  Hey, everyone. Welcome back to another episode of Distractible. I'm today's host. Wade. That's my name.

• 2:57Speaker 06

  I thought you forgot it for a minute.

• 2:58Speaker 05

  It is not bald. It is Wade, W-A-D-E.

• 3:02Speaker 06

  Wade.

• 3:03Speaker 05

  Making that clarification for no reason in particular. Joining us always with my co-hosts, Mark and Bob. Hey, guys.

• 3:07Speaker 06

  Hi.

• 3:08Speaker 03

  Hello.

• 3:09Speaker 05

  Usually start off with a bit of small talk, and I'm gonna jump right into it. I've been getting a lot of links from people about bald, about cures for bald, about other dudes who are bald, about the success rate of bald, what people think of bald. Just all of a sudden, there's a lot, there's a lot of information out there about bald, and I'm getting all of it. I am consuming bald like there's no tomorrow.

• 3:34Speaker 03

  The success rate of being bald or the success rate of curing bald?

• 3:38Speaker 06

  Or your bald surgery.

• 3:40Speaker 05

  Or bald surgery, yeah. Apparently, there's now another treatment for bald out there, and, uh, people must not like bald, because they, they keep sending me stuff like, buddy, try this.

• 3:50Speaker 03

  Okay. They're just concerned, probably.

• 3:54Speaker 06

  I, you know, if you suddenly grew hair, it'd be like when we filmed space and you had that wig on. It would look like you had hair, but it wouldn't look right. Not that the hair would look off. That wig actually looked good, and you looked good.

• 4:07Speaker 05

  If I get my hair back, I'm shaving the beard. It's gonna be so back to 2015 Wade.

• 4:12Speaker 06

  Wait, what if you?

• 4:17Speaker 06

  Is that what they do in Turkey?

• 4:18Speaker 05

  The gray would be gone because you know if they get my hair back, it's gonna go back to like where it was when it started falling out. So all the color will be back.

• 4:25Speaker 06

  Right. It resumes.

• 4:27Speaker 03

  It's like, uh, it's like the snap and it's gonna just blip, but it'll be right back and however many years have passed, but it's just the same.

• 4:34Speaker 05

  So I've been talking about just having some babies so we can get some umbilical cords and some of those stem cells and stuff. I'm just gonna start slapping it on every day. Can't wait. How are you guys?

• 4:44Speaker 06

  For, for once, I don't want to jump right into my stupid stuff because I know Bob has some, I don't know if he wants to talk about it, but.

• 4:51Speaker 03

  I was busy being in the hospital.

• 4:54Speaker 05

  This might be the whole episode. This Bob's fridge, but like hospital.

• 4:58Speaker 03

  I think I have a pretty funny story today and it has nothing to do with the fact that I went to the hospital.

• 5:03Speaker 05

  Okay.

• 5:04Speaker 03

  Um, but it's, I, I was in the hospital. I ended up going to the ER, which is mostly annoying because I should have just gone to the urgent care earlier in the day. Um, but I have had the most painful ear infection of my entire life in this last week and I didn't really know they could be that bad, which is why I assumed I had like something worse happening. I, I've had plenty of, I used to get ear infections semi regularly and like lots of kids get that. And I, so I know what it feels like, but I literally, I think you could still see it in my face. Probably. My face is like uneven. The side of my face is just, has been super swollen and like, I couldn't close my mouth. I was, my jaw was hanging open crooked because of how utterly fucked my whole side of my face was.

• 5:48Speaker 03

  Yeah. It's apparently just an ear infection. Went to the ER, uh, scared Mandy, had to call the grandparents to watch James while he was sleeping. And they did a CAT scan and they did a bunch of blood tests, but, and the doctor's like, yeah, it's just an ear infection, you big baby. Just take, put these drops in there and it'll fix it. Anyway, I'm a loser, but Mandy got trapped in a room in a house with no internet. Isn't that funny?

• 6:15Speaker 05

  Oh, no internet.

• 6:16Speaker 06

  Yeah, that last part, oh.

• 6:18Speaker 05

  Oh man, I was like, that's a normal day. It's used to that. That's real scary.

• 6:23Speaker 03

  So we moved recently and we're getting. The other, our old place ready to, for new people to move into it, to get rid of it. To baby proof James's room, I switched the doorknobs out because we are both of, or that house had doorknobs where it was like a stick. I don't even know how to describe it. It's not like a circle, you know, like a twisty one. It's like there's the paddle doorknob and you push it down. Those are really hard to baby proof because even a baby who can't grab things can like hook their hand on a doorknob and yank it down and open the door. So I switched the doorknobs to the round ones so we could baby proof it. And I had taken all the doorknobs that I had switched out of that house, but not put the old ones back in. So there were a couple of rooms that just had doors with latches with no knobs.

• 7:09Speaker 03

  And Mandy was over there cleaning and was just like not paying close attention and the door to the room closed and latched. But there was no knob or anything and I was sick and passed out from medicine and she was like calling me and I was not answering. And so she, she was like, I was like trying to figure out how to call the non emergency police number because it was trapped in this house where no one was going to be. Luckily she had her phone with her, but like I wasn't answering the phone and she's just in this room, just like.

• 7:43Speaker 03

  And like, it was like she, it was, she was on the second story. Cause she looked and she was like, maybe I'll climb out the window, like just push. Nope. Second story, no jumping out the window, nothing. Eventually I did wake up and see that she was calling and freaking out.

• 7:59Speaker 05

  Luckily she had her phone. That would have really sucked if she didn't.

• 8:02Speaker 03

  If she, if her phone had been like downstairs or something, she would have been, I don't know what she would have done. But the real, the real kicker is she realized right about the time I was arriving at the house. She realized there were these old command hooks on the wall that had just been hanging up, whatever stuff on the wall. She took one of those off the wall and like used the little hooky part to jam it in the door. And literally I was like walking up the stairs and I just hear like click, squeak. And she walks out of the room and it's like, hey, so.

• 8:35Speaker 06

  Have I ever told you about the time I locked Amy out of the house way back when?

• 8:39Speaker 03

  No, I don't think so.

• 8:42Speaker 06

  She's coming home late for whatever reason and I went to bed and so around, let's say like 11 or something. Cause I go to bed early. So like 11 or something, she gets home, but I've locked the doors, right? So she could get in the garage for some reason, but not the inside door. Like she had a garage opener, but not the inner door, the side doors locked, the front doors locked. She tried to call me, my phone was like dead or something. And so she's, she's, she, she ended up sleeping in that van, the barrel in the garage.

• 9:16Speaker 06

  So I wake up, I wake up, I look at my phone, it's just like texts and texts and calls. And I'm like, oh my God, I sprint downstairs, open the door, right as she's sliding open the van door. It's like, hi.

• 9:31Speaker 06

  I look at her, I'm like, oh my God. It was like, yeah, your phone was off. I'm like, oh, why didn't you ring the doorbell? And she goes.

• 9:38Speaker 03

  Oh.

• 9:42Speaker 03

  I was like, I would be pounding on the door, pounding on the windows.

• 9:45Speaker 06

  I have entirely forgotten about the concept of a doorbell. Like I, I don't even think where I am right now is a doorbell. Like it's so. She says now that she rang the doorbell, but it's like, I think I would have woken up to the doorbell ringing.

• 9:59Speaker 03

  Dude, I, I, if I'm going somewhere, I will go, I will wait extra time rather than ring the doorbell. I'll text and be like, hey, I'm here. Hey, standing outside.

• 10:08Speaker 06

  Cause they have dogs, the dogs start barking, it's a whole thing.

• 10:11Speaker 03

  Fuck door, ringing a doorbell is like calling someone. I don't want to do any of that. Just know that I'm there and let me in. Come on. Anyway, didn't the barrel stink? Or was that a later situation? I thought that, I thought that was a stinky van.

• 10:23Speaker 06

  Oh no, I don't think it was ever that stinky. It just, it had an, it would smell because it really did have like all this wood lining. And I don't think it ever stank badly unless during one of the videos where we had like the haunted house going through there's.

• 10:35Speaker 03

  I don't know. I just have a memory of you talking about it. Like it got, like it got water and then it got stinky or something bad. Or I don't, lots of stuff happened to that thing.

• 10:43Speaker 06

  Oh wait, no, right. Later on, it was, it was in a driveway one time and I think that it, it kind of just got water. It must've gotten water in or an animal got in it. I'm having this vague memory of something got in there and then that, that happened. But I'm not, no, no, I don't know.

• 10:59Speaker 05

  Great small talk that I've definitely been keeping track of points on and didn't forget about that part of this job.

• 11:04Speaker 03

  We've only made almost 400 of these episodes.

• 11:07Speaker 05

  Yeah, I've not hosted a lot this year.

• 11:09Speaker 03

  You keep saying that, but that's just actually not true.

• 11:12Speaker 06

  He's climbing, though. He was actually for a while there. He was not hosting for a while because I was I had a dominating streak there for a bit there where we were just like swapping dubs and he was collecting Ls.

• 11:23Speaker 03

  But the actual numbers are not that far apart, even still, like you do trail and on the season as a whole, but not by like, you're not like 20 episodes behind or anything.

• 11:33Speaker 05

  30 now.

• 11:35Speaker 03

  No, that's.

• 11:37Speaker 06

  He's he's everything he says that the host is true. So it's like, just let him let him do this.

• 11:42Speaker 03

  You have so much hair. Have I told you how much hair you have recently? Host daddy.

• 11:47Speaker 05

  No, I need to shave my feet.

• 11:51Speaker 03

  I'm gonna stop sending you emails about bald stuff from random alt emails that I create.

• 11:56Speaker 05

  Lately, it was I got sent a link to a bald subreddit where everyone's really supportive and nice to each other. Like, oh, you don't need hair, man. Hair was never good to you. Bald bottle treat you right.

• 12:06Speaker 03

  It's a bunch of like condescending, but all the bald guys are like, I'll take anything. Just be nice to me.

• 12:12Speaker 05

  It's it's rough out there when you start losing your hair. It it's a it's really harming the self esteem because like you see every time you comb, you see that little bit of recession, that little bit of thinning, or you go to like scratch. It's like more scalp than I remember. And your first instinct, I mean, at least I can't speak for everyone, but my first instinct was always like, well, I can cover it up for a little while, but if it once it gets the comb over, then we're done. But like, you don't really realize you're inching up toward comb over until just like, I don't know, one day it hits you and you're like, no, we can't really ride in the convertible because then like when I get out, the ball will be showing.

• 12:47Speaker 05

  Wait a minute, I'm making I'm like, I can't ride the car because I'm afraid of the bald showing. I gotta change something.

• 12:52Speaker 06

  Uh, now it's iconic. I can't imagine it any other way.

• 12:55Speaker 05

  Same. I don't know. I don't know what I would do if they cured bald this. Would I go back and try it?

• 12:59Speaker 06

  Yeah, maybe you could always you can always go bold real quick if you wanted to.

• 13:02Speaker 03

  It it would probably feel so itchy.

• 13:04Speaker 05

  I don't know. I don't know how I'd handle it.

• 13:06Speaker 06

  All right, I'll be quick about my small talk if if it's all right. So movie theaters have been crazy. Uh, we I did a stream just a couple of days ago from recording this.

• 13:16Speaker 05

  What's happening at them?

• 13:17Speaker 06

  Oh, man, I run long. Uh, it's a it's really, it's really funny because for a while there, the theaters started thinking that there was some kind of a bot campaign.

• 13:26Speaker 03

  I saw that.

• 13:27Speaker 06

  Yeah, it was like weirdly because there was some copy and pasted templates. But I had, I actually was on a call this morning talking about that and being like, no, it's not that. I have a lot of fans that aren't used to emailing people. And so they ask other people that have emailed and they're like, I said this. And they're like, oh, thank God. Copy, paste.

• 13:49Speaker 06

  And they won't change out the your city. Really looks bad.

• 13:54Speaker 06

  And it's, it's, it's one of those things where it's like, I really appreciate the effort. But, and I totally get how this looks like it because not many people in the real world has ever experienced like with an online audience that's actually actively engaging in doing something in the real world. But also it's really cool for my fans to be able to see, wow, the things that I do have a tangible result on the real world. I asked for this movie and now my local movie theater is showing this movie. That's really cool. That being said, shout out to Amy for making the website.

• 14:26Speaker 03

  Hey.

• 14:27Speaker 06

  She, she literally built the entire website. It's, it's working. It's beautiful. The map, if you go there, it's just my face on there. She did that. She made the blood, the ocean blood red. Very cool stuff. We're up to, as of this recording, 461 theaters. By the time it comes out, it will be more. And I'm just really, really excited about this actually getting out to people. And I think that people need to understand, like I said on my live stream, it's just us. There is no distributor. There's a great misconception about how these things work. But I get it because that's how it's always worked for most every other movie. But we did not expect this to go beyond like the 50 to 100 theaters that we had. So even all the theaters that were like, I can't email Mark.

• 15:12Speaker 06

  It's like, he doesn't want this movie out there. That's not what it is at all.

• 15:18Speaker 06

  We tried to ask you before, you said no.

• 15:21Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 15:22Speaker 06

  Anyway, they're on the website. Ironlung.com is the contact information to get the booking inquiries. So I just want to say that. Done. Oh, actually not done. Man, people are tearing apart my render farm on, on like the subreddit. Home Lab, people are really not.

• 15:40Speaker 06

  And I shared the picture because I know it's bad, guys.

• 15:43Speaker 05

  Oh, wait, that was real? That was a real picture?

• 15:45Speaker 03

  Oh, yeah. Yeah.

• 15:48Speaker 06

  Uh, no, that's it. It's just like, look, guys, it was a, I, I learned as I went. It's not pretty, but fuck, it works. Look, guys, it works. Yeah, that shit fucking flies. And people need to understand, it's not just for like rendering video or encoding video. That's not what it's for. It's not even just for rendering the CG scenes, which can do very well. It's purpose built for distributed simulations. Simulations need a lot of compute power and to do it efficiently, this is the best way that I've gotten so far to do it. It's not the best way ever. It's the best way I could manage myself. And let me tell you, all those people out there, they were like, why didn't he hire a professional to do this? I tried. They came in and I said, yeah, I want to put a server in my bathroom.

• 16:31Speaker 06

  And then they go, fuck you. And they leave. They don't do it. They don't do it. So, yeah, that's it. Anyway.

• 16:39Speaker 03

  Yeah, I knew, I mean, I had gotten through your stories of all your exploits. I knew generally like what had gone into it and there had been iterations and that. But the picture was, was more than I expected somehow. Like, like I looked at it and part of my brain was like, exactly. But also a part of my brain was like, whoa, uh, I think he undersold that a little bit.

• 17:02Speaker 05

  Yeah, you stole the set of Home Alone 2 for your vacuum cleaner there.

• 17:06Speaker 06

  I, I really did. And people seem to misunderstand that the second picture on Home Lab was the before picture. And the first picture was me cleaned up. So all the, the floor air conditioners was just, look, I know it's not great. It's a bathroom. I did the best I could.

• 17:25Speaker 06

  You think the HVAC guy didn't give me some raised eyebrows when I said, like, yeah, I want two.

• 17:30Speaker 03

  Too many splits in this bathroom?

• 17:38Speaker 03

  Oh, I didn't think about that. That's so good.

• 17:40Speaker 06

  But he did it, you know, he did it.

• 17:42Speaker 05

  How many outlets could I put in my bathroom?

• 17:45Speaker 06

  Oh, yeah, the power. Yes. So, yeah, there's for everyone to those questions. Yes, there's another. It's actually 180 amps because it's two 90 amp panels and it's, yes, it's all 240 volt or 220, whatever it is. I don't even know, man. I plug things in.

• 18:00Speaker 03

  If it didn't plug in more power.

• 18:03Speaker 06

  But also it's, it's not as reckless as it seems. I do have electrically related fire extinguishers. I do have, I pulled out all the water cooling because fuck that. And so, yeah, it's all working very nicely.

• 18:15Speaker 03

  Ah, lovely.

  I think that might be them knocking on the door and because they're, you know, Uber's really good about getting them right to where you are.

• 19:52Speaker 05

  All right. Well, if you guys are good on the small talk, I can jump into our episode here. I've been writing a lot of points. Keep track of a lot of points. There's already been nine points assigned.

• 20:02Speaker 06

  Holy shit.

• 20:03Speaker 03

  I saw a lot of points. Hopefully Mark gets one at some point.

• 20:05Speaker 06

  Yeah. Oh, huh.

• 20:07Speaker 05

  We'll see. We'll see. I saw Bob's post where he was in the hospital recently for the ear. I had this really bad stomach bug. I did not sleep at all. Not last night, but night before last. Just like the worst intestinal. I was just like miserable. All I could think of was like, this year's kind of been a pretty meh year, at least for me. I don't know if you guys remember, we did a thing a while back or I don't remember what episode it was, but it was like, would you rather take, would you rather lose memories of 2025? Or the money from 2025? And you guys were like, oh, the money. And I was like, let me forget the year. I'll take the money. Forget this year. Don't kind of feel that way. So I figured today, let's go into 2026 with some positivity. What are we looking forward to in 2026?

• 20:51Speaker 05

  Years are kind of an arbitrary thing. Like, you know, a new year really just means it's another day, the sun rises, so on and so forth. But like for us and calendars and everything else, years, people look forward to it. I want to exercise more. I'm gonna do this more. You know, they've got their new year's resolutions. So what are you looking forward to in 2026? I just want to go in with some positivity. Get people some optimism for 2026.

• 21:14Speaker 06

  I think you guys know what I'll say straight off the bat, and it's not that the movie is coming out. It's that the movie's done. I don't have to think about it anymore. So I don't have to work on it anymore. I don't have to keep making my entire life revolve around it anymore. I can put it aside. It is, it will be done and I will be able to shunt it away. So that's what I'm looking forward to very much.

• 21:38Speaker 05

  I'm looking forward to it coming out.

• 21:39Speaker 03

  I can't imagine the kind of shift that's gonna be. I would say the only thing I feel like the comparison that I've done is like, like law school was an endeavor for me, right? Like that dominated everything. It's very difficult. Law school is a hard thing. When I finished law school and went from having that on my mind dominating my existence to being At least relatively, I can't imagine what it's gonna be like for you with the movie because it's not even like law school is one thing and I was responsible for a lot of it. But it's still at school. I had professors. I had classmates who was it was the movie was just like, if you didn't do it, it wasn't happening.

• 22:16Speaker 03

  No one was there to help you know, like it's not even like you fail a class if you don't do it. It's just like, well, I guess there just is no movie progress because Mark didn't think about it for five minutes today. And he did something else.

• 22:29Speaker 06

  That is a reality. And I mean, you guys know, I mean, you guys have made accommodations for it. And a lot of people don't realize how much these guys have put their schedules to the left and right to me being like, I gotta sprint this week. One more sprint, guys.

• 22:42Speaker 05

  I hope it was this year or last year where like you, we had to move stuff around a lot. And I was just like, I'm just gonna do everything I can to keep Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, no commitment. Not in the day, not in the evening. That was.

• 22:56Speaker 06

  And I truly genuinely appreciate it, guys. I do. I can't say it enough how much you guys have been patient with it. I know like it's been all over the place, but you guys have been very supportive. And I know I haven't always been the nicest about it, but I really truly appreciate it. Like honestly, it means a lot to be able to count on you guys.

• 23:13Speaker 05

  I think from my perspective, one, we get it like we don't, because we don't know what you go through on a daily basis. So it's hard to really fully know what all you're dealing with. But over the years, we went from Fall of Slenderman, where we went to like Party City and bought the shittiest, like three props we could afford to make that. And then I put on your suit. To you guys did, um, Who Killed Mark? And we saw you editing that while we were on the tour. And then we got to be a part of, um, Heist and In Space and seeing the sets and seeing all the cool shit, the costume department, makeup department, just all the stuff that went into that. So it was like, we've kind of seen an escalation of all the cool shit you've done over the years and how much goes into each of those things.

• 23:53Speaker 05

  And then on top of that, for the movie, at least I can't speak for Bob, but from my perspective, like hearing you talk about it and then just knowing how rigid certain industries can be. And hearing and knowing how hard it is, like when you're a YouTuber and you're known as being a YouTuber, it is to break into any kind of industry. So one, just trying to get. Anyone to talk to you, two, coming up with a script, writing, directing, acting, filming, finding people that'll, you know, do other voices or roles, things like that. And then that seemed like the easy part compared to everything you've dealt with over the last year. So from my perspective, it's like, sure, there are days where it's like, well, it took six months to get that dermatology appointment, but my skin will still be there in a year, right? I can move that. But it's like, that's a relatively minor inconvenience compared to like, what's at

• 24:38Speaker 05

  stake for you trying to get this stuff done. So sure, it's been tough and whatnot, but even whenever we first agreed to start the podcast, I was like, the podcast will never be the problem. It's Mark has so much shit going on in his life, keeping either his schedule free enough to do it, or moving my schedule around. That was always going to be the challenge because you've just, you've got so much crazy stuff going on all the time. So for me, it was kind of like, I didn't expect the movie necessarily, but kind of expected that we would have to move stuff around because one, we've all got lives, Bob's got a child and I am the child in this house. So we would have to be adaptable to some degree.

• 25:11Speaker 06

  But still, I appreciate it. It's not a given and I never want it to seem like a given. I'll tell you what funny is about that dermatology appointment. Brad, the sound guy, he, on the last time he was here in November, and we were mixing Warner Brothers, he went on a weekend trip out to Joshua Tree to go climbing because he's a big climber, tore his ACL, like tore it up. Apparently didn't know at the time, but he comes back from the weekend trip and I feel so bad because you know, that's when Henry passed. So we come in and I'm coming in just like, oh man, it's not okay. And he's there just mixing sound like just in agony, just like, it's like, I'm sorry about your dog, man. He was so nice about it. I didn't even know about his hurt leg for a

• 25:56Speaker 06

  while. It's just like, and he was talking about like, um, uh, cause, cause there's just some final things to wrap up for the movie before it gets fully pushed as of this recording, not as of when it comes out or when the movie comes up. But, um, so, so he's like, I can push, I can push my ACL surgery down a bit.

• 26:17Speaker 05

  Doctors everywhere are losing business because of Mark's movie.

• 26:20Speaker 06

  I think it's really funny, but I really stressed to him like you do not have to. It's okay. He's like, no, I gotta finish this. That is also not how Brad talks at all. I'm doing a terrible Brad impression, but yeah.

• 26:32Speaker 05

  No, it's like Brad's in the room right now. Yeah, I think if I didn't deal with that, I don't know that I well, I got the slap tear, but that that's optional surgery. ACL is pretty, you need to have that surgery.

• 26:42Speaker 06

  I think it's supposed to be timely, isn't it?

• 26:45Speaker 05

  At least in sports, the only, the only time I've heard or dealt with ACL stuff is sport related. And then, yeah, because you want to bounce back, recover and be able to like have your full mobility and stuff. So I think it's better to be timely.

• 26:56Speaker 03

  I'm truly fine.

• 26:57Speaker 05

  So yeah, iron lung done. Uh, Bob, I hope in the few seconds you've had to prepare and and answer, you got one.

• 27:06Speaker 03

  It feels like a cop out, I guess, but I'm, I'm excited for more James. I feel like, I mean, he's, we have fun. He's been fun. It's not like he's been unfun up to this point, but it's been tough. We moved from California back to Ohio and then we just moved again and like he's handled it like a trooper. But it just throws off all your routines and it makes it really hard to like, really get in and do all the fun stuff. Cause there's no time for shit. It's like, it gets to be evening time and, uh, and we're like, okay, buddy. Let's do something fun. You want to bring boxes back and forth between houses? You can hold the door open. Uh, you know, be a little helper.

• 27:46Speaker 06

  Be a little doorstop.

• 27:47Speaker 03

  Hey, he likes it, but like, I'm excited for another year, like a new year where he's going to be older. He's talking a ton and we're like, we're going to start doing stuff, I think together this year. That's a little more complicated and fun. And I'm, I'm also, I think personally, I'm excited to, uh, put more tools on things. I got to do a good stretch there when I had the Subaru where I was like working on the car and I was doing stuff with my hands. And that was really fun. And then I got rid of the Subaru and I lost that completely. I want to get back to like, I'm excited to work on stuff. And one of the things on this new house that was such a big selling point for me is I have a huge garage. And I have like a work, a dedicated like workshop area. It's just a little side part of the.

• 28:30Speaker 03

  Garage, but I have like a workbench and a toolbox and I can like have projects where I don't have to pull the cars out of the garage to work on them and then clean it back up and pull the cars back into the garage. Every time I'm, it's like I have an area. I can just have a little project. If I have a glue up, it can just sit somewhere and dry and clamps and I don't have to like, I'm excited. And James is getting to the age where he's going to be able to help me do that. Maybe we'll build a birdhouse or, you know, who knows what, but like.

• 28:56Speaker 06

  That's awesome.

• 28:57Speaker 03

  That sort of stuff. It's been a lot of moving and not that I don't like my computer because I still play a lot of video games. I spend too much time sitting at this thing. I need to spend more time like making stuff, working on things.

• 29:10Speaker 05

  Yeah. You'll play Arc Raiders later?

• 29:12Speaker 03

  I mean, I do.

• 29:13Speaker 05

  Hell yeah.

• 29:14Speaker 03

  I haven't really played very much that.

• 29:16Speaker 05

  Yeah, we should get away from the computer, but like if you want to play.

• 29:18Speaker 03

  I'm also excited for video game. I'm still really into that. I think I told you guys about the hockey game. Getting really into that. I have custom, I have a fully custom keybind set for that now. Getting into it, man. Practicing. I'm a mediocre goaltender, but I used to be a hopelessly awful goaltender.

• 29:37Speaker 05

  Mediocre is improvement.

• 29:38Speaker 03

  It's way better than I was. I just still stink. Uh, but.

• 29:42Speaker 05

  Would you say mediocre is less than average or right about average?

• 29:45Speaker 03

  Mediocre falls just under average for me, I think.

• 29:48Speaker 06

  Yeah. Mediocre has like a negative connotation to it.

• 29:51Speaker 03

  It's like you might be average, but like everyone sees you as worse than average or you're a little, like you come in just a little low.

• 29:59Speaker 05

  Well, hey, maybe in 2026, you'll be average or better.

• 30:02Speaker 03

  All right. If I keep working on it, I should spend more time on my computer. Like I was saying.

• 30:07Speaker 05

  Yes.

• 30:08Speaker 06

  I'm actually looking forward to spending more time on my computer, doing YouTube videos and just generally being back to.

• 30:13Speaker 05

  How many videos do you think you've released in the last year?

• 30:16Speaker 06

  Dude, I, not enough. Uh, I'm, I'm stunned that people are still sticking around. Like I, I know that people have been very kind and patient. They understand what I'm doing. But I feel like I've, I've really pushed the limit of how patient an audience can be. I'm just so grateful that I've accrued any kind of loyalty through any of this to try to wait for me to be done with this. But I, I truly not for the sake of like, oh, I gotta keep up with being. I find it very cathartic to make videos. I find it extremely the habit of it, the ritual of it, the, the completion. When you're done with a video and it's out, it's just like the, the cycle is a beautiful, fun thing for me. And it's, it's very low pressure at this point because I've

• 30:58Speaker 06

  never been the type that was like, I have to make this banger viral video. Thankfully in my, my niche of YouTube, I don't have to do that. Um, I've however channeled all that into the movie, but I just, I want to be able to just play video games, make random bullshit videos. I've got that Warf stash, uh, sequel that I've wanted to do forever. I've got tons of things that I've just had stupid ideas for. Yeah, I can't wait. Oh, it's gonna be so fun.

• 31:19Speaker 03

  Not to focus too much on the movie, but it just struck me. How do you think it compares? The, this is obviously longer, but the movie and how that impacted your YouTube versus Unis Anis. Cause when you guys were doing that, that was very consuming as well in its own sort of way. And that was also during the pandemic and a bunch of crazy like, that was a crazy timeline that that happened. But like, how, how do you compare those? Cause I know that Unis Anis put a dent in your personal YouTube stuff as well.

• 31:48Speaker 06

  I would actually say that was not so much a dent. That actually reinvigorated my YouTube channel because it was still content that I was making and there was a direct correlation YouTube wise to be like, if it wasn't on my channel, people would check, you know, when it's honest for that content. So they got that fix out of it. There were some people that were like, I wish you would play more games, but I was honestly doing more videos on my main channel than I am now with the movie and that. Uh, so it's, it's, uh, honestly, that was probably way better time for it.

• 32:16Speaker 03

  Well, now you can do Tunis on us. And I've been waiting on that.

• 32:19Speaker 05

  Yay.

• 32:21Speaker 06

  I'm shocked. We did the fucking five year stream. Like, I don't know how, that was all Amy and Ethan pulling that together. Like, my God, I can't believe we did that. Yeah, that's just like in playing games with you guys. Oh, man, just.

• 32:33Speaker 05

  We'll get back to it. We'll get there.

• 32:36Speaker 05

  I'm getting off topic. You never get to a point where we'll be kind of like, oh, video games. I thought I'd be there by now and I was kind of there in college a little bit, but I've bounced back to the point where I'm like, I'm just always looking forward to or playing or enjoying so many games.

• 32:48Speaker 03

  I think the thing for me is it's if I stayed stuck on what I, I used to just play the same game. Like there was a period where for like a couple of years where basically all I played was PUBG. And then if other people invited me to play other stuff, I would do that. And I was like obsessed. I could just log on and play the same game day after day after day. And that was like what I looked forward to. I can't do that anymore as much. But there's so many, there's such a wide, there are so many different kinds of games. It's such a wide world. You don't just have to go play AAA games and like I play Fortnite. There's nothing wrong with going and playing a big popular game, but also I play indie physics simulation sports games.

• 33:28Speaker 03

  And I play weird racing management games and like, there's just, there's no end to the kind of shit you can find. I don't think I'll get tired of it as long as I just, there's always new stuff as long as I keep it, keep finding new things. Like people are making cool games. There's a lot of cool games.

• 33:46Speaker 05

  People have been on me to go back to blueprints. I think, I think I might do it.

• 33:51Speaker 06

  What's stopping you? I thought you loved that game.

• 33:53Speaker 03

  He wouldn't shut up about it.

• 33:55Speaker 05

  Okay. It's a bit, I, I thought I finished the game. I got to an ending and I was like, okay, I guess it's done. Like it just, it goes from like solve, solve, solve, figure it all out to like what I thought was like, okay. I don't know if that's the ending I was hoping for, but it was an ending. I did it. And then apparently there was another thing I unlocked. It's, I guess you guys probably don't care about spoilers at this point. Spoiler alert. You spend a lot of money and you unlock this upgrade that allows you to find hints on row eight. So you have to build all the way up to row eight. And if you put blue rooms on that row, there's hidden hints in those rooms. There's like 40 blue rooms. So in order to move on to the next point, what I have to do is work my way up to row eight

• 34:36Speaker 05

  and spawn each of these 40 rooms, find the hint and then figure out which ones are important, which ones mean nothing. And that will apparently lead me into whatever the. Next puzzle is, and I'm not gonna lie, when I thought I was done and then I learned that that's the tedious thing I have to do next, I was kinda like, maybe I am done, you know, I feel pretty good, good ending, happy, don't know if that's, that's a hell of a grind. Cause it's not like the hints are obvious to find in the rooms either, and some of the rooms that really wanna spawn early, so it's hard to save them till late. So I was really wasn't looking forward to that amount of grind for what I don't imagine will be that big of a payoff, but enough people have asked where it's now like, I miss blueprints, they want it, maybe I'll give it a shot.

• 35:17Speaker 06

  I have no idea what you were even talking about half of that. If row eight, I think I generally understand, but then the blue rooms.

• 35:22Speaker 05

  So you build up, right? You start on row one, two, three.

• 35:25Speaker 06

  Yeah, I get that.

• 35:25Speaker 05

  All the way up to where.

• 35:26Speaker 06

  Rooms and checking them and I don't know, I didn't make it past row three, so I don't think there actually is any more mansion.

• 35:32Speaker 05

  Okay, different rooms have different colors, so like bedrooms are red, bedrooms are purple, garden rooms are green. Your standard, like your, the, the standard rooms are blue, so.

• 35:44Speaker 06

  Okay, I see.

• 35:45Speaker 05

  Blue rooms are like the den, the, whatever that little corner room is called, it's been so long since I played, I'm gonna look so bad when I go back.

• 35:53Speaker 03

  The parlor?

• 35:55Speaker 05

  Parlor, probably, that's one, yeah, I think so.

• 35:57Speaker 03

  So is this like a chess simulator? I literally have not ever watched this game for even a moment. I have no idea what you're talking about.

• 36:04Speaker 05

  It's my game, I, I know this comes out after game awards, but it's, it's my game of the year. I didn't play Claire Obscure Expedition 33, and I'm sure that one will probably win, so I hear only great things. But blueprints, like, it was such a unique, interesting experience for me. It's, it's my game of the decade so far.

• 36:18Speaker 06

  Game of the decade, damn.

• 36:20Speaker 03

  We're only halfway through, man, dang.

• 36:22Speaker 05

  I said so far, but, but I mean, it, truly, one of the best experiences I've had making YouTube videos was playing blueprints. Twenty twenty six, I'm looking forward to maybe, maybe giving people what they want with that, and the five people still holding out hope are gonna be like, yes, GTA six supposed to come out next year.

• 36:38Speaker 06

  Yeah, right.

• 36:39Speaker 05

  I know. I think it's just gonna be GTA V is gonna release on the Soulja console or something. Did you guys ever go to La Comedia in Cincinnati? Like a dinner theater? I think Milford Schools took us on like a trip there once for like a Christmas thing or something like a play. But basically it's like a dinner theater. You go and you watch a play and.

• 36:57Speaker 06

  Someone's talked about this. I think maybe one of Amy's friends.

• 37:00Speaker 05

  Okay, I've also mentioned it because I I would like go in there. I'm hope I I booked tickets to go see a show there next year, so I'm excited to go back there because I've been in a while. And they have like, of all things, cod and like chicken, ham. I'm looking forward to the meal, the show as well. The shows are always great, but.

• 37:14Speaker 06

  Oh, God, I thought it was Call of Duty. I was like.

• 37:17Speaker 03

  I thought you meant Call of Duty for a second.

• 37:19Speaker 05

  Oh, yeah, they're playing cod on stage. No, like actual fish. So I got things I'm excited about for next year.

• 37:25Speaker 06

  Yeah, I'm not trying to shoot that down. You should be excited about that.

• 37:28Speaker 05

  Twenty twenty five can suck it. Twenty twenty six can be great. Gonna make it. I'm willing it to be great.

• 37:34Speaker 03

  I appreciate the optimism.

• 37:36Speaker 06

  There's every chance that it won't be great at all, actually.

• 37:39Speaker 03

  It's it's a long odds that it's actually gonna be great, but I appreciate that you're.

• 37:42Speaker 05

  It'll happen, you know, shit always happens, but like overall, I'm gonna get to the end of twenty twenty six, be like, this is a year, good year.

• 37:48Speaker 06

  Hmm.

• 37:48Speaker 05

  I'm willing it. Maybe? Been rambling a lot. Is there anything else you guys want to throw in there? I guess I can.

• 37:55Speaker 06

  Yeah, who's turn is it?

• 37:56Speaker 05

  You.

• 37:57Speaker 06

  Oh, I'm looking forward to learning Korean again and working out both of these things. So of the good habits that I had before I started filming Iron Lung, I was working out like I, you know, I, I, I, I was in some like probably uh, the longest arc of good shape I've been in in my life, right? Because it was since I posed to and it's honest, I had been working out constantly, like almost every week I had worked out um, with a few breaks in between, but it was like enough to maintain my ability. Like I, I, I could bench two plates, which I know is not a lot for a lot of people, but it's like I was benching two plates.

• 38:32Speaker 03

  For a little guy like you, that's a lot.

• 38:34Speaker 06

  Okay, all right.

• 38:35Speaker 03

  I didn't mean short. I meant scrawny.

• 38:38Speaker 06

  I was inclined benching two plates.

• 38:40Speaker 03

  Oh, shit. Okay, well, that's harder. Yeah, okay.

• 38:42Speaker 05

  Thanksgiving, I cleared three.

• 38:44Speaker 06

  First, I don't know if this is true. A lot of people that work out, I was told that bench press actually is a very bad exercise for you. And if you were wanting to do any actual real work, you had to do inclined bench, because that's more practical and more, I don't know. But anyway, so we did inclined bench instead of just regular bench all the time. And so that's just what we did. But I was in good shape. Now, nothing. It's all gone. It's like, by only the grace of just the fact that I naturally carry more muscles, I have the illusion that I'm in shape. I went up a flight of stairs. I had to lay down. I was just so tired at the end of it. I can't exaggerate. I have so, like, I have a hill, and I go climb it to go get a package. I am done. I'm done for the day.

• 39:30Speaker 05

  Climbing up that hill, eh?

• 39:32Speaker 06

  It's just awful. So, yeah.

• 39:35Speaker 05

  Hey, we are getting older, man. I feel. I'm glad you're finally catching up to me.

• 39:38Speaker 06

  That's, that's the thing, though, is like, I am getting older. So it's like, I have to keep up with it now, or I'm never gonna get anything again.

• 39:44Speaker 05

  That's the spirit. I want to pick up jump roping of all things. I heard jump roping can be really good.

• 39:49Speaker 03

  That's supposed to be so good for you.

• 39:51Speaker 05

  If you jump the right way and don't like, destroy your ankles and knees, like, there's a proper way to kind of do it. I've also, I don't know how good this one is, probably not great for you. But I've heard another one that's decently good is, and quick, is you sprint, like, 90% of your top speed, you sprint for like, 10 to 15 seconds, walk for like, a minute, minute and a half, sprint for 10, 15 seconds, walk for nine, like, you do that like, four or five times. It'd be incredibly difficult. That's actually a long time to try to run top speed and then multiple sets, but like, I hear that one's actually pretty good for you, too.

• 40:23Speaker 06

  Sprint training is very good for you, but also, it's one of those things like, yeah, you can make it so efficient, you'll get your workout done in no time. And then you do one sprint, and I'm like, I'm never, ever, ever sprinting again, ever.

• 40:34Speaker 05

  We have a weird Thanksgiving, I know Thanksgiving was a while ago now, but we have a weird Thanksgiving tradition blooming, where my nephews want to race me. Like, they want to do like, 100 meter type dash.

• 40:44Speaker 03

  Sure.

• 40:45Speaker 05

  And I've won two years in a row. And they're, they go to the gym every day, they work out, they're not as tall as me, they're not like, mark size, they're, they're human sized people, so they really run.

• 40:59Speaker 05

  I can't believe I'm still winning because there's just so much younger and healthier and stuff than me, but I still out sprint them. But the difference is I win the sprint and they're like, ah, good one, Uncle Wade, we'll get you next year. And I'm like five minutes of

• 41:14Speaker 05

  yeah,

• 41:17Speaker 05

  still got it.

• 41:19Speaker 05

  And like 10 minutes later, I'm like, all right, I'm okay. And they forgot we even ran because it was so long ago and I've still been out of breath. So still got the top speed, no endurance whatsoever.

• 41:30Speaker 06

  Good for you. I'm still reeling over human sized people.

• 41:38Speaker 06

  What am I then?

• 41:39Speaker 05

  Fun size.

• 41:41Speaker 06

  Okay, well, that sounds, that's okay. I can deal with that.

• 41:45Speaker 06

  Human sized people.

• 41:47Speaker 05

  Bob, optimism.

• 41:49Speaker 03

  Oh, you know what happens next year? This is actually planned. It's, it's kind of a work trip, but not completely a work trip. And me, what, what's ultimately going to happen is we're going to get to take James to Disney. He's a little young and a little small, but he should be tall enough to be able to ride some of the like kids rides. And we're going to be able to do, I think, one or two days in the Disney parks in Florida. So that's going to be pretty fun. And also Mandy has never been to Disney in Florida either, Disney World. She's done Disneyland out in California, but I'm kind of looking forward to that. I need to like, get in shape for that. You guys were just sorry about this, but

• 42:29Speaker 03

  walking, walking around slash hurting James around a theme park sounds exhausting just thinking about it. And so that'll be fun, but I'm hoping he likes the rides. I'm pretty, I'm think there's a decent chance we're going to get on basically any ride we get on, we're going to sit down and he's going to be like, ooh, and then it's going to start moving or it's going to, this is going to be like a dark room and he's just going to be terrified and it's going to be like, it's okay, it's okay. Stop screaming. There's only five minutes left. It's okay. I'm, we'll find something. We'll find his ride.

• 42:58Speaker 06

  There are some of those dark rides, like we went to Universal with my family. I've never been there, but they got the Harry Potter one and, and that one is just like, I don't do drugs, but if I did, I would say, don't do drugs. And go on that because the most it is the whiplash you get from what's happening like you're in a cave. You're out of cave and there's an explosion for some reason. I think a cruise tomahawk missile goes by at some point. Like then you're you crash through the window of Hogwarts. Harry Potter goes.

• 43:26Speaker 06

  And then he said, I didn't know what he said. A snitch goes by.

• 43:29Speaker 05

  I love when he said that in the movies.

• 43:31Speaker 06

  Yeah, it's it's just the most absurd thing. There's so much that they cram in because universally in Hollywood or LA is much smaller than the one in Florida. So I think the Florida one is a normal experience and this one is the condensed tiny experience. But yeah, those ones would terrify a child, I imagine.

• 43:49Speaker 05

  If you go down there, dude, I think it's the place is called like S A N A A Sana Sana.

• 43:55Speaker 03

  Sana?

• 43:56Speaker 05

  No, no, it is the animal kingdom. It was like some of the best butter chicken I ever had in my life. They had like, uh, they had all kinds of flavored like non bread and stuff. It was so good.

• 44:05Speaker 03

  Is this in the park?

• 44:07Speaker 05

  No, it's actually at the animal kingdom lodge, I think. But if I was going down there, I would go out of my way for it. It was really good. Also underrated animal, the animal kingdom was the best park we went to because it was like no wait and they had a roller coaster. They had like the safari thing and like you could go see all the animals while you're on the safari. There was a lot of cool stuff.

• 44:23Speaker 03

  I'm constantly surprised at how overlooked the animal kingdom gets. I think it's the best park or at the very least, one of the top parks at the in the whole place. It's fantastic. It's very fun, but there's never like I've heard a couple of other times. There's never been lines. It's always like not as busy as the other ones. It's crazy.

• 44:39Speaker 05

  Three hours for like the two minute Star Wars ride or ride that Yeti roller coaster on repeat because there's three people on in line for it. I had to look up the place. What is the name of that place that had the butter chicken? Because I've been craving it for six years or whatever it's been. I want it so bad. That's cool, though. I'm going to Disney. James is going to be how old when you guys are there?

• 44:58Speaker 03

  He turns three tomorrow as of this recording.

• 45:03Speaker 05

  I don't know how much he'll remember eventually, but hopefully at least he enjoys it right now. I went when I was like five and I didn't remember a whole lot.

• 45:09Speaker 03

  We're definitely still, we're at the point right now where we're like, is he gonna remember this? Or should we, is this a waste of effort? But like for his birthday, right? We're like, he's probably not gonna remember this, but we still wanna like, it could be special for us and for pictures and stuff, but.

• 45:25Speaker 05

  Really annoying for you guys, but something I really appreciate whenever I went to Disney whenever I was a kid. My aunt came with my grandparents, my dad and stuff, and she filmed. I don't, I don't know if you're still allowed to, but she filmed like everything, just always had like a camcorder out and filmed the different experiences. So like, I got to see myself react to like seeing the different mascots and meeting like Goofy and things like that.

• 45:45Speaker 03

  I mean, that's so much more doable now than it used to be. I'm sure that was the unbelievable pain in the ass back when you were a kid, but yeah.

• 45:52Speaker 05

  She had the whole giant like VHS shoulder mounted camera. Yeah, it was a whole giant pain in the ass for her, but I really appreciated later in life getting to see that video and getting to watch that experience. So anyway, my two cents for whatever it's worth.

• 47:09Speaker 05

  All right, any last minutes before I wrap up? I keep rambling, keep going off topic, but that's okay. Nope. All right, that's it. 2026 will be a great year. All of you guys out there, we great year. Will it into existence?

• 47:22Speaker 06

  I think that's how it works. Yeah.

• 47:24Speaker 05

  Uh, let me go over points, uh, in no particular order. I gave Molly a point for dealing with me because I gave Mandy a point for being locked in a room and dealing with Bob not answering his phone. I gave Amy a point for being locked out by Mark and another point for making the iron lung website. Bob, you got points for locking Mandy in a room, your ear, uh, looking forward to James, garage projects. I can't read what this one says. Uh, and I'll figure out what that one says in a minute. Disney, uh, bringing you to a total of six points. Mark, you got points for locking out Amy. Render Farm shame. Iron Lung is done.

• 48:02Speaker 05

  Iron Lung in theaters everywhere, because it will be everywhere. Uh, learning Korean again, appreciating Bob and I accommodating your schedule.

• 48:12Speaker 03

  Oh, we're still reading Mark's points. Okay, that's not good for me.

• 48:15Speaker 06

  Yeah, I'm, I'm crushing it.

• 48:17Speaker 05

  Close than you'd think.

• 48:19Speaker 03

  Oh, good.

• 48:20Speaker 05

  I once again can't read that point. It looks like mutt and then working out again. Uh, right now, the score is Mark with eight, Ob with six, Amy with two, Mandy with one, Molly with one.

• 48:34Speaker 06

  Oh, I see. The point, the nine points distributed at the beginning, four of those were to the significant others.

• 48:40Speaker 05

  They put up with a lot.

• 48:41Speaker 03

  Well, shall I spin the wheel?

• 48:43Speaker 06

  No.

• 48:44Speaker 03

  Oh, okay. Then that's the episode. Play the theme song, roll the credits. How many points will it be?

• 48:53Speaker 06

  I, if I was a betting man, I'd bet on three.

• 48:56Speaker 05

  Nope.

• 48:57Speaker 03

  Well, I lost my bet. It's two.

• 48:59Speaker 05

  Um, let's add put SO through the most, which I don't know which one of you two put your SO through the most recently. I guess technically it would be, you'd be the most recent because the Amy story was from a while ago, right?

• 49:10Speaker 06

  Yeah, that was a while ago. Yeah.

• 49:12Speaker 03

  All right, two spins coming in hot.

• 49:16Speaker 03

  Let's be prepared to land something on the wheel that we don't even remember exists. Most locked in.

• 49:23Speaker 06

  Definitely not me. Is this the one where we have to share how many tabs we have?

• 49:28Speaker 03

  Yes. Uh, do you have tabs open, Mark?

• 49:32Speaker 06

  Uh, one, two, three, four, five, six.

• 49:36Speaker 03

  Bob gets a point.

• 49:39Speaker 06

  13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21. And I had just before we started counting, I had done a Ctrl W spam of like, closing a bunch of tabs.

• 49:52Speaker 03

  I will say, all I have open is our call and an empty Google tab, because I hadn't really used it for much. But I, I did send a couple texts over the course of the episode, responded to people, because I made a post on Twitter about how I was in the hospital and then didn't tell any family or friends, anything. And so, a bunch of people are like, hey, are you alive? Are you, is that cool?

• 50:17Speaker 06

  Yeah, I saw late last night that you were in the hospital, because people were like, oh, man, Wade and Bob going through it. Because I can't, I didn't stream last night because of the stomach bug. And they're like, Wade and Bob going through, it's like, what's Bob going through? Then I see your post at a hospital, I was like, what the hell?

• 50:30Speaker 03

  It's fine. I'm fine. It's fine.

• 50:32Speaker 06

  It's like, man, I wish I was that good of a Mark friend, where I'd go to the hospital to promote his movie.

• 50:36Speaker 03

  Actually, I meant to tell this during the small talk. I had the funniest eavesdropping last night in the hospital, or not last night, night before. But fuck, there was, there was this dude who walked in with his, he was clearly a college guy and two buddies, and his hand was all wrapped up and bloody, and he walked into the ER. And they got him into a room, like down the hall, whatever, but the door was open. And the doctor went in and was looking at it. And like, you couldn't really hear, but you could kind of hear like, oh, no, no, can you move it like this? Good. And the guy's like, ah, no. And then the doctor's like, hmm, okay, okay. And it was a knife? Hmm, okay. Uh, did you stab, or was it more of a slice? Hmm, okay, okay. I don't know what those guys did. They were having a hell of

• 51:19Speaker 03

  a night. One of them, or all of them, was probably drunk. It was just really funny, like, I wasn't trying to overhear, but clearly, some crazy shit had happened. I hope that guy's hand is okay.

• 51:32Speaker 06

  Do people watching and listening can be OP sometimes.

• 51:35Speaker 03

  Let's get a tie. Let's get Wade.

• 51:40Speaker 03

  Oh, did either of us lose any points?

• 51:43Speaker 05

  No, no lost points. That's a respin.

• 51:46Speaker 03

  That's a respin. Uh, spin number three of two.

• 51:52Speaker 05

  Three of two.

• 51:53Speaker 03

  Fastest response?

• 51:55Speaker 06

  Uh, me, I'm responding. What was it? What was it?

• 51:58Speaker 03

  If that's a test, he does have me on that one. That was very fast. I don't know if that really came up otherwise in this episode. So I kind of feel like Mark just absolutely jumped all over that one.

• 52:08Speaker 06

  Uh, totally did. Yes, thank you.

• 52:11Speaker 05

  You know what? I'll give it to Mark because it prevents me from having a tie. Yay. Well done.

• 52:17Speaker 06

  Thank you.

• 52:18Speaker 05

  And it's not because I don't want to host a one man show, but it's definitely because of that.

• 52:22Speaker 03

  It would be a great one man show. You'd be fine.

• 52:24Speaker 05

  Guys, you're so sweet, but no, it's okay. Congratulations, Mark. Uh, you were the fastest response. So with nine points, you want to give a winner's speech?

• 52:33Speaker 06

  Yes, I do. Hey, I want to give a shout out to you at home for being such loyal listeners and/or viewers of this show. We've been going about six years strong, something like that, six years, if you count three peens.

• 52:49Speaker 05

  Oh, if you count three peens, yeah.

• 52:50Speaker 06

  Yeah, we've been going six years strong doing this, uh, and it's gotten only funnier, never less funny. Each episode better than the last, never a stinker, not here, not with the guy that forgets the rules sometimes of his own games. That would never happen. But hey, you've stuck through every good episode and somehow survived the unending laughter we've provided to you. Kudos to you.

• 53:15Speaker 05

  It is funny how, uh, the rules are the most arbitrary thing that we just came up with on a random episode or two. People get real into like, wait, and Bob have that fucking handshake deal they've had for eight months and they haven't redeemed it. And Mark owes Bob a point from 2024 that he hasn't redeemed. It's like, y'all, I don't know that we'll ever take it seriously enough to remember that.

• 53:38Speaker 06

  Is there a handshake to that? I can never forget.

• 53:40Speaker 05

  No, no, no, there's not. Bob, loser's speech.

• 53:43Speaker 03

  I feel pretty good, considering that I I'm down an ear and I'm sort of zoided out right now. I feel like I did pretty well. I hung in there, you know, I put up a fight. I contributed. It's weird hearing everything only in my. Do you guys have a dominant ear? Not to get back into a top. Do you have a dominant ear?

• 54:02Speaker 05

  I definitely have a dominant eye. I've never noticed if I have a dominant ear.

• 54:05Speaker 03

  I feel like my left ear is my good ear. Like I hear I hear in stereo, but I feel like my left ear is my good ear. And that's the one that's all screwed up and I can't hear out of right now. It's so weird for me to hear out of like my secondary ear, everything. It's all fucking. Anyway. Considering everything, I'm happy with my performance. I feel good. Thanks for having me.

• 54:26Speaker 05

  Well said. I don't know why I said that like that, but I did.

• 54:30Speaker 03

  Were you just trying to make sure I could hear you?

• 54:31Speaker 05

  Yeah, I want to make sure it came in the other ear. Yeah. Well said.

• 54:35Speaker 03

  Thank you.

• 54:36Speaker 05

  You're welcome.

• 54:37Speaker 03

  What?

• 54:38Speaker 05

  You're welcome.

• 54:39Speaker 03

  Fucking. I swear to God, James learned how to whisper in the last 48 hours. And he's been running up to me and whispering into my ear I can't hear out of. So he just comes up and he just goes.

• 54:50Speaker 03

  And then runs away. And I'm like, man, I hope that's not important. All right.

• 54:55Speaker 03

  Have fun, buddy.

• 54:56Speaker 05

  You can play with knives.

• 54:58Speaker 03

  I poked in my pants.

• 55:00Speaker 05

  Good episode, boys. I guess stay tuned for the next one where Bob will host. I'm sorry, Mark will host and Bob and I will compete for points.

• 55:07Speaker 03

  A surprise victory.

• 55:12Speaker 05

  It's a human sized W.

• 55:14Speaker 06

  Oh, come on, man.

• 55:17Speaker 05

  If you haven't already, go follow us on our other social medias and YouTubes and whatnot. Mark at Mark, Bob at Mysker, me at Minion777 or LordMinion777. I guess we'll see what Mark has up his sleeves since he won the next one. And until then, podcast out. Merch? Breathe the merch.
