Anything Goes (Part 4)

This episode of Distractible blends comedy, absurdity, and satire to explore a mix of tech, media, and real-world oddities. It begins with promotional content for Chat GPT Work, which enables users to create structured documents using AI, followed by a detailed yet humorous take on OpenAI’s Sora video service, which shut down due to extreme costs and controversy with Disney over AI-generated content featuring explicit imagery. The show then pivots to a series of ridiculous, satirical segments: a mayoral campaign in South Africa that gained attention by snorkeling in a leaking city water pool, a farcical claim that penguins are accelerating climate change through increased breeding, and a bizarre real event—the wife carrying race in England—where couples race with partners upside down. The episode also touches on unrelated but funny topics, including a teenager in New Zealand who accidentally donated a gun and marijuana to charity, and the absurdity of AI-produced content. Through these absurd narratives, the podcast delivers a sharp, self-aware, and entertaining commentary on technology, human behavior, and the boundaries of AI, all wrapped in its signature style of exaggerated humor and deadpan delivery.

Hi, welcome to Distractible. The show where you're going to laugh and laugh and laugh because of these two funny gentlemen right here and sometimes me. This one's named Bob. No, I guess this one's named Wade. And that one's named Bob. Very funny. Eh? Yeah, yeah. And don't forget about our editors. Editors make 'em laugh. Ah, fart noises never get old. Good one, boys. Good one, good one, good one. It was okay. over here judging farts who are you to judge farts are you the host seriously are you the host who's hosting i don't know that is a good name for an episode we judge each other's farts that's such a good name god brings me back to the fart genie there's no other level to it either it's just judging each other's farts that's a tough one i think that one has to have homework right i feel like you have to record every fart you do for like a week or a month or something and then we we bring them in so we can talk about it that's a tough one but i feel like that'd be worth it have you seen the tiktok about the guy who's trying to fart max no what's he like eating beans and stuff like oh man he was eating so much more than beans what does it mean to fart max is that a phrase he well the video is like he's like and now welcome to episode 39 of fart maxing i've got some super kimchi here along with some fiber and some pickle juice and some some uh high starch beans for maximum volume oh extra fart beans yeah and then he got some spicy peppers in there i was like i think this is going to be the greatest concoction i've ever had and it just turns to him on the toilet being like i am in the most pain i've ever been in my life fart max failed i'll get him next time boys i kinda hate that yeah i'm glad my algorithm didn't think that i was super into that because i only saw two of his videos well now that we've mentioned it it definitely will show up that sounds like a much funnier version of the have you seen the day 300 of spraying dog medicine on my hands until i could see it i don't know if you've seen it i don't know if you've seen it i don't know if you've seen it i don't know if you've seen it i don't know if you've seen it i didn't punch through brick walls guy i forgot about that yeah what happened to him is he's like still going he's over a year it's awful literally he does it and his hands sound like they're made of god i don't even know somehow glass or something that's horrific why would you want that he reached a point where his hands are so calloused that like they give off they have like constant static charge so if he just holds his hand near rice he can like levitate rice because his hands are so fucking his hands just like like are infinitely statically charged because he's just fucking shoving him in buckets of rice 24 7 oh man that's really funny wait you need to spend either way more or way less time on the internet you're not seeing the right stuff i think the answer is more to see that but i'm gonna go with less because i don't know that i want to there's nothing wrong look it's concerning because i wouldn't want it and i don't know who's ever gonna let that man touch them in the rest of his life but it's fascinating that this guy is so dead set on having literal hands of steel he could beat superman in a hand toughness competition presumably oddly specific so a bunch of nerds just raced into the comment section to tell me how stupid that was but i bet he could do it i really could do it i bet he i mean he's obviously gaining superpowers right now just hands nothing beyond hands the rest of him is totally normal but his hands you don't want to let him touch you you don't want to let him get a hold of you what is in the dog medicine that's what it makes me feel like i don't know what to do with it i don't know what to do with it i don't me confused so i don't know what it's made of but it's for dogs who have like i don't know if it's damaged to their pads of their feet it's stuff to toughen up the pads of their feet right oh for the pat right that makes more sense you spray it on dogs feet if they have like a wound on their pad or if they have like soft pads and they need to be tougher for walking outside or whatever like right right okay it's it's for that so it's literally for like toughening skin i have no fucking idea what it's made of why doesn't he just wear gloves because then his hands aren't covered in dog medicine what are gloves by him yeah think before you talk this guy why don't we even invite him to this i'm giving you a minus zero points why go for dog pads why not like bug exoskeletons exoskeletons yeah it's like hang out with james bucks a bug exoskeletons since i feel like every time he's brought up lately i get lumped in with the yeah wade really is like a two or three year old dude we went to dinner the other night oh yeah we don't have to god that was so funny we really don't have to relive that what happened i want to hear about james has always sort of known wade as molly's husband he crushes on her hard he loves molly and then we're like and this is wade and he's like yeah yeah hey and like keeps talking to molly he's become increasingly delusional dismissive towards wade the longer they've known each other and we were out at a restaurant so and we were getting ready to leave i think and so everyone was standing up and sort of making our way out and i was like james say goodbye to everybody like you know give give him a hug or whatever and he ran around and was like bye bye and got everyone except wade and then he's standing right in front of wade and i'm like hey buddy did you forget anybody like did you did you say goodbye to everyone and he looks up at wade directly looks right at me regards him and is like no and walks away it was brutal man he thought about it he was like i don't owe that guy shit see ya that's very funny it was so funny when he first started saying goodbyes molly and i were standing right next to bob and james cuts right across in front of me to go to molly to say bye to her first he like puts you out of the way almost he was like don't touch me i gotta talk to molly i am an obstacle in between one of his many love interests that's that's fair i'm giving you a pity point just for that wade thanks he needs it man it's tough out here hey you need that yeah it's it's real tough uh how is your life though well i'm pre-prepared for a couple more pitties i finally went to see a doctor and uh had an ekg done because i was having those heart palpitations ekg came back clean which was nice that's always good and then they put me on a heart monitor for 48 hours so i was wearing a heart monitor which i thought would be really disruptive and annoying it actually didn't really bother me at all other than the fact i couldn't shower or bathe with it which was kind of gross but otherwise didn't really bother me but i turned that in before we went to dinner uh over the weekend i turned that in on sunday no one's called me no one said a thing so i i'm guessing i'm okay or they lost it or something if it was bad news they would have called you right away definitely you're totally fine well then i'm gonna go to bed and i'll see you in the morning let me rewind to getting the heart monitor okay so i go see my normal like family doctor and he's like all right we're gonna do an akg i'll just do some normal tests and you seem fine but you know just to be safe he gave me a prescription to something i figured it was called just in case i needed it probably should have looked into that more i've got some medicine i should probably be taking that's yeah you might want to learn about that but go on molly wasn't there to tell me it was important so i forgot about it until just now my bad uh but then he's like let's get you on a heart monitor for a couple of days just to see what's going on so i had to go to a hospital to get the heart monitor they didn't do it there they scheduled me an appointment to go to the hospital i walked in with molly and the doctor had been like yeah it's gonna be really quick they're just gonna put a couple of like sensors on you you'll carry the heart monitor around it'll be easy it shouldn't be a quick appointment whatever then they'll have you drop it off cool so we go to the hospital and i check in and they send me to another place where i check in again make sure i'm in the right spot double checked in molly and i sit down and the lady comes back right away and calls my name it's like oh man so fast there's some people waiting but they wanted me first this is excellent and uh molly starts to go back with me because after the uh i forgot to ask questions about my medicine debacle she's like i will be with you every step of the way from this point on so she goes to go with me and the lady that calls my name is like patient only you have to wait here and the look molly gave i thought the lady was gonna die on the spot but she held firm and made me go back by myself and i was like well they're just putting on a heart monitor how this it's gonna be fine like whatever they take me back to a room it's a big room i was like man this is a large room for a simple thing but okay that's fine is there an audience in the rafters is there like a circle room it's an operating theater there's three other nurses in the room oh good and they start striking up a conversation with me they're like this is your name your birthday oh happy early birthday like oh thank you they're like i'm april 4th because my birthday is april 3rd like i'm april 4th i'm april 5th it's like that's weird we all three four five and they're all like oh we're just we're excited to have you here and i was like great why are there so many of you for this are you so excited and why are you excited never seen a freak like you before wow yeah it's like i'm just here for a heart monitor but i've hey everyone yep i like chatting with people there's people i got an audience i'm happy and they sit me down keep asking me some questions and they're like all right well this is gonna be pretty simple procedure it'll take about 45 minutes or so and i was like procedure 45 minutes these are words that don't sound like putting on a heart monitor come to find out they were going to be doing some like super stress tests or something and the only reason they figured out that it wasn't the supposed recipient is i guess they finally saw through the gray and the bald and realized i wasn't 78 years old but for the first however many minutes i guess i convinced them i like that part of the conversation was about your birthday too you sure was so they were thinking about that and they in their head they were like man he looks great wow it was born in the 50s wow they had my name right too so they must have had the right cover sheet but the wrong back sheet or something i don't know but they had they had a good mixture of correct and very incorrect information there's a deaf 90 year old in the waiting room named wade just saying they'll call me any second now oh is this what performs the test yeah you take this you go home and we'll call you in a couple of days i really thought i was getting more done than this doctor said there would be more nurses to talk to always always love attention yeah same you're all the same so anyway when they finally figured out that i was the wrong patient this is like 10 15 minutes in another nurse comes she's like hey come with me sorry we really know what we're doing here today i promise it's just it's a little hectic and i'm like okay good so can i have my wife come back they take you to another room with a huge machine that says anal probulator and they're like all right lay down face down wait a minute which weight are you oh shit it was wade day at the hospital i should have known we scheduled by name i always tell them that's a terrible plan they had the lady that came back and got me she apologized for the mix-up i was like can i come back and she's like this will be too fast no you don't need her and it's like man she takes me to the equivalent of a broom closet this is a much smaller room there is barely sitting room in this one and i've really missed the nice big stress test room but this room felt a lot more apt for the very minor just get out that happened and then she was upset i've got like i'm not a super hairy person but i do have a little bit of hair on my chest and she was like i was hoping you'd be one of the hairless ones and i was like excuse me she's like well i forgot my razor give me a second i was like okay so then she leaves and then she comes back with like a little handheld like a razor and just like all right that'll be good enough but she was very upset that i had any amount of body hair i guess i was supposed to be a olympic swimmer when i came in but i wasn't quite prepared she looked at your head and was like i really hope it carries down i guess so yeah i felt shamed this guy hates hair i felt very shamed for having any amount of chest hair but then she put the i think it was like five sensors on pressed a couple booty dupes on this beeper thing put it in my pocket and she's like all right here's a paper write down when you have any issues write down the time here's where you return it i'll circle it okay fun i walked out and i i molly looked like that girl from willy wonka who ate the blue candy was like swelling into like red rage over time she was very unhappy oh okay not she wasn't like swelling up she was a human blueberry well blues i guess the wrong color she was turning red with rage is what i'm trying to say i just did it wrong you know wrong color wrong fruit wrong movie probably but okay i walked out and i was like look i've got the and i i mean she looked like her eyes were about to shoot lasers because one i was a lot faster than 45 minutes but she thought she's gonna sit out there for 45 minutes too she was there to go with me and she kind of had a hectic morning to make sure she could go to the appointment just waiting room and then i started telling her about the mistakes and how like oh yeah i could go to this other room you could have definitely come back to that one oh i should have never said those words because man oh man we got out quickly and it was probably for the best because uh she was not a happy camper with being dismissed by the people that took me to the wrong room and all she's like i need to go make sure the right things happen no we've got him we're gonna go do the stress test on your 78 year old husband i the context could not be more different but man do i feel that rage about not being allowed back in the room it was mandy's pregnancy which it was during like covid time so everything was weird and it was it's a different context because i understand that they have rules about like oh let's make sure let's give the woman a chance to be separate from the man who's accompanying her to make sure that like if she has a problem she can talk to us because that is like that's a reality that's fine but man every fucking time we did anything because mandy had like a doctor's visit or more a week during time would be like well can i go with her for this one she's really anxious today because you're gonna jab a needle into our our fetus baby in her belly and they're like no you wait out here like okay thanks great i'm glad this isn't stressful for anyone i'm sure my wife will love handling this by herself i fucking hate that again totally different context than i understand generally but oh my god i hate that so much especially because like for this one holly didn't have to go with you she wanted to go with you she was trying to like help or you know just make then for them to be like oh you you were not allowed like okay yeah they dismissed her like i mean they were very like just like no you'll wait here yeah well they do it they must do it a hundred times a day because every even at the maternity doctor they were just like you can't come in get out of here like i was an idiot and i should have known that i'm like this is my first time ever doing any of this so i why would i know that okay no i have i feel that very deeply whatever that rage molly felt that's the worst but it's fine they didn't only almost did the wrong thing for you very close but yeah no not quite they got you good enough which is what i look for in my medical procedures yeah love good enough whenever i go to the doctor i'm like hey i got this lump i don't really want you to put too much effort out but could you take a good enough look at it that i'll probably be fine and i really appreciate it it's all my insurance will cover well they did good enough and then of course i had the best least stressful no palpitation weekend ever and then i turned that thing in sunday and then yesterday my chest was just we're sitting down we were watching a movie while they were just watching a movie and all of a sudden my chest was like remember me asshole i was like fucking why and again another like two hour episode she just manufactured it i don't know what it would be but you should have sought out experiences to like stress yourself out so when you take it off and turn it in you're just like god what a weekend they'll have to believe me i didn't know watching a movie would trigger i don't know like maybe i was warm like my cat was sitting on my lap was it a scary movie no it to be honest it was a few good men like tom cruise movie from the 90s very yeah it's not very scary at all very mild courtroom drama like i would say it might have been because you were sitting down because that can have a pretty heavy effect on heart symptoms like that but i find it hard to imagine context in which i think you'd be standing up so i feel like that's your natural state of being well one of my mistakes i did go on a walk i was like oh my god i'm gonna die i'm gonna die i'm gonna die on saturday and it was a nice warm day i got like halfway into this walk like 20 30 minutes into this walk and i like for whatever reason i had like a i don't know cartoon flashback of like reading the paper me holding the paper and it's like try to avoid activities that may cause you to sweat and it's a hot kind of humid day and i'm halfway into this walk starting to like drip sweat from my bald head i was like oh no i was like i gotta walk back i just like look and there's this hill and then the hill grew as i looked at it and i just was like real slow walking back like standing in the shade for a minute like yeah wouldn't want to sweat that might get my stickies to unsticky why have i done this i'm a little surprised you didn't just lay down in the shade and call molly to come pick you up i'm not a quitter i was gonna make it back hey getting picked up and being brought back counts as making it back i'm pretty sure i don't know i that doesn't sound like finishing the walk whoa whoa whoa finishing the walk is not what we were talking about making it back home safely is what we were talking about but anyway that's it as of right now still occasionally have a little chest burp fluttery feelings no pain everyone just keeps asking how the pain is it's like if i had to give it a number it'd be like a one or a two there's not really pain it's just like i kind of noticed that it feels like my chest drank a lot of soda and is burping in the wrong organs oh it's nothing oh nothing at all no pain just burping into my spleen just you know random gas pockets going into my liver it's it's like a weird fluttery fluttery like i don't feel i don't know my pancreas is jumping today but you know it's not that bad whatever but i'm alive for now so that's good we're all alive for now that's the promise thanks joker i don't know why i was i heard problem coming out of your mouth at the end of that one i thought he was gonna say that's the problem all right all right all right enough fun now's the time not for fun i was having so much between being blown off by james and wearing a heart monitor i can't wait for the less fun oh you get about to be blown off by me because i was struggling excuse me i'm gonna blow you off so good oh man i hope that's not a markiplier promise we'll both we'll take turns blowing you off yeah exactly guys my heart can't take this so i was traveling internationally and that's my excuse for not coming up with the perfectest crime which is something that i made a very bold proclamation that i would have ready and it would be like it's going to be the perfectest crime this is where it would be awesome if i suddenly said just kidding and unleashed the perfectest crime upon you and then like informational packets would be hand delivered to you in your office doors and so get ready for anything goes part whatever i i even thought about doing that other episode where it's like we the the opposite of the one i did before but i'm going to save that because um now that we're doing weekly there are more opportunities for things to have happened in the wider world uh you know international events and whatnot gaming news of various types that have occurred horrible upsets that have uh plagued society that are being put to the forefront it's time to break it all out because boy howdy i couldn't figure the rest of uh the perfectest crime out again i was traveling internationally i i did a i did a flight out to thailand and and that's a 20-hour journey and then did it right back stayed one day and turned right back around that's a lot of flying for one day and you'd think if i was up on a plane yeah i would be able to just like brainstorm and thinking they're right trapped in a room with nothing but your thoughts and a writing utensil you're right and i sure did i know that sounds rough but i have to do the same thing this week only it's eight hours and i'm driving and it's nationally not internationally i'm traveling nationally and i'm traveling less but it's basically the same internet not internationally internationally internationally inside of a nation yeah not outer national international just to give you guys some more time to get up there uh you know those little delivery robots that prowl the streets that fall off the curb and go please help me up please help me up and nobody helps them because they're like fuck you we're a little robot i haven't heard that uh so i i always thought those things were like little and weak and and they could barely drive just in the past few weeks those little delivery robots have smashed through bus shelters twice yikes they've smashed through the glass of a bus shelter just what do these things look like hold on they look like very large remote controlled coolers yeah yeah they're not like car sized or anything but that is stronger i would i would have thought they'd be little pushovers i would it seems bad that they could cause that much damage you want to see a video of it i have one yeah yeah it was a joke but i there was a whole i think it was a npr journalist who did a whole piece on this place in england which was one of the first cities to implement this sort of like delivery robot scheme as as like a city-wide service kind of thing and literally she she has a she did a very long like journalistic look at it and there she had all these clips of them like falling over or getting stuck and being like hello i am stuck please pull me out of this mud like being really kind of funny but kind of obnoxious and none of them destroyed anything yeah well the uprising has begun so beware that's not good yeah check this out oh no bro does he realize oh he blinks god i hate that if they're gonna have a blink they should have to do like a little like he's an animal like he's all blink blink and just carries on so i'm i'm hoping that this isn't like because you never know these days with like ai videos and whatnot because there's a little bit of a jump there but it seems like it's not it does have a weird sort of jump and it's real it's got a ton of aliasing so it's pretty hard to tell this honestly looks like it could be like otr in cincinnati do you know where this is some like st louis this is chicago chicago okay it looks like some midwest city oh they ripped off cincinnati to begin with so it's right that sounds right yeah that that tracks uh but anyway so that was one of two incidents that we're going to be talking about next week and we're going to be so watch out for those they apparently have way higher torque than you could possibly imagine low speed extreme torque they will break your kneecaps backwards and then keep going i have also seen videos of those things getting absolutely fucking demolished in crosswalks because they do have to they cross roads and they follow they follow the rules of the crosswalk without any of the human intuition that keeps humans alive and there are plenty of clips of people just not stopping and turning around and doing things like that so i'm hoping that you guys are watching this and if you're watching this and you're watching this and you're watching right on red and just like because they they're little guys and they don't destroy cars cars destroy them and i will say this i will never order from one because i'd be embarrassed to meet it outside has anyone you guys who are in the audience ever ordered from one of these things i think the only context i can imagine that and then see this is the thing too is i was a lazy college kid but i have seen that these are popular in like college towns where it's like you can order you order some food or you order some something from a convenience store type place and it brings it like brings it to your dorm because you live because you know that's big business there's however many hundreds of kids all living in one building so it makes sense for them to but even still even in college i was such a lazy college kid i could still walk up the street to go to the gas station or walk down the other way to go to the kroger or whatever like it wasn't that wasn't that hard and it would be very embarrassing also this was specific but the hall that mark and i lived in our freshman year of college do you remember the big fucking steps from calhoun street down to to get into sit all oh yeah yeah the the two levels down there i just love the image of one of those things getting to the top of those and to just be like this episode is brought to you by chat gpt hey it's bill simmons from the bill simmons podcast have you guys heard about chat gpt work it's the new way to use chat gpt for bigger multi-step projects and when you need more than just answers give chat gpt work access to your apps and files and it can create real work documents like spreadsheets slides and structured reports get started at chat gpt.com by selecting work mode available on plus and pro plans like all the way down trying to get to the dorm uc would not be an ideal campus for those things no every 50 feet there's another stairs up or down or steep hill or yeah well they've got the torque for hills apparently yeah i mean they can just plow right through one of the walls now some of uc's buildings they could probably get through the walls there's some old buildings in some spots do you see they're tearing down the old cement sadness tower whatever that crowley whatever that one was called oh no why it looked like a soviet prison it's like the largest single poor concrete structure yeah something like that it was an expensive and huge pain in the ass to take down i did hear that it was obscenely expensive just to remove that building it is full of concrete it is one big slab that thing probably doesn't want to come apart they're just like the wheels of progress i don't know they're getting rid of it so they can build some new building that'll look horrific or be really stupid in 30 years i don't know yeah i think it was honestly as much as it's been really difficult to remove i don't know i don't know i don't know i don't know i don't think it was so old that it was like parts of it were uninhabitable because it was no longer like it was no longer watertight and there were literal there were like areas that were just quarantined off because they were flooding or every time it rained it blew whatever ring so as much as it's hard to take down it's i think it was also just a really old shithole because it's just an old building but hard to fix potholes on a building and it's hard to rewire something like that probably i've never seen a concrete patio slab last for more than a decade i have a hard time imagining why a concrete building was ever a good idea but so it goes hey you know dams can last but you know whatever that's true now we're getting into the real competition so anything goes guys entertain the audience at home they are yearning yearning for the comedy they were promised it oh that's what we're supposed to be i've been doing this whole time oh should i flip to see who goes first oh i suppose head bob tails wade well usually it's the other way but i'm going to switch it up this time whoa oh head bob That's me. I'm Head Bob. Bob, actually, you go now, even though you technically offered up the Cincinnati thing. Hey, I got good news. I love good news. Sora is shutting down or has been shut down. Eh? Right. This is the sign. The bubble is bursting. I don't know. I'm verging on a Trump impression there. But if you don't know, OpenAI has many services. And OpenAI is the company that runs ChatGPT. One of the things they had that was terrible to behold and shocking to look at was a service that would generate videos from text prompts. So you could make a video of Will Smith eating spaghetti, so on and so forth. The service was called Sora, and it has been or is imminently will be shutting down. The reasons for this are not as victorious as I might have hoped, but still, you know what? I feel like it's a win for society. This is probably the biggest, like, most widely known AI product that I think I've seen going offline because it's not. I mean, the reason it's not good, it's because it's not profitable. But it's not like they had an epiphany and they were like, oh, this isn't good for people, is it? Oh, we are sort of stealing copyrighted works. They don't give a shit. They have not come around on any of those issues. But it's shut down because probably speculation is that OpenAI is looking to do it. And it's not like it's going to be an IPO, an initial public offering, essentially to become a publicly traded company. It's what you do to then have, you know, be on the stock exchange, basically. And when you do that as a company, you have to open your books to the public. You have to open, or at least to investors, you have to open up your books and people have to look at how much money you're making, how much money you're spending. Are you a profitable company? Apparently, while the results of it were pretty crazy, technically speaking, and pretty terrifying, humanly speaking, apparently it was costing them something like $15 million a day just to run the compute power required to run Sora as a service, which just, again, generates short video clips from words. So you just tell it what you want. I want a video of a person wearing a trench coat, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. It generates video, whatever. But $15 million a day, I can tell you, I don't think consumers are paying $15. million plus dollars a day to get videos that they can post on their Facebook page so that their grandma will like it or vice versa. Yeah, because it was such a money-burning garbage fire, they were like, let's shut that down so that investors will actually maybe invest. But anyway, I just feel like that's generally a victory for humananities. Human, what's that word? Humananity. Humananities. I'm a human man, and that's a victory for us humananities. Humanan. Human. Human. Like, this rides on the coattails, not if, wait, unless you were going to say something about the Disney thing. Of the Disney thing. Okay, no. Okay, the Disney thing. So this is simultaneously coming along the legs of OpenAI had a Disney deal for like a billion dollars. It was like, Disney was like, yeah, you can use all of our property to train your AI. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And that was a week or two later, Disney was like, we're getting out of the deal. I can't. I can't imagine why. I'm not sure what terms, but also I'm like, who at Disney thought it was a good idea? Like, yeah. Who allowed that? Disney is so protective, typically, of their stuff that that's wild. They were like, yeah, use it. Yeah, well, who would do something bad with an AI product? It's only used for good stuff. Yeah, yeah. See how it's making the world better all around us? It's so good. They just didn't like the AI Diz Hub. The what? I think he's going for a mashup of Pornhub and Disney. And he called it AI Diz Hub. I totally came with you on that journey. And I do. Thank you. I respect how accurate that is, because 100%, the first query that they had, someone was like, oh, they have Disney IP in the video generation thing. Naked Elsa sucking on. Immediately. The absolute first thing that someone typed in was something horrific with some Disney property. 100%. Olaf's nose, but it's actually a penis. Off-sex robot dildo nose. Help me, Step Snowman. I'm melting. And then we got sued by Disney. Yeah, it's on the way. Allegedly. Allegedly. We're being allegedly sued by Disney. No, no, allegedly all the things we said before. Oh, yes. Allegedly, that stuff I said. Yep, yep, yep. Anyway, I gave you a point for AI Diz Hub, so it's on the record that that was your idea, Wade. That's Wade's idea. Yep. Yeah. That was it. The Wade's point, Wade's idea. That's just go after him. Just go after him. Wade invented that. That's why it's an LLC for limited liability company. How quickly can someone change their name? You just switch with that old guy. That's true. That guy's like, I got the wrong test. I'm being sued by Disney. This is a terrible week. FBI kicks down your office door like, you're under arrest. And you're just like, what? Oh, you must be looking for that younger Wade. Oh, look. I don't have any hair. Look how old I am. Oh, I must be a guru. A guru. They said a ghoul. A ghoul. Yes, I must be a ghoul. Ooh. A ghoul. Fear me. Ooh. All right. All right. Fun time's over for you, Bob. You've gotten enough points. Not nearly. Wade, your turn. Let's turn the globe a little bit. We're going to Johannesburg, right? Over in South Africa. There's a mayoral candidate who's really trying hard to get the city to root for her, vote for her. And by doing so, she decided to go snorkeling. It's a big campaign. Vote for me. But do you know why it's effective? Because where she went snorkeling was just like an average city street where they've had a water leak for years that they haven't fixed. So she went snorkeling in this big pool of just pissing out water that's been wasted for how many years? What? I don't know how long. It's been going, apparently, a very long time. Did she put some chlorine tablets in first? Based on the pictures, it certainly doesn't look like it. She did look for fish in the muddy, gross-looking water, but I don't think she found any. Oh, I think I got one. Ah, another turd. Ah, damn it. Ah, I'll find it down. This place is known as the City of Gold, apparently. The pool has been there for about three years. They call it a pool of water. Oh, gosh. And it looks like it's been there for about three years. It looks like just mounds of dirt with, like, a house across the street, and there's, like, water kind of. Maybe it's just water she's splashing out. It's got this really shitty little, like, do-not-cross tape line to keep people out, half-collapsed. And then this picture. Hold on, maybe I should share the picture. There's a single boot in the background. A little good boot. A single boot. There you go. See her splashing. There's the little tape line, and there's the boot. There's a boot. There's a boot. There's just a boot. I forgot the whole she's-running-from-air thing. I thought this was just. Some random. All right. She's running-from-air. Via AP News, which is all my comedy news. I always take it from them. That's really gross. I'm sure there's only good stuff in that hole. Is she in the lead? No clue. This was the event. The article just came out a few days ago, so I'm not sure that they've had any kind of election since that. All right. Okay. Well, that's horrifying. Well done. I'll give you a point. I don't know why I did, but I'll give you one. Okay. All right, Bob, back to you. Did you guys. Did you guys know that penguins fuck? Yeah. I have a loose idea of it. Wait, do they lay eggs? They do lay eggs. I'm going to blow your mind about birds if you want to go down that path. I don't know the details of it, but I was just trying to make this article sound exciting. Guys, I figured out who's causing global warming. Oh, man. Everyone is all up in arms that it's corporations. Spewing carbon monoxide and other greenhouse gases and record unprecedented levels and blah, blah, blah. They're mewing? They're mewing to carbon gases? I said spewing. Oh, spewing. I heard mewing. Okay, never mind. Anyway, it's not them, guys. It's penguins. Specifically, king penguins that live in a sub-Antarctic island chain have found a 40% increase in their. breeding success rate thanks to warming temperatures. The change in climate has allowed their breeding to begin almost a month earlier than it normally does. And this has increased their breeding success rate, which has increased their proliferation as a species. It's 20,000 king penguins that live in a sub-Antarctic island chain. They're doing this so that they can more effectively bang each other and make new generations. It's just science. Okay, and so they're fucking so much that it's causing global warming? Oh, no, they're just causing all of the extra emissions and stuff and oil. Oh, so they're making it happen so that they can have more babies. They were concerned about the great king penguin replacement theory, so they're just dominating the world and doing whatever they have to do. to do so that their species may prevail, humans be damned. humans and other inferior species really all of the rest of us it's these penguins guys it's definitely not corporations or anything like that it's definitely not humanity it's these penguins because i can tell you what climate change is not helping humans have any extra sex we got that we're pretty much maxed out on that sex maxing yeah we're sex maxed but these king these king penguins have figured out that causing climate change will i mean a 40 increase in sex 40 that's pretty good imagine imagine everyone out there imagine think about it a lot it's these penguins guys it's a serious issue and i think we really need to address it by which i mean we should probably carpet bomb these penguins out of existence and that'll probably solve all our problems i've been on social media too long my first thought was how many people are going to be like whenever you said 40 percent more sex imagine they're gonna be like well 40 percent more of zero still zero where are you on social media that's populated by all of our parents you know twitter set to only dads who tweet mode bunch of just sad like oh man a lot more sex including multiplying my amount of sex it's still zero wade's only social media is just r slash divorce dads set a subreddit i'm going there right now i had to i'll 100 is it's gotta be that sounds like something real i'm sure it's a happy fun place got 10 000 weekly oh man it's people asking for help oh that's not funny it's supposed to be funny come on reddit i didn't expect it to be funny who would have thought it would be funny oh man it's talking a lot about child support questions all right listen i wasn't looking for actual divorced dads who are look i was thinking we've talked about him before uh graham barrett on tiktok and how he opened up his own channel and he's like oh my god i'm gonna be like oh my god i'm gonna be that's what i was thinking r slash divorce dads would be all right where's the funny one r slash divorce comedians real divorce dads or i don't know whatever it is no just just divorce comedians well isn't that just all of them oh maybe look if brian reagan can't make it work i don't know who can so i haven't seen that guy i hear good things from you too he is probably one of the defining stand-ups who shaped the type of jokes that i make on a daily basis so yeah same you have all you have him to thank for all of this you're welcome maybe that's why i haven't watched he's gonna be in ridgefield connecticut connecticut what happened to both connecticut he's gonna be in connecticut and connecticut ridgefield i saw ct and i was like god i hope this is connecticut he's gonna be in ridgefield ct i rolled gambled and i made it i mean your how many c states there are you guys sing the little song look it's actually texas it's the commonwealth of texas come on get with it common texas what about common texas you know 1580 bct before common texas so they keep time down there that was a sweet calendar joke thanks man all right cool how many points is that worth you oh man a million and a half me just took the lead all right wade keep it going wait whose turn yeah it's wade all right listen we talked about some about horny steel pipes because there's a pipe in japan that grew 32 feet overnight and nobody knows how wait what a giant underground pipe rose 10 meters out of a construction site overnight and everyone was like who did who did this as of the release of this information which was a couple weeks ago no one knew why it happened is this in tokyo no in osaka in osaka there was a steel pipe it looks like a bridge support this is a big pipe something happened that caused it to rise 32 feet out of the ground and everyone was like man they did some they did some work last night show me the pipe you see this pipe you see this pipe right here oh what the fuck apparently this part was like down here and it just whoop overnight this isn't just like a pipe going horizontally this is a pipe this is a pipe that looks like i don't even know what to equate this to a tunnel it's like it's like the willy wonka elevator just the thing that is around the elevator holster you know the holster yeah yeah the elevator holster yeah yeah yeah it came up out of the ground i think they're just leaving one important piece of information out of this article that makes it all make sense when it came up out of the ground it happened overnight so not a lot of people were around but when it came up from emanating from all around but also from nowhere was just this classic sound that just went bloop bloop bloop oh that would have been a much better description of what it is and then and then an italian guy jumped out of it is this a big promotional stunt for the super mario galaxy movie super mario 2 chris pratt's gonna come climbing out of the pipe any minute now uh hey guys it's me mario wahoo hey luigi you like you know it's a high you're high jumper wow brother or it's much more serious and all people from italy are a lot of people from italy are a lot of people from italy are going to be evacuating to japan via this pipe right now osaka is the new rome a tan italian guy climbs up out of the pipe it goes ah adios mio but an italian help me we will trade you our pizza for oh some haba i tried some pizza hibachi hibachi sounds really good right now you guys want to go hibachi let's go after this recording please oh can we record videos at hibachi can we just do an episode that's just our reaction to hibachi just a camera set up and and we're just like the the flame or whatever and we're just like have you seen that video of like it's a bunch of guys just that threw like a molotov down a long big empty pipe and so it's some kind of mesh on top so the some of her standing over and somebody and they're filming down and you see it go down way way far super far down just falling for like five six seconds straight and then it hits the bottom and like this wall of flame comes up and all the guys are just like just like naturally just because it just comes out as a human thing just oh it just it was very monkey like that's 100 how i would react if i was standing over that when it happened i'm not a no judgment whatsoever i get that yeah just uh it's just something like that reminds me that oh yeah we came from apes oh would they drop it like a propane pipe like why why is it a big booze it must have been like a big dig hole from uh who knows what yeah had some gas in the but it was wasn't a good idea i assure you this especially standing over it that's fucking awesome what are you talking about i know from history of growing up that molotovs were never a good idea because i had some friends that were like i don't want to have to start a campfire what if and then it always went downhill from there yeah there's a lot of awesome bad ideas great name for an episode too we should definitely do awesome bad ideas you're welcome we should give out awards for them maybe name them after some classical scientists of some sort all right awesome bad ideas i'm calling that for a future episode that's great that's great oh i didn't realize you were dibsing that i'm dibsing it all right well well if you one of you beat me to the punch i'm not gonna be too upset i won't remember unless it's the next episode i don't even remember what the the thing that i'm supposed to do the opposite of the thing that i did before you know i don't even remember that i don't know what you just said i don't either i found an episode that was really good i don't even remember what you just said i don't remember what you just said i don't even remember what you just said i don't even remember what you it's not what it sounds like it's called the wife carrying race we all have those now and i'm pretty sure our wives would let us carry them and i'm pretty sure they would encourage us to race while doing it yes they would yeah if you win the race you get a barrel of ale i mean where do we sign up this sounds pretty awesome all you have to do is go to yes this is a real place dorking in surrey which is in england if you go to dorking on the right sunday of the year you can participate in the wife carrying race it's a real place it's not too terribly far outside of london from the my quick glance at a map that i took a minute ago this is not how i expected them to be carried i'd like to find a picture of this yeah i know it's it's not about aesthetics it's about efficiency mark it's inglorious it's about sending a message i don't know what the message is like a dog chasing a car i guess it wait are you looking up at the picture of this oh i see it yeah yeah yeah that's i guess that's efficient you know the more i think about it i'm more like yeah i guess be a lot more awkward if they flipped around the other way so for listeners and also because i'm not sharing the picture anyway the picture is of a guy sort of standing pretty upright and his wife is like face down over his shoulders and his head is like between her legs so her legs are out in front of him and he's holding her hand and she's like holding her legs and then she her top of her body is hanging down his back kind of like a backpack but then she's grabbing around so she's holding on to her own legs and sort of like helping him carry and balance it's effective i think the worst part of this is it's a quick race but the woman has to be basically upside down the whole time you must get a terrible head rush if he stops all of a sudden she's gonna break her nose how hard do you think his ass is i don't know based on carrying and running probably pretty firm i don't think this picture is of the winning couple but the winners this year were two finnish i think it's finnish right yes two finnish people timu tuvinen Tuvainen, Tovinen, oh man, no chance, and Hata, Leinonen, Leinonen, zero percent chance those are right. Both finish, apparently a finished couple, in one minute and 45 seconds, which is pretty fast. It's not a very long race. We could do distance racing, I feel like. I'd be better at distance racing. I'm not really a sprinter, you know. No one is disadvantaged at this. There's no height advantages. I feel like we would all be on pretty good footing. I mean, if anyone's a disadvantage to me, because I probably, I would say I'm in the worst shape of us in terms of just like running ability. I actually don't know. You've been walking every day, right? I swear I have not done any cardio at all, because if I do any cardio at all, I am dead for the rest of the day. I go up a hill and I'm out of breath. It's truly terrible and I need to fix that. I hear if you go up enough hills, it gets easier. Okay. And you get to listen to Kate Bush while you do it. I don't get that one, but I'm sure. It's funny. That's that stupid song. Was that from Stranger Things? Well, that's where it's known from. I don't know. Oh, oh. If I only could. Kate Bush? I'd be running up that hill. I get you. Okay. Yeah. Say it. God, we had an old episode where I got critiqued for saying God so many times. Do it. I didn't get critiqued. Who critiqued? God? Did God critique you? God got halfway through the episode and was like, I can't, man. I can't. I'm going to skip this one. Is this asshole going to? I'm going to keep doing callbacks this whole time. I've listened to every other episode. I can't do it anymore. It's fucking guy. And neither is my son. Jesus, pack up. We're going home. I'm going to confuse him with another Wade at the hospital just to show him who's boss. Oh, that bitch. Let there be 10 Wades of varying ages at this ex-visit. Let everyone for the rest of his life think that he's 78 years old. And people say Old Testament God isn't the real one. I knew it. All right. Wade, do you have one more? One more to close it out. Did you know in New Zealand, you can't own a gun before 18 and you can't possess marijuana or distribute marijuana unless it's medical. But apparently if you're a dumb teenager, you can accidentally donate your gun and marijuana to charity. So there were two teenagers in New Zealand that were apparently getting their car fixed and they had a backpack full of goodies that they actually left right outside of a charity donation center. So whenever someone saw the backpack, they're like, oh, someone. Donated a backpack and they went to go through the backpack and found a lot of weed and air pistol. What else was in the bag? Some other shit in there, whatever to make money. I think there's a bag of money and I think the person who found the bag and found all this stuff was like, I don't think we can put this up in our charity place. I'm just going to call the police. The teens came back later. Very upset. They were very agitated that they left all of their weed gun and money. It's apparently at the charity donation center. I don't think it ended well for them. If I had to guess, I don't know the full result, but, uh, how old were they? I don't know if it gives their exact age. I just get teenagers. I think they're under 18, but they're in New Zealand. So that means a day older than us, but younger, not great. A day older than us, but they spin the other way when you punch them. Yes. What? That's funny. That's that. That's where the boy is. That's a hemisphere joke right there, baby. Fuck. Good. Good one there. Good one. Yeah. I think because they're, they're under 18, I think that the, a lot of the details are probably sealed or whatever, because they're juvenile. What's the gun law in, in New Zealand? My only knowledge about it is that it's fairly strict. And I believe an air pistol is not necessarily like a, not like an airsoft gun, but it does shoot like a, well, it shoots with air it's air propulsion, but it does shoot like bullets still not like plastic BBs or, or even metal BBs. Like it shoots bullet shaped projectiles potentially, but I'm not a hundred percent sure. And I believe. I believe New Zealand has very strict laws about gun ownership and registration and stuff, but I don't actually know for sure. I would imagine. So it says that people under 18 can't possess air pistols without a license and adult supervision. So, oh, they also found a police scanner in their bags. They had a police scanner, drugs, money, air pistol. Oh, okay. This is a criminal duo. I mean, these guys just wanted to be cops. They were like, oh, we'll listen to the police scanner and we'll have this weapon just for safety. And they must've listened in and beat the cops to a drug bust and apprehended the drug dealers. And they were going to take all that stuff to the, I'm sure that's what was happening. Heroes. They're heroes. And they were hanging outside of a charity. So, you know, they're good people. Yeah. What kind of criminal hangs out outside a charity shop? That's cop activity right there. Yeah. That's copic. That's hero activity, actually. And I know what they're doing. Air rifles I knew could be powerful. There's a video called. An air rifle that's more powerful than a firearm. And I was like, there's no way. And then I see him shooting it. And this metal target is like, it's a 72 caliber air rifle. I don't even know what that means, but I know it's big. 70. Yeah. Wait, does that mean it's bigger than a 50 caliber like sniper rifle? Cause those are, those are big. Yeah. 0.72 inches. So I guess a caliber is like, that's what that is. That's like a small artillery shell. What the fuck? You should see the ones that shoot air tillery shells. Air tiller. Nice. Thanks. Thank you. I'm so scared. You're gonna beat me to the joke. Cause I was like air tiller. You just wait for Bob to give me a, to give me an in. I'll give you, give him another pity point. Hey, pity. When is still a win. All right. I'll get air tillery. Okay. Okay. I got you, buddy. All right. We're going to wrap that up there. Well done boys and boys, uh, Bob, uh, you got dog handman, dog, hand medicine, dog, hand medicine, man. That's right. Dog hand, man. That's what it is. All right. You got Wade dismisser, anal probulator. Goodbye. Crosley tower. Sora shutting down. Yay. Global warming from penguins. Mario pipe. Wife carrying race. Hemisphere joke. Yeah. Got that hemisphere point. You got a total of nine points. There Wade now, do we count this interrupting point? I don't know if the episode started, maybe did I interrupt again? Do I get a point for that? No, it was a minus point. It was a minus. Oh shit. No, I didn't. Rewind. Yeah. No, I think Wade's right. I think it counts. I think he's on something there. Damn it. All right. Well, I guess it's in there. So that's a minus one on the interruption. Oh, I fell for it. You got minus zero for think about what you've done. I don't remember what that was. That could be a lot of things bad. This was, this one started off real rough for you. Didn't it? It sure did. But you got the James pity point, which negates the interrupting thing. So we're going to go from your EKG champion. Molly didn't tell me it was important, was hoping you'd be one of the hairless ones. Hmm. Yeah, she was. AI dish hub, which your lawsuit is in the mail snorkel and poop water, Japan pipe, Italian evacuation tube. Very funny. England and air tillery. It's nine to nine. Oh. Oh. Does that include my minus one? Yes, that did. I shouldn't have let you have that air tillery point. The air tillery really got you there. Oh, I shouldn't have let me have that at minus one. If only. All right. Well, he'll spin it. I'll go to the viewers. We'll get one spin and then it'll be a tie. Oh, I have to do that. I'm just sitting here like, wow, I can't wait for Mark to pull the wheels up. Right. Right. Right. That's my thing. I do that. We've gotten rusty only doing one episode a week. I feel after how much we were recording for two a week, especially when like Mark was like, oh, I'm going to be bathing in blood for the next three weeks. So we'll have to get ahead. Doing one a week feels like I don't see you guys for like months at a time. Yeah. But lots to catch up on. It's great. Yeah. It's fun. Even though we've actually been doing games and still spending time recording. I told you I was going to talk about something before we hit record that I didn't even talk about. And now I'm not going to. Or a saver for next time. If you don't win. All right. The total number of spins. Shall be. Oh, two. Two of them. Would you like to add, sir? Made the judge make this face. Made the judge make the Mark face. We're not going to. We're going to. What is the mark? Also, just so it's on recording, I'm going to slowly scroll this list because I didn't notice and I don't know if it's always been like this, but I click this shuffle button every time we spin the wheel just to mix them up. I'm going to click this one. all right two spins it is i can't see anything oh it's the one you just had hey wade you made me make that face because of the poop water that was literally hey that's good no have we ever had the days at edition come up i don't think so that was a less than one percent chance of that happening way back in the beginning when we had less uh entries i think it happened but it's been a long time well bob here comes your point a point for bob and a tie for mark a point for bob and a tie for mark come on wheel oh lie points don't count we don't have any lie points does that mean we respin or does that mean it's useless i forget how we've done this in the past i'm good for a respin i feel like if it doesn't apply which this doesn't there are no lie points bob and i would have taken the win well i guess doesn't count move on we have a winner most personal attacks i got attacked the most i don't know who it's yeah but is this to the attacker or attackee i don't feel like i lobbed a lot of personal attacks but i do feel like wade got picked on a little bit in this episode so i'm confused so bob you have a point for wade dismisser i'd say james made the most personal attacks but either way wade was getting attacked i think this usually goes to the person who does the attacking okay if it does then that would be to bob and it would be a tie but you're the judge so you get to the i guess you rule how you want it to go i mean i think the word of law here applies to most personal attacks meaning that they did the most which would be bob for having wade dismisser there so i think i have to call that a tie my son did that i get credit for that that's true given that he's half your dna therefore half you is still worth one whole point though right yep yep yep it sure is okay i thought you were about to lead that into and so it's one half of a point and yeah i could convolute this to get out of the wheel but i'm gonna does that mean we have to do the winner wheel spin yeah brave mark is feeling brave that is and for some of my head says it's at 23 i haven't written down it's 23 so plus two percent so at a solid 25 i think we add after don't we we add after yeah so 23 of 360 is 82.8 83 that's the last one we're going to do is we're going to do the wheel of fate it looks a lot more reasonable than 87 now it's more like what i thought it was gonna be let's throw down gentlemen the wheel of fate oh my god it was it was not even close and then it was like actually back to one man's show what the oh i thought that was a man all right that's brutal well bob good luck i'm i'm not even gonna be in town to help write it that's not good i'm the worst at writing these things oh well the bob mark show that's okay i'll write my own show yeah mark you write your own one-man show all right you get you i'll get me it resets to six percent then is that the deal yes it resets to six i could have been completely arbitrary in my judging of those previous wheel spins i feel like this is my entirely my own fault nobody wins well i guess wait does this count as a me win or not yeah i think it's nobody wins yeah nobody wins or both of you guys win i can't remember whoever does that in the subreddit tell us tell us how we do our own please tell us how this show works god we need to print out bible const like little bible size constitutional pocket constitution yeah i it's it's a living constitution by which i mean i don't remember uh anyway uh congratulations guys you somehow uh did it i think you did it you did it you both did it we did it is this a good thing that we that had happened mutual neutral speech neutrally assured destruction wait your speech first uh mark listen great episode it was weird from the start i knew things were weird last week whenever my heart was acting up and james dismissed me it only makes sense we'd have a weird ending on this episode so prepare yourselves for not weird but just one man show i guess well done i'll be okay i'm fine don't ignore the fact that i missed the mute button there for a solid 10 seconds i'm fine everything whatever face you were doing i was like is this a bit or is he dying i know that's just the face i make when it feels like i'm about to cough up my tongue oh i don't like that neutral speech a non-loser speech will call it honestly i feel a

Summary:

This episode of Distractible blends comedy, absurdity, and satire to explore a mix of tech, media, and real-world oddities. It begins with promotional content for Chat GPT Work, which enables users to create structured documents using AI, followed by a detailed yet humorous take on OpenAI’s Sora video service, which shut down due to extreme costs and controversy with Disney over AI-generated content featuring explicit imagery. The show then pivots to a series of ridiculous, satirical segments: a mayoral campaign in South Africa that gained attention by snorkeling in a leaking city water pool, a farcical claim that penguins are accelerating climate change through increased breeding, and a bizarre real event—the wife carrying race in England—where couples race with partners upside down.

The episode also touches on unrelated but funny topics, including a teenager in New Zealand who accidentally donated a gun and marijuana to charity, and the absurdity of AI-produced content. Through these absurd narratives, the podcast delivers a sharp, self-aware, and entertaining commentary on technology, human behavior, and the boundaries of AI, all wrapped in its signature style of exaggerated humor and deadpan delivery.
