• 1:54Speaker 03

  Hello and welcome back for another episode of Distractible. I don't care who likes the show, that's not-

• 2:00Speaker 04

  Oh, sorry, sorry, my phone's ringing. You know how it is these days. Oh, hey, Mr. Spielberg. How's it going? Yeah. Oh, 100 million. I'll guess I'll take it. Yep, that sounds pretty good. Yeah.

• 2:16Speaker 05

  Is that how you negotiate? You just take the first number you're told?

• 2:19Speaker 03

  What is, what is Spielberg paying you a million dollar, 100 million dollars for?

• 2:23Speaker 04

  Put Chris on the phone. Yeah.

• 2:25Speaker 03

  Chris Columbus?

• 2:27Speaker 04

  Chris Noli on the phone.

• 2:29Speaker 05

  Oh.

• 2:30Speaker 04

  Hey, I'd really appreciate you guys not listening on my private phone calls. There's a lot of important things. Oh, 200 million?

• 2:35Speaker 03

  I feel like Nolan is as short as Noli is. I feel like those are not, that's not a nickname. That's the same length.

• 2:40Speaker 04

  I don't know how you're hearing any of this. This is a private call. Yep, yep, yep, yep. I love you too.

• 2:48Speaker 05

  Only 50 million? What a Shyamalan twist that was.

• 2:51Speaker 04

  I'll take a billion. All right, okay, thank you. Sorry. Sorry.

• 2:56Speaker 03

  What a power move. Did you just kiss the hang up button on your cellphone?

• 3:00Speaker 04

  Yeah, I don't expect you to understand my ways. Uh, the artistic genius going on in here has to be channeled out. Every once in a while, I just have to let it out like a pressure valve.

• 3:09Speaker 05

  You have a hangover? Like, what's with the sunglasses?

• 3:11Speaker 04

  No, no, no, no, no. Listen, all I see in my eyes are stars. All of the, all the lights are blinding me all the time because I just have a vision that you cannot perceive. Bob definitely can't perceive, but I have a vision.

• 3:26Speaker 03

  I can perceive, I can see. It doesn't have to be in my mind. I could perceive it if, if it was a real thing.

• 3:32Speaker 05

  Mark knows more than we do. Maybe you can't see.

• 3:34Speaker 03

  Do you have a vision board? Can I look at that?

• 3:37Speaker 04

  Listen, the, the visions that I see in my waking days haunt me for even my sleeping dreams. So the nightmares that I experience on a waking basis are horrors beyond my comprehension. So I'm better than you.

• 3:52Speaker 03

  Do you have a hat that says writer on it? Cause that was some writer shit right there.

• 3:56Speaker 04

  Thank you, thank you, thank you. It actually, uh, it, it, I will get one.

• 4:01Speaker 05

  Was that GPT or scripted or how'd you come up with it?

• 4:05Speaker 04

  These are just computers. Oh, man, when that happens, oh, man. I can't wait to adapt all that into my movies. Am I, am I telling you? I think, I think that AI is offering a bit of a, you know, kinda, can I take this off now?

• 4:22Speaker 03

  I guess, I mean, it's your bed. I don't know.

• 4:24Speaker 05

  Who are we? We're just simply the plebs here to witness your.

• 4:28Speaker 03

  So what what I'm hearing is step one, iron lung. Step two, fully AI-generated movie.

• 4:36Speaker 05

  Sure, whatever he said. Yeah.

• 4:38Speaker 04

  Wow, that's a point. That's an agreement point right there.

• 4:41Speaker 05

  Wait, I also agree.

• 4:43Speaker 03

  You get one agreement point, Wade. It's a lie point because I'm lying, but you get it.

• 4:47Speaker 05

  I'll take it. Lies can be absolute.

• 4:49Speaker 04

  Yeah, lies can be valid, too. There's multiple lie landings on the wheel. We do not take advantage of our, we do not take advantage of the bits that we set up.

• 4:57Speaker 03

  All these rules we have. I'm trying to remember them. Anyway, if you've ever seen this show before, this is pretty much how it happens. Mark and Wade are here and it's, there's no, there's no rules. There's nothing to explain. I always do an explanation like something is gonna happen. It's whatever. I'm the host. So anyone have anything going on?

• 5:15Speaker 05

  Oh, me, me, me, me, me.

• 5:16Speaker 04

  Him.

• 5:17Speaker 05

  I feel like I went somewhere this weekend. Oh, Disney has that new, that new kind of like horror movie out. That was pretty good. Don't Talk To Me or Stay Away or whatever it was called. It was good.

• 5:32Speaker 05

  I'll just let Mark have the small talk, man. I don't have anything.

• 5:35Speaker 04

  You know, actually, if they made a sequel to Talk To Me, the, the other guys that made that one, and it was Don't Talk To Me, it's fair. That's, I would, I would be interested, you know? Because, oh, no, I would spoil the movie if I talked about that. Never mind. Not gonna talk about that.

• 5:53Speaker 03

  I am finally out of the final stretch.

• 5:57Speaker 05

  I thought that was part of like your bit with.

• 6:00Speaker 04

  I had a hair in my mouth.

• 6:03Speaker 05

  What a weird, man, directors are so creative in their way they talk.

• 6:09Speaker 04

  It's like, you remember that time in the movie where they.

• 6:13Speaker 04

  My favorite part. I I'm out of the file stretch, Iron Lung is out and it's it was. Oh, it was number one for so long.

• 6:22Speaker 05

  Like 99% of the weekend.

• 6:24Speaker 04

  The race was much closer than people know, much, much closer. They only got first number one movie at like 8pm Pacific Standard Time, like last minute. So we had number one from Thursday all the way up to Sunday at 8pm. And by the merest technicality, they won the weekend. Uh huh.

• 6:48Speaker 05

  And somehow it's Sunday at like noon Eastern, articles were coming out, talking about how they were the number one movie. And Iron Lung disappeared from the charts completely for a while. There was some weird shit going on.

• 7:00Speaker 03

  Mark was so ashamed that a huge multimillion dollar advertisement movie overtook his privately distributed film that he deleted it from existence. That's the only explanation I could understand.

• 7:14Speaker 04

  Other than that, extremely fun. I had such a blast. I was my phone screen time is ruined forever because of this weekend. It was enormous and amazing and I loved it, but I don't want to talk about that. You know what I do want to talk about?

• 7:30Speaker 03

  Lenses?

• 7:31Speaker 04

  Dungeon Crawler Carl.

• 7:33Speaker 03

  Oh, wait.

• 7:34Speaker 04

  It's so good.

• 7:36Speaker 03

  It's so good.

• 7:37Speaker 05

  I haven't yet. I've I bought the first book.

• 7:39Speaker 03

  You haven't read it yet?

• 7:40Speaker 05

  I I've got I'm going to finish Runaway Jury first, but then I'm switching over to it.

• 7:43Speaker 04

  I started it last night, finished it before the podcast. It was that good. It's I loved it. I can't wait to read the next one. And as soon as I I was like, when I was looking at, I was like, why are there seven books? And after I read the first time, I'm like, oh, I get it. Why there's seven? This makes perfect sense, but I'm like, oh, yeah.

• 7:59Speaker 03

  We're gonna be able to talk about all this now.

• 8:01Speaker 04

  I know, I know.

• 8:03Speaker 05

  Okay, I'm gonna start reading it. We'll have a book club. I I don't wanna I don't wanna talk about stuff with Dungeon Crawler Carl, but I have one more thing to add about Iron Lung before we move on from Iron Lung. I want to read you a review from my family who uh who watched the movie with us.

• 8:15Speaker 04

  All right, can't wait.

• 8:16Speaker 05

  It was very memorable and the movie was great. I just wish Mark, like, I don't know, was happier.

• 8:31Speaker 03

  You know what? I never thought about that before is kind of a mopey bitch.

• 8:35Speaker 05

  There's a bit more, but I don't want to spoil the movie, so I didn't want to read the rest of it.

• 8:39Speaker 04

  Yeah, bleep that name. Bleep that. Leave all this.

• 8:41Speaker 05

  Well, I don't think what I saw was a spoiler. The setup's kind of like, you know.

• 8:44Speaker 04

  That's very funny. That's not a spoiler. I think that's fine for what Wade said. Yeah, but.

• 8:49Speaker 05

  Yeah, I won't read the rest of the review because it is spoilery, but that made me laugh really hard. I was just like, that was great. I just wish Mark was happier.

• 8:55Speaker 04

  You just gotta smile more, you know?

• 8:57Speaker 03

  Come on, sweetheart. You're pretty when you smile.

• 9:02Speaker 03

  Wade, you gotta read this book and then you gotta read all the rest of them. Holy shit.

• 9:06Speaker 04

  Have you read all of them, Bob?

• 9:07Speaker 03

  I am currently just at the beginning of, uh, book seven, The Inevitable Ruin, and I'm ready for the next one comes out, uh, May, March 25th, May 25th. It comes out this year. The next one comes out in mere months.

• 9:19Speaker 04

  I should make it perfect timing to get that next book release.

• 9:22Speaker 03

  You're gonna be done with all of them by like Thursday. Like, I want to talk about the last book. And I'm like, I'm halfway through it. Come on, man.

• 9:28Speaker 04

  It's so good to have free time again. Like, I've been going out to dinners. I've been having like, oh, I don't need to spend 12 hours today working on this. Oh, that's so great. I mean, there's a little bit of post-release stuff that I gotta do still, but it's just like, oh, it's perfectly manageable. Oh, my God. And the pressure, the pressure that's, that's way off my shoulders. Oh, it's so good.

• 9:48Speaker 03

  But Dungeon Crawler, Carl. It's so good.

• 9:51Speaker 04

  When I read the first few pages, and I don't think this is a spoiler because I'm not going to talk in specifics, when the concept started coming out, like what it was gonna be, I was like, oh, this is gonna be super hokey. Like, this feels very like, okay, uh huh. And then by the, by like, the first quarter of the book, I was like, oh, just I gotta keep reading this.

• 10:10Speaker 03

  No, someone described like the, the overall concept to me before I read it. And they're like this, and then at the, at the start of the book, this happens and then they, and then it's like a dungeon crawler thing. And I was like, that sounds awful. That sounds like the cheesiest shit I would, I'll try it.

• 10:29Speaker 05

  Not gonna lie, that's why I started Runaway Jury before I started reading it. It's like, I'll give it a shot, but like, yeah, it sounds like a weird concept.

• 10:35Speaker 03

  I'm not doing it anymore, but I did read the first book almost the same way that. You did, Mark. I think I read, I finished the first book within forty eight hours of starting it. You're not the person I need to tell us to because you, you appreciate it. A couple of the books, I would say three and four especially, stay invested. Because the, the, when you come back around to the beginning of the next book, it slows down a lot. And it's kind of like, oh, no, it stays good. Just keep, don't worry about it. Stay invested. There's just a briefest moments where it's like, it's a little slow, but.

• 11:09Speaker 04

  I've got an example of how I can plow through a book series. There was this Warhammer series that was called The War of the Beast, and it's like nine books, and these are thick books. And it started off pretty good, and then it's eight books of bad. And I was like, it'll get better on the next one. I bet, I bet, I bet. Next one. Okay, it'll get better by the, I read every one of them, and by the end of it, I was just like, that was the biggest fucking waste of time I've ever had in my life.

• 11:39Speaker 05

  I was really hoping for your sake it got better.

• 11:41Speaker 04

  No, no, but these books actually aren't that long, uh, compared to those at least. So it's like, it's like, I feel like it would be digestible, even if it was a little slow. So.

• 11:50Speaker 03

  That's so exciting.

• 11:52Speaker 05

  I'll dive in. Maybe I'll try to start it this week.

• 11:54Speaker 03

  I will say, I don't, it's very time consuming. I don't know if you have time for it, and you're just starting, so I don't know if you're even up for it. The audiobooks in their own right are so worth listening to. I'm currently re-listening to the first book on audiobook while I'm reading the seventh book. Because the performance, the way they do the audiobook, the voices, and the, it's one dude, except for a couple rare occasions. It's one guy performing it. It's very good. He's fantastic. It's awesome. It's totally worth it for its own production value and its own version of all the parts of the book and stuff, but, but you're just getting into it. So that's not really a pressing issue. How long have you owned that book that you haven't read, Wade?

• 12:37Speaker 05

  Week, week and a half. I just bought it.

• 12:39Speaker 03

  Okay, cuz I remember you telling me about that, but I have a memory of it being way longer ago.

• 12:43Speaker 05

  I mean, I guess maybe at this point it was closer to two weeks, but it's not been that long. We went out for Molly's birthday and went to like a couple of bookstores and I saw they didn't have, they had like the first one and like the fifth one. So I just grabbed the first one. And I figured if I liked it, I'd buy the other ones either online or find another bookstore. So we went to like a, not like a chain bookstore. It was like a local bookstore. So they didn't have a ton of books, but they did have that one on display. I was like, yeah, I'll grab that.

• 13:05Speaker 03

  Also have no rumblings of if it's happening yet, but apparently Seth MacFarlane's production company owns the rights to do a TV series of Dungeon Crawler Carl. I have low hopes that it will actually be good if that ever comes to fruition, but if it is good.

• 13:21Speaker 06

  Hey Peter, the Carl's here.

• 13:23Speaker 04

  I feel like it could be a little too hokey if they do it, you know, the wrong way with a TV production. It's, but I could see it. I could see it if they could really lean into it hard, you know?

• 13:36Speaker 05

  I can't wait to see the same vision. I will start it. I did not have my bingo card. Mark having time to read a book before me.

• 13:43Speaker 04

  I got free time.

• 13:45Speaker 05

  I can't remember the last time Mark had free time.

• 13:47Speaker 04

  I know. I think I had a full head of hair.

• 13:53Speaker 03

  Alright, so this episode is gonna be out the next project that Mark is getting into. That's gonna be the next seven years of his life.

• 13:59Speaker 04

  Oh God.

• 14:00Speaker 05

  He's going to buy the rights to Dungeon Crawler Carl from Seth MacFarlane.

• 14:04Speaker 04

  Seth, baby.

• 14:06Speaker 03

  Sethy Mac.

• 14:07Speaker 04

  God, I remember, wait, I think I got a phone call from some of this weekend. Someone called me some like name like that. I can't remember if it was a slugger or champ or hero. Or like, there's the man of the, or some shit like, is this Carl divider? Carl divider. We love your stuff. Love your channel. I get it. I get that joke. I get that joke.

• 14:27Speaker 03

  Well, anyway, that's very exciting for me personally. I would point, I used, the book was sitting like right here previously, but I lent it to someone so that they have to read it and they can get into it too. Cause that's how I feel about it.

• 14:39Speaker 04

  I should buy the paper version. I should.

• 14:42Speaker 03

  Yeah. What, how'd you read it? Did you ebook?

• 14:44Speaker 04

  Yeah, I've always read books on my phone. I've done that for years now, so I'm used to it.

• 14:47Speaker 03

  That's, I've, I've read all of them on my, I have a Kindle and I read them on that, but I, I wanna buy hard, hardcover copies of all the books cuz they're dope.

• 14:57Speaker 05

  I got a neck light that like wraps around your neck and has like two little lights on it and so I can read in the dark.

• 15:02Speaker 03

  Okay, grandpa.

• 15:05Speaker 05

  No, no, no, it's cool. It's cool. I like that. That's great.

• 15:07Speaker 03

  Grandpas could be cool. I wasn't implying it wasn't cool. It's just.

• 15:10Speaker 05

  I might listen. I look to the part. I thought I'd start acting the part. I sit in my recliner and I fall asleep, wake up and yell at the kids in my yard. Then I read a book a little bit, you know, go and eat my mashed potatoes and IV. You know, grandpa.

• 15:26Speaker 03

  Uh huh. Sure.

• 15:27Speaker 04

  Well, I'm looking at the release cadence of these books that he made of Dungeon Crawler Carl. Is he like a super fast writer or this is weird on Amazon how it's listed like book two? Book one was like October 2nd of 2020, then book two was January 6th of 21. Then book three was April, then book four was July. Is this, is that how fast he's writing?

• 15:51Speaker 03

  I don't actually know, but I do think that that's generally correct. So I'm, I'm not like a lower expert on this, but Matt Dittman, the writer of these books, originally published book one of Dungeon Crawler Carl as like a fan fiction is not the right word, but like he self published it online. It was not like a release or anything. And it got such a cult following that it grew and he got support and it the subsequent, it was a then it was released as like a real title by like a publishing company or something like the whole story of how Dungeon Crawler Carl has gotten to where it is today is very like grassroots success because he did it himself that led to getting the books. And so I think he kind of does crank them out, but I don't actually know if that's completely accurate

• 16:36Speaker 03

  or if that's reflecting the weird timeline because he got like picked up by publisher or something.

• 16:41Speaker 05

  He's trying to keep pace with George R R Martin.

• 16:43Speaker 03

  He's not messing around, man. Also, he might just like be writing this as one long thing. And so, you know, maybe he started writing it and by the time book one came out, he was already substantially done with the next, you know.

• 16:56Speaker 04

  If he had a full idea of where it was gonna go, yeah, it could be. And some people do crank and I'd say like his writing, the books are slightly shorter, you know, his writing is good. I think it's, I, I, I'm not disparaging in any way his, his writing. It paints a very clear picture, but there's, I didn't come across any lines of like descriptive. Language that was just like, oh, you know, I've read in some books before where I see just like the greatest sentence I've ever read in my life. And I'm just like, holy shit. And I haven't seen that in this book, but it's an, it's an extremely clear picture. So he's writing in a way that could explain like the fast cadence. And he's not stopping and saying he needs to make all this flowery language. I'm not saying that makes a better book. It's a great book otherwise, because it paints the clearest picture in the whole setting is what's great.

• 17:40Speaker 05

  I think simple reads are better books. Flowery language books, sometimes I'm just too tired. It's like, dude, I don't feel like trying to figure out what this eight syllable word means. Like, come on, we don't need it. Just say like, the book.

• 17:52Speaker 04

  And I'm totally like, that's not the perfect way to write a book. I'm just trying to explain that, like, it makes sense that he's cranking these out faster because you're writing efficiently and descriptively. And that's, that's a good way to do it, especially for a book like this. I don't need an analogy every paragraph.

• 18:06Speaker 05

  I would say like Project Hail Mary kind of walked the line because it was a very simply written, but it covered a bunch of concepts and a bunch of it was like, you know, fake sciency shit. But like, it still was like, okay, I'm trying to keep track of all these terms and sciency stuff and math stuff. But like, it did a good job of carrying me. Like, I stayed hooked. I love that book. That was a great book.

• 18:23Speaker 03

  I think you should keep Dungeon Crawler Carl high on your list. But I will say, if you like Project Hail Mary, and if you haven't read The Martian, The Martian is very worth reading, you should read Artemis by Andy Weir. It's a sci-fi, it's a moon base setting. The main character is awesome, the whole thing. It's very like heisty. It's got like a heist shenanigans aspect to it.

• 18:47Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 18:47Speaker 03

  Awesome. Also totally worth reading. Love that book. I actually haven't read Project Hail Mary yet, but I know that I like Andy Weir.

• 18:55Speaker 05

  Is it weird that I feel like at this stage of our lives, like we're talking about books and stuff now, but I feel like book reading was like the D and D of the last 20 years where it's like, you read books, you nerd. And now it's like, I love books. I want to talk about books some more. I want to read more books. I feel, I'm okay saying that. I like books. I, I, babe, books are great. I love books. I hadn't read in so long. And then last year I read the entire Animorph series in like a month. And then picked up some of the John Grisham books and stuff. And then Molly got me the, to read her Project Hail Mary. And it's like, okay. And now, now I've got the Dungeon Crawler Carl series to start up. That's a hard thing to say quickly.

• 19:28Speaker 04

  You're gonna love it. I guarantee it.

• 19:31Speaker 05

  I finally bought it, so I'm excited to read it.

• 19:33Speaker 03

  I, for me, reading was just ruined my law school. I've thousands and thousands of pages of cases will do that to you, but it's fun to read for fun and things that aren't.

• 19:44Speaker 05

  The Scarlet Letter did its best to destroy my love of anything.

• 19:47Speaker 03

  Especially letters.

• 19:49Speaker 05

  You can't have a book without letters unless it's a picture book.

• 19:51Speaker 03

  Fucking red letters, not for me.

• 19:54Speaker 05

  I used to read Playboy for the articles, then I read Scarlet Letter and it's like, well, now I gotta get it for the pictures.

• 19:58Speaker 04

  I was on Reddit, sorry, it's completely unrelated, and I came across like, you know, a caption of a tweet. It's got like a hundred K likes as my face. So I'm like, oh, okay. Then I read it. It's like, YouTube remarkable. I broke down in tears after a self-financed horror movie, Iron Lung, opened to $23 at the worldwide box office. Quote, fuck dude, this movie got so much money. I'm so fucked.

• 20:21Speaker 05

  Yes.

• 21:39Speaker 03

  Hear me out. We're getting older. Some things in life are too good to let go. So I have titled this segment, "How Do You Pan, Man?"

• 21:52Speaker 04

  How do we pan?

• 21:53Speaker 03

  Beloved children's character Peter Pan never ages, stays a child forever. It's full of whimsy and fun. Look at me, I don't. I just want to talk about what, what like childish things do you hold on to? Do you think you're gonna do for the rest of your life? And I have some examples to start out with this, but I just want to talk about it. Sort of like a nostalgia bait episode, whatever, but like for me, like Lunchables, Kraft Mac and Cheese, I understand that they are not high quality food products.

• 22:24Speaker 04

  I'm with you, Bob.

• 22:26Speaker 03

  Makes me like them 0% less. They are forever delicious and some of my favorites. I will never not try and make a basket into a trash can, no matter how inappropriate the scenario may be and how much of an adult I may be. My arms and legs do not hang over the edge of the bed so that the sleep demons can't get me.

• 22:46Speaker 04

  Yeah, that's true. Yeah.

• 22:48Speaker 03

  Other thing is remote control stuff. I know it's going to be disappointing. I know it's not gonna fly very well. I know it's a piece of shit, but a $20 remote control helicopter at a kiosk at the mall is never not going to be a thing I immediately want. I see that and I'm like, oh, man, I could totally afford that now that I've grown and I have a credit card. How could I not buy this helicopter that will definitely fill all my dreams and be perfect and amazing? But yeah, do you guys have anything?

• 23:15Speaker 04

  Who's going first?

• 23:16Speaker 03

  The lion is Mark and the lady is Wade because he's bald.

• 23:23Speaker 03

  Bald lady. Wade, you're going first.

• 23:25Speaker 05

  And there's a few different ways I could go with this. I'm going to start with playing pretend. I don't just go around like playing pretend around the house like we did as kids, but like D and D, you know, playing a character and stuff like that. I really enjoy going around doing voices. I still talk to myself and try to do different voices. Like I'll hear a voice. I'm like, can I do that one? So like, I'll be sitting on the toilet, just like.

• 23:47Speaker 03

  Toilet paper, toilet paper. It's the same three voices every time.

• 23:55Speaker 05

  Well, no, no, different things. I'll have conversations. I did Whitney Houston's Dolly Parton's I Will Always Love You as different characters. Literally just switching like they'll pass between because you can't hold a notice Sméagol. I did that once and I couldn't talk for like three days.

• 24:10Speaker 04

  Sure, sure.

• 24:11Speaker 05

  I had like Mickey Kermit, Christopher Walken and Elmo or probably someone else doing that song, like passing it off to one another. That kind of like role playing stuff, like especially like a D and D campaign or something. I find it fun to do voices and characters and things. And it was something I liked doing as a kid. I still really enjoy doing now. It's just, it's fun to tap into that and like trying to be someone else and giving them their own, even if it's not like an original character. It doesn't have to be something like that, but like my fucking stupid little cigar prop I keep here, put in my mouth, my character from D and D damn shun. Here in a big Gatling gun, just damn shun, we gonna go around today and kill some fucking stormtroopers. It's, it's fun. I don't know. It's fun to do.

• 24:48Speaker 04

  Yeah, I think, I think that people in general just still want to play pretend. Um, because we all have imaginations, but now we're all adults and we can't because it's, it's not what adults should do. Look at us now. What, what's a movie besides just a big old thing of pretend? You know, people love pretend.

• 25:05Speaker 05

  And we've all made so many movies together. Hey, we made some things together.

• 25:09Speaker 04

  Calling it making them together is maybe generous to Wade and I, but we were there.

• 25:13Speaker 03

  Couldn't make it without you.

• 25:16Speaker 05

  Getting to be wog will be one of the highlights of my life. That, that'll be one of the things I look most fondly upon. I really enjoyed that.

• 25:21Speaker 04

  Just wait till In Space Two comes out.

• 25:24Speaker 05

  Mark, delete that editors, delete it. Don't spoil that. You're giving it away. My idea. I bought the rights to that.

• 25:29Speaker 04

  Oh God, did you?

• 25:31Speaker 05

  That's right, Mark. I own you now. See?

• 25:33Speaker 04

  He just made a huge pile of money and lit it on fire. It was like, I own that now. I buy that from the universe.

• 25:42Speaker 05

  That was a good, I couldn't see anything in that costume, but I absolutely loved doing it anyway.

• 25:46Speaker 04

  Next time we'll give you some more technology in there. So you have a camera.

• 25:49Speaker 03

  Helped with the performance, Mark.

• 25:52Speaker 04

  So my, my childhood thing actually that I do still to this day is something that I, I, I cultivated again because I was building the render farm. And I know that sounds weird, but my dad always had computers every, ever since I was a kid. And so for a very long time, I was the type that was like, he, he got computer magazines. He got like the Micro Center Mall, like advertisement thing. And so I would, after he was done with that, I would go through and look like, oh yes, I'll take a thousand dollar hard drive. Hmm, 30, you know, this five year old me is like, oh yeah.

• 26:25Speaker 03

  A 30 megabyte hard drive.

• 26:28Speaker 04

  Whoa. Oh, a 10 pack of floppies for only 29.99? Well, I'll take two, you know? So now that I'm, I'm, I'm back in building render farm and I'm done with the movie now. So I, I now I'm just like, what computer can I upgrade? What needs an upgrade? Like I caught a whiff that there were new Intel processor's coming out and it's like, oh yeah, all right, I probably need that. I probably, I probably could do with an upgrade to my main computer. I could build another one. Why not just build another one? So it's just like, I, I'm just desperate, desperately looking around for anything that I can build and, and anything that I can tinker. Cause it's just like, it's just tinkering with Legos, but with expensive computer equipment.

• 27:07Speaker 03

  You are a great candidate for a hobby I've been trying to teach myself about, and I'm too stupid apparently to do very well. Have you looked into home lab stuff?

• 27:16Speaker 04

  I was on the home lab subreddit. They were making fun of my render farm.

• 27:21Speaker 03

  Oh, they were burning your render farm?

• 27:25Speaker 04

  Well, some of them were just like, no, wait, actually this is what this subreddit is all about. Really shitty setups. This guy's, you can't make fun of him. And meanwhile, he's saying that I'm like, oh, ah, you, I, look, I'm still getting hit here, man.

• 27:41Speaker 03

  Seriously though, the people on the, on the home lab subreddit who are like scoffing at people who scramble things together and have janky at, what is a home lab? If it's not supposed to be some janky shit where you're like, I have these weird random components. Let me see what I can make with them. It's great. And the people who are chill about it are cool. And the people who are on Reddit about it are not.

• 27:59Speaker 04

  That janky shit held the number one movie for 71 and a half out of 72 hours. That's true, baby, that's true. What I will say is about that, some people were looking at all the Mac Studios and was like, oh, clearly that's not a deal. Tell you something about Mac, even if you don't like it, that shit holds its resale value like crazy. And you better believe I'mma sell those things now that I'm done with the movie. So I only got them for this, for this thing, so.

• 28:26Speaker 03

  I cannot fucking believe how expensive, like an M1 Mac Mini still is. Like you'd think like, oh, that's really old, but it's that Apple silicon chip. And but it's like, oh, that's like a five year old compact computer. They're like 300, 400, 500 bucks depending on the specs. What it's like, what the fuck? You might as well just buy new stuff, god damn.

• 28:48Speaker 04

  That's the crazy thing is because I bought this, I mean, it was still the AI craze, but then people discovered that, hey, these Macs are actually really good for AI bullshit. And I'm not using it for that. I'm using it for efficient rendering. But the resale value, I might make money on these.

• 29:04Speaker 03

  You're gonna make money on some Mac Studios?

• 29:08Speaker 04

  It's crazy, so.

• 29:09Speaker 05

  Did I tell you all what I spent on my new computer?

• 29:11Speaker 03

  Didn't you say it was like $30,000 or something?

• 29:13Speaker 04

  Yeah, you, you spent $120,000 on it. That's what you told us.

• 29:17Speaker 05

  Well, okay, it's not gonna sound expensive after I compare it to those numbers. Uh, it was 10 grand. It was 10 grand.

• 29:23Speaker 04

  10 grand? Yeah. If you want a really good computer nowadays, yeah, that seems right.

• 29:28Speaker 05

  That was with the 5090, 16 terabytes of hard drive space. I didn't even get the maximum RAM. I got two fours and an eight terabyte.

• 29:36Speaker 04

  Oh, I thought you said 60 and I was like, okay.

• 29:38Speaker 05

  I only got 64 gigabytes of RAM too, because RAM was crazy expensive.

• 29:42Speaker 03

  That's some Mark level shit right there. Yeah.

• 29:44Speaker 05

  Yeah, but uh, I was looking at the camera I bought. I saw I got a new camera that's not here yet, but it comes in tomorrow. Was the same exact price, brand new, as whatever I got this camera brand new. So 10 years later, the camera price for a brand new, nice camera was like the same. 10 years later for a computer, like five or six times the price.

• 30:03Speaker 04

  It is unbelievably stupid. I don't know if there's actually a shortage. There might be, or if this is just inflation of the price. But RAM shot up like four times its normal price, sometimes more, and now. Now storage like even an eight terabyte SSD, which I, I, I was getting plenty of those for, for my, my movie to shuttle files around. I had eight terabyte NVMe's all the time. Those were like 800 bucks. And I was looking at, I was like, that's so expensive. Okay. All right.

• 30:31Speaker 05

  GPU, RAM and hard drive was like 90% of the cost.

• 30:34Speaker 04

  Now that eight terabyte was up to $3,200. The same one that I bought went from 800 to 3200. Literally jumped up Forex and I'm like, that seems arbitrary.

• 30:46Speaker 03

  I'll just keep writing my stuff down on paper, I guess. God damn.

• 30:51Speaker 04

  Yeah. One, one, oh.

• 30:56Speaker 03

  Mark sitting in his bathroom render farm like, one, oh, oh, oh shit.

• 31:02Speaker 04

  The eBay servers I got for a great deal were like punch card from the 70s servers.

• 31:11Speaker 05

  Like John Wick, if they go to a call center to call in the number so they can punch them in.

• 31:15Speaker 04

  Oh God, I love John Wick's weirdly old tech that makes no sense.

• 31:21Speaker 04

  Their assassin distribution room. I don't know what that's about, but I love it. I love the style.

• 31:26Speaker 03

  It makes perfect sense. Probably. I don't know how it makes sense, but I'm sure it does. I would say that's on my list too. I think I've mentioned this before, but I still, I think one of the few panic attacks I've ever had was when I got my first smartphone. And this is really nerdy, but I just remember it was a T-Mobile G1. It was the first Android phone that ever sold commercially, at least in the US. I think it was for, and I'm like, I got it. And I got, I opened it. My parents got it for me for my birthday and it was a huge fucking deal. And I, in the car on the way to my birthday lunch, I was sitting there like, why can't I breathe? I'm gonna pass out. And I didn't understand what was happening. I fucking had a panic attack because I was holding a piece of technology that was so fucking cool. I hadn't even used it yet. I was just sitting there looking at it just like,

• 32:14Speaker 03

  that's legit. I wouldn't, I don't know if that's childish for me because I didn't really get into computers until I was in like maybe middle school at the earliest, but it'll never not be exciting. Wade?

• 32:24Speaker 05

  You touched on this. I have to go there. Diet. I mean, I eat a lot more than I used to. Like, everyone's like, well, you're such a picky eater, which is true. But like, I would not have eaten a lot of, um, uh, like the Indian food, uh, Thai food, stuff like that that I eat now. Seafood, I would not have touched a lot of whenever I was younger. So I do eat a lot more. But some of my staple things are still like, dude, I really want some pizza rolls today. I would kill for a PB and J. We still have the house stocked with SpaghettiOs. Everyone that I know hates them except for me.

• 32:55Speaker 03

  Hate them?

• 32:56Speaker 04

  I love them. SpaghettiOs and a can of ravioli together in the same pot.

• 33:01Speaker 03

  Plain SpaghettiOs or SpaghettiOs with meatballs?

• 33:04Speaker 05

  I'm plain SpaghettiOs.

• 33:06Speaker 04

  Oh, come on.

• 33:07Speaker 03

  There's nothing wrong with that, but I definitely prefer meatballs.

• 33:10Speaker 05

  I understand. I get it.

• 33:12Speaker 04

  You need the protein. There's like no nutrition there otherwise.

• 33:15Speaker 05

  I've had fancy like mac and cheese. I'm like, I kind of just want Kraft or Velveeta. Like, give me the shells.

• 33:21Speaker 03

  Dude, Velveeta and shells. I lived on that through college a lot. When I had money, I was buying the Kroger brand shells with melty cheese that was definitely not Velveeta. Um, cause that was the good stuff.

• 33:34Speaker 05

  I don't do like the Dino Nuggets. A lot of people have never had them, but like, I do like a Tyson honey breast chicken tender or something that I really like.

• 33:41Speaker 03

  It sounds like some adult shit to me. I don't know about that.

• 33:44Speaker 05

  Oh, I hated it when I was younger and I liked it, but I don't know. I just like, I'll eat more and there's times where I'm like, man, I really want some like curry and, uh, chicken or whatever and rice today. I would not have said that as a kid, but there are definitely days where it's like, I want chicken tendies and mac and cheese.

• 33:58Speaker 03

  Wade, do you want chicken tendies?

• 34:00Speaker 05

  Yeah. So diet and dude, there's still times where it's like, oh, every time I eat like gushers or whatever, I feel like crap, but like, Wade, do you want some gushers today? Give me some gush. Give me a fruit roll up like.

• 34:12Speaker 03

  No, that's legit.

• 34:13Speaker 05

  Yeah. My body does not like it whenever I give into those kid cravings. I still have those kid cravings. I think last night, it was literally last night. I was laying in bed. I was hungry. I was like, man, I kind of want some cereal. Oh, some Lucky Charms will go hard right now. Definitely still have that kid diet that I want and then body regret.

• 34:29Speaker 04

  In the same vein, I've got a couple of things. Cause like to touch on the diet is like, I. Have narrowed it down. You guys remember how I would often get low blood sugar and I would just start to be, ah, sorry, guys, I need to pass out for a little bit. And I would just like get super low energy and like I need breathe sweating and like all that kind of stuff. Do you remember that? I don't get that anymore because I narrowed it down to what it is. It's dextrose, right? It's, it's specifically dextrose. Any candy that has dextrose in it, if I eat too much of that, especially on an empty stomach, it will cause that to happen. And I don't.

• 35:03Speaker 05

  Oh, and you would pound some, like some of those sour candies?

• 35:06Speaker 04

  The sweet tart, shock tarts there and a lot of those types of candies, the chalky ones, they all have dextrose, right?

• 35:12Speaker 05

  Oh, that explains a lot, because.

• 35:15Speaker 04

  Exactly. Yeah. So, so it was super bad for me. And then ever since I've cut that out of my life, I've never, I haven't had that happen in years, right? So, uh, but I still, every once in a while, I'm like, this is bad for me. But I'll see a sweet tart or I'll see like a roll of Smarties, US Smarties, not UK Smarties. And I'm just like, oh, man. And like at the sound mix, they had these giant Smarties. And I was like, I can't have you. Why can't I quit you? My childish habit that I still do, uh, to this day is in, in two places, I do the same thing. Open the fridge, close the fridge, go to the pantry, go back to the fridge, open it again,

• 35:59Speaker 04

  stare in it. And as a kid, my dad would just get so mad because I'd be leaving the fridge wide open while I'm just standing there. And now it's worse because I usually have my phone in my hand and I'm just like, huh. And I'll look at my phone while I'm standing with the fridge open. Close it, go to the pantry, stand in the pantry, looking at my phone. And then I'll just be like, all right. And then I'll, that's just like I turned into a zombie when it's like I'm hungry. I do not prepare myself meals. I guess that's more what it is. It's just like I, I'm a scrounger. I will always scrounge. I will never stop scrounging. I've done it since I was a kid and I will do it until I'm dead, I guess. I can't do fixed meals.

• 36:41Speaker 05

  Dude, DoorDash is the same way for me. Like it's not opening the fridge. But like you have a million options at your fingertips. I'm like, oh, there's nothing to eat while browsing literally every type of food basically in existence. There's no food on this app. Literally everything is probably available and I'm just, I open it, scan through, close it, open it, search for a specific type of food, find it like,

• 37:02Speaker 04

  No.

• 37:02Speaker 05

  Close it. Not the fridge, but very similar vein. It's just, I don't know what program it does. It's like, yeah, our ancestors used to just go club the first bat they saw and eat it. Now we're like, we could have anything.

• 37:13Speaker 04

  No.

• 37:14Speaker 05

  Why bats specifically? How would, no, it's like the hardest thing to club. I'm like, what? No, I'm not saying like anything against bats, but I'm like, if I had to be like, damn ancestors, there's, there's a raccoon right there. I know, man, bats. Cause I don't know, you showing your torch light, the bats would fly near and you club them.

• 37:34Speaker 04

  Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what bats do.

• 37:36Speaker 03

  Sure.

• 37:36Speaker 05

  They like mobs, they echo locate toward flames. You didn't know that?

• 37:40Speaker 04

  Yep. That's what they do. The echoes bounce right off of the flame. Actually, they stand outside the cave. They wait till sunset and then as soon as they come out, they go,

• 37:48Speaker 04

  waving in the air and whatever falls down, they hold their mouth open. At least my ancestors did. I don't know if yours did.

• 37:56Speaker 05

  Well, they had to. That's how we're still here.

• 37:58Speaker 03

  I see one path. It's that path.

• 38:00Speaker 04

  I did it. I did a two paths thing this weekend. I couldn't remember why, but it was like, I think it was on one of the live streams where I was like, I see two paths and I don't know if anyone got the reference, but.

• 38:09Speaker 05

  I would have.

• 38:10Speaker 03

  I don't even remember what it's from. I just know it's from something we did together. It was the escape room episode or?

• 38:17Speaker 04

  It might've been. It might've been the escape thing that either you or Mandy made where it's like, so it constantly be last two paths. I remember I.

• 38:25Speaker 05

  I can't remember if it was related to the episode or not. It was just one of those bits that stuck for like that episode.

• 38:29Speaker 03

  There's so many scenarios where you could see a number of paths.

• 38:32Speaker 04

  We were so much funnier back then.

• 38:33Speaker 03

  Yeah, we've changed. One of us for the better, two of us for the worse. I'll let you decide whose is which.

• 38:39Speaker 05

  I claim worse. You claim worse too?

• 38:42Speaker 04

  I don't know. I just said dibs.

• 38:44Speaker 05

  All right, Mark, it's one of those two, better or worse?

• 38:46Speaker 03

  I'll get, I'll take the other one. All right, that's decided.

• 38:49Speaker 04

  And Wade, you're out.

• 38:53Speaker 05

  Free.

• 38:54Speaker 03

  Does anyone have anything else that they desperately wanted to get in? I, oh, I did have one that I wanted to say that I, I still like playground rides. I'm like way too big for almost all of them, but when you find a swing, that's like a swing that can accommodate an adult sized person. God, is that so fucking good? Man.

• 39:12Speaker 05

  I can't use them, man. I get sick.

• 39:14Speaker 03

  Can't you? You get sick on swings?

• 39:16Speaker 05

  Yeah, like when I was young, I was terrified of roller coasters. So I would do like the teacup or like scrambled egg style rides that would spin you. And then I loved sitting on a swing and just going back and forth. For some reason, the spinny stuff and swings do the same thing to me. They both just make me like motion sick. I don't know why, because I absolutely love the feeling of a swing, but I, three or four like bouts and I start to feel like that nausea creeping. It's really sad because I want to enjoy the swing.

• 39:40Speaker 03

  Sometimes you get older, you lose the ability to do stuff, but man, swings and merry go rounds go hard. Modern merry go rounds, bro. Those are some things, there's some crazy shit out there in the world of merry go rounds. Tell you what, there's in-ground incorporated ones where it's just like a turntable at, at ground. There's ones where it's like a whole gazebo that spins that you can like ride on. There's one where it's like a climbing jungle gym and it spins. And that one's got some crazy ass bearings, the one by our house. It'll go fast, too fast. Don't tell, don't ask me how I know.

• 40:15Speaker 05

  How do you know?

• 40:16Speaker 03

  I said, don't ask.

• 40:17Speaker 05

  Oh, sorry, sorry. Puzzles, man. I loved putting together jigsaw puzzles as a kid. I don't do jigsaw puzzles anymore. I, I wish I, I probably would if I had them. But I still have found that I actually really like puzzles. I think that's why blueprints connected with me so much was I liked the puzzle aspect. I still like building Legos. It's like a similar feel to putting a puzzle together. There's something I just really enjoy about that aspect of things. I don't know what it was as a kid, my grandparents would do puzzles, like they, I guess to get my brain going or something. They were like, this will be something good and productive for him. So I did a bunch of puzzles. By the time I was like six or seven, I was working on like thousand piece or whatever puzzles with my grandparents, but there's a part of my brain that still is always enjoyed that. And like, like I said, to this day, blueprints unlocked that feeling in me for the first time in probably like decades.

• 40:59Speaker 03

  I know that is a kid's thing, but I also feel like. It's very adult to be into 20,000 piece jigsaw puzzles.

• 41:05Speaker 05

  Maybe it is an adult thing, but like for me, it was my kid experience.

• 41:09Speaker 03

  Yeah, that's fair.

• 41:10Speaker 05

  Maybe that was unique to me as a kid because maybe not every kid did puzzles, but like I had, you know, tiny little like six piece puzzles as a kid, like the blocky ones that you could put in your mouth and not destroy, like wooden puzzles. And then like, as I got older, you know, you got fancier ones. They were like the three, the, that blew my mind. The first 3D puzzle where you like built a little cottage. It was like, it's a puzzle, but like up.

• 41:30Speaker 03

  Those were cool. I didn't like them for the puzzle aspect, but I thought they were very impressive. I thought those were crazy.

• 41:35Speaker 05

  Yeah, the puzzle aspect was not nearly as fun because they're kind of fucking annoying to put together, but like the end product was really cool.

• 41:41Speaker 03

  No, that's fair.

• 41:42Speaker 05

  Um, but yeah, the, the puzzly stuff I enjoyed as a kid.

• 41:46Speaker 03

  Did you have one, Mark? You look pregnant with thought.

• 41:48Speaker 04

  Oh, man, I'm, I'm struggling to come up with another one because I'm just so mature and I'm so well-developed and well-rounded as an individual. And I have no, no habits that I've carried over from childhood.

• 42:00Speaker 03

  Hey, that's allowed. You don't have to be an idiot like us.

• 42:03Speaker 05

  Were you like a thumb sucker still? Come on, tell us.

• 42:06Speaker 04

  I buy, buy my nails. That's definitely one. I still, I still buy my nails.

• 42:10Speaker 03

  I feel like a lot of adults do that. I don't.

• 42:12Speaker 05

  It's really bad for your teeth to do that. We gotta stop.

• 42:14Speaker 04

  Well, they say that, but I'm like, our teeth are pretty good. The only thing I've destroyed my teeth from is Takis and sour candy. I know what I've killed my teeth with.

• 42:22Speaker 05

  I chipped mine on candy, my front tooth on candy.

• 42:25Speaker 04

  Uh, well, we gotta get stronger teeth, better chompers. Yeah. Take care of your teeth. Brush, brush your teeth over. That's, that's a habit that I've stuck from childhood. That has stuck with me hard. I may not floss every day like I probably should, but I brush for that full two minutes every night. And often I don't do it twice a day regularly, but every night before I go to bed, if I don't brush my teeth, I, I, it hasn't happened, right? Like I always find a way to brush. If I don't have a toothbrush, it's like

• 42:54Speaker 04

  for two minutes.

• 42:55Speaker 03

  Dental problems are not good. Dental problems are always terrible, even if it's only something that's minor. Sucks. Turns out you need your mouth to eat and drink things and that's pretty crucial.

• 43:08Speaker 05

  Brush your backs too, because you don't want it spine problems. That's how you stop spine problems, right?

• 43:12Speaker 03

  I wish.

• 43:13Speaker 04

  Yeah, brush your back. Yeah.

• 43:15Speaker 03

  I will say I've carried over my childhood teeth brushing habits in a bad way where I do brush my teeth, but within the first 10 seconds, I get it out and I'm like, brush my teeth. And in 10 seconds, I'm like, oh my God, am I done yet? Fuck. Jesus, this is so boring. And it's like, I'm, I'm the parent and the child because I'm like, no, you have to do the whole time. Like, I don't want to do the whole time. I don't care if I don't have any, you know, you, you'll care when you start losing your teeth. But by the time I'm done having the internal discussion about it, usually it's been about two minutes and then I just done brushing my teeth. But I fucking hate it.

• 43:53Speaker 05

  I don't care for the minty taste of toothpaste. So my, my problem with brushing is I hate that minty taste and it lingering forever afterward.

• 43:58Speaker 03

  Well, I'm pretty sure they sell ass flavored toothpaste if you want it.

• 44:02Speaker 05

  I don't know that I'd want that one. I, this feel like the same thing to me.

• 44:05Speaker 04

  I, you feel like ass is the same flavor as mint? Wait, hold on, let's break this down. Hold on, back up.

• 44:11Speaker 05

  What? A properly prepared ass could be minty. Yeah.

• 44:15Speaker 03

  That's not what I was talking about.

• 44:17Speaker 05

  Yeah, me either.

• 44:18Speaker 03

  Oh, good. I'm glad we're on the same page.

• 44:21Speaker 04

  He's got that weird thing where mint, you know, cilantro tastes like soap to some people, mint tastes like ass, but he likes it, you know? So.

• 44:28Speaker 05

  Okay. Whenever you're doing like bean boozled and you get the mint flavor, it's like, oh, thank God. Even though the technically the other one's better on that one. It's just like a blueberry or something, but the blue bean boozled is the way to go. But like brushing me, I don't know. Just maybe because as a kid I didn't like it or something, but like I, to this day, I don't like, I don't think mint is a terrible flavor. I just don't like it, if that makes sense.

• 44:46Speaker 03

  They literally do sell like other flavors of toothpaste, like some of them are for kids and whatever, but like you, you, you could get something that's not so minty probably. You get like a mellow, like a chill toothpaste that doesn't, it's not gross for you. I'm sure that you can do that.

• 44:59Speaker 05

  I just stick with the tried and true, you know? It's like, I just deal with it. I don't like it, but I deal with it.

• 45:03Speaker 03

  But you buy it. I mean, maybe you don't physically pick it out the store. Maybe Molly buys it for you guys. We go grocery shopping or something. But, but like it's, you could probably ask her about that and it, you know what? Whatever. Brush your teeth with ass toothpaste as much as you want. That's fine.

• 45:17Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 45:17Speaker 03

  That's a good one though, Mark. What a great message to end on. Brush your teeth, everybody. And probably floss, but honestly, I don't know if there's any science supporting the importance of flossing.

• 45:28Speaker 05

  Dentists everywhere ripping their hair out after this episode.

• 45:32Speaker 03

  Yeah, but it's so annoying.

• 45:34Speaker 05

  And then blood just and I know if you keep doing it, that won't happen, but

• 45:39Speaker 03

  The one time a year I floss teeth pop out, I'm bleeding everywhere. It's awful. I just flossing is obviously so bad for my mouth.

• 45:47Speaker 05

  I just pretend it's a Rocky Balboa movie and I just won the fight. I actually take a popcorn bucket into the bathroom. I fill it back up.

• 45:56Speaker 03

  Anyway, um, great, great ending message, Mark. Brush your teeth, everybody. Read a goddamn book.

  We're gonna call the episode there. Mark, you earned points for the number one movie in America today. Uh, you got an agreement point. You had a dungeon crawler point. You got a point for playing with computers. You got a point for being an Apple genius. You got a point for being a fridge gazer and you got a point for brushing your teeth. Wade, you earned points for you also got an agreement point. You got a play to read dungeon crawler Carl point. You had a laughing at your own joke point. You got the went first point. You got a point for playing pretend. You got a point for working on computers by installing a GPU and a hard drive into an otherwise fully built computer. You had a point for eating childish foods like PB and J.

• 47:46Speaker 03

  You had a point for clubbing bats and you got a puzzle point. Uh, leaving the final score with Mark with seven and Wade with nine.

• 47:54Speaker 04

  Damn.

• 47:55Speaker 03

  Unfortunately for Wade, two of those points are lie points.

• 47:59Speaker 04

  Oh, man, this could go either way.

• 48:02Speaker 03

  So it is seven to seven real points. Wade, you have two lie points.

• 48:06Speaker 04

  Oh, absolutes are coming.

• 48:09Speaker 03

  It is time to consult the wheel of bullshittery and nonsense.

• 48:14Speaker 04

  But didn't you get a point, Bob?

• 48:15Speaker 03

  I do have one point. That's that's correct. I yeah, I got a callback point. That's right.

• 48:20Speaker 04

  That's right, because you called back.

• 48:22Speaker 03

  I saw I saw two paths. Actually, I saw one path, but whatever. Uh, how many bonus points will there be? I'm gonna guess it's gonna be three.

• 48:31Speaker 04

  Oh, it comes down to one.

• 48:33Speaker 03

  One point. Oh, yeah, I have to add something. Most childish.

• 48:38Speaker 04

  All right, good.

• 48:39Speaker 03

  That one's gonna be a hot debate.

• 48:41Speaker 06

  Goo goo gaga.

• 48:42Speaker 04

  I'm getting in there.

• 48:46Speaker 03

  That just reminded me of something I can't remember even kind of.

• 48:49Speaker 04

  Sorry, Mark, I was delayed laugh. I zoned out. That's okay. I heard it.

• 48:52Speaker 03

  You don't have to explain yourself. Drooled the most?

• 48:55Speaker 04

  I don't think I drooled at all. I don't think I drooled at all.

• 48:59Speaker 03

  I mean, Mark did hit us with the goo goo gaga, but.

• 49:01Speaker 04

  Oh, yeah, a little drool, but it's pretty childish. It would have been. I should have.

• 49:05Speaker 03

  That's a respin. That's a respin. And?

• 49:10Speaker 03

  Scariest contribution, man.

• 49:12Speaker 04

  Dungeon Crawler Carl, very scary. I'm telling you. Technically, Mark's movie is a horror movie.

• 49:17Speaker 03

  Oh, that's true. I don't think you talked about anything scary, Wade. I gotta be honest.

• 49:21Speaker 04

  DoorDash prices.

• 49:23Speaker 03

  Oh, seafood. Mark gets a scary, scary point. Mark has eight points and Wade has seven points.

• 49:33Speaker 04

  Oh, and I think I forgot to mention this. Maybe I should have read it and mentioned this. There is a point owed to me for when I'm finally done with the movie.

• 49:40Speaker 03

  Oh.

• 49:41Speaker 04

  That's like long, long ago has been said. I don't know if it's true, but I'll just say it now because I don't want to have to pull that out at some other point in the future. I'll forget about it anyway. So I'll just like.

• 49:52Speaker 03

  No, I'll put it. It's on the record. Mark also got a point for finishing the movie. Immediately leaving the final score, Mark, Mark with nine and Wade with seven. I didn't give it to you, so I'll give you one.

• 50:03Speaker 04

  My global point total.

• 50:04Speaker 03

  Wade, poor effort today, really, all around. Uh, loser speech?

• 50:08Speaker 05

  We went into this episode, I had a grueling headache, a contact lens lost behind an eyelid. But you know what? I fought it nearly to a tie, despite the fact that I was on my deathbed when we began. And not to be over dramatic, but I was probably legally dead for at least a hundredth of a second. But I'm still here. And honestly, that is a win in and of itself. The epitome of standing on the third rung of the final standings and biting my gold medal, popping the champagne and kissing the lady who gave me the medal. That's me today, baby. I competed. I was here. Woo!

• 50:43Speaker 03

  Pretty sure it's bronze. And also, third place is pretty good out of a lot of competitors. So I think it's really context dependent. But you are here, Wade. You did survive. Mark? Victory speech?

• 50:55Speaker 04

  I have freedom, which means that I will eventually go insane and I will destroy my life to get even a hint of the same amount of dopamine and serotonin that I got from this weekend. It is the beginning of the end for me. But at the beginning of the end, it's still pretty good. A year from now, I will be a devastated wreck. I will be lost to the wheels of Hollywood forever. I'm gonna let it go to my head, just like I'm letting this victory go to my head. I'm prepared for it, and I can't wait to be a shell of a man.

• 51:27Speaker 03

  That's the spirit. Woo! Good job, everybody. Mostly Mark. That's gonna be the end of the episode. Make sure you check out Mark and Wade on the socials.
