Movie master Mark metamorphosizes into director dude, celebrates trouncing the mouse, dips in DCC, and tantalizes with tinkering. From Wade blushing to dental dangers, yes, it's time for How Do You Pan? Now sit back and prepare to be distracted and enjoy the show. - Hello and welcome back for another episode. Of Distractible. I don't care who likes the show. That's not- - Oh, sorry, sorry. My phone's ringing. You know how it is these days. Oh, hey, Mr. Spielberg. How's it going? Yeah. Oh, hundred million. I'll guess I'll take it. Yep. That sounds pretty good. Yeah. - Is that how you negotiate? You just take the first number you're told? - What is, what is Spielberg paying you a million dollar, a hundred million dollars for? - Put Chris on the phone. Yeah. - Is this Columbus? - Chris Noly on the phone. - Oh, I'd really appreciate you guys not listening on my private phone calls. There's a lot of important things. Oh, 200 million. - I feel like Nolan is as short as Noly is. I feel like those are not, that's not a nickname. That's the same length. - I don't know how you're hearing any of this. This is a private call. - Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. I love you too. - Only 50 million? What a Shyamalan twist that was. - I'll take a billion. All right. Okay, thank you. - Sorry. - What a power move. Did you just kiss the hang up button on your cell phone? - Yeah, I don't expect you to understand my ways. The artistic genius going on in here has to be channeled out every once in a while. I just have to let it out like a pressure valve. - You have a hangover? Like what's with the sunglasses? - No, no, no, no, no. Listen, all I see in my eyes are stars. All of the, all the lights are blinding me all the time because I just have a vision that you cannot perceive. Bob definitely can't perceive, but I have a vision. - I can perceive, I can see. It doesn't have to be in my mind. I could perceive it if it was a real thing. - Mark knows more than we do. Maybe you can't see. - Do you have a vision board? Can I look at that? - Listen, the visions that I see in my waking days haunt me for even my sleeping dreams. So the nightmares that I experience on a waking basis are horrors beyond my comprehension. So I'm better than you. - Do you have a hat that says writer on it? 'Cause that was some writer shit right there. - Thank you, thank you, thank you. It actually, I will get one. - Was that GPT or scripted or how'd you come up with that? - Listen, these are just computers, so they're just like constant AI. Oh man, when that happens, oh man. I can't wait to adapt all that into my movies, am I? Am I telling you? I think that AI is offering a bit of a, you know, kind of, can I take this off now? - I guess, I mean, it's your bed, I don't know. - Who are we? We're just simply the plebs here to witness your, fuck. - So what I'm hearing is step one, iron lung, step two, fully AI generated movie. - Sure, whatever he said, yeah. - That's a point, that's an agreement point right there. - Wait, I also agree. - You get one agreement point, Wade. It's a lie point 'cause I'm lying, but you get it. - I'll take it, lies can be absolute. - Yeah, lies can be valid too. There's multiple lie landings on the wheel. We do not take advantage of our, we do not take advantage of the bits that we set up. - All these rules we have, I'm trying to remember them. Anyway, if you've never seen this show before, this is pretty much how it happens. Mark and Wade are here and there's no rules. There's nothing to explain. I always do an explanation like something is gonna happen. It's whatever, I'm the host. So did anyone have anything going on? - Oh, me, me, me, me, me. - Him. - I feel like I went somewhere this weekend. Oh, Disney has that new kind of like horror movie out. That was pretty good. Don't talk to me or stay away or whatever it was called. - Don't talk to me or stay away. - Just let Mark have the small talk, man. I don't have anything. - You know, actually, if they made a sequel to "Talk to Me," the other guys that made that one, and it was "Don't Talk to Me," it's fair. That's, I would be interested, you know, kind of interested. Because, oh no, I would spoil the movie if I talked about that. Nevermind, not gonna talk about that. - I am finally out of the final game. - Final stretch. - I thought that was part of like your bit with like. - Thought I had a hair in my mouth. - Like get it down. Like, what a weird. Man, directors are so creative in the way they talk. It's like, you remember that time in the movie where they. Oh, my favorite part. I'm out of the final stretch. Iron Lung is out. And it's, it was, oh, it was number one for so long. Like 99% of the weekend, the race was mmm. Much closer than people know. Much, much closer. They only got first number one movie at like 8:00 PM Pacific Standard Time, like last minute. So we had number one from Thursday all the way up to Sunday at 8:00 PM. And by the mirror's technicality, they won the weekend. Uh-huh, yeah, sure. And somehow it's Sunday at like noon Eastern, articles were coming out talking about how they were the number one movie. And Iron Lung disappeared. It disappeared from the charts completely for a while. There was some weird shit going on. Mark was so ashamed that a huge multi-million dollar advertisement movie overtook his privately distributed film that he deleted it from existence. That's the only explanation I could understand. Other than that, extremely fun. I had such a blast. I was, my phone screen time is ruined forever because of this weekend. It was enormous and amazing and I loved it. But I don't want to talk about that. You know what I do want to talk about? - Lenses? - Dungeon Crawler Carl. - Oh, wait. - It's so good. - It's so good? - I haven't yet. I bought the first book. - You haven't read it yet? - I'm gonna finish Runaway Jury first, but then I'm switching over to it. I started it last night, finished it before the podcast. It was that good. - Yes, nice. - I loved it. I can't wait to read the next one. And as soon as I was like, when I was looking at it, I was like, why are there seven books? And after I read the first one, I'm like, oh, I love it. Oh, I get it. Why there's seven. This makes perfect sense. But I'm like, oh yeah. - We're gonna be able to talk about all this now. - I know, I know. - Okay, I'm gonna start reading it. We'll have a book club. I don't want to stop with Dungeon Crawler Carl, but I have one more thing to add about Iron Lung before we move on from Iron Lung. I want to read you a review from my family who watched the movie with us. - All right, can't wait. - It was very memorable and the movie was great. I just wish Mark, like, I don't know, was happier. - You know what, I never thought about that before. is kind of a mopey bitch. - There's a bit more, but I don't want to spoil the movie. So I didn't want to read the rest of it. - Yeah, bleep that name. Bleep that, bleep all this. - Well, I don't think what I said was a spoiler. The setup's kind of like, you know. - That's very funny. That's not a spoiler. I think that's fine for what Wade said. Yeah, but. - Yeah, I won't read the rest of the review 'cause it is spoilery, but that made me laugh really hard. I was just like, that was great. I just wish Mark was happier. Smile more, you know. - Come on, sweetheart. You're pretty when you smile. Wade, you gotta read this book and then you gotta read all the rest of them. Holy shit. - Have you read all of them, Bob? - I am currently just at the beginning of book seven, "The Inevitable Ruin" and I'm ready for, the next one comes out March 25th, May 25th. It comes out this year. The next one comes out in mere months. - I should make it perfect timing to get that next book release. - You're gonna be done with all of them by like Thursday. Be like, I want to talk about the last book. and I'm like, I'm halfway through it, come on, man. - It's so good to have free time again. Like I've been going out to dinners. I've been having like, oh, I don't need to spend 12 hours a day working on this. Oh, that's so great. I mean, there's a little bit of post-release stuff that I got to do still, but it's just like, oh, it's perfectly manageable. Oh my God. And the pressure, the pressure that's, that's way off my shoulders. Oh, it's so good. But dungeon crawler, Carl. It's so good. When I read the first few pages and I don't think there's a spoiler because I'm not going to talk in specifics. When the concept started coming out, like what it was going to be, I was like, oh, this is going to be super hokey. Like this feels very like, okay, uh-huh. And then by the, by like the first quarter of the book, I was like, oh, I just, I got to keep reading this. No, someone described like the, the overall concept to me before I read it. And they were like this. And then at the, at the start of the book, this happens. And then they, and then it's like a dungeon crawler thing. And I was like, that sounds awful. Yeah. That sounds like the. That sounds like the cheesiest shit. I would, I'll try it. Not going to lie. That's why I started runaway jury before I started reading it. It was like, I'll give it a shot. But like, yeah, it sounds like a weird concept. I'm not doing it anymore, but I did read the first book almost the same way that you did Mark. I think I read, I finished the first book within 48 hours of starting it. You're not the person I need to tell this to because you, you'd appreciate it. A couple of the books, I would say three and four, especially stay invested because the, the big, when you come back around to the beginning of the next book, you're going to read the next book. It slows down a lot and it's kind of like, oh no, it stays good. Just keep, don't worry about it. Stay invested. There's just a briefest moments where it's like, eh, it's a little slow, but I've got an example of how I can plow through a book series. There was this Warhammer series that was called the war of the beast. And it's like nine books and these are thick books and it started off pretty good. And then it's eight books of bad. And I was like, it'll get better on the next one. I bet. I bet. I bet. Next one. Okay. It'll get better by the day. I read every one of them. And by the end of it, I was just like, that was the biggest fucking waste of time. I was really hoping for your sake. It got better. No, no, but these books actually aren't that long compared to those at least. So it's like, it's like the, I feel like it would be digestible even if it was a little slow. So that's so exciting. I'll dive in. Maybe I'll try to start it this week. I will say I don't. It's very time consuming. I don't know if you have time for it and you're just starting. So I don't know if you're even up for it. The audio books in their own right are so worth listening to. I'm currently re listening to the first book on audio book while I'm reading the seventh book because the performance, the way they do the audio book and the voices and the it's one dude, except for a couple rare occasions, it's one guy performing it is very good. He's fantastic. It's awesome. He's really worth it for its own production value and its own version of all the parts of the book and stuff. But, but you're just getting into it. So that's not really a pressing issue. How long have you owned that book that you haven't read Wade? Oh, a week, week and a half. I just bought it. Okay. Cause I remember you telling me about that, but I have a memory of it being way longer ago. I mean, I guess maybe at this point it was closer to two weeks, but it's not been that long. We went out for a Molly's birthday and went to like a couple of bookstores and I saw they didn't have, they had like the first one and like the fifth one. So I just grabbed the first one. Yeah. Yeah. And I figured if I liked it, I'd buy the other ones either online or find another bookstore. So we went to like a, uh, not like a chain bookstore, it was like a local bookstore. So they didn't have a ton of books, but they did have that one on display and I was like, yeah, I'll grab that. I also have no rumblings of if it's happening yet, but apparently Seth McFarland's production company owns the rights to do a TV series of dungeon crawler. Carl. I have low hopes that it will actually be good if that ever comes to fruition, but if it is good. Hey Peter, the Carl's here. I feel like it could be. It could be a little too hokey if they do it, you know, the wrong way with a TV production. It's a, but I can see it. I could see it if they could really lean into it hard, you know, I can't wait to see the same vision. I will start it. I did not have my bingo card. Mark having time to read a book before me. Ah, I got free time. I can't remember the last time Mark had free time. I know. I think I had a full head of hair in my mouth. All right. So this episode is going to be awesome. It's going to be out. The next project that Mark is getting into, that's going to be the next seven years of his life. Oh God. He's going to buy the rights to dungeon crawler Carl from Seth MacFarlane. Seth baby. Sethy Mac. God, I remember. Wait, I think I got a phone call from someone this weekend that someone called me some like name like that. I can't remember if it was a slugger or champ or hero or like there's the man of the hour or some shit like that. Is this Carl divider? Carl divider. We love your stuff. Love your channel. I get it. I get that joke. I get that joke. Yeah. Well, anyway, that's very exciting for me personally. I would point I used the book was sitting like right here previously, but I lent it to someone so that they have to read it and they can get into it too, because that's how I feel about it. I should buy the paper version. I should. Yeah. How'd you read it? Did you ebook? Yeah. I've always read books on my phone. I've done that for years now. So I'm used to it. I've read all of them on my, I have a Kindle and I read them on that, but I want to buy hard hardcover copies of all the books because they're dope. I got a neck light that like wraps around your neck and has like two little lights on it. And so I can read in the dark. Okay. Grandpa. No, no, no. It's cool. It's cool. I like that. That's great. Grandpa's could be cool. I wasn't implying. It wasn't cool. It's just, I might listen. I look at the part. I thought I'd start acting the part. I sit in my recliner and I fall asleep, wake up and yell at the kids in my yard. Then I read a book a little bit, you know, go and eat my mashed potatoes and IV. You know, grandpa. Uh-huh. Sure. Well, I'm looking at the release cadence of these books that he made of Dungeon Crawler Carl. Is he like a super fast writer or this is weird on Amazon. How it's listed. Like book two, book one was like October 2nd of 2020. Then book two was January 6th of 21. Then book three was April. Then book four was July. Is this, is that how fast he's writing? I don't actually know, but I do think that that's generally correct. So I'm, I'm not like a lower expert on this, but Matt did him in the writer of these books originally published book one of Dungeon Crawler Carl as like a fan fiction is not the right word, but like he self published it online. It was not like a release or anything. And it got such a cult following that it grew and he got support and it, the subsequent, it was a re then it was released as like a real title by like a publishing company or something. The whole story of how Dungeon Crawler Carl has gotten to where it is today as a very like grassroots success because he did it himself that led to getting the books. And so I think he kind of does crank them out, but I don't actually know if that's completely accurate or if that's reflecting the weird timeline because he got like picked up by a publisher or something. He's trying to keep pace with George RR Martin. He's not messing around, man. Also, he might just like be writing this as one long thing. And so, you know, maybe he's writing this as one long thing. And so, you know, maybe he started writing it. And by the time book one came out, he was already substantially done with the next, you know, If he had a full idea of where it was going to go. Yeah. Yeah. It could be. Yeah. And some people do crank. And I, I'd say like his writing, the books are slightly shorter. You know, his writing is good. I think it's, I, I, I'm not disparaging in any way, his, his writing, it paints a very clear picture, but there's, I've, I didn't come across any lines of like descriptive language that was just like, oh, you know, I've read in some books before where I see just like the greatest sentence I've ever read in my life. And I'm just like, holy shit. And I haven't seen that in this book, but it's an, it's an extremely clear picture. So he's writing in a way that could explain like the fast cadence and he's not stopping and saying, he needs to make all this flowery language. I'm not saying that makes a better book. It's a great book otherwise, because it paints the clearest picture in the whole setting is what's great. I think simple reads are better books, flowery language books. Sometimes I'm just too tired. It's like, dude, I don't feel like trying to figure out what this eight syllable word means. Come on. We don't need it. Just say like the book. And I'm totally like, that's not the perfect way to write a book. I'm just trying to explain that. Like, it makes sense that he's cranking these out faster because you're writing efficiently and descriptively. And that's, that's a good way to do it, especially for a book like this. I don't need an analogy. Every paragraph. I would say like project hail Mary kind of walked the line because it was a very simply written, but it covered a bunch of concepts and a bunch of it was like, you know, fake sciencey shit, but like, it still was like, okay, I'm trying to keep track of all these terms and sciencey stuff and math stuff. But like it did a good job of carrying me. Like I, I stayed hooked. I love that book. That was a great book. I think you should keep dungeon crawler Carl high on your list, but I will say if you like project hail Mary, and if you haven't read the Martian, the Martian is very worth reading. You should read Artemis by Andy where it's a sci-fi it's a moon base setting. The main character is awesome. The whole thing. It's very like heisty. It's got like a heist shenanigans aspect to it. Yeah. Awesome. Totally. Totally worth reading. Love that book. I actually haven't read project hail Mary yet, but I know that I like Andy. Weird. Is it weird that I feel like in this stage of our lives, like we're talking about books and stuff now, but I feel like book reading. Was like the D and D of the last 20 years where it's like, you read books, you nerd. And now it's like, I love books. I want to talk about books some more. I want to read more books. I feel I'm okay. Say that I like books. I, I, they books are great. I love books. I hadn't read in so long. And then last year I read the entire animal series in like a month and then picked up some of the John. Grisham books and stuff. And then Molly got me the, to read her project hail Mary and it's like, okay. And now, now I've got the dungeon crawler coral series to start up. That's a hard thing to say quickly. You're gonna love it. guarantee it i finally bought it so i'm excited to read it i for me reading was just ruined my law school i've thousands and thousands of pages of cases will do that to you but it's fun to read for fun and things that aren't the scarlet letter did its best to destroy my love of anything especially letters you can't have a book without letters unless it's a picture book fucking red letters not for me i used to read playboy for the articles then i read scarlet letter it's like well now i gotta get it for the pictures i was on reddit sorry it's completely unrelated and i came across like you know a caption of a tweet it's got like 100k likes as my face i'm like okay then i read it like youtube remarkable i broke down in tears after a self finance horror movie iron lung opened to 23 at the worldwide box office quote fuck dude this movie got so much money i'm so fucked oh man i love that video please with audience please just one of you buy one ticket double my

are too good to be true good to let go so i have titled this segment how do you pan man how do we pan beloved children's character peter pan never ages stays a child forever it's full of whimsy and fun look at me i don't i i just want to talk about what what like childish things do you hold on to do you think you're going to do for the rest of your life and i have some examples to start out with this but i have some examples to start out with this but i have some examples to start out with this but i episode whatever but like for me like lunchables craft mac and cheese i understand that they are not high quality food products i'm with you bob makes me like them zero percent less they are forever delicious and some of my favorites i will never not try and make a basket into a trash can no matter how inappropriate the scenario may be and how much of an adult i may be my arms and legs do not hang over the edge of the bed so that the sleep demons can't get me yeah that's true yeah other thing is remote control stuff i know it's going to be disappointing i know it's not going to fly very well i know it's a piece of shit but a 20 remote control helicopter at a kiosk at the mall is never not going to be a thing i immediately want i see that and i'm like oh man i could totally afford that now that i've grown and i have a credit card how could i not buy this helicopter that will definitely fill all my dreams and be perfect and amazing but yeah do you guys have anything who's going first the lion is mark and the lady is wade because he's bald bald lady wait you're going first and there's a few different ways i could go with this uh i'm going to start with playing pretend i don't just go around like playing pretend around the house like we did as kids but like dnd you know playing a character and stuff like that i really enjoy going around doing voices i still talk to myself and try to do different voices like i'll hear a so like i'll be sitting on the toilet just like toilet paper toilet paper toilet paper it's the same three voices every time well no no there's different things i'll have conversations i did um whitney houston's dolly parton's i will always love you as different characters literally just switching like they'll pass between because you can't hold a notice smiegel i did that once i couldn't talk for like three days sure sure i had like mickey kermit christopher walken and low or probably someone else doing that song like passing it off to one another that kind of like role-playing stuff like especially like a dnd campaign or something i find it fun to do voices and characters and things and it was something i liked doing as a kid i still really enjoy doing now it's just it's fun to tap into that and like trying to be someone else and giving them their own even if it's not even like an original character doesn't have to be something like that but like my fucking stupid little cigar prop i keep here put in my mouth my character from dnd damn shun carried a big gatling gun just damn shun we're gonna go around today kill some stormtroopers it's fun i don't know it's fun to do yeah i think i think that people in general just still want to play pretend um because we all have imaginations but now we're all adults and we can't because it's it's not what adults should do look at us now what what's a movie besides just a big old thing of pretend you know people love pretend and we've all made so many movies together hey we made some things together calling it making them together is maybe generous to wade and i but we were there together i couldn't make it without you getting to be wog will be one of the highlights of my life that'll be one of the things i look most fondly upon i really enjoyed that just wait till in space 2 comes out mark delete that editors delete don't spoil that you're giving it away my idea i bought the rights to that oh god did you that's right mark i own you now see he just made a huge pile of money and lit it on fire it was like i own that now i buy that from the universe no seriously that was a good i couldn't see anything in that costume but i absolutely love doing it anyway next time we'll give you some more technology in there so you have a camera helped with a performance mark so my my childhood thing actually that i do still to this day is something that i i i cultivated again because i was building the render farm and i know that sounds weird but my dad always had computers every ever since i was a kid and so for a very long time i was the type that was like he got computer magazines he got like the microcenter mall like advertisement thing and so i was like i'm gonna do this i'm gonna do this i'm gonna do this i'm gonna do this so i would after he was done with that i would go through and look like oh yes i'll take a thousand dollar hard drive 30 you know this five-year-old me just like oh yeah a 30 megabyte hard drive whoa oh a 10 pack of floppies for only 29.99 well i'll take two you know so now that i'm i'm i'm back in building render farm and i'm done with the movie now so i i now i'm just like what computer can i upgrade what means an upgrade like i caught a whiff that there were new intel processors coming out and it's like oh yeah all right i probably need that i probably i probably could do with an upgrade to my main computer i can build another one you want to build another one so it's just like i i just desperate desperately looking around for anything that i can build and and anything that i can tinker because it's just like it's just tinkering with legos but with expensive computer equipment you are a great candidate for a hobby i've been trying to teach myself about and i'm too stupid apparently to do very well have you looked into home lab stuff i was on the home lab subreddit they were making fun of my render farm oh they were burning your red of your friend well some of them were just like no wait actually this is what this subreddit is all about really shitty setups this guy's you can't make fun of him and meanwhile he's saying that i'm like oh you don't look i'm still getting hit here man seriously though the people on the on the home lab subreddit who are like scoffing at people who scrabble things together and have janky what is a home lab if it's not supposed to be some janky shit where you're like i have these weird random components let me see what i can make with them it's great and the people who are chill about it are cool the people who are on reddit about it are not that janky shit held the number one movie for 71 and a half out of 72 hours what i will say is uh about that some people were looking at all the mac studios and was like oh clearly that's not a deal i'll tell you something about mac even if you don't like it that shit holds its resale value like crazy and you better believe i'm gonna sell those things now that i'm done with the movie so i only got them for this for this thing so i cannot fucking believe how expensive like an m1 mac mini still is like you'd think like oh that's really old but it's an apple silicon chip and but it's like oh that's like a five-year-old compact computer like 300 400 500 bucks depending on the specs and what it's like what the fuck you might as well just buy new stuff god damn that's the crazy thing is because i bought this i mean it was still the ai craze but then people discovered that hey these macs are actually really good for ai bullshit and i'm not using it for that i'm using it for efficient rendering but the resale value i might make money on these i'm gonna make money on some mac studios it's crazy so did i tell you all what i spent on my new computer didn't you say it was like thirty thousand dollars or something yeah you you spent a hundred and twenty thousand dollars on it that's what you told us well okay it's not going to sound expensive after i compare it to those numbers no uh it was 10 grand it was 10 grand 10 grand yeah if you want a really good computer nowadays yeah that seems right that was with the uh 5090 16 terabytes of hard drive space I didn't even get the maximum RAM I got two 4s and an 8 terabyte oh I thought you said 60 and I was like okay I only got 64 gigabytes of RAM too because RAM was crazy expensive that's some mark level shit right there yeah but uh I was looking at the camera I bought I got a new camera that's not here yet but it comes in tomorrow was the same exact price brand new as whenever I got this camera brand new so 10 years later the camera price for brand new nice camera was like the same 10 years later for computer like 5 or 6 times the price it is unbelievably stupid I don't know if there's actually a shortage there might be or if this is just inflation of the price but RAM shot up like 4 times it's normal price sometimes more and now storage like even an 8 terabyte SSD which I was getting plenty of those for my movie to shuttle files around I had 8 terabyte NVMEs all the time those were like 800 bucks I was looking at it I was like that's so expensive okay alright GPU RAM and hard drive was like 90% of the cost now that 8 terabyte was up to $3,200 the same one that I bought went from 800 to 3200 literally jumped up 4x and I'm like that seems arbitrary I'll just keep writing my stuff down on paper I guess god damn 1 1 0 1 Mark sitting in his bathroom render farm like 1 0 0 oh shit the ebay servers I got for a great deal were like punch card from the 70 servers like alright like John Wick if they go to a call center to call in the numbers so they can punch them in oh god I love John Wick's weirdly old tech that makes no sense for their assassin distribution room I don't know what that's about but I love it I love the stuff it makes perfect sense probably I don't know how it makes sense but I'm sure it does I would say that's on my list too I think I've mentioned this before but I still I think one of the few panic attacks I've ever had was when I got my first smartphone and this is really nerdy but I just remember it was a T-Mobile G1 it was the first Android phone that ever sold commercially at least in the US I think it was and I'm like I got it and I got I opened it my parents got it for me for my birthday it was a huge fucking deal and I in the car on the way to my birthday lunch I was sitting there like why can't I breathe I'm gonna pass out and I didn't understand what was happening I fucking had a panic attack because I was holding a piece of technology that was so fucking cool I hadn't even used it yet I was just sitting there looking at it just like that's legit I wouldn't I don't know if that's childish for me cause I didn't really get into computers until I was in like maybe middle school at the earliest but it'll never not be exciting Wade? You touched on this I have to go there diet diet I mean I eat a lot more than I used to like everyone's like boy you're such a picky eater which is true but like I would not have eaten a lot of um uh like the Indian food uh Thai food stuff like that that I eat now seafood I would not have touched a lot of whenever I was younger so I do eat a lot more but some of my staple things are still like dude I really want some pizza rolls today I would kill for a PB&J we still have the house stocked with spaghettios everyone that I know hates them except for me hates them? I love them spaghettios and a can of ravioli together in the same pot plain spaghettios or spaghettios with meatballs? I'm plain spaghettios oh come on there's nothing wrong with that but I definitely prefer meatballs I understand I get it you need the protein there's like no nutrition there otherwise I've had fancy like mac and cheese and I'm like ugh I kinda just want Kraft or Velveeta like give me the shells dude Velveeta and shells I lived on that through college a lot when I had money I would always buy in the Kroger brand shells with melty cheese that was definitely not Velveeta cause that was the good stuff I don't do like the dino nuggets a lot of people have never had them but like I do like a Tyson honey breast chicken tender or something that I really like sounds like some adult shit to me I don't know about that I ate it when I was younger and I liked it but I don't know I just like I'll eat more and there's times where I'm like man I really want some like curry and chicken or whatever and rice today I would not have said that as a kid but there are definitely days where it's like I want chicken tendies and mac and cheese Wadey want chicken tendies yeah so diet and dude there's still times where it's like ugh every time I eat like gushers or whatever I feel like crap but like Wadey wants some gushers today give me some gushers give me a fruit roll up like nah that's legit yeah my body does not like it whenever I give in to those kid cravings I still have those kid cravings I think last night it was literally last night I was laying in bed I was hungry I was like man I kinda want some cereal oh some Lucky Charms would go hard right now definitely still have that kid diet that I want and then body regret in the same vein I've got a couple things cause like to touch on the diet is like I have narrowed it down you guys remember how I would often get low blood sugar and I would just start to be ah sorry guys I need to pass out for a little bit and I would just like get super low energy and like I need to breathe sweating and like all that kind of stuff do you remember that I don't get that anymore because I narrowed it down to what it is it's dextrose right it's it's specifically dextrose any candy that has dextrose in it if I eat too much of that especially on an empty stomach it will cause that to happen and I don't oh and you would pound some like some of those sour candies the sweet tarts shock tarts and a lot of those types of candies the chalky ones they all have dextrose right oh that explains a lot cause exactly so it was super bad for me and then ever since I've cut that out of my life I've never I haven't had that happen in years right so but I still every once in a while I'm like this is bad for me but I'll see a sweet tart or I'll see like a roll of smarties US smarties not UK smarties and I'm just like oh man and like at the sound mix they had these giant smarties and I was like I can't have you why can't I quit you and I'm just like my childish habit that I still do to this day is in two places I do the same thing open the fridge close the fridge go to the pantry go back to the fridge open it again stare in it and as a kid my dad would just get so mad cause I'd be leaving the fridge wide open while I'm just standing there and now it's worse because I usually have my phone in my hand and I'm just like and I'll look at my phone while I'm standing with the fridge open close it go to the pantry stand in the pantry looking at my phone and then I'll just be like I turn into a zombie when it's like I'm hungry I do not prepare myself meals I guess that's more what it is like I I'm a scrounger I will always scrounge I will never stop scrounging I've done it since I was a kid and I will do it until I'm dead I guess I can't do fixed meals dude doordash is the same way for me like it's not opening the fridge but like you have a million options at your fingertips I'm like there's nothing to eat while browsing literally every type of food basically in existence there's no food on this app literally everything is probably available and I'm just I open it scan through close it open it search for a specific type of food find it like no close it not the fridge but very similar vein it's just I don't know what program in us is like yeah our ancestors used to just go club the first bat they saw and eat it now we're like we could have anything no why bats specifically how would no it's like the hardest thing to club I'm like what no I'm not saying like anything against bats but I'm like if I had to be like damn ancestors there's there's a raccoon right there I didn't know man bats because I don't know you showing your torchlight the bats would fly near it and you club them oh yeah yeah yeah that's what bats do yeah yeah sure they like moths they echolocate toward flames you didn't know that yep that's what they do the echoes bounce right off of the flame actually they stand outside the cave they wait till sunset and as soon as they come out they go ah ah ah ah just wave it in the air and they whatever falls down they hold their mouth open at least my ancestors did ancestors did I don't know if yours did oh they had to that's how we're still here I see one path it's that path I did it I did a two paths thing this weekend I couldn't remember why but it was like I think it was on one of the live streams where I was like I see two paths and I don't know if anyone got the reference but I would've I don't even remember what it's from I just know it's from something we did together it was a escape room episode or it might have been it might have been the escape thing that either you or Mandy made where it's like so it would constantly be like I see two paths I remember I I can't remember if it was related to the episode or not it was just one of those bits that stuck or like that episode there's so many scenarios where you could see a number of paths we were so much funnier back then yeah we've changed one of us for the better two of us for the worse I'll let you decide whose is which I claim worse you claim worse too I don't know I just said dibs alright Mark gets one of those two better or worse I'll get I'll take the other one alright that's decided and Wade you're out woohoo I'm free does anyone have anything else that they desperately wanted to get in I oh I did have one that I wanted to say that I I still like playground rides I'm like way too big for almost all of them but when you find a swing that's like a swing that can accommodate an adult sized person god is that so fucking good man I can't use them man I get sick can't you you get sick on swings yeah like when I was young I was terrified of roller coasters so I would do like the teacup or like scrambled egg style rides that would spin you and then I loved sitting on a swing and just going back and forth For some reason, the spinny stuff and swings do the same thing to me. they both just make me like motion sick i don't know why because i absolutely love the feeling of a swing but i three or four like bouts and i start to feel like that nausea creeping it's really sad because i want to enjoy the swing sometimes you get older you lose the ability to do stuff but man swings and merry-go-rounds go hard modern merry-go-rounds bro those are some things there's some crazy shit out there in the world of merry-go-rounds tell you what there's in ground incorporated ones where it's just like a turntable at ground level there's ones where it's like a whole gazebo that spins that you can like ride on there's one where it's like a climbing jungle gym and it spins and that one's got some crazy ass bearings the one by our house it'll go fast too fast don't tell don't ask me how i know how do you know i said don't ask i'm sorry sorry puzzles man i loved putting together jigsaw puzzles as a kid i don't do jigsaw puzzles anymore i wish i i probably would if i had them but i still have found that i actually really like puzzles i think that's why blueprints connected with me so much was i liked the puzzle aspect i still like building legos it's like a similar feel to putting a puzzle together there's something i just really enjoy about that aspect of things i don't know what it was as a kid my grandparents would do puzzles like they i guess to get my brain going or something they were like this will be something good and productive for him so i did a bunch of puzzles by the time i was like six or seven i was working on like thousand piece or whatever puzzles with my grandparents but there's a part of my brain that still has always enjoyed that and like like i said to this day blueprints unlocked that feeling in me for the first time in probably like decades i know it is a kid's thing but i also feel like it's very adult to be into 20 000 piece jigsaw puzzles maybe it is an adult thing but like for me it was my kid experience yeah that's fair maybe that was unique to me as a kid because maybe not every kid did puzzles but like i had you know tiny little like six piece puzzles as a kid like the blocky ones that you could put in your mouth and not destroy like wooden puzzles and then like as i got older you know you got fancier ones there were like the three that blew my mind the first 3d puzzle where you like built a little cottage it was like it's a puzzle but like up those were cool i didn't like them for the puzzle aspect but i thought they were very impressive i thought those were crazy yeah the puzzle aspect was not nearly as fun because they're kind of fucking annoying to put together but like the end product was really cool no that's fair um but yeah the puzzly stuff i enjoyed as a kid did you have one mark you look pregnant with thought oh man i'm i'm struggling to come up with another one because i'm just so mature and i'm so well developed and well-rounded as an individual and i have no no habits that i've carried over from childhood hey that's allowed you don't have to be an idiot like us were you like a thumb sucker still come on tell us i buy my nails that's definitely one i still i still buy my nails i feel like a lot of adults do that i don't it's really bad for your teeth to do that we gotta stop well they say that but i'm like our teeth are pretty good the only thing i've destroyed my teeth from is takis and sour candy i know what i've killed my teeth with i chipped mine on candy my front tooth on candy oh well we gotta get stronger teeth better chompers yeah take care of your teeth brush brush your teeth that's that's a habit that i've stuck from childhood that has stuck with me hard i may not floss every day like i probably should but i brush for that full two minutes every night and often i don't do it twice a day regularly but every night before i go to bed if i don't brush my teeth i i it hasn't happened right like i always find a way to if i don't have a toothbrush it's like for two minutes dental problems are not a problem for me i don't have a toothbrush i don't have a toothbrush i don't have a toothbrush i don't have a toothbrush i don't have a toothbrush dental problems are not a problem for me i don't have a toothbrush i don't have a toothbrush i don't have a toothbrush not good dental problems are always terrible even if it's only something that's minor sucks turns out you need your mouth to eat and drink things and that's pretty crucial brush your backs too because you don't want spine problems that's how you stop spine problems right i wish yeah brush your back yeah i i will say i've carried over my childhood teeth brushing habits um in a bad way where i do brush my teeth but within the first 10 seconds i get it out and i'm like and in 10 seconds i'm like oh my god am i done yet fuck jesus this is so boring and it's like i'm i'm the parent and the child because i'm like no you have to do the whole time like i don't want to do the whole time i don't care if i don't have any you know you you'll care when you start losing your teeth but by the time i'm done having the internal discussion about it usually it's been about two minutes and then i'm just done brushing my teeth but i fucking hate it i don't care for the minty taste of toothpaste so my my problem with brushing is i hate that minty taste and it lingering forever afterward well i'm pretty sure they sell ass flavored toothpaste if you want it i don't know that i'd want that one i just feel like the same thing to me i you feel like ass is the same flavor as mint wait hold on let's break this down hold on back up what a properly prepared ass could be minty yeah that's not what i was talking about yeah me either oh good okay he's got that weird thing where mint you know cilantro tastes like soap to some people mint tastes like ass but he likes it you know so okay whenever you're doing like bean boozled and you get the mint flavor it's like oh thank god even though the technically the other one's better on that one because it's like a blueberry or something but the blue bean boozled is the way to go but like brushing your teeth i don't know just maybe because as a kid i didn't like it or something but like i to this day i don't like i don't think mint is a terrible flavor i just don't like it if that makes sense they literally do sell like other flavors of toothpaste like some of them are for kids and whatever but like you you could get something that's not so minty probably you get like a mellow like a chill toothpaste that doesn't it's not gross for you i'm sure that you do that i just stick with the tried and true you know it's like i just deal with it i don't like it but i deal with it but you buy it i mean maybe you don't physically pick it out the store maybe molly buys it for you guys we go grocery shopping or something but like it's you could probably ask her about that and if you know what whatever brush your teeth with ass toothpaste as much as you want that's fine yeah that's a good one though mark what a great message to end on brush your teeth everybody and probably floss but honestly i don't know if there's any science supporting the importance of flossing dentists everywhere ripping their hair out after this episode yeah but it's so annoying and then blood just and i know if you keep doing it that won't happen but the one time a year i floss teeth pop out i'm bleeding everywhere it's awful i just flossing's obviously so bad for my mouth i just pretend it's a rocky balboa movie and i just won the fight i actually take a popcorn bucket into the bathroom i fill it back up anyway i don't know um great great ending message mark

my deathbed when we began and not to be over dramatic but i was probably legally dead for at least a hundredth of a second but i'm still here and honestly that is a win in and of itself the epitome of standing on the third rung of the final standings and biting my gold medal popping the champagne and kissing the lady who gave me the medal that's me today baby i competed i was here pretty sure it's bronze and also third place is pretty good out of a lot of competitors so i think it's really context dependent but you are here wade you did survive mark victory speech i have freedom which means
