  Good evening, gentle listeners or watchers, and welcome to Distractible. This episode: Matty Bob brings the existential banter and talks crusty 20-inchers. Worrisome Wade sucks men, um, with gaming news. Converses crafty crafting. Channels cipher and fortifies his yard. Fresh mop'd Mark declares winny-winny-weaky, gets ballbagged by Brits' censors, replicant-tested, and hallucinates. From six phone lines to exploding trees. Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! It's time for... Snow Days!

• 2:12Speaker 03

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

• 2:23Speaker 04

  Hello and welcome back to my mom's second favorite podcast. That's right. You're listening to Distractible. Hopefully you're watching, honestly, because I think you all know how we feel about that. But if you're listening, I guess you're welcome to. My name is Bob. I'm going to be your host for today. Because even though I don't remember how it happened, somehow I won the last episode. Uh, which was clearly deserved and I was hilarious. So congratulations to me. Uh, competing today on the episode will be the other two guys who are always here. The only other two guys who are always here. It's Mark and Wade.

• 2:59Speaker 05

  Hey.

• 2:59Speaker 06

  And I'm bald. Ha.

• 3:02Speaker 05

  Er.

• 3:03Speaker 06

  Uh, I got a haircut.

• 3:05Speaker 05

  Oh yeah. See, there's like a little curl right here where you're hiding the receding hairline. Hmm. Interesting. Interesting.

• 3:10Speaker 06

  No, no, please.

• 3:12Speaker 05

  Uh, no hiding it now.

• 3:15Speaker 06

  Uh, I got a haircut for those listeners.

• 3:21Speaker 04

  Sounds shorter. Yeah, there it is.

• 3:23Speaker 06

  Hey, come on, man.

• 3:24Speaker 04

  No, just your hair. You got a haircut. Come on. You're not rubbing your legs on the mic, are you?

• 3:29Speaker 06

  I mean, I could, I could, but they feel real long. It's sound really long.

• 3:33Speaker 04

  You sound so much taller than you actually are.

• 3:36Speaker 06

  This is a sex phone line. Hey, can you rub the phone on your legs? I want to hear how long they are.

• 3:42Speaker 05

  I could go down that rabbit hole, but I feel like we'd be canceled. So I'm not gonna.

• 3:46Speaker 06

  Yeah, that would get us. That would get us canceled. Oh, now my hair is all messed up, guys. Come on.

• 3:50Speaker 04

  It looks great. While Mark fixes his hair, let me remind you of the rules. It's there's, I give points. It's arbitrary. Let's not pretend. I know we have rules. We have a constitution. It's arbitrary. Okay, let's not. Uh, but also there's some very strict rules and whoever gets the most points wins. Unless that's not what happens. Uh, and Mark already has one for sounding so, so short.

• 4:13Speaker 04

  It's your, your hair, Mark's hair. Fine. Mark's hair gets the point. Not Mark. Mark's not sure. Just Mark's hair.

• 4:19Speaker 05

  You guys are so big. There we go. That's the one.

• 4:23Speaker 06

  It's all angles and mirrors, man.

• 4:25Speaker 04

  It's how I make my boobs look so big.

• 4:27Speaker 05

  I've been hiding an elephant this whole time. Really small, small elephant.

• 4:32Speaker 04

  Editors, don't help them. Unless you have an elephant filter on your camera. Do they make those?

• 4:36Speaker 06

  Oh, yeah. Yeah, it's called a VTuber.

• 4:39Speaker 05

  You can like raise your hand and your thing. Never mind. It doesn't work. I lied to you.

• 4:43Speaker 06

  What are you saying, Wade? There's like two jokes going on. I can't follow the funny.

• 4:48Speaker 05

  I'd look like an idiot.

• 4:54Speaker 05

  Maybe I think of zoom instead of this.

• 4:57Speaker 06

  I don't think I've ever seen Wade Bale on a joke before.

• 5:00Speaker 05

  What do you mean it's a joke? There's a feature I thought that was here. It's not here, clearly.

• 5:05Speaker 04

  How are you guys? Let's do small talk.

• 5:08Speaker 06

  Oh, man.

• 5:10Speaker 04

  Final stretch?

• 5:11Speaker 06

  I, yes, I guess. I mean, I've got nothing left to do, really. I was sitting around last night and I was just, Amy, Amy was, Amy was laughing at me. Okay, let's be honest. Amy was laughing. But I was sitting around being like, I am bored. You'd think that I'd be like, yay, I'm bored. I haven't been bored in a while, but I'm bored. I don't want to look at my, my small rectangle anymore. I want to, I want to.

• 5:35Speaker 05

  Get a tablet.

• 5:36Speaker 04

  Yeah, big rectangle. That's what's up.

• 5:38Speaker 06

  No, tablets. Oh, it's heavy. I don't want to hold it.

• 5:42Speaker 05

  Get a stand.

• 5:43Speaker 06

  Stand?

• 5:44Speaker 05

  They have stands.

• 5:45Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 5:46Speaker 05

  For tablets, yeah. Hands free.

• 5:48Speaker 04

  Could be like a big, long arm, just holds it right in front of you.

• 5:51Speaker 05

  Oh, that'd be cool. Okay, all right, I can do that. What about one of the, have they made smart glasses yet that can project images into our eyeballs?

• 5:58Speaker 04

  Probably.

• 5:59Speaker 05

  They have flashlights that can do that. You just put like a little cover over the light and turn it on and.

• 6:04Speaker 04

  What?

• 6:07Speaker 05

  You know, like the projectors we had in school, they'd put the thing on and shine a light. It would like project it. You just do that with a flashlight and shine it right into your retina.

• 6:14Speaker 04

  Sure, sure.

• 6:16Speaker 06

  I know, but I'm just, I'm bored, guys. I'm bored. I don't have anything to conquer. I've achieved all my goals. My dreams are good. What else could I do?

• 6:26Speaker 04

  Die, I guess.

• 6:28Speaker 05

  Oh, I've got something that'll suck you in.

• 6:31Speaker 06

  Die or suck. Welcome to die or suck.

• 6:35Speaker 05

  That's right. Those are your two options.

• 6:36Speaker 06

  I mean, it depends on what we're sucking here, but you know, it's compelling, I guess.

• 6:41Speaker 04

  All right, Wade, suck him in.

• 6:43Speaker 05

  I was out. I was out for a long time, but my friend Patrick sucked me back in. New Gotcha game came out and I hadn't been in the Gotcha games for a while. I'd been out for quite a while. It was nice, but this one, I feel, I don't know if you guys played the Genshin type games. I never got super into Genshin. I was like, it's okay, but whatever. I never played the original Ark Knights, but there's an Ark Knights End Field that just came out. You know, like a 3D run around explorer and the world's fun. I enjoy the story. I've enjoyed the world, the characters. Like I've enjoyed it so far. It doesn't have the stupid little annoying sidekick who speaks for you, which I definitely appreciate. I don't like one of those little fucking rabbits with a hat that's like,

• 7:21Speaker 07

  Hey buddy, let me tell you all the things you need to know. I'm your protagonist.

• 7:25Speaker 05

  Thankfully, none of that. The character talks. It's crazy. It's a wild concept. I love it. But they mixed in factory building into the game, like a satisfactory factorio factory building. It's a little bit light, especially early on. Like, you know, it's not super complex, but like there's some decent recipes and I think that they're going to add more. But right now I've got three factories going, getting me the stuff I need to craft gear and make some serious dough. So, and there's, um, I don't know what the word for this is, like a trading system where you can go and like buy goods at a low price. And then on your friends list, you can see who has like the best price to resell.

• 8:05Speaker 05

  So there's like a resale trading market to make money. So I've been into like buying low, saving goods and selling high. Like I've gotten into it. I'm not going to lie.

• 8:13Speaker 04

  What was the name of it called?

• 8:14Speaker 05

  Ark Knights End Field.

• 8:17Speaker 04

  You, before we hit record, you mentioned this and I was like, nah, whatever. Arkfield.

• 8:21Speaker 05

  I went in deep, like the characters and the gotcha system, the combat and stuff's fine. It's fine.

• 8:26Speaker 04

  How much money are they try, like, do you have to pay to win?

• 8:31Speaker 05

  I mean, maybe to get like the best characters, but for all the other stuff, the stuff I really enjoy. I know you can't actually spend money to get like faster progression in the base building or the income earning and stuff like that. Like it seems most of the money systems are just spent around getting characters and they, of course, they have like the weapons, the character and their weapon. They've got other packs that'll give you some boosts, but like you can grind everything out. The, the monetization system really to me wasn't that bad.

• 8:58Speaker 06

  You know, it's funny about this is I'm on the Ark Knights page and I was, I was looking at the art on the top. I was like, why does this look familiar? And then I looked over at my, my other tab with my news articles and there's a big banner ad of that game right on the front page here. I'm like, I knew I saw it somewhere. I don't know if it heard you or something, but uh, it's nice, it's nice.

• 9:18Speaker 05

  I had a thought the other day about something. I didn't even say anything out loud. I think it was a restaurant and then I was scrolling and immediately it was like kind of obscure and it just popped up and was like an ad for that too. And I was like, it doesn't even have to listen to me talk. It knows my thoughts.

• 9:31Speaker 04

  Simulations getting real brazen with that.

• 9:34Speaker 05

  I think it's just the synchronicity, but it felt like mind reading.

• 9:37Speaker 04

  It's for, the simulation's forgetting what it should and should not know. That can't tell the difference between thinking things and saying them out loud. It's just going to start to break down from here. We're, we're in the end game, boys.

• 9:48Speaker 06

  The end game of what? Do we die afterwards?

• 9:50Speaker 04

  Well, the real question is which of us are parts of the simulation? Which of us are real?

• 9:55Speaker 06

  It, does it have to only be one of us or could all of us potentially be?

• 9:58Speaker 04

  We can debate that to begin with because I'm still not decided on if this simulation has one person and a, or if it's like the matrix where it's like all the people are collectively in it, but also there's, you know, NPC, a simu, I don't know.

• 10:13Speaker 05

  I'd like to think I'm Neo, but I'm much more likely to be the bald guy in the first matrix who just wants to go back in to eat steak.

• 10:19Speaker 04

  Oh, you're not the bald guy. He's bad.

• 10:22Speaker 05

  He's not bad. His motivations of wanting a steak, I get it.

• 10:26Speaker 04

  He's kinda bad. He gives them up. He betrays.

• 10:29Speaker 05

  Steak.

• 10:31Speaker 04

  Yeah. I learned a funny thing about that scene very recently that I'm surprised I had ever heard before. You know, apparently that guy does not like steak and that whole scene, he's supposed to be enjoying a very rare steak and apparently he fucking hated it. And so they're shooting the scene. He's like, I know this steak is juicy and delicious.

• 10:52Speaker 04

  So I'm gonna eat it now happily.

• 10:57Speaker 06

  Okay, alright, maybe he's not so good because I don't know many people. Even vegans and vegetarians coming out of like being a vegan or vegetarian eat steak and they cry from the, the, the experience of it. But I guess there are probably some people that don't like steak.

• 11:11Speaker 04

  Okay, well, if we live in the matrix, then are all three of us real? Or is Mark an agent? Or what do we think?

• 11:16Speaker 06

  Why do I be an agent? Why do I gotta be an agent?

• 11:18Speaker 04

  I don't know, you just wanna see if your body can take it.

• 11:20Speaker 06

  What are they? That's not anything that the agent said or did. Mr. Anderson, I'm not a masochist. I remember that.

• 11:30Speaker 06

  Tweak my nipples, but not in a weird way.

• 11:33Speaker 04

  What if you didn't have a mouth? Hmm, what if I didn't have a mouth?

• 11:39Speaker 06

  Now do me, Mr. Anderson, now do me. It's the smell.

• 11:48Speaker 04

  He's actually, uh, Neo actually was not that good of a fighter. Agent Smith was just like, I want him to hit me. I want him to hit me. I'm gonna slow it down and let him get some shots in. I wanna see if my body can take it.

• 12:00Speaker 06

  He programmed himself testicles just so he could get kicked in the crotch. Know what it feels like. Mr. Anderson.

• 12:07Speaker 05

  Mr. Anderson. I wanna re-watch it knowing that he's a masochist and just like seeing how different the vibes are.

• 12:14Speaker 04

  Well, I'm glad we decided that. Uh, anyway, uh, is that all the small talk you guys?

• 12:18Speaker 06

  I mean, the only other thing is by the time this comes out, it will be the official release date of Iron Lung, so that's pretty cool.

• 12:24Speaker 05

  Hey, that's true.

• 12:26Speaker 06

  I'm very excited everyone gets to go see it and see what a fraud I am.

• 12:29Speaker 04

  Movie theaters everywhere can finally be like, it's already out, stop emailing us.

• 12:34Speaker 06

  I can't believe they just let me put my, my let's play of Iron Lung in theaters like that.

• 12:40Speaker 05

  That would be so funny.

• 12:44Speaker 06

  But just like one theater, one theater in a random place just has a let's play and that's it. That'd be very funny.

• 12:50Speaker 05

  You just re-edit the whole let's play into like a two hour video and then at the end, there's like a link that people could take a picture of that takes into the unlisted YouTube video that's actually your movie.

• 12:59Speaker 06

  Yes, I keep my movies in unlisted.

• 13:06Speaker 06

  The best security in the world.

• 13:08Speaker 04

  You know what I want to see is a in it. Were those let's plays you did where you're like on the treadmill or in the ice bath?

• 13:15Speaker 06

  Oh, the the impossible.

• 13:17Speaker 04

  Impossible. Let's play. Let's play Iron Lung in the motion capture set or not motion. The full motions set of the thing and whatever happens in the game, the thing is like.

• 13:30Speaker 04

  That's that's still exists, right? They're not using that for anything else.

• 13:32Speaker 06

  I mean, I don't know. They probably trashed it after they were done with us.

• 13:35Speaker 04

  Probably like an expensive piece of machinery or something.

• 13:38Speaker 06

  I just got got because the UK film rating came out and I was like, oh, it's been someone just says it updated. It's like strong language, bloody images, threat, YouTubers, mild peril, blood, claustrophobia, loud noises, more blood, pagona phobia, fish, so much fucking blood, jump scares, nudity, and more blood.

• 13:55Speaker 05

  Wait, fish and YouTubers have to be acknowledged in the ratings?

• 13:58Speaker 06

  Yep, that's it.

• 13:59Speaker 04

  They're so silly over there.

• 14:02Speaker 05

  Warning, content creators are in this film. It's the middle of Iron Lung. Like and subscribe pops up.

• 14:13Speaker 06

  But think of the engagement I would get. I would get so many subs.

• 14:16Speaker 04

  In the in the middle of the movie, like a Linus tech tip segue like, oh, no. The segue to our sponsor, Rich Wallets.

• 14:27Speaker 06

  I would make a lot. I mean, they do product placement in a movie, but I bet I could swing. I could sell out real hard.

• 14:32Speaker 05

  Mr. Anderson, I know I can take it because I'm brought to you by Muscle Milk. Today's sponsor, Mr. Anderson.

• 14:42Speaker 04

  The agents, if you see one, just run. You can't fight them. They're too fast, like T-Mobile's 5G home internet.

• 14:52Speaker 05

  Can we just make the movies as if they were YouTube videos? I want to do this with so many different movies.

• 14:58Speaker 06

  You know, that'd be a good episode idea. Why don't you write that down?

• 15:02Speaker 05

  I should.

• 15:03Speaker 06

  You can do it next time.

• 15:04Speaker 05

  I want you to paint me like your French curls, wearing this, only this, brought to you by K Jewelers.

• 15:11Speaker 06

• 16:19Speaker 04

  Okay, I have a game that applies to two thirds of us. So everyone here is going to have a really good time with it. Wade and I live in Ohio and a few days ago, before it all started, Wade and I were probably watching the news. We're watching the weather reports on social media or whatever. And everyone was like, you're going to get 20 inches of snow. It's going to be the blizzard. And we were like, okay, so we're going to get like an inch of snow. That's fine. And they're like, no, no, no, it's going to snow Saturday. And then Saturday came and it didn't snow at all. And we were like, yeah, I knew it. And then we woke up on Sunday with actually a foot or more of snow in our yards. And it made me think, I want to talk about snow days. We could talk about snow day traditions. If you have any things that you really like to do or your favorite snow days.

• 17:04Speaker 04

  I have a couple of things. I think I have a couple of stories. They're not very long stories, but I haven't told on this podcast, which is hard to find of things that happened to me or I did on snow days that are like legendary memories for me. We all grew up where there's snow. So even though Mark lives in a tropical paradise where it's 75 degrees every single day of the year, you know, snow. You remember snow?

• 17:26Speaker 06

  Uh, yes, yeah. I know snow. I know snow.

• 17:29Speaker 04

  Uh, but I can kick it off. So you guys can have a second to think about your favorite snow days. I think my most legendary snow day of all time is, uh, growing up, the house that we lived in was, we were across the street from like a cul-de-sac. So we were, there was a street across from our driveway, right? And so when it snows, what that means is the plows would take all the snow from that road in front of us and push it into our front yard, which was generally fine. Sometimes it would block our driveway, but there was one time where it snowed a lot, like comparable to what we got this past week, uh, where it was like, I think we got a foot to a foot and a half of snow. It was a lot of snow and they played such a huge pile of snow in our front yard

• 18:11Speaker 04

  that my friends and I dug it out into a snow fort.

• 18:17Speaker 06

  I did that too.

• 18:18Speaker 04

  Like four or five of us could fit inside the snow fort and it was awesome. Thinking back on it, it's a little bit of a miracle. We didn't have any cave-ins and nobody got, had to get rescued or whatever, but like, I still remember what it felt like sitting inside that thing. And cause when you do, uh, I don't know if it's the same for an igloo, but when you make like a snow fort, when you're inside of it, especially multiple people, you start to sort of warm it up and you sort of melt the inside walls, but then they freeze over again and it turns it into like an icy crust. It's a whole, I remember how it felt, what it looked like, what it tasted like.

• 18:55Speaker 06

  What it tasted like.

• 18:56Speaker 04

  Yeah. And I'm done with that. Uh, I remember after a little while, we, it took us hours and hours to make it. And then it was finished and we climbed inside and we were like, yeah. And then like 45 minutes later, we were like, all right, this is kind of just like a cold room, isn't it? Who wants to go inside? But like, that thing was fucking awesome. That was the best snow day. Um, but that's my, I have a couple other ones. That's my most legendary snow day of all time.

• 19:22Speaker 06

  I'm jumping in.

• 19:23Speaker 04

  Do it.

• 19:24Speaker 06

  All right. So I don't know if this is a real memory or not because when I think back, when I think back on snow days, right? This cannot be true. Like, there's no way this is true. Me and my brother, I remember us being huddled around a radio, listening for broadcasts, but there's no way that's true. It's, but I picture like this big, like grandfather clock looking radio with the long slats and the glowing top and it's orange and you're

• 20:02Speaker 04

  Yeah, sure, sure.

• 20:03Speaker 06

  And it's like the Milford Christian School, damn it. God damn it. And I'm like, that can't be reality. That can't be. It must have been a TV, but in my head, it's radio.

• 20:13Speaker 05

  That was definitely when you and your brother were listening to the fireside chats.

• 20:17Speaker 04

  One of those, like at your parent, growing up in your house or at a, at a, like a your grandparents house or friend's house or anything is possible?

• 20:26Speaker 06

  But that doesn't mean it can't be real.

• 20:28Speaker 04

  There's a good shot that that did not actually happen.

• 20:31Speaker 06

  I'm telling you, man, I'm telling you, maybe I'm telling, I'm saying maybe.

• 20:36Speaker 05

  You gotta ask your brother, see if he has the same memory.

• 20:38Speaker 06

  Uh, he would say yes, just to make, make me seem.

• 20:41Speaker 04

  But so you were like huddled around trying to listen for school closings.

• 20:44Speaker 06

  Yeah, all of us, all 10 of us.

• 20:46Speaker 04

  Sure, sure. And the orphanage you grew up in. Sure, sure.

• 20:50Speaker 06

  Oh God, am I, am I, am I being implanted with someone else's memories right now?

• 20:55Speaker 05

  You've been pretending to be someone else for so long, you don't remember who you are.

• 20:58Speaker 04

  Wait, I think he's a replicant. I think we might need to do the, uh, test. Do you have your camera that zooms in on his eyeball?

• 21:04Speaker 05

  Did they ever explain what that test? Nah, you know what? Just test me. Hit me.

• 21:08Speaker 06

  Brought to you by Apple.

• 21:10Speaker 04

  That was fun though. I, and honestly, we never had as many snow days as I wanted us to, because I hated walking to school in the snow and I had to walk to school for elementary school. But sitting and staring at the news and not even registering what the news people were saying and just being like, uh huh, uh huh. Oh, it'll come around again. Maybe the next time.

• 21:30Speaker 05

  There were always the same schools that you never heard of, except. For whenever you were watching the school day tracker and it's like,

• 21:37Speaker 06

  Oh yeah, where, where were those schools?

• 21:39Speaker 05

  Oh, like Jack and Dell is closed again. I don't even know what that is. Why are they closed? They're always closed. They ever have school?

• 21:46Speaker 04

  Dave's daycare that he keeps in his basement, closed. Dave's upstairs daycare, two hour delay.

• 21:53Speaker 05

  There were also two different versions of me to start the snow day. There was the, you wake up. Well, sometimes you know the night before, if you have the, the day off and it's like, oh, turn that alarm off. Sometimes I'd leave the alarm on just to wake up and be like, it's a snow day and turn it off, go back to sleep.

• 22:07Speaker 06

  What's wrong with you?

• 22:08Speaker 05

  I was a psychopath back then. I don't know.

• 22:12Speaker 06

  Yeah, freak. What are you, a freak?

• 22:14Speaker 05

  But even I was used to getting up early. So there were times where you'd wake up, like go to see if you have a snow day. And then like, you'd see if you have a snow day and later I would like, I went back to bed. I was a little bit younger. It was like, I could go back to bed, but I don't want to waste my snow day. I've got all day for this snow day.

• 22:29Speaker 06

  But those, those two hour delay days were so weird because everything was compressed, like,

• 22:35Speaker 05

  I forgot about the delays.

• 22:36Speaker 06

  It was just like every class, but faster.

• 22:41Speaker 05

  Fifty minutes of literature, you have 20 minutes. Go.

• 22:43Speaker 04

  That must, I never thought about it ever until just now. That must've been such a pain in the ass for the teachers.

• 22:49Speaker 06

  Oh God.

• 22:50Speaker 04

  Teachers have, they have a lesson plan. They're like, all right, I got a 55 minute period or whatever. Every single minute is like, okay, and then we'll get this all in and right as the bell rings, I'll be like, and thanks, have a good one. Bye. And then it's like, all right, too hard to wait. You have 38 minutes. What are you teaching them? Some of this probably wasn't important, was it?

• 23:10Speaker 05

  Good question. Yeah, I don't know. That, that would have been awful though for,

• 23:13Speaker 06

  Ah, they deserve it. We're a distractible hate teachers.

• 23:16Speaker 04

  Take that nerds.

• 23:19Speaker 05

  That's us. Mark, Bob and me, Tyler. We hate teachers.

• 23:26Speaker 04

  Has it been you the whole time?

• 23:28Speaker 05

  Love sports.

• 23:30Speaker 04

  He does say that a lot.

• 23:31Speaker 06

  We, we took Tyler out for his birthday and we went and this is not related. Why am I jumping off on a tangent?

• 23:38Speaker 04

  Was it a snowy day?

• 23:39Speaker 06

  No, it wasn't a snowy day.

• 23:41Speaker 04

  I'll allow it. Tangent away.

• 23:43Speaker 06

  Okay. All right. So he, he wanted duck. You know, Tyler, he has his whimsies. He wanted.

• 23:49Speaker 04

  He loves ducks.

• 23:50Speaker 06

  He heard that this place had duck, so we go to this place. It has duck, right?

• 23:54Speaker 05

  I've never heard him talk about duck before in my life. Okay, this is new, Tyler.

• 23:58Speaker 06

  So it was fine. It was good. I liked it. It was smoked duck. I don't, I haven't had duck. I don't know if I've ever had duck, actually, but it was, it tasted like a ham bird. It was like a bird made of a ham.

• 24:11Speaker 04

  What kind of, was this like a French restaurant? What kind of?

• 24:14Speaker 06

  No, Korean. It was a Korean plate and it was a smoked duck and it was just a huge plate of it. And it's like already cooked, but then you stick it in the fryer after you've been cooking all the other meats. Cause it's Korean barbecue kind of place. And it was great. It was fantastic. And then we kept being like, as soon as the duck came out, we were like full, but then we just kept pounding it. And then John's car got locked in the garage next door and couldn't get it out. We go back to the restaurant owner. He's like, oh, big problem. Big problem. Oh, looks through his phone for like five minutes. There's like a thousand numbers and no names. I'm looking at his phone too. It's just like numbers in his contacts, but no names. He's like, ah, yeah, calls. Oh, he's in Arcadia. He's like an hour and a half away and we go, we'll wait. Okay.

• 24:56Speaker 06

  I guess we could go to a coffee shop or somebody. He's like, nine, nine percent people, no wait.

• 25:04Speaker 06

  Oh, okay. I guess we'll come back tomorrow. He's like, oh, good. Anyway, so that car, John's car got locked there. Anyway, that's my story. And then we bought him furniture.

• 25:13Speaker 05

  John or Tyler?

• 25:14Speaker 06

  Tyler, you know, Jiler.

• 25:16Speaker 04

  Jiler.

• 25:17Speaker 06

  We got Jiler.

• 25:18Speaker 04

  That's their couple name?

• 25:19Speaker 06

  Well, it's cause, all right, maybe we're being a little mean, but we were in, we were in Tyler's place and it, he hasn't gotten anything new since he moved in. He's gonna be mean, but I'm gonna say it anyway. We said it looked like if he brought a girl over, it would look like a serial killer lives there. Cause bare walls, pure white, super modern. There's like a fold out plastic table in the front. This makes it sound bad.

• 25:42Speaker 05

  Grates on the floor, plastic down everywhere, chainsaw on the table.

• 25:46Speaker 06

  That's what we were, there was plastic.

• 25:50Speaker 04

  Knives and instruments arranged just so on the counter.

• 25:53Speaker 06

  Yeah. So we go, we take him to Home Goods. We'd start grabbing random shit off the shelves like we filled two shopping carts plus holding like a lamp and like paintings were like we're gonna fill this place up. It was like we grabbed a handful of knickknacks and chucked it in there. It didn't look any different like it was nothing we had. Everything was set up. We're like, all right, the coasters. I got these jars of decorative olives and artichokes and shit. You don't have to eat them. You just put them in your kitchen. They'll think you're fancy and and it looked like nothing happened in there. To shop, I'd loaded my truck up with stuff. Anyway, another story doesn't matter.

• 26:34Speaker 05

  Hey, by the time he turns 40, you're gonna have a perfect wall.

• 26:38Speaker 06

  We got ice cream afterwards. That's how snow relates.

• 26:40Speaker 04

  Did you go to that cool, that cool place? What's it called? Honeycomb? What's that?

• 26:45Speaker 06

  Went to Baskin Robbins.

• 26:46Speaker 04

  Okay, so not the cool place.

• 26:48Speaker 05

  Yeah, we went to um, Bob's right. There was a place we went. It was good.

• 26:52Speaker 04

  Yeah, I remember that place.

• 26:53Speaker 05

  Yeah, I do.

• 26:54Speaker 04

  It's it's the one Ethan can go to because they don't use nuts or something.

• 27:00Speaker 05

  It was near one of the theaters we went to watch improv, right?

• 27:03Speaker 04

  Yes. Man, I can't remember what it was called.

• 27:06Speaker 05

  But man, you hyped it up and it lived up to it. Thanks, Mark.

• 27:10Speaker 06

  Man, good, good eyebrow. I did that.

• 27:13Speaker 04

  Okay, huddled around radio. Got it. Wade, snow day stuff?

• 27:17Speaker 05

  Mine's similar to yours, Bob, but I didn't have like a roof. We we built a big walled fort, but we built it to play army. We had like toy guns and stuff and we used to play army. We didn't have any like snow colored fatigues, but we did have like normal army fatigues. So we would dress up in our normal army fatigues, running around this snow fort that we built. And our version of army was basically like you see someone, you're like, got you. They're like, no, I got you for and then you argue that one of you would win and you would capture the person and like take them back to your base. Then people had to come rescue them. I don't know or understand how the rules worked, but as kids they made total sense. But we build up these huge walls and we had like you had to go through the first walls and around the other one. They weren't that tall.

• 27:59Speaker 05

  You could probably hop over them, but we honored them as if they were fortress 30 foot high walls.

• 28:04Speaker 04

  Was this in someone's like yard or was this in? Like a wooded area?

• 28:07Speaker 05

  My grandparents yard is my grandparents yard. Cause we used to play the, we lived two houses away from our neighbor that we played with and the neighbor in the middle didn't care. So it was like us, neighbor not involved, friend, neighbor not involved. They had like a fenced in backyard. We didn't go in that, but the rest of their yard, we were allowed to play in. So that was our full battleground where our three yards combined minus the neighbor's backyard.

• 28:30Speaker 04

  And you had army fatigues? Is that what you said like?

• 28:32Speaker 05

  Yeah. Yeah. There was like an army clothing store that we would go to as kids and we got like kid sized. Yeah.

• 28:40Speaker 04

  For all those army kids they have.

• 28:42Speaker 05

  Green and brown and light brown and slightly darker shade of green army colored clothing. Yeah. And we ran around playing army. We were like 10.

• 28:51Speaker 04

  Sounds fun.

• 28:52Speaker 05

  One of our friends was super into it. Like we all were into it, but like he would like in the fall bury himself in leaves, have nothing but like a little sight line for his scope. So we could see out or he would hide under people's vehicles or like, we never knew where he was.

• 29:07Speaker 04

  Was anyone else playing with him when he was doing this or he'd just do this just to set it up and then see if he could catch you?

• 29:12Speaker 05

  We were all playing, but we had a theory that he was always out there hiding somewhere, ready for the next game.

• 29:19Speaker 04

  That's comforting.

• 29:20Speaker 05

  He's probably still there now under someone's truck waiting for us to emerge. Yeah. Uh, that's the one I remember was uh, that and some sledding trips.

• 29:27Speaker 04

  Yeah. I, that was, that was one of the other memories I have is I did not live near a good sledding hill. And we always ended up going somewhere either really disappointing to go sled or really, really dangerous. And there was no in between. And one year in particular, we decided it was like an icy snow. So there was a lot of hard pack ice or whatever like. And we had a friend who had a really long, really steep driveway. So instead of going to find snow on top of grass or something, we're like, let's just do the driveway. It'll be fine. He lives at the end of a street. Like there won't be traffic and I got, I tried to do the old hold your sled up on your chest, run, jump, go get, you know, maximum speed.

• 30:09Speaker 04

  And it was icy and the sled stuck to the ice and pulled my chest backwards and my face down. And I slid down his whole driveway. I think exclusively on my nose. And so then for the next few months, my whole nose was just absolutely fucked. Like it was my entire nose was just scabs and like my face had like some scab scratches at scab, but like my nose, I, he lived a couple of blocks away. So we did this and I stood up and I was like bleeding profusely. And I was just like, I got, I got, I guess I gotta go home. And I like walked home face dripping blood and walked in the house to my dad. It was like, help. And he was like, what the fuck?

• 30:54Speaker 04

  You were going sledding. Oh my God. So yeah, that was my sled. We, did you guys live near like a good hill? Manny always talks about growing up, they lived here, a hell of a sledding hill. That was like awesome.

• 31:04Speaker 06

  I had a hill and I'm pretty sure we were allowed to sled on it, but it was, it was one of those hills where it was someone's house was up there and technically it's on their property. We would like go there in the summer and we'd roll our red wagon, you know, down with the sides off for speed. Um, and then, you know, I, I don't think we owned a sled. So we brought the wagon at, in the snow and we would cut the hill in the wagon, which is functionally the same. And I know that there's no difference, but it felt like sledding, right? So it was, it was different. And, um, I can, I, I never knew if we actually had permission or not. No one ever came out and yelled at us.

• 31:47Speaker 06

  But I have distinct memories, much like the radio that people did yell at us, but I don't think anyone actually yelled at us. Um, cause there were also other kids occasionally, especially during the winter that were on this hill. But I had this sneaking suspicion that we were not supposed to be there the entire time. So I never really had fun. So I'd always tell my brother, we need to leave. We gotta go. We're gonna get in trouble. We're gonna die. And then, uh, I was pretty much, I was, I was the worst probably. I was the worst.

• 32:11Speaker 05

  I only ever got yelled at by neighbors whenever I tried to build a tree house in their yard.

• 32:15Speaker 06

  Wait, huh?

• 32:16Speaker 05

  That's the only time I ever got yelled at by neighbors.

• 32:18Speaker 06

  You built a treehouse in someone else's yard?

• 32:21Speaker 05

  Treehouse is a strong word. We brought a bunch of like sticks and limbs into the like from our family's garbage piles and we were like, we could build our own tree fort in these pine trees. Why wouldn't that be? Okay, let's do it. So we just started dragging a bunch of sticks and limbs and like putting them in wagons like you were talking about like other shit. And we literally just drove like in the middle of this street. So we lived on the opposite end of the street. We went to the middle of the street. This neighbor had a line of pine trees because they wanted like their privacy. We were like, nah, this is for our tree fort. And so they looked outside and just saw a bunch of kids bringing shit into their yard and like climbing in their pine trees. And they weren't very happy about it.

• 33:00Speaker 06

  I mean, I don't see why. Maybe they're a bunch of assholes.

• 33:03Speaker 04

  Sounds like their problem.

• 33:04Speaker 05

  To answer the sledding question though, I did not have a good hill. What was that park? Mark, the park that we played football, it wasn't Miami Meadows in Milford. It was the other one.

• 33:13Speaker 06

  Huh? I don't know the names of parks. You think I know the names of parks? What parks? I don't, I don't know one name.

• 33:20Speaker 05

  Anyway, there's a park in Milford that had like a good hill, but the problem with it was that if it was too good of conditions, it ended in a creek. So if you went down the hill.

• 33:29Speaker 06

  Yeah, I know that.

• 33:30Speaker 05

  Yeah. I can't remember the name of it, but we used to go there and play football when we were older, but as kids we would go to that hill and it was relatively busy. So somebody had to like take turns with other kids. It was always a bit scary because if you had a really good run on the sled, you were getting or the sled or whatever the word is, uh, tube, inner tube we brought sometimes. You would end up right on the edge of that creek and it was not like a small fall when you were a kid. It was a, if you went down, you were, you were dropping a little bit.

• 33:54Speaker 04

  Sounds like you should just always ride the inner tube. Then you're ready for the creek.

• 33:58Speaker 05

  Things never work out as the way they think they will in your head. Like you with the nose, like you, you run and jump on the sled. You think you're going. Sometimes you have too much momentum and you just slide off of the sled. Then you're just tumbling down the hill and your sled comes behind you and hits you in the back. Things just never quite go the way they're supposed to in your mind when you're sledding.

• 34:15Speaker 06

  I mean, what are you really thinking? Because all I'm thinking is. Or, ah, and then I crash and die.

• 34:22Speaker 05

  I was a panicky kid, so I was always thinking of what happens if things go wrong.

• 34:26Speaker 04

  I was a panicky kid too. I was always like, oh, we can't be here. We gotta go sneak out.

• 34:30Speaker 05

  Even on the sled, I was like, what if someone else's foot comes flying down and hits me in the face? So I would like land and like duck and cover for a second till I knew it was safe.

• 34:39Speaker 06

  Like just the foot, like he chucked a grenade behind you and.

• 34:44Speaker 05

  I don't know, man. Weird, random fearful thoughts.

• 34:47Speaker 06

  Hmm. All right. Well, I mean, that's for the best. You know, no, that wasn't a snow day. That was just skiing. That doesn't qualify.

• 34:53Speaker 04

  There's snow in skiing. That's close.

• 34:54Speaker 05

  He was water skiing in sand.

• 34:59Speaker 06

  I've never gone water skiing. Have you gone water skiing?

• 35:01Speaker 04

  Never done it.

• 35:02Speaker 05

  No, my family did, but I always just rode the tube. I like the tube.

• 35:06Speaker 04

  Like every person like my parents' age I've ever talked to about water skiing, they're like, ah, water skiing is great. Ah, we used to do that when we were kids. Yeah. So if my buddy had a boat or whatever and that, and that always ends with, yeah, and this one time they were like doing sharp turns and whipping me around and they whipped me right into a dock. And I hit a metal pole face first at 35 miles an hour. I can't believe I'm alive. Like I swear to God, my dad and Mandy's dad and a couple of my uncles all have the exact same story. And every time they tell it, I'm like, okay, don't go water skiing. Got it.

• 35:41Speaker 05

  Yeah, there were some scary moments watching my dad and other people be pulled behind. Cause uh, down in Lake Cumberland, it's really rocky and cliffy around the edge of the water bank. So watching them like, be whipped around toward the rocks. If they had let go or gone flying, they would have landed like just in a pile of giant, sharp rocks, it'd probably be dead. Maybe that's why I didn't do it. Cause again, I was a terrified kid.

• 36:00Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 36:01Speaker 05

  Tube was the same thing though. If you go flying off on the tube, you could very easily end up.

• 36:05Speaker 04

  You know those videos of like inner tubes with like five kids on them on a windy, stretch where the thing just goes and turns into a kite? And then the kid, the kid just launch into the air like, but it looks kinda fun, but that would be so terrifying.

• 36:20Speaker 06

  Is this what it means to get older when we just don't have any childhood wonder and fearlessness in our soul?

• 36:25Speaker 04

  Just afraid of everything.

• 36:27Speaker 05

  Fear. Pennywise was an idiot. He should have gone after adults. We're so much more scared as adults. Like tax season, Pennywise popping up like, hey, Bobby, got some taxes?

• 36:36Speaker 06

  Hey, you Bobby?

• 36:36Speaker 05

  Bobby, I'm afraid.

• 37:39Speaker 04

  I think the other thing that I that I thought of when I was thinking about the snow day, there was one year, well, there was one time when we were in, I think maybe around the time we would have been seniors in high school, there was like a really bad ice storm. And I remember this because I had my audition at UC. We drove down and I was supposed to play my instrument to audition to get into music school on the day when there was like a half inch of ice all over everything and they shut the campus down and it was crazy. But there was a time when we were younger, like elementary school, where a similar thing happened. It snowed a couple inches and then there was a solid, like maybe almost half inch of ice on top of it. And they fucking, my district didn't close the schools and I had to walk to school on

• 38:23Speaker 04

  top of ice. Like I literally have a memory of like going out down the driveway, kind of slipping, sliding down the driveway and then stumbling along the sidewalk on ice. And it was so bad that a neighbor was driving their kid to school and saw me and was like, "Do you want a ride? Are you okay?" And I was like, "I'm good. No, almost there." Like I, because you're not supposed to get in the car with strangers and I knew that. But it's just fuck, I, the whole walk there to school, I was like, "How the fuck is school not closed today? What is this bullshit? Why?" Do you guys remember that or is that more?

• 39:00Speaker 06

  I don't know, but you seem to have turned into an old man in that. I was like.

• 39:05Speaker 04

  I was very grumpy as a child. When I was in third grade, I was basically already 70 years old. And then I DH a little bit, and now I'm where I am now.

• 39:15Speaker 05

  I was lucky. I never had to walk to school. I never really had to deal with that aspect. So I don't remember that specifically when we were younger. I remember the one when we were in high school. I don't remember the one when we were younger with the ice.

• 39:24Speaker 06

  No, I don't remember that either.

• 39:26Speaker 04

  Well, never mind.

• 39:28Speaker 05

  You get all the way to the school and the school's up a hill and it's all ice and you just can't get there and then you get in trouble for missing.

• 39:33Speaker 04

  It was up a slight hill. Somehow it was literally uphill both ways. I'm not it sounds like I doing it. It was it wasn't uphill the whole way both ways, but there was a hill.

• 39:44Speaker 06

  You know what would have been cool is if there was like a snow day, but there was a new category where it's like, if you can make it, show up. Because I always thought that it would be fun as a kid, like if I, because when I was in junior high, I could walk to school. I walked just through these little woods and right to school. But it would be super cool if you showed up and all the teachers were there and they expected to teach it. But you were like, the only person. You're like, the only kid.

• 40:10Speaker 04

  You like extra credit or something? Like, what's the reward?

• 40:13Speaker 06

  No, no, no. Everyone else fails. You just get your credit.

• 40:16Speaker 04

  Just to see if your body can take it?

• 40:18Speaker 06

  No, there's nothing to my body that's taking it. I'm just at school.

• 40:22Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 40:22Speaker 06

  No, there's nothing masochistic about this.

• 40:24Speaker 05

  Is it just you and your teacher or just you?

• 40:26Speaker 06

  There's a teacher and whoever actually made it. Everyone else is frozen outside in a ditch and I'm, I'm, I made it.

• 40:33Speaker 05

  Because there's a horror movie that came out not too long ago called Weapons. And one of the earlier scenes is a kid showing up to class and he's the only student in his class that shows up. It's just him and the teacher. So that's what made me think of it. But it's a very different scenario there than just a snow day. Because all the other kids are missing.

• 40:49Speaker 04

  When you said other types of snow days, I thought you were talking about like how they have like exploding tree warnings in the plain states because of how cold it's been.

• 40:58Speaker 06

  I want to see a video of that, but all I get are the AI videos of exploding trees, which is like as if someone put a death cord on a tree. Exploding tree. The guy running through the woods like.

• 41:13Speaker 04

  You're saying those aren't real?

• 41:15Speaker 06

  No, well, they're real to somebody.

• 41:17Speaker 04

  There must be videos of it. I swear I've seen a video. It wasn't like a super dramatic one. I swear I've seen a video of a tree, just like, and part of it popping off. I think it was real. If it wasn't real, it was the most boring thing anyone's ever used AI to generate.

• 41:33Speaker 06

  Maybe that's a good, good, a good competition. Who can make the most boring AI video possible?

• 41:38Speaker 04

  What would it be?

• 41:39Speaker 06

  Let's all sign up and start to find out. Let's crank out those AI videos.

• 41:43Speaker 04

  Let's start generating. It's gonna take over 70,000 prompts to make this three second clip.

• 41:48Speaker 05

  I know what it'll be. YouTube is allowing us to make shorts using AI, making images of our own likenesses. So I'll just make a short of one of my own videos.

• 41:56Speaker 04

  I'm glad I consented to that program.

• 41:58Speaker 06

  I haven't heard of that. Is that a thing?

• 42:00Speaker 05

  Yeah, six days ago, there was an announcement YouTube will soon let creators make shorts with their own AI likeness.

• 42:05Speaker 06

  Oh, good.

• 42:06Speaker 04

  That's probably fine.

• 42:07Speaker 06

  It's what people want, right?

• 42:09Speaker 04

  It's people are just screaming for it. Everybody wants that. I haven't heard anyone say anything different.

• 42:14Speaker 06

  Oh, man, this article is so funny. Okay, Mohan, is that the CEO? Yeah, Neil Mohan, who I have not met. And I don't know if I've ever had a chance. Today, once odd trends like ASMR and watching other people play video games are mainstream hits. The fuck? Odd trends?

• 42:33Speaker 04

  Yeah, that's super weird.

• 42:35Speaker 06

  Of people play, watching people play video games. It was never weird. Even Jimmy Kimmel admitted off camera when he wasn't being his dumb persona. Sorry, sorry, Jimmy.

• 42:47Speaker 05

  I like all the self censoring you did there.

• 42:52Speaker 06

  Jimothy, no, seriously, Jimmy, Jimmy Kimmel, off camera was like, no, I totally get it. It's totally fine. Then on camera was like, why you play video games? People watch? I'm like, what are you doing, man? What the hell is happening? What happened to you? Yeah, so it's very strange, but it's not odd. It was perfectly normal then. It's perfectly normal now. Why am I catching strays here? Anyway, AI content now.

• 43:15Speaker 04

  If only there were some organization that existed to try and fight against these things.

• 43:21Speaker 06

  Now, they must be corrupt and building their own language model.

• 43:24Speaker 04

  Probably. Look forward to real good AI's chatbot coming out soon.

• 43:29Speaker 06

  I bet it's really good.

• 43:30Speaker 05

  How much water do I need to give?

• 43:32Speaker 04

  Oh, minimal.

• 43:34Speaker 05

  Minimal? I want to be maximal. What if I get more?

• 43:36Speaker 04

  Oh, turn it up. That's not what real good AI does. Just to be clear, Manny would kill me if I made that joke because people would definitely. Anyway, snow days.

• 43:46Speaker 05

  Loved them.

• 43:47Speaker 04

  They're way harder as a parent. I will say that. I never appreciated that it was such a pain in my parents ass to have a snow day. But I shoveled a lot of snow and were trapped inside with James and like, there's only so much you could do inside a house when you can't ever leave for any reason. And you can't do it like, do you do any of your things that involve going outdoors even at all almost? It's been so freaking cold that we couldn't even really go play in the snow for very long or else his face would freeze off or something probably, but.

• 44:15Speaker 06

  And you still gotta go to work sometimes. I mean, if, if, you know, you wouldn't understand Bob, but some parents have real jobs and they gotta go to work, you know?

• 44:24Speaker 05

  Yeah, one on, once odd trends like content creation don't count.

• 44:30Speaker 04

  Yeah, I never thought about that either. I don't recall my mom ever not going to work on a snow day. Like, I don't know that we ever had one that was so bad where she was like risking her life going out, but she was never like, ah, it says snowed. She was always like, ah, gotta go fucking work at eight in the morning. See ya. And then my dad was like, what do I do with these assholes?

• 44:50Speaker 04

  Get out of here. Go to school or something. God. But then we just played video games and didn't talk to him for the entire day. So he's probably fine. That's the end. So make sure listeners and viewers, you go to subreddit and share all your favorite snow day stories. Also, it's not worth any points or anything and we won't read them, but someone might. Let's sum up the scores. Mark, oh, I didn't realize I wrote it like that. Mark's hair earned points for, I'm gonna say that counts as you. You currently represented by your hair, but this is Mark's points in general. Mark earned points for sounding short, being bored. Um, I don't know what this means.

• 45:31Speaker 06

  Oh, is it being kicked in the balls?

• 45:33Speaker 04

  Oh, kicked in the nuts. Right. Uh, radio hallucinations. They deserve it for teachers. Uh, your illegal sledding and oh, Timothy.

• 45:43Speaker 06

  My illegal sluttin? How did you? How do you know about that?

• 45:46Speaker 05

  His body can take it.

• 45:48Speaker 04

  Your sledding is totally legal, but the sledding on that hill in that person's yard? Very criminal.

• 45:54Speaker 05

  What if you slutted while you sledded? Would they cancel out?

• 45:56Speaker 04

  Slut slut sled sled slut sled? I feel like those are different things.

• 46:00Speaker 05

  Slud?

• 46:01Speaker 04

  Sludding. Uh, Mark, you've got seven points. Wade, you earned points for there was, oh, for the joke you completely abandoned for the first time in your entire life. You didn't commit to it a bit. For Pat sucking you back in, uh, for telling us about Ark Knight, which I'd already downloaded on my phone during this episode.

• 46:20Speaker 05

  Some of your friend code.

• 46:21Speaker 04

  Leaving the alarm on like an absolute psychopath for your fun sounding snow army games with your friends and for building your pine tree fort in someone else's yard for some fucking reason.

• 46:32Speaker 05

  Yeah, neighbors did not like that.

• 46:34Speaker 04

  That earned you six points.

• 46:37Speaker 05

  Oh, one man show opportunity.

• 46:38Speaker 06

  Every time it is, but not this time.

• 46:42Speaker 05

  I gotta really be more biased moving forward in points to make sure one of you just dominates.

• 46:46Speaker 04

  Mark, great episode. You got two points.

• 46:48Speaker 05

  All right. Bob, you had 500. It's so weird. Oh, it's been the wheel.

• 46:53Speaker 04

  Oh, mystical wheel. How many things are we gonna spin? Please make it an even number.

• 46:58Speaker 05

  Oh, shoot. I haven't thought about what I want to add. I don't get to add. Bob add.

• 47:02Speaker 04

  You know what, Wade? Just for, ah, it's three. Okay. Just for you, Wade. I'll add whatever you want, Wade. What do you want to add to the wheel for me?

• 47:08Speaker 05

  Oh, I want whatever Mark's hair wants. Oh, what do you want, hair? Wash me for once in your fucking life, man. Wash me. Ah, most recently washed hair. I'll never win.

• 47:20Speaker 06

  All right. Okay.

• 47:21Speaker 04

  All right. That one's not gonna make any sense when it comes up three months from now.

• 47:26Speaker 05

  Well, I haven't showered today. I showered yesterday.

• 47:28Speaker 04

  I mean, it's not confusing. We're just gonna be like, why did we add that? But who cares why we added that? Anyway, three spins it is. Uh, it's so small. I can't see it. Don't worry. You'll see it once it stops. Hardest thinker. I don't. Look at my face right now. I'm thinking. So hard. Oh, Wade, can you think any harder than that? Or is that?

• 47:49Speaker 05

  This is the hardest I've had to think so far. I mean, the most I could think of is Mark trying to remember if his radio was real or not.

• 47:55Speaker 06

  I'm thinking so hard.

• 47:57Speaker 04

  Ah, all right. Wade Wade called it hardest thinker goes to Mark.

• 48:01Speaker 06

  Thank you. Ow, actually.

• 48:02Speaker 05

  I don't know of any other moment that was so thought.

• 48:06Speaker 04

  No brain aneurysms this episode, boys. Uh, spin number two.

• 48:13Speaker 04

  Hey, all right.

• 48:17Speaker 05

  Don't call it a back come, call it a comeback, or don't do that either.

• 48:20Speaker 06

  I'm not gonna do any of that.

• 48:22Speaker 05

  Okay.

• 48:23Speaker 04

  Hey, and that saves me from the one man show, except possibly if I spin the one man show. Most callbacks.

• 48:32Speaker 06

  Wade did a callback of my joke at one time. Toy at one time.

• 48:38Speaker 05

  One time I did. Uh, we didn't really call back to Mr. Anderson. That was all just one bit.

• 48:42Speaker 04

  Mark handed it to you, and since it's pretty immaterial either way.

• 48:47Speaker 05

  I'll take it.

• 48:48Speaker 04

  Wade gets most callbacks.

• 48:50Speaker 05

  That means I win.

• 48:51Speaker 04

  Final score is Mark with eight and Wade with seven and one half points.

• 48:56Speaker 05

  Oh, I thought I I thought I eclipsed it by half a point.

• 48:59Speaker 06

  That's what I call back come. Damn it.

• 49:02Speaker 04

  Congratulations to Mark and a slightly less congratulations to Wade, but you survived. That's pretty good. You're still here. Wade loser speech.

• 49:11Speaker 05

  I don't like snow anymore. As an adult, it's less fun. Shoveling, trying to make space for the dogs to go take a shit, trying to figure out how we're leaving the driveway. It's just not as fun. I imagine being a parent stressful. Snow as a kid, best thing ever. I want to go back.

• 49:26Speaker 06

  I want to go back.

• 49:27Speaker 04

  Sad. Good loser speech. Mark winner speech.

• 49:30Speaker 06

  Um, it's shocking that the guy who lives in a place that never gets snow won the snow day episode. I think that just shows how much I am committed to winning every game that I am participating in. I give it my all and I will always give it my my. So thank you, everybody for giving me my my and you my all.

• 49:49Speaker 04

  You're welcome and or congratulations. That's gonna be the end of the episode. Mark's gonna host the next one because he is just the best of us. Who said being short was a disadvantage? Thanks so much for participating. Sorry, I threw another sort of joke that was honestly gratuitous and I didn't need to do that. I don't.

• 50:05Speaker 05

  I call it dessert.

• 50:08Speaker 06

  I've never seen, I've seen you eat dessert before. You've never eaten it like that. If you could stop living a lie.

• 50:15Speaker 05

  You know, whenever we did the, uh, baby food challenge with Jesse, there's a clip of me doing that and you made me a baby. Or so whoever edited made me a baby.

• 50:23Speaker 06

  Oh, well, that's still not dessert. So what?

• 50:26Speaker 04

  Uh, make sure you check out Morgan Markplier, Wade at Lord Minion 777 or Minion 777. I am IceGrim. Check out the merch distractible.shop. As of right now, today, there should be new merch on it. Uh, you can check it. It's Valentine's Day stuff. You should look at it.

  Mark's gonna host the next one. We're out of here. Like we always say, podcast out.

• 50:48Speaker 05

  Oh, in Iron Lung in theaters now.

• 50:50Speaker 04

  Oh, yeah. No, that's a pretty good thing. Ah, we don't have to talk about the movie.

• 50:54Speaker 06

  Whatever is all right.

• 50:56Speaker 04

  No, yeah. You, you, if you're listening to this, you better already have tickets. If you're listening to this, you better have tickets. What do you even do with your life? This is basically a podcast that's one-third been about the production of Iron Lung.

• 51:07Speaker 06

  Actually, yeah, that's pretty true.

• 51:09Speaker 05

  One-third lenses, one-third baby, one-third Iron Lung.

• 51:12Speaker 04

  And Wade's here too. Podcast out for real this time. Go watch Iron Lung. Uh, if I said it after I said podcast out, it doesn't even count.
