Good evening, gentle listener, and welcome to Distractible. This episode, Wapping Wade has yet more plumbing problems than encourages Joie de vivre. Missionary Mark prepares a perfect prank. Go!

Yes! It's time for Try New Things.

Now sit back and prepare to be distracted and enjoy the show. Hey everybody, welcome back to another episode of Distractible. I'm today's host, Wade, joined as always by my co-hosts Mark and Bob in the show where one of us hosts, the other two compete for points, and the person with the most points, usually, at the end gets to host the next episode. Usually. I'm not

I'm not ready. It's too late. I'm double ready. I'm not I'll take mark's readiness points. Thank you. Hold on. All right readiness point for bob. Oh god. No Wait, wait, wait. Wait. Oh, I might have to mark a second ready point. How long you need man? Uh So long. Oh, man. I need so long

All right, well, I guess that's the second readiness point. That was not the correct answer, believe it or not. They're going to me, right? Yeah. No, I can give you a negative readiness point. Oh, but that would make me unready. I'm so ready. Are you sure? No, ready. Great. Hold on.

We're holding. I have to make a mission critical purchase. It's mission critical. Oh, he said mission critical. That does mean something. For what? I don't know what. I just know that it means. It's mission critical. Is it food? It's food, isn't it? It's mission critical. Almost. Almost there. Yep. What mission? Hold on to your ass.

I feel like you're R2-D2 and I'm Luke trying to figure out what message you're hiding about Princess Leia. Bam! Done. Wasn't that easy? Already? Man, oh man, am I going to have to say your name first on the points at the end?

oh boy not a great start don't worry you'll be saying my name last i'll be saying my own name last don't you worry uh we'll see if you remember to do that at the end when i'm screaming my own name at the end of this episode you're gonna see you're gonna see we just slowly watch you devolve as the episode goes on mark why but before we get to that point how are you me i'm good the

The both you. I'm good. I am great. Good and great. Great and good. That's so convincing. I'm good. I am good. Are you good or great? Both. Okay. Bob, how are you doing? I'm good. I have a new Apple Watch Band. You want to see it? Good. It's magnetic. Wow.

Look how low profile it is. I thought you meant the way it stuck to your wrist was because it was magnetic and you had a metal wrist. Dude, if I could get an implant where the watch just stuck to my wrist on it, I would consider it. No, I wouldn't do that. Maybe. Metal's good for you. I'd consider it. As much as I have a thing about phone cases, I have a thing about Apple Watch bands. I hate how thick they all are. Watch bands in general are very thick. Yeah. I don't like a thick band. Yeah.

And this is like the most low profile watch band. Like it's just, it's thin.

How thin it is. And floppy. And magnetic. It's lovely. That does look nice. I can't do the Apple Watches anymore because for some reason they cut off some kind of circulation in my wrist and it just ends up hurting after a while. Oh, really? I have yet to be able to get used to it. I mean, I wore it for a long period of time. It took like a month or two to get really used to. But then ever since I lost one for a while and tried to get back into it, I just wasn't able to. I think this is because they're getting too big and I always get the big one.

And I really should just go for a small one. And now they can't even measure your heart anymore. No, they maybe can. I think they fixed that on the new generation. Can they? I don't actually know that for sure. I think they fixed that. I don't know. I don't know. Anyway, that's how good I'm doing.

I can jump right in if you guys have nothing interesting to talk about, though. No, no, no, no. I got stuff. What would you like to know? I guess I'd like to know what stuff you got. You need to ask the right questions. What are the right questions? That's not the right question. I felt like the right question. I figured out what the right questions are. I gotta be honest. Yeah, I thought that was...

Pretty direct. It's really close to the right question, but it's not quite the right question. What am the right questions? How is the right question? You got to ask the question in the form of a question. What's stuck to your right hand? Is that the right question? Nothing. Oh, okay.

What is what are the right questions for 500? It's the Daily Devil. Oh, true Daily Devil. True Daily Devil. Okay, so I've obviously been only focused on entirely movie stuff forever and ever. But in other not movie stuff, I have nothing.

I really wish. You know, every time I start a sentence like that, hoping that my brain conjures up something to answer. Hoping that something will pop it. It doesn't work. I really, I stall and I stall. I'm like, there's got to be something. There's got to be something. There really is nothing. I was making a mission critical purchase just because I was buying something very boring, which is a networking switch. And then it's just like, oh.

Yeah. Ooh. Yeah. Like everyone cares about a switch. Oh yeah. It's got, it's got 24, 10 gigabit ports. So it's really good. Listen, I like technology. And two 25 gigabit aggregating ports. Ooh. Isn't that nice? You know, what's one of my current most fascinating series on YouTube? Linus tech tips. Linus has purchased and is outfitting a badminton center slash golf.

LAN party gaming center. And they have a series where they keep going every once in a while, they'll go back to the badminton center and be like, look, we put in new networking. This is twin fiber optics run up and down the whole court. And look, we got these security camera. It's fascinating. I love a new piece of technology, even if I'm never going to own it. And it means nothing to me. Just as watch someone else be like, Ooh, and that means we can do this now.

You know, what's funny is I actually reached out because I was going to have him help me with some of the networking for my render farm. That was supposed to happen. But then I ran off to Texas and I bet they think that I'm just ignoring them, which happens a lot. Some people are like, why don't you collab with a bunch of other people? It's like sometimes I try and then I get swept up and I've run away and disappear and don't talk to them ever again. But that was supposed to happen. It might still happen. Is it going to be a video? Yeah, yeah.

That would be my favorite collab ever. They were very curious about, you know, the render farm when I was talking about it. And they asked like what I was doing with them, the kind of hardware I was putting in. And when I told them that I had as much power as I did, which was like, it's 12 9684 X's, which if you know what a processor is, it's a very high end processor. And having 12 of them is kind of ridiculous.

And so the networking part of it, though, I don't know that very well. So I was hoping someone could help at least connect them all. So I got to get back to them. I have a funny... They're not going to find it funny. I have a really funny joke. Okay.

I'm going to do when they get here. I can't tell you the context just in case word gets to them, but I got a real funny one. You know me and my funny jokes. Dude, you have the best goofs around. I can only imagine. Oh, yeah. They're good. I could tell them about...

Oh, what was that water that you were so hype about? No, it's Glaubersalts. You can tell them about Glaubersalts? I have mentioned this casually, yes. But that's not the joke. The joke is so funny, it's going to be so funny. What is it? I can't tell you. You're not asking the right questions here, mister. Bob, any conniving schemes you've got going on that we can't talk about? Oh.

Yeah. So sometimes when I'm playing with James, I'll pretend to throw something and then actually I didn't throw it and he hasn't figured out yet that I do that. And so I'll just mess with him and be like, oh, let's throw the ball to you. Whoop. And then he freaks out for a second because he's like, what the fuck?

And I'm pretty sure I convinced him I'm some kind of wizard. I do that with the dog sometimes. So I'm gonna see how long I can keep that going. Lexi's worked that out. Lexi is no longer fooled by that one. I've done it too many times, but James is still figuring it out. So that's pretty conniving, right? That's very conniving. Yeah. Nice, nice, nice. I would tell you all what's going on in my life, but other than more plumbing issues...

i do have more plumbing issues you have new plumbing issues yeah so um we had the backflow thing removed right then they wanted to come like check everything out like okay we're just gonna come out do like an inspection make sure everything's working good and they came out working good they're like well while we're here let's go and just test like we'll do your normal inspection we'll test your faucets and things the guest room shower they went to turn on like the tub faucet thing and

It was pouring out water and they're like, all right, they flip it to the shower. Shower like trickles out some water. The tub part still pouring out. And then behind the tub part, water starts spraying like where it connects to the wall, which is not where it's supposed to be spraying. So we went to replace that and a plumber came back and was like, okay, you guys have the trim thing. I'm like, yep, got it. Is it the right one? Yep. This looks like the right one. Great. Couldn't take long. Went to

went to install it and i guess it comes with like an o-ring that helps seal it and somehow the plumber took this new o-ring and just fucking ripped it in half or something and was like ah well i can't finish installing it because you see this o-ring is damaged i accidentally ripped it whenever i was doing blah blah blah i was like okay he's like don't worry we got tons of these i'll get one be back out tomorrow to fix it they have ghosted me since i've heard nothing oh no oh no

This O-ring is lost in the void. Per usual, we've got company coming soon, and I guess I've got to rule out that particular bedroom because, well, the bathroom...

If you try to use the shower. Also, this is a more subtle thing that doesn't apply to everyone. If you get a generator installed, your generator comes with a set of keys that keeps it locked up so people can't just access it that are going by. I highly recommend you don't lose the keys because man, oh man, could they not inspect the generator if you don't have the keys? Not saying I lost my keys. I'm just telling you all out there, don't. You know what? That axiom that I live by when you're talking about keys is...

Don't lose them. Doesn't matter if it's for a bike lock, for a cabinet. Maybe you got keys for, you know, for some kind of deck box, generator. You know what I do is I just keep those. Yeah. Wait, I know the exact feeling. Did I tell you guys about when I lost the keys to my generator? No. And I had to get a locksmith out to open it? No.

Yeah. Now, the thing about those locks is you could put a spork in there and turn it and it would be fine. It would bust open in a second because they're not really that secure. But I didn't want to break it. Now, locksmith comes out and he gets it open in two seconds. Literally, he doesn't even pick it. It's like...

All right, that'll be $350. And I said, no fucking way. Your quote was 99. You quoted 99 before you came out here. I'm not paying a cent over there. I literally am looking at this guy and I know he's ripping me off. He's trying to rip me off because I tell him like, that's not what you quoted. He's like, that's just a price, man. I don't set it. I was like, yeah, you know who did set it? Whoever quoted me $99.

You're not like, I don't care what you say. He's like, well, it was two locks, man. It was like, it was the same key for both locks. You didn't even make a key. It's just like, it was two locks, man. 350. It was two locks, man. I was so mad. Let's see. $99 includes driving out there, picking a lock and leaving. Second lock. 99 goes to 350. Yes, that's what it was. And as soon as that van went through, the guy ran. The guy literally ran to his car.

because he knew how pissed I was. He's not even the locksmith. He just saw the locksmith pull up and he ran in instead. Well, that's the thing. When I was calling him out on it, he started to get like those adrenaline shakes. Like he knew he was like, you know, under pressure. And I could tell like he was squirming. He was going to cave and he was going to be like, all right, fine. You know, but it was that he ran. He fucking ran. And I turned up like, what are you doing?

I mean, it's fine. I shouldn't have lost the keys. I know that. But still, it's a principle of a thing. I'm not going to let someone rip me off right to my face. All I'm thinking about right now is I set myself up so hard. The next time I need a key for something that I don't use daily, I'm going to go and be like, oh, go find the key where I left it. It's not going to be there.

Yeah, that's true. I put that key. I remember getting the keys. I have a vivid memory of being handed those keys and being told like, yeah, hang on to these. You'll get like an annual inspection. You'll need these to open it up. And I was like, cool. I'll put this in a place where I can't forget it. Can't lose it. Where's that place? That's a great question. Wait, I'm going to come over and I'm going to give you something that you're going to really need to hold on to. You can need it once a year. It's extremely important. I'm just going to put it somewhere secure. See where that leads you. We have...

a designated spot for keys every key to this house including keys we've never used like the previous homeowners are like here's a key to this thing we never locked it but if you want to you can like a closet has like a lock that has like the radon thing that you can lock this closet i'm like yeah i expect so many people to want our radon mitigation plastic pipe this

probably really had heavy demand. There's not a single thing that's worth anything in there. They're like, yeah, you could lock it up. Maybe to keep a kid out or something if you have a child. I don't know. There's like a key for that. Found it instantly. Keys for the Synology, the old one I don't even have anymore. Found those. Yeah.

Everything. I was like, oh man, a key to the locket I had with my ex in high school. Found that. Where's the locket? Don't know. Got the key. Where's the keys to that generator? That's a heck of a plumbing problem you got there. Minus 10 points to me, I guess. How many keys you got for that system? You're like the key master in the matrix. Just like key after key after key. One of these is for radon. The other's for uranium. The other's for poop.

I want to get these mixed up and clink, clink. You said Keymaster in The Matrix. I want you to know I pictured the Oracle from The Matrix, but then I also pictured the Pagemaster, like the childhood movie. No one talks about the Pagemaster. Great movie, dude. Have we not talked about the Pagemaster? Because that movie is dramatically underrated. Exactly. And traumatizing for children. A little bit.

Yeah, the page mastered like no one ever talks about anymore, but also you know who that kid is It's mostly animated so it may not be obvious. Do you remember who the kid is? Who's this? It's Macaulay Culkin, right? It's Macaulay Culkin. Yeah. Yeah, it's crazy

I had a book, you know, those kids books where you push this thing on the side where you push the buttons and it makes the sounds. I had one of those of the page master, but it was like from the movie. All I remember is there was a horror button where you pushed it and he just went, follow me. And that like sound echoes through my brain every moment I exist. Isn't the librarian in that movie someone famous to like Christopher Lloyd or something? Yeah, he's Chris. Yeah. He's yeah. Doc Brown. And one of the books is, um,

What's her name? My brain is going Rosie O'Donnell, but that's not it. Isn't the fantasy book Whoopi? Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's it. Oh, and Patrick Stewart is Adventure. I forgot about that. I never realized that. Yeah, fantasy is Whoopi Goldberg. Adventure is Patrick Stewart. I don't recognize Frank Welker, the voice of horror. And then Leonard Nimoy is Jekyll Hyde. Oh.

Oh man, that scene, you just reminded me of the fucking terrifying. That scene was one of the most terrifying scenes. Yes. Yeah.

oh my god like i just remember that that scream and i was like as a kid i was like fucking christ yes it's wild they start off with horror yeah it really kind of like settles down a bit after that like you know it's thrilling but like man is that like the most terrifying part of the movie as a kid it's like right off the bat yeah what a way to start what a way yeah great movie great movie oh great movie everyone gets a page master point lovely movie

That's kind of a good segue into our topic today. I want to encourage people to branch out and just try things. You know, there's a lot of things I don't like, a lot of things I do like, but I think branching out and trying things is important because you don't really know if you like something until you try it. So we're going to talk about some things that we tried and liked, things that we tried and we didn't like. So we'll kind of go back and forth. We'll start off with tried it, loved it,

and we'll go to tried it, didn't like it. So really it's pretty open. I've got some subtopics if we need it, but I assume you guys can think of things you tried that you were like kind of on the fence about trying, whether it's food or jobs or games or what have you. I want to talk about trying things because I think trying things is important. And you might try something and absolutely hate it, but you know, you don't know you hate it until you try it. And maybe you're going to be like, see, I knew I'd hate it. But for every one of those, there's oftentimes something you try and you're like, I didn't expect to like that, but man, oh man, was that good.

So that's where we will begin. And I don't really care who goes first, but we'll alternate just to keep it fair. So if one of you has one right away, feel free to jump in and then we'll go from there. I'm afraid I've told this story before. When I was really little, like 10 and under,

I did not care for like rides, like carnival rides. I was terrified of roller coasters, anything that might go upside down, scared the absolute shit out of me. But there was a gap in there between there and like 10 years later, which was like the next time I ended up going to a theme park that had like roller coasters and stuff. I didn't ever go on a roller coaster. I refused. It's not like I went on one and hated it. I just wouldn't.

Wouldn't. And then at some point I was like 18, 19, 20 years old and friends were going to Cedar Point and I was like, I'll come. Like, oh, I want to go. That's a fun trip and whatever. And we got there and they were like, there's nothing to do here except roller coasters. There's no way you're coming on a trip to Cedar Point with us and not riding roller coasters. And I was like, I'm not.

like I might hate it guys I never liked roller coasters and I was really freaked out about it and I remember we went on Magnum which was once the tallest roller coaster in the world or in the country or something and then Millennium Force is also at Cedar Point so they have a bunch of tall coasters it's a big tall coaster and I remember I got on and up the first hill I was just like oh god I

Oh, I'm going to be so... I was panicking. And then we got over the hill and got literally like... As we crested the hill, I went from panic to slowly easing my arms up to just like... Yeah! Woo!

I fucking loved it. It was the greatest thing ever. I spent a whole decade of my life just assuming I didn't like roller coasters because when I was a kid, I didn't like the motion was too much for me. I fucking love roller coasters. It's so exhilarating. Upside down doesn't bother me. Whatever. It's all the different kinds. Love them. And I was so shocked. And my friends were like, why are you shocked? Everybody likes roller coasters. We came here to do roller coasters from like three hours away. I'm like, yeah, I guess that makes sense. But no.

But I like them, guys. That's so crazy. Similar story to that. I dated a girl for a few months in like 7th or 8th grade. She tricked me into getting on Adventure Express at Kings Island, which is like the most kiddie coaster for adults. Love it, though. And I was like...

all right, like there's all these kids that are like five, six years old getting on there. They're like, woo, let's do it again. And I was like, I don't know. I don't know if I'm going to like this. Do we, do we have to like, I was the one freaking out in the line. Like there's not much of a line for it. It usually goes pretty quick. And I was, I was,

Like the kids are running by me. I was like, yeah, you guys go ahead. And she was like, no, no, it's going to be fine. You're going to enjoy it. It's like, trust me, there's no loops or anything. And I was like, oh, but they're big hills, big, scary hills. I don't know if I like a big, scary hill. Meanwhile, driving in a car, if you go up and down the big hill, I'm like, yeah, that was fun. But something about not having a roof over my head, I was like, oh, I don't know.

I don't know if I'm going to like it all of a sudden. She got me on that one, got me on the racer back whenever the racer was forward and backward. And we kind of just went from there. But like every time I enjoyed it and she was like, all right, let's go to one tiny step forward. I don't know if I'll like one tiny step forward. I like that one. But like if this one's a little bit scarier, I don't know that I'd like it. So same thing. Did you really find the adventure express that terrifying? I remember it being bumpy. I don't remember it that terrible, though.

I had never ridden it, so like looking at it, it was bigger than the teacups. This is total departure from roller coasters. What I would recommend people trying is taking an improv class, because this goes back to like us doing the tour and stuff like that. As a YouTuber, I had this like, well, actually, even before I was a YouTuber, I loved Whose Line Is It Anyway? I thought it was hilarious. I still think it's hilarious. I don't watch it as much as I did, but I watched it religiously back in the day, looping through. People know that.

But taking an improv class is such a drastic difference from watching it because you won't realize how unfunny you are until you take that first improv class. 101 is just a bunch of people, everyone's nervous, no one's confident, and no one has any instincts unless they're just there taking it again for fun.

But I recommend it because it's kind of a safe space to suck and it's not on stage. It's just with a bunch of other people that also don't know. And it is fun when you start to understand like that it is just supposed to be for fun. I believe actors should take improv classes. I learned more about acting in an improv class than I ever did taking an actual acting class.

I don't recommend people try an acting class, especially if it's like an advertised one. Like, go to your acting school. We're so prestigious. We'll teach you so much stuff. It's like, I hated every acting class I ever went to. It's just such a smarmy, stupid area. But the improv classes were actually very fun, very educational, and did help train that kind of openness and natural response. So if you ever wanted to get out of your comfort zone, I recommend taking an improv class. It's good times.

I'm assuming you took one beyond what we did for the tour. Are you talking about the one we did together? I took one before we started getting training from Rachel. I had that experience whenever we were doing that in front of Rachel. And it was like,

I've got this great idea. I mean, this is going to really hit. And with Rachel as our only audience member and she just sit there like stone faced watching us and like, you could just feel like, Oh God, technically I did something wrong. Was it funny? It wasn't funny. Am I funny? I'm not funny. No. Like you have all those thoughts. Every scene you do, you're like, you go through like those catastrophic thoughts of like, dude, what a great scene. She's not laughing. Was it funny? Like,

just questioning everything but that's still one of my greatest joys in life i made rachel laugh once was it the time she went haha dick is that it well no that wasn't to me or was it that was to someone who just like no butted the absolute fuck out of an absolute softball yeah it was like a conversation in three lines it was like hey david and they're like i'm jeremy wow

No, I don't remember if that was it or not, but I just remember I made her laugh by being so inept at the game we're playing that I absolutely demolished every rule all in one sentence and action that I took. But still, I made Rachel laugh. So it was funny. She's she's tough audience, though, and also so effortlessly funny that it's.

I remember that feeling. I'll remember that for the rest of my life. I think when everyone buys in and accepts the rules of improv, if somebody does break the rules in the right circumstance, it can be really funny. Oh, yeah. Being a musician, I know this well. You have to earn your bones before you're allowed to just willy-nilly break rules and whatnot. But it's so easy to break the rules.

I love whose line I want to go back and rewatch the old seasons again that arctic turd bit has been in my head for a while now too because it came up on social media recently what sound does it make backstreet boys no Colin that's wrong I was thinking of an owl

The scene they do, I forget what the game is called, but basically they're like, they've gotta like beat their spies and they have to break into like the, I forget what they even call them, I call them some fucking crazy, it was like the Eberflus of something or another, and they're basically, it's like the cat, the scene with the cat. Yeah, the cat.

i don't remember much about the scene other than they're like breaking into some like prince's apartment or something and they've got to like change out his uh his burnoose burnoose the burnoose of whatever they couldn't get the name either and like you could tell right and call it don't know what a burnoose is or at least one of them i don't think we did they don't know who the hell this person is and the whole time colin is just like fucking with ryan and ryan can't keep it together and it's so funny the burnoose scene i figured i've

don't remember all the specifics but god that every time that whole scene always gets me because we need something to agitate it give me the beans the cat no that's no good the cat's wet now

God, it's so funny. That's an opportunity where the no but works. The cat. No, the cat's wet. Because his building is like, come on, man. The cat's wet. No is different than we can't. That's true. Can I steal someone's story for a thing that people tried, but it was someone else, but they liked it? Sure. Karaoke.

Interesting. I am not a big singer. I am not a big singing in front of other people type person. I love music, but I play instruments I don't sing. And I didn't do this, but this past weekend, Mandy was at her brother's birthday celebrations. And one of the things they did is they went to a karaoke bar. And this is not like the Korean style where it's like you get your own room and you just your party kind of singing with each other or whatever.

It was like the whole bar is watching. It's a stage. You go up on stage. You do a song in front of everybody. She was very reticent about it. And basically they all got there and everyone was like, well, we're here. You have to do it now. You have to do it. And she, you know, she got pressured into doing it. She thought it was going to be awful. She was really nervous about it. Mandy's honestly a pretty good singer. Like she's a good musician. She just didn't want to do it. But then she got up on stage and the thing that,

about at least good karaoke bars apparently is you just get unconditional hype when you do it. You go up there and even if you sing the absolute worst rendition of whatever thing you're singing, the whole fucking place is drunk and hype and everyone is just like cheering and screaming. And it's like, no matter how terrified you might be or how bad of a singer you might be, whatever, it's just like a hard to experience that feeling.

because of what we do and like we've done the live show but we also do it we kind of get that where people cheer for us no matter how stupid or terrible we are or our jokes are whatever sometimes we need it yeah but like it's hard to get that if your job isn't being an idiot online in front of everybody all the time and she said it was like just the best just it was that karaoke bar was fucking great and

And it was great to do. And it was like a big morale boost to just get that kind of unconditional hype and cheering. And so, yeah, do karaoke. Get out there. It's terrifying, but it's exciting. Here's a tip. If you're nervous, pick a song that is universally loved, like do like Sweet Caroline or something, because then everyone's going to sing along with you anyway and clap along. You can't go wrong with like a classic that everyone else wants to hear or sing along to anyway. What you should really do is try and do Rap God. Yeah.

Everyone loves Rap God. Our VFX guy, Wes, we had a rap party for Iron Lung and it's, you know, at the rooftop bar someplace. We've done it for Heist in Space. Rap like the end of the party or rap like everyone had to rap? Like wrap up, Wade. Like wrapping up, yes. And Wes loves karaoke.

He loves karaoke. So he brought his own karaoke setup, which he has, to the wrap party. It wasn't there. And what is so amazing is some of the people that you would never expect are unbelievable karaoke experts.

I would say one person, uh, he was in the, uh, the makeup and like prosthetic design. He regularly wins competitions for performing karaoke. He is incredible. And some of the people like in like the lighting department, Bailey was just like an

unbelievable singer and there's so many other different talents that were getting up there and just yearning for it everyone loves karaoke it doesn't matter if you're good or bad and then doing it in a group setting is just amazing because you'll see like these talents come out of nowhere and just like blow you away it's super cool

Very fun. Cool. Do you have another one that you do like that you want to go with, Mark? Because I was going to switch it up and go to things that we didn't like that we tried. I mean, there's a ton of them. Mine kind of overlap with what you guys have been doing. There's so many things that I've tried, I guess. What's something you tried and absolutely hated? Okay, we're switching to hate acting class. I mean, I did mention that. Okay.

that's fair here's why in acting class unlike with 101 improv you have people that have been taking that class for years and years and the problem with that is in each acting class they start to develop their own inside language and their own inside jokes and their own inside what is good and they develop a taste that is exclusive to that

class and not necessarily even if the class is teaching a subset of acting that people really believe and in all honesty like each subset of acting is just a different way to get to the same point right believability or or like truth in the moment or yada yada it's it's what improv is just like just being relaxed and in the moment but then you get these people that are

so unbelievably pretentious and they almost teach through shame right they teach by going when you go up and try to do something and you don't do it right instead of everyone laughing it off and being like haha you know no not like that they no one laughs

No one does anything other than just being like, wow, you're not doing it right. At least some of the acting classes that I've been to, but I've been to a few now and they're all the same. And so you have people that just don't want to give you any kind of leeway outside of the box that they believe is the right method. And I'm not saying all of it's like that, but I've had much better experience with one

with one-on-one practice and coaching than I ever have in a class setting. But obviously, you know, it's harder to get that because that's more expensive to pay for one-on-one training. But also at the same time, I've learned more about acting just by doing than I ever did taking a class or learning. Something you hate, Bob? I'm going to start with a big one.

It's going to out me as a nerd and generally uncool loser person. My first one I want to go with is alcohol. Can I just say once and for all, I understand that adults are supposed to have...

your palate develops and I do feel like mine has developed and I, I like more complex and bitter and whatever flavors than I used to my scale for like what alcohol I want. If someone is like, we're having drinks and they're like, what do you have is what do I find the least offensive thing I can drink from the bar that we're at or whatever. And it's generally like,

a gin and tonic or some kind of really light beer, not light beer, but like a, like wheat beers or something, because they're generally, they have pretty unoffensive tastes. I thought at some point, like, I don't know everyone. A lot of people have that experience where you're in college or you're in college ish age, right? You, you reach drinking age. Cause I would never have drank before I turned 21. I definitely waited. And you get that first opportunity and, and you're like, Oh,

I get to try this now. And the first time you try beer or whatever, you're kind of like, yeah, it's great. But like, you're supposed to like it, right? It's a thing. And especially it's your birthday party or whatever, like fine, fine. But I never got past that. Every time I've ever drank anything, it was mainly because we were in a setting where everyone was like, let's have a drink. And I didn't be that want to be that one guy. It was like, Oh, give me a diet Coke with a lime on the rim. That'll

hold me over really want to mix it up with this lime it's just gross you guys are not big drinkers either so maybe this is a weird group to have this conversation is there like an alcohol you really like like you drink it and you think mmm delicious or is it like you drink it and you're like wow despite how burning that is in my mouth or whatever I can tolerate that are you talking beers or alcohol because it's been a while since I took a shot

Anything. I don't know. All of it. Even mixed drinks. I like non-alcoholic beers of certain types. I don't want the fancy IPA with all the hops. I like a non-alcoholic light beer because I drank piss water even when I was in college.

And I enjoyed it because it didn't have a lot of flavor, but it had just enough. So I do enjoy like my most recent one is called Athletic Light. Athletic makes a bunch of other ones that I don't give a shit about. They're all these upside down or whatever it's called with like, oh, it's got so many notes of yada yada and I don't care. You can really taste the dirt it was grown in. I don't care.

me the light one so the light one is actually great i like it a lot crazy expensive way too expensive there's not even alcohol in it why is it so expensive it doesn't make any sense that is kind of silly smirnoff's mike's hard lemonades those kinds of drinks i enjoy there's like a new year's celebration mike's hard lemonade that had like some different flavors that i actually really enjoyed pina coladas like fruity drinks like that as long as they're lighter on the alcohol i don't want a lot of alcohol in fact

I would be happy with just like a virgin daiquiri or virgin pina colada, but sometimes like a little bit adds a little bit of a flavor without being like the burning grossness. But if they put too much in there, it's just kind of like...

oh man the bartender was generous tonight yeah good a good one but like if your goal is to get intoxicated i guess that's what you want but for me it's like i don't if i get like when we were doing drunk minecraft back in the day man we'd record earlier in the afternoon and getting fucking hammered at like 2 p.m and then having the rest of the day to be like oh fuck good thing i don't work today it's my day off dude have i ever told you about that time i was at maker and we were doing an idea that involved drinking have i ever talked about that

this. I don't think so. I don't remember this. This is one of the first time that I was coming out to LA. So it was very early on. And there was this idea to do a kind of mini series that was about, you know, drunk history, right? It was a parody of that, but talking about video games. So I was get drunk, talk about a game from your childhood. It was actually not a bad idea. Just like, you know, it doesn't have the same punch as drunk history because you're just recalling something from your, your childhood or trying to explain it to me.

It's like a spinoff of that sort of thing. I could see that. So I did that. And, you know, I don't tolerate alcohol very well, but this is before I had my heart attack and I stopped drinking. So it's one o'clock, right? I get there in the morning and we start drinking and start filming. And so it's at a place that's like down the street from where Maker Studios used to be. For those who don't know, Maker Studios was the MCN that I was a part of when I first started. Multi-channel network was a big thing. It's not a thing anymore.

There are some, but I don't know why. Maybe for smaller channels do need it for like, you know, collective getting brand deals. It does help to some extent, but for the most part back then it was a wild West and there was a lot of like, sometimes not cool, sometimes very cool. Don't matter down the street, filmed it, walked back to, uh,

the main studio and I drove there. So I needed to like, wait until I was good. I clearly was not in any shape to drive. So I was going to just spend a few hours there, hang out, talk to people, maybe film another video. I was spending a lot of time at the office, but I walked in hammered right at one 30. Right. So everyone thought that I had a serious problem. No one told any

else in the office what was happening. And here I am being like, hey man, how you doing? It's just, I had a whole bottle of wine or something and it's just like, just breathing on everybody. And I heard later that people legitimately thought, oh god, oh no, he's, oh fuck, what do we do? I guess ignore it. Oh, should we help him? Oh man, this is so, all these, oh, it sucks when a YouTuber just goes downhill, huh? It's just...

people thought that for a long time before eventually like the story came around like oh is that a show that never actually went out so there's footage of that somewhere somewhere there's footage of that recording i don't know where though i never had it because it wasn't my show there's a lot of maker things that never quite came to fruition i filmed a couple of them that were like oh this might be good a little see and then like it just disappeared off the face of the earth yeah and then you did that ellen musk show yep uh

Are you a robot or whatever the hell it was called? Something like that. Yeah. Really thought it was Ellen for a long time. That's really funny. No one corrected me, dude. I just knowing, knowing you personally and like how you like who you are and how you choose to drink and, and just in general, even before you really stopped completely. It's so fucking funny to think there, there were some like a small group of people out there was like, Oh my God.

Mark is a raging alcoholic. Holy fuck. There's probably like one or two people that like left after that day. They still think that. Is he okay? I'm sure there are. Like Mark says he doesn't drink because of health reasons. I'm sure it's because of rehab. It's good for him, I guess, but he could at least be honest. Court ordered health reasons. I don't know.

don't know why no one explained it to their how is there no crossover between the whoever may have known you did that and that everyone else because someone just had to like walk in and they were like oh Mark's drunk guy and one person had to be like oh we just filmed a show but like drunk gaming history we just filmed that he just drank like a whole bottle of wine for show for the show we filmed and they would have all been like oh wow that makes sense this was at a time when there was like 200 people in that office like oh lord pack

packed with people. So I can totally understand where word wouldn't get around far enough, but it's, it's a thing where it's like a whole pen of, of people working and you have to walk past all of them to get into the area where the gaming section was. So at, um,

I just imagine you bursting through the double doors, stumbling in like, hello everybody. You're like, oh God, Mark's here again. I probably was kind of annoying like that. So I wouldn't doubt that I did. And frankly, I just went in and started blabbering and I took a nap on a couch somewhere and I don't even know whose couch. It was like couches around. Mark, you can have my couch, but I got to go work over here for a while. And you're, buh-bye!

God, don't remind me. It's probably what it was. Drunk Mark sounds a lot like toddler Mark. James says bye to everything. Literally walking through a parking lot. He's like, hi car. Bye bye car. That's cute. It's cute, but it's silly. It's a little bit different of an image than Mark. Like hammers would be like, hey car, bye.

Bye car. Toddlers are kind of like drunk adults. That's that's not unfair. What are we talking about? Things we don't like. You said alcohol. Right, right, right. Does anyone drink alcohol because they think it's delicious or because you need a little buzz and also you'll tolerate whatever alcohol you drink?

Some people say it's like coffee where it's an acquired taste and they enjoy it more over time. But I feel like by the time I would enjoy it, I would have to have a problem because I've been drinking on and off for however many years now. I don't love it, but I'll have a social drink. I like the fruity, tasty drinks. But even those, like I said, like the lower alcohol content, the more I seem to enjoy it. So probably not weird. I'm sure it is an acquired taste, but more likely it's just because there's that end result of alcohol in your system as opposed to the taste.

Mark, something else you tried and you didn't like it. I don't recommend... I did it for a very short amount of time. And I'm sure to some people it was very fulfilling. I did not like being...

waiter a waiter is a very very tough job and some people you know there's some people like do it all the time and they're very good at it I did not like being a waiter because it's not that I couldn't do it it's not that I couldn't be nice and I you know it's very very charming it's just like the heartbreak of you put everything into the service you provided you made him laugh everything was great and then the tip at the end of it is just abysmal

What really struck me and always remember, because I like I did great. I was trying to take care of this table. It was like a family of four or five or something like that. Fairly large bill. And I was like, OK, this would be a good tip. And they they tipped about eight percent and they left a note being like, great service here. You deserve this. Yeah.

to an 8% tip. And I'm not a big proponent of tipping culture in general. I feel like that probably should change someday. But that was heartbreaking. And I realized like, ah, it doesn't matter how much effort I put in. This is just the way it is. So I couldn't do it. Also, the terrible tables were just awful. People don't give a shit. And people get really mad for the smallest reasons. And they just want to take their frustrations out on someone that they feel is beneath them. So yeah.

Don't recommend that. That is a tough job. Yeah, very tough job. I know everyone like the economy sucks right now and people are struggling for money, but like waiters and waitresses, I feel like I've always usually been under tip. I try to tip well whenever I get whenever I go out and have service or whatever, but like this is not like a fun thing to have like that unpredictable of a income.

Yeah. I gave you a point and I wrote waiter and I drew a top hat on the W for no particular reason, but I just wanted you to know that it's there. Thank you. He wasn't a fancy waiter. Okay. Let's not get it twisted. It was for the sushi place I worked at. I also worked at. So he's like, fuck you, Bob. I hated that job since we, well, but you were not mostly a waiter there. That was right. Wasn't that right near the end? Yeah. So I went waiter and then I was like, uh, I hate this. Can I try a bartender? And then I, uh,

I had the appendix tumor power duo and I lost my job got taken. So I didn't have a position there anymore. I should have just stuck with busing. Busing was so nice. No, dude. Busing was where it was at. I was a buser at that place for a while. It was nice. Go clear a table, pour some water.

drink some miso eat some rice clear table the endless supply of miso soup and rice in the back and spicy mayo you could just like get a bowl of rice put a little spicy mayo have a little snack and they always had family did you ever get to have the family meal yeah that was so good if you started right at open you got to eat the meal that like all the real employees got to eat you are there's a buster you're like i have what me yeah oh it's delicious it was always good that job was it

amazing that's a great place i did not realize how good that job was until i lost it and had to like i worked a micro center and oh and the the guy who managed it too leo was his name leo was awesome i after i worked there but before we moved away mandy and i went to ichiban a few times and every time we showed up leo would be like hey

Bob, let me get you a special table. Have some appetizers. But that dude was awesome. He was super nice. I love his New York accent went in, but I believe... Let me be honest. Leo was Chinese and he was an immigrant. And I'm not going to try to emulate how he actually spoke. He was like just the best dude. Probably one of the best managers I ever had. Very awesome. He was really, really cool. He was cool to me too. Whenever I went back, I never saw him there. But man, yeah, that was a really, really...

Good job. Good place. I hope it's still in business, is it? I don't know. We've been meaning to have a look and go stop by if it was still open. But I think I looked on Google Maps and it's still there. But I have no idea if it was sold to new ownership or what exactly. Okay. Well, hopefully. Or if it's just not marked as closed on Google. Who knows? Mark hated that place. Good point for Mark. It's funny that you brought up a job. This is a thing I did as a job for a short time. Wouldn't recommend it.

Driving rideshare and specifically rideshare because I also was a pizza guy. I did this before the time of like Uber Eats and DoorDash and things were big. I would have probably really liked doing like food delivery. Driving a rideshare. I drove for Uber specifically, but doing that, it wasn't like

always bad, but the bad parts were so bad it was not worth the rest of it because it was just a string of people. Like some nights I would only meet nice people. Some nights, every single fair, they get in and you're like, hey, are you Melissa? Yeah, we're going. Okay. And you do the drive and they then they tip you and it's like cool and whatever. It was decent. But the bad ones, holy fuck, are the bad ones etched in my memory forever.

I, the worst fair I ever had, I drove a Ford fusion and I, and I was just like an Uber driver and a midsize sedan. So I could accommodate four small adults. Like there could technically be three people in the back seat, but that was it. And one time I pulled up, we were live near North Carolina state university. And so I would do a lot of college fairs. I pulled up to like a sorority house and five completely trashed, like girls who were at a sorority party walked up and were like, this

is our car. And I was like, there's at least one too many of you. I can't take like you should order an XL or whatever. Right. And they're like, we're getting in. And like I rolled the window down, but I hadn't unlocked the doors. They like reached in and opened the door. They literally just would not stop getting in the car. At a certain point, I just resigned and I was like, OK, it's a short drive. I'll just fucking

Like, this is probably illegal and not great. We'll just go safely and quickly and I'll get rid of them. It was literally less than a 10 minute drive. And in this time, they almost got me pulled over twice because they were one of them kept trying to hang out the window and yell at people, but

then another one of them was starting to get sick and they started hanging out the window so that they could be sick out the window. And it was four girls in the back seat and one in the front. The one in the front was, I don't know if asleep. I don't remember. Super nice. Didn't say anything. Didn't bother me. Totally fine. But those girls, I, that was near the end. And that was one of the last nights where I, that like boiled the whole night, pissed me off. I also had a bunch of really angry people just in general, like

Having to interact with people in that way in the ride share format as the driver was not worth it. Didn't make enough, nearly enough money at that job for that to be worth it. It's

Sucked people suck did some random crazy shit or made fun of me a good number of people would be really mean To me make a lot of fat jokes or just like poke fun at the car or like they were just in a bad mood And they took it out on me. It's like really weird. That's bizarre. I don't know some people are like that They just they're like, okay this person i've hired status I need to build myself up and the only way I know is to put someone down some people are just like that

I've told you about the guy that I knew in college. Anytime a girl was around, he insulted every other guy around him just because he had to make himself feel, not look. It was not a good look. It never worked. But make himself feel like he was above everyone else and that would mark him as like just a sadonis of a man. That's real Sigma shit right there. Yeah, absolutely. 100%.

See, I had the opposite thought whenever you're talking about the rideshare thing. Do you remember, Bob, I don't know if you were there or not. I can't remember. There was a convention we went to. I think it was in Boston. It was. I think I was there. And we were going to a maker party and we called a cab and we were running late and we made the mistake of telling the cab driver we were running late and it was at least the three of us. I think it was the three of us. I was at least with you, Mark. Mm-hmm.

But like we told the cab driver we were running late and he proceeded to drive in like the middle of the road, rolled down both windows, had a middle finger hanging out of both sides and fucking just flew, cut down some sketchy back alleys, got us there and he wouldn't open the doors until we gave him a big tip for getting us there quickly. Neat. I actually don't think I was in that one. He did what you asked, I guess. We, comrade, what we asked. But man...

I thought you were going to talk about it was we had like a full SUV with like a bunch of us trying to just get to the convention and he couldn't fucking find his way out of a paper bag. And somehow we ended up like down by the water on a little one way delivery road. And he did like a turnaround, awkwardly drove out the one way. He was just hopelessly lost and sucked at driving and navigating in general. Yeah. Boston has some crazy Ubers. We had an Uber.

or I think it was Uber driver took us to the airport and wouldn't let us get our luggage out of the trunk until he saw us physically give him a five star rating. God. Out of the trunk? Our luggage. Oh, I thought you were trapped in the trunk. It's just I missed something key there. No, no, our luggage was in the trunk. We were able to get out, but we couldn't have our luggage until we gave him a five star rating. I've seen that in a comedy sketch on SNL, not in real life. Really happened.

He was angry, kind of muscular guy, but, uh, you know, would not let us have our shit till he saw the five star rating. It's like, dude, I would have just given you one. Like the ride was fine. Why the fuck are you so scary now? Does he know that you can petition afterwards? Tell him that you

tell customer service tell them that that was a very bad experience actually and you were just trying to avoid a mugging mugging yeah we were gonna get mugging don't know man but it was like the whole ride was perfectly fine he was nice he didn't talk too much like we kind of chatted among ourselves it was great got there and then all of a sudden his demeanor just fucking shifted as to like

I'll let you have your stuff once I see you give me a five-star rating. And it's like... You saw him up in the front seat, just like the shadow on the ceiling. Can we get out of the car? I am Mr. Hyde!

Callback. So have you guys ever like some sometimes you get an Uber black or whatever and they're like they'll have bottles of water and it's like they're trying to be fancy. Have you ever had like a really low rent Uber try and be fancy but it is weird. We had this one where it was like it was a fine car but it was like an old

90s Buick, whatever. Not a very fancy new car. But he had like plastic grocery bags tied on the back of the seat with like little fun sized bags of chips in it. And then like a different bag on the floor, like a sack full of water bottles. And we got in and he was like, help yourself to some snacks, guys. Check this out. I got chips. We got cold drinks. I don't think they were cold. I think they're just on the floor. But yeah.

like it was just super weird because it was like trying to be a town car but actually not like just not very nice guy it's just weird i could see he's trying he's trying there i get it he wants those five stars i guess had a friend lent rental a limo one time that drove us to like an airport or whatever which was cool it had like a cooler with like i think like a bottle of wine some glasses and like sodas and stuff but the snacks were open bags of chips that were clipped closed

but clearly had been shared by the people before, but like new bottles of wine and sodas on ice in the back. And then previously open big bags of like Doritos, just like with a clip on it. Great. All right, guys, we're at the, we're at the airport. Can you roll those up?

and put those chip clips back on the bags for me. So just so I don't have to climb back there and do that. I appreciate it. Are you sure that wasn't someone else's snack that they had left behind? Did he say anything about them? It was in its own little basket, like three or four different bags of chips. One was unopened. It was like sour cream or something. And then like three that were open of various brands.

amounts left with a clip on it. So if it was left, he was like, sweet, free food for the next one. Put them in a basket. But I don't know. The clip is premeditated. You don't just have chip clips in a car. You have chip clips because you expect to have leftover chips somewhere. That guy knows what he did. Yeah. Yeah.

That's a memory I thought should have just been lost to the void, but it's back. Well, as we wind down here, any more big likes or dislikes of things you tried that you guys want to throw out there before we wrap up? We can do one more each. You choose like or dislike whatever comes to mind. I didn't like me. OK, I don't partake. I have. But Bob, I'm

Like, you know, perfectly legally, of course. Well, if we're being totally honest, you just happened to come hang out with me at a point where other people also made that happen. I'm going to sell myself out as a total weenie again. I've never bought any weed except for one time in my life, which was I was in Amsterdam and I went to a cafe where it's completely legal to just like buy and then smoke upstairs in the cafe and then go hang out and do Amsterdam stuff.

I had friends, you know, generous friends. And then you left to pick up someone from the airport and then I proceeded to pack two more bowls and smoke them myself. I don't think I ever told you that I did that. When you arrived, I was just catatonic on the couch. How many times did I go to the bathroom? Like constantly? Yeah, I kept getting up and going, gotta go to the bathroom, guys. And I would just sit on the floor, look at the ceiling, watch it melt.

And be like, come on, come on, come on, he doesn't know a thing. You're so cool about this and go back, lay on the couch, pretend to watch TV because I didn't see a thing. I think I was functionally blind when I was on that couch staring at the lights on the TV. I'd be like, go to the bathroom again.

Then I would go lay on the floor. Come on, man. Come on. Dude, that's so funny when that happens. I don't know if it's specific varieties of weed or whatever that they gave you different types of highs. I think that's a thing. But like there was one time I was in Vegas with some friends and it was after it was legalized there and we got some like gummies and we just like had

what seemed like a reasonable amount dosage and then went and hung out in the pool for a while. It was totally fine and I was having a good time. And then at one point it just like hit. And I don't remember this, but I apparently I stood straight up in a pool that was like three feet deep and I'm six and a half feet tall. So I stood up this huge dude and I looked over at friends and I was like, do you think they could tell I'm so high right now?

Do you think anyone knows? Like I was so, it just like hit and I was just like, Oh,

Oh, I lost all concept of anyone else being around. Apparently it was fucking hilarious. I don't really remember it that much. I, to this day, have never tried anything. Alcohol is the one thing I've tried. I've tried nothing else. Not a puff of a cigarette, not a puff of a cigar, not weed, nothing. That's fair. I miss it much with tobacco. It is addictive, but...

I still like the smell. Yeah, no, I still like the smell of cigars. My dad smokes cigars and smoked them when I was a kid. And I'll have one from time to time. But I'm the same with cigars as I am with alcohol. I smoked a cigar that I find least offensive. But I still, every time I'm like, love this.

I have a quick and easy one that was just really sad. Sure. Our summer vacations when I was a kid, we would always just go camping up in northern Michigan. My mom became increasingly successful in her career as we grew up. So it sort of went from like camping until like we would get like a cottage or a rental or something. But we would there was one place I don't remember exactly when it was, but we were camping somewhere and there was this place that was renting out.

recumbent bicycles recumbent meaning like you sit back and the pedals are kind of in front of you and it's like you're really low to the ground and you're kind of laying back and it's a bicycle and everyone was fucking riding them they were yellow they were bright yellow and you saw them everywhere and then we were there for like a week camping and and just hanging out and i every day i was like

like, God, I want to do that so bad. God, can we rent some of those bicycles? And my parents were like, that don't look very fun. I mean, we'll think about it, but like, I don't think you're going to like, and I was just obsessed. Please, please let me just ride. I'll rent it by myself and I'll just ride around by our campsite. Finally, they relented and

Went through the whole thing and paid and it was kind of expensive, blah, blah, blah. Finally, I got my helmet. I sat down. I rode maybe 30 feet before I was like, oh, oh no, I'm committed to doing this for like the rest of today. Now I made this such a big fucking deal. I can't, I never said a word about it to my parents or anyone. I just rode around. It was like,

Yay! I fucking hated that thing. God damn it. Some people need to ride a recumbent bike for physical reasons, posture reasons, or whatever physical demands of their body. However, they're so fucking uncomfortable to me. Oh my God, I hated it so deeply. Anyway, that was very disappointing. I never told my parents. I pretended to like the shit out of that recumbent bike. To this day, they think you liked the bike.

They probably were watching me ride around smiling but crying and were like, I knew he wouldn't like it. Now he's just going to have to ride that thing around all day. Good stuff. Well, good episode, boys. I'm going to go through here. Let's see how we all did. Mark, let's start with you. Oh, come on, man. Don't do me like this.

I'm sure it means nothing. I have points for good or great. The man who has nothing. I steal lines. Funny joke. It was supposed to be funny joke. I don't know. Secret plot. Improv class. Rap party. Acting class.

Raging alcoholic. Mr. Hyde callback. Weed. Bob's fault. Oh, you both got a page master point. I read off to the side too. Oh, nice. Nice. Bob, you got points for ready. Linus tip. Watch band.

Which led me to think about Rock Band, which led me to think I miss Rock Band. So your watch band got you a point. Nice. Wear ball in all caps. Oh, I think when you were James throwing the ball. Park rides, the roller coasters. Made Rachel laugh. Alcohol bad.

Ooh, Craddick. K-R-A-D-I-C. Too bad. You know? Craddick too bad is definitely what that probably says. Probably. Driving ride share. Sorority no. Can they tell I'm high? And campsite biking. Mark, you finished with 5, 10, 15, 17 points. Oh.

Oh, cool. I wonder who won. Unfortunately, because you didn't get the two bonus points at the start, you started off a little behind. Bob, you finished with 5, 10, 15, 16 points, meaning Mark wins. What? No bullshitties? No bullshitties. And then I get the two extra points? And then Bob gets two extra points, but Mark does too because Pagemaster. All right, do the outro, fellas. I'll be right back. You don't need me.

All right. That's your loser speech, right? Oh, wait. Loser speech. Yeah. I mean, I suck. Look, I suck so bad. I quit the podcast. Bye.

And there you have it. No bullshitting. Bob quit. High stakes here. I'm proud to have won the last episode of Distractible. Just sad I won't be able to host another with this win. What a finish. Many crimes were admitted in this episode. If they were cut out, that's the editor's fault and the body shall remain buried, I guess. But hopefully, you know, all

will be as they are. Bob is currently running away from the police. They're coming for him. We can only hope they catch him. He does.

He deserves it. Well, if you haven't already, go follow Bob. He's my skirm, wherever he is. Markiplier, he'll be hosting an episode with no one else there because he won. And I'm Wade, Minion777 or LordMinion777. We have merch, distractiblestore.com. Stay tuned for whatever the three of us get into next. Prison life, nothing. New friendships because this one ended. Who knows? Yeah. But until that time, podcast out.
