It's time for Bad Mode. Now sit back and prepare to be distracted and enjoy the show. Hello and welcome to another episode of Distractable. That's right, I'm your host, the guy who's in this room today. No, it's not Mark. It's me, I'm in weird places. My name's Bob, I'm hosting because I won the last one, despite all that stuff I said in it. And I'm joined today, as always, by my two competitors, slash co-hosts, Mark at Wade. Hi, I'm going to say a bunch of stuff today, who knows where it's going to take me. Probably right to the top. I'm going to say some stuff today, which will take me to the top two, right? I almost scared teeth, probably. Anyway, if you've never been here before, I always host this episode while sitting in an unpowered halo fire team raven arcade cabinet. That's why I have this thing in my hands. Also, as the host, I will be giving the boys some sort of game or prompt or whatever, and we'll talk about it and I'll give them points, which I'll write down on this book thing. It's not my usual one, but whatever. And then they'll be a winner, and they host next one. That's how it works. Could I introduce some bias early on into the episode? - Okay. - Okay, so think about it this way, right? - Maybe. - If I were to win, that would give me enough time. Now that I have all this free time, and I'm probably going to blast through all the dungeon collar carol books in the next like day or two. So I'll be so desperate for time. I'll be able to spend time to make the perfectest crime episode ready for the next recording session. Bam Boom, it'll be the greatest episode in a stackable. You could be on the precipice. This obviously won't be the greatest episode distractable ever. Obviously, obviously, but if you fabricate a reality where I win, despite all my shortcomings, don't make a joke about that. - You got tallcomings, not shortcomings. (laughing) - Sound clip that forever. Clip that, send me the wave file. I'm going to use that in everything. (laughing) I would have sent it to game developers. You're going to, wait, you're going to be playing a game, you're just going to hear your own voice as a goblin comes in. (laughing) You're putting me in a game? I know you're making one. Yeah. - No, no, I'm going to send it to game developers. I'm not going to do that. I don't even recognize me, thankfully. - Bob, if you make me win. All this can be not yours, but mine. - I'm one poor choice away from just declaring that Mark wins right now and ending all of our sufferings. - That would be a record for shortest episode ever. I mean, where would the fun be in that? And you might have a live point on the books already for teasing us with the perfect describe. - Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh. - 'Cause it's a lie. Anyway, how's it going? You guys got any small talk? And wait, you want to introduce your own bias? You got any selling points? - Hey, I'm waiting as you heard. (laughing) I'm wicked witch of the bald. So I'm here to entertain, scare, and fly around on my snow blower. 'Cause that's what we have in Cincinnati. Snow shovels and blowers. But it's warm, the snow is melting. And whenever it gets to be warm outside, I'm gonna go on my first outside walk of the year. Inside walks, not as fun. Outside walks, much more fun. - Dude, outside walks, damn, that's crazy. - I gotta tell ya, it is so warm. It is so beautiful here in glorious Los Angeles. The rains that were coming through here, it just rained again yesterday. Rain? Rain, yeah, rain. I forgot snow could be melted when it falls. - Fargo ahead. - Not only that, there's apparently an approaching cold snap that will bring snow to LA next week. - Take it, take it. - It's probably only going to be up in higher elevations here in LA. But from what I hear, it's gonna dip down to the 40s and then the 30s here. And it's gonna be a during a moisture event. So it's gonna be likely. I mean, there are already predicting on the mountaintops it's gonna be full blanket snow coverage, like two feet of snow up on the top. But there's a chance we'll catch some flakes drifting our way. You know, just, and that would be astonishing. Amy is actually thinking of, actually by the time this episode has come out, this has already passed. So we'll know if we're buried and died in a blizzard. But Amy is thinking of cancelling a trip that she had because she's never seen snow here. It's like if she leaves and doesn't catch it, who knows when it would ever happen again. But then I said, I mean, obviously it'll happen again next year because this shit ain't gonna get better. So, you know. - And isn't that just a fun lighthearted joke we all love to laugh about? - Anyway, I'm getting a new microphone as well. - What kind of thing? - So I'm trying out a different microphone because they discontinued, I mean, blue just got bought by a large attack and so they discontinued a lot of the other models. And I never really liked this microphone that much anyway. So I'm trying out a warm audio, something, something, something 8,000. - That's a big number. - Oh, that's a big number. - All 7,999 of the other models must be jealous. - I remember when Tony Stark got in the newest Iron Man suit and said, I hear you 8,000. (laughs) Was my favorite moment. Laugh. - I don't know enough things about Marvel to understand that joke, sorry. - It's well, it was aimed at a very specific member of the audience, just one. You got it, right? Tim? - Hey, just 'cause nobody likes your weird niche, superhero movies, it doesn't mean it's a bad joke, but I'm sure somebody got that. - Anyway, in the relevancy of the now, you know, not then. I also realized that a lot of my peripherals in my computer setup are really junk and old and I have spent a long time accumulating a lot of crap. Like my Xbox controller doesn't even have a cover on it anymore and I don't know why I put batteries on it because I don't have a wireless dungal for it. Like I don't know, man. - Given that I have spent so much time and effort building up all this computer crap for all these render farms, I think I'm finally gonna do it overhaul of my entire computer recording setup. Give it some love. I'm gonna clean up this stuff. I'm gonna do a whole polishing of everything. There's a bullet. - Is it covered in goop? - It's a goopy or post goopy? - I don't know if you can show those on podcasts. (laughing) - Yeah, they definitely know I'm gun podcasts where there's like walls of guns behind them and there's just like guns on the table. - Not that I'm aware of. - I've never been able to see ourselves full frame. So whatever you just held up was completely not and it's like for me. (laughing) - It was a big bullet, huge bullet. - I believe it. It was like a.01. - It's a 5/7. - 6/7, 6/7. He said the thing. Is it possible for the bullets to just go off in? - I mean, spontaneous combustions are things. I'm sure so spontaneous shoot is a thing. - I'm sure it's not impossible, but I feel like I'd be surprised if that happened with something like that. I don't know. - Like if it fell and it hit something just right, the hit the firing pin with the bullet, go off. It wouldn't be able to go with as much speed 'cause it just could kind of like up. - No, it doesn't have a barrel, right? It would only be propelled with whatever the casing could hold. But the casing would probably explode. It would probably not be good. - Yeah, not great, yeah. It's like this little Halloween and Halloween. This is a 4th-age life fire popper. She threw it to the ground, just like, "Pee, peep, peep." Just like that. I bet I'll throw it real hard to the ground. I'll tell you what happens. But with metal fragments flying everywhere, which is probably good. - Yeah, probably. Anyway, it fell off the desk the other day and I had that thought as it was going towards the ground. So I'm fine. - That's fine. I'm sure it's fine. It wouldn't do that. - With these huge bullets, I gotta next to me, the gigantic, very manly, very red-meditating bullets, you know, around me. - I wouldn't know anything about having weapons in my area. - I see two blurs. I see one slightly blue blur and then I see some shiny off of it and then I see a-- - They're very cool arcade weapons. Don't you worry about it. - Only weapon I need is luck. Don't have it. I got this dice. - No one left. No one left with that. - No one. - Tim? Tim? He feeds off your laughings. - I do. I'm like Pennywise, except for the fear I need laughter. - So that actually reminds me of any funny scenario. So I was working on cloak stuff and we were interviewing someone for a new position and on my desk where I was interviewing, Jason had found a knife just in storage. Like we were going through storage and there was just what happened to be a knife there. Wasn't mine, but he was like, this must be yours. So he's like, he set it on my desk as I'm getting this guy that's being interviewed and coming in and on the desk is a big fucking night like it's like a foot long with a with a letter on it that says hey found this knife and I sharpened it for you Jason I had to go to the guy look I look this is an intimidation thing it's just I don't know where it's came from I've never seen this before so let's talk salary anyway it was very understanding so you don't worked out no one known was threatened or scared or anything that's exactly what someone who was very threatened and scared would say yes Mr. Markiplier I'm not scared Mr. Markiplier how do you know that guy I've met every Jason in the planet no that's Jason wasn't who I was interviewed the guy interviewed didn't I met every interview E in the planet I just want to sell some shirts I love your designs Mr. Markiplier your voice so familiar oh well you're hired now you're fired here's your severance pay oh that's good that's better than joke I was gonna made I was good because you both laughed so hard at it it wasn't funny it was just legit you know there's an epic rap battle with George Carlin versus Richard Pryor and one of the things is like when I tell jokes people laugh when you tell jokes people go that's funny I feel like I'm the guy people go that's funny the compliments of like not laughing but being told man funny really the same way I feel so warm and fuzzy inside people tell me funny I do that I feel like I do that a lot and I apologize because I do go now that's funny I do that a lot I get that a lot here yeah I don't know you do that to me too wait a minute no but to you no it's really funny when it's you wait hold on what would be really funny what you're both really funny don't trust me oh okay thanks oh no I fell for it again I got a low sense motive against his charisma rolls yep everything else all my other stats way low but my charisma I can't wait to hear your new microphone mark I'm sure I'll notice I mean I don't I doubt that it's gonna sound any better but I think from a functionality standpoint it'll just be a little nicer that's all I'm really hoping for because this one it has like this weird swivel head on the top part of it but there's no real point to that and I feel like all in all the ergonomics of this thing or just like I don't like the way I have it's it's not very elegant and I it bothers me not this microphone but my mic at my home desk setup is it sounds good it's good mic but it's really tall and then it has like a big ball thing on top and like it's just real awkward I get that it's aesthetic it looks cool but I don't care I don't want it on camera I'd like if it was much more compact and ergonomically I'm using an Newman it's a Newman TLM 107 I think it is using a Newman how would you have that so bitch forever no I had like the 105 or the 106 I got this one a couple of years ago it looked I mean it's very similar but it's the one of the newer ones look I'm not even gonna correct it because I think it's funny if you call it it's gonna piss a lot of audio heads off if you keep calling it a Newman so please do oh I'm sorry it's a man that's good keep calling it that man what's supposed to be I'm not it's no emin but whatever don't matter it's in EU how is that noise it's like German or something I don't know that's why it says Berlin I just thought it was my microphone's last name this whole time Newman Berlin my microphone it's new emin my new mic is gonna be a warm audio why 1000 is that how audio heads say that one yep I'm pretty sure no emin was at the bad guy not the bad guy Dennis Nedry what's the actor's name oh it's the bad guy on Seinfeld yeah no emin Seinfeld heads are gonna get really mad if we say sorry Steinfeld that's it wait did you do small talk probably yeah about one outside and so on it was it was it was very it was good as my jokes man it was funny it was really that was really good small talk you what if I point this to you that was really good small talk I'm the pillars on which this fell this foundation is set and then you guys are the stars that stand on top of it that's nice that's really sacrificial of you just power wash me occasionally then reseal that's just another step I don't want to take explains the cracks in the bald this episode is brought to you by T-Mobile 5G

up for this one I want to talk about what happens when you get in a bad mood you're allowed to not be in a bad mood way but we would really pile in and on so I pretty well understand if you were in a bad mood but I this is stolen from an episode of bluey where a bingo is in a bad mood and it's pretty funny there's some shenanigan but also recently I've been really bitchy and I have really bad tendencies when I'm in a bad mood not in like a oh I take it out on everyone else sort of way just in like a I'm real insufferable I don't know how much you guys have experienced me being in a really bad mood around you because usually if we're if we're hanging out or doing something we usually haven't fun but I I'm miserable when I'm in a bad mood I like because like many if I'm grumpy man he's like I want to cheer you up let me do something nice for you I'll get you your favorite food only makes it worse I don't know why I literally if someone does if I'm in a bad mood and someone does something nice for me I'm like fuck off I don't deserve nice stuff right now I hate that you did that it's like man that's a really rude really not a good way to behave but I it's how I am I'm awful when I'm in a bad mood I guess that is kind of taking it out on other people but I literally I would just go lock myself in there I would I would go away and lock myself in a room and be like everyone stay away I'm in a bad mood but then people intrude on that because I don't live in a vacuum I live with family and stuff but like anyway I've been I've been having been having some bad moods lately I felt kind of bad about that and I was curious maybe you guys could teach me how to deal with my bad moods better or if you have any funny stories or if you have a similar or you're a unique version of what how you behave when you're in bad mood I just want to talk about it I'm working some stuff out here guys help me Thera Pies me Thera Pies you Thera Pies I'm in the face hit me with the Theraps I'm gonna hit you with the Theranon Is that next to neon on the periodic table Theranon yeah yeah yeah that's it yeah yeah Theranon is the little electromagnetic device Theranon Theranon was the company that that person was made the the lady on the Forbes it's German Theranon Theranon probably she went to jail you know the lady who just straight up lied Theranos allegedly no it's pretty much conclusively proven we're not making those claims you can look it up she did not succeed in her defense and but yeah no that was man if that machine did exist you really do a lot of good stuff I actually know what you guys are referencing from what happened to my voice there what was that who I don't know I just got excited I I tell them what happened well actually you guys are referencing for once his true voice came out man oh man I can't believe it but that was not the that was not the voice that came through I'm I'm I'm a I'm very scared right now I'm very scared I'm fine I'm perfectly fine just like Bob's magic trick that scared me legitimately I actually I'm not gonna lie when Bob when you disappear in that closet I actually went where'd he go I'm not joking I fully had a second there I know I have that effect on people I'm quite the magician we here distractable incorporated our toddlers what was the question I don't remember what we're doing here what are we doing we knew about Theranos after we talked about it for a solid 90 seconds he was finally like I know what you guys are talking about for what that's right I didn't know the name but I knew the subject matter so once once it was explained is like oh I have heard that story about the lady who was yeah selling the whatever Theranos I just I felt like one of the part of the group for once you know I was on the in I knew you're literally already in imagine how we must feel knowing so many more things so much more of the time it's like a constant hi man I don't live that life but I was here once I I peaked I I was I flew too close to the no now I'm falling back down I got bad mood stuff I suppose mark your bad mood stuff - Yeah, I've been in bad moods every once in a while. - What do you do? How does it go? Do you take it out on everyone around you? Like, I apparently didn't realize until now that I do. - You only took until now to realize it? - I always thought I didn't, but the thing was, what I used to be in a bad mood, I used to also be single and alone, and so I couldn't take it out on anyone anyway, so it didn't matter. But now I realize, I actually, I'm pretty mean sometimes when I'm in a bad mood, but not in like a, I seek you out and take it out on you sort of way, but in like a, if you come too close to me, I'll be a real bitch about it, and that's also kind of, it's pretty unfair, offering nice. - For some reason, I imagine single you going to like a bar and like ask, "Hey, you want to go out?" Yeah, and then you're like, "Well, I don't!" And then walking back out again, because you're in a bad mood. - Yeah, I did that a lot. You got me. - I remember who we were all out eating dinner, and he would just like shoot himself down after he gets the yes, which is the craziest moment to do it. "No one wants to go out with me!" I said, "Yes, well, you lied!" - Actually, unironically some insults. You probably took it, probably, right? - Oh, man, that guy found Mandy. I would absolutely be that person. Uh, who gets to go first? I'm going to flip this pen, and if I catch the tip, that spark, and if I catch the clip, that's Wade. - That's a really good way to do it. - What? - I caught the clip. Wade, you go first. Bad mood me. - All right, uh, so I have just, I remember being in a really bad mood at my computer, and I have this like wrist rest, right? That I risked my wrist on. That's the whole point, wrist rest. And, uh, I don't remember what I was going to such a bad mood about, whether it was family or something, but I was just genuinely pissed off. Not even just, like, meh. I was actually like pissed off, and I just like threw a baby tantrum where I like slam my fists around, and I hit my desk, and knocked the wrist rest off, which was slightly askew to the left. Well, I had food on my desk, and the wrist rest, of course, had to hit the thing of, like, hit my drink into my food, which then knocked all of that off on me, so that I threw the tantrum and covered myself, and like, I don't remember pizza or whatever the hell it was. And then I was in, like, an even worse mood kind of, but also, it kind of reality checked me, where I was like, "Huh, me acting like baby, makes mess like baby." Now I've got to clean up this mess that I made, because I was being a big bitch for no reason. I deserve this. - It doesn't have to be a theory of the episode. You are allowed to be in a bad mood, and I feel like, like, slamming your desk and making a mess is cut, like, from our perspective, in the now that you're not in a bad mood, seem silly. I feel like, of all the things a person could do, that's not, that's pretty good. Like, if you go punch a pillow, or you go, you know, you go scream a new pillow, or you slam your desk, unless you're not hurting yourself, or like, breaking, you know, breaking your own stuff. That's like, you just kind of made a mess. That's not that bad. It may feel silly that you did that, and you're like, "Mom, I gotta clean this up now." But you didn't, like, scream at someone, or like, like, you know, that's fine. That seems okay, sometimes you're in a bad mood. - I just yelled like, "Fuck, and slam my fucking fist down "and then made a huge mess." And then, felt like, I'm still in a bad mood, but it's like, I was no longer in a ragged, self-destructive mood. It was just like, well, now I'm an asshole. I see that I'm an asshole. I have a mess to clean up, and I'm still in a bad mood. What did that accomplish? Didn't help my mood, but I guess it did help my mood, but it didn't help my mood. - It kind of sounds like it helped a little. I can't really imagine you doing that in with sincerity. I could imagine you being, like, for the bit, just be like, "Ah, I'm doing something crazy "and making a big mess." - I don't get actually mad very often. Like, I get upset or, like, annoyed. Actually, mad is very rare for me. That was an actually mad moment. - That sounds like a decently healthy way to try and stay working out. - Sounds sarcastic, but I've really tried to be sensitive. - It sounded a little circus, and I'm not gonna lie. - I look, I have the same problem with James. James, the first time he went poop on the potty, he was like, "I did it!" And I was like, "You did!" "Wow, you went poop on the potty!" And I was like, "No, wait, how do I speak sincere?" "I'm really proud of you, I love you, I love you so much." - Good job. - Yeah, no, I do that real bad. But that sounds pretty good, that's all. - Okay, if you went higher pitch, not I believe you. - I've been known to be in bad moods on occasion. I'm always fascinated by the fact that something flips in your head, and it feels good to do shitty things when you're in a bad mood. - I don't know why, but you know, it's like you just, you have these words that you wanna say usually, and you're like, "Ah, be a shitty thing to say, I don't wanna say that, I don't feel bad." But when you're in a bad mood, it's like, "Ah, of course, I'm gonna say it all." - This sounds like I'm trying to say a slur or something. (laughing) - No, I'm going for it. (laughing) Meanwhile, he's actually like, "You're a poop, poo head." - I've been in numerous bad moods, I'd say the most recent streaks were even sometimes on this podcast where I would come on, and we'd cut it out, but I just get so frustrated from all the stress and the pressure, and it would bubble out, and I'd blow up for one reason or another, and I would just have to go, and it's always like, "Dah, blow up!" And then it's like, "I go out and I talk to Amy, and then I feel better." That's like been the only thing that's made me feel better is like, "I go over and I'll be like, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh." And Amy's like, "You're being a dick." And I'm like, just, "I'm being a dick." (laughing) Instantly, it's, "Oh, I'm in your right." She just has the needle for your balloon. - And it's not like, you know, we've had fights on occasion, and we've been mad at each other, but for the most part, if she says something like that, it's just like, "Yeah, I'm not yours, sure." And I'll come back and even if I blow up and you guys come back and say, "I'm sorry, right?" Most of the time, I come back and say, "I'm sorry, "sometimes I come back and, like, I'm still mad." 'Cause Amy wasn't there or something, but, yeah, no. It's, we're gonna get Amy Cardboard cutouts for our office, just like, we're like, "All right, we gotta pass the fine mark." (laughing) You're being a dick. - You're right, you're right. It's like, "Oh, Nunezani's when I made SGP Amy." You know, the, the, the, the, the, (laughing) the light stand with the lab jacket. - Oh, with that fucking walkie-talkie that just made the crazy ass noises. - That was such a fun one. I love that walkie-talkie, it was so good. - Anyway, so yeah, I, in the most recent, that's the most recent bad moods. I've got plenty more, but, yeah. Bob, have you ever blown up with us? - I'm, I'm a, I'm a shover downer. I've definitely, I've definitely been in sessions where I was in a bad mood. I think I could say it's never been related to you guys or because of you guys, but I've come in in a bad mood because of other stuff. But I'll hold the whole time. I've just like, "Let's keep going." But I think, I think if you, if someone who knows me watch carefully, they could tell because the whole time my comedy is a little bit more assaulting and a little bit more like it comes. It's not like I'm here having a good time. It's like I'm here to take it out through jokes against people or whatever, like. - Yeah, we've done stuff enough over the years where I think we've all had moments, I'm sure, but. - Thinking about this, it's really just more like a very self-centered therapy episode. But I like this, this is good. Have you ever had a moment where you had some big realization about like how you were processing your bad mood or how you're processing emotions in general? 'Cause I've always been a very like, shove it down inside and I do process things internally. It's not like I shove it down and never deal with it, but it takes a long time to do that. And there are way more efficient ways to deal with stuff emotionally and like productive ways. Like if I'm being a dick to Mandy for reasons that are unrelated to her, it's both unfair to her. But also she could totally help. Like it's very similar to what you said, Mark. Like I am an asshole, but often if Mandy is like, look, I'm trying to be nice to you, but you're being a piece of shit. I'm immediately like, oh, you're right. Oh, sorry, like it deflates it very quickly. But like have you guys ever had any like breakthroughs about yourself or your personal journey with that sort of stuff, processing emotions? - It's a little bit less to do with bad moods, but like I learned how much of a people pleaser I am, which I think relates to like whenever I am in a bad mood, like you I internalize a lot and like I'm like, well I'm not gonna go share this with everyone else and put it on their shoulders. This is my problem and I've got to be the one to handle it. Like I can take it, I can deal with it. I've done it with my whole life. But like even at a young age when my parents split up, I remember being asked like, oh, do you want to go stay with your grandparents or here? Do you want to go to like your dads, your moms? You know, I was always asked where I wanted to go, which was a lot of pressure at like four years old, 'cause it's like four year old me was like, everyone seems to like spending time with me. They love having me. So I've got to like make two people sad to make one happy. And I would always try to, even if I wanted to go somewhere in particular, I would try to be balanced and always pick a different person. So that way everyone got to have the joy of me around my four year old ego. 'Cause you know, it's a four year old. I thought everyone was always so nice, you know, 'cause I was a kid and I was, I love. So people were nice to me. Even if they wanted like a break, I never knew that as a kid they wanted a break. So I was like, well, I picked them last week and I gotta pick someone else this weekend and someone else next weekend. Like I tried to make that balance. And so the people pleasing became just an integral part of who I am, which you guys have seen at conventions where we're like, let's go to dinner. And I'm like, hey, can we bring 50 other people or whenever I'm like trying to balance out like doing co-labs or playing games with people. It's like, well, I was really having fun playing this game, but I'm not playing with so in someone like two weeks. I better do this this week instead of continuing that thing I actually want to do. And when it comes to like being in a bad mood, it's very similar. It's like everyone who needs to vent, I will be there, say what you need to say, get it off your chest, then someone's like, wait, what do you, do you have anything? You don't need to get off your chest? I'm like, no, I'm good. On the inside, I'm like, yes, please, let me out. It's like, shut up, you. I'll deal with you by playing a video game later. But I mean, I'll talk to Molly and like with Amy, you know, Molly's there to help me shall let me know if I'm being an asshole or so on so forth and I've gotten better about letting stuff out there, but there's still that people pleasing tendency in me where it's like, no, I've dealt with a lot in life. I can continue to deal with a lot. This is relatively small compared to what I've dealt with in the past, which shouldn't even be that big of a deal. Why am I in a bad mood anyway? And I'll try to rationalize out the bad mood, which doesn't really work, but I try. I try that aggressively. Man, does that not work? You know, kind of, you know, kind of asshole I am. I'm a people unpleaser. Nothing pisses me off more than a poorly-time text. When I'm not even mad or busy, in fact, most of the time when I'm not busy, I'm like, I'm not even like, oh, I just sat down. If a text catches me at the wrong time, I'm intentionally not responding for a while. Actually, it's not necessarily that, but I don't want to, I'm like, I'm not gonna, you know, I agree. Texts are different. I hate getting texts. I'm very insular sometimes when I get pissed off and I'm just like, I've got a buddy just fuck off. I'm not going to talk to anybody. I don't want to be bothered. And then instead of doing some productive efforts, I shouldn't, I don't want to talk to anybody. I fucking, but, you know, so, I don't know, it's the most impotent, useless kind of grumpiness possible. I did that sometimes, when I was like in high school, my high school girlfriend sometimes, I'd get mad because I'd be like, but I wouldn't be in damage. And then I'd be like, finally, she'd be like, oh, I want to spend time with you. And I'm just like, oh, no, I'm not going to do it. I'm just stupidest thing. It's like the most ass-and-eye and opposite day kind of unhelpful bullshit. And so, yeah, I've tried to push that out as much as I can. But when things get really busy, I do get caught up in it. I'm just like, I don't want to do anything. I want to go drive in a circle. Where's 275? Let me drive around it. I have that no-weird way, too. Like, if someone messaged me about playing something, I'll be like a no-way and grumpy the entire time leading up to it. And then I'll play or do whatever it is. I'll legitimately have a good time. And it's like, man, why was I so not looking forward to this? This was fun. And then the next week, I'll go through the same fucking cycle of, yeah. Oh, like a Ryan wants to play a game on Friday. I'm like, oh, Ryan wants to play a fucking game on Friday. I guess I'll put him on my schedule to stream with him on Friday. Oh, fucking asshole. Bogey. And then we'll play off like one of the best times I've had all week. And I'm like, oh, what a good time. And then I'll hear like the next week, like, hey, you went all fucking you want to do something? You son of a bitch? Again. God, we had such a good time last time. You know, I don't know what is about me where I'm like that. People want to play games. I'm like, I don't want to fucking play that game. I want to do go do this. And then I'll play as like, oh, that was so fun. I wish we could have kept going. Hey, we're playing it next week. Oh, do I want to play fuck you? Do I want to play next week? I got shit to do. It's the same thing with a shower. You know, sometimes we're just like, I know, it feels good. Just like, I'm in there. I'm like, oh, it's all nice. It's like, I take my clothes off. And I got, oh, I got to step in there. Ew. I don't have 10 minutes to shower. Having having a kid has been such a bad excuse for me. Because there's like, in every day life, what you're just on your own, like, ignore everything else. There's always a thing where you're like, well, I could shower now, but like, I was going to work out later or like, there's always something, right? That's what it's like, that's not a great, like, you could always think it's like, with James, it's always like, while I haven't showered in a couple days, but James is probably going to wake up from his nap. And I'm going to have to change a poop or, I don't know, it's like, just babies do all kinds of stuff. I'm going to have to roll around on the floor. Why would I ever shower? I'm just going to pegpend it up. He doesn't care. I don't care. I'll just wear these same sweats for, it's such a, I don't know that that's universal, but I feel like it's so hard with him added on to my regular baseline level of laziness and slothiness, slothiness. Slothiness. Slothiness. Slothiness. Slothiness. It's like, it's so easy to just look at anything and be like, I could drink some water. There's a glass of water in my hand that I got to drink, but I'm just going to be dehydrated and like another couple hours. Why would I even, like, well, just a losing battle. You're so right. I've had this water. I have this water bottle next to me. I was like, I don't want to drink that ice cold water. Ew, I'm going to grab this ginger beer instead. Ew. I'm drinking and I'll drink it fine. I'll fucking drink it. You fucking son of a bitch. I was not trying to fear pressure you. I do the exact save shit. It's, I don't have water. Is diet mountain dew water? Can I drink my diet mountain dew and feel good about my life? It's used to make it probably. Yeah, something in there's water. This is unrelated, but related. Remind me of a time where I was, I was like, some kind of convenience though. I used to work at a convenience store to set this up. And of course, some people would come in. You have like the ding so you knew that a customer was arriving. I remember being in a store and I was in a bad mood. I think I was arguing with somebody. I don't remember if it's family or friend or whatever, but I was having like an argument. I was kind of in a bad mood. And I remember what ended up breaking it was somebody walked into the store and had a very similar ding to the place I worked. And like in the middle of being like, yeah, I don't care if you fucking ding. Hi, how are you? Like just out of habit of working at the store. I turned to greet some random person while I was in the middle of this argument. And it completely shifted everything away. It made it really funny, but you need to get that, you need to get that sound saved on your phone or something. So you just be like, God, it's just a bad fucking thing. That was a really hard thing to break, was if you ever heard a similar ding or if I went into like UDFs around Cincinnati. If someone walked in, it was like, do not greet people with. You're not wearing an apron. You don't look like you belong. You look like a fucking weirdo. If you're just like, hi, how are you? I guess someone's walking in to buy their coffee. This is a very, I am him, energy of me, but I, I use to work at Jimmy Johns and we used to, we was the one on campus and it was open super late. And I must be the only human in existence who we would, you know, we closed it like three, if I remember right, which is really fucking late, but we would get a big rush because the bars would kick everyone out at two and then we get a bunch of people in. And then right up till close, it's like three o'clock, we closed the door and we're like, go the fuck home or go somewhere else, drunks, whatever. And everyone, and including, I'm still surprised. I mean, I know it happens, but I'm still confused why people are so mad when you go to a store and it's like, ah, we close in an hour and you walk in and you're like, yeah, I'd like a burrito or whatever. And they're like, burrito. This guy doesn't need no wee clothes in an hour. It's like, yeah, I know you close in an hour. Doesn't that mean you're open? I know that as a customer, I know that that's like a dick. Well, I get like, you're at work. I understand that sucks. And sometimes it's, it's worse than other times. But when I was working, if someone walked into my Jimmy Johns at 255 in the morning, all my coworkers would be like, this fucking god, god damn, I'm like, just making a fucking sandwich like it takes five minutes. By the time we're done making this drunks sandwich, we can close the doors and it's no different than if they didn't come in. But we didn't have to stand there doing nothing staring at the clock for five minutes. But like, I feel like it's very natural to get mad. Get that you're like, I just want to go home. Just go away. But if you're open, especially, I think one, one time I went into a place it was like, it was really late dinner. It was like 7 30 at night and I was like, I need something. I went in and the place closed at like nine. So they weren't like about to close. They had like, it's all an hour and a half still. And I walked in and I got that same shit where I walked in and they were like, oh, hey, sir, what, uh, sorry, we're kind of, the line's kind of closed down. What can we get for you? I'm like, you guys are not even remotely closed. Like, you are jumping the gun on this one. I get that you don't like your job or it's been a rough day, but like, please make me a sandwich. I'm really, well, pay you. I'll pay you full price. Just give me the sandwich. I'm sure I'm sure. I don't know. Do you guys feel that? Do you ever work till closed somewhere? It was like, I want to say something that's going to sound extremely derogatory. All right. So with the sandwich shop, I imagine it's different with like a sit down restaurant because like, sometimes people do come in late, but with the sandwich shop, I think it's that case of where the monkeys and the ladder and the banana and the water, you know, this. I don't know what the hell you're talking about. Is that something I'm supposed to know? Okay. So there's a science experiment, right? There's a cage full of monkeys or something. Not or something. It was monkeys for sure. It was absolutely. All right. Locked in monkeys. Okay. Monkeys or children. Something. There's there's 10 or so monkeys in there, right? And they put a ladder and there's a banana on a rope up top. Eventually, one of the monkeys was like, hey, climbs the ladder. As soon as he climbs the ladder, they spray cold water into the cage, right? They take one monkey out. They put a new monkey in who has not been sprayed. He's like, banana goes up there. Get spray. Everyone gets sprayed. And then they beat the shit out of the new monkey. Damn. So it got to the point where they were replaced with a monkey. And eventually, it's like the monkey, even if it touched the ladder and they didn't spray it, they would still beat the shit out of the new monkey, right? They'd be like, don't touch the ladder. And got to the point where they started replacing so many that there was no monkey that had ever been sprayed with water. But they would still beat the shit out of the monkeys because they were like, this is just what we do. This is what we don't touch the ladder. The ladder will beat up. And it's like, I think what that is with the people come in is people that work at restaurants where they people sit down, but they get to a new food restaurant and they can't be like, oh, I got to be mad for some. We're gonna beat the shit out of that customer for coming in before clothes. Even if it takes five minutes to make the food. And I think I think that might be that. That's such a horrible experiment. Like, I know I'm laughing and smiling, but also that's like, that's terrible. That is interesting. I had never heard that before. Think it's real. I'm pretty sure it's real, but you know, who knows I have to say to you and I both worked at the same restaurant Sorry, and I do it is different at a sit-down place when you it's like okay We close in 15 minutes and then someone comes in and just like table for three like well You're not gonna eat and leave in 15 minutes. Are you but I did always think the social like some people are oblivious And then so maybe doesn't work so well But the social pressure of being that last table in a restaurant while like five servers and the bartender and the Chefs in the back are like in the way everyone in the whole place is is waiting to leave and you're sitting there just like That's got to be so fucking awkward, right like that they are they are suffering enough But maybe people just don't give a shit. I don't know they're having a magical moment Didn't we do that at a fogo or something once the Brazilian steakhouse where we were the last table They had started to bring us to the meat. Oh, we would never we would never do that what no We're the only table. There's like four guys just hovering around us with meat on like You got more no other people did this not us Yeah, yeah, we wouldn't do that or that doesn't sound true. I don't think that happened. Who are you spreading lies about us Push me in a bad mood man better look out. He's not gonna want to hang out with us There is nothing like finishing cleaning up your ice cream area and then having a customer is like I want a giant chocolate mole extra thick like two minutes before closed And it's like, but that sprays everywhere. It'll cover everything. We've just cleaned and milkshake again Just you go into the game, but sir We don't have the technology to block that I'm not happy to lot people come in last minute for ice cream is always like oh Fine we'll make it we're open and we can serve it here. You enjoy your Sunday Glad you want that midnight banana split. There was it. We actually had closed and we'd locked the door We'd turn like the lights off. We were counting like the registers or whatever we did before closed like before we actually got to leave And someone came like Frank I think I haven't told this story in here before someone came frankly up to our dorm It's like pounding on the door and it's a glass door So we see them and we're like okay something's wrong. So we hope that we're like we're closed. Can we can we help you? It's a police it's I desperately just I really need a milkshake, right? So we are we are closed, but what do you mean you desperate an emergency milkshake? I've heard of this It's like I am really fucking high, and it just sounds so good. I need it so bad I was in a bit of a conundrum because I was like well, there is another one UDF open like 24/7 like Three miles from here, but I also don't want to tell this guy who's a high out of his fucking mind to go driving Three miles to another location. So what do I do here? I don't remember my told others on the location or not It's like I don't really feel like it's morally correct for me to send you driving off somewhere in your current state But also I'm not making you a fucking milkshake. We're closed. Everything's shut down. Couldn't if I wanted to well I could make you a milkshake and die Okay, get arrested we're closed Kill now I dealing with people late at night every the rest of the day was fine that last like 20 minute window of just staring Angrily at the front door daring anybody to come in it was your monkey ladder boat Squirt did it work when you glared at the man grilly did anyone ever turn around now that because we I think we like We knew we couldn't actually glare as it was like a We should create a scenario is like a therapy session Whereas like you're working at the desk and I'll walk in and you make me leave, right? Okay, all right Okay, you get the apron you got your little choo choo hat, right? You had a hat, right for UDF Yeah, they have the war hats. I'm pretty sure they had hats. I don't think we had hats Yeah, yeah, yeah, poofy shoulders like like gloves like dainty gloves, right? No, I don't think we use gloves anyway Knock knock knock knock knock. Are you open? No open? Okay, milkshake. How are you in here? The door was locked. Oh, I'm fine. Thank you for asking. I would like a chocolate Multi-please. We're out of malt powder and milk. I see milk duds. You could crunch them up. Cash register is broken. I'm gonna hang out here The police are on their way. Well, thank God All right, I guess you can take I'll see you come on man. No, you failed You'll never grow as a human. Oh, you were so cool. How can I say no? That charisma man? It beats me every time Yeah, that's right. You look hey, but you're funny. Don't forget that very funny All right, well, I'm gonna say this therapy session is concluded Can I share a story I found before you finally wrap it up? I don't care if it's for points I just found it really funny if it's actually funny. I'll point out you and tell you there's a story I was I was like I don't know if I have this many stories I was looking at other people's stories and what that'll happen when they were angry and there was a person I couldn't tell if they were like a CEO or worked in HR, but they worked in like customer whatever and employee Something employees would come knock and they don't want come into their office basically is quite often They were having a really bad day and after dealing with someone particularly annoying they like whatever They want to take a bathroom break and they went to like a bathroom stall closed and locked the door and were like sitting there Doing their business and someone came and like knocked on the door while they were in there and they were just already annoyed and pissed But they forgot that they weren't in their office and they yelled come in angrily instead of occupying And apparently that changed the trajectory of their day because it was just really fucking funny of come in and the person outside's like And I found that story very funny so I had to share that one you're just holding the door handle You're like my life is that across roads right now. I have a choice here. I see two paths Anyway, that was it short and sweet, but I found it really funny Unfortunately, I actually laughed and I didn't point at you and say it was funny So I guess it wasn't my story that they're amazing wasn't there a story about how like I forget which senator or something It was like it was like a bathroom stall. I was like tapping your foot or something remember being assigned like I want to solicit sex from you Other person in the next doll. Well, there was someone like that. I don't remember who but it was it was like a senator or congresspersons that they get That was in the news And so from then on is anyone else has happened to anyone else where I became a rationally afraid of tapping my toe in a in a bathroom stall Lest it be misread as a solicitation or something because I'm like I'm not a stalled toe tapper by any But I've been known to bounce my knee a couple times when I'm booping So I'm like anyone else get a weirdly afraid of that. I am not an overthinker. Generally. I'm pretty laid back But public bathroom stalls if I'm in a stall like if I have to sit down to do business and I'm in I sit in there And I'm like I need to make sure I'm ready in case someone opens the door. I don't when I go to the bathroom at home I'm like a toddler. I like take I strip naked and just but but when I'm in per I like sit on the thing And I'm like well, I have my pants positioned and I'll make sure that I look presentable and I'm not tapping I don't want to make any extra noises. I don't want anyone around me to know what's going on here It's very polite and professional. I literally possibly the only place in the whole world where I'm like I better make sure I don't do anything unthoughtless or do anything extra if someone came in here Then be like oh excuse me and I'd be like yes good day Like I don't know what it is about but yes No, I that I didn't need that news story in my life to make me Way overthink what I'm doing in the bathroom stall and I come up with contingencies too If I sit down and I forgot to check before I decided if there is toilet paper I'm like I'm frantically like all right, which side do I ask? How do I ask for toilet paper from my neighbor? What if our fingers touch? Well, he's handing it to me. What does that mean? Do I need to do something? It goes I go down whole rabbit holes It's it's stressful situations But I would never tap my toes. I do everything in my power to avoid using public restrooms I plan my trips around all right Well, if I eat this food usually I've got like 30 minutes or I've got three hours before I need to So we can go to the store after that, but it's straight home ever since we were at a convention Years ago We had like someone that was escorting us around because there's a lot of fans around and so someone escorted me to a restroom at one point and I thought their whole point was they were going to not let anyone else in the restroom So I went to like standard a urinal and then right as I was in the middle of pissing a fan comes running in Camera out Dude, can I get a selfie and I'm like dick-in-hand mid-piss like Get it wait a minute like and I was like I don't know if I'm on video right now I don't know what the fuck's happening, but like I don't know ever since that experience of just like There's nothing I can do. I am standing here and there's I don't I guess I'm either on camera or I'm not I don't know why are you pissing so far away from the urinal you could just kind of like hey Don't I don't even know that I was but there was just something in my brain where I was like This is how my dick gets revealed are you standing at the other opposite wall going for the distance record is that what you're doing like no Not now. It's like the carnival game. I was trying to hit the target try to pop the water balloon. See how much you get in there I was like I'm a piss sniper Well, I mean that's how they knew you were in there. You're just shouting out the bad enough What's that what's the snipers name the dude the snow guy the white something the snow guy White death. I think it was white death white death. Yeah, there's a sniper called white dead I was trying to think of a pond where I was yellow something yellow death I've hit 16 targets with one blast Better than Brown Death, the Poop sniper. Point at me, say that was funny. That was funny. Damn it. Why did I go brown? That was a good, that was a good extra story. I appreciate that. And none of us tap our toes at the bathroom. Noted. God knows. If I remember next to someone who claims to be one of you two but their toe is a tapet, I'll know it's a trap. I would say that's the end of the episode. Mark, you earned points four. Man, I wrote like wait again today. A perfectist crime, lie point, climate change, very funny, illegal interview tactics. Where'd he go? Not saying those slurs you have to try so hard not to say when you're in a bad mood. We're talking to Amy. People unpleaser. Monkeys slash children in cages. And die. Wait, do you heard points four? Outside walk. What? Oh, here's your severance. There you go. Kneel amen. And I actually know what you guys are talking about. Oh, there you go. Yeah. In the weird voice, yeah. Bitch baby mess. The thing that makes you activate. Hi, how are you? But that sprays everywhere. And I'm a piss sniper. Making the actual score. I will say it till your last little addition weight. Mark was up. It was nine for Mark and eight for Wade. One of Mark's is a lie point. Mm-hmm. Wade scored some piss sniper points. It's now nine to nine. And Mark has one lie point. Can't believe my poop sniper joked in. Get a point. This is traditionally where we spin the wheel. And? Yeah, the thing about that is I have to move my computer. Or do this next part. Oh, man. I can't believe a gun on a mount isn't a good stable platform to put my computer on. You got to work on your halo reach. That's funny. Oh, the coin flip. I'm going to flip my pen. You guys all have a coin. Do we want each want to flip a thing? They'll got it. All right. Heads his spin. Tails is no spin. Jesus Christ. Tails. I got spin. Man, I flipped that right in my microphone. Sorry about that. All right. Here we go. Gamer skills. Activate. That's a cut. That's stupid. That's stupid. That's stupid. That's stupid. That's stupid. That's a very legitimate thing. That's stupid. That's stupid. That's stupid. That's stupid. That's stupid. That's stupid. That's stupid. Oh, no. That's stupid. That's not so stupid as this measure. That's stupid. That's stupid. That's stupid. That's stupid. But why not have this time it does with me? Oh, fuck. It's got plus 10 percent on it. I don't know if you knew that. It's plus 10 percent. I don't even know. I think it was at 6 percent plus 10. I mean, you couldn't rebuild the wheel. You could do that from a. I think it got. I don't think it's been spun since the last time. I think it got freshly reset. And I think we started at 6 percent. I think that's correct. So I think it's just a. It goes to 16 percent. And then the other 84 split between the two of us. 42, 42, 16. I'm hoping it's still a still image and you get the. Oh, you never know this guy. This one is just straight up weights. So I think I could just put 42, 42 and 16. Math sounds right in my head. Okay, now all I have to do is share that one. There you go. You guys see that? Yes. One man shoe. One man shoe. I'll show you it has a probability of 16%. I believe this. The perfect is crime or a one man show it. It's all good except unless it lands on one. Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god. Okay. Oh, I thought it was. Wade wins. Well, all right, listen. I asked for bias and this is what I get. I can't believe it. I thought it was stopping in the yellow. It like paused in there. I'm happy that didn't happen. But thank God we made these wheel spins as easy as possible for pumping. Not at home. Yeah, Bob, why don't you carry your wheels with you? Listen, it would be smart if I did that. All right, Wade wins in a sudden death spinorama. There's no one man chose. Congratulations Wade. Would you like to give your winners? It was a good, well-earned fight and I was in a bad mood going into this. Not really. But I'm in a better mood now. So well done, Bob. You did it. Congratulations to all of us. Except Mark, would you like to give your loser speech? You both are really funny. You're funny, you know that. But not in a ha ha way. In a way that pisses me off. I'm pissed. And let me tell you. I'm pissed. All right, I don't get it. I really don't know. Mark, you're being a dick. Thanks Amy, cut out. Somehow that makes me more mad. You sound like that guy I tried to interview. Guess what happened to him? Zeff. Severance. Anyway, good TV show. But I've never seen it. So I'm only going based off here, say. Damn, damn, damn, damn, damn, damn. That's not Severance. That's Jackass. Yeah, I don't know what the fuck you were doing. Yeah, my name's Johnny Knoxville, and this is Severance. That could also be King of the Hill. Damn, damn, damn, damn, damn, damn, damn, damn, damn, damn. Let's end this guy. I don't know what we're doing. All right, let's end this. Okay, yeah. Wade wins. Wade hosts the next one.
