  For decades, a shadowy organization called the Lemonati has kept lemon on top and lime in the shadows. Look around, lemon-forward sodas, even lemon-forward songs. We ran the tracks, slowed them down, reversed them, and squeezed out the truth.

• 0:19Speaker 00

  That's lemon propaganda right there. But now, 7-Up is fighting back with their new lime lemon soda. Join the 7-Up Rising. Flip the sip.

  Good evening, gentle listeners or watchers, and welcome to Distractible. This episode, mysterious Mark warns of superstorms, is surprised at things getting hard, then sets his sodalis to sensory snoothing. Bridge-bashing Bob shows his shinies, gallivants like a gamgee, and guesses like a gangster. Weather-wary Wade bunkers down and utterly evades continuous-path passenger conveyors. From sharing the podcast to Alpi Eats.

• 2:05Speaker 03

  It's time for... Smell my touch. Now, sit back and prepare to be distracted and enjoy the show.

• 2:18Speaker 04

  Hello and welcome to Distractible. I know you stayed up all night for the release of this episode. I know that it's midnight and/or some equivalent early hour, you dedicated listener and/or viewer, you. You win the special prize of being the very first person to ever listen to this episode. If you're listening to this two weeks late, our show has tanked, our audience has left us, we are destitute, you are the first person to show up within two weeks. Oh my God, help us, please. Share this podcast. We're dying, we're losing ranks, we're falling down, down, down the listing. Wade, you okay?

• 2:56Speaker 05

  Yeah, I was trying to imitate that football coach a couple of years ago who had the weird press conference where he was just like staring off at aliens the whole time.

• 3:03Speaker 04

  What a niche reference. I'm gonna give you a niche reference point for that.

• 3:07Speaker 05

  Thank you.

• 3:07Speaker 04

  Yeah, niche, very, very niche. Niche, very niche. I am Mark, the host of this episode whereby I define...

• 3:18Speaker 06

  I'm not interrupting you, just go on.

• 3:19Speaker 04

  You're right. No, no, just my eyes went, oh, Pokemon pack. And I was like, oh my God, man, that's really something. I define what today's episode is going to be about. But these two lovely gentlemen here are the only contestants we will ever have on this podcast, except when I'm not hosting, and then I will be one of those contestants. He's really adding our retention. This is climbing us the ranks.

• 3:41Speaker 06

  Yeah, yeah. You talk, I'll do this.

• 3:43Speaker 04

  Oh my God, what are you gonna get?

• 3:45Speaker 06

  The kids love this.

• 3:46Speaker 05

  Oh, pseudo-woodo.

• 3:48Speaker 04

  Oh my God. Is that good? Is that a good one?

• 3:51Speaker 05

  Show me a full art. Show me a full art. Show Papa.

• 3:54Speaker 04

  Is that good? Oh, is that not, I guess?

• 3:57Speaker 06

  All right, I'm gonna put my cards on the table. There's a bounty where you may rip a pack of any set of Pokemon cards, and if I got an EX or higher, I got points.

• 4:06Speaker 04

  I was really hoping that would have a banger in it. Well, damn. I don't know what that means, so I won't give you anything for that.

• 4:13Speaker 05

  It's not a bounty for you.

• 4:15Speaker 06

  It's not for you.

• 4:16Speaker 04

  These two gentlemen here have been living life to the fullest, and I can't wait to hear exactly what they've done in their full, full life to entertain us all here. Who wants to go first?

• 4:28Speaker 06

  Wade does.

• 4:29Speaker 05

  Oh, yeah.

• 4:30Speaker 04

  Wade, what have you been up to?

• 4:31Speaker 05

  Oh, man. So last week, we recorded, we did the lovely choose your own adventure, and then Bob and I got to flee quickly because we realized, what's that noise? Oh, my technology must be acting up. Oh, no, it's tornado sirens for both of us. That's weird.

• 4:48Speaker 04

  Right.

• 4:49Speaker 05

  And then we found out we had a derecho, I think is how, is that how it's pronounced? A derecho hit us, which is just like a long, continuous line of storm.

• 4:55Speaker 04

  Deraco, I think.

• 4:57Speaker 06

  I don't know, I've heard it both ways.

• 4:59Speaker 04

  No, derate, no, derecho might actually be it.

• 5:02Speaker 06

  I think I said deraco once, and people were like, he thinks it's pronounced deraco. I was like, yeah, I do think that. Is it not?

• 5:11Speaker 05

  Dear Ichio, dear dot Ichio, probably that. But yeah, one of those hit, and that was fun, because it was just crazy wind. We had up some different like news things, including there's like a YouTuber named like Ryan Hall, y'all, who does like weather reports. We had these different things up trying to see what was going on, and they didn't have tornado watches anywhere, but there were like 11 tornado warnings, and each warning area was the size of like a county.

• 5:35Speaker 04

  Damn.

• 5:36Speaker 05

  So they're just like, if you live in these areas, tornado warning. And it's just all of southern Ohio, southeastern Indiana, northern Kentucky, and it's like, that's all of us live watching the news. That's all of us, we're all in that.

• 5:48Speaker 04

  Question, were they the similar size of the county, or were they just issuing warnings based on counties?

• 5:53Speaker 06

  No, you know how they draw boxes when there's tornadoes? They'll be like, here's a line and a box, and it's moving this way, and they like draw on the map?

• 6:03Speaker 04

  Yeah, yeah.

• 6:04Speaker 06

  They just had several boxes that were basically everywhere from northern greater Cincinnati area down into Kentucky, past the airport, which is like, box, box.

• 6:15Speaker 05

  It looked like gerrymandering boxes, because some of them weren't just like squares. Some of them was like, were like trapezoids, and then it had like a tail go off, and it's like, why does this one have a thing that goes off and curls up like, like Bricks and Minifig's mustache? Like, what is going on with these boxes? This is weird.

• 6:32Speaker 06

  Got him.

• 6:33Speaker 04

  That's quite a reference. That's good, that's good.

• 6:36Speaker 05

  But it was, it was very bizarre, because like I said, there was no watches. They were all straight to warnings, because like, I guess the way the derecho was moving in, the entire front of the storm had like spinning circulation, so everywhere was a potential for a tornado. I think only two ended up touching down, as far as I know, one in like southeastern Ohio and one in like northern Kentucky somewhere. But like, it was, it was an intense 30 to 45 minutes of like tornado warning sirens for like five minutes, then silence. Back on, silence. Like, it just kept going on and off for quite a while, and the wind and the rain were, were pretty intense, but ultimately it just ended up being a bad thunderstorm for us, but...

• 7:17Speaker 04

  Damn.

• 7:17Speaker 05

  I had never seen where just everything was tornado warning, because I think warning is the more severe one, so it's like, oh, that means it's like touchdown. But apparently, that's not what that meant that day. It just meant that everything was strongly indicative of swirling winds and potential tornado or something. I don't know, I didn't fully get it, but...

• 7:34Speaker 04

  I mean, all of this is due to the super El Nino that's brewing.

• 7:40Speaker 05

  The boy?

• 7:41Speaker 04

  Yes, super the boy.

• 7:44Speaker 05

  Is it Nino, like son? My son?

• 7:46Speaker 04

  This is basically, has been confirmed that this is going, this year is going to be a rare super El Nino. It's already done. It's, it's over. You know, it's, you know, like in Drive when he cuts the guy's armies, like, just don't worry about it. It's over, it's all over. There's no pain. There's gonna be a lot of pain. So super El Nino is coming, the...

• 8:06Speaker 05

  Hawaii got hit by the first hurricane like ever, a really rare hurricane or something recently, didn't it? Like, that also never happens.

• 8:12Speaker 04

  Yep, yeah. Many Pacific hurricanes are going to form out of this, which is not, used to be a thing where it's like, oh, man, that barely never happens. Now, there's gonna, probably gonna be several.

• 8:22Speaker 05

  Great. But yeah, that was, that was my entire week, was that 25 minutes of waiting for the thunderstorm to pass.

• 8:29Speaker 06

  Nothing else happened.

• 8:30Speaker 05

  Nope, not a thing.

• 8:31Speaker 04

  Not a thing, not a thing. All right. Bob, he's stolen the derecho story, so that didn't happen to you.

• 8:39Speaker 06

  I was sort of fitting to talk about that, but that's okay, that's okay. You wanna know, you wanna know what happened to me that I don't think I've talked about yet?

• 8:47Speaker 04

  No.

• 8:48Speaker 06

  So I'm not gonna tell you exactly where we live, but we live down a road where it's like, if you go out of our neighborhood, go from our house to the X of the neighborhood, that's traditionally, as there is, you can turn left or you could turn right. And if you turn left, you're like five minutes away from, there's a Kroger, there's shops and restaurants, there's civilization. If you turn right, you essentially drive out into the farmlands.

• 9:14Speaker 05

  Kroger's a grocery store for those that don't live around here.

• 9:17Speaker 04

  Everyone knows Kroger's.

• 9:18Speaker 06

  Kroger's big time.

• 9:20Speaker 05

  Okay.

• 9:21Speaker 04

  Kroger's literally orange like every grocery store across the country. Anyway, sorry.

• 9:25Speaker 05

  Sure, they own like Ralph's and Harris Teeter and...

• 9:28Speaker 06

  What about Guam?

• 9:29Speaker 05

  Kroger in Guam.

• 9:30Speaker 06

  I wouldn't be surprised if there was a Kroger in Guam, but I don't think they own the place. No, I don't think that's how that works.

• 9:37Speaker 05

  Ah, got you, Kroger. Found your weakness.

• 9:39Speaker 04

  Please continue.

• 9:41Speaker 06

  If you drive out towards the farmlands, you also have to go underneath a really awkward bridge, where like there's two roads that cross under the bridge, so there's like blind turns, and anyway, it sucks. It's super dangerous, and there are stop signs, but people just blow through it at full speed, because I don't give a shit. Cause they're idiots. Uh, anyway, the, so leaving our neighborhood, the left turn where you're really close to all the cool stuff we wanted to live near when we picked this location to live. Uh, there's a bridge that was damaged and they closed that whole section of road for the last four months. So even though we live within like five minutes of a huge shopping center and all the, you know, whatever places we would want to go on a

• 10:22Speaker 06

  regular basis, we actually then lived four times as far away from them because you had to go the wrong way out of the neighborhood and then loop way the hell around. And it was like, it felt like we lived in a different place for the last four months. They finally finished it. And in those four months, they gave us a 15 foot long bridge for a two lane road. Oh, it's one of those things where I knew what it was going to be, cause I knew what it was before it closed, but like it finally opened and we were like, oh my God, they took the detour signs down. Can we go the other way? And the first time I drove across it, it was just like, I fucking, I had to drive off into the, God knows where

• 11:05Speaker 06

  for a quarter or a third of a year almost for fucking for this? Just put some boards over it and let me go where I want. Like it's nice that that's open. And now I have all the, you know how you develop like driving habits? Now I keep going the wrong way. Cause I'm like, oh, got to loop around. Never mind, never mind. Let me back in. God, it's so infuriating to just drive over. Cause it's literally less than 15 feet of, it's like a bridge over a tiny little creek, but it was, they just, it's fine. And I'm glad that it's open because now I can do whatever I want. But it literally felt like we lived like half an hour out in the country. When we live in the suburbs, we don't live that far from anything. You just have to go the correct way to get to it.

• 11:48Speaker 05

  I will say that other intersection you're talking about, that one is shady. Uh, that one does make me nervous. Every time I'm like, God, I hope someone's not going 90 miles an hour on this road as I turn.

• 11:58Speaker 06

  And they do. It was a whole thing. Cause at the beginning of the closure, I was like, oh, it's like an adventure. Oh, we'll just go. And it was that descent from like, oh, it's okay. It'll only be a few months. Ah, it's okay. Ah, I'm getting kinda tired of it. The last like three weeks until it opened, both Manny and I were just like, I fucking hate this stupid fucking bridge. I'm gonna buy a helicopter and land on the roof of the house and use a ladder to climb to it. It's fine. It's open now. It's fine.

• 12:27Speaker 05

  You're like Samwise Gamgee in Lord of the Rings. You're like,

• 12:29Speaker 07

  This is it. If I go this way to the store, be the furthest from home I've ever been.

• 12:33Speaker 05

  And then like, now you're like thousand yard stare, just fucking carrying Frodo's corpse as you're like,

• 12:41Speaker 04

  Fuck Mordor and this bullshit. I must've watched a different Lord of the Rings. I don't remember Samwise.

• 12:45Speaker 06

  Becoming jaded, smoking.

• 12:48Speaker 05

  Remember Samwise with the cigar and the army helmet?

• 12:54Speaker 06

  I'm talking about Union Rip, but it isn't.

• 12:58Speaker 04

  All right, well, that sounds, uh, problematic. I'm very sorry about that.

• 13:03Speaker 07

  Not anymore. Now it's great.

• 13:05Speaker 04

  Is it controversial? Will I get killed if I say that I think that, uh, road construction in Ohio and probably many other states is an absolute, uh, mob scam, like.

• 13:17Speaker 06

  When we were in college, two decades ago, almost, there was construction on 75, you know, all around the Hoppel Street and the Mitchell Avenue exits. It's the same. It's literally the same fucking cones. It was almost two full decades ago. And like they finished parts of it, like the Hoppel Street exit got totally redone. It's crazy. It's all new, but all the other shit is there's still, it's down to two lanes on each side. There's cones. There's the one highway, one, you know, when one side goes on to the other side. Cause they're like scrunching in it. It's the fucking same. I, it's, it's literally a scam. It's some kind of crazy mob front or some shit because it doesn't make any sense. And there's that kind of shit everywhere in Cincinnati.

• 14:03Speaker 05

  There's a spot on 275 north where they finally added like a fourth lane for traffic during a really busy section. It is always closed. I, even in standstill, I have never seen it. Anyone allowed to use this mysterious lane that they built.

• 14:17Speaker 06

  Wait, I know that part. I know that part. I know that. Yeah.

• 14:19Speaker 05

  It's never been accessible. It's always like, nope, not allowed to go in this lane.

• 14:24Speaker 06

  It's just, it's just a lane they built so that they could have a lane closed and meet their contract requirements without actually having to close one of the three lanes they let people use.

• 14:32Speaker 05

  Nobody's allowed in it. No matter the circumstance.

• 14:35Speaker 04

  I don't get it. I was back at home and also I was just like, I was, uh, going to the airport. My mom was driving me. And I was like, on 75. And I was like, it looks so familiar. It's like I never left. Wow. There's the same construction here in this stretch.

• 14:49Speaker 05

  Turn on the radio. Traffic backed up from Mitchell to Paddock on 75 south.

• 14:54Speaker 06

  And it is funny. I've never seen anyone ever work on it. I've seen trucks. I've seen trucks. I've seen the equipment. There's a bunch of shit parked everywhere.

• 15:02Speaker 05

  Parked everywhere. Never anyone worked.

• 15:05Speaker 06

  You walk up and it's actually the same cars from 20 years ago. They've just been there.

• 15:11Speaker 04

  It is, it is crazy. And I know we've all seen like videos of some bridge, uh, like an overpass thing collapsed somewhere. There was a problem with it in, in either America or some other country, probably some other country, and they fix it overnight. One night. It's just like, you see them close the one side of the highway, then they build it all back up in the other side. And, and even I'm like, I didn't know concrete could harden that fast. I'm like, that seems like pretty quick. Uh, but even though they get it all, it's done. Like totally new. What the fuck even happened?

• 15:43Speaker 05

  There was a fire, uh, under one of the big bridges that crosses the Ohio river a couple of years ago. I think like a playground or something random burned and, uh, it caused damage to the bridge. I feel like they fixed that bridge pretty damn quick considering, like apparently the fire got hot enough to like melt something in the support. Like it was apparently pretty serious, but like, yeah, I feel like that was like a month or two. And they're like, yeah, that's fixed. And then other areas, like you're saying, like two decades of like, hmm, this pothole might be bigger than the road itself, but we can't be bothered to take care of this right now.

• 16:11Speaker 06

  It's a conspiracy, man.

• 16:13Speaker 04

  Much like with the LAX, uh, people mover that they've been working on for fucking forever. And, uh, just absolutely has been every year. It's like another, it was supposed to be July this year, moved it to December. And it's just like, it's just, it's 99% done. They've been saying it's 99% done for years and it's just not done. Anyway, the whole of this thing. I see it at the airport. I see it going like, wow, look at that. It looks so nice. So pretty. Oh, wow. That'd be, it goes right up the top there. Drop it. Oh, oh, look at it go. Not ready. Just not ready, guys.

• 16:48Speaker 05

  I think maybe the people that were driving on just got rider's block.

• 16:56Speaker 04

  Not giving you a point for that.

• 16:57Speaker 05

  Why do I even bother?

• 16:59Speaker 04

  They're complaining. Is that complaining? They're complaining. Complaints I hear.

• 17:03Speaker 06

  Is there points for complaining?

• 17:04Speaker 04

  No, there's no points for complaining.

• 17:05Speaker 05

  Then yes, or wait.

• 17:09Speaker 04

  This episode of Distractible is brought to you by Strada. Strada is a solution for your cloud storage woes. Companies like Dropbox, iCloud, Google Drive and Frame I/O always run out of space. And over the years that you've had them, they never get cheaper. Even though technology advances somehow, a terabyte on these cloud storage servers still costs the same or bizarrely cost more.

• 17:35Speaker 05

  One second. Uh, sorry. I hate to interrupt you. I'll be right back. I gotta go reset the editing PC so Dana can keep editing. One moment.

• 17:43Speaker 04

  Well, that's a bizarre, that's a bizarre workflow.

• 17:45Speaker 06

  It sounds like he's not using Strata.

• 17:47Speaker 04

  With Strata, you can use your local NAS as remote storage, but your editor can just stream the files that they need and access the files they need from your computer as if it's a hard drive.

• 17:59Speaker 05

  Oh, we just have a PC set up here that I have to go manually interact with so that my editor who lives in Florida can remote desktop in to then access my external storage, which is connected to this computer. It's a, it's a lot.

• 18:11Speaker 06

  It always works super smooth?

• 18:13Speaker 05

  No, especially if we're not here and it's like the PC needs reset. She can't do anything.

• 18:17Speaker 04

  Okay. All right. So imagine your NAS existed as a folder, you know, on that computer. That folder from your NAS can be a folder on their desktop with Strata. And then they can stream the files that they need to edit with on their own computer in their own editing software. And they're lightweight, easy to, easy to work with. And they can even render from those files because it'll stream the frames they need from the raw files as needed.

• 18:43Speaker 05

  So I would not need a second computer here for her? She could just use her computer?

• 18:46Speaker 06

  Wait, wait though. I spotted, I spotted the catch. I spotted this is where they always get you. So when it runs out of storage space, how much do they charge you to expand that?

• 18:58Speaker 04

  They don't have cloud storage. It's not cloud storage. It's your storage. So when your storage runs out, add more storage.

• 19:05Speaker 05

  God, that would have, for 10 years, I've needed this.

• 19:08Speaker 06

  Wait, wait, wait. No. Okay. So this is one of those things where it only works on like Mac, right? It sounds great. And it's this great solution, but then it's like, oh, but I'm a PC. So I can't.

• 19:17Speaker 04

  No, both. Yeah, it works on both. Yeah. It, it has automatic file like organizations for the different volume structure and you can still access from a Mac straight to your desktop. You have to, you have to in DaVinci go like, you know, the exchange, the command lines for things, but that's just for the editing software part. If in the Strata software, you can interact seamlessly in between both. And it starts at just $8 a month per editor. How much are you paying for your cloud storage per editor?

• 19:45Speaker 06

  I wish it was anything like $8 a month. I can tell you that.

• 19:49Speaker 05

  Dude, a PC, the PC that sits here that does the editing alone, it would, decades, it would last for $8 a month. Decades. It was cheaper than one computer after a place every few years.

  The name of this game, uh, I'm trying to figure out if this will be offensive or not. And if it's not, I'll change it.

• 21:00Speaker 06

  Just beep it.

• 21:02Speaker 04

  Want to call it originally was.

• 21:06Speaker 04

  Oh God, Sam, please. Oh, Sam editing the blood. I can't ever hear him again. That's, that's Sam Lopez said. I want you guys to use the other senses besides sight to describe things to the other player who will be guessing what that is. Now we can, we have touch, taste, smell and sound. If we don't have sight, you could use no exception. I guess if you really think that'll, I don't think it'll help you in your.

• 21:39Speaker 05

  I know about his arc. I don't know about deception.

• 21:42Speaker 04

  That's okay. That's funny. Now that's funny.

• 21:45Speaker 05

  Thanks. Thanks.

• 21:46Speaker 06

  He did the thing.

• 21:47Speaker 04

  Now that's funny. I don't know if that takes away a point. I can't remember what that does. No, if you, if you laugh at what I say, I think I should get a point. What the fuck? For those that don't know, does any of you know what no exception is?

• 21:58Speaker 06

  Are you talking about pro priopreception?

• 22:01Speaker 04

  Yeah. Yeah. Wait, sorry. Pro priopreception. Yeah.

• 22:03Speaker 06

  Where you're like aware of the position of your body parts in space sort of thing.

• 22:09Speaker 04

  That's what it is. Yeah. Yeah. Pro priest, not no except. What is no exception then?

• 22:14Speaker 06

  I don't know. Is that a real thing? I hadn't heard it. I was like, well, he said it so confidently. I assume it's a thing.

• 22:19Speaker 05

  I think it's a movie with Leonardo DiCaprio.

• 22:21Speaker 04

  Okay. No seception is the nervous system's physical process of detecting and encoding harmful or potentially damaging stimuli. So that's like the pain, sense of pain. Is that another sense or is that part of the touch?

• 22:33Speaker 06

  I mean, that's, that's sort of part of touch. I think that's part of your like physical contact nervous system. I don't know.

• 22:39Speaker 04

  Yeah. But pro priopreception is typically regarded as the sixth sense of knowing where your limbs are in position around you. You have a sense of where they, where spatial.

• 22:50Speaker 06

  You can't do this without pro priopreception.

• 22:54Speaker 06

  Not hitting my head.

• 22:57Speaker 06

  Not hitting my head. Not hitting my head.

• 22:58Speaker 05

  I'm not touching me. I'm not touching me. I'm not touching me.

• 23:01Speaker 06

  Right? Right?

• 23:03Speaker 04

  Yeah, I think so.

• 23:04Speaker 05

  Who's not hitting you? Who's not hitting you? Everyone.

• 23:07Speaker 04

  I, I, we're, we're generally saying we can't use that. If you could, if there's something in here where you could, I'll, I'll give you a bonus point for it, but I'm pretty sure you can't. We're going to take turns. Someone will go through and how it works is you have four senses to describe something with. I'm debating whether you can start, whether it's a standard order where it's like starts with touch, taste, smell or sound, or I could give it to you where you can choose which one you would describe it. And maybe that's advantageous because the less senses you use, the more points you're going to get. If you can only use one and they can guess it with that one, then you get four points, right?

• 23:48Speaker 06

  I like that. I like that. It's, it's our pick, but you lose points. The more you have to, the more you have to resort to other senses. Or for each sense you have to resort. I like that. I think that makes sense.

• 23:58Speaker 05

  If it wasn't so annoying to edit, I'd be like, what if we use a wheel to determine the first sense we have to give?

• 24:02Speaker 04

  I, I had debated that as well. I thought about random assignment.

• 24:06Speaker 05

  That's fun, but also that would suck.

• 24:08Speaker 06

  Sam, make a wheel.

• 24:10Speaker 07

  Make me a wheel.

• 24:12Speaker 04

  If you guys think it's better, if it's random, what you have to start with, I will lean towards it.

• 24:16Speaker 05

  I think it's funnier. I don't know if it's better.

• 24:18Speaker 06

  You could just find a picker, like an online random picker thing, and then just let Sam worry about the visuals. No lie.

• 24:26Speaker 05

  All right. Sight, sight, sight, sight.

• 24:28Speaker 04

  No sight. This is something I'm going to be looking out for. You cannot make any description with sight. So color, what it looks like in any way, shape or form, any, any description that would you really? It feels like purple, Bob.

• 24:43Speaker 06

  It feels very blue. Yeah. Yeah. I know. I get that. I get that.

• 24:47Speaker 04

  Yeah. All right. So you can't do that, but you can do touch, taste, smell, sound. And we're going to try this with the wheel to see if this works out. I think it could be fun. So I'm going to message you. Uh, well, let's determine who's going to go first. Heads Bob, tails Wade. If we're going to switch it up a little bit.

• 25:07Speaker 06

  Come on, universe. I don't even know which one I want.

• 25:10Speaker 04

  That's heads for Bob. I think, yeah.

• 25:12Speaker 06

  That's what she said.

• 25:14Speaker 04

  Bob, you're going to go first. I'm going to give you, and I, again, with most of these things back and forth, I'm trying to pair them up so that what I think is the predominant sense would help the most. I'll match them up. The randomness might make that not work so well, but there, when we do one and we'll stick to the one all the way through, and then we go to the other person, the matchups are kind of similar ish. Maybe we'll see. We'll see. This is your first thing you're trying to describe to Wade. And I'm spinning the wheel of what sense you have to use first.

• 25:47Speaker 06

  Is pro priopreception on the wheel? Just to be clear.

• 25:51Speaker 04

  I'm not putting it on the wheel. I feel like.

• 25:53Speaker 06

  Can I, can we make that where it's like, if you choose that and you do that first and you get it, it's like a bonus?

• 25:59Speaker 04

  Yeah. You know what? If, if, if you, if you can get it, uh, so your first one is taste. You can always use pro priopreception if you want to use it and you'll get a bonus point. So if he, if he guesses this on that, on taste, you'll get up to four points because you, that was your first sense. Every sense you have to use after that is one less point. If you don't get, if he doesn't get it at all, you get no points. If he guesses it to incentivize him guessing, well, he gets a point. So when and if he gets it, he will get a point.

• 26:29Speaker 06

  I am going to, especially because I got taste. I am going to start with pro priopreception.

• 26:37Speaker 06

  Okay. Can I describe that? We're starting from a certain position.

• 26:40Speaker 04

  Yeah, we're, we're, I'll, I'll, I'll allow it and I'll make rules to like against things if it's too much.

• 26:46Speaker 06

  You are standing. You feel like your whole body is kind of going up and forward. And you feel like your arm, which is outstretched, is moving at a different speed than the rest of your body, but moving in the exact same direction up and forward.

• 27:04Speaker 05

  Okay.

• 27:05Speaker 06

  So you're standing and you feel like your body is moving all together, up and forward at a consistent pace. But your arm, which is outstretched, feels like it's moving in the exact same direction, but probably at a slightly faster speed than the rest of your body. So it's kind of like being pulled from out to the side to more like out in front and to the side of you as you're experiencing the sensation.

• 27:31Speaker 05

  Do I know if we're describing nouns or actions or like, how specific are the things I'm looking for?

• 27:36Speaker 06

  This is a thing.

• 27:37Speaker 05

  Standing. Body's moving forward.

• 27:40Speaker 06

  Both up and forward.

• 27:41Speaker 05

  diagonally up. My arm moving diagonally up a little bit faster.

• 27:45Speaker 06

  After an amount of time.

• 27:48Speaker 04

  No more, no more. You gave your description.

• 27:50Speaker 06

  Okay.

• 27:50Speaker 04

  You gave it. You gave it.

• 27:52Speaker 05

  Okay. So now I've got to make a guess.

• 27:54Speaker 04

  Yeah. Yeah. You got to guess.

• 27:55Speaker 06

  What feels like that? Pro priopreceptively.

• 27:58Speaker 05

  You didn't describe me going through any kind of like, I'm just going up and forward. So I'm, I'm just going to say lying.

• 28:06Speaker 06

  That's not a thing. That's an action.

• 28:08Speaker 04

  You failed with pro priopreception.

• 28:12Speaker 06

  Okay. Do I now have to use taste?

• 28:15Speaker 05

  I think that's how the rules go, right?

• 28:17Speaker 04

  I will say, uh, that, that is, that is such, that, that was more powerful than I thought it was. I am adding pro priopreception to the wheel from now on because I feel like it should be.

• 28:27Speaker 06

  Well, this, this would, this thing in particular, like that was a really, that's such a specific to this thing experience. You'll get it. You'll get it. Once you know, you'll get it. Once you know.

• 28:37Speaker 05

  I'm going to feel really dumb when I don't.

• 28:39Speaker 04

  So now you, I also, yeah, because otherwise I'd have to make it risk reward and, and, but I, I, I appreciate the boldness of that one. We'll, we'll give that a freebie and I'll, I'll, we'll see how it goes here. But now you have to describe it with taste.

• 28:53Speaker 06

  This is a thing and we're assuming that you are tasting this thing. You taste one part of it and it tastes kind of like rubbery in a filthy unpleasant way. And if you taste, uh, sort of the other main part of it, there's another, there's another thing to taste. It tastes metallic, but like greasy, like oily, right?

• 29:20Speaker 05

  Roller coaster?

• 29:23Speaker 04

  No, it is not a roller coaster.

• 29:26Speaker 06

  You have to also remember the other description I gave.

• 29:29Speaker 05

  That's I was putting that in there. I was like, ah, up and forward.

• 29:32Speaker 06

  I don't know what your arms doing on roller coasters, but I have some questions.

• 29:35Speaker 05

  Well, people throw their arms up. So I was like, oh, maybe it's the sensation of like putting your arms up before you.

• 29:40Speaker 04

  That was, that was good. That was good. All right. Okay.

• 29:42Speaker 06

  That was, that was a decent guess. That was a totally fine guess. I'm not mad about that.

• 29:45Speaker 04

  I'm gonna, I'm gonna spin the wheel for what your next sense is.

• 29:49Speaker 05

  Cause as soon as you, I was like, what if the other part's metallic? I'm going up like a roller coaster. Then my arm goes up a little bit faster. It's like.

• 29:56Speaker 06

  Nah, I see. I see the thought process.

• 29:58Speaker 04

  All right. Your next sense is touch.

• 30:01Speaker 06

  So I'll, I'll describe the same two parts that you tasted from the taste one. The part that tasted sort of rubbery, when you touch that, it definitely feels rubbery. And it feels kinda like grimy, but not in like a way where you're pulling bits off, but kinda just like when you take your hand off, you're like, ah, okay. And then if you touch the other part that you tasted, that tasted metallic and oily, you feel some very distinct grooves. It definitely feels like something hard. It could be metal and you feel almost an iconic pattern of grooves on this part of this thing.

• 30:40Speaker 06

  Unmistakable, pretty much for anything else in the world. You definitely know what this is because you feel this and you're like, oh, obviously.

• 30:47Speaker 05

  Oh, man.

• 30:49Speaker 06

  I feel like I've given pretty good things here.

• 30:51Speaker 05

  You have. I think you are. I, my brain is just not. You know how like whenever you, you fixate on something and you can't get your brain off of that thing? It's really hard to remove myself from like flight or a roller coaster. So I'm trying to like remove myself from those ideas, but like, that's all I'm picturing. So I'm, I'm just trying to think, okay, different, different design. If I've removed the image from my mind.

• 31:13Speaker 04

  Uh huh. There's yeah, no image.

• 31:15Speaker 05

  Well, that's for him. I think I can picture things, right? I just can't, you can't describe what I see.

• 31:20Speaker 06

  My help if you close your eyes, maybe you'll start to see something when you combine all of these things you're thinking about.

• 31:25Speaker 04

  Maybe, maybe.

• 31:26Speaker 05

  You gave me whatever Pa- Popeye's description. You gave me the.

• 31:31Speaker 06

  I think he means proprioception.

• 31:35Speaker 05

  Even if you didn't intend this, I'm trying to focus on one part that's rubbery, not multiple parts that are rubbery. So a part that's rubbery, part that's metallic, distinct ridges. And those ridges leave me feeling grimy.

• 31:47Speaker 06

  How kinda grimy and oily.

• 31:48Speaker 04

  Tick tock on the clock.

• 31:50Speaker 05

  Yeah, I know. Just the all combining all of this is more confusing than just focusing on one of them. I'm like, no, it doesn't work with the first part.

• 31:57Speaker 04

  I'm gonna give you, I'm gonna give you 15 seconds.

• 32:00Speaker 05

  Oh, no, don't do that. Now, now I'm panicking. Uh, no, hold on. Stop. I don't.

• 32:05Speaker 06

  Just guess of the goddamn.

• 32:07Speaker 05

  Unicycle.

• 32:10Speaker 06

  Oh.

• 32:11Speaker 05

  He made me guess.

• 32:13Speaker 04

  To your credit, Bob, I think you really have given good suggestions.

• 32:18Speaker 06

  Can I get a different partner for this project?

• 32:20Speaker 04

  Nope.

• 32:22Speaker 06

  Okay.

• 32:24Speaker 05

  He made me panic. He made me panic.

• 32:25Speaker 06

  People are crashing so many cars right now because this, they know what it is already and they're waiting for you to get it.

• 32:31Speaker 05

  Well, I'm not good at this, so I'm doing my best.

• 32:34Speaker 04

  Well, you got two senses left and the next one is gonna be smell. And no, no reminding on any of the other ones.

• 32:44Speaker 06

  Okay. No reminding.

• 32:45Speaker 04

  No remindees.

• 32:46Speaker 06

  I'm gonna describe the smell that you would smell when using this thing. You smell bourbon chicken. You smell soft pretzels. You smell, uh, candy. You smell, uh, the body odor of a person standing kind of close to you. You smell maybe cleaning solution while you're using this thing.

• 33:16Speaker 05

  Well, I'm so off base of where I'm at. Okay.

• 33:18Speaker 06

  Paint a picture in your mind of all these smells. What do you smell those smells altogether? You can do it.

• 33:26Speaker 04

  I need to set timers because this is only the first one. It's been like 15 minutes. I gotta.

• 33:31Speaker 05

  Yeah. Well, listen, it's, this is hard. Okay, man?

• 33:34Speaker 04

  Yeah, I'm gonna give you 30 seconds to think about that one.

• 33:39Speaker 05

  Okay. Well, I'm picturing you're at like a theme park or carnival, bourbon chicken. Those.

• 33:44Speaker 06

  Now, where do you smell bourbon chicken? That's an interesting one to focus on.

• 33:47Speaker 05

  Well, I was thinking like the turkey legs, but like a bourbon chicken like this. I don't know. Uh, a lot of cooking, a lot of cooking things involved in this.

• 33:53Speaker 04

  10 seconds.

• 33:55Speaker 05

  Uh, they're not a grill, but.

• 33:57Speaker 04

  Five.

• 33:58Speaker 05

  No, stop. Hold on.

• 34:00Speaker 04

  Guess.

• 34:01Speaker 05

  Fuck grill. I don't know, man.

• 34:06Speaker 06

  I love those moving grills you ride.

• 34:08Speaker 05

  I know it's not a grill, but it's only when I, I was working my way through these. I'm not good at the timer. The timer fucks me up.

• 34:14Speaker 06

  Just don't think about the timer. Just let Mark think about the timer. You're good.

• 34:17Speaker 05

  Oh, he said I had to guess, so I just threw out the word I was thinking about that moment. I'm working my way through.

• 34:21Speaker 04

  You do gotta guess. I felt like 30 seconds was a pretty rich amount of time to guess with.

• 34:27Speaker 05

  For me, I need 20 minutes.

• 34:29Speaker 06

  What's the last sense? Is it hearing?

• 34:31Speaker 04

  It's, yeah, it is sound. It is sound. This is your last chance to get a single point out of this.

• 34:38Speaker 05

  I'm sorry, Bob. I'm, I'm sorry. I'm the worst partner ever.

• 34:42Speaker 06

  When you ride this thing, you hear the laughter of children. You hear metallic clunking and clanking inside a kind of a slow pace. You hear music at a relatively low volume, just sort of in the background of this, uh, when you're on this thing. You hear the sound of bourbon chicken cooking.

• 35:07Speaker 06

  You know, you love that sound. You know that sound. You may also hear the ding of an elevator door opening. I know you can do it. I believe in you.

• 35:18Speaker 04

  Uh, that was a warning, Bob. That was a warning.

• 35:20Speaker 06

  I know. I, I know I was pushing it, but come on, come on.

• 35:29Speaker 06

  Oh no. Come on, you got this. Piece it together. Make, make your last cogent guess. I believe in you.

• 35:35Speaker 05

  Okay. I'm gonna talk through, I'm allowed to talk through the things. He's not allowed to tell me a give. I'm allowed to talk through them, right?

• 35:40Speaker 04

  Yeah, well, you got, you got, your time already started, by the way. I, I just hope you know.

• 35:46Speaker 05

  Up arm grooves, familiar grooves, smell of bourbon chicken.

• 35:51Speaker 04

  So sorry. You have to guess now. I set that timer when he was describing.

• 35:56Speaker 05

  I don't want carousel.

• 35:58Speaker 04

  Oh my God. I'm so sorry, Bob. Whoa. Do you wanna reveal it or do you want I?

• 36:04Speaker 05

  Elevator, the eleva- I was trying to throw us in the elevator, man. I was trying, but I didn't get there.

• 36:09Speaker 06

  It's the other kind of elevator also called an escalator in a mall. Where you might smell bourbon chicken, literally the only place on earth I've ever seen such a dish exist.

• 36:24Speaker 05

  I was lost at the theme park.

• 36:25Speaker 06

  Oh, the proprioception one. That's, you know, that feeling when you get on the escalator and you're like, oh, the hand thing is so much faster than, and you gotta keep move.

• 36:33Speaker 05

  Okay. I don't know that one as well, cause I don't ever touch those. Cause I, it really gross me out. So I never touch the handrails.

• 36:39Speaker 04

  That is increible.

• 36:42Speaker 05

  I'm sorry, Bob. You did a really good job in hindsight. I just wasn't there. I couldn't bring myself there.

• 36:47Speaker 04

  Yeah. I thought the proprioception was gonna get it right away. It, it was almost like, oh my God, I can't let them do proprioception because that's gonna get it immediately. Cause it's so, oh.

• 36:56Speaker 05

  Hi, I'm one of your contestants.

• 36:58Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 37:00Speaker 04

  So that is zero points for both of you, but it was very entertaining. It was incredibly entertaining.

• 37:06Speaker 05

  Let's hope I'm better at describing than guessing.

• 37:09Speaker 06

  Yeah. My only comfort is that I'm maybe a qualified guesser, but I have to use whatever you tell me to make my guesses. So. We'll see how this end goes. This might be the first zero to zero episode in his three.

• 37:26Speaker 04

  All right. So this was educational for me as well. I'm actually gonna take proprioception off the menu just because I feel like, you know, it, it throws things off. It's such a nice granularity with the four senses, you know, that it is. It could be powerful, could not be powerful. And I don't even know if the feeling of going up is part of it, but I feel like it could be, but who knows? We're just gonna keep it to the four senses besides sight.

• 37:49Speaker 05

  All right. What's mine? Or wait, don't say it out loud.

• 37:51Speaker 06

  I wasn't gonna. I'll, I'll cover my ears.

• 37:54Speaker 05

  Should I just go home for this? I am home. Should I just go away for this episode?

• 37:58Speaker 04

  So we, we, we keep it to the exact sense only that you're describing. You can't go back and remind of things. And definitely don't base things off of previous, you know, senses. It's keep it to that sense and that sense only. Don't mention associated other things beside, you have to keep your description to the thing that is being described. Like the elevator, that was the examples, like the, the ding of an elevator. I'd be like, that's a sound not pertaining to the thing. So the sense that you're currently doing has to be to the thing.

• 38:31Speaker 06

  Would you say the smells that I did were okay? Because that's not how the escalator smells, but like, that's absolutely what you would smell on a lot of escalators.

• 38:41Speaker 04

  And it's a, I, I would say, oh, I guess actually you're right. If that is.

• 38:44Speaker 06

  Cause I was describing stuff that was not the escalator, but you don't really smell an escalator. So I wasn't sure how to approach that.

• 38:51Speaker 04

  I think, I think if I'm have to be adherence to the rules, it has to be smells that are only to the device that, cause now I think, yeah, the chicken, okay, that, that probably would be outside. So it has to be.

• 39:02Speaker 05

  That's why I went to like grill and stuff. Cause I was also like, oh, okay. I'm smelling the things that are cooked on it or.

• 39:07Speaker 04

  It's gonna be difficult using the senses, but that's part of the point. So.

• 39:11Speaker 05

  Okay. So the answer to my question then is no. I sent you a question. I'm assuming the answer that's just no.

• 39:16Speaker 04

  Oh.

• 39:18Speaker 05

  I, yeah, that's, that's tough question, right? But like, I think, I think based on your answer, it's no.

• 39:23Speaker 04

  Because of Bob had this chance in his round to do it, I will only apply the rule of that for this particular thing you asked me to the next one. We'll, cause we'll keep it so that the, the kind of exploratory advantages that Bob had in this one, I'll give you this, but only this one that you asked. All right. I'm spinning the wheel of senses and your first sense is.

• 39:50Speaker 04

  Smell.

• 39:51Speaker 05

  All right. So sometimes there's the light smell of gasoline, but more often than not, various colognes, perfumes, deodorants, body odors kind of permeate and maybe the smell of maybe leather. You can get leather, a leathery smell from it, probably. I'm trying to think of the word for a smell like musty is the wrong word, but tangential to musty.

• 40:18Speaker 04

  Okay. And 30 seconds to guess and go.

• 40:21Speaker 06

  Feel like a lot of these wore down a certain pathway. Musty or whatever that's related to throws me off a little bit, but I still.

• 40:29Speaker 05

  Yeah, that's fair.

• 40:30Speaker 06

  Is this, I can't ask questions. We're still doing things, right? This is a thing.

• 40:34Speaker 04

  It's still a thing. It's still a thing. All these are things.

• 40:37Speaker 06

  Is, is it, I don't know if this is specific enough. Is it cologne?

• 40:41Speaker 05

  No, colognes and perfumes were one of the descriptors I used.

• 40:45Speaker 04

  Not cologne. All right. That's smell is down. Next, sound.

• 40:52Speaker 05

  There's a sound of air flowing, people chatting, murmuring, a very loud humming noise. Uh, that's pretty constant. I guess the occasional sound of footsteps. The main sound, the constant is the, the loud humming.

• 41:06Speaker 04

  Okay. And guessing now.

• 41:09Speaker 06

  Ah, this is just not a thing. I feel like is what I'm stuck on in terms of a guess. Uh, wait, constant humming.

• 41:16Speaker 04

  10 seconds.

• 41:17Speaker 06

  Is this a train?

• 41:20Speaker 04

  No, it is not a train.

• 41:23Speaker 05

  I don't want to, I don't think I can make commentary on your guess.

• 41:26Speaker 04

  Nope. All right. Nick, you're down to two senses. The next one is going to be taste.

• 41:33Speaker 05

  Oh man, based on the question I asked you, I'm almost afraid to give that, but if you taste the outside of this thing, oh man, how do I describe this without giving too much? Um, I don't know if it's metallic. Uh, I taste metallic and like a bunch of bugs. Uh, if you taste around the inside of this thing, again, a lot of taste of leather, some glass and I don't know what the taste of glass is, but like the.

• 42:04Speaker 06

  Something. It's a thing.

• 42:05Speaker 05

  I don't know why you would ever have this and do this with, but if you have like an old toy and you lick an old plastic toy, there's like that sensation of that taste hitting your tongue. There can be good tastes like cookies.

• 42:16Speaker 06

  I feel like I know what it is, but I feel like it's gonna be wrong.

• 42:20Speaker 05

  If you think, I, I feel like that was a lot. I want to give more, but I feel like that was already a lot. So I'll stop there.

• 42:24Speaker 04

  All right. Okay. All right. And guess.

• 42:26Speaker 06

  The one thing that started me off from this guess is that it occasionally smells like gasoline. Cause the thing that I want to guess sort of definitely doesn't do that. And there's another thing that does do that, but then the leather taste doesn't make any sense.

• 42:41Speaker 05

  You might have a different experience than I'm, if you feel like you know.

• 42:44Speaker 06

  It's, I want to say airplane.

• 42:47Speaker 04

  Ding, ding, ding, ding. That is it. Congratulations.

• 42:51Speaker 06

  Oh God.

• 42:53Speaker 05

  So I'm trying to think like, not just on.

• 42:55Speaker 06

  What airplane have you been on that smells like gas?

• 42:58Speaker 05

  Not when you're on, but I was trying to think like, okay, when you're outside, they're filling it with gas and there is that smell. Like if you ever boarded a airplane like from outside, sometimes you'll smell them fueling it.

• 43:07Speaker 06

  I've never like noticed that. Maybe I'm just not sensitive to it, but.

• 43:11Speaker 05

  I like the smell of gas. So I remember smelling it when they did that.

• 43:13Speaker 06

  Cause I was thinking the smell of gas made me think bus.

• 43:18Speaker 05

  I figured if I got you, once I got you to train, I was like, okay, planes, trains, automotive, we're on the right course. I was going to be so specific. I was like, oh, like Biscoff cookies is what you taste. So I was like, that's too, that's too much.

• 43:28Speaker 06

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 43:29Speaker 04

  Yeah, no, that was, that was really good, guys. That was the easy one.

• 43:34Speaker 06

  Oh, good.

• 43:35Speaker 04

  I thought, I thought that was gonna be, uh, easy. So.

• 43:39Speaker 05

  I do think planes easier than escalator to guess.

• 43:41Speaker 04

  Possibly. I don't know.

• 43:43Speaker 05

  I'm, I'm glad I got to describe that.

• 43:45Speaker 04

  Yeah. That's why I took proprioception. Cause like you're going up and.

• 43:49Speaker 06

  Uh, you feel yourself of like, ah, you know, maybe.

• 43:51Speaker 05

  Proprioception for the, you feel like your body leans back as if under high acceleration as it goes up.

• 43:58Speaker 04

  I would apply that to touch. So there's certain things proprioception that I'm like, okay, touch might, might apply to this. However, I'm going to be more strict about taste of glass. I'm like, ah, that's, that's a little, you know, I metallic has a specific taste. I can, I can get behind that, but then taste the glass. I don't think glass is much taste. You taste the things on the glass and then cookies, it's not part of the plane. So from here on out.

• 44:24Speaker 05

  Yeah. That's why, that's why I messaged you about that one specifically.

• 44:26Speaker 04

  Yeah. Yeah, exactly. So from here on out, it has to be specific to the item in question.

• 44:31Speaker 05

  Oh, I'm sorry in advance, Bob. I'm gonna do my best.

• 44:34Speaker 06

  This is gonna be fun.

• 44:36Speaker 05

  I just have to guess the taste of a Y chromosome. That's it. Y chromosome.

• 44:39Speaker 04

  All right. I can't do that one. There's no fucking way you'd ever get that.

• 44:44Speaker 05

  It tastes like college. It tastes like a college experiment. One that would make the old kings very happy because it's a boy.

• 44:52Speaker 04

  Bob, I'm giving you yours. And also I'm going to keep the description to a minute. So the description has to be in a minute and then guessing has to be in 30 seconds.

• 45:00Speaker 05

  We're in trouble, Bob.

• 45:02Speaker 04

  Bob, you have yours. I'm spinning the wheel for the first sense.

• 45:06Speaker 06

  Oh, right. Okay.

• 45:07Speaker 04

  And the first sense is going to be taste.

• 45:13Speaker 06

  Oh.

• 45:14Speaker 04

  Three, two, one, go.

• 45:18Speaker 06

  It has a very faint taste. It tastes vaguely of petroleum chemicals and that's about it.

• 45:30Speaker 06

  You, you, you do, you do taste this thing on occasion because of the way that it is used is a thing, but almost never will you taste the taste because it has such a subtle taste, flavor.

• 45:45Speaker 04

  All right. We'll call it. All right. And guess three, two, one, go.

• 45:49Speaker 05

  Plastic spork.

• 45:51Speaker 06

  I'm not saying anything about that answer.

• 45:53Speaker 04

  Well, you watch yourself.

• 45:55Speaker 06

  Sorry.

• 45:58Speaker 06

  That's wrong. That's wrong. No, Colin.

• 46:01Speaker 04

  All right. I'll start deducting parts.

• 46:03Speaker 06

  Okay, okay, okay. I don't have any, so you can't take any. Well, I got one, I guess.

• 46:08Speaker 04

  Yeah. All right. And next up is.

• 46:14Speaker 04

  Touch and go.

• 46:17Speaker 06

  Bad touch feels.

• 46:22Speaker 06

  I honestly, I, it feels smooth when you touch it, but in a way that's just, it's bad. It's a bad smooth. It's terrible. It's possibly the worst kind of smooth that could be just, ugh, ah, you know, I would never.

• 46:40Speaker 05

  God, the only thing I feel that way about styrofoam.

• 46:43Speaker 04

  Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. That's it with three points.

• 46:47Speaker 05

  Bob, what a good description.

• 46:49Speaker 06

  Bad touch.

• 46:52Speaker 05

  I was like, ugh, plasticky petroleumy smooth, styrofoam.

• 46:57Speaker 04

  It is good. I think, yeah, I could, I, I don't know if I'd call it petroleum products taste, but hey, you know, I think it's got a little bit of that, you know, it's got that, you know?

• 47:06Speaker 06

  I, I guess I don't actually know that. I just assumed it was.

• 47:09Speaker 05

  Oh, cause you do put like styrofoam cups to your mouth. It's like, when do you put styrofoam in your mouth? Oh yeah, that, oh.

• 47:14Speaker 06

  You, if you, if you don't mind styrofoam, you use styrofoam a lot for eating and drinking. So you do have it in your mouth quite a bit.

• 47:20Speaker 04

  It's true. Yeah. A lot of takeout containers are styrofoam. So I get that. And yeah, now the, the, the clue giver cannot react to the guessers.

• 47:29Speaker 06

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. I, I see. I know what I did there. This says, yes, styrofoam is made from petroleum. It's a synthetic plastic created from liquid hydrocarbon called styrene, which is a byproduct of crude oil and natural gas refining.

• 47:42Speaker 04

  It definitely is. Yes. But whether, whether or not you can taste that, yeah, I'll, I'll allow it. I'll allow it.

• 47:48Speaker 06

  Oh, you definitely taste it. You definitely taste it.

• 47:50Speaker 04

  Okay. Wade, I'm sending you yours.

• 47:54Speaker 05

  Wait, hold on. I got a question for you.

• 47:56Speaker 04

  Okay. Yeah. Yeah. What's that?

• 47:59Speaker 04

  Yeah. What's up?

• 48:00Speaker 05

  Yeah, I know. Yeah. You cannot.

• 48:02Speaker 04

  Okay, great. Just wanted to make sure.

• 48:04Speaker 06

  Yeah. Uh huh.

• 48:05Speaker 04

  So your first, your first sense, your first sense is taste.

• 48:11Speaker 05

  And go. Oh man, it tastes pleasant. Um, oh God, it's.

• 48:19Speaker 04

  All the.

• 48:19Speaker 05

  Fuck you, Mark. It's, um.

• 48:23Speaker 05

  Mild. It tastes like, like you want something else to go with it. Like it's, like it's insufficient on its own. Tastes good. It's good.

• 48:33Speaker 04

  God, that's so, I die.

• 48:36Speaker 05

  You know, you know, Bob, you know what I mean?

• 48:38Speaker 04

  All right. Well, I guess that's good there, Bob. Start guessing.

• 48:42Speaker 06

  It tastes pleasant, tastes mild, tastes like you want other flavors to go with it, but it tastes good.

• 48:51Speaker 04

  Mm hmm.

• 48:52Speaker 06

  Uh huh. I know what this is. Yeah, I can taste it barely.

• 49:00Speaker 06

  I think this is whipped cream.

• 49:03Speaker 04

  Ah, damn. Nope. Sorry. That is not it. All right. Okay.

• 49:08Speaker 06

  Okay.

• 49:09Speaker 04

  Next sense.

• 49:11Speaker 05

  Oh, please give me the sense I want.

• 49:13Speaker 04

  No, no, I don't know. It's up to the wheel. It's up to the wheel.

• 49:18Speaker 04

  Smell and go.

• 49:22Speaker 05

  Ah.

• 49:24Speaker 05

  Man, what a what a scent to describe without using describer words. Um, it smells like such a good mold.

• 49:34Speaker 04

  Such a good mold?

• 49:36Speaker 05

  I think, um, it smells, I, oh, God, I think it has a, a strong scent. I have a really terrible sense of smells. This is kind of a harder one for me to do. A lot of the smells overlap with the taste, but I think the smell.

• 49:52Speaker 04

  Fifteen seconds.

• 49:53Speaker 05

  I think, I think it was a strong smell.

• 49:55Speaker 04

  Alright.

• 49:57Speaker 05

  There's, there's specific reasons why I can't give you a lot, Bob. I, I wish I could.

• 50:01Speaker 06

  Alright, and guessing. Okay, this thing has a very pleasant but mild taste that you want to put other stuff with it. And while it tastes mild, it has a strong smell.

• 50:14Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 50:15Speaker 04

  Ten seconds.

• 50:16Speaker 06

  Is it some kind of cheese?

• 50:21Speaker 04

  What kind?

• 50:22Speaker 06

  Well, if it has a strong smell, it must be blue cheese.

• 50:26Speaker 05

  Nope, not that, unfortunately. So you got touch and sound left. I hope you get sound. God damn it. Yeah, you got sound. Alright.

• 50:39Speaker 06

  Alright, what cut, what does this cheese sound like, Wade?

• 50:43Speaker 04

  I think, I think you got a chance here. I think you got a chance.

• 50:46Speaker 05

  Okay, if you flick it, um, the sound would not fully resonate. It would dissipate quicker.

• 50:58Speaker 06

  I know what it is.

• 51:00Speaker 05

  Please, God, help me.

• 51:01Speaker 06

  Do you have more descriptors or shall I guess?

• 51:03Speaker 05

  Oh, if you throw it.

• 51:06Speaker 00

  The Lemonati has spent decades keeping lemon on top and lime in the shadows. Their lemon agenda has infiltrated everything, even our music. That hit song named after the color of lemons? Not a coincidence. Big Lemon has been pulling strings in the industry for years. Think about it. But now, 7-Up is fighting back with their new Lime Lemon Soda. Now lime comes first. 7-Up, flip the sip.

• 51:35Speaker 05

  Hits the ground. It sounds like cheese.

• 51:42Speaker 06

  Alright, yes, I know what this is. I know what this is. Sure, sure, sure.

• 51:47Speaker 05

  If you bite into it, it makes the sound of biting into cheese.

• 51:53Speaker 06

  Oh, sure, sure. Yeah, I know, I know this. I know what this is. It was really the last one about the biting into the cheese that got me there. Is it brie?

• 52:05Speaker 04

  Oh, no.

• 52:06Speaker 05

  God damn it.

• 52:09Speaker 06

  Oh, fuck.

• 52:10Speaker 05

  Give me, give me the, the one sense I wanted most.

• 52:13Speaker 04

  Alright, it's, it's touch, it's touch.

• 52:16Speaker 05

  Oh, man, Bob, you feel this thing. And it's a nice square shape. And then, as you're feeling the flatter side, you can feel ridges as your fingers go right through it in parts.

• 52:30Speaker 06

  Your description was just wrong, though.

• 52:34Speaker 05

  Okay.

• 52:35Speaker 06

  Your description was backward. It's Swiss cheese?

• 52:40Speaker 04

  It's Swiss cheese. It's Swiss cheese.

• 52:43Speaker 05

  Wouldn't the sound go bad? Which description was bad?

• 52:46Speaker 04

  I wanted to give Swiss cheese because I, I knew that specifically that had identifiable features to it.

• 52:52Speaker 06

  You said that it had a mild taste and a strong smell.

• 52:57Speaker 05

  I don't eat a lot of Swiss.

• 52:58Speaker 06

  I would describe most Swiss cheese as having a super mild smell, but a really sharp tangy taste because of, because of the, so I was thinking of like brie and stuff because that's so mild.

• 53:12Speaker 05

  See, when I think of the sharp, like cheddar to me as like, and some of the other cheeses are crazy. I don't smell cheese as well as other people. So like, I don't, I don't smell Swiss that much.

• 53:21Speaker 04

  I was also thinking sound where it could be, if you hold it up to your lips and go, you'll hear like a hollow sound to it.

• 53:30Speaker 05

  That would have been, I would have accepted that.

• 53:32Speaker 04

  I was like, just please, God, give me touch first. Give me touch first. Oh, man, you, yeah, no, I swear to God, I spun the wheel and that was it.

• 53:40Speaker 05

  How to describe the taste of cheese without using the word cheese was.

• 53:44Speaker 06

  Tangy, creamy.

• 53:46Speaker 04

  Nutty.

• 53:47Speaker 06

  Dry.

• 53:49Speaker 05

  I don't have those descriptors for cheese. I have, it tastes like cheese.

• 53:54Speaker 06

  What color cheese does it taste like?

• 53:57Speaker 05

  What you're tasting is something that's not American, Bob. It doesn't taste American at all.

• 54:03Speaker 06

  It tastes like foreign cheese.

• 54:05Speaker 05

  It tastes like it would be neutral in a war, Bob.

• 54:08Speaker 06

  Oh, that would have been such a sick one, though, because you'd be like, ah, it's a very neutral taste. Yeah, it's very mild, very neutral.

• 54:16Speaker 05

  Very pacifist taste.

• 54:18Speaker 06

  Feels neutral to the touch.

• 54:21Speaker 05

  But rich, like, man, you would love to bank there.

• 54:23Speaker 06

  So I got to cheese really fast, just not the correct one.

• 54:26Speaker 04

  Yeah, yeah, that was, that was, that was my bad for giving like something with a specificity like that, but very well done.

• 54:34Speaker 05

  That was really funny because, and the wheel punished me accordingly.

• 54:38Speaker 04

  Unfortunately, I don't think we have enough time because if we did do another, we'd have to do a back and forth. So I don't think we have time for two more.

• 54:44Speaker 05

  Speed round.

• 54:45Speaker 04

  No, you guys won't. You guys would not. I know you guys.

• 54:50Speaker 05

  We got through three rounds in half an hour. That's not great.

• 54:54Speaker 04

  Four, we did do four rounds. So we did four rounds in half an hour. Yeah, because Bob went first, then you, and then Bob and you. Yeah. So that was four. Because it started with escalator, then airplane, then styrofoam, then Swiss cheese. So yeah, we did four. Well done, guys. I'm going to call it there. Uh, I actually have to count the points. I don't know. Wade, you're first. You had that niche reference point. You got derecho, no exception. That's funny. You got two points for having two senses left on airplane. You got one point for guessing styrofoam, and you got Swiss cheese on the very last one. So it gives you seven points. Bob, fifteen foot bridge, I-75 construction, you went first. Airplane, you

• 55:34Speaker 04

  got the guess there. Bad touch, very funny. You got three points for styrofoam, and then one point for guessing Swiss cheese. That gives you nine points to Wade's seven.

• 55:47Speaker 06

  Alright.

• 55:48Speaker 05

  Incoming golf rules.

• 55:50Speaker 06

  I like this theme of Wade ending episodes being down by two.

• 55:52Speaker 05

  Oh, not that you should use this now, Bob, but don't you have to do points for your downtime at some point?

• 55:58Speaker 06

  Oh, I forgot to do that in the one I just hosted. Didn't matter. It would have, it, it wouldn't have helped you, but.

• 56:04Speaker 05

  You don't know that.

• 56:05Speaker 06

  Mathematically, I feel like I do.

• 56:06Speaker 04

  Wade, you're down two points, so there's still a chance.

• 56:10Speaker 05

  Hasn't stopped me before, except for the times it has.

• 56:12Speaker 06

  Come on, one spin.

• 56:15Speaker 05

  Never count me out.

• 56:17Speaker 04

  We're gonna count you out as well.

• 56:20Speaker 05

  Alright, he got what he wanted. Come on, golf rules.

• 56:23Speaker 06

  No chance.

• 56:24Speaker 05

  We each get one thing we ask for.

• 56:27Speaker 04

  How about, uh, use the most senses in an episode? We're gonna land on that. It's gonna be, or as we call in this show, a respin spot.

• 56:37Speaker 05

  I smelled my armpit. I tasted a drink. I watched this and I listened to you guys. I did it.

• 56:43Speaker 06

  One spin, baby.

• 56:46Speaker 05

  Give me golf rules or host wins, which I prefer the golf rules. By the way, it's funny.

• 56:50Speaker 04

  Softest boy this episode?

• 56:53Speaker 05

  Well, I've not been hard at all.

• 56:55Speaker 06

  I don't remember what that means. I gotta be honest. I don't remember or fully understand what exactly that means.

• 57:02Speaker 05

  No clue.

• 57:02Speaker 04

  Alright, respin.

• 57:03Speaker 06

  Okay.

• 57:08Speaker 04

  Put SO, wow.

• 57:10Speaker 06

  We got this last time. Put significant to the most bullshit.

• 57:14Speaker 05

  Hey, guess what, guys? I still did that.

• 57:16Speaker 04

  That's true. Yeah, the, the, the, the desk, so.

• 57:20Speaker 06

  If it was Wade, it still has to be Wade. That's true.

• 57:23Speaker 05

  In the last 20 minutes, what have you all done to your SOs?

• 57:26Speaker 04

  Alright, one times for SO bullshit. Oh, but.

• 57:30Speaker 05

  Actually, I did more to my SO between episodes because she got caught outside during a delivery that I forgot to tell her about with the dogs who almost ran into a car.

• 57:38Speaker 04

  Oopsies. Okay, well, that's not good.

• 57:40Speaker 05

  I put her through more bullshit.

• 57:42Speaker 04

  Alright, well, that puts you up one more point, Wade, but unfortunately, Bob still has a commanding lead. Well, not very commanding, but commanding enough of one more point. Nine to eight. Bob takes the episode. Congratulations, Bob.

• 57:56Speaker 06

  Yeah, yeah, I take the episode. Yeah, dude.

• 58:00Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 58:01Speaker 05

  That was a fun episode. I know, uh, I'm not very good at guessing, but it is fun. It's especially fun to be on the describing side and see where someone's brain is going. The pressure is really all on the guesser there. Like, the description is like, I want to make sure I get it right, but all of the pressure I felt like was on my guessing side. But it was very fun. I would love to continue and do more of that.

• 58:20Speaker 04

  Well, thank you very much. I appreciate it. Uh, Bob?

• 58:22Speaker 06

  I liked all of it. And I liked the balance that Mark installed into the game where the guesser could not just steal points by doing it on purpose. I don't think he did it on purpose, but it was very balanced. It felt very fair. I was rewarded heavily for my, my middle one there, or my second one being so, or was it my first one? No, it was my second one, being so quick and effective. That one, that one worked out great. It feels good to win. And next time, I'll totally remember to do that bounty thing that I was supposed to have already done. Definitely.

• 58:56Speaker 04

  Well, thank you also for participating. That was fun. We, we worked out a few more of the rules to make it a bit better. I think next time, yeah, I can do specific time for descriptions and specific time for guessing. We can get more structure there, but I think we all got that. And I'll get better matchups for future things if we do a sequel. But yeah, that was fun.

• 59:15Speaker 06

  I, I mean, it's hard to do perfect, but I thought those were fairly, no, those were fairly fair, actually. I think it was just hard.

• 59:22Speaker 04

  Yeah, I had, uh, which I might use in the future. I had laser in here and I'm, because I was like, I wonder if I gotta do a really tough one. It doesn't have.

• 59:30Speaker 06

  First, first sound, do I have to describe it or can I just make it?

• 59:33Speaker 04

  You can make it. Yeah, you could definitely make the sounds.

• 59:38Speaker 04

  But thank you everybody so much for watching and or listening. Hope you enjoyed it. If you were infuriated because you knew what it was, uh, sorry, I guess. But if you were also like, oh, it's so obviously, and then you were guessing the wrong thing. Ha ha, it's not as easy as it looks, right? Maybe. Either way, thank you everybody so much at home for, uh, listening. Uh, be sure to follow the podcast for more episodes. We have merch occasionally, distractible.shop, and, uh, you can check out some of the stuff there if it is there. If it is there. Yes, yes.
