facedown he was in his 60s maybe I don't know he looked kind of old. And before anyone gets on my case yes I wash my hands a lot and no I didn't handle it directly you know in case it was sick or something. I took precautions but also at the same time I was just like just a cute little guy or girl or whatever.
Starting point is 00:11:26 Looks up, just frothing foam at the mouth. I don't know what I would have done, but we did have that one time where there was a possum. I think it was a relatively young or a baby possum we found in our yard. Lexi found in our yard in California. It was already dead because it had been like a cold rainy night and I don't know what happened but it had some kind of injury something happened and I don't think it was Lexi because she's scared of everything but uh if it had been alive I don't know what I would have done because possums scare me. Chipmunk not so scary but still like yeah you don't want to
Starting point is 00:11:59 touch it too much you don't know if it's how healthy it is or whatever but I don't know man that's very brave hopefully he had a nice end of life. I hope so you know if it's how healthy it is or whatever, but I don't know, man. That's very brave. Hopefully he had a nice end of life. I hope so. You know, honestly, it didn't look that uncomfortable. You know, it didn't freak out too much. I wasn't around it all the time because I didn't want just to look up and see just, are you okay little buddy?
Starting point is 00:12:16 Are you hurt? You know, I didn't want to do that. But yeah, yeah, I guess. I hope. At least warm, you know. That's all I can hope for. Heck, maybe I drowned it trying to give it a little water. Who knows. Go inside and like, how to take care of Chick-Monk.
Starting point is 00:12:29 Never give water. Chick-Monks don't drink water. It kills them. I did not drip into its mouth. I literally touched the tiniest drop of water to its lip. That's all I did. I got a washcloth and I soaked it in water, put it over its face, and then I got a water drip to make sure the washcloth didn't run out. Yeah, no, I didn't wanna handle it too much,
Starting point is 00:12:52 so I took two little strings and tied it to his back legs and sort of suspended him upside down over a slab. But I wanted him to have enough fresh water so he had to have a kind of drip going on, you know? Yeah, I ran the water down the string and it kind of ran over it. And so I figured it would get to its mouth eventually. And also it's like a shower, so, you know.
Starting point is 00:13:12 I figured if half of them was underwater and the other half was on fire, they'd balance out. That's one normal chipmunk. Too far, man. Have you guys seen the meme about the instructions? It's like a person looking at an electronic thing and there's a voice that's like, all right, you should have found a black cable plugged into the back. And the person is like, and like unplugs it. And the instruction is like, never unplug the black cable. And they're like, ah, and they plug it back in. And the
Starting point is 00:13:41 instructions like, if you already have unplugged the black cable, never plug it back in and the instructions like if you already have unplugged the black cable never plug it back Don't know why that just right I guess the instructions that's me that's fair No, you shouldn't light it on fire But if you want to give it one make sure it's warm while it's drinking water you boil the water before you give it So make sure it's nice and hot. Yeah, honestly, I'm shocked I even noticed that it was still breathing because it looked like it was just eyes open. An ant was crawling over its eyeball.
Starting point is 00:14:11 I was like, oh, this thing's dead. But then I saw it breathing. I was like, holy shit. So the fact that it even like got back up a little bit after all was like miraculous to me. Grabbed you by the collar and was just like, kill me. I need your help. You need to kill me
Starting point is 00:14:26 anyway that's it well I don't have any stories that rival that I have a normal life it's a normal life that's normal I think that's like some Disney main character shit right there what do you have any Disney side character shit um I'm secretly in love with one of my best friends. Well, okay, alright, go on. Let me get some tea, hold on. Let me go get some ketchup. Hold on, go on.
Starting point is 00:14:52 Which one of us is it, Mark or me? I don't know, I couldn't think of any Disney side character stuff. I said best friends. Oh, well this will make everyone sad. If we're telling sad stories, this will make five people sad. I'm selling the Subaru. I've talked about it a lot I know I've done a lot of things and there were some people who were really excited about it selling the Subaru I'm putting it back to stock, which is an unbelievable pain in the ass and I'm selling it
Starting point is 00:15:16 Sorry, everybody say bye to the Subaru. He go. Bye. Bye. You have to get it back to stock I don't have to but the thing about modifying cars is like some dealerships won't touch a modified car, even if it's purely aesthetic stuff, because they don't trust you. Well, I have a dealer who will buy it for a decent price, but all the money I spent on all that stuff is worth way more than the price they're giving me for the car because they're essentially paying me like it's just a stock, whatever. And I paid for all these extra little bits. If I take them off and sell them myself, I can recoup more of the cost of it
Starting point is 00:15:51 than if I sell all the bits still attached to the car. But that takes effort. Yeah, it's a pain in the ass because I got to take off the bumper off. I got to take some stuff out of the wheel wells. That's just a lot of stuff of like it's not hard, but it's like, it's one of those things where the bumper especially doesn't go back on very easily. And it's not because it's not designed well, it's just like the nature of a thing that stays on a car when it's going highway speeds and bumps and everything. You have to get it, slot it. And
Starting point is 00:16:18 there's a part where there's, you have to get a thing inside of two other things, but the both of the two things are floppy. So you have to like light it up and get really lucky, it slides in right and all that sort of shit. Just like car stuff, not that bad, but just like rolling around on the floor of the garage, wrestling with floppy plastic parts, trying to get them all back together. Yeah, the thing I hate the most is disassembling something.
Starting point is 00:16:39 Usually I do it after it doesn't work, so it's even more frustrating, but yeah, the disassembly is super annoying. I've not developed good habits at that. I've done this every time I've done a car project where I had to take it apart. I get really excited and I get everything in order and I have all the tools and everything I need and then I'll just like, all right I need to take this part off and I just end up with a pile of random bullshit and then when I go to put a bet together I'm like man I wish I had taken a picture of that or put things in organized piles or I'm holding pieces on my car like does this
Starting point is 00:17:13 screw fit? Nope. Does this plastic piece? Nope. We'll see we'll get it. Sure I got a bunch of shit all mixed up in my trim pieces but it's fine it looks right it's about right. Probably fine yeah. In a similar vein I dug out a PlayStation 2 over the weekend, and we had a friend in town staying with us, and she took the whole thing apart because I had memory cards in it that were plastic over the years, I guess, as weekend it was just crackling and falling apart in there.
Starting point is 00:17:38 It went from working to not working, and she's like, well, I actually restore these, just as a hobby of my free time, so I can take a look. So we took apart an old PlayStation 2, and I watched all the innards of that get removed and put back together and like a little, I didn't even know they had those little like, or those little round batteries called, like you put like a... Watch battery type stuff, flat disk battery. Yeah, yeah, those.
Starting point is 00:17:58 So I didn't know those had, PlayStations had those in there. Lots of electronics have those in them. Coin batteries, I think that's it. Coin battery, yeah. I don't know much about it all, but it was neat watching that taken apart and put back together. Yeah, they've had those for a bit. I mean, old alkaline batteries, you know, that tech goes back a long time.
Starting point is 00:18:12 They're not good, you know, but they still work. Haven't you ever heard of original like Pokemon Red and Blue cartridges coming unusable? Because when the little disk battery that's in there croaks it stops keeping time and so every time you boot it up It thinks it's like it just came into existence and it ruins your save file and stuff Yeah But you can replace those to my sister an ex-boyfriend who helped me do that with like Pokemon gold and silver because there was a Night day cycle so we literally popped it open to replace the battery and stuff. Oh, yeah Yeah, it's easy. You have to kind of like soldered in there or something
Starting point is 00:18:42 So we had it wasn't just like a simple pop out pop in. There was something else, if I remember right. But that's been 20 years ago, probably. I don't like talking about how long ago things were. Because I'm like, yeah, I mean, I was in high school. So it had to be like five years. You want to feel really depressed? What year did you start sixth grade? Well, that's easy.
Starting point is 00:18:59 That's the year my dad died, 2000. Oh, well, that's easy to remember. That's lucky. Yeah. He died a week before school started. So it's like, oh dude, that's the easiest question You could ask sixth grade. I didn't even know that what a great way to remember that so vividly Anyway, that's 24 years ago You could have been born then and you could still drink alcohol. Thanks, man. We're getting older I don't know if you guys have heard we are closer to 50 now than we are to 18
Starting point is 00:19:25 I just say closer to death Technically, yeah, we're closer to death now than we are to 18. I hope not I mean time will tell I guess I don't know. I hope that's not an ominous prediction Yeah, we're 15 because like at 34. I was like, okay 16 years ago 18 16 years from now 50 that's nuts Now it's like our closer to the big mound if you the big mound the big mound. Yes They call pounding the mound I'm about to pound the mound guys. The cougar approached me to Barland. I was like, hey, would you like to pound the mound? The cougar approached me in a barland. I was like hey would you like to pound the mound? I'm only 40
Starting point is 00:20:05 Remember when that was old to us man that wasn't that long ago we were like 40 ugh I'm only like 32 get away from me you skeleton. It doesn't bother me. I have no issues with it Yeah, I've never thought that about people people are weird about age to be honest. I don't care either I don't like looking like I'm 45 or 50, but I don't care about people's ages. My main concern is feeling old. I am, I mean, I don't know if you can tell, I'm a little overweight, not in good shape.
Starting point is 00:20:34 It really catches up to you. I regret that very deeply. Well, I mean, there's no time like the present to start, I guess. Yeah, it's hard though. I'll do it tomorrow. Yeah, yeah, you're right, it's hard. I'm not doing it either. Yeah, it's hard though. I'll do it tomorrow. Yeah, yeah, you're right, it's hard. I'm not doing it either.
Starting point is 00:20:47 Yeah, my one day a week I was gonna exercise was Tuesday, right when we recorded this podcast. I was like, ah, could not possibly fit my schedule. That's the only day of the week I had available. I've got sit on couch on Wednesday, Thursday. Can't beat sit on couch. Sit on couch Wednesday, you know? I stopped worrying, especially about getting older for a while ago
Starting point is 00:21:07 But you know stop worrying about what other people think about getting older because I remember many years ago I think I was like 27 many years ago. It was yeah. It's a while ago blood Sorry to tell you but I was at some YouTube event or something and I think Tyler was there too So I might have told the story but some other youtuber was like It was you know talking and there is sin is Sinabina and eventually she asked like, wait, how old are you guys? And I think it was like 27 or 28 or whatever it was. And then she just looks at both of us and goes like, you're so old. And I go, all right.
Starting point is 00:21:41 I think I think at the time she was like 20 or 21, which I totally understand when you're're that age like as soon as you're about to hit 30, that's ancient ancient ancient Yeah, but then perspective changes. So at that point I was like, okay Well, if I've already pounded the mound, I might as well just like embrace it and you know, I'm now post mound So yeah, yeah you not worrying about age makes sense cuz you're the reason I feel old cuz you still look like you're 25 27 meanwhile man the last five years when I had I went from hair solid brown beard because you're the reason I feel old because you still look like you're 25, 27. Meanwhile, man the last five years when I had I went from hair solid brown beard to full crypt keeper. If you just find that long lost son that you didn't know you had and drank his blood. I thought about having a kid just to drink their blood but Molly's like,
Starting point is 00:22:20 we're not having kids you can suck their blood you sicko. Well, did you explain to her that you would not be sucking it directly out of them that it'd be more of like a Harvest it and then consume it later elsewhere type of arrangement or yeah I even said let's do two so that way I can like alternate each day That way they get a chance to get some new back or you could do two and you could have a real kid and an organs Kid you could have like a beer hat. Yeah. One in each of these and just two straws going right into your veins. It's like I go to the football games, throw the hat with the two beers.
Starting point is 00:22:50 I got the hat with the two babies. Yeah. So I said beer hat. Oh, I didn't hear the beer hat. That's the main crux of everything. He just said, Hey, it's like that thing you said, but I'll say it louder. Wait, wait, I can't believe you just had that idea. What inspired it?
Starting point is 00:23:07 I just saw one of those at the Ren fair, not with babies, but man, they had those hats there. I should have gotten one. Beer heads at the Ren fair. Oh yeah. They had like the Viking hat with the horns, but like the horns weren't full so you could set beers in them. Ah, I see.
Starting point is 00:23:20 Cause it was Viking weekend. Sure. That makes sense. I have nothing else to say about that. All right. Did you dress up? No. Oh.
Starting point is 00:23:30 But Molly and our friend did. Well, why didn't you? That's the main reason I've never been to a Ren Faire is I don't have a costume and I wouldn't want to be the one nerd who's there not dressed up to go to the Ren Faire. Well, there's a lot of people that don't dress up, so you'd be fine.
Starting point is 00:23:41 So they had costumes, but I didn't have like a matching one. And I was like, well, I do have like my Darth Revan cosplay. Your Han Solo jacket. Well, I've got that, but I've got a full like $1,300 Darth Revan cosplay that's pretty intricate. But the problem with it is the Jedi robe part hangs low enough where I was like, that's gonna drag the ground and get all messy.
Starting point is 00:24:00 The mask has like this one slit that like the Revan mask has that you can barely see out of and it's very fucking hot and solid black. It was 82 degrees like 100% humidity. So I was like wearing all black that's gonna get all dirty not being able to see while melting inside this thing. Sounds fucking terrible. People that do that kind of stuff props. So there's a guy like full metal armor walking around that's like or at least it looked metal.
Starting point is 00:24:24 Like it was very well done if it wasn't it looked very real I mean I'm sure it was probably easier just make a metal one than fake that that dude props cuz he had to have been dying cuz we were wearing like I was wearing shorts and a t-shirt and I was like it's so fucking hot today people that were cosplaying like props to you couldn't do it I want to be comfy I got used to heat being in that warehouse. And I think people misunderstood when I said like, oh man, it was so hot in Texas this time. It's only 95, we can get to 100 something.
Starting point is 00:24:51 Did you miss the part where I was in an un-conditioned, un-air-conditioned warehouse with metal walls and the sun beating down on it? I can't tell you how much of that filming process. I was naked. Like I just, I really hope there isn't like an errant reflection somewhere in a pickup shop. I was naked like I really hope there isn't like an errant reflection is somewhere in a pickup shop I was making. When the movie comes out everybody look at every reflective surface.
Starting point is 00:25:14 Editors could you put some clothes on me for this scene. God I did get used to it after the while that that is the strange thing I got okay with it I was still sweating like hell but it was just like I weirdly didn't get bothered by it, which I never thought would happen. Do that in the wug suit and then let's talk. I don't know if I could do that. We tried to keep it cool. It was a desperate attempt.
Starting point is 00:25:34 That's true. The first one, the first day, that was wild how fast that escalated temperature wise. Dude, that pirate costume from Heist. Oh, man, that was death. And Pam, I wonder what she would say about her costume reflecting back. Hey, I had to go outside to get craft services, so... And it was hot out, guys. I stripped down a t-shirt and shorts to go out there.
Starting point is 00:25:58 It was still hot. I know what it's like. He's lying. Craft services on space was inside in an air conditioned room. No, no, the lunch, the lunch thing that was outside. Oh, the lunch where you step outside to go get it and then come back inside. There was a line.
Starting point is 00:26:15 We all aren't king of the production and have our lunch brought to us indoors, okay? I had to go pick my own. We ate outside one day and one of the guys work every guy it was was sitting and eating but I'm pretty sure his foot was on like a red ant hill the fire ants were chewing on his ankle you remember that? No what? I remember you telling me that story I didn't I didn't see that happen. Mark I thought remember that we were sitting outside chatting
Starting point is 00:26:40 and one of the guys that was working was like started shaking his leg and then like he looked down he had a bunch of fire ants all over his foot. I don't remember that at all. He was like I think I'm done eating and then we all were kind of like yeah us too we're here and back inside. Oh yeah it's all blurred to me. We've all lived through heat guys so okay. After that show I discovered they make this thing called cold shirt or something like
Starting point is 00:27:01 that with like water cooling through it where Pam could have been super comfortable the entire time. So could you during your warehouse. Instead you're like Jim Carrey in The Rhino's Circus trying to make your movie. I thought about that more than once when in the middle of it, I really did. The door to the warehouse doesn't open,
Starting point is 00:27:18 so you crawl out a tiny hole, people look over, there's a naked man falling out of a warehouse holding a camera. Well that actually is funny because the door didn't close properly, but they had Phil had giant magnets, right? So big powerful neodymium magnets and there were three of them that kept the door closed when they're in place That door is really hard to open because a full metal door So if I was like heat exhaustion like and I tried to open it, I don't think I could have opened it I'm out of time. Oh, yeah, I'm hosting an episode. I thought we were just chatting
Starting point is 00:27:48 I kind of forgot everyone got so many points and we definitely have tons of time for everything i've got Oh, hey everyone welcome back to Wade Mark and Bob just talked for a while Did we just have a commercial break? I hope so. Otherwise that was real confusing Was it because I totally was just chatting with y'all and I kind of forgot I was supposed to be the host today. It's whatever. It's what we do here, kinda. Usually the host has something, but... Any other final comments before I definitely properly segue into a topic? Peepee PooPoo. Great.
Starting point is 00:28:19 Today, we're going to talk about some things we- Very philosophical. What? Very philosophical. Wade will love that. Pee-pee-poo-poo can be, like what, nevermind. Listen, not all pee-pees are poo-poos, but all poo-poos are pee-pees. I'll leave that to Reddit to discuss.
Starting point is 00:28:36 Let's talk about the things that we didn't do in life, like opportunities we maybe didn't take. For example, I took my law school admission test, did pretty well, never applied to law school. Different sports, different activities, just things that we were on a path for or were doing in life that we kind of walked away from. Don't necessarily have to regret it or anything,
Starting point is 00:28:55 it's just one of those things where it's kind of like contemplating the what ifs that we never contemplate. Didn't we do that? We've done like a what if episode, but this is more- His last one was try new things, and it was like things that you tried That you liked surprised they were surprised you liked or whatever It's kind of like the inverse of that
Starting point is 00:29:10 But I thought in that episode didn't we do the inverse of that things you liked the things you tried you liked things try You didn't like this is just things you were doing in life whether you liked it or not You were doing it in second grade. My mom put me into basketball. I was playing basketball for a while I ultimately ended up liking it, which was cool. I was in a bowling league at one point, didn't really care to continue that, but. Bowling league? Yeah, like first grade there was like a bowling league, and like my cousin and I were in like this bowling league
Starting point is 00:29:33 where we were just going bowl. We were young, so they had like the gutter guards and stuff up, but we were just going bowl, and it was cool, I guess, but never really stuck with it. This is more so just things that we used to do that we don't do now. So you're looking for stuff that we failed at or gave up on? Or just moved on from,
Starting point is 00:29:50 like not even necessarily like intentionally, just something like you used to do. Failed at, got it. Yeah, got it, okay. I get the assignment. I kind of did this, but I really quit right before I really lived the life. It feels weird that I was almost a musician
Starting point is 00:30:04 because that feels like an entire other life now. I was very nearly, I was in college, I was studying music, I was in a band. We were almost on America's Got Talent. This close. We got called by one of their producers and then we just didn't make it because they had two bands and they picked the other band for the episode we were gonna be on. But we won Cincinnati area music awards. I played live on stage with Foxy Shazam. Lead singer is Eric Nally. The guy who sang the vocal track for Macklemore's Downtown. The guy who goes, he's got like a really really high voice, Eric Nally. He's from Cincy I think and but the band Fox Nally. He's from Cincy, I think, but the band Foxy Shazam is a Cincy band.
Starting point is 00:30:48 That is his band that he was the front man for. I did all this cool stuff, and then I moved away and went to law school and never played another note of music in my entire life. Well, at least you made the right choice, law school. And then I graduated law school and never used a law degree in my entire life. I never gave up on anything ever.
Starting point is 00:31:08 I believe it. What's your bachelor's in? Your bachelor's degree? Don't have it. Can't give up if you didn't get it. We're two a quarter away from getting it. Anyway, what else man? Come on.
Starting point is 00:31:19 He didn't give up. He finished. He just didn't earn the bachelor's degree when he finished. He just finished and was done. He got to his finish line, not their arbitrary one. Yeah, just because I was done and they weren't done with me doesn't mean that. Alternatively, I had like unfinished business written as like the thing to talk about. I had a friend in middle school, I believe, John Fletcher. You know what John Fletcher?
Starting point is 00:31:42 Yeah, yeah, I remember him. Yeah, so his, I believe his mother was deaf. So know what John Fletcher? Yeah. Yeah. I remember him. Yeah. So his, I believe his mother was deaf. So he knew sign language, right? And so I was like, I'm going to learn sign language. That's so cool. That's awesome. I want to learn it. And so I took a, there was a class in middle school for some reason. It was like a very small class, but or something like that. Seriously. I took John. And I was like, teach me. You're going to stay in my basement. You're not teaching me. Oh, you know,. Took him, and I was like, teach me, you're gonna stay in my basement, you gotta teach me. Ah, no one's gonna hear your cries for help.
Starting point is 00:32:08 I have this weighted blanket in a box. You can sit, it's very comfortable, and I'll teach. Want some water? Yeah. Yeah. Anyway, the only sign that I still remember to this day is slow down, because he would always sign way too fast. I was trying to understand,
Starting point is 00:32:24 and it's like, I couldn't even understand the rest of the signs I was just like just like fifth or sixth grade means like I don't know that's like all I learned was like the alphabet A B C D E no that's not right I don't remember you probably just said something terribly offensive to everyone right now in sign language god I hope so But I've wanted to learn it ever since. I've never really given up the goal of wanting to learn it. I do. But at the same time, it's like, oh, man, that's a lot. That's a lot of learning.
Starting point is 00:32:53 There's a lot of a lot of hand signals. So, yeah, I've I gave up on that. I wish I'd taken Spanish more. I took like four and a half years of it and I felt pretty comfortable. I still like listening like I was very slow at listening Comprehension I could speak it. Okay, like I probably sounded like a first grader But like I felt like I at least could say coherent sentences reading and writing to this day I'm okay. I can figure it out usually make oh this I don't know this verb
Starting point is 00:33:18 But otherwise this seems like the context that kind of put it together But like speaking and listening never felt very strong I told you guys about the convention where I was telling the lady, like we needed a moment to change shirts. And what she thought I was saying was to fold all of our dirty laundry. Yeah. And I imagine that being like eight years ago now, it's only worse my skill level now, but I kind of wish I had stuck with it and kept practicing and learning.
Starting point is 00:33:39 Cause I enjoyed speaking. I enjoyed Spanish, but yeah, sign language, Spanish, like I think of another language. Are you still doing Korean? Are you still doing Korean? Are you still learning Korean? I haven't had a chance to actually study for about a year since I did this movie I haven't had any time but I haven't given up on it That is something I'm gonna pick up relatively soon here now that I have some free time losing out on a year of it I hope I hope I haven't lost anything else, but I've watched TV shows and I'm still basically at the same level of comprehension I was well, they had six updates, so it's a completely different language now.
Starting point is 00:34:07 Oh, no. The DLC came out. I'm never gonna catch up. Do they have like a pay to win package in it, please? Yeah, yeah, you can remove ads. They have a season pass. I was actually only a couple classes away from having a minor in German in college. I was like really into German.
Starting point is 00:34:24 I started German in middle school and I studied it all the way through like the German in college. I was like really into German. I started German in middle school and I studied it all the way through like the middle of college. I guess it was when I switched out of music and stuff too. I was like, I give up on everything and just switched majors. I wish I had sort of stuck with German more because it's, I don't remember very much of it now, but it was fun. I was like reading German, not really basic stuff, but like German literature was one of the next classes I was going to take. I was kind of interested in that. Just gave up. Adam Foss Yeah, I know. I in college, freshman year, actually, I took Spanish in high school, but I was like, I'm going to learn French. I'm going to do that. So I went to the college
Starting point is 00:34:57 bookstore and I was like, do you have a French book? He's like, yeah. Can I have it? Are you taking the class? And I was like, no. He's like, all right, that'll be $200. And at that point I was so embarrassed. I was like, I'll take it. I have to lay down my debit card that I know I don't have $200 on or whatever. I don't know how I paid for it. I got it eventually.
Starting point is 00:35:17 I think I used my grant money for it or something like that. Is it pride the fucking worst, man? Pride gets in the way so many times you're like, shouldn't do this, but man I can't look weak. Yeah, and I took it back to the door room I think I cracked it open once looked at like the first few pages was like well, this is hard slam You sell back to the college mystery they're gonna be like two cents for the book you just paid $200 for is like oh Dude, oh my god a law school you it's like oh well. Dude oh my god.
Starting point is 00:35:46 At law school you accumulate a lot of books so from my undergrad I didn't end up with that many books but from law school I ended up with a shitload of books. Like a trunk full of books. I sold them when I was done by the pound. They didn't give a shit. I was basically selling them paper. They didn't care. I sold thousands of dollars worth of law books for like a hundred bucks or something because it was just, it
Starting point is 00:36:09 was a heavy amount of paper. Like, man, if I didn't have to move cross country, I might just kept them just because it's like, well, I might need this. I don't know. A treatise on tort law. I might crack that. I don't know. If I have a slip and fall, maybe I'll need some knowledge. I don't know. I still have all my engineering books back in'll need some knowledge. I don't know. I still have all my engineering books back in my mom's house. They're sitting in a corner, you know? I crack them open and I'm be like, did I ever read this?
Starting point is 00:36:32 Like I look at it like, oh, fuck it. You're going to open an important class book and it's just like never been opened. Like, oh, I see where my problem was. Why is it sticky? Man, I really enjoyed my problem was why is it sticky? Man I really enjoyed this back in the day. I remember I like that class a lot Makes a lot of sense actually there was a time I open the book most times like when I read this but the one time I turned a page and I saw a diagram like an engineering diagram of like weights and like pulleys and levers and trying to figure out Forces at angles and I look at I have this like deja vu and I I think on it a while and I realize this is what that class was talking about
Starting point is 00:37:15 Cuz I never really went home and did what I was the assignments I just I just cram studied for tests and that's how I got through college and Come on if I'd actually tried did you ever have one of those used books where the person before you like wrote notes and stuff in them? I had a person who clearly was trying, but like their notes were things like, dude, dot, dot, dot.
Starting point is 00:37:35 Guy really likes to hear himself talk. I don't even know what they were trying to say here with a circle and a line. And it's like they were talking to me in the future. Like at the time they were like someone else, I'm going to help them out here. Dude, dot, dot, dot. You know, notes never really made sense to me because I'm, I always would look at the book and be like,
Starting point is 00:37:55 if I can't understand what the book's explaining in a few paragraphs, how am I going to translate it into a couple sentences that I do understand? I was always trying to take notes, but I would just write down what the professor said. But when I did that, I wouldn't actually hear what he said. So I'd write it down and I'd never read my notes. So just like I was just a, I was just a stenographer. Just like, yes, this is a transcription of this class. Someday this will help somebody.
Starting point is 00:38:20 At law school is so funny. I swear no one has learned anything new in law school for like a couple of decades. Cause the way it works is for a class, like for a semester's class, you would make like an outline at the end where it's like, this is what's gonna be on the test. This is an outline. These are all the cases we covered.
Starting point is 00:38:37 Here's like the question, here's the holding of the case. Here's the important details, whatever. And so the outline is like what you study for the exam. And I did make some outlines, but I learned after the first semester that if you just buy your books from the people who are a year ahead of you, as long as you buy it from the person who took that class
Starting point is 00:38:55 you're taking from the same professor that you're taking, they come with everything. Like, you just be like, hey, can I buy that book for his criminal class off you? And also, do you have an outline for it? Did you, and they didn't make the outline. They got the outline handed down to them from the class above them. Six generations outline.
Starting point is 00:39:14 I had books where like every page was fully annotated. They might as well just like crossed all this out. Like you don't need to know this. Here's the one sentence on this page. This is very important. And then an outline that basically said the same thing. But like law school is so funny because everyone is obsessed with that shit. And there's like websites you can go and you're like, I need an outline for
Starting point is 00:39:35 for a criminal law for North Carolina and their websites. Oh, for eight dollars. Give you a full outline of North Carolina criminal criminal law one. So get you through your exam. But paying for it's stupid, because if you just buy books from people, they're so happy you bought their book for more than $2 that they'll just happily share whatever they have with you anyway.
Starting point is 00:39:53 It's a weird ecosystem. You get the back of the book notes, but it's literally exact, because professors rarely change their curriculum. And it's just like you get a list of all the answers. You can go to class without having read the thing and sit there with your outline from the other person and the professor is like, and who could tell me this? And you're just like, Oh, I'll just read.
Starting point is 00:40:12 I'll read the answer. I've got it right here, sir. The Stewart got that wrong the same way last year. It's so weird. Why does everyone think that's the holding in this case? Are you all reading the same outline? Did you ever have those professors that insisted you buy their book? Oh yeah. I always loved that. It's like, man, I'm paying a tuition so you get paid and then I'll buy your book on top of it.
Starting point is 00:40:31 There's a guy in CCM, the conservatory of music at UC who he wrote a very popular music theory book but it's not like the only one anyone uses but you had to buy his book because he was the professor of music theory and it was a whole... Yeah, I took a philosophy of mind and body and I'm not gonna lie, it was the one philosophy class that was like over my head and I just could not quite figure out what the hell was going on,
Starting point is 00:40:54 but the professor had us buy his book and so in our final paper, we didn't have a final exam, we had a final paper. The final paper I was like, I have no idea what the hell I'm supposed to be writing, so I'm just gonna flip through here, find some quotes that he said that sound like they're close to the topic, and I'll reference him. And he loved that? Yeah, half of my paper was quotes from him
Starting point is 00:41:14 with annotations or whatever, so I had to write three pages. About two of the three pages were his words in quotes. I got an A on the paper, like a 98 out of 100, and I couldn't tell you a single fucking thing that I said or what point was made like if I reread the paper out loud I'd be like what the fuck did I just say to you but I got an A because that guy he loved him he loved him some him education mock trial I started to do mock trial so in high school I did
Starting point is 00:41:41 um something for him on law I went to like Boston for some law. I went to like Boston for some law thing. I went to Washington, D.C. for some law thing. Didn't you go to the secret boys club? Can we talk about that? Buckeye Boys State in Ohio. So Buckeye Boys State, some forum on law in Washington, D.C. and another one in Boston. And I really fucking loved it.
Starting point is 00:41:58 So in college, I was like, dude, I actually know people that are doing mock trial here. I'm gonna go to do mock trial and I'm gonna love it because I've already loved it. I went to the first meeting and they were talking about just how it goes, the workload, this and that. I never went back to another meeting. I never did it.
Starting point is 00:42:13 Did you get scared off or did you just like, just forget it existed? No, I just was like, the next time it came up, I was tired, I had a paper or something I was working on, I was like, well, I can't make this meeting, I'm gonna get some work done. And that was like, my modern day, I'm gonna play this video game to completion and then one day I don't play it I never go back to it
Starting point is 00:42:30 It was just like a hint of what was to come for my future of the man who if he takes the day off will never Go back to that task never followed through on it and I really really loved mock trial up into that point nerd nerd Nerd, can we pile on him now? Is that okay? Yeah, pile on. Yeah, nerd! Yeah, go pound them out, nerd! Wait, what are you writing? I'm gonna give you both nerd points. How about you like, writing briefs? Just don't mind the tears on the nerd point. No one's gonna see that but you, nerd. You know a weird one?
Starting point is 00:43:07 While you guys are thinking a weird one that I used to enjoy doing that I forgot existed and then lately it's popped up like synchronicity style is building Bionicles. They're like I don't know if they were Lego. I think they were Lego. It's a Lego thing. But I really enjoyed building Bionicles and then like either like almost Transformer or Power Ranger them or if you had like the set of six Bionicles you could take them apart and then build like the Super Bionicles and then like either like almost transformer or power range of them or if you had like the set of six
Starting point is 00:43:25 Bionicles you could take them apart and then build like the super Bionicle I just forgot they exist and then lately they've been popping up all over the place and I even saw like a recommended like GDQ speedrun of someone playing some like really shitty Bionicle video game and speedrunning it and like I just can't escape Bionicles like the last month and I hadn't thought about them in 20 years. I saw the Bionicle lore popped up recently because I didn't know this, but in Bionicle, the world, it actually takes place in like the corpse of a giant robot or something like this. Why not?
Starting point is 00:43:59 And by giant, I mean moon sized or something like this. Like the robot is so large. Like there's, I think I can find like a picture of it, but I don't even know if it is real scale or something like this. All of Bionicle, the lore takes place inside the corpse of this robot. I wanna build it. If you think about it on the sense of like structural, there's no way that robot could stand at all or function but at the same time it's also
Starting point is 00:44:29 like wow that's terrifying if you have megalophobia that's that's awful I've never heard that term before megalophobia yeah I'm guessing it's a fear of big things it sure is you got You have it? I look down all the time, haven't been scared yet. Imagine a moon-sized packing peanut. How do you feel? That is a loaded question and I hate you. Imagine a monitor box, but there's no monitor in it. There's just Styrofoam, the size of the Titanic. You know, Bob, you hadn't lost a point yet, and now you have.
Starting point is 00:45:02 That wasn't even the first time I've made a Styrofoam joke this episode. You crossed the line. When did you make another one? Didn't I mention Styrofoam earlier? Did I say you might as well eat Styrofoam about something? Because you were talking about food or something? I don't remember. I don't recall.
Starting point is 00:45:16 Only I had a memory. Me too. Love Bionicle reference though. Bionicle reference, good. Dude, we're allowed to do that. I was shopping for a birthday present for a five-year-old recently, because we're going to a birthday party, and I was looking for Lego dinosaurs.
Starting point is 00:45:30 So I was in the Lego aisle by some of the more grown-up kits as well. There was a Formula One car. There was Martin Senna's Formula One car, whatever his livery is, and some stuff. And I was supposed to be looking for dinosaurs, and I came across those, and I was like, oh, that would look really cool in my office office and I went down a whole rabbit hole before
Starting point is 00:45:48 I remembered I'm totally allowed to buy those things but that's not what I'm at the store for right now but we can just do that imagine that happen all that fun stuff that's true I have a Star Wars AT-AT in my garage I have not built yet oh is it one of the like pretty big scale ones yeah oh nice but yeah we have a couple like Lego Ooh, is it one of the like pretty big scale ones? Yeah. Oh, nice. But yeah, we have a couple like Lego stores and stuff around. There's one like in the Kenwood Mall and other areas around Cincinnati.
Starting point is 00:46:11 So there's great places to get that kind of stuff. I have a buddy who has the Lego Super Star Destroyer, but it's like the big one, like the five foot long one. It's awesome. I also have been like delving deeper into like the world of cooperative board games since Mark showed us a few. Bird, the porn guy, he and Fu have some co-op board games they showed us.
Starting point is 00:46:30 There's one dude I'm obsessed with, I think it's called like Hanabi, which is like fireworks. Oh, I've seen that one. Dude, you just have tiles and you, with one other person you just try to build fireworks. I am obsessed. I want that like I want meat. I want to play that game bad. I had so much fun with it. It's so simple and I was just like oh we got so close. Let's go again Oh, we won, but we didn't get all the fireworks. We could get all the fireworks. Come on. Let's play more I just want to play more of it I really fucking love that game, but it's like impossible to find the tile version actually in stock anywhere
Starting point is 00:46:58 It's driving me insane, but we got one called pandemic which has been fun to play I want to get like a table set up or I just have like a board game slash Lego building table. Anyway, off topic there, but my brain. Bionicle. I think about hockey a lot. I'm still a big ice hockey fan, like I'm a big an angel fan. I played hockey when I was a kid a lot. Mainly we played like roller hockey in the parking lot behind the school or whatever, but I took skating lessons and then I took like hockey lessons where like you get the full gear and they start teaching you fundamentals and stuff
Starting point is 00:47:30 but you're not on a team yet. And I did all that and I fucking love hockey and I just gave up. I don't remember what happened. I think what may have happened is my hand got shut in one of the rink doors one time. Like three of my four fingers got shut in one of those heavy metal rink doors, like latched all the way shut shut.
Starting point is 00:47:51 That led to me taking a break from hockey while my fingers recovered. And then I sort of never went back to it after that, I think, because I started getting into other sports and stuff. But man, I wish I'd played hockey. Hockey is a fun sport. I love hockey. That sounds really fun, but also horrible very violent yeah well I am for since then have been terrified of those doors and if I'm ever near an ice rink for like fun purposes I'm terrified of getting anything caught in the heavy latching door that crushes your bones into dust yeah other than like UFC or boxing or, it's like the only sport where you can like literally just stop what you're doing and go start beating the shit
Starting point is 00:48:28 out of somebody and it's perfectly fine. It's a penalty. Yeah, but like you think legally, like I don't know watching it, like, you know, you get into a fist fight with someone like in your family or whatever and it's like, you're in jail. But on TV, you just watch this guy take off his gloves, go and start beating the fuck out of someone.
Starting point is 00:48:43 And we're all just like, yeah, woo! And they're like, go sit in the corner. Two minutes, two minutes, sit down. It's five minutes for fighting. Okay. Do they only give the penalty to the loser or what? If you engage in a fight, you get it either way. You won. You get a point. Other sports basically are just fighting the whole time. Like I always think it's funny when football players get so worked up that they're like trying to punch each other after the play or whatever. It's like the entire sport is just punching each other with some other shit happening. Just wait until you get another play and go pummel the absolute shit out of that dude. When it's completely legal. There's
Starting point is 00:49:22 no reason in a sport like football where you're like, I want to fight you now. It's like fight him during the play and then no, it's not even a problem. You don't get fined or anything. Like you're allowed to basically physically do whatever you want to this dude, as long as it's, you know, violence and not grabbing, which just sounds like what you want to do is violence. So go ahead, go nuts. It sounds great. Like, I don't know. That's crazy. But the tackling and stuff in football, sure. But there is just something about watching hockey, like the whole thing, like people stop playing the game to watch these two dudes just like punch each other in the helmet, which doesn't do anything. Step one of hockey fight is get your stance, grab with your front hand. Step two is try
Starting point is 00:50:01 and get their helmet either off or up enough that you can punch them in the face under the helmet. And there is a technique to it. That's fair. Punching the helmet is stupid, but usually if you can't get the helmet off, you just like give up because you don't want to do that. That's not bad. You just fight again later or just hit them during the play because hockey is also insanely
Starting point is 00:50:20 violent. Like it's not as aggressively violent as football is, but like, you have a lot of space to find someone and try and hurt them in hockey. All right, Mark, you have to talk again. Oh, have to? Wow. All right. I have in my script, punish Mark. Punish me? What did I do? Well, I guess I haven't done it yet. I don't know when that I grew unaccustomed to like wading around in a creek or something like that or like being amongst nature and just like getting my hands dirty because as a kid you know I went out in the woods a ton you know I played in the creek I committed eco-terrorism I just don't know when
Starting point is 00:50:57 I gave that up because now if I look at a creek I go icky water oh if I think about my toes getting in the mud I'm like whoa, whoa, God, kill me! Blow me up! I couldn't! And it's just like, it's kind of pathetic, you know? And honestly, it's kind of pitiful that I wouldn't be okay with going around in the mud because that's a more natural state of being anyway,
Starting point is 00:51:17 but I give a... Man, I'm gonna say, I used to love going to the creek, man, catching frogs and fish and all kinds of stuff. And now, like, I go outside and like, I'll see like a piece of garbage in the grass and I'm like I have to touch that with my hand to throw it away I don't even have like a tissue or a glove I don't mind getting dirty once I'm dirty but man the thought of getting my hands dirty I hate it did you ever um try to build dams in the creek like stop the
Starting point is 00:51:40 water oh yeah like I said I diverted rivers all the time horrible horrible things That's the eco terrorism part whole rivers Well, yeah Well to a kid a creek is a river like did you were one dedicated kid here the Ohio River? Didn't used to flow where it does know a lot of time on my hands of a crick Creek or crick. I think it depends where you were born any other things you all did or didn't do you want to bring up? Beep beep boop boop Classic have you thought any more about my philosophical assertion all poopoos are peepees, but not all Peepees are poopoos Yeah, no, I have get in it. No more thought. Do you want to contemplate it? Not at all?
Starting point is 00:52:18 Let it soak in no in your brain. Beep beep boop boop in your brain. Nope get it in there. No, no, no It's going I've never saturated myself in. You think your logical life straw keeps you safe, but it don't. So I like that phrase, but no. Random question, other than you did wrestling, right Mark? Did you do any other sports? I did track and field. I wish I had kept up with the running events and not so much the throwing because even though throwing is kind of fun It was like it didn't feel very ambitious. So in all honesty, I was like, man, I probably should try more, but I didn't.
Starting point is 00:52:49 That's fair. Cause you were good, we played football just like for fun. You were pretty good at like catching, running everything else. Yeah, I mean, I was athletic. I was fast when I needed to be. I just never, I didn't like working hard. So I didn't.
Starting point is 00:53:01 Bob, I know you played football and you were in band and you just said you did hockey. So I knew you did some stuff. Football, wrestling, track and field, baseball, soccer. Oh damn you did it all. I did lots of things. I was very medium at all of them. I was okay at football but I also didn't like getting brain injuries so I sort of moved past that. This guy likes his brain. What a fool. Well let me tabulate the points here. Good episode, everyone. No.
Starting point is 00:53:28 Okay, shitty episode. I'm so sorry, viewers. I mean, yes, yes. No, it's not like that. I will aim to do better in the future. Probably won't, but you know. Just for that, let's read Mark's points first, I guess. Oh, come on, man.
Starting point is 00:53:38 Come on, man. I feel like, just because I didn't have too many things I gave up on, just because I'm such a winner. I'll read Bob's points first. Bob, you got points for table instructions unclear, confidence, I said best friends, I buy car, banned, nerd, German hockey, punch legally,
Starting point is 00:53:59 and you lost a point for packing peanut, giving you eight points. I just wanna be clear, it was a moon sizedsized packing peanut we're testing your megalophobia. Alright Mark you got points for made chipmunk comfy, scary baby, burial ceremony, sign language, back to Korean, nerd, bionicle, the creek giving you also eight points however you lost the point for making a sad leaving you at seven points Which is one less than Bob's eight. Oh come on. Hey, you're the one who made us sad But it was such a captivating adventure. It was it really was the best story of the entire episode, but also it made us sad
Starting point is 00:54:38 If it makes you feel any better Bob would have won by two points if he hadn't mentioned the packing peanut Does that make you feel better not really? I can't believe that didn't make you feel better. What's wrong with you? Yeah, I thought for sure that was the one I looked inward I really contemplate. I was like does it maybe it does no wait no Hey, well, I'll let you go first on the loser speech. How's that? I don't know what if I go first on the winner's speech? You can say whatever you'd like, but it won't change the outcome. Alright, fine.
Starting point is 00:55:09 Sorry I made everyone sad. Sorry my life full of adventure and mystery where I don't quit that many things, because I'm not a quitter, not a loser, per se. I didn't quit this episode, this episode quit me, and that's the distinction that I keeps my ego intact Well said though. I think you've tried and stopped more things than the rest of us combined Bob winter speed I was playing the long game when I decided to never follow through on anything in my life
Starting point is 00:55:42 I knew that that would come back to help me succeed Just like giving up on all my dreams has helped me succeed at things and there's a lesson to take away from this episode It's that make sure that you never finish stuff Because then you'll never have any interesting stories to talk about because then you'll just be a winner like mark who sucks And it's boring and doesn't save chipmunks well said wait and on a happy note that's crazy if I'd given points during and after the winners and losers speeches and when might have been reversed from those does that make you feel better mark no no last the episode hopefully all enjoyed our ramblings of some old men stay tuned for the next one where
Starting point is 00:56:24 Bob will host and who knows what will happen. If you haven't already, go follow us, Mark of Markiplier, Bob at MySkirm, me at Minion777 or LordMinion777. We have merch at ExtractableStore.com and I guess see you in the next one. Until then, podcast out.
