Everybody Hates Dor

Good evening, gentle listeners, or watchers, and welcome to "Destractable." Deceptical. Warbling George Wade takes a break, devours Grisham, drops mask, and talks hacks. Bingo-ringo bob, rations, epithets, micro-marathons, and potty trains has preferred progeny. Lex Catbutts and Chase's tail. Meticulous John Mark releases his legendary film Beats, has imposter syndrome, learns logistic jenga, and rejects wheels from multiple marks to ass-extructions. It's time for everybody hates door, now sit back, and prepare to be distracted, and enjoy the show. Hello everyone, welcome back to another episode of "Destractable." This is your first time joining us, then truly welcome. If you've come back, I only ask. Why? Join us always by my co-host, Mark and Bob. Hey guys. Hello, I'm Mark. Just want to be clear about that. I know we look the same. Same height, no. I'm Mark, that's Bob. That's gonna confuse everybody. We sound the same. We sound so much alike. Yeah, yeah, I know, right? I don't know which is which. I'm Wade. Wade? Bald. Easy to remember. If you're just listening, you can probably hear the bald. You can actually. The subtle reverberation, back in the room, off your head, back and off. It has to do with the way your head resonates when you speak. You're like a nicely leather-finished resonance box, where the hair on our heads just tamps down our, you know, overtones and just dulls our voices, really. Really ruined in the res. You know, Krillin from Dragon Ball said that it helped unfetter his chi. Then he grew hair later on. Yeah, well, he was just shaving himself bald. He wasn't actually bald. He was a wannabe. Not all of us can be a purebred. We have not been in a call. We did the one-man show where we kind of jumped right into it. We've not done like a normal episode. We've gotten to talk and just like catch up, small talk, like, I don't know any of what you guys have been doing. I feel like Mark's probably been doing nothing for the last month. Bob, you and I have been probably pretty busy. Final stretch. Final stretch. Stretching's good for you. Yeah, final stretch. This is the one. This is the one. Final stretch. This is an alpha and then it was in beta. Now final stretch is approaching 1.0. It was just early access, final stretch. Well, what's fun about today when this episode comes out, I believe this is for Monday. Yeah, this is the Monday before. Today actually is the day the soundtrack releases. Ooh. So right now, people can go listen to the soundtrack for iron long if they want to get a little taste. Unlike streamers and stuff, like, like, like, it's modifying. Yeah. Just in case people want to listen after, after the podcast afterwards, same time gives many devices you can and have one more playing the podcast than you have playing the soundtrack. But there's actually a rumor that if you play the soundtrack while you play this episode, they line up just like a dark side of the moon and Wizard of Oz. At 28 minutes in, the devil actually says in backwards language, because you're our jawline and obviously, Wait, it's McCartney and I'm Ringo. Everybody knows. You could be the drummer. All right. No pick it. Yes. Ringo is the much more popular beetle. I win. Well, I know he's not, but like he should be. He was fairly talented. Underrated. Does it make Amy Yoko? Oh no. Cause I feel like you should feel bad about that. I don't follow the whole interpersonal drama so much. Yoko was actually pretty talented. The stuff that she did around the time when people really noticed her when she was getting more famous. Not my favorite, but she also made like other really good music and like, Oh, really? I don't know. I think about it. It's not the clips that people pick out of her doing like, weirder stuff. That's all more out there stuff, but she made some really, she's actually really talented. Underrated. She gets a bad rap. Who's George? Uh, I think that's the name of the guitar that plays itself in the background. Wait. Your George. But I'm Paul. No. Your actual name is George, George Paul McCartney Harrison Ford George Paul McCartney Harrison Ford out there. You put my full legal name out there. You know what people are going to do with that information? Your cell security card is a nightmare. Tell you what. Actually, we had that situation with, uh, Lexian cause Portuguese infamously have very long names. I don't know if infamously, but they have multiple middle names basically regular famously. So his name was so long when we get to the security Warner Brothers, they were like, I can't find you. You're not. He's got to be on the list. Let me call someone. I circled around pulled off to the side, slowly crept back up being like, uh, we haven't pleasing. So he should be on there. I guess he was like, yeah, yeah. No. Where are you going? Okay. Yeah. We have someone by the name of Luis cost, but not a cost. That's that. Not Luis cost. Not to say his full name out there and release that information to the public. Luis cost up. Paul McCartney. John Harrison. Yeah, it was like, he read out the full name like Luis middle name, middle name cost. And you're Luis middle name, middle name cost, uh, and didn't a Picasso have like a ridiculously long name too. Pablo. Ah, my ear. Picasso. Yeah, but in Spanish, maybe it's like, you know, Spain, Portugal, they're annexed to each other. So they must maybe have similar customs names. Pablo Diego Jose Francisco, they follow on. For Mucano, Maria De los remedios, Cipriano De la Santissima, Tridad, Ruizy, Picasso. Jay, leave some for the rest of us. What the fuck? Damn. That could be like eight people. Yeah. When do we start rashing in names within the 90s? Okay. Hopefully. Please. Can I have some middle initial? I just want to name my daughter Dorothy. We don't even want to have a last name. I can give you a door. Dad, just because there's a story doesn't mean I like my name. How did you call me? Door. Good. Give you a door and a hyphen. It's taught to your brother, Jam. You guys are a pair. I know Mandy and I are not going to name our daughter Dorothy. Don't worry, Chad. Also, we don't have a daughter. That's a hypothetical daughter. Do you have a secret daughter that we've never known about? No. No, that would really prove some favoritism going on. If you keep going on with your son and all the stories about your son, it's like, oh yeah, also. There's a daughter somewhere in there. Hey, James is so great. James, James, James. Guys, we got a count of the number of times we've heard James. What about door? Oh, no. Maybe we'll go back and be like, oh my God, he's been saying door all along and we thought he's really the hardware. Oh my God. Door wouldn't shut up last night. I was like, hey, this dude's door is talking a lot with the hell. At 26 minutes, when we play James backwards, it's actually doors the favorite. Well, that's going to start some funny rumors. What were we talking about? Oh, long names. That's right. I think this was the small talk portion. Mark was talking about his final stretch and we've gotten the Dorothy somehow from there. I mean, I kind of jumped in, we got through the intro. I actually don't remember the last time we'd gotten together before a one-man show. It was, was it even this year? Yeah. We got together like the fifth or something, I don't know, like a couple of weeks ago. But hey, it's all done now, officially. I mean, in a week, the movie's going to be out. People will realize that I'm a giant fraud and they'll laugh when it's-- Oh, fraud. I think it's a frog. It's like, what a weird thing to think. Just don't spoil the movie, man, come on, man, not again. Do you feel like Bob and I were talking about this a little while you were gone? Do you feel like the pressure is off or do you think it'll wait till the movie's actually out for people to see before the pressure will feel like it's off? Oh, pressure's done. Pressure's way off now. All right, Bob wins. I'm better friends with Mark. I know how he feels. Yeah, well, all my pressure was on until I liked it, right? Because that's always, always is for me and projects is like, I get really stressed when it's not where I think it should be and that's what gets me if you about it. But it's already been where I wanted to be. This was just polished and finding all the missing pieces that fall through the cracks of which there are a lot, there's a lot of those things. I could talk about them if you want to know more. Floor's open. We've not been together in a while, so whatever, man. I do have a small talk, but it's not that interesting. Why don't you go first? As of the airing of this episode, I fucking better have walked a full marathon so far this year. As of right now, I am averaging more than one mile per day in 2026. I have had one day where I was really busy and I ended up just not doing one, but I've had multiple days where I've just walked a couple. So I'm ahead of the game, but yeah, I'm actually both Mandy and I, Mandy's way more ahead than I am. It's like seven or eight extra miles at this point, like she's been doing a couple miles a lot of the days. I'm sticking to the 365 miles in 2026. It feels good. I feel like I'm getting to the point. I'm almost on the other side of the, uh, it sucks, everything hurts. I hate this and getting to the like, I'm starting to feel better every time I go walk now. It's like, ah, nice. Oh, yeah. That's awesome. That's great, man. That's kind of my only big update. Oh, James's, well, it's not fair to say this. James is almost potty trained. James is wearing big boy underpants, so that's pretty big. That's huge. And he went a whole day yesterday with no accidents or anything, so he's in the potty like a real dude. He pisses everywhere about door, door sucks. I don't want to talk about that. - You never mentioned door again. - For time in the background that your door is opened, where it's mysteriously opened, we all thought it was just the wind. (laughing) - Just a little did we know. - My secret is out. - I guess before Mark goes, do I have anything interesting? - No. - Mark, talk about the movie. - Oh, okay. No, wait, you may proceed. - Molly just had her birthday. We ran around, I've been reading. So I took four days off. I've not taken actual time off or I haven't at least recorded YouTube videos. I took an actual four days off. And I read three books. It was like 1,470 pages of books. I read two John Grisham novels and I read "Project Hail Mary," which is now becoming a-- - Oh, "Project Hail Mary." - I've heard of that one, yeah. - Andy Weir, the writer of "The Martian." - I've not read that one. That one's on my list to read soon. Reading the book, I 100% agree with the casting of Ryan Gosling as the lead actor. Like I felt him in that role as I was reading the books. I think that was a perfect casting for the movie. So I'm hoping the movie's really good. - I hope the movie's good. - Yeah, but really enjoyed those books. I just started "Run Away Jury." I finished "The Firm" and "Pelican Brief." - Oh, sure, classics. - I just figured I'd go back and read from the start. I didn't read a time to kill because I've read that one a bunch. So kind of that one's still in my memory, but-- - You should read "Airframe." - I don't have that one. I've got, I want to get the exchange, which is like a Mitch McDiery sequel to "The Firm." And then I just got two more. I can't remember the names of. They were two more recent. The ones I read before came out like the early 90s. So it was like, this guy is advanced. He has a car phone and then he received a very threatening page. (laughing) - Oh, the mail. It's like the way they were tracking things. It's like, how can they ever get a hold of it without a tracker? It's not like he has any kind of technology on him. And it's like, man, this is gonna change in 20 years. Also, some of these books go into like traveling through air and stuff. And it's pre-9/11. So it's interesting here in like the airport experience and like pre-9/11 written books 'cause it's just a very different feeling in the world. But they were really good. I read a lot, enjoyed that, enjoyed my time off. Caught up on, I forget what shows. I've been watching Fallout and there's stranger things. I've not watched the critical role in the one, my D9, I've not watched that yet. It's on my list. Watched all of welcome to Dairy. I'm just, that's enjoyed some time off. And we went to Soto last night, which is my favorite, Soto. If not my favorite restaurant. Have you been there? I didn't think you'd been there yet. - Yeah, we went like, when Amy and I got married, we went there. Oh no, was it before we did that? I don't think we went during our wedding trip. Maybe we did. It was very good. It really was. And reasonably priced. - It is. I got some extra capillacci. I had that for lunch today, actually, it was really good. So, no, other than being cold, that being the one down. So I just been a pretty great start to the year. So, now my turn, everybody shut up. It's time for me to talk about the one thing that I'll never be able to talk about it after this. - I can't wait for that. - When's the behind the scenes doc coming out? 'Cause I'm here for that too. - Well, man, we should have been filming so much more of it after during the editing phase. We really should have, but we didn't. However, it's finally coming out on Friday. Not a joke. Who you be? They're gonna do reshoots to get behind the scenes footage. We're gonna reenact. (laughing) We could do that. It could be fun, it could be fun. - You could cast someone taller to play you in the reenactments. - Or shorter, so you could feel better. - There's a lot of steps to movies that, you know, people aren't aware of. - Right film cell, that it? - Right film cell, that's probably what most people think there is. - Click upload to YouTube, boom, it's a movie. - Dick upload to YouTube, click, but dick upload. - Okay, dick upload, it's a whole different thing. No, click upload. - In order to promote your movie, you gotta have a sex scandal. - Shane, it's not that easy. - Yeah, well, I mean, it's just a lot of logistics. And so it's the same with like, you know, doing the distribution. It's totally possible to do it independently. It's just like, it's just a lot of work and the less people you have, the more work there's to do on an individual level. And no, it's not as easy as just hiring other people for it. Because imagine there's a good allegory with the editing portion of it. When we're, you know, a few years into a project and I was to bring on someone completely new who had no idea what the hell was going on or what we've already done in the past or where we've ever been. And that's just like in small scale with the distribution. So when we get to this point where I have Lixian and Sam were both in to help out with this last part, which was, you know, the absolute finalization of the sound mix because number one, we were doing an Atmos mix or we had theoretically, we're like doing an Atmos mix. But now we really had to get the Atmos mix dialed in because originally with the independent theaters, not a lot of them have like Atmos rooms, things like that. And so now it's going to be going to get really refined it. So we were doing that while finalizing all that stuff. And then catching up on all the last little VFX bits that happen and the problem is like, if you may, and this is probably not for every movie, but because this one is so interconnected with like the location of where you are and the numbers that show up on the console. And unless you just want all that to be nonsense, and I don't, anytime you make like a little tweak, like, ah, I'm going to steal this shot and move it there and there. And, ah, it's like a janguitaur, right? You pull out that piece and all of a sudden proves these in a different spot. And, oh god, and so I have to, we have to go back. And once we're finalized, we had to go in and manually like make sure all the numbers were correct. Oh, geez. You had like five lines on Premiere Pro, right? That way. (laughing) Lines. Would you have like 80 cuts? 85? It's where I, again, sing the praises of DaVinci Resolve. And yes, it sounds like I'm a show, but I think everybody should go to DaVinci because being able to just go from there to one page infusion and do the special effects from the rotoscoping to the tracking, to the putting it in there, to the compositing, to all of that in one page, it was immense, but we had to get like 80 of them done. And so it was just me, Lixie and Sam, while I'm like looking up at the sound and being like, "Yeah, it's good, Bradner." I got my airpods with like noise cancellation and he's asking me questions like, "Is that good?" I'm like, "Well, all right." (laughing) And I mean, he's been working on it for two years. So he's mostly just putting things where they need to be, you know, getting all the effects right, making sure everything's balanced, making sure things are working in the surrounds is a lot of like little tiny things to do 'cause there's, he has thousands of tracks. That guy has over a thousand tracks. All, almost all of them filled with sounds at some point to be able to move all of them. That's why anytime you make a little tweak, everything comes tumbling down, you gotta put it all back together. Jesus. I do think that there are some more efficiencies to be had in the future. Again, Da Vinci has an audio section as well where it's called Fairlight. But in the industry, Fairlight is not really smiled upon. It's more kind of made fun of. And I think that's unfair, even though I've never used it in every time I've used this as crash the entire software immediately. It sounds fine. It sounds fun. Then again, he was going through crashes like non-stop. It was, I saw like every once in a while the whole, his whole system would just go, "Bong, all the lights would go down." He's like, "A mother fucker." Jesus, out of a full professional set up in a room. I would assume that's one of the things you eliminate when you get, you know, I can't even imagine how expensive of a room and equipment all set up for that exact purpose. It does sound like an nightmare, but these things, I guess everything just crashes at some point, even my software crashes. If I'm editing on my MacBook and the little rainbow wheel pops up for like 20 seconds, I'm like, "I'm never making anything again." Fuck this. No, man, I've gone through the funniest crashes. Sometimes it just turn your entire screen inverted colors for some reason. It's something went horrible with the graphics cards and it's, "Ha, ha, funny." And then I've had crashes that are just like, "Hey, you're using 200% of your system's memory." And I'm like, "How, how the fuck are you doing that?" Overclocking. Yeah, memory's expensive these days. How are you doing? I do have a question before I forget. I assume films aren't still put on film reels and then sent on giant circles to thousands of theaters. So what does the process of actually getting the movie to the theaters look like? You send a file, right? It's called DCP and you package up your entire movie and that with all the audio formats, you have one default and then you have the other ones and then it sends it up to some big server and they pull the movie out and it's tied specifically to those theaters and those projectors so that they can all have a secure version of the movie to play and then, blah, blah. Okay, that's what I played up. Yeah. Do you get to have at least one giant actual film reel? No, because you'd have to put it on film and it's a digitally shot movie. You could do that if you really wanted to, I suppose. Your first movie, you should do it. Just hang it on your wall. That way you have something else to do now that you're bored. I don't want to have film. I am not a, I've never shot film so I have known nostalgia for it. I cannot imagine operating under the limitations of film. It would be the most frustrating thing possible. Every time you wanted to butter your bread, you had to churn it with a wooden thing-am-a-bob before you were able to enjoy your bread. What did they switch away from film? I mean, they're still doing it. You talk about the giant reels. Is IMAX digital or is IMAX still film? IMAX is film, yeah. They have not yet made a sensor as big as an IMAX film thing. Cell or whatever frame. But they're getting close, they are getting close. And honestly, there is something to be said about that big image and it's very cool and all the detail. You'd have to get something equivalent to 24k resolution to get close to the amount of detail. It can, but it is impressive. But the cumbersome nature of it is, it's like, you don't need to do that for most 99% of stories out there. And I think that anyone that's like, you absolutely have to work with film if you want to call it. yourself a film maker, I just like, yeah, I don't know about that. Can you imagine if I had a cut that you do iMacs and Omnimacs? I earn long an Omnimacs. Omnimacs, which one's the Omnimacs? I think isn't that like the big theater? That's the big like dome screen theater where like it's one in the Cincinnati Museum. Yeah, yeah, yeah, like come on and adventure with us. That's just blood and whatever is on the planet, whatever's on the planet. That's a moon, it's a moon, thank you. You know your stuff. You've been working on this a while, haven't you? Yeah, a little bit. Yeah. Anyway, that's it. We did a lot of the. Oh, wait, have you seen, have you held a real popcorn bucket? No, I haven't. They must be in production by now, right? They must be like. Actually, I had a conversation with them because they were behind because they got to it late. So they were like, we're not going to have enough to do right there. So we'll do pre-orders. And I was like, oh, well, that's not good because then people won't have it. So I said, what if we release the 3D print file and everyone can print their own buckets and if they wanted to paint it, they could, if you know what I'm saying, it's up to them. But if they bring a printed bucket to a theater, regals, the one who was parting with this, they get free popcorn, free small popcorn, but they get, you know, they could get free small popcorn. And then like the actual model of the popcorn bucket would be out for everyone available there. Then you, they would still be able to sell like the fully painted hand made, or not handmade, but, you know, hand-painted official ones, but then everyone could have their own if they really wanted to. That would be pretty sick. And I'm able to do that because Molly made the model for the bucket. Oh, bless my wife. Who didn't do that? Hardest Molly. Molly Brown. You claim, and yet every time you mean to text her, Molly gets a coupon for a free ride somewhere, but he's never knows where she's going, but that, that drive's always coming to pick her up. So anyway, yeah, that's it. So this will be the end of movie talk for quite some time. Well, I can't be true. We're going to have to talk about after it comes out when we see it. We saw it, but we saw the two year ago edition, year and a half ago, whatever it was, the dish. So it's probably pretty similar. I mean, it's in a notion of blood still. It's just going to be like Comic Sans font now is the big change. I did that for a second on some temporary stuff and people, I got a, I got an email from someone that was like, uh, I don't mean to be out of place here, Mark, but, um, maybe a different font choice would be the best. That's really funny. I don't know what else to talk about. I feel like we've kind of been along on this journey for so long. Like, what's next? What, what, what will Mark do? What's the next movie? Is it already work being worked on? No, not really. I, I don't have anything. Deal Kidney? Deal Kidney. I do. Go 50, 50 on it. Yes. It's already more than zero. So yes. Yeah. Okay. Now, yeah. I'm going to stick to YouTube for a bit and just relax. I do that all my life. I really have like, it's, it's wild that like, I still go to like the Milford cinema quite often. It's just nostalgia. It's like, you know, the place we went growing up. The thing that like, I don't know, it's weird. Of all the places your face is going to be soon to be like in a theater where it's like, oh, we're going to watch the movie stars and these great movies and crazy things. It's like, you've made something that's going to be played on one of those screens. It's a wild thought. I mean, it's more than I thought it would ever be. So this has already been the, the shock of that, thankfully, has kind of passed a little bit. And now I just get to, get to enjoy it. I, I love the fans because they're so funny sometimes because there's a lot of icy poster wheels, like now, now guys, everyone, please don't get your hopes up. He's a first time filmmaker, you know, not everyone's the first ever dude. He's going to be that great, you know, he's a real mid actor. We just got to support him. We just got to think 1970s incredible Hulk, not 2020 endgame, you know, I'm like, thanks. We got some claymation, Godzilla coming in and they know how to conserve their faith. Movie stars is just mark holding like a toy subring. It does, I mean, it does, that does happen on the distractible subreddit sometimes. But man, I have never seen a subreddit quite like our slash Markiplier filled with people who you can tell are just genuinely trying to be as nice as they possibly can be and are just chucking spears right at your heart with every set and say time. I really do think you mean to be nice, but please, please stop and that's fine. I wouldn't have it any other way because this keeps our expectations really low. So that when I surpass them, they'll be like, I can't wait. Oh, man, the opening's going to come with a fucking balls. Are you doing like a late night tour of or anything? Like don't people go around and promote stuff after it's come out? Are you doing that? Yes. I have like a bajillion interviews this weekend. Oh, hell. I have to be at the first one at the Chinese sear on the 27th and then I have a Q&A one at a regal on the 28th. And then I'm hoping to get to Cincinnati for some of the opening weekend ones. That would be very fun. That's exciting. That would be very nice. Haven't been back in a bit, Mr. Christmas, but it's weird. I came back home after it was like when I, when I finally was like, oh, fuck, it's done. And I just, I just laid on the couch. I cried. Like you wouldn't believe just the stress, just leaving my body. It was nuts. I didn't even realize I'd been holding on to it that hard about like 30 minutes. I just cried. And I felt so just light afterwards just, oh, it was nice. Yeah. Now, there's definitely been some moments of like tension we've seen. I'm sure you've followed up even more than that. I can't imagine what this amount of pressure would feel like. And also finally getting to relieve it. That's way more than I could imagine going through. Yeah. That would have been fine if it was just the 60 to 100, that would be totally fun. And now, now it's more and this is, this is really cool. I hope it opens up doors, not just for me, but for other creators out there. I think that it's a really cool opportunity that a lot of people are rallying around. And then just, yeah, I don't mean to be a spear hurler. Okay. Hurl me. Actually, it's not you. I think that you in space with who killed Markiplier with, um, I used with all those things. Like I think you've been innovative. You've been creative. I've been using a new and interesting things. I think a lot of creators are more like me and take like the laziest path possible once they get like a chance to make something. I think that opening more doors for you could lead to some really cool stuff and other creators. There's some other creators that can also do some amazing things. But I feel like there's definitely going to be some subpar stuff that would come out of that sphere because not everybody has the drive and the passion that you do in this industry. A lot of people are creative, which is amazing, but there's a mixture of people. There's people that are in it just for the money. There's people that are in it just for the creative side. There's people that are in it for some mix of both and probably other motivations that I'm not even thinking of right now. So I hope more people like you come out and make amazing things, but I do think that there's going to be a lot of subpar stuff from people that have a platform, but don't put in the kind of effort and work and passion that you do. Oh, well, I mean, thank you very faith me and I do know, yeah, there probably are going to be some real shit video game adaptations after this. I got a funny feeling. Not saying not naming any names. Every video game movie has been great before now. But I think there actually will be, it'll be a mixed bag, right? But I think overall just as a trend, there's huge opportunities for these not to cost. I've said that for a while. That was not to cost of a $1,000,000 to make a movie. I think that there is a market to have, you know, the low budget under a million dollar budget movies in theaters for people to see. I think that's fun. I think that there's plenty of opportunity for that and I hope to see more of it. And even a shitty movie I would love to go see. I kind of like to see bad movies ever once in a while, just it doesn't have to be cats where it's like already a $300 million movie and it's also bad, you know, we don't need that. We can have a $500,000 bad movie, but people go see it. I saw people that were comparing cats to your meow video and giving your meow video, the higher rating between the two. I thought you guys would put buttholes on them or something like that. Didn't they have to edit out the buttholes and cats? Why were their buttholes, they have, wouldn't they have had to edit them in? Were they naked? Anatomical correctness, Wade. Cats have buttholes, even giant humanoid, human sized cats. I just assume those were CGI, they could choose whether or not to make the buttholes. What do you think they're licking down there? Dessert? I don't know. It is dessert. Butthole dessert. Especially what we call Lexi. Butthole dessert. What do we say about potty on the floor? You know what the horrible thing about that was and now that I've done more VFX myself is they didn't have any of the actors wearing like tracking suits. What were they? Wait, I assume how, what were they wearing? Normal clothes, which is almost infuck and possible to track on because it's moving and rippling and I thought they'd be like full suit, green dots or whatever. I thought they'd have the whole you'd think, but the director who had very little experience in VFX was like, nah, I don't want them getting distracted with these suits. That makes me sad, it is very sad. That's almost funnier. So for like people outside the industry, which I'm including myself in, like when you see the footage of like a Marvel movie and you see it's like a huge fucking blue everything on their standing on blue boulders and like Iron Man is just covered in tracking dot and all this shit. And like the only one who's not covered in blue and dots and shit is like Chris Evans because Captain America just is a guy and and you see the behinds in their like acting and you're like, that was that would be so silly. That must be hard. It would be way way fucking funnier if it's just a room full of normal looking people wearing normal clothes, but they're all like. "I'm a cat, I'm a cat, I'm a big fucking cat." - Honestly, I would have loved to watch that. - You need a little bit of suspension of reality to be a human cat, not-- - With Thanos, one of the other big bad guys, not only did they have the tracking stuff, didn't they have just a little rod with a thing on it, they're like, "This is where you look to look into my face." - Yeah, for a line of sight, they have extensions or whatever 'cause you need all the line of sight to line up correctly. - So you're not even looking at the actor's face while you're yelling at them, and you're looking at something floating above their head? - Oh, I might be wrong about that. Oh, wait, no, I might have been misled. I might have been got. It looks like they did have subtracting suits. My bad. - Mm, mm, mm. - I like Mark's version better. (laughs) - Where did I hear that? I blame corridor for that one. I'm gonna throw a corridor under the bus for that one. - I'm finally this just chit chat about anything. I don't have anything like current event. Why do you guys want to talk about? - Oh, nothing's been happening in the world worth talking about. - Oh, no, I've been pretty boring, I think. I've been walking around like this, but I'm pretty sure it's all boring and everything's fine. - Oh, I've been walking around like this, you know. - You gotta be careful though. Stuff above you is not what you wanna be looking at. You should wear hats. - No, I squint really hard. - I just do not watch the news. You hear some of the big things, but it's not good. Video game was, oh, I did have some video game stuff that I wouldn't talk about, what it was though. There's a lot of Pokemon fan games, right? And I saw a ROM hack recently. I don't know how new or old it is. I think it was called like Pokemon All-In. And everything in the game is gambling. Like you can't catch Pokemon. You earn and gamble for coins to go to like a, one of those little gumball type machines and you put your tokens in and a random Pokemon pops out and that's the one you're stuck with and whatever. All the items like potions and stuff, you can't buy them. You gotta go get them in a casino. There's loan sharks, it's like an entire just gambling experience that you go fight. So you can get more money to buy gambling tokens. - Free, real life free in game, all gambling. - Well, you know, that's where the world's moving towards. - You mean surprise mechanics? - God, I love surprise mechanics. - Surprise mechanics, is that what they're calling it on it? - That's what they've been called since they were surprise mechanics in battlefield too. - I thought I had a video game I wanted to talk about, but oh, hi-tail. You guys have any interest in hi-tail? - Yes, but I have not played it or seen it. It's what was originally the Minecraft mod called high pixel, I think. It was like they decided to make it its own game. It's unrelated to Minecraft, but it's a similar, it's based the block-based crafting game. But then it like development died and it got sold to write games and then they killed it and it was just shelved. And then at some point the original developers got the rights back, they bought it back from Riot. It just came out in like early access, like less a week ago or something like that. But it feels like Minecraft 2.0. It's different, it's markedly different. It's not just like a copycat, a copycat, but I've played a little bit of it and it's fascinating. And it was like nostalgic but fresh in that way, where it's like it captures the Minecraft thing, but I was having a lot of fun with it, which I haven't played a solo survival game ever since I spent time in Minecraft messing around. So is it solo? You can play multiplayer, but I just started my own world and was just messing around and playing solo. And like I didn't even try and get anyone to play what I was like happy to play by myself, which I thought was super interesting. But given our personal history with Minecraft and general connection to it, I just feel like, I mean, maybe we should play it together and see if it's fun, but also I was curious if you guys know about it or if you try it, let me know, 'cause I'm curious how you like it. I heard if Minecraft was made like in 2025, it'd be like what it looks like or whatever else. Like those are the things I've heard, but nothing specific. I know it's still very early access. - Yeah, it's not, it's just early access. It's not even on like steam or anything. You have to go to their website and like buy an early backers edition and they let you download the launcher and stuff all directly from them. - But kind of like how original Minecraft was, I guess. - I mean, that's kind of how it feels, honestly. Like it feels, it does feel like if Minecraft just came out this year instead of in 2009 or whatever. But it's interesting. We have a lot of connections to that game between the three of us. - You guys like factory builders, right? Like satisfactory and factorial and stuff. - Sure, sure. - I've not done much of it, but there's one called alchemy factory where it's like you're a shop owner and you're making like health potions and stuff and you have to like build a factory to make those and then like you have ways of getting them to the shelves or people to come and buy them. And then there was one that just came out in early access called star rupture, which is kind of like satisfactory but a heavier focus on fighting. I thought those might be interesting games. - It could be fun, I guess. - I got really into satisfactory. I guess three of us played. I don't remember playing with you guys, sorry, but I don't. But I played it with Molly a whole bunch and we got very deep into it. I had a very, very intricate factory and it got to the point where I had to like re-optimize everything at the very end game. I just couldn't bring myself to do it. So I never finished it, but I got super into like the factory building stuff and trying to like min-max and make sure like you have the right amount of smelters to minors to, you know, distributions that you're using all your resources efficiently. I think that's fun. It could be very tedious and taxing, but it's very fun. - It doesn't sound like either if you would enjoy playing those games with me, but I do like them in my own special way. - Is that me? - I like to make nightmares. I've talked to you guys about what's it called? Game it out or whatever, let's game it out. - Oh yeah, I think I remember that. - Who just makes like, you know, pushes things to the limits and makes crazy. That's how I play those sort of games. I still find them very fun, but I don't play them efficiently and I make a scary bullshit that never works quite right and looks ridiculous. - That's fun too, but like I said, once you get to the end game and you have to like, you've got 18 layers of production that have to get to this machine that takes like six inputs. It's like, if you don't have it somewhat optimized, it's just you're never gonna get anything done. - Just keep connecting stuff until it works right. - Yeah, it'll work eventually. If it doesn't, you're not trying hard enough. And you need to try harder. - If it doesn't, you haven't connected everything. Just plug more stuff into more stuff. - There's a few interesting things in the world out there that if you guys are curious about, let's say, the 25 worst items pulled from people's butt in 2025. - I think that gave me heartburn. What did you just say? - Are they unique or are they the same 25 worst items from last year? 'Cause I know there's basically the same collection year to year, but I'm just curious. Is one of them Steve-O from JackS? - All of Steve-O. - I'll tell you, rock is on this list. - Dwayne? - It says a rock, but it's not, you know, doesn't specify which rock. It might be the rock, but it might not. - Gary A. Rock, Stevenson? He's way less famous than the rock. - Some animals eat rocks that like, and they'll help in digestion. Maybe someone butchugged a rock, hoping it would help with the digestion issues. - It could be. There's not many explanations of why there's a couple here, but I'll go through it. A thermos, like a whole thermos? - That sounds big, that sounds too big to me. I wouldn't want that unsound good. - It was discovered only during a police body scan. So I'm assuming it was holding something other than coffee? - Yeah. - Tea. - A corn cob style pipe and a button, no, it was in two eyes. (laughing) That's where he goes during the summer. - Okay, so this one's confusing 'cause it says a plastic coat hanger, which is like, okay. But then it also says, "Kama altered so the person could drive to the ER." (laughing) Oh, they were just hanging up their butt holes so they could make alterations. - I didn't want to do the alter afterwards before, was it already in there and they altered? Did they, like, tying a cherry stem with your tongue? Did they alter it so I got to drive? So I got to get this. - They clandest and just snapped it in half, so it would fold up. - Yeah, I used to do that so I could do that with metal ones. You put a whole metal hanger in, pull out a straight piece of wire, put the straight wire back in, put it back in, they pull out a whole hanger, back and forth, back and forth. - That would actually be amazing to witness, but also, no. Maybe it was a distractable listener who heard about us bunking our beds and was like, "Oh, plastic coat hanger, "I got one of those. "I just need to cut it in sections." So it's like slicing tables that they have, that feel people cut stuff with. That someone's butt is just that. And that's really scary. - I get the name of it, but we had when it's school, it was always like a real scary thing to use. - That's just a paper cutter? Like a gay teen style paper cutter? - Yeah, but like the real giant table with a huge blade, you're like shhunk, shhunk. - Dude, it's just like a paper cutter. It's for cutting papers. Or whatever fits in your butt, I guess. - I guess. Anyway, we're only three of 25. It was a light bulb. - You. - Which end first, do you think? - I assume they were trying to make it work, so I would assume socket end first. And then when it didn't work, they were like, "Oh, I must need to screw in further." And then just kept going. - What if it did work when a socket was like, "I wonder if it would work the other way." (laughing) - I'm trying to think of an aesthetic pun. Ascetic electricity, beard clippers, wrapped in plastic. - Ah, for sick, cleanliness? - For constipation relief. - Were they on? (laughing) - Like, man, I really need something to vibrate. Ah, I wish I had it. Oh, I know what vibrates. - I want my shit to come out of it, too. (laughing) - You pull it out in the guard, popped all the way off. I'm really, "I'm bald in there!" (laughing) - All right, so then it gets more generic from there. You got a doorknob. - Sure. - Sure I know what's been there. - I'm not sure. If it was attached to the door someone walking into the yard was just a fucking door strap behind the How do we get in doc turn the knob? Oh, yeah Sandal marbles an egg Uncooked pasta came out cooked Why would you put uncooked squid ink pasta up there? Oh, it was just normal pasta Wait, what the fuck? Cuz the poop mark a Toothbrush film canister a battery powered light a flashlight these are two different entries vape two pencils a Rock eyeglasses plastic cleanser bottle filled with liquid eyeglasses in a case They keep fall off my shirt. We're not gonna keep them a wine stopper that one's obvious I get what that's for a wine decanter. I get what that's for as well. That's not on the list. I've made it. I made a funny I feel sick Turkey baser corn cob holder which I think is the spiky thing that goes into a corn cubs Oh, I hope not a full shampoo bottle listed twice Don't know if that's the same person put it back in the moment. They got it out Weird dude head and shoulders my ass. Oh my ass And then a baseball the explanation for that was to see what it felt like I don't know why but I was really hoping the explanation would be out at home Yeah, cuz he no, I get it. I get it. No, actually explain it explain it for those at home who didn't get it Catchers garden home plate his his glove has fallen off. He's desperate to make the catch It's a really it's a really fast hard throw from the outfield. It's perfect and in a fit of desperation He squats down catches it. It is ass as he makes the tag But the runner really you know there's a lot of contact and it just gets stuck But he got the out happens to the viscous. Let's see wanted to see how it felt I don't know if we can pop what's happened here So I think that that's that what people really needed to know about how life's been for us since the last time We did a normal episode and I think we're gonna we're gonna wrap it there the but the but whole stuffers stocking stuffers really encapsulates what Distractable is I had an article that's do you want to share it Bob? Yeah, I thought that's what was really funny All right. All right, you know what fair enough January 13th authorities in Missouri say that the multiple monkeys Who have been on the loose in the St. Louis area have now been joined by a wayward goat Attempts to find this group of animals are being hampered by AI because people keep generating videos and images of the group of animals Being in places where they are not also I just want to say I'm really sorry to this person but a spokesperson for the St. Missouri Health Department or St. Louis Health Department whose name is Willie Springer said that the search has been further Complicated by people making funny joke videos that are AI generated of the animals committing crimes and Vandalizing things and jumping on people's trampolines in their backyard well not real trampolines But also Willie Springer Willie you're only I'm not gonna lie a lot of those backyard trampoline videos did get me like that fooled me But now every time I see a night vision animal video. I'm like it's gotta be fake My favorite my favorite one and also the one where that I that got me when I he was all in one night I watched like some deer or some bears and then there was one where a trampoline Wonders in the edge of frame and climbs up on the trampoline and a trampoline is jumping on the trampoline and I was like Got me But that's very funny related unrelated. I feel like I would I really want to jump on a trampoline It's been so long, but I feel like I would really not feel good after doing it at this point in life Gotta go to one of those indoor trampoline parks. It's safer. Let's then know be lots of people there to videotape I've been to one of those ones. It's been a long time. Was that with you guys? I'm e maybe I got nothing else to say any final thoughts or words marks marks article was better animals on trampolines great But holes very distractible, you know, I guess I'll go through the the points here corridor crew Lost a point for the cat lies. I really was gonna sign that to mark But he passed the box of corridor crew has anyone ever gotten just a negative one point. That's not one of us in an episode I'm sure one of our wives has done that more like listeners or watchers or something I know we've given points. I don't know if I've ever just done a negative to someone else But anyway, congrats corridor for maybe having the record is first Mark you got points for some man, Bob and I were just talking about how I can't read it in my writing. We were talking about that sound to Make out now that can't be what that is What I think to make out is actually two words not three. I just can't tell which where they begin and end I hope people have been making out during iron lawn, you know who knows Uh the final final stretch. You're a da Vinci shill cats not fair light Decanter 2028 items in butthole. There's a big jump from not fair light to decanter I feel like if we were to look at the time code of the movie of the episode Yeah, I got kind of caught up in conversation and probably didn't assign any points for a while But it's okay. You get seven there. It's okay. All right. Okay. I'll take it. I'll take it. I'll take it Bob you got points for walking New York real man remember that when you said that walking New York real man. I do it every day Oh, New Year's resolution walking New Year's resolutions what that is Uh beetles Uh, you're a better friend that I am Uh, you gave out my full legal name Mark did that but sure yeah, but if rat room money that can't be what that says This is worse than usual man. What episode did you listen to this sounds like cool I started to write butthole something that you said I didn't finish it. So it just says butthole why high-tail Animals on trampolines and had to explain your baseball joke. Whoa. Whoa There was a big gap in mine too wait a minute. It ends up to nine. So right now it's nine to seven Bob Them's the brakes Would we do after that? I forget wheels. We wheels the wheel thing. Oh man. How could I forget these were so good to me last time I think a two would be real funny much prefer one Three is just two randoms. We want to see that sweet number. All right. I got a chance All right. Well, what do you add to the wheel? I hadn't got that far made most references to the past How we're gonna keep track of it? No idea I mean, it's a new one. I gotta get. Yeah. All right. We're show hold and we get one big old spin Man imagine if out of 88 options you land on it's a tie We don't have to hit let's just go point to the list. There's like usual move on Oh Used best word Decanter is the best I have written down at Mark said but I said vicissitude I don't when did you say vicissitude that's a great word. Well, I'm probably said that somewhere in there. I use that word all the time Mark gets it for Decanter God damn it Was like that is a good word. Are you saying if it want a great word? Am I the host now because I win? I guess so congratulations Bob. You're the victor. It's not a tie. That's so sad. I can't believe it Yeah, it's close. It's close It was close and I want to like the end. Yeah, but you know at the end Bob you came out ahead. Why don't you give us a winner speech? It's been so long since we've done an actual episode of this podcast that I sort of forgot how it worked But now that we've had a chance to warm up, I remember it doesn't doesn't really work the same way every time anyway So it's gonna feel just as new and backward next time which is hilarious because how many we're verging on 400 episodes of this now? Something like that. Oh Lord really? We're just somewhere in that ballpark. Is it not nice? Pretty cool It's still you know what you guys keep it fresh Congratulations to us all but mostly me I guess congratulations. Oh Yeah, that was it was nice for a second there um mark not winners speech Uh, I didn't win and that's what happened. Um, I came into the show. I didn't get points. He did therefore One is bigger than the other which one was the bigger number is that the winner? Yes. Am I the loser? Also, yes, are these the facts and is this what happened? That's for the judge to decide and he did The end All set with writing like that. I can't wait for the movie coming out a few days guys If you haven't gotten tickets go see iron lung 3d print your buckets and uh, I guess they tuned for this We're probably hosting you haven't already who followed Bob at my skirt market Markiplier or is it iron lung dot com?
