Hey everyone, welcome back to another episode of Distractible. I'm today's host. Because fate saw it fit to be so. Joining me as always is my co-hosts, Mark and Bob. This is the show where one of us hosts, the other two compete for points. Whoever has the most at the end gets to win and host the next one. Hi, guys. Hello. Hi. All right, that's all I had. That's all I had in my script. So you guys talk now. What's up? What's new? That's the whole episode. That's the episode. We're done. I mean, I've got a interesting little tidbit about the movie that not many people would know. Great. Apple just announced this. This whole new line of things. One of them, which is a new display, which is very expensive. And I'm not saying I recommend it, but I will say this. There were certain moments in the movie where you need ADR. ADR stands for. Oh, sure, sure. Yeah. It's where you record a line that wasn't captured on set either because it wasn't captured well or you're trying to replace a dialogue or sneak something in, right? So there's a couple of moments where it is. And the trouble with ADR is that. It stands out if it's not done well. Right. Usually in the circumstances, I'm working with Brad, the sound guy, and he's got a good microphone. We're in a good sound environment. And I've done it on my own during the edit where I've like, I've got, I've got access to good microphones. I've got good sound environments. I know how to do that. And I know how to record. So I've done ADR through a couple of times throughout the movie where I've done it with like this condenser mic, which is, you know, it didn't work because, you know, we didn't have this type of mic on set. So clearly that isn't right. So I got the exact shotgun microphone. And love that we had on set. And I tried that and it still wasn't quite a perfect match, but you know, Brad was able to massage it a bit better. And then I got really high end, like shotgun mic. That was a stereo mic. And I'm like, okay, let's try to try something else here. Funky. And it didn't get well. Well, I got to tell you on that one of the final passes of the edit, I recorded some temp stuff because I was like, I'm not even going to worry about it. I'm not even going to try to make this match. I'm not going to set up my big microphone. There's a microphone in this monitor. I'm just going to record it temp. So I have it and I know to replace it, it'll sound so bad that it'll be so easy to replace. Gets over to Brad. He messages me or when I show up there for this final stage, he's like, man, whatever mic you used for these last ADR was really good. Like it just melted right in, it was perfect. It just sat so good in there and I was like, you mother fucker, that was on a monitor. It was a monitor's microphone built in. It was one of Apple's studio displays. And that's not to say that I don't like it. I'm not going to say that that's the greatest microphone ever, but I have to remember, and this is important about ADR is if you're recording stuff on set, you have to remember that that is not a perfect sound environment. You especially the iron lung, the sub is literally a barrel, right? It's got reverb. There's no sound dampening. It's kind of a knockly environment. There's also in a warehouse, you know, kind of like bleeds out, bleeds in. The thing about that microphone is like, it's just shitty enough that it replicates the kind of bad environment. And it's important because the size of the room I was recording was just a regular bedroom, but it kind of is roughly the size of that room. It's not a barrel shaped, but you know, it's so it's important to remember, it's not about the best, highest quality equipment that you could possibly get, especially when you're doing ADR because you didn't, you might've had good equipment, but you didn't have a controlled environment when you're recording it on set. And almost all of the stuff in the movie still sounds good because it just has that room. And if you have a clean room with no reverb. It's not going to sound as good because well, it won't sound right because it won't match everything else. Right. Okay. There you go. That's my lesson about it. I do like that. That's very funny. I've definitely watched movies and TV where they're like, the, the dialogue has a certain quality to it. And then you get to a moment where they clearly did an, it did some ADR or to put something in. And they're like, yeah, we go outside what the fuck. It's even like, it's bad audio. It's just like jarring when the, there's nothing happening, but a person talking, but you're like, well, do we just teleport? Did we time travel? What happened? Some water along in my ear. Yeah. I I've heard of situations where actors sometimes refuse to go into an ADR studio to go do something. And they just recorded on their phone. And sometimes there are bad ADR just because the actor didn't or couldn't make it into a sound booth. But at the same time, working with Caroline, who was, who's Ava in the movie. I think I can say her name now. I would sometimes say, you know, you could just record this on your phone. It's going to come through a shitty, it's going to sound like a shitty speaker anyway. So it might work for it. She's like, no, no, no. I'll make time. I'll go to the studio. It's no problem. And I'm like, all right. Like I totally respect the, the work ethic and admiration for it. And I'm like, I want you to have a professional environment. So then you played her voice on a speaker and recorded it on your phone anyway. Yes, exactly. And then I played it again and we use that to get in there anyway. So it's a sound is funny sometimes. The amount of nuance that people can pick up, especially of like bad sound, quote unquote, bad sound spaces is not bad. It's natural to that space. And I think that, you know, if I'm going into future projects, I got to keep that in mind to like bad sound, isn't bad if it fits what it's supposed to be and, and setting yourself away from the highest quality things can allow you to see the options that are there that I never would have considered because it is a goddamn microphone in a monitor. You would never even have used that. Accidentally. Like, it's weird that that came up and it wasn't like you recorded on your phone or some on your YouTube setup or something. You were just like, fuck, whatever this fucking thing it's plugged in. Let's do it. It's plugged in. That's all I said. Yeah. And it, and it, it literally sounded exactly like we, we captured it on set. It was crazy. Yeah. And it was only for a couple of lines there, but yeah. That's cool though. I mean, I, I thought he was being sarcastic. Like I thought the whole setup was, he was being sarcastic. That's why you fired him. No, no. Well, yes. The VFX team and literally everybody. Yeah. Retroactively fired everybody. That way you didn't have to pay them their bonuses. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. That's the whole thing. Oh man. You know me. And also I have things going on. Great. Cause it's your turn. Oh, that was my full update. Um, oh, okay. It's been, uh, the, uh, the, the walking. I saw a post on the subreddit of someone who was like, Bob's walking a mile a day this year. Uh, and I was like, that's a good idea. And then I know, realized that according to their Apple watch. They already walk like two, two and a half to five miles a day because of work or something. And they were like, well, I'm just going to walk more. I think their goal is like 10,000 steps a day, but it's, it's working and I am keeping up. It's, it's been difficult. We traveled and we had other stuff going on, but, uh, as of right now I can get the actual, Nope. It's not going to happen. There it is. I have 58 miles under my belt and I believe that's approximately the right number of days in this year. Uh, so I'm still on track, which is exciting. That's awesome. It's getting, it's getting to the point now where in the beginning it was exciting and I got, I definitely got into the point where it was like, oh, this sucks. We're traveling. I don't want to do this. And I'm starting to finally get back into a rhythm and it's getting to that point where it's like, I'm succeeding. I just need to make it till the end of the year. Like I'm getting, it's a habit. So it's not like it's not new and exciting, but I'm like invested in it now, which feels good. I'm excited to get there with stuff, especially stuff that's like exercise is just not a core part of my health. habitual routines in any way but it feels good that it kind of is now and if i keep going like it'll build and maybe i'll do more than just walk a mile hopefully but that's you know keeping the mile a day thing it's feeling really good which is not unsurprising a little surprising but i'm glad it's working yeah from what i've learned about when i hated running to when i was okay with running and i still don't like running is so long as you sit in the point where you think you could do more and you don't push yourself too soon to go to the next step you'll always stay in that kind of i'm okay with this you just don't want to be in the i hate everything about everything stage and but i'm not even exercising it's a it's an easy trap like i get on social media and stuff i get things you know influencers fitness people where it's like oh i could do that what if i add and i'm and part of me is like oh no keep build the habit don't add too much but then my other my brain is like you lazy fuck you could do way more what are you talking about and i'm like no no right we're still like we're sticking to a mile maybe a couple miles we're sticking to doable until it's a habit and then because i 100 if it becomes a thing where i'm like oh i hate this i stopped doing it i'm awful at maintaining habits like that until it's like ingrained this might be the longest i've ever stuck with a new year's resolution it's pretty good it's progress really good best i can relate is i've been a lot better about flossing my teeth like brushing i do flossing was like once or twice a week but i've been flossing at least once a day that's a lot of flossing jesus i've been doing it yeah but nobody flosses once a day i know but i actually like have been well i floss once a week i'm like all right close enough i don't know why or whatever reason but i've just been doing it more yeah well it's all good taking care of ourselves is good because you know why we're not getting younger it's actually what my next episode is going to be about can i also say one thing that is very funny that i'm discovering uh no yeah go ahead cut recording mark just tell me i'm interested this is one of those things where it's like even talking about this i could i can tell like it could cross over into me being pompous and weird and and elitist and and whatnot but i find it very funny because the movie came out so theaters are paying their share like i've talked about that before on interviews and stuff it's like a 50 50 split between theaters and and me for for the pay minus the percentage that the um that uh centurion films the people helping out the small company with the small theaters think they're sending checks almost all of them are sending physical checks each individual theater so the real cost of a break-in isn't your valuables it's the feeling that your home

follow-up on that wade i have an interesting follow-up from the subreddit on that but mark continue your story they're sending you physical checks for some fucking reason and and it's not even a problem that i have to deal with but it's a problem that my accountant has to deal with because uh mary's her name and she's great we've been working together for years and years and years now i know mary she's the best yeah mary's the best right so mary has to has to make trips to the bank with like bundles of checks this big and i'm like do you do you need like security or something do you need someone to help you with it and it's like they're they're they're it's really wonderful it's so cool like get paid and obviously i would give a bonus to the crew and this is great amounts to kind of like make your mind explode sometimes but the i haven't seen a picture of it but it's a visual imagery of just like a bundle of checks like in in there's some blowing away because you just can't carry them all yeah like in the wind anyway it's 2026 and and they're still sending checks which is perfectly valid it's a very okay thing to do i think it's just funny mary's office is like that scene from harry potter where they're trying to get him the invitation to hogwarts she's like in the in the office yeah yeah so it's it's uh it's an interesting time because right now is like a month after the movie came out which is weird to think like i feel like it's been out for months now that is crazy it still feels like it just happened but it's been just about one month which you know things usually get paid on a on a next month basis so uh it's a fun novel thing that i am experiencing that's so silly and wade the subreddit a banker wanted you to know using a secure way you can deal with money in the modern world because on a check is your bank account you generally your full name and address any information they might need to fully impersonate you and also apparently thieves whatever forgers whatever they are can just take a check that you've written for some actual thing and wash the ink off or whatever some wash it whatever that means and then just make it a check to themselves from you i thought it was weird that i had bought an island in the middle of the pacific so anyway you're wrong and you should stop with that and so should movie theaters how who wants to write a check i don't even know if i have physical checks if someone if i had to do something and they were like oh you need to write a check i'd be like never mind whatever this is i'll figure it out i'll go somewhere else that's fine all right i'll make a note of that i'll still do it some companies you have to like there's no online payment so like they force you to i have zero interactions with companies that require me to send them physical money we had like a lawn care company come through we had like a couple trees go down and whenever they sent the bill like the only option to pay them was mailing a check that's like my first question when i hire like so enough work on the house or like do like fix you know whatever handyman whatever i get the reviews and then i message them and i'm like hey can you fix a broken sink and also do you take digital forms of payment and if the answer to either of my questions is no i'm like ah it fixed itself and talk to the next one i have never been thought to ask that follow-up i'm always like review good you do a good job you know what tree is you can remove the tree great we work together that's crazy man that's crazy work i could never it's not hard writing a check really is not that difficult i mean i know how to do it the problem is not that it's difficult the problem is why the fuck would you want to do that it's such a pain that means you gotta mail it means you have to have stamps i don't have stamps who the fuck has stamps oh we got some betty whites right now and i forget the other one we got some stamps you have stamps you have stamps you have stamps you have stamps man are you as old as you look yes man he's been insulting the host so much this episode usually that's devastating wait mark's not hosting ah that's right damn it uh no anyway i mean do what you want i don't actually care but i i just think it's crazy that the they're so they're because you're not the only one there are still so many people and in clearly industries like the movie theaters or whatever that use paper checks and i'm like i should be working with the movie industries mark you cut down trees i will take your checks we'll switch roles we will buy a movie theater yeah no wait you would be perfect to run the movie theater mark was right if all i have to do is sit back and write checks yes i'm your man apparently that's a huge part of it huge well that's one of the biggest things movie theaters do they show movies and then they write checks i mean it's gotta be because they're writing to all the different movie companies like they're showing a bunch of them i'm not gonna lie bob i thought you're about to tell mark about the town no i wasn't gonna bring that up that's well now you did yeah i guess i did what the town i feel like you have to tell him about it now so there's apparently a whole town for sale it's a village yeah it comes with a church some houses some other stuff it's in maine and it would have had like 26 structures or something wait six million for how much stuff for a whole village a whole village a whole little cute little town up in maine six million dollars it had like 20 it had like 30 structures 26 30 some number of buildings houses like wade said like there's a church oh my god it's not six it's 5.5 25 structures 50 acres oh and you know what we could put in that town a movie theater wait it's delightful also it looks fake there's this like facade of what looks like a row of garage doors have you seen this i didn't really look at it wait what's it what's it called what did you search if you just scroll down some it looks like oh this is charming it's charming charming and then get to like the fifth picture that just says garage wait a minute whoa wait yeah what the fuck what it's a realtor.com article charming antique village in maine for sale but that is just actually a facade of a fit it's like a fake stable house it's just the front wall that's really what i've never seen anything like it but like the rest a lot tons of these look super awesome some of these have cars parked in front of them like people live there i don't understand what this is exactly we could buy this and then have a permanent town to film things in forever oh my dm over at lost initiatives when he told me about this and he's like you could tell mark he could film there he could and i was like they have a pond we could do our boat episodes on the pond oh moving to maine peen house peen peen town peen town town town we're really upgrading guys we're gonna have a kickstarter going uh for no other reason than to give us money so that we don't have to spend our own money oh i hope they take checks it'll be a great investment for anyone who wants to send us a paper check in the middle of the night we're gonna have a kickstarter going mail like it's 1937 yeah the entire distractible audience is going to live in this 50 acre spot i think we can make it work taxes will be crazy high can we start a call yeah just five and a half million dollars and you could own your very own town not you mark we're like listeners you could own your very own village in maine called tuffle what's it

tangent rights okay a bob sign and cosign are still available math jokes that's funny win uh scream seven saw that great what do you mean saw that is that new i saw it oh do you have any thoughts i look i do i have any more opinions on horror movies now that i've made one can i officially have stronger opinions about that you're a professional yeah you're you made the number one horror movie in america and definitely australia new zealand and canada that's true that's very true scream seven did they do friday the 13th is with jason right not with michael myers that's halloween halloween that's halloween and then scream seven is but those are like the three right uh texas chainsaw massacre has a leather face scream has ghost face no i mean i mean like of the same era right didn't they all come out roughly the same no scream one came out later scream is 90s uh you're thinking of uh your nightmare on elm street yeah nightmare on elm street and and halloween's and friday the 13th i would never mind this has nothing to do with anything i i'm thinking it was a i didn't it was it was a movie great this just in filmmaker markiplier blasts new scream movie for not even being scary quote uh whatever slam scream seven i'll give you a point mark it just says scream seven equals exists this is from an expert in horror movie making that's math i can say i've never actually watched a whole scream movie start to finish oh the first one was really good the second one was i mean i remember enjoying the first view it's it's a horror movie it's a scary movie right scary yeah yeah pass you guys would probably judge me very harshly for the uh movies i have not seen because they are scary and i don't watch scary movies the notebook dude that's the most terrifying movie i have seen the notebook i fucking hate it because my mom's mom had alzheimer's and that is one of my greatest fears in existence i think we talked about that that's one of my biggest fears in life is that i'm going to lose my mind and forget the people who care about me and forget like that actually that movie actually does like it's supposed to be like a love story whatever and it's kind of sad but that movie makes me more depressed and terrified than anything i've ever watched and i hate it then you'd be fine with scream one uh pass okay i thought i had him there thought i had him there i feel like i probably should watch that though i like it sort of in the it's sort of in the lexicon i've only ever seen seven now that's the only one i've seen okay episode podcast out we're gonna go watch some scream movies together you know what you know why everyone hates friday it's because that's when all the scary movies come out come out on friday is that true except for thursday where they have preview night but that's officially every theater does it that's not the release though the the release date is on friday i tried to see iron lung on a thursday but it was sold out in like a couple more decades could be like the movie comes out on friday see early release screenings tuesday night friday sales that then became thanksgiving that then became the day before thanksgiving wasn't there an ice cube series that was called like friday or something i'm having a memory of something that was i feel what you're i feel what you're rememberizing uh i have a update breaking news triska deca phobia triska triska deca phobia that's the fear of 13 and then fear of friday the 13th is called paris can i just say i typed triska deca phobia into google and spelled it right on my first attempt really can i just say that holy shit wait why is this in spanish como you spelled the spanish version of it i typed it i typed it into google i just typed triska deca phobia and google's ai overview is la triska deca phobia es el miedo a version or i don't speak spanish so you can pronounce it why is it in spanish it's like i'm in spain right now ai always works that's why it's everywhere it's so so good uh there's also paris kevideca tri triophobia there's uh free god tree sky deca phobia which is old norse for the fear of 13 sky deca which is 13 in ancient greek and phobos which is fear that's where it's all near written well sorry i was really allergic to norse old norse doesn't seem like that bad of a number to me like i i know that that's the that's the superstitions and like that's just seems fine seems like a fine number i feel like there are way worse numbers two of the best years i ever had playing basketball my number was 13 and 22 so those have always been numbers i've liked 17 seems like a terrible number to me 17 has a bad vibe about it and i don't care for it but nobody gets all up in a twist about 17 they're all focused on the wrong one i feel like i've never picked up that on 17 i don't then again i haven't really picked up that 13 is unlucky but 17 is a waste of a year 16 you can drive 18 you're an adult 17 just a just a number in between 17 is just a number i feel like i'm walking closer to a moral area i don't want to go to with words like that yeah yeah that's right after mark's reaction i was like maybe i can see the headline now wade distractible coho says 17 is just a number everyone 16 you can drive 18 you're an adult 17 just a number i have on the unluckiness of 13 according to the wikipedia one source mentioned for the unlucky reputation of the number 13 is a north norse myth about 12 gods which has been said is like the perfect number i don't know why tyler loves number 12 oh he does yeah that's true having a dinner party in valhalla the trickster god loki who is not invited arrived as the 13th guest and arranged for the god of darkness oh h o with two dots o with a whole fuck tonnery of things above it and r the god of darkness to shoot balder the god of joy and gladness with a mistletoe tipped arrow balder i saw this in god of war triggering much suffering in the world which caused the number 13 to be considered unlucky coincidentally the christian association of this same dinner with 12 disciples and the 13th being judas i didn't know the similarities between those two mythologies and the movie 13 ghosts with the guy who played monk and the movie 13 candles and the movie jim carrey's the number 23 minus 10 oh i remember the sequel yeah oh there's that uh katherine heigl chick flick uh 13 dresses 13 going on 30 the disney sequel 13 dalmatians left who could forget the classic m night shaman movie 13th sense i think dead people i sneeze dead people it's when you feel a sneeze i what about my favorite stephen king book turned into movie shawshank 13 oh i thought you were talking about it's 13 what was that movie on the boat with leonardo dicaprio and kate winslet tit 13 i loved the green 13 the m&m movie 13th mile that's all i don't have any more guys i got a meme did you know the wreck of the costa concordia cruise ship happened on friday january 13 2012 i did not coincidence i think not or no i do think with the is the correct inverse of that statement i think is then i would have thought i think so but i guess is okay this is a funny thing um i was just preparing myself wait keep your real laugh to yourself it's terrifying god i hate that funny no okay just wait till i say the thing man just wait you'll see all right there is always at least one friday the 13th per calendar year but it can be as long as 14 months between two friday the 13th but there will always be one except that it it could be 14 months in between each one. - So if one was in December, 14 months later would skip a year though one could be in march and then one could be in november or something right but it says that there at least wikipedia is saying that there will always be one friday the 13th per calendar year also friday the 13th has never fallen on a monday is that just true of every day and every number of the month is that one of those things where you read it and you're like wow and it's like oh wait that's yeah that's just how numbers work i do see if there was a book that came out in the early 1900s about friday the 13th which apparently maybe added to the superstition about it what about a baker's dozen a baker's dozen is 13 items but that's good thing why do bakers have immunity to the curse of 13 well because bakers are good and dozen is good therefore you put them together and it makes something bad two positives make a negative right i see what mark's getting at bakers are evil you want to rebrand friday the 13th let's just make it a little more palatable but they were you're born ah april baker's dozen 1902 i'm very old we know oh wait okay wait no it's not as good hold on a second baker's dozen might actually also be cursed there are a few theories as to why baker's dozen became 13 but the most widely accepted one has to do with avoiding a beating in medieval england there were laws related to the price of bread and the price of the wheat used to make it bakers who were found to be cheating their customers by overpricing undersized loaves were subject to strict punishment including fines or flogging even with careful planning it is difficult to ensure that all of your baked goods come out the same size there may be fluctuations in rising and baking and air content and many of these bakers didn't even have scales for fear of accidentally coming up short they would throw in a bit extra to ensure that they wouldn't end up with a surprise flogging later seems bad so even in a baker's dozen which i thought as the recipient is a good thing it's the baker's trying to avoid a bad thing well they shouldn't try and screw us out of that extra money should they i told you bakers are evil i've always thought this what are they up to back there also don't well some donuts are baked but like a lot of donuts are fried right is that still a baker it's not a baker's dozen it's a fryer's dozen which is just 12 i don't know i just think back to beauty and the beast there goes the baker with her tray like always the fear and trepidation in the voice that she the song is saying i don't remember that line at all where was that in the movie give me a time stamp oh very early it's uh whenever bell's walking around like the town everyone loves her and stuff i actually don't know any other lyrics to that song other than that i don't know many of the lyrics but that uh that movie is forever tainted by redacted for me because there was an episode of unisonis where for some reason you and ethan were i think you were making a whole shitload of eggs or something you were doing something and in the middle of the episode out of nowhere you were just like no one no fucks like gaston no one cucks like gaston i'm especially good at ejaculating ruined forever ah good times good times have we answered your question wade you have not because there's still like 15 minutes left what was the question now bring us back okay we've covered some of the 13s have we covered why friday other than bob did say friday bad because bad scary movies come out movies come out on friday bad movies everyone hates movies i think fridays were seen as like bad even before they were movies like that dates back i have no idea if this holds up but i've heard this as a i don't know how it was story superstition isn't it the story that uh jesus was crucified on friday isn't that what good friday is and then doesn't sound very good for him i i can imagine they feel like that makes friday's bad which is it's called good friday but whatever yeah call it whatever you want i guess but uh i don't i don't actually know if that's true or how that lines up with the calendar gear because i think you can condemn yourself to hell by just writing a description for a single point in a game like this yes all i wrote was one point for bob friday jesus bye bye accurate like if you were telling a child that i think that that might make sense you know it's not really offensive anyway good friday has been on friday the 13th only if easter is on april 15th and it has occurred in 1900 1906 1979 1990 2001 and will occur again in 2063 i mean we left the 80s in 1990 i loved the 80s you beg you don't even you lived in the 80s for like nine months oh and it was so much better i think people dread fridays because for parents it means that it's the weekend which means that you got all day both days and if it's a long weekend all day all three days you gotta entertain those little ankle biters that you've done made and kids just go crazy on the weekends it's just full-on psychopaths but during the rest of the normal week they're totally chill it's great so then it gets to be friday and then parents are like oh god oh fuck it's like it's like uh nighttime in i am legend they like lock the house down and then they get the dog and they sit in the bathtub with a gun and rock back and forth until they survive the night is that every night in that movie no i guess that was only the bad one when he was hurt or what i don't know i don't know if we got to see like a normal night because the first night he wakes up and then the first night you actually see in the movie is art everything's already fucked right isn't it already crazy what movie we're talking about i am 13 for some weird reason in my brain i conflate scenes from i am legend with the one with the robots that will smith was also in i am robot i don't think that was will smith was it i am legend and i am robot that's two will smith movies it's called it's called i robot oh okay it's like wait that sounds right but it doesn't sound right which is 100 what apple's uh home robot assistant is going to be called in 50 years when it releases and they'll totally miss that that's hilarious but also terrifying but no i get those movies aside from aesthetically and thematically being pretty far apart and almost as unrelated as you could imagine i could see why you mix them together because will smith's in there will smith in it up right i'm getting to the point where i'm googling 13 oh you knew all the rest of this on top of your head that's crazy well i didn't google 13 okay but you pulled up like trip a track of phobia out of like nowhere okay 13 is a natural number following 12 preceding 14 yeah wow that tracks it's a prime number a happy number wait what the fuck is a happy number wait oh it's the opposite of what you'd think and a lucky number okay i don't know okay happy number in number theory a happy number is a number which eventually reaches one when the number is replaced by the sum of the square of each digit okay for instance 13 is a happy number because one squared plus three squared equals 10 and one squared plus zero squared equals one so if you eventually reduce it down through the sum of the squares this really is the jim carrey movie it's 20 fucking three what the fuck is a happy number why is that you know i really prefer holly numbers that's where when you replace them with the square root of each digit separately but added together it stays the same number forever i think that mathematicians sometimes get this weird hard on to to wow our number system that we made is really so perfect and it's so circular and everything oh it lines up so beauty except for the things that don't oh look at the happy number look at the happy little number perfect digital invariant what the fuck is perfect digital for base b greater than one and power p greater than zero f parameters p b colon n to n is but fancy n's is defined as f pb parentheses n equals the sum of k minus one on top these functions function of n d to the p under the to the lower i period d to the p to the lower i baby i'm perky and where k equals what is that symbol it's not a bracket it's a it's an l but in the shape of a bracket but it doesn't have a top topless bracket topless bracket low b log log b low to the n other bracket a hockey stick the other way plus one is the number of digits in the number in base b and d lower i equals n mod b to the i plus one minus n mod b to the i divided by b to the i and that is literally the first four lines in this definition there are about 12 more do you want me to read them don't stop i love this dude i need to get something to sleep to tonight yeah please a natural number n is a perfect perfect digital invariant if it is a fixed point for fpb which occurs in fpbn equals n o and one zero and one are obviously trivial perfect digital invariants for all b and p obviously perfect digital invariants non-trivial digital invariants for example the number four one five zero in base b equals ten is a perfect digital invariant of p equals five because four one five o equals four to the fifth four to the power of five plus one to the five five to the five plus zero to the five a sociable digital invariant bring all your digital invariants to the party so you can socialize oh my god i hate mathematicians where's the introverted digital invariant your mom's a non-trivial perfect digital dude just wait till you get to the pre-periodic points for fpb regardless of the base you have to tell me about ppp fpbs i just don't know what this is trying to prove i'm sure it's useful in some way no that's the thing useful is the wrong word like i don't i don't know i'm not gonna pretend like i know anything about what you just said or about math but i can tell you from being around a lot of scientists and many many does is statistician and does math and data science stuff there's a lot of shit that exists where you're like oh man that sounds complicated but actually it's fucking useless like it's true and somebody proved that it's true and it's a thing and it isn't good for anything somebody was just like this is true look and that's it and that's it and this sounds like one of those things where it's like yep all that stuff you said is mathematically provable i don't even remember what led us to reading all of that to even knowing why we cared mark was teaching us about numbers all the happy numbers that's right there's also narcissistic number what's your height you whoa what the hell sorry sorry man i came out swinging i don't even know how that was an insult oh my god they've got sociable narcissistic numbers they've got amicable narcissistic numbers wait but do they have non-trivial amicable narcissistic numbers they do they do they have trivial narcissistic numbers and non-trivial narcissistic numbers all right well then then i'll allow it all right man i'm really glad we got down to the roots of why it's unlucky and lucky and friday and 13. i hope you all out there watching and listening learn something today there will be a quiz and if you can't do the function of n to the d to the i p l o m n g we're tasty then you're gonna fail that's funny we go through the points for no no particular order bob you're first you got points i wrote down he's a walking but just because you're walking that's good yep uh self-care good weight identity theft because you're telling about the checks uh you were mean to the host but funny so i'll give you a point instead of taking one for once friday bad because scary movies uh i gave you both points for movie 13 movie puns that we just kept going down the rabbit hole of because i was so busy contributing i didn't really keep track of the different ones we made oh 13 days later oh yeah 13 weeks later 13 months later sorry sorry it's too late unis gaston reference friday jesus bye bye friday bad because kids nope not useful to uh mark's 10 minutes of numbers and that gives you a total of one two three four five six seven eight nine ten eleven points if there's anything i know about science it's that it likes to be useless but funny that's why science exists oh mark you got points i'm gonna offer a bonus point if you can remember what adr stands for but if i didn't know it before you still get one point i don't know automatic it's automatic dubbing recording i don't know i don't know recording or something like that i don't remember isn't it alternate dubbed recording or something like that no it's it's not alternate but it's it's automatic and i don't know why i know the first one's automatic but or automated or something like that alternative dispute resolution i don't think that's what i'm looking for traditional home security only alerts you after a break-in and that's too late simply safe is changing that stop this is simply

that's not it sensor automated dialogue replacement you're a pro thanks uh you also got points for your piles of checks which is very relatable all of us out here can relate to carry around piles of checks having people that carry our piles of checks to the bank for us uh very relatable stuff uh you told us that scream seven exists you say different phobia words funny you told us about norse history more of the 13 movie puns the friday the 13th easter conspiracy with jesus and the different years of which those things align happy numbers and i gave you a point for the last 10 minutes of mark math that we listened to oh cool thanks five six seven eight a total of nine fuck but i had your name written first and the point total is nine to eleven is that also a coincidence because of friday the 13th probably no did 9 11 happen on friday the 13th i think not no i don't think it did i don't think we could safely say that one all right fair enough right now bob you're up and it's time for the wheels yeah wait i'm up by three points two points uh 11 to 9 you're up by two uh how many spins will there be can there be two spit oh there shall be three oh yeah i got a chance oh i got a chance you always got a chance babe uh wait what are you adding to the wheel of fun happy times do we already have something for like tinfoil hat or person that's like the most conspiratorial i think maybe scariest contribution he who is immortal wins a point i forgot i had one of those lurking in there that's fun oh right yeah you're still immortal hmm if we don't see it what it's called the tinfoil hat point it'll make no sense in about two months but for right now man three spins let's do this oh i got so many tabs i got so many tabs i'm so distracted were they related uh i have cheaper by the dozen built for sale main i got 13 there's 13 in there that's 13 i have two tabs open and they're both directly related to what we're talking about so i guess by default mark gets the point gmfst black magic design uh a cinema site is open uh adr i guess that's related baker's dozens related 23 the movie yeah that's related to ubiquity uh websites open and my youtube channel your youtube channel not related officially that's one thing at least that makes you more distracted yeah spin number two point four viewers okay all right that limits your chances but that does not preclude you from sweeping this away from me still no this is that's actually a terrible spin for me all right no matter where this ends it's bob's point come on shortest that's inarguable mark slept in today i just said i slept i mean i could also say i slept in but i also didn't go to bed until late i i know exactly how much sleep i got if you really want to compare but no no no need i got nine hours oh since last episode though wait no wait all right we need that okay yeah yeah hold on so wait since since yesterday was since the last release or since the last recording recording i think is what that would imply i don't think either of us slept in the break between this episode and the immediate previous episode so it must it must be the the previous one oh no my sleep fitness score is so big oh i did not get a lot of sleep this week you're in trouble mark oh shit i'm sleeping so good my seven day average it says is about six and a half hours but uh last night i got eight hours and 47 it says my seven day average since last tuesday is six hours and 20 minutes my six hours and 35 minutes average all right point for bob damn it damn it why do i have to not be working on a movie and sleeping so good i dodged the one-man show wheel congratulations wait what else can we compare what about your heart rate i bet your heart rate's way better than mine yeah go ahead i don't care about that go take take more time whatever so the resting heart rate is 67 i've been going down a lot that's good oh wow man my metrics are looking great yeah my resting heart rate's only 72 kicking my ass i don't monitor any of this stuff so uh uh whatever god wants me to have do you mean for your heart rate or sleep heart rate okay good okay the man upstairs real involved in my sleep schedule he tells me when to snore hey he doesn't say shit to me all right so uh mark loser speech well let's just say that uh if the trade-off for losing is uh having higher quality of life and um uh the other things and if that means that i can get a village uh in maine uh i'd say losing is pretty good i say losing is okay unfortunately the village takes checks only fuck you need to send them one paper check for five and a half million dollars damn bob winner speech my life is terrible and that's how i keep winning the worse it gets the more i win this is all i have i have no joy i have no other sources of anything other than sadness and pain so i put it all here i leave it all on the table and if i ever don't win if you ever steal this one brief moment of joy i get once a week i don't know what i'm gonna do i'll probably have to take it out on whoever steals it from me i guess i guess this is kind of a warning huh anyway this is a fun time guys good episode Follow these guys,
