  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, bombastic Bob and Tom makes lymph, heals his soul, then gets the guys to gaze into their crystal balls. When avoiding Wade shares deeply, becomes Bruce Wayne, gives applause, and gets a handy. Magisterial Mark dodges duty, loves GP, braces for impact, discusses dumping, and gets horny. From blood splatters to apocalypse survival, heh heh heh heh. It's time for Cloth Off the Bone.

• 2:13Speaker 03

  Now, sit back and prepare to be distracted and enjoy the show.

• 2:21Speaker 04

  Hello and welcome back to yet another episode of the show that just won't die. No matter how many times we've tried to kill it. I'm your host, Bob, because I won the last one. No, that's not my name. I just said it that way because I don't speak very well. Joined today by my two competitors and also co-hosts, technically, even though Wade hasn't hosted one of these in months. Mark and Wade, welcome, boys.

• 2:46Speaker 05

  Hey, I feel like he didn't catch a stray. That's what I was gonna say. He caught a direct hit. It was like straight between the eyes here. It was, it was right to him. I didn't even feel in danger, but I feel bad for him.

• 2:56Speaker 04

  I gotta say, you could, you could thank the subreddit for that because the, the scorekeeper on subreddit for the last time they put the score up, their literal note was, uh, here's the score. Man, Mark and Bob just keep handing it back and forth. I can't even remember the last time Wade won.

• 3:12Speaker 06

  We were all tied at four the last time I won, I think.

• 3:15Speaker 04

  You know what's really funny is I'm now leading episode wins, and Wade, you're still leading points, and Mark is leading nothing. But somehow, everyone agrees that Wade is the biggest loser regardless.

• 3:26Speaker 06

  Nothing like having the most points and the least wins. It's like the Cincinnati Bengals two, two years ago.

• 3:31Speaker 04

  Uh, it was almost like the Cincinnati Bengals this past week.

• 3:34Speaker 06

  Yeah, don't worry. I'm going to recruit and get a defense, and I'm gonna keep scoring points. I'm gonna hold you two off, and next year's, no one cares about my sports, folks.

• 3:43Speaker 04

  Uh, someone will care. Someone will get that.

• 3:45Speaker 06

  And you, you out there, Tom? Thanks for laughing.

• 3:48Speaker 04

  From Bob and Tom?

• 3:50Speaker 06

  Yeah, Bob and Tom. That's a throwback.

• 3:52Speaker 04

  Bob and Tom.

• 3:54Speaker 06

  Here and there and down along across the square. That's not right. That's a different problem. Gummy bear? I think it is gummy bears, Bob and Tom.

• 4:03Speaker 04

  This is it. This is the high-quality content you get here at Distractible Industries. Uh, and I have a game for today, just like I always do, usually. Uh, before we get into that, uh, who wants, anyone got any small talk? You wanna earn some softball points?

• 4:18Speaker 05

  I didn't go to prison for evading jury duty.

• 4:22Speaker 06

  Asterisk. Oh, that's why. I thought it was the other side.

• 4:24Speaker 05

  I didn't, why? What were you talking about?

• 4:26Speaker 04

  I would have bet a lot of money that you were gonna get that message like the second you had to leave for the airport. Your foe was gonna be like, ding, jury duty!

• 4:34Speaker 05

  It was scary because you get a text message also that reminds you to check to see if you are on call for jury duty, or if you're going to be summoned. So it was like, I saw the text and I was like, I was on the plane, on the plane wifi. I was like, oh, God, oh, no. Oh, jeez, I'm logging in with my jury card. Oh, shit, my number, my PIN code. And it was like, oh, you don't have to show up. I was like, oh, great, check back tomorrow. Oh, fuck, shit.

• 5:00Speaker 04

  It's a recurring nightmare.

• 5:01Speaker 06

  I had to call once a week for like a month, I think.

• 5:04Speaker 04

  A month? God damn.

• 5:06Speaker 06

  It was once a week for a month.

• 5:08Speaker 04

  I think it's the same process when we lived in the San Francisco area. It's a way of different part of the state. But yeah, doing that every night for a week, checking the thing, seeing if you lost the, I mean, won the lottery?

• 5:19Speaker 06

  I was like, every Tuesday at 6 o'clock, call.

• 5:22Speaker 05

  Because it's only for one week, so.

• 5:24Speaker 04

  I mean, they're completely arbitrary systems. They just need a way to get a certain number of people per day queued up in case they need them. Cause they only use a small percentage of people who actually have to go to jury duty anyway, because then they do the jury selection. It's a whole thing.

• 5:40Speaker 05

  Lucky me. And I still love the GoPro. I'm invested, but I still love it. They can't take it from me.

• 5:48Speaker 06

  Wait, why does that GoPro have seven fingers? What?

• 5:54Speaker 06

  If I don't win.

• 5:55Speaker 05

  I still feel lightheaded from taking off the back brace. I, nothing major, everybody at home. I'm just wearing a back brace because my back kinda hurt.

• 6:02Speaker 04

  Is it like the good kind of lightheaded? If that exists, or no? Okay. I don't know. I don't know that that exists. I'm just checking.

• 6:09Speaker 05

  Billy, I'm a buke, so if I throw up here, if I run out of the room real fast, you'll know it's because I did it to myself.

• 6:15Speaker 06

  If you pass out, can we call Chica or Amy?

• 6:19Speaker 05

  If Chica has a cell phone, I'm gonna be very upset because you're not allowed. Um, but you know, I think call Amy, and she doesn't answer. Don't she?

• 6:26Speaker 04

  Chica's laying in the other room, just like.

• 6:31Speaker 04

  God, I love TikTok.

• 6:33Speaker 05

  Is that a thing? How do people wear corsets? I was talking about this as soon as I, as soon as I took it off after tightening. I'm like, I bet I didn't even have it close to as tight as some people wear a corset. But it's like, how do you do that? I feel like I'm gonna pass out, and it's not even on anymore.

• 6:46Speaker 06

  Weren't those like actually physically debilitating when people wore them regularly?

• 6:50Speaker 05

  Yeah, I think so.

• 6:51Speaker 04

  I don't know about debilitating or not, but I would imagine they reshaped people's bodies, right? Like, body shape training is a thing where you just wear tighter and tighter corsets to like, get a smaller waist, and it, I assume, reshapes your organs? I don't know.

• 7:08Speaker 05

  With Sandy, she had this thing that we didn't even know about where a lot of her lower organs were, actually after her accident, it was unknown to everybody, was pushed up into her chest cavity through a hernia or like her diaphragm. Um, and so we had to give corrective surgery, and now they were able to pull it all back down. But even when they pulled it back down, they couldn't fit all of it, so they had to get rid of her spleen just to be able to fit it all back down. And I was like, holy shit. Like, so how is everyone getting reshaped? That's gotta cause some debilitating problems.

• 7:36Speaker 04

  Look, I, I have to imagine that's why they weren't terribly popular. I think some people will go through a lot to look however they want to look, to look what they think is attractive, or hot, or beautiful, or whatever. But I don't think corsets were ever broadly popular. I think they were just broadly mandated.

• 7:53Speaker 06

  Donnie Bravo only lasted four seasons, and we all know he was wearing one.

• 7:56Speaker 05

  Yeah, he's got a hip to, hip to chest ratio that is crazy.

• 8:00Speaker 04

  Maybe he just skips every muscle other than like packs and delts.

• 8:04Speaker 06

  His body shape is tornado on top of a staple. Like, there is nothing natural about that.

• 8:09Speaker 04

  Plus, he calls me mama when he shows up.

• 8:12Speaker 05

  Wait, I thought he just called me mama.

• 8:14Speaker 04

  Oh, that's my special nickname with him.

• 8:16Speaker 05

  I thought that was my special nickname.

• 8:17Speaker 06

  He looks at me, just goes, oh, and then he looks away.

• 8:25Speaker 06

  No respect. I turned into Rodney Dangerfield.

• 8:28Speaker 05

  Uh, now that's funny. That's funny.

• 8:30Speaker 04

  Mark's alive, uh, not in prison, didn't pass out, hasn't thrown up yet. Wade, what's new with you?

• 8:35Speaker 06

  Well, as you all know, we were in Minnesota, and, uh, we got back from Minnesota. We had less than a week, and then we hosted my family. My family came into town the weekend after Labor Day, whenever that is or was. And we went to a family reunion in Indiana, which was cool. Uh, so that's been a lot of fun family time, catch up, because I've not gotten to see everybody, because we've had kind of a crazy year. Well, this is less fun, but upcoming, I don't know exactly when this episode airs versus when this is happening, but Molly is having a big surgery. Uh, it's fun. We've been telling, I guess, people now, so she's having a partial hysterectomy. You guys know that. So we've been going to different appointments, and she's been doing some extra stuff she has to do to get ready for that. Not a fun process, but ultimately it's preventative, which is good. So if you guys

• 9:17Speaker 06

  don't know what all is going on, basically she tested positive for a gene that makes it to where she's some high percentage more likely to have ovarian cancer along with other few couple forms of cancer. So we're having, she's, she's elected to have surgery. I, I have no input on, she's asked me my opinion, but.

• 9:32Speaker 04

  You mean we, comrade.

• 9:33Speaker 06

  Well, we're married, so we, but it's her decisions. I've given input, but ultimately I have agreed to all the inclinations she's had. But she's having some surgery to hopefully prevent having to deal with that in the future. And, you know, fuck cancer, as we all say and feel. Uh, her mom had been going through it, which is why she got tested in the first place. And it's been a long year of health things, uh, which is what led to my heart palpitations and, not my knee, my knee was just me being an idiot. But we've just had a lot of weird health things going on this year. But the most pervasive one has been, uh, her mom's battle of this cancer, and then her with the brachial, trying to figure out what we're gonna do about that. So a lot of my time has been spent, uh, house cleaning and going to doctor's appointments and, uh, just mentally being drained, I guess. So that's

• 10:15Speaker 06

  our very fun September plans, what we've been doing and will be doing. So if all of my updates have been kind of like, oh, Wade doesn't really do anything, it's like, well. I wish, I wish I could be out doing more. We, we wanted to be doing more traveling and hosting of friends and stuff this year, but life has just had a way of preventing that.

• 10:31Speaker 04

  Sounds great. Sounds really.

• 10:33Speaker 06

  It's good to have the, the knowledge and be preventative. Uh, I think we'd rather be doing this than dealing with cancer, but it's not fun. Not a fun time.

• 10:41Speaker 04

  Well, hopefully that, I mean, we'll talk before then, but for all of you watching and listening, uh, hopefully that goes well. I'm sure everyone feels the same way. Good luck, Molly, but.

• 10:50Speaker 06

  Yeah, well, appreciate it. And I, I didn't mean to bring the mood down, but it's just one of those.

• 10:55Speaker 04

  I was trying so hard to make a joke and I couldn't find anything that I felt comfortable saying out loud.

• 11:00Speaker 05

  It's a good thing. We only give out points for funny things here. Otherwise you get a lot of pity points there. Yeah. So no sad points for you.

• 11:07Speaker 04

  Wade is already winning though, so he didn't need any more points.

• 11:10Speaker 06

  Brought the mood down with this stupid surgery of his family.

• 11:14Speaker 04

  Hey, look, if we're going to talk about health stuff that's been bumming everybody out, I got one. Guess how many holes my foot currently has in it?

• 11:21Speaker 06

  The normal two.

• 11:23Speaker 04

  The normal three. Zero.

• 11:25Speaker 06

  Oh, okay.

• 11:27Speaker 04

  It was one for a long time and then a week and a half ago it was two, but now it's zero and I get to take this stupid thing off my foot on Friday all by myself and we're.

• 11:38Speaker 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 seven up is fighting back with their new lime lemon soda. Now lime comes first. Seven up, flip the sip.

• 12:07Speaker 04

  There are two normal shoes for the first time since June to the wedding I'm officiating this weekend.

• 12:14Speaker 05

  Why were there two? Wait, was it like, you know, you guys see an iron lung when it zooms in towards the end on the one light left on O2 and you're like, it's going to go down. And then it mysteriously goes up to two. Was it like that with the holes?

• 12:26Speaker 04

  A little. I, it's annoying. I, they were, I had been getting a hard cast and I, the last hard cast I had was not put on correctly. And I got some, uh, rubbing and some blistering on my toe and, uh, one of the spots was really heavily irritated and it, the blister popped and turned into a new wound. So instead of the doctors trying to heal my wounds, healing them, they added one to it, but it, um, it healed up and scabbed over and is totally healthy. So it's not a problem. But for like, I, when that happened, I looked at my foot and saw it and was like, that's a different hole. Fuck. Like I thought I was about to have months more of this shit, but then I saw the doctor, um, yesterday morning and he was like, ah, that's fine.

• 13:10Speaker 04

  I was like, man, you were really torn up about the first hole I came in with. You have no concerns whatsoever. And he's like, ah, ah, but on Friday, just, just unwrap your leg and you're free to go. It's not a lot of instructions, but good. I guess I'm fine. I guess I don't understand footholes. I don't know how these work. Some seem bad. Some are fine. Who knows? I get to be a normal person and I'm going to have really unevenly worn shoes for a minute. Uh, but I get to finally like, take a shower without having to have half my body wrapped in plastic. In about a week. So very excited and it's good news.

• 13:43Speaker 06

  Yeah, it is nice. I have something in my eye.

• 13:46Speaker 05

  It's not because it was so sad that I cried. I have nothing in my eye.

• 13:49Speaker 04

  Oh, I'm glad you're crying. You're so happy for me that you're crying. I'll take. I am so happy for your tools. The, the number of holes went, just goes up and down violently for me. That's the kind of, that's the kind of man I am.

• 14:00Speaker 06

  I'm glad you're a man of none holes.

• 14:02Speaker 04

  Good small talk all over the place. I love a good variety of small talk.

• 14:06Speaker 05

  Do I have, this, this is where I think like, do I have allergies or something? Cause my eyes are like, I feel like, or did it squeeze everything up and my eyes are like, somehow got other juices from my body.

• 14:17Speaker 06

  It squeezed all your white blood cells out and now you have, you're allergic to everything.

• 14:22Speaker 04

  Maybe, huh? We had milked all the histamines in your body up into one spot and they got so concentrated that now you have top allergies, but no bottom allergies.

• 14:30Speaker 05

  What is the thing where it's like, you know, they, they, they scrape on the face with the stone, right? You know? It's called, and they like, it's lymphatic drainage, but it's like, there's a.

• 14:40Speaker 04

  I was gonna say, I do know what that is. Lymphatic. Yes.

• 14:43Speaker 05

  But it's like, is that a thing? Cause the lymphatic system is a mystery. I think to everybody, even scientists don't even understand that shit, but it's like, does that happen if you like squeeze like toothpaste up? Is lymph just up?

• 14:54Speaker 04

  I can tell you even so like, I've been wearing, uh, my leg has been under compression almost the whole time with my whole foot injury situation. But even if you don't have, like, I didn't have any, uh, inflammation. Once the infection was gone and with my foot, it was fine. It was back to normal. Even if you have no noticeable inflammation, if you wear compression, especially really tight compression, it literally like drains so much juice. And I a hundred percent believe you could have just like squeezed a bunch of extra juice up out of your torso by, by squeezing it a bunch, compressing it.

• 15:27Speaker 05

  How much lymph fluid is in the human body?

• 15:33Speaker 04

  Seven.

• 15:34Speaker 05

  No way. Don't you lymph, bro? Well, okay, that's an AI thing. So I'm, I'm, it, it says produces and moves. So I'm like, okay, that's not right. How much does it have?

• 15:43Speaker 04

  Add the term volume to your query and perhaps it will find the correct thing.

• 15:48Speaker 05

  Okay. Interesting. Hmm. No, that's blood.

• 15:53Speaker 04

  It's blood lymphatic liquid. Your heart's actually just for show. It's your lymphs that do all the blood stuff.

• 15:59Speaker 05

  Okay. About one to two liters, maybe.

• 16:03Speaker 04

  A two liter of soda in your body?

• 16:06Speaker 05

  Yeah, of lymph.

• 16:07Speaker 04

  That's a lot of juice.

• 16:08Speaker 05

  I don't know if like, uh, you have, you have plasma, but that's not.

• 16:12Speaker 04

  That's in your blood still, right?

• 16:13Speaker 05

  In your blood. So there's this other juice that goes around in your body and all the diagrams say it's green. So I believe that. Ew.

• 16:22Speaker 04

  It is gross. People are gross.

• 16:24Speaker 06

  I was a fan of plasma until their team stole my Pokemon.

• 16:27Speaker 05

  This is saying there's more lymph than blood in the human body. I don't know what to believe.

• 16:31Speaker 04

  I don't know if I believe that. That's, that'd be a lot. I think. How much blood do we have?

• 16:36Speaker 06

  How could I just type meow much lymph instead of how?

• 16:40Speaker 04

  Okay. Super troopers, calm down.

• 16:42Speaker 05

  Tried to cover. He's actually a cat.

• 16:44Speaker 04

  Yeah, man, I'm not. Yeah. Uh, this is not a new thing, but I've talked about it before. The, the, on Tik Tok account named Husk, who posts jokes, screwing around with AI chatbot things. One of his more recent ones, uh, he, he opens up and it's like, hey, I have a friend over and I told them I have a cat. So I need you to pretend, oh, that's actually wasn't him. I think it was someone copying. Anyway, he said, I have a friend over. I, I told him I have a cat. I need you to pretend to be a cat for me. And the, the chatbot's like, got it. Tell me when to start. And he like pauses and just goes, okay, they're here. And the AI goes. Hey, hello, it's me. Just a normal cat. Meow. Hey, I'm rubbing on your leg. Hey, meow.

• 17:28Speaker 04

  I, I knew it's going to do something completely stupid and then unhinged, but it was like, anyway. It was possibly because it was two in the morning, but it made me laugh a lot. God, those things are stupid.

• 17:39Speaker 05

  Yeah, they're stupid. Good thing they're never going to get smart.

• 17:41Speaker 06

  I've lost the plot. I don't know why I'm Googling lymph fluid anymore. I forget what's led me to this point.

• 17:46Speaker 04

  Mark gets the lymph point. We don't have to talk about it anymore. It's okay.

• 17:50Speaker 06

  Oh, but I said the lymph joke.

• 17:52Speaker 04

  I, you already got a point for how much do you limp?

• 18:11Speaker 04

  This episode of distractible is brought to you by Quince. You know, those pieces in your closet that you literally can't stop wearing? The sweater that you can't take off, pair of pants, T-shirt, that's the one that you just reach for every time it's there? Those are the pieces that make it addressed easy and those are the pieces that Quince makes.

• 18:30Speaker 05

  Not me. I like the most restrictive clothing possible, which is why I'm wearing a back brace because I don't like having any mobility at all. I like constant chafing. I'm a cool person and you should follow in my footsteps.

• 18:42Speaker 04

  Wade, how do you like what you're wearing? And please say it's Quince.

• 18:46Speaker 06

  I, I told you guys before we even started doing this, this is probably the nicest shirt that I own, like actually. I am a person who's always lived in like cheap T-shirts. I still wear shirts from high school and college. I'm like, they were oversized then they fit perfect now. Now I understand when people say something is breathable. I was like, I don't know what that, what does that mean? I put this on, it's like, oh man, it feels so nice and breathable. That's a good word. I get it now. I never understood because I own cheap stuff other than Quince. This is so nice.

• 19:17Speaker 04

  The first breathable piece of clothing you've ever had on your body? What an upgrade.

• 19:22Speaker 05

  Wade, right now you're literally the normal person at the Olympics, running alongside the athletes. And you're just like, oh, well, they're really fast.

• 19:32Speaker 06

  I never understood what a four, two, four was until now. I thought a six, five was pretty quick.

• 19:38Speaker 05

  Well, okay. Well, that all sounds nice, but what about these? Which this is not helping my masochist thing, by the way. Anyway.

• 19:46Speaker 04

  You can wear those as long as you can take it, Mark. I'll allow it.

• 19:49Speaker 05

  You can, you can make it even more restrictive by taking the elastic bands and, and tightening them. God, this is bad for me. I shouldn't, I shouldn't.

• 19:57Speaker 06

  This is great, man. This is so comfortable.

• 19:59Speaker 04

  We're not telling everyone that they have to wear Quince. We're to say that if you want the most comfortable shirt Wade's ever worn, possibly that you've ever worn. Yeah. Quince makes that. Also, I will say I'm wearing the underwear. I'm a bigger guy. I have trouble sometimes with underwear not fitting my legs or being kind of bungee. This is among the topest tier underwear I've ever worn and it's definitely not as expensive as the most expensive underwear I've ever tried. Cause I'm not saying I did that once, but it was not worth it. I would much rather have these. They're very comfortable and breathable. Yeah. I would say breathable.

• 20:32Speaker 05

  I can't breathe right now, and that just goes to show you don't need to have breathable clothing to get by.

• 20:38Speaker 04

  I think you can't breathe because your lungs are being crushed, which I think is a whole other issue from a shirt being, are you okay?

• 20:46Speaker 06

  No, this, I will wear this shirt in a lot of distractible episodes moving forward. This is the fanciest I have ever felt with clothing and that includes like wearing suits and ties.

• 20:56Speaker 04

  You can, you can, you can wrap it up quickly. Quince makes lots of stuff, not even just clothing. They make hotel quality bedding, bath, kitchen essentials, thoughtfully designed furniture. They make lots of things, even pants, like Wade was saying. Find your next fall favorites at Quince. Download the Quince app for app exclusive offers or go to quince.com slash distractible.

  Anyway, I do have a game for today, and this is another situation where uh it's basically a board game, but I'm pretty excited about it because it's one that I always think is funny when I when I come across it on social media or see it advertised. And uh the I think the game, the official game is sold as like wavelength or something, but basically you two are competing. We're gonna take turns. One of you is going to be the psychic and one of you is going to be the guesser, and I'm going to send the psychic an image that has like a little, actually it has numbers, I think, because I wanted to simplify a little bit. So it has a rating from like zero to 20 or one to 20. Um, and then somewhere on there, it'll just have pegged like this one is

• 22:11Speaker 04

  16. And then on both ends of the spectrum, it'll be like zero is a book that you would never want to read, and 20 is a book that you would love to read. And then the psychic gets their number, 16, whatever, and they have to give the guesser an example, one example, to get them to guess the correct point on the scale, right? So maybe, maybe you get one and it's like zero is not stinky at all, and 20 is the stinkiest thing you've ever smelled, and you got a seven. How do you, what can you give as an example to the other person that will make them say, oh, that's a seven out of 20 on the stinky scale, right? So every town, every round, the scale is gonna be different, and you're gonna get a different value on it. And your job as the psychic

• 22:55Speaker 04

  is going to be to get it as accurate as possible. If you get to guess dead on, it's actually, it feels counterintuitive, but if the psychic gets the person to guess exactly the right number, the person gets two points, but the psychic gets one point. But if this, if the person, look, the scoring doesn't matter. Okay, it's convoluted and made up. I looked at, I thought about this for way too long, and I still am not happy with it. You'll get points, but the psychic gets a bonus if you get them exactly there. But if the person guesses it, but it's not exactly right, the psychic is for some reason punished. This is how the game seemed to work. I'm not gonna say I comprehend it. Oh, coin flip. We're gonna see who goes first. I totally have my coin here

• 23:39Speaker 04

  because we have to have it in case someone says that word we're not supposed to say.

• 23:42Speaker 05

  Which word?

• 23:43Speaker 04

  Wade is the lady and Mark is the lion.

• 23:45Speaker 05

  Okay.

• 23:47Speaker 04

  I got lady.

• 23:48Speaker 06

  All right.

• 23:49Speaker 04

  You can pick. Does that, do you want to be the psychic first or the guesser first?

• 23:54Speaker 06

  Oh, psychic me up.

• 23:56Speaker 04

  All right. I am going to be texting you a photograph, which will have all of the information that you require.

• 24:03Speaker 05

  To do the game.

• 24:05Speaker 06

  Okay, and what's our scale range for this?

• 24:07Speaker 04

  The scale ranges from zero to 20. Okay, and the one I just sent Wade, zero would be the most pessimistic, and 20 would be the most optimistic.

• 24:18Speaker 05

  What am I doing?

• 24:19Speaker 04

  Wade is gonna give you a thing, and he's trying to get you to guess a specific point on that scale. He's trying to get you to pick a number between zero and 20, but you have to assess what he's saying and just pick where you think that falls on the scale of completely pessimistic to completely optimistic.

• 24:38Speaker 05

  Okay, got it. Okay.

• 24:40Speaker 06

  I don't have a topic. I just have those two things to work with.

• 24:43Speaker 04

  You can give any example you want that does not involve telling Mark the number you want him to guess. I would suggest ones that relate to the scale so that he has a chance.

• 24:52Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 24:52Speaker 04

  You can do whatever you want.

• 24:54Speaker 06

  So can I just say like a sentence?

• 24:56Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 24:57Speaker 06

  I would say make the most of what you've got, but there's no point and there's no hope. So why bother?

• 25:04Speaker 05

  Pretty pessimistic, but I feel like there's still room to be more pessimistic, but it's very, it's very pessimistic. I'm gonna say that's a two. If it was out of a 10, it would be a one, which would be as close as possible, but not quite there. But it's out of 20, so I'm gonna say two.

• 25:23Speaker 04

  Mark gets a point.

• 25:25Speaker 05

  Woo, one point?

• 25:27Speaker 04

  It was actually a one. Mark gets one point.

• 25:30Speaker 06

  He said zero to 20. I was like, I don't know how I make it a zero. So I'm just gonna.

• 25:34Speaker 04

  I was afraid Mark was gonna undershoot it, and that was gonna be a zero, but I think the assessment that there was more room to be more pessimistic. I think that is true.

• 25:43Speaker 06

  Yeah, so I didn't go with the.

• 25:47Speaker 06

  Batman?

• 25:48Speaker 05

  Why is Batman pessimistic? He's pretty optimistic, I think.

• 25:51Speaker 04

  All right, Mark, you should have received your psychic clue. Wade, I will tell you while Mark is preparing. Wade, this scale is a zero is a forgettable meme, and a 20 is an absolutely iconic meme.

• 26:07Speaker 05

  So I can just say what the meme is, right?

• 26:10Speaker 04

  Yeah, you could just like give a meme. You could, you might need to explain it because Wade doesn't really know a lot of memes.

• 26:16Speaker 06

  I don't know a lot of memes, so this is gonna be really funny because he's gonna.

• 26:19Speaker 05

  That's okay. I'm gonna tap in to the early 2010s.

• 26:22Speaker 06

  Good. That's the time I know zero of them. So I can't wait.

• 26:25Speaker 05

  Okay, I got you. Got you. Are you ready? Okay, bad luck, Brian.

• 26:30Speaker 06

  I know that one.

• 26:32Speaker 04

  Yeah, well, he knows what you know. Mark knows everything you know, plus some other stuff, so.

• 26:37Speaker 06

  I know that one, then it's gotta be reasonably high, but it's not like one of the memes I still see around. So it did eventually kind of go away.

• 26:45Speaker 04

  Well, he grew up, so.

• 26:46Speaker 06

  This is a zero to 20 scale?

• 26:48Speaker 04

  Zero to 20. Zero is totally forgettable meme. 20 is totally iconic.

• 26:53Speaker 06

  At the time, that was pretty, that was pretty popular, but I don't know if it was ever the biggest one. I'm gonna say a 17.

• 27:00Speaker 04

  Ooh, that was pretty good. Mark was going for 16.

• 27:05Speaker 06

  Oh, wow, okay.

• 27:06Speaker 04

  But that means you were within the range. You get a point, Wade.

• 27:09Speaker 06

  We're both, we're both right there, man.

• 27:11Speaker 04

  When I was thinking memes, I was like, I can't think of a meme that I know that Wade knows. I feel like this is a gamble, but you found, you found the way.

• 27:19Speaker 05

  Yeah, because it was like, I figured there are more popular memes like uh overly attached girlfriend kinda had a little resurgence with Obsession, the movie that came out. So it's like, I feel like, and also I believe she was able to make a YouTube career out of it. So it's like.

• 27:33Speaker 06

  I don't know if the troll, the troll face counts as one, but that one to me would be like a 20 because that one's still, I see. The harder what number for me would be like, if it was like seven or something, I would have no idea where to go with memes on that.

• 27:43Speaker 04

  All right, Wade, I sent it, send it, apparently. I sent you your next one. Mark, this scale is zero is completely unethical, and 20 is 100% above board ethical.

• 27:59Speaker 05

  All right, cool.

• 28:00Speaker 06

  So during the pandemic, it was really hard to find toilet paper. Taking toilet paper from businesses and taking it home, you know.

• 28:10Speaker 04

  Taking it, just, just taking it.

• 28:11Speaker 06

  Like, you know, you go to like a, you go to like a grocery store bathroom, and you take a roll of toilet paper home. You don't, you don't like take a whole pack, but you know, you take a roll from.

• 28:20Speaker 04

  It's there for you to use. It's offered. So I see what you're saying. It's different than like stealing a pack off the shelf is your point. I see.

• 28:28Speaker 06

  Yeah, you're not stealing a pack of toilet paper, but you're going and you're taking like a roll from a gas station bathroom.

• 28:32Speaker 04

  You know, I actually did, I don't want to get in trouble, but I did that in college.

• 28:36Speaker 06

  Oh, get him, get him, get him, get him. I know where you're at on the scale of zero to 20.

• 28:43Speaker 05

  All right, so this is real middle of the road, I feel. So you put the COVID skew in there. So I think you could be like, okay, it's a minor crisis happening, but there's desperation in there. And you know, you gotta make do, you gotta go do do, you gotta make do for your do do, and you gotta, you gotta get the toilet paper wherever you can. But it's kind of still stealing it. So I guess I'm gonna go nine. It's just, just on the edge towards, towards unethical.

• 29:07Speaker 04

  You guys are killing this game.

• 29:11Speaker 06

  I don't know if it's good for me that you're guessing so close, but man, I'm liking it.

• 29:15Speaker 05

  What was it?

• 29:15Speaker 04

  Hey, Wade was going for eight.

• 29:17Speaker 05

  I was gonna say eight first. I went, ah, I was thinking eight. Ah.

• 29:22Speaker 06

  I figure like that seven to nine range is, it's pretty hard to distinguish, but I was like, okay, you're, you're still taking. That's bad.

• 29:28Speaker 04

  From what you were saying, Mark, I was like, oh, no, it's gonna be above 10. Oh, no, you were, you were locked in. You, you got it.

• 29:35Speaker 06

  As soon as he went, but it's still stealing. I was like, nah, he's got it. It's still unethical. He's gonna go with the high, the high single digits.

• 29:41Speaker 04

  I have to say, we lived in California for like the, all of the pandemic, basically. We never, I don't know where this did happen. I've seen so many memes about all the toilet paper stuff, and I know what happened. Did you guys experience that? Do you ever have, like, we certainly had to where like, oh, the toilet paper shelves are like half empty. That's weird. I never went to the store and was unable to get toilet paper.

• 30:04Speaker 06

  We weirdly had bought like a pack, but right before they started becoming hard to get, we bought like a 24 pack or something. So we were pretty well stocked for a little while. But there were definitely points where we were like, thank God, we already had that in the house because the shelves were empty. And then like here and there, whenever it was like, when there was like a few eight packs or something, we would like grab one or grab, you know, we would grab something to hold us over. So we never didn't have any. We definitely went to the store at points and saw none on the shelves.

• 30:27Speaker 05

  I, yeah, I don't know how much toilet paper people are going through and why. How many, how many squares do you guys use?

• 30:34Speaker 04

  If I do business, I probably use four squares, anywhere between like two to four groupings of what, like depending on if it's, if it's real bad, it might take a number of wipes, but like, I don't know, some in the range of eight to 12 squares, maybe total for a, for like a regular, had a good poop situation.

• 30:57Speaker 06

  The only reason we ever bought large quantities is because we had so many damn bathrooms. These Midwestern houses have so many bathrooms. So we always like to have like two or three extra rolls per bathroom.

• 31:04Speaker 04

  We, yeah, we buy, we buy Costco packs of toilet paper just because when you buy, it's like a bunch of six packs, and we're like, this bathroom gets a six pack, this bathroom gets a six, and by the time you're done with that, you have like a few left over, but.

• 31:17Speaker 06

  Yeah, so we had just done that right before they became, it became hard to get toilet paper. And it was like, well, thank God we did that.

• 31:23Speaker 05

  Yeah, one mega roll should last a human a month, right? One. And I feel like that, that kind of tracks for me.

• 31:31Speaker 06

  See, my other issue is though, there are times where I'll like take toilet paper to like blow my nose and stuff like that, too. So I.

• 31:36Speaker 04

  Yeah, see, I know people do that, and I really try not to because sometimes you don't have Kleenex, and you just like, especially if you get sick and you happen to not have a box Kleenex in the house or whatever, like.

• 31:45Speaker 06

  I just want something flushable, so I'm not contributing to garbage. Is that weird?

• 31:49Speaker 04

  Oh, you can flush anything. As long as it goes through the toilet, flushed. No consequences after that.

• 31:55Speaker 06

  Oh, man, Bob, that's a four. It's a four.

• 31:57Speaker 04

  Uh, I could flush you, Robert De Niro.

• 32:01Speaker 04

  Hey, you did the face.

• 32:02Speaker 06

  I have nipples. Can you flush me? It's crazy.

• 32:05Speaker 04

  I love that movie. It's my favorite scene from that movie.

• 32:07Speaker 06

  Weren't they making a third one? Am I crazy? Are they making a?

• 32:10Speaker 04

  Yes, it was like announced. I saw like a trailer for it or something. Man, do I not need to see that? Mark, I have sent you your next assignment. Wade, I will tell you the scale for this one is zero is completely boring. And 20 is completely exciting, the most exciting.

• 32:30Speaker 06

  Man, we have such different tastes. I'm curious which way we'll go on this.

• 32:33Speaker 05

  A walk through a museum you have been to before.

• 32:39Speaker 04

  Do you like this museum?

• 32:41Speaker 05

  Yeah, you like it. Yeah, you like the music. Yeah, you like it.

• 32:44Speaker 04

  I've done this a lot. James, James loves the Cincinnati Museum Center. I've been there a bunch.

• 32:50Speaker 06

  So I've gone back to the museum. I'm walking through it. I like the museum. Been there before, so it's not like the most exciting thing ever, but it's still, I'd still be excited to do it. So I'm going to say this is a 13?

• 33:02Speaker 04

  That's the first one. That's the first one. That's a little ways off.

• 33:05Speaker 05

  You know, I feel like Bob fished that out of me because he asked if I liked it. And I'm like, I was just gonna leave that to that. So I was gonna say like it.

• 33:11Speaker 06

  That's fair. If you hadn't said that, I would have probably got more like a 10, but.

• 33:15Speaker 04

  Oh, wait. So we're saying I spoiled the results?

• 33:18Speaker 05

  I think, I think you spoiled the results there.

• 33:20Speaker 04

  Well, listen, I've, I've, while, while we've been doing this, I have been rethinking the point situation for the psychics. If you sincerely would have guessed 10, which you set off handedly before I made this offer, and I'm the one who spoiled it, 10 was what he was going for. 10 would have been exactly correct.

• 33:37Speaker 06

  That was pretty middle of the road until it was like a museum I like. That did sway me more toward like the 10 to 11 to 15 range, because that was pretty.

• 33:45Speaker 04

  What that would mean, if I'm going to give you credit for that, is that you would get the point, but the psychic who gets the exact correct guess gets two lie points. And the fates will decide what happens with the lie points.

• 34:00Speaker 05

  I'm fine with that because that is, that is what I was gonna go for.

• 34:03Speaker 06

  I said it. So like, I'm not going to retract it. That's about where I was at was like an even 10.

• 34:08Speaker 04

  All right, I will try to shut my goddamn trap.

• 34:11Speaker 06

  I need to understand again what lie points mean, because I think there's a thing on the wheel that says lie points are absolute.

• 34:16Speaker 04

  Lie points don't count unless you hit that thing on the wheel is what I thought that meant. Lie, lie points, because the points are a lie. But then there are things on the wheel where the lie points then do count.

• 34:27Speaker 06

  Do we have negative points become positive on there?

• 34:30Speaker 05

  Well, that's what absolute means.

• 34:32Speaker 04

  Yeah, there's a point where lie points become absolute, but I don't know if there's a thing where all negative points become absolute. I could add that. I could add that as my, that's a good wheel thing.

• 34:41Speaker 05

  Yeah, now I'm trying to remember what, what the hell it means.

• 34:44Speaker 04

  Then there's incentive for the judges to give more negative points just to have some stuff out there, because.

• 34:49Speaker 05

  And we know that when, as soon as we add something to the wheel, it will be hit 10 times, even more times than we spin it, it will be hit.

• 34:56Speaker 06

  Man, remember whenever viewers and listeners used to get it all the time? Anyway.

• 34:58Speaker 04

  Good thing we deleted those. Show you the wheel. We didn't delete nothing. That's why it sucks. But sometimes it's funny and we just need to hit the exact right scenario.

• 35:08Speaker 06

  Point for whoever's cloth is more off the bone today. What does that mean?

• 35:15Speaker 06

  I don't remember that reference at all. That's like half the shit we see on there.

• 35:18Speaker 05

  Uh, I don't think it's that obscure, but now I really want whose cloth is more off the bone.

• 35:23Speaker 04

  Yeah, stop giving me ideas. I already have two I need to add to the wheel now.

• 35:34Speaker 04

  Listen, turn of the century, Mark. Calm down. Kill your jets, see? All right, Wade, I sent you the next one. And Mark, you'll be great at this. This scale is zero is the most niche emoji. And 20 is the most common, popular emoji. So 20 would be like smiley face. And zero would be like, I don't know, one I can't think of because I don't use it. Zero would be red car in traffic, some shit. Is that an emoji? It's probably out there.

• 36:07Speaker 04

  Can I just say I'm, I'm really proud to, no one has immediately looked at it and like mouthed the number or just said it instinctively, because every, I'm sending.

• 36:15Speaker 05

  74!

• 36:17Speaker 06

  Man, I'm trying. This is, because I've got to, I've got to think about how everyone else uses them, not just.

• 36:21Speaker 05

  Yeah, you, you kind of know what emojis I use.

• 36:24Speaker 04

  You do. Mark does have, and Mark has an interesting library of emojis that he goes to. He doesn't just stick, I only ever use the like suggested ones. So I think I use thumbs up and happy face, and that's about it. Maybe the 100 once in a while.

• 36:37Speaker 06

  I'm going to say the like clapping your hands emoji.

• 36:42Speaker 05

  Okay, just the hands by themselves?

• 36:44Speaker 04

  The one that goes between words when you're like, he did not flinch.

• 36:50Speaker 05

  20 is the most common, right?

• 36:52Speaker 04

  Yes, 20 is the most pop- popular, common. Zero is the most niche.

• 36:58Speaker 05

  Of the smiling faces emojis, obviously like regular smile would be up there for most common. All happens all the time. And then there's actually a kind of a spread of the various smiles that go down in popularity from like the melty face to the, to the, you know, the, the, the horny one, you know, that one?

• 37:16Speaker 04

  I, I also would say of the horny one, I think that was what you mean.

• 37:19Speaker 05

  Uh, so there's, there's all kinds of things. With the hand ones, there's the pointings, thumbs up, the clapping, and then prayer hands. Of those, probably thumbs up being the most popular, if I'm trying to think of it like this, it's like thumbs up, maybe this is kind of up there too, at least for me. But I don't use this very much. And like what Bob was saying, it's kind of niche in its utility. It's not like when people are saying, that was, that was a great video. They're going, yeah, that's not how they're using it. It's really only used for, yes, period. But it's still used a good bit.

• 37:53Speaker 05

  I want to say like 13.

• 37:55Speaker 04

  Wow, you guys are still locked in.

• 37:58Speaker 05

  What was it?

• 37:59Speaker 04

  It was 14.

• 38:00Speaker 05

  Oh, that's also, I was thinking 14, fuck!

• 38:04Speaker 06

  Man, the way you were talking through, I was like, dude, he could say a six, he could say a 20. I have no idea. Okay, no, not 20. We're going, we're, we're in like the 15, six to 15 range.

• 38:12Speaker 04

  I literally was like 14, no, 14, no, 13, fuck!

• 38:16Speaker 05

  Every time I do it to myself.

• 38:18Speaker 04

  But see, as far as the game though, Mark, 13 is what you want, because you still get the point. You don't get any more points for an exact guess, but then Wade didn't get his lie points.

• 38:29Speaker 06

  I'm just glad that I'm doing well enough to where you're like in the range. That makes me happy. So whatever the points are, whatever, man.

• 38:35Speaker 04

  I was thinking this one would be kind of weird, because I couldn't play it with myself, you know, to sort of like see. So I wasn't sure if this was going to be a game that would be like impossible or what. You guys are killing it right now.

• 38:48Speaker 06

  Dude, I was going through it. I was like, okay, crying is popular, kissing is popular, hearts are popular, cry laughing is popular, thumbs up is popular, and then maybe that one is like six. That's how I got there.

• 38:59Speaker 04

  All right, Mark. I send you another one. Wade, the scale on this one is that zero is a bad first date, the worst first date even. And 20 is a great first date, best one you could think of.

• 39:13Speaker 05

  I got it. I don't even need to think about it. You went on the date, you came home dropping her off, a nice firm handshake.

• 39:26Speaker 06

  That's below average.

• 39:32Speaker 04

  I said nice.

• 39:35Speaker 04

  Nice firm hand, a good handshake is what I heard.

• 39:39Speaker 06

  It's firm, it's firm. It's a firm handshake. Okay, let me walk through the words that you said here. You went out, no description of the date, but afterward, you were still driving her. She didn't call for someone. She didn't lie to get out of it. You were still together. So it's closer to probably an average, below average date. Firm handshakes, that's not good. That's not good. Not a slap, but like, how much worse could it get? Or, you know, what would be like a, a three versus like a seven on this? That's, you know.

• 40:10Speaker 04

  Oh, three's pretty bad, isn't it? I mean, a three would be like a one out of 10, which I know it's just a different scale of numbers, but I feel like we have a much stronger frame of reference for.

• 40:20Speaker 06

  You still drove them home and you had the firm handshake. Didn't go well, didn't go poorly. That's a seven.

• 40:26Speaker 04

  That's close.

• 40:28Speaker 05

  It's close-ish. It's close-ish.

• 40:31Speaker 04

  Mark was going for a 10.

• 40:33Speaker 05

  I should have said a smile and a firm handshake.

• 40:36Speaker 06

  Honestly, just a little bit of affirmation, because like, yeah, but I mean, I figured it had to be below average. If you're ending in a handshake.

• 40:44Speaker 04

  That's not a negative interaction. It just means like, oh, we're not, we're not fit to date. Yeah, like, we're cool. We had fun, but like.

• 40:50Speaker 06

  I guess in my brain, I was thinking average, you're probably going on a second date.

• 40:54Speaker 05

  Yeah, you're probably going on a second date, but you might go on a second date here.

• 40:57Speaker 06

  If I ended with a handshake, I don't know, I don't know, either one of us be reaching back out.

• 41:01Speaker 05

  I'd say it's a coin flip, but whether you go on a second date, if you get a handshake, which would put it right in the middle.

• 41:05Speaker 04

  I mean, like if you get the handshake, but then you come back and you're like, look, I have a way cooler date. Let's, let's do this. Like if you come back with a, a nice thoughtful proposition of some sort, like, how about this? You could get a shot.

• 41:17Speaker 06

  That's fair. I was anywhere between my, honestly, I was between a seven, eight, nine, and I just, just, I don't know. I felt so awful for this imaginary person.

• 41:25Speaker 04

  Wade just doesn't think as much of handshakes as we do, Mark.

• 41:28Speaker 05

  Yeah, yeah. I said nice and firm. Nice and firm.

• 41:32Speaker 06

  If you're going inside, it's like this was a crazy first date. If you're getting a kiss, it's like, okay, that's, that's pretty darn good. To me, a hug is maybe you're getting a second date.

• 41:42Speaker 04

  That's still like above average, though. I would say if it ends with a hug, that's a good sign you're getting a second date. That's a good sign it went well. And it's just like, okay, well, maybe, maybe you just need more time to hang out. Maybe the date did not involve a lot of talking, right? And it's like, well, we should, we should hang out some.

• 41:57Speaker 06

  I don't think I've ever shaken a person's hand after a date.

• 42:02Speaker 05

  Well, maybe you're doing it wrong.

• 42:03Speaker 06

  Even the bad ones, I think, ended in like a hug, but I, it's been 15 years. I don't remember. So, oh yeah, that's the other thing I forgot to mention during the small talk. Mal and I have been dating for 14 years as of a day before this recording, so that's.

• 42:15Speaker 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.

• 42:45Speaker 06

  Crazy.

• 42:45Speaker 05

  And how many of those dates ended with a nice handshake?

• 42:49Speaker 06

  Well, most of the dating period was spent on Minecraft, so I don't think you could shake hands back then.

• 42:54Speaker 05

  I mean, servers, they, you need to handshake to connect to them. So I think, you know.

• 42:58Speaker 06

  Hop on Skype, turn the camera on. That was a fun time building that castle.

• 43:06Speaker 04

  So the handshake being offered at face level was very like.

• 43:11Speaker 06

  Hmm. I think the dating one's a hard one. It's hard for me to think of like individual numbers in there. It's like stormed out hit.

• 43:18Speaker 04

  That's more personal too, in a way, maybe that made that more difficult, right? Cause everyone kind of feels.

• 43:23Speaker 06

  I just don't differentiate the different numbers there. That's a tough thing to differentiate.

• 43:28Speaker 04

  Wait, I just set you your next one. All right. Mark, this scale is zero is a young person's name and 20 is an old person's name.

• 43:40Speaker 05

  Young to old. Yes.

• 43:42Speaker 04

  For the listeners out there, Wade's thinking so hard that you can see the steam coming off of his bald, bald head.

• 43:49Speaker 05

  I can. Wow. I can hear it.

• 43:51Speaker 04

  You could hear a little sizzle.

• 43:53Speaker 05

  Sam cooked bacon on his head.

• 43:54Speaker 04

  Sam, cook a full English on there. Have the beans coming out of his mouth like a waterfall.

• 44:00Speaker 06

  I don't have many examples of something I think of for this, so.

• 44:03Speaker 04

  Well, you know, people of all sorts of ages, think about their names, if you remember them.

• 44:07Speaker 06

  I have a lot of ideas that I'm like, wait, that's both a.

• 44:10Speaker 05

  That's both a?

• 44:12Speaker 06

  Both a niece, no? Yeah. It's names of like, oh, that's a, that's a young name and an old name. I need to hit somewhere either in the middle or toward one of those extremes, you know?

• 44:21Speaker 04

  You do need to hit somewhere between zero and 20, that's for sure. I should, I didn't realize I was gonna do a timer. I assumed we'd all have.

• 44:28Speaker 06

  God, I hate this one, Bob. I actually hate this one.

• 44:31Speaker 04

  I'm gonna have to ask you to pick a name.

• 44:33Speaker 06

  Can I name one for each gender?

• 44:35Speaker 04

  If it gets an answer right now?

• 44:36Speaker 05

  Yes.

• 44:37Speaker 06

  Liam and Maddie.

• 44:39Speaker 05

  Liam and Maddie. Weirdly enough, that doesn't help me much at all. Uh, Liam feels relatively new ish, younger ish, I think. Maddie, that, that is short for Madison, which even that isn't the oldest name. It's not like Margaret or, you know, uh, Mary Beth or something like that. So it's on the younger side, which would be lower, right?

• 45:03Speaker 06

  Younger is lower, older is higher.

• 45:05Speaker 05

  So in the grand scheme of naming, it's skewing young, but I feel like there might be younger names out there, but it's pretty, it's pretty down there. And I've done this multiple times where I think of a number and then I skew it one number away. We'll go five.

• 45:24Speaker 06

  Oh, my number was three.

• 45:27Speaker 05

  Okay. All right. Okay.

• 45:28Speaker 04

  That's gonna earn you a point. That's gonna earn you a point.

• 45:31Speaker 06

  I, so the, one of the first names I thought of, I was like, oh, I'll just say James, cause James is like actually basically like three right now. What a hit. And I was like, but James is kind of a name that could fit anywhere in the spectrum. And then I thought of Liam, but I was like, ah, what if he thinks Liam Neeson? Liam Neeson's like 900 years old.

• 45:46Speaker 04

  That's what I thought. I did not think Liam sounded that young. When you said Liam first, I was like, oh no.

• 45:52Speaker 06

  Yeah. I think it's a more common younger name. And then Maddie, I know some like Maddisons and Maddies that are young, but then I was like, but the name Madeline could be short for Maddie. Like Maddie could be short for Madeline and Madeline doesn't sound like a younger name at this point, right? Like that's a more of a middle of the road or higher name. So any of the names I thought of individually, I was like, oh, that could be skewed. I was like, if I say two names that both kind of skew young, maybe I, yeah, I got you.

• 46:14Speaker 04

  I got you, man. Well, you got Mark a point, so.

• 46:17Speaker 06

  I was like, there's not that many Wade's. Wade's becoming more popular. And if I say Wade, they're gonna say, oh man, that's old. Cause, cause me.

• 46:23Speaker 04

  Yeah, we would.

• 46:25Speaker 06

  So I, I mean, I was going through it. That, that was a really hard one for me to think of names.

• 46:28Speaker 05

  I also don't have no idea what like the latest trends on names was, so.

• 46:32Speaker 06

  I have no clue, but you hit close to my number and I'm happy about that.

• 46:35Speaker 05

  That's all we need.

• 46:36Speaker 04

  This is gonna be the last one. Cause Wade did go first. Uh, zero on this one is would not survive the apocalypse. 20 is definitely would survive the apocalypse.

• 46:48Speaker 05

  Does this have to be real people or?

• 46:52Speaker 04

  It could be anything you want. I'm, I'm trying to put almost no limits on the, the clue.

• 46:58Speaker 05

  I almost just said the, the number out, out loud again. I.

• 47:01Speaker 06

  That would help me immensely.

• 47:02Speaker 04

  You wanna hit Wade, just watch my mouth. It might slip out.

• 47:06Speaker 05

  Joel from the last of us.

• 47:09Speaker 06

  Okay. He's great until he doesn't, spoilers, um, survive. Um, okay. I want to rehash what you said. You said Joel from the last of us.

• 47:20Speaker 05

  Oh, please don't do this. Please don't do this.

• 47:23Speaker 06

  You didn't say part two, right?

• 47:26Speaker 04

  What are you getting at right now?

• 47:28Speaker 05

  He's trying to separate one from two and don't do this.

• 47:31Speaker 04

  It's the same. I can tell you Wade, it's the same guy.

• 47:34Speaker 06

  Okay. Well, hold on. The apocalypse happens. Joel survives. He survives a while. He's a very good survivor, but then ultimately he's not. My initial thought is somewhere right around a 15. Would I say Joel's higher than a 15? I don't know how niche your explanation is getting versus just picking a person that you thought.

• 47:51Speaker 04

  He said like seven words. He did not, there is not a lot of niche to it. I'm not trying to skew the results, but I do, I do just wanna help Mark out. He did keep it pretty simple. I don't think there's a lot of secret messaging built into that one, unless there is, which case I'm ruining everything.

• 48:07Speaker 06

  I'm gonna go one up and say a 16.

• 48:09Speaker 04

  That's a really good guess. Mark was trying to get you to guess 17.

• 48:14Speaker 06

  Okay. Cause I was like, man, he's above, he's above a 15. He's gotta be, but like.

• 48:18Speaker 05

  He's gotta be right. Yeah. I would be like, he would be a 20 if he didn't, you know?

• 48:24Speaker 06

  So I was like, man, this could be as high as an 18, but like a 75th percentile, maybe. I don't know. So.

• 48:30Speaker 04

  It could even be a 17.

• 48:32Speaker 06

  I went 16. I went once closer than what I was my original.

• 48:34Speaker 04

  No, you still, that was pretty much optimal for you, Wade. You didn't give out any free points for getting it exactly right, but you nailed it. Well, you guys did so much better at that than I, I was worried it was gonna be like, no one ever gets it ever. I wasn't sure how hard it would be. That worked out great.

• 48:48Speaker 05

  Nah, he and I were locked in. We were locked in.

• 48:50Speaker 04

  You guys were like cheating or some shit. That was crazy.

• 48:53Speaker 05

  That's what we were doing. It took a while for us to text each other, the other numbers.

• 48:56Speaker 06

  Thank God you had us using our phones.

• 48:59Speaker 05

  Mark, say 16 right now.

• 49:03Speaker 04

  I think the one where Wade took forever to think he was like, like his phone froze or something. It was like, I gotta text Mark Stone. Uh, no particular order. Mark, you earned points for avoiding prison, uh, passing out and or puking, except you didn't. I was gonna take that away if you did end up puking, but you didn't. Happy tears for my footholds, I think. You earned a lymph point. You got points in the game for correctly guessing how pessimistic it was about the toilet paper ethics, popularity of emojis and the youngness of the names Wade gave you. Wade, you earned points for sports, gummy bears?

• 49:43Speaker 05

  Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.

• 49:45Speaker 04

  Quote Johnny Bravo. Um, how much do you even lymph, bro? You guessed, you guessed correctly on the freshness of the memes, uh, the excitingness of the museum. You had a point for cloth off the bone and both a, and you also guessed correctly on Joel from the last of us, leaving Mark with eight points plus two lie points, which as of yet don't mean anything, but could swing the whole thing potentially. And Wade with nine points. So Wade is winning.

• 50:15Speaker 06

  No, this, no, this is not, there cannot be another Wade has the most points, but loses. I can't go through it again.

• 50:20Speaker 04

  How would even that could happen?

• 50:22Speaker 05

  The real number for winning was actually eight, so you were close.

• 50:27Speaker 06

  I know, man.

• 50:29Speaker 04

  How many spins will there be?

• 50:32Speaker 06

  Uh, he, he, not just one. Okay.

• 50:35Speaker 04

  It's one. Okay. That's good for somebody. Uh, bonus points. Well, I'm still, do I add cloth off the bone or do I add absolute value? Cause I really like both of those.

• 50:48Speaker 06

  One of them will just be removed one day when we're like, what, what even?

• 50:52Speaker 05

  I think you can do both. I'm not gonna stop you. You're, you're the judge. So.

• 50:55Speaker 04

  Who's cloth was more off the bone this episode?

• 51:01Speaker 06

  That's gonna get removed immediately.

• 51:03Speaker 04

  It's gonna come up in like, like nine months. That's gonna come back up for the first time and we're gonna be like, I can delete that.

• 51:09Speaker 06

  Is this how all of our other stuff that makes no sense got on? You were just like, oh, this will be funny for us next year.

• 51:15Speaker 05

  I mean, honestly, I would love to say that, but it's not true. Usually we're like, yeah, this means something to us. This is real. It's real. And then it's not real.

• 51:25Speaker 04

  This is real, man. All right. One spin. Oh, please don't do that to me. Oh, please, great wheel. Competitor who was born first.

• 51:37Speaker 05

  Damn. Unless, if I call the thing on that, could it potentially make him?

• 51:43Speaker 06

  Oh God, what the fuck?

• 51:44Speaker 04

  You make you older than him somehow?

• 51:46Speaker 05

  There's one way to find out.

• 51:48Speaker 06

  All right. I'm gonna call it unfair just because. So if it's heads, then it's unfair. If it's tails, I'm doubly the oldest.

• 51:56Speaker 04

  Unfair on Wade being born first. If it's all heads, Mark wins and it needs to be made fair.

• 52:04Speaker 05

  So I will be older than you.

• 52:06Speaker 04

  And if it's all tails, Mark loses. And I would say double, doubly fair would be Wade was born before everyone.

• 52:14Speaker 05

  Oh yeah. Oh boy. He's, he's, I'm gonna get old. I got heads. Oh shit.

• 52:21Speaker 04

  Oh, thank God. Cause I got heads.

• 52:23Speaker 06

  I can re-flip if you guys wanna gamble.

• 52:25Speaker 04

  All right. So Wade was born first and that's, that remains the truth, which means that today's episode winner with 10 points is Wade. I didn't mean to sound so disappointing when it, it's Wade, everybody.

• 52:37Speaker 06

  Yay. It's Wade. The comeback starts now. I have at least two more points than everyone else now, based on what I think I was told earlier this episode. I've at least got a bronze medal in wins.

• 52:50Speaker 04

  That's definitely true.

• 52:51Speaker 06

  This is definitely, hey, break this meme. This is the meme where I'm on the podium, biting the metal, kissing the lady and shooting off the champagne. Then I'm in third place. Yeah.

• 53:00Speaker 04

  That would have still been in kind of the right zone for me. I think that's a good, that's a good like above average meme.

• 53:06Speaker 06

  Woo hoo. I did it.

• 53:08Speaker 04

  All right. Mark, loser speech?

• 53:10Speaker 05

  Oh, well, you know, I tried my best. I still don't understand what I could have done differently to get more points because I was unsure if me doing well meant I got points or if me doing poorly meant I lost points. Didn't seem that way, but it didn't matter. Cause I had fun and that's the end of the story for me. My story ends now. Sam, end my story.

• 53:32Speaker 06

  He should have kept his cloth more off the bone.

• 53:34Speaker 04

  There's anything we can take from this episode. It's definitely that.

• 53:37Speaker 06

  Someone's gonna say that shit to me on Twitter or in person. I'd be like, dude, cloth off the bone. Like what the fuck are you talking about? I'm gonna have no recollection of this and about.

• 53:45Speaker 05

  Get away from me freak. Get your cloth away from my bone.

• 53:48Speaker 06

  What's your name? Like Liam or Maddie? Go away.

• 53:50Speaker 05

  Wow. What a, what a young, stupid name.

• 53:53Speaker 04
