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. What's up, Satan? Stop, you smartspawn of Satan. I think that was still technically a compliment, maybe. I'm gonna 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 that God looked at Satan and said, "Damn." I might be going to hell for that day. 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 he 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, you know, history by the victors. God's just writing, "Satan's such an asshole." "God, me, damn him." God really wrote the first Taylor Swift album. "Me, damn you, Satan." He's gonna be in hell where evil people go. And I made that. It's not his choice. It's mine. Sounds like a Trump spoiler. Sounds 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 do game. We small talk. Small talk? I got small talk. You guys have small talk? I got small talk. I got small talk. Small talk. Who first? Small talk. You go first. Me? Yeah. If you use it up now, you won't get any points in the future. 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, hung out with 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, had some pool time. I got to test my knee a little bit, which is better. I still have moments where it doesn't really hurt, but something is still weird about it. And 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 patellar bow flex." And I was like, "Oh, that sounds right." Tell your doctor exactly that. My magenta is between my patellar and my bow flex. 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?" You know Tyler. From hit podcasts, 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, your magenta's real patellarized." I hate when my doctor goes, "Hill's a Tennessee accent." No, you love when your doctor does that. I love when my doctor goes, "Hill's a Tennessee accent." Accent? Accident. No, accent. Accident's different. Hill's a Tennessee accident. Oh, what else? Oh, the real horrible tragedy of what happened in Virginia. We went to some retro 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, had been collecting different collectible cards. There's all kinds now. There's Yu-Gi-Oh! Magic, Pokemon, One Piece. I guess everything has a card set now. I used to collect Pokemon cards back in the '90s. Made the mistake of mentioning that. And the guys were like, "Do you want to just buy a pack for old time's sake?" I was like, "Guys, that's probably a bad idea." Listen, I don't dip my toe into things. If I go in, I dive in head first and I'm all in. They're like, "Oh, come on. One pack. It won't be that bad." $4,000 later, Wade has a stack of valueless Pokemon cards in his closet. Hold on. Only two. 2,000? Yes. Holy shit. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. What did you do? I bought a lot of cards. Oh my God. Did you get a single good one that was worth anything? Yeah, actually. So I started going in on Prismatic Evolution and Chaos Rising sets. What does that even mean? What does that mean? Mark doesn't know. Do you know what that means? Prismatic Evolution and Chaos Rising? Please. People who know, know. If you don't know, I'm not. Listen, every six months, a new Pokemon set comes out, it feels like, or something. What the hell is this? What the hell is this Chaos? What am I looking at? I can't even. So back whenever I collected cards, there was the base set of Pokemon, right? Where you just had the. There was no symbols. There was 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 gym leader 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 the last I'd collected cards since whatever year that was. 2000. So I've seen that cards exist and people collect them. I've seen that if you have a pack of cards unopened from the '90s, the first set, the pack itself, unopened, goes for like $600, $700 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. It's crazy what you can just. If you just buy something and you do the Wade version of just stash it away. My God, one day it 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. But I do have a full base set and maybe. I don't know. I'd have to look. But anyway, I've gone into the deep end of Pokemon cards, which is why I don't do hobbies. I don't just like to habble. I'm like, mobile game? Must have every character. Pokemon cards? Must master set. What happened to like reading or like you could whittle? You seem like a guy who would whittle. You strike me as a whittler. He does got whittle vibes, don't he? 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 patchouli. No, what's that called? Pipipu. No, hang on. It's pipipu wood. Yes, yes, yes. Yeah, it's purple cedar. Purple cedar, yeah. So I think whenever 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. 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 this 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 don't know. I have no idea. It's like the 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 have to 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 I think that earns me some points, right? So should I describe the image? No, you don't need to describe it. You don't need to describe it. We don't need to talk about it. Listeners and viewers alike. We'll have to figure that one out for themselves. What was I talking about? Whittling Pokemon cards. Yeah. So I've, I've started collecting. A little distracted and 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 so each card will have a number right it'll be like if there's 80 cards it'll be like oh you have card 37 out of 80 but apparently now it's a lie because it 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 all so 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 can i just ask do people do that do people get into pokemon because it's like oh this specific set appeals 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 how do you care about a thing where they just keep adding shit to it and they keep getting more complex is it really sentimental for people i don't know it just 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 80 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 gone to some local card shops around cincinnati mom and i was like oh my god this is so cool 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 because 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 because that's like if i want a master set i want one of each card from a set right but people go for the chase cards which are ones they put in like the harder cases they're called top loaders i've learned i think all of them 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 sylveon from the prismatic evolution that's apparently like a two to four hundred dollar card ungraded so that was a great pull i pulled that that was great i think the bird pulled it but it's 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 want to have like a set i just want to 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 because my god the cost is insane there's like a latios latios if you guys know those two legendaries they're like jet plane looking birds from gen 3 uh 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 who told me it was expensive like how expensive could it be the cheapest one i could find was two thousand dollars for one piece of cardboard i better start printing stuff on pieces of cardboard see what happens you guys want to make some distractible collectible stuff for the industry might as well but yeah scalpers have the reason everything's so crazily priced is because people are like people want this what if i hoard this and raise price because they're fucking monsters scalpers are monsters but i mean it is just crazy how the the the way that people think about the money and it gets it just destroys anything but it's worse when the companies lean into it i feel like there's a lot from the pokemon company that's probably like very happy that a lot of people are trying to fight for the value of this and you know then they can raise their own prices and then they're gonna yeah well that's probably that's probably funny though because like they see this and they're like oh yeah oh people fucking love these things we gotta make more but it's like yeah well you're selling them for eighty dollars a box or whatever and then someone sells what's in that box for five thousand dollars and you don't see any of that shit yeah that's the thing is like a lot of the retail it's still high i don't know what a pack comes out to typically now maybe like six to eight dollars a pack or something maybe more but like whenever we were collecting i say we whenever i was collecting back in the 90s it was like literally 299 or 399 for a single pack yeah well i used to do magic when i was in like middle school high school magic gathering and i it was like two or three bucks for a booster back then so you could go go to go to the local store grab a few boosters for like eight or ten bucks maybe have a good time open some packs get nothing now it's higher the base value but you're never going to find base value anywhere uh gamestop just got uh in well i wouldn't say in trouble but there was a lot of controversy around gamestop gamestop and 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 but people a lot of people were upset some people defended some people were upset about it whatever but like 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 hormuz is closed immediately raise 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 going to go back down which we control in the end you can't push it back down kept getting closed again so i guess i guess there may be some logic in that but no you know it's weird it's just a little weird uh i also had a really speaking of spending lots of money you guys god i'm ashamed to admit this what's going on with you all right doordash i've used doordash 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 doordash that's rude that's just rude do you have any idea what that number was five figure is this is this five year is this five figure number sixty thousand dollars jesus uh i don't know you eat a lot of food you've eaten a lot and that goes on back for covid where it was like there were periods during during lockdowns and shit where it was like if you didn't have groceries what are you supposed to do it was thirteen thousand nine hundred i knew it was five figures i knew it was five figures i saved thirteen thousand nine hundred dollars 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 only saw the savings what i've saved on fees delivery and whatever else that you know the eighteen thousand 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 a hundred thousand but i bet it's pretty up there i mean if you think about having a meal delivered probably on average it's not over a hundred thousand but if you think about having a meal delivered 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 i feel like a lot of the times we do or door dashing it's like well we have guests in town and we need food and we don't want to bring a party of 10 people to a restaurant necessarily or whatever and i'm not cooking for my friends all my money is going to pokemon cards and doordash so half of it is definitely wade eating freddy's while we're filming distractible i've never had that in a minute that sounds good i've not had lunch yet thanks man he's gonna order now he's gonna order for while we record yeah wait they have pokemon cards too you can door dash pokemon curse i don't know i don't 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 few and i had an episode too oh 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 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 the small talk of my own episode i'm such a rude ass you're doing so good i'm all the small talk of my own episode i'm such a rude ass why don't get the host anymore you're such a rude ass another thing i did while traveling because i didn't have a book with me is i watched i watched a show that i hadn't seen about it 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 i meant power but you can nuke if you look oh oh power oh what are we doing sports teams individuals institutions what are we nuking mark's like wait is sour patch kids a country i learned that the 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 new calendar called the end of the world and i'm like oh my god i'm so sorry i'm so sorry i'm so sorry i'm so sorry i'm so sorry i'm so sorry i'm so sorry i'm so sorry i'm so sorry i'm so sorry i'm so sorry the end of the moon that was just a sequence of mark nuking the moon to bits how many nukes would it take to destroy the moon i don't know mr owl why don't you show us a one 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 this guy watches one mini series knows how nukes work well it's a simple that that's a pretty it's a 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 comrade the gas off and chernobyl a then someone was like, "Hey, actually we need more power for the day. guys just so they'd gone 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 because here we only say yes um so the nuclear power plant stayed in low power mode all day which is not good for it it was beating 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 this shit doesn't look right and the guy running the test was like nah 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 i don't know 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 250 control rods only 18 were left inside and the nuclear reaction was like hey there's nothing stopping me i'm let's fucking go crazy yo ultimately as the numbers started to go down the reactor was like oh my god i'm going to start shooting up there was a kill switch i forget what 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 um 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 happened radiation leaked um some disasters were actually prevented that could have been a lot worse at chernobyl but i think it's still responsible for at least four to nine thousand 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 did and so on and so forth uh 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 at three mile i've not looked into that one fukushima there was a like a 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 seawater 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 buildup and so on and so forth so you're not worried about hosting the whole family for the holidays why would i be wayfair had everything i needed to get the house holiday ready what if mike brings his cheerful dogs my tree has tons of five-star reviews telling me how sturdy it is but what if everyone's plus one brings a plus one we'll see how extendable this extendable table really is and extra chairs are on the way okay what if there's a blizzard and everyone has to sleep over ready to go with extra bedding and towels from guest ready essentials to holiday decor you can trust wayfair delivers they call it 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 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 circumstances if you 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 to need to overlap for it to happen that's why 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 in them cheese with holes and holes with cheese around them anyone that's got cheese in their holes you deserve to be nuked 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 gonna have regular hole inspections to make sure those holes aren't cheesy please don't ask me to inspect your holes i don't want to i really don't i don't want to cavity search for cheese no no no no not cavity search hole search what are we talking about nuclear nuclear power oh those are what i know about you guys are welcome to describe 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 i already 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 do i know what you're asking us you don't even need to know what you're asking us you don't even need to know what you're asking us you don't even need to know know what you're asking us you don't even need to know what you're asking us you don't even need to 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 fissile it needs to absorb a neutron to become uranium-233 but the problem is uranium-233 could quickly or fairly simply turn into plutonium no protactinium-233 the fuck is that oh shit what nah shit sounds 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 making all the actual nuclear engineers mad which is my favorite thing to do somehow still better than our brander brand slander you've coined a term for i i i want you guys to settle something for me because i feel conflicted about this i've already said it once or twice but this is an honest to god debate and i think you : different crowds different people come down on different sides of this the word is nuclear as in nucleus nuclear right yes 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 uh like native english-speaking people say that word much the same way as people pronounce like pillow as pillow or room as a room is someone in my room what weirdos would do that we are experts in speaking out loud so thus we are experts in language is nuclear is 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 nuclear is an acceptable but to me when i was a kid i was like he said it wrong we're gonna find her we're gonna 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 nerd man oh language is a living thing but i've got a lot of like southernisms in my family so i feel like i've heard nuclear a bunch i mean i said nuclear if someone 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 everyone knows i'm smarter than them but like whoa what a thing that they're out there my cross to bear so it's so to you it's acceptable because like friends and family go there friends and family have this yeah i mean i'm not gonna like make a big deal out of it yeah i don't care but for different reasons than wade i just want to differentiate myself from a little bit uh but i don't care just because it's not worth the fight like there's so many if we're as a society to 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 uh to where we want to be um 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're 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 sam where do you even get that video of me stabbing mark wow look at all these different angles of him stabbing that's crazy whoa we got a 4d gaussian splat of me getting stabbed by bob holy shit wait we have a slow-mo angle from the knife's perspective oh my god we've got the minority report psychic future vision of bob stabbing me dream sequence and everything wow sam where'd you get that that's crazy sure that's production value right there there's me as the dead wife under the bed sheets before i got stabbed i don't know whose perspective we're looking at i guess amy's what happened exactly hold on where's the i thought it was just you and bob where's the wife come from no no 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 it doesn't seem like he knows everybody 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 if 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 i know what that noise means you don't have to explain my noises it was so light i barely even heard it that's the sound my ass makes after i eat too much skyline no no that's wetter no anyway let's get back to discussing how nuclear reactors function right right right wait can i talk about i meant to talk about this uh uh during small talk but because there was something that was so funny that happened uh on my journeys and it's not necessarily uh the main point of my small talk but i met some fans right so many things happening uh someone spotted me through my um through my mask which i'm like hey if you manage to get me through that like you it's totally fine i usually do in the airport both because i've never really no one cared who you were till you took off the mask exactly just like that that's that's what it was uh so i say hi i take a picture and we go our separate ways they were very nice um and they were even very nice afterwards uh but then they posted the picture on the subreddit and it got tons of tons of votes for some reason um but in in the end it was just a it's really funny because it just shows like some people's 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 uh 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 for this fun i'm like literally in the photo you posted i'm taller than both of you like what why why would you do this to me commenter comes her original 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 i 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 i was like there's no way both of them can be that tall he's he's got a beauty beauty microscopic and i'm like oh i mean it's pretty unlikely that you're going to be that tall but you'd have two such a freakishly tall friends isn't that 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 six foot four 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 five one but i ate the chili and i grew nine inches it's just like i feel you didn't get the big boy three way did you just get the normal one actually i didn't eat the chili until later so maybe that was my problem that's the thing yeah that's the thing ignore the fact that i grew up in a different city uh nuclear powered dildos nuclear powered um side tangent mark's fan so okay whoa what the fuck wait your fan your fan meetup triggered this memory in my head whoa hold on a second you can't go from nuclear powered dildos to oh this reminds me of you mark well no no before we get to the dildos before the dildos okay all right okay uh-huh wink uh molly 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 uh we decided we wanted to get food and the food place molly decided on was like we were in b terminal this was in like the very end of a terminal which i didn't know till i was getting there it was a long walk so we walked to our gate and we drop off our bags like yeah molly molly said she'd sit with the bags while i go get food and on the way we're on one platform sidewalk whatever they call moving sidewalk i don't know what the term is speedifiers 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 guy is still cursing more people are kind of like watching seeing like hey 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 molly texts me updates like hey police came and talked to the guy but now there's a lady who missed her flight very upset she's like i'm supposed to be first class i blah blah blah blah and you can't do this to me because they wouldn't let her board after the plane apparently had already left i guess they're supposed to hold the whole plane up for her and she was later some i don't know that does make it true tricky so police calm the guy down they're keep an 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 like oh well i guess at least they whatever's happening they're handling that get back start eating food uh we eat i put on my headphones i go back to watching my regularly scheduled chernobyl on my tablet and uh molly 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 hi they're like are you wade and i was like who's asking yes uh like dude we are such big fans and i was like oh thank god oh every because everyone in our like sitting areas like looking at me they're like these police officers have had to take care of two problematic people here already you 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 uh i'm like i was like oh thank god i didn't know what you guys were i was like i didn't know i don't know anything i didn't see what happened i take the picture and you know they head off and people are just there i'm 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 and drove back over to come say hi which is cool but headphones on after all these events looking 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 watching shit you guys like chernobyl i scared the shit out of me i was like i don't oh god what i do i didn't do anything wrong i swear wade 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 for me i'm like oh my god i'm like i'm like i'm like i'm like i'm like funny now uh 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 was 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 we debated and it was like okay we're gonna go on this one we're gonna go on the what used to be the uh italian job one and is now just called like stunt coaster or something uh and we wait in line and we get all the way up there i they don't have like your test seat so i have no idea if i'm gonna 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 click click click click and i'm like okay it clicked a bunch and the guy comes over and is like ah i can't see i have to see this line for and i'm like okay yeah yeah click one more is that good and he's like nah nah it needs like a few more still it's like step on it i'll suck you in my gut you step on it and literally this guy's like all right man and just like and i'm like yeah do it do it this is gonna be great i'll survive and like they do it and it clicks a couple more times and finally he calls his buddy over and they look and they're like no we have to see the line clearly past this it's that's not enough but and i'm like oh 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 uh we're gonna have to unbuckle your seat belts or just stay in your seats there's just a really big fat guy up at the front of the roller coaster he's not gonna fit uh so just pull it right back down and uh 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 and i'm like okay i'm not gonna be able to do this i'm not gonna be able to do this i'm not gonna be able to do this i'm not gonna be able to do this i'm not gonna be able to do this i'm not gonna be able to do this i'm not gonna be able to do this i'm not gonna be able to do this i'm not gonna be able to do this i'm not gonna be able to do this 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, or maybe a few, and then they get there and there's already a Norwegian flag after all of their people died and their horses are dead. They did not make it back. They all died. So yeah, from the Norwegian perspective, these Franklin's Lost Expedition does not surprise me. I'm curious what we're gonna find. I'm sure something with fast food will come out in like 200 years where they're like these fuckers voluntarily went and spent their money eating this poison. Plastics. It's definitely microplastics, yeah. At least we're aware, you know, but there's probably something we're not aware of, right? I'm already like 18% microplastic. When I die, I'm either gonna be buried or recycled. I'm too much plastic to be cremated. I'm bad for the environment. 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. Maybe there's a. There's like a divider. It's a half-and-half system. And I still separate my recyclable. I still do it even though I know what's happening to it there. I'm still like, hey, I'm doing my part. I can't imagine not. I know that it's not. This is just like a privilege thing because I grew up 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 bins and that. It's always been like that. And I can't even imagine not because I. Like you, I'm sort of disillusioned about the state of industrial recycling and what they actually do with any of the stuff. And that I pay for the extra recycling service seems really stupid, but 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 have neighbors in the neighborhood I live in now who just have just a trash can and my brain is like, what do you just keep your recycling? What do you recycle it yourself? My grandparents did that. They would keep the recycling and take it in themselves. They got one of those like can crushers where they just put the cans and. I love that. I feel like I would be better off just trying. Getting a smelter and melting all my aluminum cans down. And. Shmelting it. Shmelting it. Shmelt. And I could shmelt it into things. Dude, you could make your own custom heat sinks. Get some kind of mold. Well, you have 3D printers, right? So you could 3D print and then make a sand cast of your 3D print and then use the 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 two weeks ago that had a. Like, it's to make flow batteries and it's not about flow batteries. It's 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. 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 anode and 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 2,000 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 the. Is that safe to go that high? He had it outside, so it's perfectly fine. But it's just like 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. 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! Aluminum cans! Aluminum! I'm recycling! I'm helping the environment! There's only so many things you could smelt at home. You don't want to be. You can't be doing high temperature, complicated shit. Call me crazy here, but 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, it's dangerous because you might do something you're not expecting, but. Isn't it dangerous if you do it on purpose? Oh, it just becomes a plasma. What about that one YouTuber who created like a 20,000 watt microwave and it. Are you talking about William Osmond? No, Styro Pyro. Have you seen his 40, like 400 car battery experiment? Yes. That just literally melts and causes. The magnetic feels so strong, all the wires to the thing just He made a microwave that was unbelievable. He called it a microwave. Dude, I get nervous just plugging things in. into the wall. I wouldn't fuck with that. Yeah, well, he seems to not care about that, so maybe you should re-evaluate 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 Mark. First opportunity, Wade, you fucking bitch. That was an hour into recording. That was not the first opportunity. So, you're not worried about hosting the whole family for the holidays? Why would I be? Wayfair had everything I needed to get the house holiday ready. What if Mike brings his cheer fooled dogs? My tree has tons of five-star reviews telling me how sturdy it is. But what if everyone's plus one brings a plus one? We'll see how extendable this extendable table really is. And extra chairs are on the way. Okay. What if there's a blizzard and everyone has to sleep over? Ready to go with extra bedding and towels. From guest-ready essentials to holiday decor you can trust, Wayfair delivers. Can I just say, 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, it's understood how, like, the microwaves are generated, the waveguide putting them in there, the kind of. But, like, it's not clear how it heats things up or why aluminum becomes plasma. Like, I know that you said that, but, like, that's a thing, right? People are like, oh, we don't even know how it 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. 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 Distractible. Whatever intelligence level you think that represents. But 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 throw out where, like, ah, 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 emits 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 a hell of a good pizza roll if you do it right. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Are you, are you telling me you microwave pizza rolls? Telling me you do this to yourself on purpose? Yeah, wait, wait, what's wrong with that? I, I find a way to make them better there than I feel like they come out in the oven, yeah. Oh, pfft. Whoa. Wrong. Ah, it's a hell of, I know it's a hell of an accusation, 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 overcook 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, uh, pizza rolls since I've gotten an air fryer, but I bet an air fryer would do it really well. Dude, air fryer's the way. Air fryer's the truth when it comes to pizza rolls. It's, air fryer's basically just an oven with a fan. It's a convection oven, yeah. But it's small, so you can 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. 20 chicken wings would fit in my air fryer. You just have to have the right air fryer. I'm hungry, so I'm still haven't eaten lunch. Nuclear! We've really gone nuclear. We've gone microwave, we've gone King's 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, does the, 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 that radiation and shit, like, that sticks around a while. So, eventually you're gonna have a lot of waste. That's what I was gonna say, is, I'm not an expert, but 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 could keep putting it in 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 so you could 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 sabotage it or we do what we currently do which is shoot it all in the air like all the byproducts just up why can't we just launch our nuclear waste to the moon oh i thought you said sun you had a 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 its 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 we just put a big non-nuclear sign over america and that'll keep all the nuclear dust out of our atmosphere we just designate some parts of the world as being the ew zone and we'll put all of our ew there don't we already have that isn't it called the ew we could i had an idea you can say it i'll look i'll just take my points i don't know i forgot what it was is that how this episode works you just ask for points you didn't ask he told yeah yeah i'll just take them true all right well that's nuclear power everyone we've we've done it we've gone nuclear the waste we're just gonna launch it into a mountain and if you guys finally want housing we're gonna launch it into a mountain and we're gonna launch it into a mountain and we're closing 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 a volcano would just be a much cooler version of that wouldn't it oh 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 and that way it stays in there till it's all gone see this is why science works in teams you got the ideas all build and then you're 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 but 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 nuclear plasma in your blood no uh 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 a cult and the police came up they're like hey we want your photograph like sure that seems normal this reminds me of a story uh that i don't think i did 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 it 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 and it's not like clicking like a geiger counter it's beeping and he's just sweeping around looking around everyone's dead silent looking at this guy and he's just and he goes up 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 and to the people that are following him and it's like taking a couple steps at a 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 poland airport anybody know what that was it's actually just a system they use to keep order he gets all those people back to the back and they're all terrified and he's like oh it's okay we're just gonna look at your passport so that you could go we just use that to keep the crowds chilled out now everyone out there is 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 gotta confiscate this kept it in a baby papoose just like it's just cards all the way down 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 did you pay taxes on that it went through their scanner they let me through i guess i could have driven it across state lines it would have been fine too that's weird i hope someone tells us what that meant because now i'm curious i want to know what that was i'll take some points for mark's story thanks uh 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 yeah pretty much bounty bounty bounty oh what is that it's a picture of my dog in a distractible merch oh shit how do we confirm this is there or is it we look at the bounty what do you mean how do we confirm this 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 cheek number four on the may list of bounty additions recent persimmon 4148 get a picture of their dog in distractible merch shirt specifically shirt which he did do all right bounty confirmed well redeemed 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 was like fuck ah shit i completely forgot yeah now that you say it i had a hell of a way to bookend 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 and been like i want to play a game well that's why when we have this thing and people will sam don't put this in when we have this you know when it's ready we'll have this always on us 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 we go through the points bob you got points for like a dog biting a mailman nuclear pillow room peter slash not mark jab mark sized human not an 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 society's 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 bad idea you said plastic very quickly uh you met some very tall fans you had a tangential nuclear story you brought up the macro nuclear story you brought up the macro nuclear story you brought up the macro microwave stuff you asked for points a couple times you had a couple points for asking for them uh 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 7 mark and then mark got three for the bounty so you didn't really need to use that bounty here so it's 14 to 7 wait a minute whoa whoa three i thought regular bounties were one i thought we said two to three judge me i thought we said two to three i thought we said judges i only gave three i would say something that's as 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 i would agree that it's a two-pointer but i gave a point for it being the first ever bounty redeem oh jesus wow all right well so and i figured if he was going to use it on an episode he was already dominating might as well give him the point now for it right come on golf rules let's do this all right oh and i have four points for the bounty so i gave out 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 it's your own prejudice shining through you jerk oh great wheel we ask you how many spins will we do today two 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 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've ever had that precedence post 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 interrupts a bunch because it's kind of what i do yeah but we have a separate rule where if none of us can remember what the rule is we delete it but i think we know what that one is is that a respin or do you want to call that way because we probably interrupted each other but it wasn't aggressive this episode or anything it doesn't stand out i would say respin spin number one part two mention 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 honest my small talk included mandy i had it prepared we'll never know i'll probably forget it by the time we record the next one anyway come on golf rules come on okay it's minus minus one to current loser was 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 you know 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 up with six okay i beat wade 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 uh and then he had the bounty on top of it so yeah um bob 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 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 best of luck to you guys thank you so much for watching and i'll see you next time bye bye better competitor and person on today's episode uh mark our liege our 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 that is something you can just let happen you don't need to mention it 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 twins are gonna be ripped straight out of my eyes and i'm gonna rip it out from mark all the way to shania yeah your host speech uh both of them don't like the way i did points even though mark won with them uh 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 uh congratulations if you haven't already go follow bob at my skirt market markiplier don't follow me uh stay tuned for the next one where mark will host and we'll probably definitely not do the
