How Do You Pan?

Good evening, gentle listeners or watchers and welcome to Distractable, the episode. Box office bob, burst bubbles, bonds with the boys over books, then gets them to embrace their inner child, wins some wavy, spits reviews, adores RPG, kidney nibbles and puzzles. Movie master Mark metamorphicises into director dude, celebrates trouncing the mouse, dips in DCC and tantalises with tinkering, from wade blushing to dental dangers. Yeah, 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 Distractable. 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, 100 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 Spielberg paying you a million dollar, $100 million for? Put Chris on the phone, yeah. Chris Columbus? Chris Noley 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 Noley as 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 shamanlon twist that was. I'll take a billion. All right, okay, thank you. Sorry. 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. Everyone's 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 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? Because 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 it? I said, these are just computers. Oh, man, when that happens, oh, man. I can't wait to adapt all that into my movies, am I, am I done here? I think 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 group. So what, what I'm hearing is step one, iron lung, step two, fully AI-generated movie. Sure, whatever he said. Yeah. Oh, 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 because 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 ever seen this show before, this is pretty much how it happens. Mark and Wade are here and it's, there's no rules. There's nothing to explain. I always do an explanation like something is going to happen. It's, 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, uh, 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. It was good. I'll just let Mark have this small talk, man. I don't have anything. You know, actually, if they made a sequel to talk to me, uh, the, the other guys that made that one and it was don't talk to me. It's fair. That's, I would, I would be interested, you know? Okay, this is because, oh, no, I would spoil the movie if I talked about that. Never mind. I'm not going to talk about that. I am finally out of the final stretch. I thought that was part of like your bit with, like, I had a hair in my mouth. Like, I'm like, put a weird, man, directors are so creative in their way they talk. It's like, you remember that time of the movie where they, oh, my favorite part. I, I'm out of the final stretch. Iron Long is out and it's, it was, oh, it was number one for so long. Like 99% of the weekend, the race was much closer than people know, much, much closer. They only got first number one movie at like 8 p.m. Pacific Standard Time, like last minute. So we add number one from Thursday all the way up to Sunday at 8 p.m. and by the mirror's technicality, they won the weekend. Uh-huh. And somehow at Sunday at like new and eastern articles were coming out talking about how they were the number one movie. And Iron Long disappeared from the charts completely for a while. There was some weird shit going on. Mark was so ashamed that a huge multimillion 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? It lenses dungeon crawler Carl. 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've got to finish running my jury first, but I'm switching over to it. I started it last night finished it before the podcast. It was that good. It's 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 time, I'm like, oh, I get it. Why there's seven. This makes perfect sense. But I'm like, oh yeah, we're going to be able to talk about all this now. I know. I know. Okay, I'm going to start reading it. We'll have a book club. I don't want to I don't want to talk stuff the dungeon crawler Carl, but I have one more thing to add about Iron Long before we move on to Iron Long. I want to read you a review from my family who watched it movie with us. All right, can we? 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. This is kind of a mopey bitch. There's a bit more about it or to spoil the movie. So I didn't want to read the rest of it. Yeah, believe that name. Believe all this. Well, I don't think what I said was a spoiler. The set-ups 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 because it is spoiler. But that made me laugh really hard. I was just like, I was great. I wish Mark was happy. I just got to smile more, you know. Come on, sweetheart. You pretty well, you smile. Wade, you got to read this book and then you got to 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 May, 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 released. You're going to be done with all of them by like Thursday. You're 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 every time again. Like, I've been going out to dinners. I've been having like, oh, I don't need to spend 12 hours today working on this. Oh, that's so great. Oh, 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 this is 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 got to keep reading this. No, someone described like the overall concept to me before I read it. And they're like, this and then 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. That sounds like the cheesiest shit I would. I'll try it. Not going to lie. That's why I started to run away to read before I started reading it. It's 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 tell us to because you, you'd appreciate it. A couple of the books, I would say three and four, especially stay invested because the big, when you come back around to the beginning of the next book, it slows down a lot. And it's kind of like, um, No, it stays good. Just keep, don't worry about it. Stay invested. There's just a briefest moments where it's like, 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 like, that was the biggest fucking waste of time I've ever lived in my wife. 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, 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. 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. It's very good. It's fantastic. It's awesome. It's totally worth it for its own production value and its own version of all the parts of the book and stuff, 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 with? - Oh, a week we can have. 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 Molly's birthday and went to like a couple of books to where it's nice. So they didn't have, they had like the first one and like the fifth one. So I just grabbed the first one. 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, 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. I was like, yeah, I'll grab that. - Also, I have no rumblings of if it's happening yet, but apparently Seth McFarlane'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. - I paid the carls here. - I feel like it could be a little too hokey if they do it, you know, the wrong way with a TV production. It's, but I can see it. I can 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 big old car. 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. - All right. I'm just gonna be out the next project that Mark is getting into that's gonna be the next seven years of his life. - Oh God. - He's going to buy the rights of the Dungeon Crawler Carl from Seth McFarlane. - Seth, baby. - Sethy Mack. - God, I remember, wait. I think I got a phone call from some of this weekend. The someone called me some like name like that. I can't remember if it was a slugger or a champ or hero. Or like there's the man or some shit like this. Is this carl divider? Carl divider, we love your stuff. Love your channel. - Ah, I get it. I get that joke. I get that joke. - Well anyway, that's very exciting for me personally. I would point, 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. 'Cause that's how I feel about it. - I should buy the paper version, I should. - Yeah, how'd you read it? Did you eat book? - Yeah, I've always read books on my phone. I've done that for years now, so I'm used to it. - That's, I've read all of them on my, I have a Kindle. I read them on that, but I want to buy hard, hardcover copies of all the books 'cause they're dope. - I got a necklite and like wraps on 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 blind, 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? Don't eat my mashed potatoes and IV, you know? - Grandpa. - Sure. - Well, I'm looking at the release cadence of these books that he made of Dundin 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 that how fast he's writing? - I don't actually know, but I do think that that's generally correct. So I'm not like a lower expert on this, but Matt did them in the writer of these books, originally published book one of Dundin Crawler Carl as like a fan fiction, it's 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 the subsequent, then it was released as like a real title by like a publishing company or something like. The whole story of how Dundin Crawler Carl has gotten to where it is today is very like grassroots success because he did it himself that led to getting the books and so I think he kind of does crank him 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 publisher or something. - He's trying to keep pace with George R.R. 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 started writing it and by the time book one came out, he was already substantially done with the next, you know. - If you had a full idea of where it was gonna go, yeah, it could be. And some people do crank and I'd say like his writing, the books are a slightly shorter, you know, his writing is good. I think it's, I'm not dispersion in any way, his writing, it paints a very clear picture but there's, 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 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 flower 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. Flower language books, sometimes I'm just too tired. It's like, I don't feel like trying to figure out what this eight syllable word means. Like, 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 he's writing efficiently and descriptively and 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 Hill Mary kind of walked the line 'cause it was a very simply written but it covered a bunch of concepts and a bunch of it was like 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 stayed hooked. I love that book. That was a great book. - I think you should keep Dungeon and Crawler Karl high on your list but I will say if you like Project Hill Mary and if you haven't read the Martian, the Martian is very worth reading. You should read Artemis by Andy Weir. 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. - Also totally worth reading, love that book. I actually haven't read Project Hill Mary yet but I know that I like Andy Weir. - 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 and nerd. Now it's like I love books, I want to talk about books and more, I want to read more books. I feel I'm okay, say that, I like books. I, I, I pay books are great, I love books. I hadn't read it so long and then last year I read the entire Animal War series in like a month and then picked up some of the John Grishon books and stuff and then Molly got me the, to read her Project Hill Mary and it's like okay and now, now I've got the Dungeon Crowler Colorado series to start up. That's a hard thing to say quickly. - You're gonna love it, I guarantee it. - I finally bought it, so I'm very, I'm excited to read it. - I, for me reading was just ruined by 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, listen to picture book. - Fucking red letters, not for me. - I used to read Playboy for the articles that I read Scarlet Letter and it's like, well now I gotta get it for the pictures. - I love red it, sorry, it's completely unrelated and I came across like a, you know, a caption of a tweet and it's got like a hundred key likes as my face. I'm like, "Oh, okay," then I read it. Like, "You two were Markiplier, "broke down in tears after his self-finance horror movie, "Iron Lunk opened to $23 at the worldwide box office." Quote, "Fuck, dude, this movie got so much money. "I'm so fucking dumb." (laughing) Oh man, I love that video. (laughing) Please with audience, please. Just one of you by one ticket, double my earnings. - I don't read enough books to talk about books for an entire episode, but I'm excited about that. Do you guys want to do my episode idea? - Yes. - Hear me out, we're getting older. - Some things in life are too 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. in fun. Look at me. I don't. 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 just want to talk about it. Sort of like in this elderbait episode, whatever. But like for me, like Crab Lunchables, Craft Mac and Cheese, I understand that they are not high-quality food products. I'm with you, Bob. Makes me like them 0% less. They're 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 but grown and I have a credit card. How could I not buy this helicopter that will definitely fill in all my dreams and be perfect and amazing? Ben, you guys have anything? Who's going first? The line 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. I'm going to start with playing pretend. I don't just go around like playing pretend around the house like we did this kids, but like D&D, 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. I'll hear a voice. I'm like, can I do that one? So like, I'll be sitting on the toilet. Just like, we live paper, we live paper. It's the same three voices every time. No, no, no, different things. I'll have conversations. I did Whitney Houston's Dolly Partons. I will always love you as different characters, literally just switching. Like they'll pass between because you can't hold a note. I did that once. I couldn't talk for like three days. Sure, sure. I had like Mickey Kermit, Christopher Walken and Elmo 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 D&D campaign or something. I find it fun to do voices and characters and things and it was something I like doing as a kid. I still really enjoy doing now. It's fun to tap into that and like, try and to be someone else and give them their own. Even if it's not, like an original character doesn't have to be something like that, but like my fucking stupid little cigar prop I keep here, put it in my mouth, my character, and from D&D damn shun here, the big gatlin gun. Damn shun, we gonna go around the day and kill some fucking stormtroopers. It's fun, I don't know. It's fun to do. Yeah, I think that people in general just still want to play pretend because we all have imaginations, but now we're all adults and we can't because it's not what adults should do. Look at us now. What's a movie besides just a big old thing of pretend? You know, people love pretend. Now, we've all made so many movies together. Hey, we made some things together. Calling it making them together is maybe generous to weigh the knife, but we were there. Getting to be one 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 two comes out. Mark, delete that, editors. Delete it. Don't spoil that. Give it away. My idea. I bought the rice to that. Oh god, did you? That's right. Mark, I own you now. See? You 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. 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 her performance. Mark. So my my childhood thing actually that I do still to this day is something that 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 micro center mall like advertisement thing. And so I would, after he was done with that, 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, a 30 megabyte hard drive. Oh, a 10 pack of floppies for only $29999. Well, take two. You know, so now that I'm, I'm back in building render from and I'm done with the movie now. So I now I'm just like, what computer can I upgrade? What needs to be like, I caught a whiff that there are new Intel processors coming out and it's like, oh, yeah, all right. I probably need that. I probably I probably can do with an upgrade to my main. I can build another one. So it's just like, I just desperate, desperately looking around for anything that I can build 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 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. Oh, they were for your render. Well, some of them were just like, no wait, actually, this is what this subreddit is all about. Really shitty setups. This guy, you can't make fun of him. And meanwhile, he's saying that I'm like, oh, you die. Look, I'm still getting hit here, man. Seriously, the people on the on the home lab subreddit who are like scoffing at people who scrawl things together and have janky it. 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 could make with them. It's great. And the people who are chill about it are cool. And 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 about that. Some people were looking at all the max studios and was like, oh, clearly, that's not a deal. 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 a sell those things now that I'm done with the movie. So I only got him for this, for this thing. So I cannot fucking believe how expensive, like an M1 Mac mini still is. Like you 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 that like 300, 400, 500 bucks, depending on the specs and what the fuck you guys will 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 max 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'm I might make money on these make money on some Mac studios. It's crazy. So did I tell you all what I spent on my new computer? And you said it was like $30,000 or something. Yeah, you spend $120,000 on it. That's what you told us. Well, okay, it's not going to sound expensive after I compared to those numbers. No, 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 5090 16 terabytes of hard drive space. I didn't even get the maximum RAM. I got two fours in an eight. Oh, I thought he said 60 and I was like, okay, I only got 64 gigabytes of RAM, too, because RAM was crazy expensive. That's a mark level shit right there. Yeah. Yeah. But I was looking at the camera I bought. So I got a new camera. It's not here yet, but it comes in tomorrow was the same exact price brand new as whatever 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 five or six times the price. It is unbelievably stupid. I don't know if there's actually shortage. There might be or if this is just inflation of the price, but RAM shot up like four times. It's normal price sometimes more and now storage like even an eight terabyte SSD, which I was getting plenty of those for for my my movie to shuttle files around. I had eight terabyte NVMEs all the time. Those were like 800 bucks. I was looking at I was like, that's so expensive. Okay. All right. GPU RAM and hard drive was like 90% of the cost. Now that eight terabyte was up to $3,200. The same one that I bought went from 800 to $3,200 literally jumped up 4x and I'm like, that seems arbitrary. I'll just keep writing my stuff down on paper, I guess. Goddamn. Yeah. One, one. Oh, Mark sitting in his bathroom render farm like one. Oh, oh, oh, shit. The eBay servers I got for a great deal. We're like punch card from the 70 servers. All right, 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. There are assassin distributions 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 for and I'm like, I got it and I got and I opened it. My parents got it for me for 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 going to mess it up. 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 didn't even use it yet. I was just sitting there looking at just like That's legit. I don't know if that's childish for me because I didn't really get in computers and tell us and like maybe middle school At the earliest but it'll never not be exciting. Wade You touched on this I have to go there. Die it. I mean I eat a lot more than I used to like everyone's like Where you're such a picky, you know, which is true, but like I would not have eaten a lot of Like the Indian food Thai food stuff like that that I eat now see food 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 and Jay. We still have the house stocked with SpaghettiOs Everyone that I know hates them except for me hates them. I love them SpaghettiOs and can't are avioli together in the same pot plain SpaghettiOs or SpaghettiOs with meatballs. I'm plain SpaghettiOs 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 I'm like kind of just want craft or velvete like give me the shells dude velvete and shells I lived on that through college a lot when I had money. I was buying the Kroger brand Shills with melty cheese that was definitely not velvete Because 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 it sounds like some adult shit to me I don't know about that. I waited when I was younger and I liked it But I don't know I just like I'll eat more and then 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 Wait, do you want chicken tendies? Yeah, so diet and dude There's still times where it's like oh every time I eat like gushers or whatever I feel like crap But like wait, he wants some gushers today Give me some gushers. Give me a fruit roll up like not a slugit. Yeah, my body does not like it Whatever I give into 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 kind of want some cereal. Awesome. 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 because 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 oh sorry guys I need to pass out for a little bit I would just like get super low energy and like I need 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 tart shockedarts there and a lot of those types of candies the chalky ones They all have dextrose right? Oh, that explains a lot because yeah Yeah, so 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 I know this is bad for me But I'll see a sweet turtle. I'll see like a role of smarties U.S. Smarties not UK Smarties And like at the sound mix they had these giant smarties and I was like I can't have you My child is 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 and stare in it And as a kid my dad would just get so mad because 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 the Close it go to the pantry stand in the pantry looking at my phone and then I'll just be all right and then all that's just like I turned into a zombie when it's like I'm hungry. I do not prepare myself meals I guess that's more what it is. It's like 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. Your door dash is the same way for me like it's not opening the fridge But it's 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, it exists. 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 it is. It's like yeah our ancestors used to just go club the first bat They saw on eat it now. We're like we could have anything. No, why bat specifically? How I would know it's like the hardest thing to club. I'm like No, I'm not saying like anything is bats but I'm like if I had to be like damn ancestors There's there's a raccoon right there No, man bats because I don't know when you show in your torch light the bats would fly near it and you club Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's what that's to sure they like mods they echo locate 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 then as soon as they come up they go Wave it in the air and they whatever falls down. They hold their mouth At least my answer is this ancestors. 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-pass 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 have 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 were manny made where it's like So it constantly lasted to pass. I remember I can't remember if it was related to the episode or not It was just one of those bits that stuck for like that episode. There's so many scenarios Where you can see a number of paths. We're so much funnier back then. Yeah, we've changed one of us for the better two of us for the worst So I'll let you decide who's is which I claim worse you claim worse - I don't know. I just said dibs All right, Mark. It's one of those two better or worse. I'll get I'll take the other one. All right, that's decided and wait You're out Does anyone have anything else that they desperately wanted to get it? 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 It is 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 creep in it's really sad because I want to enjoy the swing Sometimes you get older you lose the ability to do so but men swings and merry-go-rounds go hard modern merry-go-rounds, bro Those are some thick. There's some crazy shit out there in the world of merry-go-rounds. Tell you what there's in-ground Or paraded ones where it's just like a turntable at that ground look 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 love putting together jigsaw puzzles as a kid. I don't do jigsaw puzzles anymore I wish I probably would if I had them But I still have found that I actually really like puzzles and that's why blueprints connected with me so much was I like the puzzle aspect I still like building Legos. It's like a similar field 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 about 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 was always enjoyed that and like like I said to this day Blueprints unlocked that feeling in me for the first time and probably like decades I know that it was a kid's thing But I also feel like it's very adult to be into 20,000 peace jigsaw puzzles. It 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 I don't 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 destroyed Like wooden puzzles and then like as I got older, you know you got fancier ones There were like the three the blue 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 But yeah, I'm the puzzle-y stuff. I enjoyed as a kid. Did you have one Mark? You look pregnant with thought Oh man, I'm struggling to come up with another one because I'm just so mature and I'm so well-developed and well-rounded It is an individual and I have no No habits that I've carried over from child -Hey, that's allowed. -You don't have to be an idiot like us. -Well, you're like a thum sucker still? Come on, tell us. -I buy my nails. That's definitely one. 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, "I teeth are pretty good. The only thing I've destroyed my teeth from is tockies and sour candy. I know what I've killed my teeth with. I chit mine on candy, my front tooth on candy." -Oh, we gotta get stronger. -Death. -Better chompers. -Yeah, take care of your teeth. Brush your teeth ever. That's a habit that I've stuck from childhood. That is 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-- 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 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 it to spine problems. Let's say you stop spine problems, right? -I wish. -Yeah, yeah, brush your back here. I will say, I've carried over my childhood teeth brushing habits in a bad way, where I do brush my teeth, but within the first 10 seconds, I get it out, and then I'm like, "Mm, brushing my teeth." 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 the parent and the child, because I'm like, "No, you have to do the whole time." I don't want to do the whole time. I don't care if I don't have any, you know, 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 bad about two minutes, and then I've just done brushing my teeth, but I fucking hate it. I don't care for the minty taste of toothpaste, so 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, I mean, either. Oh, all right. Good. I'm glad we're on the same page. He's got that weird thing. We're mint. You know, cilantro tastes like soap, 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, I just, maybe because it's a kid I didn't like it or something, but like, 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, there's 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, 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 got this 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. Don't just everywhere. Yeah, but it's so annoying. And then blood just, and I know if you keep doing it, that won't happen, bud. Please. The one time a year I floss teeth pop out. I'm bleeding everywhere. It's awful. I just flossing obviously so bad for my mouth. I just pretend it's a rocky Balboa movie. I just won the fight. I actually take a popcorn bucket into the bathroom. I fill it back up. Anyway, great, great ending message. Mark, brush your teeth, everybody. I'm really god damn book. We're going to call the episode there. Mark, you are in points for the number one movie in America today. You got an agreement point. You got a dungeon crawler point. You got a point for playing with computers. You got a point for being an apple genius. You got a point for being a fridge gaser. And you got a point for brushing your teeth. Wade, you earned points for you. Also got an agreement point. You got a planning to read dungeon crawler carl point. You had a laughing at your own joke point. You got the went first point. You got point for playing pretend. You got a point for working on computers by installing a GPU and a hard drive into an otherwise fully built computer. You got a point for eating childish foods like PB and J. You got a point for clubbing bats and you got a puzzle point leaving the final score with Mark with seven and Wade with nine. Unfortunately for Wade, two of those points are lie points. Oh man, this could go either way. So it is seven to seven real points. Wade, you have two lie points. Oh, absolutes are coming. It is time to consult the wheel of bullshittery and nonsense. But then you get a point, Bob? I do have one point. That's correct. Yeah, I got a callback point. That's right. That's right. Because you called back. I saw two paths. Actually, I saw one path, but whatever. How many bonus points will there be? I'm going to guess it's going to be three. Oh, it comes down to one. One point. Oh, yeah, I have to add something. I think most childish. All right, good. That one's going to be a hot debate. Goo Goo Gaga. I'm getting in there. That just reminded me of something I can't remember even kind of. Sorry, Mark, I was delayed laugh. I zoned out. That's okay. I heard it. You don't have to explain yourself. Drooled the most. I don't think I drool at all. I don't think I drooled at all. I mean, Mark did his with the Goo Goo Gaga, but. Oh, yeah, a little drool. It's pretty childish. I would have been. I should have. That's a respin. That's a respin. Scary his contribution, man. Dungeon Crawler Carl. Very scary. I'm telling you. Technically, Mark's movie's a horror movie. Oh, that's true. I don't think you talked about anything scary, Wade. I got to be honest. Door-dashed prices. Oh, see food. Mark gets a scary, scary point. Yeah. Mark has eight points and Wade has seven points. Oh, and I think I forgot to mention this. Maybe I should have read it and mentioned this. There is a point owed to me for when I'm finally done with the movie. Oh. That's like long, long ago. It's been a set. I don't know if it's true, but I'll just say it now because I don't want to have to pull that out. It's some other point in the future. I'll forget about it anyway, so I'll just like. No, I'll put it. It's on the record. Mark also got a point for finishing the movie. Millionly leaving the final score. Mark, Mark with nine and Wade with seven. I didn't give it to you, so I'll give you one. Yeah, my global point total. Wade or effort today really all around. Uh, loser speech? We went into this episode. I had a grueling headache. A contact lens lost behind an eyelid. But you know what? I fought it nearly to a tie, despite the fact that I was on 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. Hmm. The epitome of standing on the third run of the final standings and fighting my gold medal pop in the champagne and kissing the lady who gave me the medal. That's me today, baby! I competed! I was here! Woo! Wow. 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 that I will eventually go insane and I will destroy my life to get even a hint of the same amount of dopamine serotonin that I got from this weekend. It is the beginning of the end for me. But at the beginning of the end, it's still pretty good. A year from now, I will be a devastated wreck. I will be lost to the wheels of Hollywood forever. I'm going to let it go to my head. I'm just like I'm letting this victory go to my head. I'm prepared for it, and I can't wait to be a shell of a man. That's the spirit. Woo! Good job, everybody. Mostly Mark. That's going to be the end of the episode. Make sure you check out Mark and Wade on the socials. Markplier, Lordning777, MyScrorm. That's mine.
