Cincinnati Jeopardy

The episode of Distractible features a humorous, self-aware trivia game titled "Easy Jeopardy," centered on Cincinnati culture and local knowledge. Host Bob, along with co-hosts Mark and Wade, compete to answer questions about Cincinnati slang, businesses headquartered there, and popular activities. The game is filled with mix-ups and funny misremembered facts—such as the confusion over the Karoo Tower and the Daniel Beard Bridge—highlighting both their knowledge and comedic flaws. Personal anecdotes, like a deep bathroom clean and a cat pooping on the stairs, add levity and relatability. A key moment is the "slap yourself" joke, which sparks debate over who earns credit, adding to the episode’s playful tone. Despite a close 10-9 score, Mark wins the right to host the next episode. The show blends satire, absurdity, and genuine interaction, ending with a lighthearted celebration of the hosts' competitive spirit and shared humor. The episode’s tone remains consistently silly and engaging, with the hosts embracing the chaotic energy of the format. A final note about the "Grim Reaper" with multiple heads and holes reinforces the show’s surreal and satirical style, while the hosts acknowledge that their knowledge of local facts is limited—an element that makes the competition feel authentic and entertaining.

Good evening, gentle listeners or watchers, and welcome to Distractible, this episode. Beaver-loving Bob takes the lads to task over their own hometown. Woeful Wade gives bad news, dies, slaps someone, talks turds and toilets, but knows his arts and towers. Multinostraled Mark doesn't know Sonny, but succeeds in slang. From automobile events to unhumbled humble. Hello and welcome back to another episode of Distractible, the last podcast you see before your car goes tumbling into the ravine. That's right, this is the podcast that causes you to wreck your vehicle. Allegedly. I mean, we don't cause it on purpose. We don't cause it on purpose, but facts are facts, man. I'm your host, my name is Bob. I am hosting because I won last week. I'm joined, as always, by the two competitors for today's episode, who will be competing to host the next one. And, of course, that would be Mark and Wade. Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You ever seen a three-headed Grim Reaper? Three-headed, three-sithed Grim Reaper. That's Distractible. Not the head on his shoulders. Huh? Nothing. A three-headed, three-penis, three-sithed Grim Reaper? Grim Reaper, watch out. Two arms, two legs, three heads, three other heads. Two belly buttons, for some reason. They each have their own little cloak, as well. Yeah, yeah. Just two, yeah, two belly buttons. You gotta balance it out somewhere. It's one nose, but six nostrils. Ooh. You'd hate that. Why would I hate that? And the holes. That's not enough holes. How many holes does it have to be? More than six, for sure. I've never counted. We're gonna show Mark increasingly more holes, so he's like, oh, that one. Oh, one. Oh! Let's do one, two, three, four, five, six, seven. You think you have that phobia, and you go into, like, your therapist's office, and they show you a video where it's just like, boop, one, boop, two, boop, and the doctor's just like, huh? Eight! It's eight for you! You look scared at seven, but eight definitely did it. Something, something, I'm gonna host a, small talk, let's do small talk. I was immediately gonna just jump into the thing, but that's not. I have breaking sad news. The distractible mascot is being removed. Bucky's decided that it was too close to their logo, and we can no longer have the distractible mascot. This is probably satire, unless. I didn't even know we had a mascot. Now that you've put that out there, we're definitely gonna cease and desist email coming our way. What would be our mascot, would have been our mascot? We drew it! Oh, the fridge! Uh, yeah, didn't we draw it collectively? The fridge with the shards of glass? That's it, yeah. That is very beaver-esque. You shut your mouth! You shut your mouth right now, you're lying. I would never lie to you, man. I'm gonna, oh, I'll do it again. Slap yourself. Oh. Damn, that was loud. Ooh, that's a good one. That one hurt a little, yeah. It's, uh, tortoise in the hair for this episode. All my funny is gonna be spread out. Mark's the hair. Yeah. Wait, no, no, I'm, I'm the tortoise. You can't, can't make Wade be the hair, that's so rude. No, but my analogy doesn't work the other way around. It does if you keep losing. If it's the tortoise in the web, it. Okay, that makes more sense, yeah. I don't have a carrot. I don't know what else rabbits do other than have carrots and fuck. That's it. Those are the two rabbit things. They cover ends of lists. This is completely unreal. You know how, like, so I used to have a rabbit, and, like, whenever rabbits run, they just kind of, like, poop as they run, so they leave, like, little trails, little poops. I went to check the mail, and right across the driveway, it wasn't a rabbit, but it was a deer that had done the same thing. There was just the trail of turds. It was really gross. Deer turds are a whole other skill. Well, then, rabbit turds, though. Yeah, but the way they plop in, like, the little pattern, I was like, this reminds me of my rabbit, but, like, on steroids. I can see the connection. My news, buckies and deer poop. Got anything else going on you want to talk about, or does that pretty much cover it? You know rabbits. Anyway, there was this deer. You know pigs, right? Anyway. No, man, the last week we've spent doing, like, you know how you keep a house clean. You have to go clean rooms and stuff, but, like, every now and then you do the deep clean, where, like, you go extra. You go over above and beyond to, like, get every nook and cranny. We've been doing the deep clean, and I spent five hours cleaning bathrooms yesterday. Like, five hours straight. And Molly has, like, little makeup kit things where it's, like, you know, different brushes and cases of makeup and stuff. I went and I took each piece out and individually dusted and cleaned it, and then I cleaned each holder and stuff, and then went through and cleaned the light fixtures and literally everything else, and I'm so sore. I've never had the bottom of my feet hurt so bad. I guess I should have. I should have worn, like, some kind of shoes or something while doing it. You gotta wear your house shoes, man. Yeah, I didn't. I was just barefoot on tile, and I'm feeling it today. I'm feeling it. That's it. I cleaned bathrooms. That's been my life for the last week. I don't know how, but somehow for me, that deep cleaning is, on some level, it's, like, really relaxing, because you just sort of, like, zone out and get really into doing. But also, on a higher level, it's, like, my fucking nightmare, because I'm terrible at, like, being careful and paying attention when also I'm zoned. out doing the same thing over and over and over again, and I'll just, like, not clean a whole, I don't know, like, I'll be in the bathroom and then not clean the mirror and then come out and be like, bathroom's done, and Mandy looks in and it's like, fuck, it's not. Try again. For me, it's different. I start off, and I'm really focused, and I'm, like, putting all this effort in, but, like, just, like, with games and other stuff, like, I'll get, like, three quarters of the way done, and then all of a sudden my brain's like, all right, we need to be, I'm done with this. I don't want to do this anymore. We're done. We gotta speed along. And I've, like, forced myself to finish. I don't know. I like that with games, too. I'll play a video game, like, nonstop for, like, a week, and then I'll get almost through the game, and I'm like, all right, well, I can't launch that game ever again. Time to move on to something else. And I don't know what that is, but I have that where it's just, like, all right, I've thoroughly cleaned 90% of this bathroom. There's just a little bit left. Ugh, couldn't possibly. No, please don't make me finish. I don't know. It's a weird pick of not wanting to finish things, but it's done. I did it. Good job. I have some jokes for that. I'm not going to say them. You hate points, don't you? Yeah, you could get points. No, no, no. It would be crass, and I'm not crass. Oh. I'm not going to do it. I am. I cleaned poop all week, and then I walked across poop on the driveway. I've got poop everywhere. Not my own. Well, unless. And then the cat. Dude, so I ran out to grab food before we started recording, as you guys know. Coming back down the stairs, our cat pooped on the stairs again. I almost stepped it on the way to my office, so I had to clean that up. Yeah, but he's old. Yeah, that's understandable. He always does it right in my path. I think it's intentional. I think he hates me. Isn't that just how cats are? Don't they? Don't they generally kind of hate you, even if they like you? They also hate you? I hear. I think a lot of other cats do this, but he also has a thing where he'll cut you off when you're going up or down stairs specifically, like he's trying to trip you. Lexi does that. I think she's just a tiny dog who has no spatial awareness because she's mostly deaf and going blind slowly. I think his is intentional. He was holding a knife while he did it. Interesting. That's a strong sign. In the mouth or duct tape to the paws? No, the hand. The hand. Sticking straight. Sticking straight out of his butthole behind him for safety. Where his hand is. Yeah. Interesting. Haven't had a cat in a while. The butthand. His human hand. An awful image. All of these have been awful images. Yeah, that's that crossed the line, though, man. Come on. I sure hope this small talk gets animated. Oh, I'm sure it will. Anyway, good small talk. Mark really did share a lot of the points with Wade on that one, but sometimes you're the generous one, you know, so that's OK. That's me. That's what they call me. Anyway, guys, I have a game for you today that I am tentatively calling Easy Jeopardy. Oh, no, wait, I got bad vibes. This is a thing that a person online made on the website JeopardyLabs.com. It's just trivia. It's just Jeopardy. It's a place where you can go and make your own Jeopardy games. This one is called Cincinnati Jeopardy. Oh, come on. It's so unfair. I haven't been there in years. I don't even remember. I don't even remember that city. It's OK, Mark. I don't know much about my own town anyway either, so I'm fucked. It's fine. It's fine. There's only 12 questions. Remember when we were, like, talking about all the incredible things about Cincinnati and come here and we didn't even hit, like, half of the things that Cincinnati, we're all from here and didn't remember any of them? Oh, my God. Don't worry. Don't worry. It's easy. Where did my notes go? All right. I guess I don't get to have notes. I'll take other notes. That's fine. It's easy. And there are only three categories. Would you like to hear today's categories? Yes. Mm-hmm. You don't have a choice. I don't know why I asked you. OK. The first category is Cincy slang. Then we have headquartered here. And then, finally, we have things to do. Can I write those down? Yeah. That's probably not a terrible idea, actually. And you may pick for one, two, three, or 400 point dollars. 400 point dollars. Got it. They're usually dollars. They're dollars on the show, aren't they? Wait, what was it? There were four, right? Things to do, Cincinnati slang? No, there was three. There was three categories. Three categories. OK, I've got those. I'm going to flip my coin of confusing sides. Today, weighty is the lady. And that is a lion. Hey! I don't know if it's going to focus, but it is a lion, which means Mark gets to pick first. You have control of the board. Easy, Jeopardy. Easy. I looked at the questions. I know you guys got this. Uh-huh. OK, can I call you? bob my name's bob bob my name is bob that's that still works here yes uh thanks bob can i get headquartered here for 200 i don't know what the strategy is for picking like numbers that don't begin at the beginning but i just want to do i don't have any money no it is no that was just the regular sound sorry i forgot oh oh okay i thought that was the daily double i don't watch jeopardy enough to know that there's no daily double there's no daily double oh okay okay all right that's what i'm saying we're just answering the question that we select right there's no we're not beeping in do we have to answer in the form of a question you may steal if the first person gets it wrong sure that's fine you have to answer in the form of a question unless i don't notice good caveat uh mark headquartered here for 200 the answer is this privately held cincinnati company makes you drinks that boast quote a full day's supply of vitamin c what is what is angry orchard wait do you have a guess can you repeat the question this privately held cincinnati company makes drinks that boast quote a full day's supply of vitamin c what is sunny delight oh my god that is correct damn it's in cincinnati the sunny delight beverages company is a cincinnati company i couldn't think of the other orange juice i could only think of sunny i was gonna say the other one i was just banking that angry orchard had a non-beer division or something like that so that was just a guess yeah it was the only orange i couldn't think of is it called simply orange is that the one i couldn't think of i mean tropicana simply orange i literally could only think i was like i think that's orange juice the only way i could think of a sunny delight because the song came into my head and also like they don't grow oranges in the ohio so it'd have to be a non-or it makes sense it makes sense i just didn't know that they were headquartered in cincinnati i thought i thought i was a shoo-in for that category what a lucky guess that's that's 200 dollar points for wade wade you have control of the board damn it uh let's go headquartered here for 300 and the answer is manufacturers and markets umbrellas gloves rainwear rubber rain boots and other weather related accessories oh it's not skyline chile as the host i'm not supposed to give clues but i will say this is a very big brand but also you guys have no fucking chance i would never i didn't know this was a cincinnati company what is lululemon mark to steal what is brooks brothers the correct answer is totes isototer oh that was my next guess oh my god totes isototer totes as in storage totes and isotoner as in isotoner gloves which is a big brand is it is it really oh big brand why haven't they advertised on distractible well that's a good question oh i was ready for the answers to be skyline chile gold star chile i told you guys this is sissy stuff this is this is real easy i'm a fake fan but it's fine and you know what i'm not gonna subtract uh points from your score like they do on real jeopardy you just lose control of the board for getting a wrong answer uh so mark your your choice i'll i think our strategy was

retailer behind walmart what is kroger that is correct all right i'm on the board yes good one mark good one see i knew you guys had this it's still my turn right yes yes all right give me cincinnati slang for 100 oh damn it he is smart i am smart phrase often used when asking someone to repeat themselves oh in cincinnati yeah it's please right what is please that is correct all right yeah because yeah i i know there's many stories where people from cincinnati or like i guess it's probably a nearby region have people misinterpreted because they're like a job interview or something else like didn't hear something they go please i still find that confusing it does not happen a lot at every time because it for anyone who can't envision it it's literally you'll literally be like uh hey i'm looking for the bathroom like whatever you're in a store something like hey excuse me like where's the bathroom what and the person just looks at you it is like please yes please please i'm looking for the bathroom i'm sorry i didn't use the magic word help me yeah yeah it's just i don't do that i hear i'm sorry more often than not when someone wants you to repeat something like i'm sorry it's like oh okay i'll tell you again nah no way you're not real cincinnati and yeah mark's real cincinnati that's why he has control of the board that's why i got control of the board oh damn it go

molly's parents wanted to go down so molly and her parents and i went down a couple years ago all right wait with a lucky guess i mean with an answer he knew we have control of the board let's go

was so yeah that's that's tough luck because wade only knows that because he's a big football fan i buy tickets to go there yeah uh yeah and only one of you co-hosts a sports podcast and i think we both know who that is me right it's me what is who is me things to do for 400 uh can i call you bob too you can call me mr m mr m things to do for 400 yeah this building once the tallest in cincinnati was erected giggity in 1931. the art deco building houses tower place mall and a hotel spectacular views from the observation deck oh i've been here too what is big big building man i hate that that's right obviously that is incorrect mark do you know this one it would be really bad if i didn't given that my wedding you didn't happen to host anything in this building you didn't happen to host anything in this building in the last year did you We were just there. Man, Mark's in more trouble than just what Cincinnati is. Hold on, hold on, hold on. He's just walking through his mind palace, trying to locate the correct information. What is the Netherland Plaza? Ooh, sorry, that is incorrect. That better not be. Oh, God. That may be what that area is called, but the building itself is called the Karoo Tower. I hadn't heard of that. I don't know what that is. Yeah, I don't know that I knew that name. I feel a little bit better. I don't know what that is all about. All right, all right, all right, all right. I don't know. What's the Netherland Plaza, then? Is that just the. The Netherlands. It's a country, Mark. It's a country. Right, right. Okay, you're right. I got them confused. When you first get to the country, you go to the plaza, and then they let you in. It's part of the Karoo Tower, the complex. It's the Hilton Cincinnati Netherlands Plaza is the historic Art Deco Hotel located inside the tower. Okay, all right. Makes sense. So I feel like people could give me a pass on this one, and I can lose this. Yeah, you totally remembered it. That just wasn't helpful to you in the game itself. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Exactly, yeah. What was it called? It's Karoo. Like, you know, whenever you're on a plane, you have the flight Karoo. Ha ha, funny joke, Wade. That's funny. Yeah, there you go. Mark and I were just syncing it up. All right, okay. Balls, headquartered here for 400. In 2007, this Fortune 100 company changed its name from Federated Department Stores to this iconic name. Hint, they announced in February they will be closing their downtown Cincinnati headquarters. See, I don't know how up-to-date this is, so it might not be this February that that was announced. What was the old name of it again? Federated Department Stores. Okay. So it's got to be a department store of some type. What is Kohl's? I'm sorry, that's incorrect. Wade, do you know this one? I know this one. Oh, wait. What is Pop, Pop, Pop, Pop, Pop? What is, uh. What is Sears? The correct answer is Macy's. Macy's was headquartered in Cincinnati? I thought Macy's was older than that. I did not know that either. It's always a New York thing to me because Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Yeah, that's what I was thinking. I thought of Macy's. Like, no, Macy's is much older and not Cincinnati. Ugh. Ugh. Wait, Macy's was only called Macy's starting in 07? I think the stores were called that, the parent company. Oh, that's what threw me off. I was like, no, there's been like a Macy's Day Parade for like 100 years or something weird. So like, no, it can't be that. That was the first department store I thought of. I was like, no, it can't be that. 100 years or something. That's so fucking weird. Fuck! I was like, that'd be so stupid if I said Macy's. Oh, I think I broke this rule in the last time. But since everyone got that wrong, Wade, you get to pick now. Because I was doing that before. Oh, I was going with, yeah, we've been doing it. I think we've been doing it that way. Okay, good. Oh, Cincinnati slang for 300 right in the middle. Oh my God. Nicknamed the Big Mac Bridge for its resemblance to McDonald's Golden Arches. Oh. There's only so many bridges down there. So, you know, I'm sure you know all their names. Yeah, I was like, you just told me the name of it. I should just repeat what you said, but that can't be it. It was the actual name of the bridge that is nicknamed the Big Mac Bridge. Yeah, yeah. Well, when you're walking around down there, people are always like, you know, what is Old Yeller? No. You have to have a gun on the bridge. You go to the middle of the gun. Just look at the water. We're going by the shed. Seems like a bridge nobody would want to walk on. Mark, do you know? I only know one name and I don't even know if this is a bridge, but what is the Brent Spence? That's the big highway one. Oh, shit. What is the purple people mover bridge? That is a different one and I don't think that's this one. The Big Mac Bridge is officially known as the Daniel Beard Bridge. Never heard that in my life. I would have never guessed that. Well, no. Famous Cincinnatian. He's the reason we have beards. All right. Here we go. Mark's choice. Also, how's that slang? I don't know. I don't get these. Oh, God. Well, you had to know the slang to then get because the answer was so easy. Everyone wouldn't just know the answer. Obviously, going balls. I'm balls. Cincinnati slang for 400. The shortcut for ordering Cincinnati style chili with spaghetti, raw onions, kidney beans, and cheddar cheese. Is there another name for this? Wait, say it again. This is the shortcut for ordering Cincinnati style chili with spaghetti, raw onions, kidney beans, and cheddar cheese. I'm like, the way that I would order it is pretty short as is. Why would I need a shortcut? Is this a trick? Are you tricking me? What the fuck? Is that your answer? Do you see it? Does it seem like the kind of guy who would trick you? I honestly have, I don't know. What is a five way? That's correct. It's a five way. Oh, okay. I was, I was about to say it like, what the fuck that was for? 400 Daniel Beard was free. I was like, that's the only way I know it. And it's like, I was like, this really short. So it probably that, but well, but right. It, that's the shortcut because if you sit down and go, I want a way with onions and, and beans and cheese, like if you say all the things that you want, you'll still get it, but it's called a five way. That's the shorthand for it. Yeah. Yeah. It's a five way. Yeah. I just can't believe that's a 400 question. That's why it felt like a trick to me. I was like, well, no, it's a 400 question. There's, I think that was, honestly, I think that was the idea because if anyone from Cincinnati was answering it, it would seem like a trick because you're like, oh, that's only called one thing. There's no other thing. I was trying to think of gold star, like called it something else. I'm like, well, I don't know how else I would order that. Like give me skinny with the fixings. Like, cause with the four way, you have to pick onions or beans and you have to tell them. Okay. All right. So still mine, right? Yeah. But there's only one left on the board. Choose carefully. All right. Last one. Daily double. Come on. 200. Cincy slang for 200. Pepsi and Coke are known as soda to most of the world, but in Cincinnati, this slang term reigns supreme. What is pop? That is correct. Which is funny. Cause I don't call it that. I think I call it soda mostly, but I, I guess that's wrong. Soda pop. I say both. I usually just say which one I want, but I like never say pop. Same pop sounds weird to me. I feel like I said pop. Pop more when I was younger. I think I say soda more now. I can't believe Daniel Beard was sandwiched between those two. That is all of the questions off the board. Let me just double check here. Mark, we won. I feel good. We are Cincinnati still. Yeah. Right. We definitely didn't miss a lot of those. You missed four of them, which is one third. And I did say this was easy jeopardy. So of course we have to keep going until you're able to answer all of them correctly. Oh, what did you think? I met when I said easy jeopardy. Oh no. What's the bridge name? Oh, no, I thought you're being nice. You only missed four. You only have to remember a couple things. Really? Oh no. What do you gets to the other one gets to you're all done. How hard can it be? And I told you the answers. I told you it was easy. I have, I, oh, God damn it. When? When will we learn? When will we learn? When will we learn? When will we learn? When will we learn? I don't know, man. Mark got the last one's correct. So I guess Mark has control of the board. Unfortunately in my final jeopardy, you don't get to pick. You have to answer the question that I give you headquartered here for 300, this company manufacturers and markets umbrellas, gloves, rainwear, rubber rain boots, and other weather related accessories. I forgot about this question. Oh, oh, what, oh, I, oh, what is totes and in six interlopers impressionable totes and out, not out. Ah, fuck totes and in and out. Oh, fuck. Oh, fuck. Ah, so close. So close, but that's not it. Wait, do you know this one? You just say no. If you're, if you're sure that you don't know. What is tote meal? That's incorrect. Oh, of course the answer is totes. Isotoner. Everybody remembers that. Of course. Isotoner was on the tip of my tongue. All right, wait, you get to answer things to do for 400. Oh no. This building wants the tallest in Cincinnati. of course isotoner was on the tip of my tongue all right wade you get to answer things to do for 400 oh no this building once the tallest in cincinnati was erected in 1931 the art deco building houses tower place mall and a hotel spectacular views from the observation deck we were just talking about that we talked about it a lot because mark was surprised he didn't hear that name because he knew the other stuff about the place i made my netherlands joke what is karoo tower that is correct i i would have gotten that i would have got i want to point out i would have gotten that i would have gotten it i would have gotten it yeah mark looked like he knew that one too i i only got there because you two spent like a few seconds like trying to pronounce it i was like what was that thing they were saying karoo karoo karoo We were pronouncing it fine. You were the one pronouncing it weird. All right, Mark, you get to answer. Headquartered here for 400. Hint, they announced in February of some year that they will be closing their downtown Cincinnati headquarters. What is Macy's? That's correct. Bizarre. Bizarre. I was surprised at the ones that you guys got right because I was thinking some of these would be really funny. The Macy's one, I was like, they're going to remember that. That's super weird. That's an interesting fact about Cincinnati. Wade, you get to answer. Cincy Slang for 300. What is Daniel Beard? That's right. You can tell my confidence level with how quiet I spoke. I knew Daniel, but I did not. I couldn't remember Beard. I remembered my Beard joke. I couldn't remember Daniel for sure. Well, man, between you two, you guys had that one completely locked down. It's Mark's board again. What board? Oh, actually, we should swap because you got. No, no, no. We should stick with Mark's board. Don't ask me that question. You're right. It's Wade's board again because there's one question we still haven't gotten right. Wade, headquartered here for 300. No, I've already forgotten. This company manufactures and markets umbrellas, gloves, brainwear, rubber rain boots, and other weather-related accessories. I told this answer to you two minutes ago. What is Toad Underboob? Oh, man. So close. So close. I'm sorry. That's not correct. Okay. Got one idiot, right? What a dumbass. I can't even remember the name in this case. Mark, I told this to you two minutes and 30 seconds ago. So, really, you get a little bit more of a break than Wade did. Uh-huh. Yep. Uh-huh. Totes. Oh. And interstellar. I'm sorry. That's incorrect. Don't tell us the answer, Bob. I think I got it. I got it. Oh, my God. This is the final question. So, I'm just going to let you go back and forth. I'm sure that Wade has this. Wade, do you want me to read the clue again, or do you have it in your head? No, no, no. I got it. They have umbrellas and boots, and they are. Yes, yes. Totes? Isotopes? I'm sorry. That's incorrect. Oh, God damn it. My turn? Yeah, Mark. Yeah, Mark. Do you have another guess? You're allowed to listen to each other's guesses and see if that helps. What the fuck? It's in something, right? Oh, man. Yeah, they're in Cincinnati. Oh, that's funny. Totes and isotoner. What is totes and isotoner? That is correct. I'm going to just pretend that you had a hiccup in the middle there, because the answer is totes isotoner. Oh. Oh. What is totes isotoner? Nah, nah. I already justified giving it to Mark. Oh, they'd get so much more business if they were totes isoboob. Can I look up totes isotoner, or do you have any other questions about it? No, you can look up whatever. That is the end of the Jeopardy. We have successfully answered all of the questions. Easy. Like I said, it would be from the very beginning. Weird. Weird. So there's an isotoner.com, and then there's a totes.com, but they're a company, a totes isotoner. Yeah, they're sort of branded as two companies. But isotoner, like gloves and outerwear stuff, is like a pretty big, like it's in Kohl's and Macy's, like it's in all the like department stores and stuff. I have heard of isotoners as like a nationwide brand previously. I don't know what totes, is totes literally like storage totes, or is it like gloves and shit? I don't know what I think about that. It's just a name for the boots and stuff. Totes brands includes umbrellas, rubber footwear, ponchos, I don't know if isotoner has a different one. Oh. You put easy in the name. I should have known. Easy, 20 easy questions. I knew it, and I still didn't. I still didn't get it. It was right there. They have nice looking flip flops on the totes website. See? Oh, and they have hats. Look at that. Sunny D in Rome. Yum, yum. Yeah, I was a little surprised you got Sunny D right off the rip. I was hoping that one would go to the. It was the only vitamin C product I could think of the name of, and it was only because the song came in my head. I mean, honestly, you guys did really good. I was hoping. But, like, we'd end up with, like, six-ish missed, and you did better than I expected. You only missed four of them. I guess I should have had more questions. I was afraid that was going to go on and on, but it's going to have to be 50 easy questions next time. Ugh. Oh. Wait, you're 12 to 50? Look, but if I do it, I'll tell you at the beginning, this is 50 easy questions. You can take notes. You can write stuff down. It's totally fine. I'm sure you won't get bored halfway through and stop remembering to write stuff down and still have questions. You'll never remember the answer to. I'm sure that won't happen. I'm sure. I'm sure. I guess the game is what the game is. I was thinking that'd go a little longer. This might end up being a little bit of a short episode, but that's fine. Sometimes you got smart contestants. That's fine. Dense. Dense of funny. Really, really funny. The funny per minute is huge. So you got to end it quick. Our ratio's going down. There's no funny from here on out. You guys earned points for. Oh, Mark. Mark earned points for Slap Yourself, Can I Call You Bob? You got Kroger, Please, Five-Way, Pop, Macy's, and Tote's Isotoner correct. Wade, you earned points for You Would Hate That About the Holes, You Burned Buc-ee's, because take that. Was that the shocking part? And also your shocked escalations of your reactions. Then you got Sunny Delight, Finley Market, Cincy Art Museum, Paycore Stadium, Karoo Tower, and the Daniel Beard Bridge correct. Making the final score, 10 for Wade and 1-2. Oh, 9 for Mark. It was closer than I thought it would be. Hey, I still got a chance. Wade did really good in the small talk, but you guys were very competitive with the trivia stuff. Just a little unfair that he got the slap. Oh! Oh! No! Oh, goddammit! I didn't mean to do that! Well, I was just thinking, like, I slapped myself, but he got the point. That hurt. Yeah, but I, you know. Okay, so. It was the delivery, though, because you were just sitting there, and Mark just went, Slap Yourself. And you did! Let's see if it. It is. Okay, so either I get a point for slapping myself, or he gets two. He gets an extra point for me slapping me? We'll decide exactly what happens if we have to. Right now, the flip is about the slapping yourself point situation. I want heads. I got the lady! That's heads. Oh, I got tails. Oh, I got tails. Okay. Yeah. Oh, thank god. Nothing happens. We almost had to give Mark extra points. All right, fair enough, fair enough. Well, the score is 10-9, and it's. It's time for the wheel. Wheelie wheel gets the grease. That's what I always say. Yep. And, of course, we're going to have three bonus spins, because why wouldn't we? That's what I'm talking about. How could we possibly not have three bonus spins? How about, uh, do the most trivia? That'll come up a lot. Yeah, that's pretty obscure. Oh, I got one. Said my name in the episode. That does not always happen, but today. Mark did ask what he should call me, and decided to call me Bob, which I do appreciate. All right. I said it again later, but it was his joke. Said Bob first in this episode. Okay, so every episode, we gotta be eating, drinking, making callbacks. Say Bob. I got it. I got it. The host has a real advantage here. Why would I say my own name? I'm Bob. Join as always with my co-host, Mark and Wade. Oh, that's true. I do that every time, unless I don't. I got a hundred and. 22 options here. I'm sure nothing bad will happen, especially not to me. Actually, Baltimore gets it first. That's true. Oh, that is true. Ah! Come on! Spin number one is sudden death. It's a tie. Fine. I guess that's it for the spins. That was easy. Okay. No more spins need to happen. Now we need to go to the winner's wheel. Which is currently at 10%. 10% of 360. Wait, I can do this. Does it increase in the beginning or the end? I can't remember. I think afterward, right? We add 2% after the spin is what we've been doing, right? I can't remember. We spun it not too long ago and it was 8%. You spin, then you add so it's more for the next person. We added after the spin I did. It was 8% for you and now it's 10%. That wouldn't happen. He said. No, no, no. Okay. Mark wins, baby! I knew it! Feels good. Feels good. Feels good. Feels very good. Feels terrible. Mark wins and everything is fine because it's not a one-man show. Holy fuck. Alright. That means I had to note this down. It is now 12% noted. - Noted, noted, Mark wins, it's written the book all right uh wade who's her speech i had this in the bag i went through all the different phases of being shocked slapped myself i knew some good trivia but fate hath decided that today would be unfair and i can say that word safely now because i accidentally already used it so unfair unfair unfair unfair unfair that's it that's it for me yeah it only happens once you're good it's it's in the constitution so it's basically god's rules at this point one easy win my episode thanks loser mark winner speech wow fate really loves me and me alone the world conspired to allow me to win and i take that i will humbly take that and unhumbly take this win both is how i feel right now i deserve it and i don't and i'm okay with that thank you universe for smiling upon me like you have every day of my life for listeners i'm thumbing up oh yeah yeah no yeah he's thumbs up he's thumbs upping real big and big smile for viewers i'm thumbing down he's double thumbing down thumbsing thumbsing down thumb downsing thumb down thumbs downsing downing i think it's thumb up high um thank you for listening or watching no listening to or watching this episode i'm just shocked i was sure it was going to be a one-man show i could feel it but then the universe was like no no we like mark and they it did it did what was right so congratulations to mark that means he's going to host the next one make sure you follow uh myself mark and i'll see you next time and wait is lord minion 777 or minion 777 we have merch distractible.shop check it out it comes and goes there is currently some stuff on there and there will soon be more stuff on there you gotta watch because he's this app these shows only come out like once a week and it doesn't always line like you should just check if you really want you just gotta check that's gonna be it thank you so much make sure you follow the podcast so you know when episodes come out that's the end of this one we'll see you next time when mark hosts podcast out © transcript Emily Beynon
