Going Nuclear

Good evening, gentle listeners, or watchers, and welcome to Destractable, the Sepsil. Whittling Wade, sates his wanderlust, has a patellarized magenta. He starts an addiction that explains CCGs and Chernobyl. Moon-spashing Mark, trashes his donker, gets a cheesy hole, and discusses Thorium, and a neutrons, beatified Bob, gives an infomercial, probes pronunciations, stabs Mark, and famously misses coasters, from brimstone beauty to Polish pylons. It's time for, going nuclear. Now sit back and prepare to be distracted, and enjoy the show. Hey everyone, welcome back to another episode of Destractable. I'm today's host, I don't do this very often anymore, why I've fallen off, but today I do, and I'm joined as always by my co-host, Mark and Bob. Hello. Hello. How are you doing? You handsome devil. I'm doing pretty good. I had a good week that I'll talk about later. You delightful demon. Stop. You smart spawn of Satan. I think that was still technically a compliment maybe. Write something down, it might be good. If it feels good isn't it good? They say that Satan was the most beautiful of all the angels, they specify that, I think. That's biblical. I'm pretty sure it's biblical. I believe you. And on the fifth day, the god looked at Satan said damn. I might be going to hell for that joke alone. Ah, to see Satan, right, for yourself. Just to know what it's all about. That's why I took the seventh day off, you know what I mean? It was a bad breakup. That's what caused the fall. It's, you know, it's like history by the victors. God, just writing Satan such an asshole. God, I got me damn him. God really wrote the first Taylor Swift album. Me damn you, Satan. He's going to be in hell where evil people go. And I made that. It's not his choice. It's mine. That's like a Trump speech. And I made that. And that's how it's always been. I have a blank cage baby and I'll put you in. That was funny. Anyway, this is a show we host. We could do game. We small talk. Maltalk. I got small talk. You guys have small talk? I got small talk. I got small talk. Maltalk, who first small talk? You go first. Me? Yeah. If you use it up now, you won't get any points in the future where to be, I've got to be careful or else I might give myself the segue point. Well, I've been gone. We haven't seen each other in a couple of weeks because I was out of town. Molly and I went on a trip to Virginia and that was some friends. It was a really nice needed break. However, we did a lot, which is also fun. But that's that thing where you go on vacation. You come back and you're like, oh, I'm so tired. I need like a week to recover from a vacation. Classic mistake. But it was really fun. We had a lot of good food. I had some pool time. I got to test my knee a little bit, which is better. I still have moments where it isn't really hurt, but it just feels something is still weird about it. Tyler had some theories on that because we got to see Tyler too. He's had some knee stuff going on. So I might go get some imaging done to see. I forget what he said. He was like, your magenta might be between your pekeller, boflex. And I was like, oh, that sounds right. Tell your doctor exactly that. My magenta is between my pekeller and my boflex. You'll say it. And the doctor will be like, hmm, but then say, no, no, Tyler told me that. And the doctor will be like, oh, Tyler. Yeah, Tyler, from hit podcast, go. My favorite sports team. That's the one dog. Oh my god. And then he starts going cross-eyed and talking in an action. He's like, yeah, you're regenerated real fatilized. I hate when my doctor goes hills a Tennessee exit. No, you love when you're doctor. I love when my doctor goes hills a Tennessee accent accent. Accident. No accent. Accident. It's different hills a Tennessee accident. Oh, what else? Oh, the real horrible tragedy of what happened in Virginia. We went to some retro like game stores and stuff where they have figurines and video games and we were looking around at those kinds of things. They had cards and Tyler and bird. I guess they've been collecting different like collectible cards. There's all kinds now. There's, you know, there's you go magic, Pokemon, one piece. I guess everything has a card set now. I used to collect Pokemon cards back in like the 90s. I made the mistake of mentioning that and the guys were like, do you want to just like buy a pack for old times sake? I was like, guys, that's probably a bad idea. When I, listen, I don't dip my toe into things. If I go in, I dive in head first that I'm all in. I'm like, I'll come on one pack. It won't be that bad. Four thousand dollars later, Wade has a stack of valueless Pokemon cards in his closet. Only two. Two thousand. Yes. Holy shit. Whoa. What did you do? I bought a lot of quotes. Oh my god. What did you get a single good one that was worth anything? Yeah, actually. So, so I started going in on prismatic evolution and chaos rising sets. What does that even mean? Oh man, does it mean prismatic evolution and chaos rising? Please. People who know, know, if you don't know, I'm not, listen, every, every like six months, a new Pokemon set comes out, it feels like or something. What the hell is this chaos? What am I looking at? So I can't, whenever I collected cards, there was the base set of Pokemon, right? Where you just had the, there's no symbols. There was no, no, it was just that was the only Pokemon cards that existed. The first six Pokemon, yes. Then came the jungle fossil and rocket sets and then I guess some like gym leaders set came after. I don't know. I stopped sometime during the rocket Pokemon card release that came after. I think fossil was the third one. And that's, that's the last I'd collected cards since whatever year that was 2000. So I've seen that cards exist. The people collect them. I've seen that like if you have a pack of cards, an unopened from like the 90s, the first set, the pack itself, unopened goes for like six, 700 dollars because it could contain something crazy. If you have a box from back then, a box of packs, that can go for like 40,000 dollars. It's crazy. What you can just, if you just buy something and you do the weighed version of just stash it away, my god, one day might be worth something. Just imagine if nine year old me was enough of a sociopath to not open any Pokemon card packs I ever got while I was a child. So I do have a full base set, but mine are played. So mine aren't worth as much as a lot of them would be whatever. I do have a full base set and maybe I don't know, I don't have to look, but anyway, I've gotten, I've gone into the deep end of Pokemon cards, which is why I don't, I don't do hobbies. I don't just, I don't just like to have all. I'm like mobile game must have every character Pokemon cards must master set. What happened to like like reading or like you could whittle you seem like a guy who would whittle. He struck me as a whittler. He does got whittle vibes. Donnie, I could see you on a porch in the Appalachians. Is it cedar that has like the purple center of the wood? I think that's um, butchuly. No, what's that called? Pipipu. No, it's the people would. Yeah, yeah, it's purple cedar, purple cedar. Yeah. Yeah. So I think whatever I was young, I had a pocket knife and my whittling of cedar was literally just like, aha, I'll go in a circle for hours. It's smaller now. I did it. Grandpa, look, I thought whittling was distinct from carving because when you whittle, you kind of are just fucking up the wood. Like you're kind of just like, you know, get rid of the stupid wood. One tiny shred at a time. I'm whittling. I don't know. I was like 10 and that's what I did and that's the last. I was probably, I don't have no idea. I was over three ages of nine and 13 probably. I don't know. Wait, I'm going to share you something on discord and, you know, we don't we don't talk about further, but I think it's going to earn me some points. So I'm just going to share this with you. If you look up purple cedar, you know, there's a there's a video and, um, think that earns me some points, right? So, can I should I describe the image? No, you don't need to describe it. You don't need to describe. We don't need to talk about it. Listeners and viewers alike will have to figure that one out for themselves. Um, what was I talking about whittling Pokemon cards? Yeah. So I've started collecting little distracted feeling feeling distracted man. Yeah, cedar. It was just like that whenever I whittled it, I won't describe the image, but it was just like that. Yeah, I've started collecting. There's so many cards and it feels like, but so each card will have a number, right? It'll be like, there's 80 cards. It'll be like, oh, you have card 37 out of 80. But apparently now it's a lie because that goes past the number. If you get the rarer cards, like, oh, you have card 97 out of 80 and it's like, what the hell is that? What's the good in that? I don't know. Just like, just tell me numbers have meaning. I agree. Just tell me how many cards are total in the set. So I know if I got them also, I can put them in a nice order and no. Don't tell me I've got like, oh, card one is this nice hollow, but card 140 out of 80 is this full art rare gold. I hate it so much. I hate it so much. God. Now that you're in that, I know you're not like an expert because you just started doing it. Can I just ask do people do that? Do people get into Pokemon because it's like, oh, this specific set appeals to or is it literally like, oh, the value on these packs is trending up and there's a card you could get. There's a pull you could get from this set that's worth like $800. Is it money or is it because when I look, I'm like, well, it's cool. But how do you care about a thing where they just keep adding shit to it and and they gave getting more complex. Does it really sentimental for people? I don't know. - It seems crazy to me. - I think the answer is both. I think some people genuinely just enjoy collecting and like the cards and like Pokemon. I think the way that it's actually happening now is scalpers are running so rampant that the moment something launches, a lot of places limit how much you can buy because people buy all of the stock up, no matter the price, they buy it all up. Aged dollars a box, I'll take 100 boxes, and then they immediately list it for 400% markup on eBay other sites. So like, hey, this box that came out today for an $80 retail price, $450, it's yours. And that's how all of it is done now. So a lot of places, like I've got some local card shops for instance, and I had a moment I went out yesterday and just had lunch and stop by a couple. And a lot of them had limits. Like you can only buy six packs. You can only buy one box. And it's like, actually I respect that 'cause that means like, you know, if kids come in and want to buy it, at least there's a chance that they could get something. But each set also has cards that are worth, you know, they call them bulk, they're like worthless cards. I guess to me, it's cool 'cause that's like, if I want a master's that I want one of each card from a set, but people go for the Chase cards, which are ones they put like the harder cases to call top loaders I've learned. I think, maybe there's other ones that aren't, but they have like a sleeve sort of flimsy, then you top load that for your really valuable cards. We pulled one that was like a Silveon from the Prismatic Evolution. It's apparently like a two to $400 card ungraded. So that was a great pull, I pulled that. That was a great thinly bird pulled it, but it was mine. And that's cool to see stuff like that, but for me, it's just, I don't plan on like selling them. So for me, it's like, I'm gonna collect them and I wanna have like a set. I just wanna have that set together, like I did, however long ago. And I hope I don't try to get every set, especially the old ones 'cause my God, the cost is insane. There's like a Lodios Lodios. If you guys know those two legendaries, they're like Jetplane looking birds from Gen 3. There's a card where they like, they form a heart with like their heads and their neck. The cheapest I could even see that card in existence. I wasn't looking to buy. Just someone I told me it was expensive. It's like, wow, expensive could it be? The cheapest one I could find was $2,000 for one piece of cardboard. I better start putting stuff on pieces of cardboard too. That happens. You guys wanna make some distractible collectible cards? And it's apparently a crazy industry, might as well. But yeah, scalpers have the reason everything's so crazily priced is 'cause people are like, people want this? What if I hoard this and raise price? 'Cause they're fucking monsters. Scalpers are monsters. But I mean, it is just crazy how the way that people think about the money and it just destroys anything. But it's worse when the company's lean into it. I feel like there's a lot from the Pokemon company that's probably very happy that a lot of people are trying to fight for the value of this. And then they can raise their own prices and then they're gonna go. - Yeah, well, that's probably, that's really funny though, 'cause they see this and they're like, oh yeah, all people fucking love these things. We gotta make more. It's like, yeah, you're selling them for $80 a box or whatever and then someone sells what's in that box for $5,000 and you don't see any of that shit. - Yeah, that's the thing is a lot of the retail, it's still high. I don't know what a pack comes out to typically now, maybe like $68 a pack or something, maybe more. But whatever we were collecting, I say we, whenever I was collecting back in the '90s, it was literally $299 or $399 for a single pack. - Yeah, well, I used to do magic when I was in middle school, high school, magic gathering, and it was like two or three bucks for a booster back then. So you could go, go to the local store, grab a few boosters for like eight or 10 bucks, maybe have a good time, open some packs, get nothing. - Now it's higher, the base value, but you're never gonna find base value anywhere. GameStop just got in trouble, but there was a lot of controversy around GameStop because they themselves raised prices rather than waiting for scalpers. They were like, what if we just charge more? I don't know how much they went up, people, a lot of people were upset, some people defended us, some people were upset about it, whatever, but they were just like, why let scalpers raise the price when we can? It's the dynamics of the market, you know? We, the straight of hormones is closed, immediately raised prices. Oh, it's open. Let's hold off, let's not lower them just yet. - Can't push it back down. You don't know if the prices are gonna go back down, which we control. - In the end, kept getting closed again. So I guess they're, maybe there was a lot chicken that, but no, you know, it's weird, it's just a little weird. I also had a really, speaking of spending lots of money, you guys wouldn't know. God, I'm ashamed to admit this. - What's going on with you all right? - Door-dash, I've used door-dash a lot. So for six years, I've been using their subscription service for deliveries and they were like, here's how much you've saved over the last six years by using door-dash. - That's rude. That's just rude. - These have any idea what that number was? - Five figure, is this five year, is this five figure number? $60,000. - Jesus. - I don't know, you eat a lot of food. - You eat in a lot. - And that goes back to COVID where it was like, there were periods during lockdowns and shit where it was like, if you didn't have groceries, what are you supposed to do? - It was 13,900. - I knew it was five figures. I knew it was five figures. - I saved $13,900 on deliveries over six years. - You saved, listeners, I'm doing air quotes. - Sam, please put in a sound effect for my air quotes. - Did it have the total that you've spent accompanying that or was it just like? - Thank God, if it did, I didn't see it. - I don't know, it's all the savings. - What I've saved on fees, delivery and whatever else that, you know, the 18,000 charges you get, good Lord, in five years, I would bet. I don't think it's six figures. I bet it's not over 100,000, but I bet it's pretty up there. I mean, if you think about driving a meal delivered probably on average, one to two times, not two times a day, but probably at least once a day. - Part of that too is you feed a lot of people. I feel like a lot of the time, or Dordash, it's like, well, we have guests in town, we need food, and we don't want to bring a party of 10 people to a restaurant necessarily, and I'm not cooking for my friends. - All my money is going to Pokemon cards and Dordash, so-- - Half of it is definitely way to eating Freddy's while we're filming, distractable. - So if I had that in a minute, that sounds good. I don't know, I had lunch yet. Thanks, man. - He's gonna order now. - He's gonna order some Freddy's for while we record. - Yeah, wait, they have Pokemon cards too. - You can Dordash Pokemon cards? - I don't know. - No, please don't let me look at that, I don't want to know. - All right, that's my small talk. I've taken a feed, man, I had an episode too. Well, we'll see how it goes. - You did it this time, wasn't even us. - I did, I had a lot to talk about. - We could skip it. I also have a lot to talk about. We could save it for the next episode if you just want to go straight on. - Give yourself the small talk point and the segue point. Man, you're in the lead. You're doing so good. I am all of the small talk of my own episode. I'm such a rude ass. Why don't you get the host anymore? You're such a rude ass. A rude ass. - Another thing I did while traveling because I didn't have a book with me is I watched a show that I hadn't seen but I've been interested in watching. I watched Chernobyl on HBO Max. - Great show, fantastic show and segue. I want to talk about us going nuclear. Today's episode's all about nuclear. - Okay, all right, who would I nuke? Let's start with the countries that I hate the most. - I'm that power, but you can nuke if you want. - Oh, oh, power. - Oh, what are we doing? Sports teams, individuals, institutions? What are we nukeing? - Mark's like, wait, is our patch kids a country? - I learned that on one episode. I haven't forgotten. - I say we nuke the moon. - Take that A James. - What would he photograph then? - He would get the prettiest picture of like the nuke exploding the moon. - I have a new calendar called the end of the moon. It was just a sequence of Mark nukeing the moon to bits. - How many nuke would it take to destroy the moon? - I don't know, Mr. Owl. Why don't you show us? - A one, a two, a two, a two, a two, a different commercial. - The way that for everyone out there nuclear stuff at least worked back then was you had like fuel rods, nuclear fuel rods. They would react and their reaction would produce heat, heat would boil water, water turns into steam, steam creates power and that's how it was supposed to work. And then you have these control rods that are supposed to go into the nuclear reactor that stop or slow down the reaction. That was your emergency breaks. - The sky watches one many series knows how nuke's work. - Well, that's a simple, that's a pretty simple. - It's a simple science. - That's such a simple breakdown of a very complicated process. Like that's baby's description of nuclear power. - All right, comrades, the gas off. And Chernobyl a lot of things went wrong. For one, they were supposed to be doing a test. Then someone was like, hey, actually, we need more power for the day. Can you guys do it? So they got into low power mode. And they were like, all right, we're gonna run this test. And someone made the call like, actually, can you put the test off for 12 hours? And they're like, yes, 'cause here we only say yes. So the nuclear power plant stayed in low power mode all day, which is not good for it. It was building up like xenon gas and other stuff that wasn't great for the reactor because it wasn't running at full power. It wasn't burning away as usual. When they went to run the test, they were like, huh, some of the shit doesn't look right. And the guy running the test was like (beep) No, it's fine, trust me, I'm an expert. Night shift had never been prepared for the tests. They'd never learned how to do them. They hadn't studied them. They were just like, hey, is this a good idea? All these things say not to do it. And the guy in charge is like, yeah, yeah. But I'm the expert, do it. I want this promotion, do it. So they do all these things to run the test. And then the nuclear reactor, they're supposed to stop I think like 700 kilowatts or whatever it was a power. And then the reactor's like, oh, I'm still going down, I'm still going down. Power basically goes all the way down. And the way that they decided to bring power back up was removing some of those safety rods. They're like, oh, let's pull these control rods out. That way they're not stopping the nuclear reaction. Nuclear reaction can go, we'll get our power back. And it did. But all of a sudden there were no, I think it was down to like 18 out of what, to honor. 50 control rods only 18 were left inside and the nuclear reaction was like, hey, there's nothing stopping me. I'm fucking go crazy, yo. Ultimately, as the numbers started shooting up, there was a kill switch. I forget it was called, there was a name for it, but they they hit the kill switch like, all right, put all the new the rods back in. We're shutting this down. Finally, however, there was a flaw in the design of the nuclear control rods in order to save money. They had graphite tipped control rods instead of whatever it was supposed to be. I don't know what the alternative was, but the graphite itself, whenever inserted into the core, has a temporary moment of actually increasing the reaction rather than decreasing. So even though the rod itself is supposed to stop it, the moment all those graphite tips went in, it was basically like a bunch of lighters at a gas station, just like, what if we just light a bunch of fires here real quick and then reactor go boom and meltdown happen radiation leaked. Some disasters were actually prevented that could have been a lot worse at Chernobyl, but it think it's still responsible for at least 49,000 deaths, plus who knows how many cancers and so on and so forth. But those are the basics of Chernobyl. However, the kill switch in theory should have worked if government wasn't cheap and didn't say, well, what are the odds of the graphite tip things causing a problem? All these things have to go wrong for it to be bad and then it was and it didn't so on so forth. The only other nuclear things of problems I know about there was a thing at three mile island in Pennsylvania in the 70s and then there was Fukushima back in like what was it 2011. Those are the only other ones I personally know about. I don't know what caused the issues that three mile I've not looked into that one Fukushima. There was a like a magnitude nine earthquake and then a tsunami went over the protective wall, hit the power plant, drowned the steam engines, took away any ability for power to keep water cooling the reactors. And since it was being hit with sea water, all of the power was gone. All they were doing all kinds of shit to try to get power to these reactors. They couldn't do it fast enough and then boom, boom, boom, boom from hydrogen build up and so on and so forth. They called a Swiss cheese of failure. I didn't know that. Is that true? You don't know about the term Swiss cheese of failure. I did not. It's like if you line up slices of Swiss cheese from say a different cheese block that there's not much chance that you're going to get a hole that goes all the way through. But every once in a while in rare certain things, you would line up enough Swiss cheese slices. There's going to be one that series of Swiss cheese that has a hole that goes all the way through and that's the Swiss cheese of failure. It's rare chances and need to overlap for it to happen. So I only eat American cheese. I think we found our first country we need to nuke, which is the subject of this episode and their shitty cheese and any other country that has holes with holes with cheese and cheese with holes with cheese around them. Anyone that's got cheese in their holes, you deserve to be nuke. I think I speak for everyone here. That's the official stance of distractible hosted by Wade. He's the leader of this operation. Oh God. Keep cheese out of your holes. Keep holes out of your cheese. Everyone, that's today's PSA and we're going to have regular hole inspections to make sure those holes aren't cheesy. Please don't ask me to inspect your holes. Wade's going to do it. I don't want to. I really don't. I don't want a cavity search for cheese. No, no, no, no, no, not cavity search hole search. We're talking about nuclear, nuclear power. Oh, those are what I know about you guys are welcome to describe a three mile. If you know what happened at three mile, but ultimately, there's still a huge debate about whether or not nuclear power is safe. From what I can tell Fukushima sounded like a pretty freak accident, but there were still some cutting cost things that went into effect that led to it being a disaster. Chernobyl, if they'd had the right kind of control rods in place, yeah, the fucking idiot running the thing was going to cause a disaster, but the shut off button still should have shut off. Both of those things I think should in theory still have been preventable. Fukushima, I'm a little bit less of a, I'm a little bit less knowledgeable about other than the basics are described, but a lot of people still argue that nuclear power is still safer and still has less of a death toll. I've got it and I got the perfect company to I know what you're asking us. You don't even do explain anymore. Ryobi, nuclear batteries. I think the entire Ryobi line could be souped up. If it's already green, it's already green. It's already green. Nothing greener than nuke. Lear. What do I say? I love the catchphrase like you bought you pick up the drill. It's like nothing greener than and it's just like a mushroom cloud. I love it when my mushroom clouds are green. That's when you know they're good. That's a real be branding on there. Ryobi call me. I'm going to get so many sponsors by the end of this year. I'm going to be so sponsored. Nuclear power. Ryobi. Go, well, no, go price pie. Just blah, blah. We'll get to go for nuclear go pros would be also be awesome. But I think if that Ryobi chain saw that's nuclear powered instead of like revving or worrying, it's like just the clicks from a Geiger counter. And so you just like the radiation goes up. Get your new Ryobi brushless nuclear drill with new Ryobi's new 1.21 Jigawatt nuclear powered 4 amp hour battery. It will be powered for slightly longer than on the old ones. Oh, the best of the best, right? This is what you want to have the subset, right? Oh, yeah. I mean, imagine like do you has ever had like a little flower bed outside and like weeds keep popping up and it's so annoying. Like, but imagine your nuclear spray that just keeps the weeds gone forever. Well, that's a **** because it's it'll kill you allegedly, allegedly, there's no clear. Maybe, yes, yeah, maybe protect me, protect me for myself. Protect us from our brand slanderer. Protect us, Ryobi. Come on. Oh, I have the Joker, but with lawsuits. Come on, let's do me. Should we, I want to do it. I'm like a dog by the mailman. I just keep getting more lawsuits. I keep chasing sponsors. I wouldn't know what if I actually got one. What I do. I would do what I did with Prusa. We're just like, I putze around and don't make a video for six, two months. Hey, they're cool. We're cool, right, Prusa? You're cool. I did have this revelation on, on like a stream yesterday where I'm like, hey, I kind of have if everyone in my audience knows that I haven't done a brand video for Prusa, everyone I've done the job, right? It's kind of perfect viral marketing, really, because then there's a bunch of people feeling sympathy for Prusa. And if any of them needs a 3D printer, they're like, Mark's not going to make a video. I got to buy one of that. I was like, yeah, I helped these guys out. I got to reach out and see if I get more sponsorships where I don't don't do what I agree to to see if guys, the sympathy you'll garnish over the next five years will be crazy. Yeah, I know right. The sympathy. If you get so many sympathy sales, you're going to be through the roof. It's the new generation of pain exposure. But you guys in sympathy, just wait. I don't really want a 3D printer, but Mark didn't do the video, so I guess I'll get one as an empath. I really feel for Prusa. Nuclear powered 3D printing would go hard. What are we talking about? Nuclear power. Anything nuclear. We're going nuclear today. Do we talk about power plants? Is nuclear power the way in a serious space? The there's been developments. I don't know what it is, but there's been developments in thorium reactors. I haven't checked up on it in thorium salt reactors. I don't think before it was practical. There was something about it that's practical. It was safer, but with thorium salts, there's a much lower like power ratio you can get out of it in the current way that they make them. I forget what the main problem is, though. There was something that was fundamentally a problem with it that needed more research to get further in. Thorium, ironically, also was the thing that was coding those menolta lenses that makes it radioactive, so you know it's good. Yes, thorium, it looks like still involves using fizzile fuels and nuclear material. The molten salts are highly corrosive at extreme temperatures requiring advanced expensive alloys. There's not really a streamlined global framework for cooling and regulation, because it's such a new technology, I guess. All right, so I think maybe the issue was that thorium to become fizzile needs to absorb a neutron to become uranium 233, but the problem is uranium 233 could quickly or fairly simply turn into plutonium. No, Protectinium 233. The fuck is that? Oh shit. That's shit. That's like bad news. I've never heard of that one. All right, okay, this is where we're starting to babble about things that we don't know about, and we're going to make an all the actual nuclear engineers mad, which is my favorite thing to do. Somehow, still better than our brander? Brandslander? Brandslander? You've coined a term for a brander. I want you guys to settle something for me because I feel conflicted about this. I've already said it once or twice, but it is an honest to God debate, and I think different crowds of different people come down on different sides of this. The word is nuclear, as in nucleus, nuclear, right? Yes, nuclear. I don't think any of the three of us say, sincerely say nuclear because of our accents or anything, but that is a way that a large proportion of like native English speaking people say that word. Watch the same way as people pronounce like pillow as pillow or room as rum. Is someone in my room? What we does would do that. We are experts in speaking out loud. So thus, we are experts in language. Is nuclear an acceptable way to pronounce the word or is it unacceptable? Because I feel strongly conflicted about this. Because there are deep parts of me that find it very funny that like George W. Bush said nuclear, right? He was the president of our country. He was the leader of the free world, whatever. And he said that to me, when I was a kid, I was like, he said it wrong. We're going to find her. We're going to nuclear. Read the word. It's nuclear, sir. I think a linguist would say well, language is kind of a living thing, right? So if someone's colloquial pronunciation is accepted as new nerd, help me. Oh, language is a living thing, but I mean, I've got a lot of like southernisms in my family. So I feel like I've heard nuclear a bunch. I mean, I say nuclear. So when I'm talking to says nuclear, I'll just continue to say nuclear. Do you like say it more emphatically to try and tell them that you're smarter than them? I am. But like, there you go. Everyone knows I'm smarter than them, but like, what a thing that they're out there. I cross to bear. So it's so to you, it's acceptable because like, friends and family go there, friends and family have that. Yeah. I mean, I'm not going to like make a big deal out of it. Yeah. I don't care. But for different reasons and Wade, I just want to differentiate myself from them a little bit. But I don't care just because it's not worth the fight. Like, there's so many. If we're as a society at the point where we can start fighting about that stuff again, we're in a good place. I think that that's, that's a sign that, you know, society is progressing down to where we want to be. And until we get there again, I don't think that we any of us can complain too much. You know what I mean? You get what I'm saying here. You understand what I'm getting at when I'm stabbing at you. You picking up what I'm, what I'm stabbing. You stabbing what I'm stabbing? I'm stabbing it. I'll stab it with you. Okay. Stab, stab me. I'll stab you. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Sam, where do we even get that video of me stabbing Mark? Wow. Look at all these different angles of him stabbing. Sorry. That's crazy. Whoa. Oh, we got a 40 Gaussian splat of me, so we can stab my bob. Holy shit. Wait, we have a slow-mo angle from the nice perspective. Oh my god. We've got the minority report psychic future view of Bob stabbing me. Dreams? Equated everything? Wow. Sam, where'd you get that? It's crazy, Sherry. That's production value right there. There's me as the dead wife under the bedsheets before I got stabbed. I don't know whose perspective we're looking at. I guess Amy's. What happened exactly? I don't know. Where's the one? Let me see what Bob. Where's the wife come from? I don't know. It's from Amy's perspective. So Amy's not in this. It's just me under the sheets. You know, the dead wife thing. Yeah. No, that's a thing. You can't act like I'm great. I doesn't seem like he knows. Everyone knows the dead wife thing. Everybody knows the dead wife thing. Yeah. I can't tell if you're doing that just to piss him off or you actually sincerely have no idea. We'll never know. So back to nuclear or nuclear if you prefer. I don't. I don't either. I guess what we're saying is if you're a watcher or a listener and you say nuclear, but also good for you. The noise, but for those listening, Bob made a slight smirk as he gave that one light giggle. They know what that noise means. You have to explain my noises. It was so light. I barely even heard it. That's the sound my ass makes after I ate too much skyline. No, no, that's wetter. No. Anyway, let's get back to discussing how nuclear reactors function. Right. Right. Wait, can I talk about? I meant to talk about this during small talk, but because there was something that was so funny that happened on my journey, and it's not necessarily the main point of my small talk, but I met some fans, right? Shoot. Whoa. So many things happening. Someone spied me through my, through my mask, which I'm like, Hey, if you managed to give me through that, like you, it's totally fine. I usually do in the airport, both because I've never really, oh, I don't care who you are to. You took off the mask. Exactly. Just like that. That's what it was. So I say, hi, I take a picture and we are separate ways. They were very nice. And they were even very nice afterwards. And they posted the picture on the subreddit, and it got tons of, tons of votes for some reason. But in, in the comments of this, it's really funny because it just shows like some people psychic perceptions, psychological perceptions of reality get distorted in some way, because I don't know. It might be a joke, but someone's like, said a comment is like, he's surprisingly average in height. Blah, blah, blah. And the person responded, I'm five nine. And my friend is around the same height. He was shorter than us, both LOL. And I'm like, you posted the picture of us. And in the picture, I'm taller than both of you. Literally, that was so nice of them to bend down to make you look taller. I know that's what someone said, like, oh, so kind of you to bend down so low. That's what I'm like, literally in the photo, you posted, I'm taller than both of you. Like, why would you do this to me? Commenter comes, or a ritual poster comes back and is like, yeah, it's weird. Mark actually carries around his own apple box to stand on for fan pictures. He's not as tall as he appears in this photograph. Gotta make sure you explain it accurately. It's happened more than once. And you guys know, I'm not a tall guy. I don't, I never claim to be a tall guy, but I am comfortably average in height. And it's just because you freaks make me look tiny and no one understands how gigantic you both are. You both are like in the 99th percentile of height. And it was like, there's no way both of them can be that tall. He's got a beauty, he's got a microscopic and I'm like, oh, I mean, it's pretty unlikely that you'd have two such a freakishly tall friends. It was not weird. Almost like it couldn't be so. Almost like, and also like the other people in our friend group that are weirdly tall and above average, you know, I think Jesse is actually the same height as all of you guys. He's also 6'4" for some fucking reason. In Cincinnati, they put something in the chili that I didn't get. I don't know. Maybe I was destined to be 5'1", but I ate the chili and I grew 9 inches. It's just like, I feel. You didn't get the big boy 3-way. Did you get the normal one? Actually, I didn't start eating Skyland till later, so maybe that was my problem. That's the thing. Yeah. That's a thing. That's a mistake. Ignore the fact that I grew up in a different city. Nuclear-powered Dildos. Nuclear-powered. Side tangent. Mark's fan. So. Okay. What the fuck? You're fanning up. You're fanning up. I've triggered this memory in my head. Hold on a second. You can't go from nuclear-powered Dildos to. Oh, this reminds me. You, Mark. Well, no, no. Before we get to the Dildos, is before the Dildos. Okay. All right. This. Uh-huh. Wink. Mollie and I were flying back, and apparently there's no direct flights from Richmond to Cincinnati. So we had to fly to Atlanta there. We had to fly to Detroit on the way back here. While in Detroit, we decided we wanted to get food, and the food place Mollie and I decided on was like. We were in B terminal. This was in like the very end of A terminal, which I didn't know until I was getting there. There's a long walk. So we walked to our gate, and we're dropped off our bags. It's like, "Hey, Mollie said she'd sit with the bags while I go get food." And on the way, where I'm one of those, like, little moving escalator platform sidewalk, whatever they call it, moving sidewalk, I don't know what the term is. Speed of fires. There's a guy on the phone looking out a window, and he is just yelling, and he's screaming, and he's cursing into his phone. And as we approach, like, people nearby are all watching this guy, and he's getting more and more just like animated, more and more angry. And we're like, "That's gonna be a problem. They're gonna. Someone's gonna come do something about that because like, there's kids nearby. This guy's just dropping F-bombs, like, he's on this podcast. Get to the gate, set my stuff down. Go back. The guy is still cursing. More people are kind of like watching, seeing like, "Hey, there's something terrible about to happen." Don't want to miss it. Something horrible happened in his life. I don't know, but he's very angry to whoever he's on the phone with. I keep going. I get past him. I'm walking. It feels like a half an hour excursion to go get food. And Mollie texts me updates like, "Hey, police came and talked to the guy." And now there's a lady who missed her flight, very upset. She's like, "I'm supposed to be first class, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah." And you can't do this to me because they wouldn't let her board after the plane to apparently it already left. I guess they were supposed to hold the whole plane up for her and she was later some. I don't know. That does make it tricky. So police calm the guy down. They're keeping eye on him, but they've calmed him down. Now they're back, talking to this lady. I get the food. I come all the way back. I get on one of the moving sidewalk things. And actually there's the two police officers with that lady going right by me and like, "Oh, well, I guess at least they'd, whatever's happening, they're handling that. Get back. Start eating food." We eat. I put on my headphones. I go back to watching my regularly scheduled Chernobyl on my tablet and Mollie like taps me and I look up. And there's the two police officers just standing there smiling, like arms crossed looking at me. And I'm like, "Hello? Uh-huh?" and they're like, "Are you Wade?" and I was like, "Who's that skin?" Yes. Like, "Dude, we're such big fans." And I was like, "Oh, thank God. Oh, because everyone in our like sitting area is like looking at me." They're like, "These police officers have had to take care of two problematic people here already. Is this guy ground zero? Who is this mystery bald man?" So like, I get up. I take a picture with them. They're very nice. I'm like, I was like, "Oh, thank God. I didn't know what you guys were. I was like, "I didn't know anything. I didn't see what happened. Take the picture and you know, they head off and people are just staring like, "Don't worry. Just YouTube. I'm not actually important." And I put my headphones back on and go back to watching. But like, I was the center of attention for a moment. That's the first time that's happened. And I see like them like go down one of the employee only staircases. They get in their car, because we're sitting in front of the window and they drive off. So I think they saw me on a camera and drove back over to come say hi, which is cool. But headphones on, after all these events, look it up and just see like two cops staring at me. I was like, "Whatever it was. I just got food. I just got food. I'm watching shit. You guys like Chernobyl. Let's get the shit out of me." I was like, "Oh god. What did I do? I didn't do anything wrong. I swear." Wait, do you get the segue point for my current story? Oh, great. I can contribute to this fans recognizing us in places where it's a whole situation. This was another one where it's really attention I didn't want, but it was it's not a huge deal. It's just funny now. We went to King's Island and anyone who is large in the way that I am large knows the uncertainty that comes with roller coasters. We went to King's Island and we were like, all right, let's go on a coaster and literally like we're talking to Mandy and her brother about like, all right, so which coasters are like comfortable would be okay for me as a very like large. Even if you're just tall, those roller coasters are tough. So we debated and it was like, okay, we're going to go on this one. We're going to go on the what used to be the Italian job one and is now just called like stunt coaster or something. And we wait in line and we get all the way up there. I they don't have like your test seats. So I have no idea if I'm going to fit. We get all the way to the front. They we it's our turn. We're going to get in and anyone who's a fat guy like me has had this experience where like I get in and I pull it and it goes like, look, look, look, and I'm like, okay, it clicked a bunch and the guy comes over and it's like, I can't see. I have to see this line for and I'm like, okay, yeah, like one more. Is that good? He's like, nah, it needs like a few more still. It's like step on it. All right, man. And just like, yeah, and I'm like, yeah, do it. This is going to be great. I'll survive. And like if they do it and it clicks a couple more times. And finally, he calls his buddy over and they look and they're like, now we have to see the line clearly past this. It's that that's not enough. But and I'm like, all right, I'm too fat. And the way they build roller coasters, of course, they can't just unbuckle me and be like, all right, you off. They're like, all right, everybody. We're going to have to unbuckle your seatbelts or just stay in your seats. There's just a really big fat guy up at the front of the roller coaster is not going to fit. So just pull it right back down and we'll just make him leave while you do that. And so it was like, everything opens and everyone's kind of like, oh, what? I climb out. And as I'm like trying to climb out, really awkward and feeling bad about myself. The guy who was stepping on my lap bar to try and make me fit was like, wait a minute, are you Bob? Literally, we were at the front of the train in front of everyone else. And he's like, are you Bob for distractable guys? This is Bob. Cool. Yeah, cool. Hey, do you want to pick? Do you want to make these people wait while we take a picture really quickly? You go to everybody really, all right, everybody bust out your coins time to start flipping. Uh, it suffice to say, uh, he didn't ask for a picture, but we didn't take what I just like ran away like, I've got him ran and hid somewhere in my shame. But uh, what a moment for someone to just be like, wait, I know you. Look everybody. Another annoying ask the about those roller coasters. They do put them like super tight on you when they're when you're big, like it goes all like it's in your gut. But a lot of the way that they release is they don't just pop up. You're just to push down more for it to release. Oh god. Oh god. I've seen like people have to have like the things fucking removed because they put it so tight on you. When they come around, they push down. They're like, don't give a fuck if it's already tied on you. And it's like, and then you go to get off the thing that's like, guys like, oh, don't worry. But sometimes they can't get it in far enough so they have to come and fucking like disassemble the goddamn thing to get you out. It's the best. It's the best. Yeah, because those things are built for like, you know, I guess kids and if they have to be able to fit kids and people, I don't have to really tall, but they're built for mark sized humans. Hey, I was about to say, yeah, I never have these problems guys. I, I, I, I hate to say it, but imagine being average. I don't remember what the rule is for insulting Mark, but Bob, you've got two points for Mark insults already. As that wasn't an insult, he's average. I didn't call him short at all. I said he's an insult man. That's not a short joke. Yeah, you freaks you freaks. Fuck, does that mean I insulted it by thinking it was an insult? I think yeah, you did. Wait, wait, yeah. What the hell, man? All right. I mean, because you got one insult mark point that for the pillow rum thing, because that was definitely. Was that targeted? No, that was, I was specifically targeting my high school friend Peter. I don't know if you listen to this show, Peter, but yes, I remember that you say pillow wrong. Peter, Peter, if you're listening to this, you need to run. Peter, this is, you're in a coma. You need to wake up. This is your sign. I paid her run. I paid her. All right. I gave myself one mark insult point. Those two combined had to be at least one mark insult. All right. I wasn't targeting Mark at all. The word that marks this funny was not in part of my examples. I mean, I say room kind of funny, apparently. It kind of is still it's not room. It's room. It's room. It's room. The bed room. Nuclear box. Nuclear ICBMs. Nuclear underpants radioactive. You know, they used to have radium things to make your water radioactive. I just saw. There used to just straight up be textures. The only thing about which is this has a shitload of radium in it. Drink this and you'll get your daily dose of radium, which you want. Yep. That's it. Between that and like lead products, like we were seeing a thing about the de-out love pass. I don't know if you guys are familiar with that one where people went like hiking and ended up all being dead or whatever. And then there was they solved the de-out love pass mystery. Ultimately, they concluded like five or six years ago, there was like a guy that went out and said, yes, they think what ended up happening was there was an avalanche, like a minor, a minor avalanche that came down to hit the tent, which is like usually the precursor to a bigger avalanche. So I think that the people burst out of the tent to run away, thinking there was another avalanche. But since there wasn't a bigger one, they were just out there fucking freezing to death because they didn't get all their stuff in time because they were running thinking there's gonna be an avalanche. They tried building like a little campfire or hiding under like some some rock structure that ended up collapsing. Ultimately, hypothermia and they for all froze the death or got crushed by shit to death. Thinking they were escaping an avalanche that never came. Couldn't be me. I have this regular thought experiment. I'm like, okay, what if I was transported into the Siberian wilderness? Like, boom, I'm naked in the middle of the frozen tundra. What do I do? And the answer shockingly isn't die immediately. I figure away. You figure away. Nonspecifically, I figured out once I watch enough outdoor boys YouTube channel videos, I'll know exactly what to do. Nothing makes your brain move faster than the cold, right? Yeah. I absolutely have that same confidence. I've never once started a fire without the aid of like a lighter and flammable shit. I would definitely figured out. I would within the first few hours, I would have camp set up. I would have enough shelter with some kind of fire that I would survive, that I'd have to work out food because you have to figure out the food situation, but that's not as immediately pressing as dying of exposure. So yeah, yeah, I figured. No, I see what you're saying. I figured out. I was thinking of the Franklin expedition, which was like 160 odd years ago. So 10 cans used to not be 10 cans. They were lead cans and a lot of food. So they had this long expedition where they were trying to find a trade route through like the Arctic. All of their meals, they were like eating out of lead cans, which, you know, how good lead is for you. And then they got stuck in the ice and a bunch of shit went wrong. You know, they'll die. Whatever. Have you? But like, yeah, 10 lead, we used to eat lead. We're just like, oh, lead paint, lead cans, lead. I know about this because I went to Norway. And so you get it from the Norwegian perspective of the people they were racing to find like an Arctic path. And then the first to the South Pole is also another part of that. And every time from the Norwegians perspective was just like, yeah, and then the British really fucked up. They did not know what they were doing at all. And it's like, especially to the South Pole, and where it's like the Norwegian expedition is like, oh, it's such a race. It's very arduous. You know, they have to send people back all the time. And they get there in their first, they planned their flag from the British perspective. It's like, and then 13 people died on the first leg. And then they shot all their horses on the second leg. And then they lost another person. And there were four people left to climb the last ridge. And one person went there and or maybe a few. And then they get there. And there's already a Norwegian flag after they all of their people died in the words of their dead. They did not make it back. They all died. So yeah, from the Norwegian perspective, these these Franklin's lost expedition does not surprise me. I'm curious what we're going to find. I'm sure something with fast food will come out and like 200 years with it like, these fuckers voluntarily went and spent their money eating this poison plastics. It's definitely microplastics. Yeah. But at least we're aware, you know, for this place that we're not aware of, right? I'm already like 18% microplastic. When I die, I'm either going to be buried or recycled. I'm too much plastic to be cremated. I'm actually environmentally. That's true. Sadly, you can't recycle plastic. Can't you? Well, you can, but they don't. I've been so disheartened because when I get my trash collected, I see them pick up the garbage can throw it in the back. And then I see them pick up the recycling can throw it in the same spot. And I go, oh, man, I mean, there's a. There's like a diviner. It's a habit system. It's just like Johnson. And I still I still separate my recycle. Well, I still do it. Even though I know what's happened to do it there. I'm still like, I'm doing my part. I can't imagine not. I know that it's not. This is just like a privileged thing because I grew up in a in a better off neighborhood and whatever I grew up where I grew up, I grew up. We had recycling like my whole childhood as far as I remember. So literally the way you take the trash out is you separate out the recycling and take it out and you have two pins and that it's always been like that. And I can't I can't even imagine not because Because I like you, I'm sort of disillusioned about the state of industrial recycling and what what they actually do with any of the stuff and that I pay for the extra recycling service Seems really stupid, but like it's a compulsion. How do you put out your trash if you're not separating the recycling and like making sure like, oh, this is a number one that can go in the recycling. That's good. Okay. I've neighbors in the neighborhood I live in now who just have just a trash can in my brain. It's like, what do you just keep your recycling? What do you recycle yourself? My grandparents did that. They would keep the recycling and take it in themselves. They got one of those like canned crushers where they just put the cans. I love that. I feel like I would be better off just trying getting a smelter and melting all my aluminum cans down and smelting it. Smelting out and I could smelt it into things. Dude, you could you could make your own custom heatsinks get some kind of mold. Well, you have 3D printers, right? So you could 3D print and then make a sandcast of your 3D print and then use the sand sand molding to make like perfect little shelves. You can make them with Capri Sun insert slots for cooling. I just melt down the Capri Suns. Do you ever watch Nighthawk in lights videos? They're the person that got me into Glauber's salt. I do not. They made a video about 2 weeks ago that had a like, it's to make flow batteries and it's not about flow batteries. It kind of tangentially nuclear so I'll take some points for this. But it's like he's making. I don't know that's how this one works. I am. He's making a flow battery and he needs like this sort of graphite material to have like a lot of surface area for the anodin cathode, right? Of a battery and it's like there's this extremely expensive material that you can buy in bulk, but it's expensive. But you can make your own using this carbon insulation material that then you strip with some fluid and then put in your microwave kiln and microwave till it's 2000 degrees or something like that. And I'm like holy shit. This is why I think microwaves don't work the way people say they do. Because it's just like he had it in this is that safe to go that high. He had it outside so it's perfectly fine. But it's just like I I know they say like oh it heats up by water molecules vibrating and that's what heats your food. And I go like well then why when you put aluminum foil into it it turns into plasma. What water molecules are vibrating to do that. And I'm like there's I want to make a microwave smelter. Well, I don't know why that wouldn't work. I couldn't tell you why it would work either, but I definitely don't know why it wouldn't work in Los Angeles. This is probably the best thing I could do does not sound like the headline of the next fire that destroys a major residential area at all. What would you be smelting metal. I'm helping the environment. There's only so many things you could smell at home. You don't want to be you can't be doing high, like high temperature complicated shit. Call me crazy here. But isn't isn't that the one thing you're not supposed to put in a microwave is metal? No, no, they just say that so you don't discover it's it's dangerous if you don't if you're not doing it on purpose is dangerous because you might do something you're not expecting. But isn't it dangerous if you do it on purpose? It just becomes a plasma. What about that one YouTuber who who created like a 20,000 watt microwave and it is about William, William Osmond. No, styro pyro. Have you seen his 40, like 400 car battery experiment? Yes. Yes. Literally melts and cause the magnet. It feels so strong all the wires to the things. He made a microwave that was unbelievable. He called it a microwave. I get nervous just plugging things into the wall. I wouldn't fuck with that. Yeah. Well, he seems to not care about that. So maybe you should reevaluate your priorities. I'm a coward. You are a coward. I'll take some points for that. Can I just say as a I would never insult my first opportunity. Wait, you fucking bitch. There was an hour into recording that was not the first opportunity. I know as a completely ignorant, non-scientist myself, how the fuck do we have things that are so ubiquitous that we don't understand the technology? Do we sincerely not really understand how microwaves work? Because every house in America definitely has at least one of those bad boys sitting somewhere inside that makes popcorn once every two months at minimum. It's no, they're it's understood how like the microwaves are generated the wave guide putting them in there that the kind of like it's not clear how it heats things up or why aluminum becomes plans. Like I know that you said that, but like that's a thing, right? People are like, Oh, we don't even know how that works completely. I think I don't know how it works completely. I'm sure there's plenty of scientists that could explain it better than I could. I think it probably does make water molecules vibrate in food. And then it also does other things depending on the material like it might scientists explain it to me like I'm a host on distract whatever intelligence level you think that represents, but that that's a that's maybe it's just complicated or hard for normies to understand. You're not the first and or only person I've heard say that right? It's a common like it's one of those things. People just thought we're like, we don't even really know how microwaves work. There has to be some amount of truth to that or like maybe we didn't for a long time or something. Obviously not that because they make them so they know how to make the thing that he meets the microwaves to begin with and they contain them theoretically so that it's safe to be in your house. But there's some mystery in it. What's the mystery? You got me, but it makes things hot. Makes the hell of a good pizza roll if you do it right. Whoa, whoa, are you are you telling me you microwave pizza rules tell me to do this to your cell phone purpose. Wait, what's wrong with it? I find a way to make them better there than I feel like they come out in the oven. Yeah. Wrong. It's a hell. I know it's a hell of an act. I'm an excursion. But like there's one thing that microwaves don't do. It's make anything in the known universe crispy. And that's the only thing I want with my pizza rolls is a little bit of crispiness. If you over cook them in the microwave, they do come out crispy. And I feel like they're better than when they're in the oven. I haven't had a pizza rolls since I've gotten an air fryer, but I bet an air fryer would do it really well. Dude air fryer is the way air fryer is the truth when it comes to pizza rolls. It's air fryer is basically just an oven with a fan. It's a convection oven. Yeah. But it's small. So you could put only the amount of food you actually want to eat inside of it, which is problematic if what you want to eat is 20 chicken wings. When we chicken wings would fit in my air fryer. You just have to have the right air fryer. I'm hungry. So still neat and lunch nuclear. We've really gone nuclear. We've gone microwave. We've gone Kings Island. We've gone plastics. I will say I think that modern nuclear technology probably is pretty safe. And if it's made not cheaply and correctly, it probably is. Oh, absolutely. Yeah. But like I guess long term ramifications are like is it safe 500 years from now? Like just the how how do they replace all the infrastructure? I'm sure there's probably a plan hopefully in place. Also, there is nuclear waste. And the way that the half life of nuclear material works. Is it radiation and shit like that sticks around a while. So eventually you're going to have a lot of waste. That's what I was going to say is I'm not an expert. My understanding is that nuclear power is actually the just as safe as current standards. And also like the most environmentally effective version of generating electricity, except it does generate nuclear waste. And our current solution for that is put in that big fucking mountain and nobody go over there. And we'll just hope that never fills all the way up. So we keep putting into that big mountain that we made. Um, but like, yeah, assume that's at some point in the future, someone will invent the whatever device and it will remanufacture nuclear waste into probably puppy food or diapers for babies. Who knows? My baby's ass is glowing. Is that normal doctor? Oh, you can change it in the dark without having to turn on the lights and wake your poor baby. Well, I mean, okay, the thing about nuclear waste is it really doesn't generate that much compared to other energy mediums because nuclear power is so dense compared to other any other form of it. So either we put it in one spot in the ground and don't touch it, which, you know, someone could, I guess, I have to say, or we do what we currently do, which is shoot it all in the air. Like all the byproducts just, oh, why can't we just launch our nuclear waste to the moon? Oh, I thought he said son, I see the other side of smart idea. Yeah, see, I guess it would be expensive to put it in a thing that's safe to get through the atmosphere. And then also it's job is to go explode on the sun. It's like restaurants in the 90s. We just need to make sure that we're in the non-smoking section of the earth. And everyone else can have the nuclear fallout when that happens, right? Maybe yeah, actually. We just would just put a big non-nuclear sign over America, and that'll keep all the nuclear dust out of our atmosphere. We just designated some parts of the world as being the ew zone, and we'll put all of our ew there. So we already have that, and it called the ew. We could, I had an idea. You can say it. I'll just take my points, and I forgot what it was. Is that how this episode works? You just asked for points. He didn't ask. He told. Yeah, yeah, I'll just take him through. All right, well, that's nuclear power, everyone. We've done it. We've gone nuclear. The waste, we're just going to launch into a mountain, and if you guys finally want housing to be affordable, just buy it near the nuclear waste site. I remember. Why can't we throw it in a volcano? That thing you said about it going in the atmosphere, I think of volcano would just be a much cooler version of that, wouldn't it? No, you throw it in there. It'll melt down. You see, we're putting all of our waste up, and then you take a big cork, and you go. No, it stays in there till it's over. Gone see this is why science works in teams you got the ideas all build and then your pressure cooking it so you can use it again Yeah, yeah, what if I put it in a can crusher and I put that in my microwave And I turn it into something else it will become a plasma which I've heard is a good thing to donate to blood banks So I assume is a good thing and I got nuclear-powered plasma running through my veins. I have at least three days to live That'd be a long time you kind of don't want that at that point if you get a nuclear plasma in your blood No, one thing I learned is how awful radiation sickness and death is From when you were a problem in the airport and the police interrupted your Chernobyl watching yeah, I was talking I was like guys listen what if we all just go to Chernobyl as one we could all be occult and the police came up and they're like Hey, we want your photograph like sure that seems normal This reminds me of a story that I don't think I tell when I went from Poland to back to America and we were in line for The security and then someone walked through these these two little pylons and one of them started beeping right and it was one of those Beeps where I was like that's a new one haven't heard that one before and everyone goes quiet and it's quiet for like a Minute before this guy security guard comes out and he's got a hand detector for something and he's waving it like this Oh And it's not like clicking like a gagger counter is beeping and he's just sweeping around looking around everyone's dead silent looking at the guy and he's just And he goes up to someone there's a woman who I thought was like holding a baby and he's holding the thing right up to what I think is a baby And it's going And he just was like Just gestures with his finger. I'm not hearing any words exchange and it's like they're slowly meandering and what'll happen Is this guy keeps waving it as he's going but he's like follow me? They go through the pylons it goes beep again and every once in a while he'll stop turn around go Mm-hmm to the people that are following him And it's like taking a couple steps in time. He's sweeping around Come with me and then they left no announcement nothing was said everyone just resumed back into security No clue what it was. I have no idea. It was at the poll in airport. Anybody know what that was actually just a system They used to keep order he gets all those people back to the back and they're all terrified and he's like It's okay. We're just going to look at your passport so that you can go We just use that to keep the crowds chilled out everyone out there It's going to be freaked out for the whole rest of the time. They're here. It's great It's actually a detector for full arts really valuable Pokemon cards and whenever that went off the guy knew that she had one He's like I got to confiscate this kept it in a baby pupus just like it's just cards I had to buy a little like carry-on bag to bring the cards back because our suitcase was already so full going there I was like you stuffed a carry-on full of Pokemon cards you have a problem sounds like a federal crime or something Cross state lines do you pay taxes on that it went through their scanner they let me through I guess I could have driven it across State lines and it would have been fine too. That's weird. I hope someone tells us what that meant because I know I'm curious I want to know what that was. I'll take some points from our story. Thanks. Can I get the same you guys are certainly getting something Well, it's points I assume any final thoughts on nuclear. I'm going to wrap this one up. I don't know if I had any original thoughts on nuclear But you're welcome. Great. That's how this show works I bring up a topic and you just don't give a fuck. Yeah, pretty much bounty bounty Bounty. Oh What is that? It's a picture of my dog in a distract double merch. Oh Shit. How do we confirm this? Is there always that would be to look at the bounty list? What do you mean? I'm showing you Oh, you mean how do we confirm it's a bounty? Yeah, it's on the list that that is on the official list on the subreddit That is a bounty. I had a picture of the moon and I for some reason couldn't find it I was like I had a picture that I managed to take with my GoPro of like it through a Telephoto lens and I got a good picture of it and I can't find it So I ran out and I put the shirt on GK. I put it on Number four on the May list of bounty additions Recent person in four one four eight get a picture of their dog in distractible merch shirt Specifically shirt, which he did do all right bounty confirmed over Dean. That's our first bounty That's what I'm talking about. I forgot to get the coin flip right after I walked away from those fans I'm like fuck. Ah shit completely forgot Yeah, now that you say it. I had a hell of a way to look at that story of me holding up the entire roller coaster ride If I had just done the coin flip thing then and there, but it didn't fucking occur to me I wish I'd pull out a coin turn to the cops have been like I want to play a game Well, that's why that's why when we have this thing and people will stand up with this and when we have this you know when it's ready We'll have this always honest. Yeah I think you should leave that but just Sam blur it to death so they have no idea what's happening You'll you'll love that when you get to know what it is. I guarantee it. I'm like the men's warehouse guy Wait until the points Bob you got points for like a dog biting a male man nuclear Hello room Peter slash not mark jab mark-sized human I don't insult Called me a coward. Yes insult fan in the worst way at King's Island and you got some points for wanting points Mark you got points for a thick cedar picture thorium salt reactor if people are saying nuclear Societies in a good place if we're fighting over the way to say words learning about the Franklin expedition in Norway I asked what would be the thing in 200 years we look back on our era and be like um bad idea you said plastic very quickly You met some very tall fans. You had a tangential nuclear story you brought up the macro microwave stuff You asked for points a couple times. You got a couple points for asking for them And then you got the I gave you three points for the bounty because it's the first bounty we've ever done We said two to three points it's our first ever bounty. So I gave out the three uh our totals It was 11 to seven mark and then mark got three for the bounty So you didn't really need to use that bounty here. So he's 14 to seven Wait a minute whoa whoa three. I thought regular bounties were one. I thought we said two to three judges I only gave three. I would say something that says low effort as getting your dog picture in a shirt is Doesn't rise to the level of like. Oh, that's an extraordinary bounty That's not a super hard one. I would agree that it's a two pointer But I gave a point for it being the first ever bounty ready. Oh Jesus. Wow. All right. Well, so And I think if he was going to use it on an episode he was already dominating Might as well give him the point now for it. Come on golf rules. Let's do this All right, and I have four points one of which is a mark insult because I thought Bob insulted mark But it was really just me insulting him on the inside or something Is your own prejudice shining through you jerk? Oh great wheel. We ask you how many spins will we do today Do it is thank you. We need to pick me up You know, sometimes people just have a bad time or a bad week So I'm gonna add had the worst time since we last spoke because you know what a point for that at least means you're getting something out of it That's good. That's good. I hope I get that one. I had a great week But you know got 113 options like one of them will save me in this situation I got two spins to find it. What are the odds? Let's go, baby It's only between you two right? So since I'm on the board with four it wouldn't go to me right? I don't know. I don't think we ever had that person's most interruptions of the other guy Which other guy? I don't remember what that means I think whenever like one of the competitors is talking the other person erupts a bunch because it's kind of what I do Yeah, but we have a separate role where if none of us can remember what the rules we deleted But I think we know what that one is. Is that a respawn or do you want to call that way because we probably interrupted each other But it wasn't aggressive this episode runny. It doesn't stand out. I would say respawn. It's been number one part two Bench and their significant other the most I said Amy. I both of you mentioned your significant others And I did not mention Mandy a single time. I don't think I would have if I had done small talk I will be about honest my small talk included Mandy. I had it prepared. We'll never know Yeah, I'll probably forget it by the time we record the next one anyway. Come on gulf rules Come on Okay Minus one to current loser. Does that me or you because I'm on the board if you can't win It's me because you're not the winner or the loser. You're the host. So that means I'm the current loser That's hilarious you get a bad day. You just need to make it worse Back to my old ways with the random chance games. I love this for me. Let's flip some coins. I'm feeling it guys Final score is uh me with five. Oh no With six Okay, be wait. Thank god mark with 15 holy shit That might be one of the biggest point differentials we've had at least in recent memory Mark really went off at the end there and then he had the bounty on top of it. So yeah Bob the loser speech Sometimes the universe speaks to you and who am I to question the wisdom of the universe? I suck and I deserve to lose So says the wheel so says the universe so it must be true Today, it's just the truth of everything. I suck. I should not have won and I I did not win, and the one who should have won clearly did. So thank you universe for your infinite wisdom, thank you Wade for not giving me any points for most of what I said, and congratulations to Mark, clearly the better competitor and person on today's episode. Uh, Mark, our leads are King, our leader, our most dominant winner. Would you like to give a winner's speech? My goodness, I can barely be humble with all these accolades being heaped upon me, but I will humbly accept them all. I did it. Whatever I did, whenever I was saying the random stuff, and we were both saying pretty random things the entire time, I said it better somehow, which just shows that fate aligned with me on this day. What Bob said was right, it was purely the gods above smiling down upon us. And I think that is something you can just, what happened? You don't need to mention a lot, you don't need to look it in the eye, it's just happening, I'm not going to say I did anything about it, because that will keep it going. As long as I don't acknowledge it ever happened, my winning streak will continue, and the good luck will shower upon me. For the moment that I look it in the eye, it will turn on me, and it will rip me from twain to twain. Both twains. Both my twains are going to be ripped straight out from Mark all the way to Shania. Yeah, your host speech. Both of them don't like the way I did points, even though Mark won with them, so I won't be winning again anytime soon. So enjoy this while it lasts, I'll see you all next season whenever I host again. Congratulations, if it already go follow Bob at my skirt, Mark at Markiplier, don't follow me. Stay tuned for the next one, Mark will host, and we'll probably definitely not do the perfectest crime, unless podcast out.
