Booing Bob doesn't know Kryptonian lore, loves rectal, and starts semantic situations. Midden-making Mark gets poisoned by pricks. Wits himself goes urethral, lords Warhammer, and maniacally directs Wade's bottom. Witty Wade swallows sausage, goes crawling, fears myocardial infarctions, then sphincters his yank. He's a gang hole. From superfan Superman to caring less. Hehehehe. It's time for Oxford 3002. Now sit back and prepare to be distracted and enjoy the show. Hello everybody and welcome to Superman's favorite podcast. You can't prove that it's not. Unless it's true. Does he canonically have a favorite? Yeah, distractible. Super de-duper man. Oh, I don't know enough about comic books to make this joke. I asked him, and he told me. We're his favorite. Superman's favorite. That's us. That's right, it's distractible. You talk to Superman? Yeah, we're buddies. On the reg? I go to his fortress of quietude, and I hang out with him and his cat, and we talk about podcasts and. Is this all true? That sounds like Superman. Kinda. It's made of dry ice. The cat? The cat. Ah, I see. Anyway, if you've never seen distractible before, my name's Bob, and I'm the host because I won the last one. There's two other guys here. They're competing to win this one, because then that means they host the next one. That's it. That's all the rules. There's no constitution or any other bullshit. It's just those three rules. Three? Two? That one rule, really, is what matters. The people who will be competing today, as always, as only ever. Are Mark and Wade. Hi. Hello. I thought we were just leaning into the viewers today. You don't have to address the listeners. You can just. We could just do a sign language episode. I love the listeners. 'Cause I love ears. He's an ear man. We got an ear man over here. I'm an ear man. Everyone knows this. I don't know why my voice had to change to call you an ear man, but now you're an ear man. Last ear man was in 1920s. Before talkies came on the scene. No one needs those talkies. They need the ear man. In one ear, out the other. And you know what I'm saying? I'd like to go in both. What the fuck? I don't like what just crashed into your 1920s, and I'm not a fan of it. Whatever that was, I hate it. The penguin gun there, you know? The old transatlantic Kentucky accent there. Anyway, welcome to the episode. How's it going, fellas? I have a game. I do have a game. I know everyone expects me to be unprepared, 'cause I'm always unprepared. But I'm prepared, and the more I say it, the more true it becomes. But before we do that, how's it going? You guys got any small talk? Anything going on in your cool lives? Yeah, I do. So, I went through some of the most devastating, bowel-exploding, body-shaking, adverse reactions you've ever experienced. You know what I mean? You know what I'm saying? Kinda. There's been a few times. I'm familiar. What happened? I went. You hear that, guys? No. Looking ghosts? Jeez, alright. Amy and I were gonna travel soon, both for our honeymoon and for other reasons. So it's like, oh, we need to get some travel vaccines, right? To go to certain places, you need certain vaccines. I go to this travel vaccine place, right? Won't name it, but it was fine. Person was fine there. And I went there because I was like, I don't know what's recommended to go to these places. So it's like, we're going here, here, here, and here. What do we need? And it's like, well, let me pull up your vaccine records. And it's like, oh, you haven't had your tetanus in fucking forever. You haven't gotten a boost. Do you go to the doctor? And I'm like, well, I swear I go to the hospital a lot. But, you know, I don't usually. Don't usually. I guess I haven't really checked in on that. So I needed four. Four vaccines. Two new, two boosters. Well, three new, one booster or something like that. I don't know. They got the super syringe, you know, for the everything. Oh, the big juicer? Yeah. The every 10 year kind of mega one. It's normal size for Bob and I, but for you, it would look like that. Okay. Come on. Come on, man. Come on, man. Sorry. Sorry. I hope that wheel spin doesn't come back to bite me later. Come on, man. Come on. Yeah. I'm making note of the short joke. But it was really funny. Come on, man. All right. Yeah, it was funny. So I get all mine. I take it like a champ. You know, I didn't even cry. You know, ah, four Band-Aids. Bam, bam, bam, bam. Two on each arm. Right. Get home. I'm like, okay, I'll probably feel a little, little funky. Because when I, when I got the COVID vaccine, you know, that was the last time I took one and I finally got it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Last time I took one and I felt sick. Oh yeah. That one always hits me too. Yeah. Usually I take the flu vaccine. I don't feel that bad. But I started feeling a little queasy and then my stomach started rumbling. And then I had the worst chills I've ever had in my life. I was under three blankets, one of which was a heating blanket, and I couldn't stop shivering. It was a heat wave here in Los Angeles. It was 95 degrees outside, sun blaring. I was laying out on my driveway. I felt comfortable. Like I could feel my body starting to cook, like on the, the, the, I don't want a black top driveway, but it's like darker. And I was just like, oh, wow, this is kind of nice. And then I saw I was going to throw up, but I couldn't tell if it was from the sickness or from, you know, just being in the sun like that. So I go in, draw a hot bath, lay in that, and I'm just like, I can't get warm no matter what. The second, the second, like I'm, I'm out of the heat, I just start shivering violently. So I go into a fugue state for about six, eight hours, I have no idea, just on the couch under the heated blankets after the bath. And I was just like, and we didn't have a thermometer. I wanted to know what my temperature was. Yeah. You might've been running a fever of some kind. That's a good, good call. Well, I bet. I was like, I'm, I must be hitting a record. Right? 122 Celsius. I got it. I thought it was a fever. Yeah. Yeah. I got it at the high score here. I really was. That was my only thought. Cause I know if you get too high of a fever, you know, you, you should go to the hospital. Yeah. Yeah. No hospital first probably. Yeah. Yeah. But you should see if your body could take it first. Yeah. Yeah. So, um, what was unfortunate is, um, I was sleeping it off and usually, you know, I sleep it off and, but, uh, Amy started to get worried cause it was going on for so long. As I was starting to woke up and I started feeling a little better, the chills finally went away. And it was, it was funny because three blankets, heated blanket felt comfortable. Oh my God. I'm dying from heat. Like it was boom. Instantly. I woke up like, ah, sweat, like just, just the entire couch was a soak cause I was napping on the couch. Just like sweat everywhere instantly. So I must've been very, very warm. And so she gets, she goes to the pharmacy to get me some Gatorade cause I'm like dying of thirst. I need some electrolytes. She comes back and we get the thermometer and I'm like, I feel fine now. At this point. I feel fine. So I'm like, it's probably going to be normal. Let's just check to make sure I feel fine. I feel way less chills than I did before hundred degrees. And that's when I felt fine. So I really must've had a high fever. Yeah. If you hit like one Oh four, you're like, you're close to the dying part and you're supposed to really get to the hospital part. Yeah. I, we probably should, we'll have, we have a thermometer now. Probably should've kept that around. Did you go rectal or would you be a, are you a wuss? One ear out the other, I go a whole, I go urethral actually is what I have. have for my thermometer ah that's the other yeah that's the good way yeah it's the only way to get an accurate reading yeah plus when you're done you just pee it back out it's self-ejecting you don't have to you have to do anything it's convenient uh so that was my weekend that's not great dude i'm glad you have a thermometer now you might have set some kind of record i might have yeah but this is the things like i've actually had time to have like weekends to myself so for some reason the past few weekends i just haven't been able to relax and so last weekend was kind of the what do they call it the cream on the cake the icing on the cake the cream you know maybe you did it a high temperature for a little bit mark is mark is broke he don't work no more so uh i'm better now um i feel great i've had an upload schedule which is nice and everything else is going great the minor heat induced brain damage you know i can shrug that off and i'm i'm good man i feel like i lost a few pounds in that time when i was going through that man hold on i need to go get these vaccine can you send me what you got yeah just go to the doctor say like get me the big one good good big one i've been oh i haven't had i need that big syringe i think it might have been the typhoid one that got me i think it's a pokemon typhoid typhoid typhoid go typhoid mary go well "oh that was tasteless" yeah ma'am a little bit "oh i'm sorry we can't make typhoid mary jokes" honestly i barely barely registered because i was trying to think of my own joke and then when you said that i was like uh i don't know if mine's gonna beat that i thought oh it evolves into typhlosion but that's a real pokemon is that funny is it not funny typhlosion yeah typhlosion really gen 2 starters cinderquill llama typhlosion it's real it's real it's real mark you smashed your past this typhlosion at one point did i it's like a fire ferret i don't think i ever got its name i think i just saw pictures you looked at one you know you've seen it it's real you don't need to know a name to smash or pass i guess well we're glad you're alive yeah we're talking about how you apparently almost died in the last week apparently yeah yeah man yeah that's an adventure of its own kind good job surviving thank you thank you i tried wait how did you almost die this past week i had five hot dogs in the week or in the one one day fuck yeah man uh over the course of a whole day or four hours okay this is this is either a really you know normal day sad day or or were you in a competition so i i had three conies i had three conies from skyline oh those are tiny but they have chili and cheese on them sure sure and then we uh went to my my nephew had like a birthday get together and they were grilling out molly and i didn't have a lot of time because we were gonna go see project hill mary so they were grilling out and they made the whatever people were grabbing food and there were just a few hot dogs i was like i'll just grab a couple hot dogs and as i was eating i was like wait that's what i had for lunch too oh god it's like i'm 15 again i'm going to die later we end up being fine transition though project hill mary was a fantastic movie really fantastic movie loved the book movie also fantastic so you've read the book i have and the movie i didn't get pissed off watching the movie i actually really enjoyed it usually whenever you read a book and immediately see a movie afterward you're like i can't believe they cut out my favorite thing but it was a really good faithful adaptation i really really enjoyed it so highly recommend i won't say anything else about it i want to spoil i recommend reading the book and then seeing the movie but whatever very good i have another update what was it that's right there it's gone oh i told bob this but mark you don't know this i finally finally last night i was laying in bed molly was asleep i finally got my hands on it what where is this going i started dungeon crawler carl oh why is it me is bobsing but thank you for the attribution well i told him already so i gotta tell you wait that's fun did you see the reddit post i was like yeah i get excited every time they mention books and it's like yay bob for mentioning don't you crawl the carl yay wade for reading anamorphs mark you're there i guess and i'm like i read books all the time what the fuck i'm talking about what the fuck oh come on i was also excited about dr crawler carl mark clearly doesn't read like the other two educated ones just because all i read is warhammer 40k you know what i mean yeah no not not the man on the same podcast who's bragged about reading what must be several hundred warhammer books oh my god at least yeah it's gotta be a lot i think you've read more warhammer books than i've read all books in the world probably i've read so many i think that's probably true because i haven't i've read mostly law legal cases if i'm honest i don't know how to count those but in terms of books you're definitely kicking my ass i mean probably not with warmer because like there there are only so many but i i read a lot in my i like reading it's how i got such a big vocabulary that's how i know so many words and use them for talking do you like my words my out loud words yes yes i make them with my mouth that's a good word good job reading wade i'm glad someone here is finally reading a goddamn book yeah me too my last and final which is the same word twice update i don't know how you read such a small amount like this is not a judgy thing because i i do that but the first when the first time i started reading dungeon crawler carl it was like i was getting ready for bed so it was like late at night like maybe it was 11 o'clock i was like i'll read for a little bit and then i'll get tired and i'll go to sleep and i read possibly the entire book before i slept but i read all the way through like easily three quarters of the book possibly the entire thing in one sitting because i started and i just got into it and got into it and like i i'm like this and maybe you're not like this the same way but like i couldn't stop no i get that way i literally i read until like five in the morning and then i was like ah the baby wakes up in a couple hours i guess i should pass out well it's a lot less fun of a reason but i've had trouble sleeping more than usual the last few weeks i don't know if it's something actually going on or like mini panic attacks or what it is but like i'll lay down and then all of a sudden like you know if you like are sitting still for a while and then you get up and like you run up a flight of stairs or something you feel even more out of breath like your heart's pounding more than usual i've had a thing a few different nights including night before last where i'll go to lay down and all of a sudden it's like almost like my chest is burping or something but like i'll start to feel like a weird sensation and then all of a sudden it's like oh man is my heart like what's my heart rate right now is it nine million over five hundred thousand because it's it's pretty why am i panicking i'm fine i just need to let's just focus on something else wait you're dying oh okay i'm dying i'd stop thinking about just think about anything else can't think about anything else focus chest bound hard fast that kept me up till eight in the morning two nights ago so i was very tired last night so i fell asleep easily because of that i've had this exact same thing not even uh exaggerating it's like as soon as i lay down specifically all of a sudden i can feel my heart and i've had an apple watch when i was doing it back before they were sued out of their ability to do such things it was always blood oxygen that they got sued about the the the ecg thing is still works but okay cool well i would do that and i would look at my heart rate and it would be like it doesn't feel that crazy and it was only reading ever like 105 110 um which is barely elevated um and it's like the ekg looked good as much as i can read one of those and it said i was fine but yeah no i i don't know what that's about i lay down and then some nights it's just boom boom it's like it's like someone's bang in a drum in my chest it doesn't hurt or anything it's just kind of like well that's weird and concerning not fun and i i i've got there's been a lot of things going on in life i don't want to bring all of it up here but i've had reasons to be like stressed about stuff but like at least on the conscious level i feel like i'm okay you know i've had my moments i've had moments of happiness i've shed tears i've dealt with some of the things that we're dealing with maybe it's my subconscious or i don't know but the heart is just the one thing i it scares me probably the most because i've had some family history of like heart attacks and stuff so i'm like man hope my heart's okay so the heart pounding just really compounds it becomes a vicious cycle of like now i really can't calm myself down so well do you have an apple watch wade because i i don't know if it would help you but i would recommend that yeah i do i haven't i haven't used it i should probably use it again but for both of you what you're describing sounds like a thing i'm familiar with it sounds like um atrial fibrillation which is not necessarily even a thing that would manifest on an ekg especially on the apple watch because it's not exactly like a diodes all over your body type of one but that is not necessarily a bad thing that can happen but also if you're concerned about it the doctor can check it out pretty easily they will give you like a full diodes all over your body ekg get the full readings like it's real easy i think i'm going to i think i'm going to do that if it is that because i'm familiar with it it feels crazy it kind of feels like you're like oh is this a heart attack my left arm isn't numb so it must not be a heart attack yeah yeah no so i would say two weeks ago a week ago last week sometime i don't remember exactly how long ago i had this happen like two nights in a row i like went downstairs for a little bit ate something just kind of like like, changed my location, changed the way I was sitting and stuff, and it went away and went back upstairs, was fine, able to fall asleep. But for whatever reason, night before last, nothing I did could make that go away. And so from, like, 1.30 in the morning till a little after 8, just had that sensation. So I think I'm gonna have to call and go in and make sure there's nothing else going on, but I've never dealt with, like, extreme anxiety except for, like, in specific scenarios. Some people just have anxiety. The closest I could relate is how people have described, like, panic attacks. This felt like a mini panic attack almost, but, like, I didn't think those lasted for hours. I guess I don't know. I never really experienced it. Yes, Mark is raising his hand. Teacher, teacher, I have your diagnosis. I've looked up online. I've put in all your symptoms. You have paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia. That sounds like a lot of bad things grouped together like that. Yes, you don't want to be paroxysmal. Oh, good. You don't want to be supraventricular. Paroxysmal? Yeah, P-A-R-O-X-Y-S mal. Paroxysmal. Wow, what a word. The heart's natural pacemaker and sinoatrial node generates electrical impulses that tell the heart to beat, but in a person with PSVT, you. The heart's steady rhythm undergoes sudden periodic paroxysmal disruptions. An errant electrical signal from above the ventricle, superventricular, overrides the sinoatrial node's normal signal and creates a series of very fast heartbeats, tachycardia. The vast majority of PSVTs are not life-threatening, although in rare circumstances, they can be dangerous, which is why people who experience repeated bouts of a racing heart should tell their doctor. Practically, I've already done that now. I guess so. I'm good. I don't need to go in now. Except for telling your doctor. Yeah, what web doctor has been told. Oh, that's true. That's true. Internet, save him. I will also say the feeling like it's a panic attack thing, it can feel like oh, I'm panicking, oh, my heart is racing, but it can actually be an inverse connection. You can have like a physiologically induced feeling of like a panic attack because what's happening to your heart is making your heart race, and then that triggers a bunch of other stuff that leads you. So it's not necessarily like oh, I'm so anxious, it's making my heart race. It could literally be like oh, I'm iron deficient, or oh, like oh, something else is happening, it's making my heart race, that is causing me to have these associated like emotional physiological reactions that feels like a panic attack, or feels like anxiety or whatever. It's probably fine, but maybe ask your doctor and get it scanned. Maybe that will help maybe that will help you feel less worried about it at least. So Progressive is here to help when you can. Progressive Casualty Insurance Company and Affiliates. Limited availability in California. Driver is responsible for emergency and towing charges not covered by the policy. I'll go get checked out. There was a particular family event that occurred, and then it happened shortly thereafter, so I figured it was probably like subconsciously stress-induced, but maybe it's just coincidence. Either way, I should probably get it looked at, but it's been not fun. They'll tell you you're stupid and take your money. Don't worry about it. I'll tell you you're stupid and take less money. I'll tell you you're stupid for free. Am I in an ad? Can I pay you to tell you you're stupid? Is this Guru and then whatever Mark's title was again? Oh, stupid, are we? That's why I didn't read as much Dungeon Crawler Carl, because last night I was finally tired enough to sleep. I mean, that's fair, I guess. Whatever. As the literate one of the podcast, I expect more from you, but it could have been that the book was so exciting. You just couldn't your body was just I was only going to read the first chapter. I ended up reading I think six. So like I did read more than anticipated because I didn't want to put it down. But sometimes you get like, especially early late in a book, it's impossible to stop because like just everything, the stakes are always so high. But like early on, every now and then you reach a point in a book where you're like, okay, I really want to know what's next. But I feel like things are only going to escalate, get harder. I've got to stop here or else I really won't be able to stop. And that's where I was with the book. I was like, okay, this is, I've gotten through the intro tutorial phase. Now whatever happens is probably going to get crazy. Let's stop here. Dude, shit gets nuts. Especially the later books. Shit just gets nuts and more nuts and then nutser and somehow nutsier. Yeah, I can tell you that feeling of like, oh, I'm finally through the tutorial phase. You keep having that. And it's one of the things I like about the series is I feel like there's a constant thing of like, okay, now we're through like the prologue. Now we know what's happening. And then you'll read a few chapters and you're like, I'm fucking, no, this is still prologue. There's still like, how is it getting crazy? Anyway, it's fun. You guys want to play a game? Sure. It's easy. Yeah, I'll play an easy game. We've played it before. Oh, no, wait, no, hold on. Hold on. No, no, no, no, no, no. Listen, there's no questions. It's not like that. This is a different kind of easy game. Easy. Remember this paragraph's in recited by memory. Uh, close. While singing and rhyming. Oh, God, no. Not that close. Oh, okay. Honestly, I had several titles written down, but I kind of want to call this one the Easy 3000. Do you guys remember when we played the game with the Oxford 3000? The words and the saying them backwards. Oh, yes. Yeah. Yeah. Say, say, you see, see, that's not, that's just Spanish. Say yes backwards. Yes backwards. Say, say, say, adios, meos, but backwards. Say, say, say, say, yeah. This is the Easy 3000. How well do you guys remember that game? Pretty good. Remember the words that you had to say backwards during that game? Do we get points if we do? It was in October, so I'd be really fucking surprised if you did. Anyway, don't worry. You probably don't have to say most of them backwards because I did come up with a new thing. Can we say them sideways instead of backwards? That doesn't make sense. Say it sideways. Say it sideways. No. Say a word. Say any word sideways and I'll give you a point. Yeah, yeah. That's it. Any. That's the word any. Sideways. I got it. I got it. I got it. Ha. Each other. Yeah! For the listeners, Mark just stood up and physically turned his head sideways. Oh, damn it. You know what? That's a point. I said what I said. Creative genius. This is kind of like a mix of a bunch of games because that's all I do is look at what I've already done and try and find ways to rehash that. So it's kind of like the Oxford 3000. If you happen to remember those words, if anything sparks, maybe that will be helpful to you. The game that we're going to play today with this is not dissimilar to a game they used to play. Friendship? No. Okay. I think it was. I think it was. Yeah, well, and I'm allowed to lie to you. The game we're going to play today with the words Yeah. Okay. It was. It was. But I'm not going to tell you whose word it was. So there. You're ruining stuff already. I told you. I told me to tell you. I did not. I was not. Not then. Not right at the moment. Okay. I can get on your pitch too. They used to play a thing called director. Anyway, they would do a scene and then one of the cast members was a director and they'd come out and be like Do it French. And this is kind of like that, but if you had to guess a word. There's going to be a word. You're the person giving the clues is going to be allowed to offer one word at a time as a direction. So it's kind of like hotter colder. But if Mark has a word and Wade starts and Wade is like friendship. Mark can be like science here or French or higher, whatever. You say any word you want. If you think it will help and we have to say it like that. Not more French. I'm mean, that's my idea. It's not. I'm not going to like doc your points if you get creative with it. But the notion is it's like the direction, right? And they're always like do it more like a noir film or whatever. Like the idea is for it to be kind of like that. You're supposed to give clues, but they have to be short and you can't just be like the word is this say this word. You will get in trouble if you do that. Anyway, every time I explain my game idea lately, the more I say about it, the more I'm like, man, that's a stupid idea. I shouldn't have committed to this, but it's too late. Now I'm going to flip a coin to see who goes first. Okay. And one of the whoever goes first, they say a word and the other person has to guide them to the correct word by the French or type clues. That's it. Yes. Whoever goes first guesses any word that they want and the other player has to give them direction. One word direction at a time to try and basically hot and cold their way. Toward the correct word lady is weighed line is Mark. It doesn't mean anything about who you are. That's just how I decided in the moment. Editors make me a lion marks a line line goes first. It hurts. It's painful. Oh, what are they doing to me? It's too bad. I'm in the cowardly lion. So Mark is guessing first. Wait, I'm going to give you your first word to play with. Okay, that's not the piece. I just looked at my paper and saw a bunch of other words. It was like, what did I write down? Oh no. that's a different word so i'm not acting any of these am i or no you're just guessing you're trying to guess the word and wade wants you to guess the word so i start with the word and he'll guide me if you if it helps these are all words from the oxford 3000 list of words that does not help there's approximately 3000 options that it has to be from but wait i set you a chat with your first word and mark when you're ready avalanche people here sure stampede oh i like this already this is gonna be fun for me antonymia standing room only what was that you heard me you heard me it's hyphenated standing room only yeah standing room only people here think of the same clue twice sure do you think it will help yeah theater individual bathroom sphincter no you sure you sure about that no colin that's wrong Are you sure? I have no idea what you think that's going to. I don't know, man. Your clue is sphincter-ier. Maybe it will help you. Maybe I'm wrong. Diarrhea? Muscle-ier. Butt. Arm-er. Arm-er. Army. Army-er. Arm. I don't know, man. I'm panicking. I'm going to find a way to get here. Bodybuilder. Interesting. Traits-er. It doesn't have to have the er on it. If it doesn't make sense, we could try. That's already not working. I accept that. Traits. Ego. Different. The sphincter of the ego. Rewind. Rewind. Okay. The ego. Physical-er. Mogging. One second. Wait. Well, actually, I don't know if I have an accurate definition. Oh. More no. No-er. Oh, fuck. Okay. So, physical. Physical of ego. Weights. Purpose. Strength. Opposite. Weakness. Oh, my God. That's it. I knew I'd get us there, buddy. I got it. Listen. Sphincter. Sphincter-er. Well, you said bathroom, and I was like, how do I get from bathroom to our body? It's a muscle. The sphincter's a muscle. You could have muscle weakness. Can you have sphincter weakness? You sure can. Yes, you can have sphincter weakness. That just doesn't make any sense. Well, I didn't know how to get there, man. Can't have sphincter surgery. Sphincter spasms. Listen, we can judge, but I drove the car. I marked the directions, and he drove the car there. If sitting in the back seat while the accelerator is stuck to the floor and just ending up accidentally crashing, getting into the correct answer, counts as driving the car, you drove it there, baby. I did. I'm going to be so much worse at the other side of this. Have you ever seen that video, the rally car driver, where the assistant's like, you have to listen to my calls. Left, left, sooner, tight left, left, right, turn right. It's very funny. I have not. I don't know which one's which here in that one, but that's what it felt like. Well, Mark, now wait. It's your turn to guess, and Mark, I'm going to send you a word. I'm ready. On your guess, Wade. Apple? Less shmeagle. Apple. The word is apple like Patrick Warburton. How did you get that? That's so specific. All right. Less shmeagle. Mountain. I see how this is going to be difficult. All right. Okay. Opposite. Valley. Good. Good. Okay. I'm going to talk to you like a director. Oh, yeah. You know how to do that. Where's your hat? Does your hat help? Hat. Hat. Damn. Not that hat. So we're at Valley, right? Okay. Lower. Crust. More ethereal. Hold on. Can I look up ethereal? So it's just Wade endlessly. Googling everything Mark says. I didn't know mog, moga, whatever you said before. Mogging. We've talked about mogging. Lower than the valley. More ethereal. Or esoteric might be a better word for you. More esoteric. Now, Wade's a philosophy major. He knows what esoteric means. I know esoteric. Of course I know esoteric. Tunnels. Back up a step. Valley. Crust. Valley crust. Back up another step. Mountain. Oh, wait. Fuck. Valley. Yeah. Yes, sir. All right. Yin and yang. I don't like that word. Forest. Back up a step. Valley. One-er. Mountain. Forward. Crust. What? No. Fuck. Valley. Mountain. Valley. Crust. Valley. Valley. Stay Valley. Now back up. Back. Just, just, just listen to me. I'm your director. Just listen to me. Don't listen to the rules. Listen. Back. Valley! For the listeners who just scooted away from his microphone. Guess Mark told him to back up. I got you, boss. Trust, trust, trust, trust, trust, trust her. Trust her. Back. Valley, back. Back up. Valley, back up. Uh-huh. Mount, not mount. So back up. What? What do you mean? What do you mean not? I think he wants you to say mountain, buddy. I did. He said no before. Mountain. Mountain. No, you didn't. You said valley. And I said, good. Go back. Just, please. Please. Mountain. Yeah. Yeah! All right. Forward. Valley. Yes! Okay. Back up. Mountain. Go down. Valley. Good. Now, yin and yang. Mark, I see exactly what you're getting at. And I can tell you, I think we both know that's not going to work here. Come on, it's my best chance. He can do it. He can do this. I'll give, I'll give Mark, I'll give Mark an assist. Because I'm talking so much anyway. He's having you go backward and then forward. Yeah, I see that. The mountain, the valley, the mountain, the valley. They're yin and yang, they go together. Conceptualize it. Go from mountain to valley. From mountain to valley. Conceptualize it. Yeah, I'm just trying to figure out if it's an area in between. If it's the concept of the whole. Whole. The yin and yang, they come together to form a whole. A whole circle. Our brains work very differently, I'm sorry. Yeah, yeah, you're right, you're right, you're right, you're right, you're right, you're right, you're right. Alright, let's, let's, uh, uh, uh. More differentialator-er. Oh! I believe in you, Wade. Mountain. Valley. Mountain. Valley. Yin and yang. Altitude? Alright, let's, let's shake it up. More negi- no, not. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. You. Oh no, he's already hitting you with the "you". I gotcha, I gotcha, I gotcha, I gotcha, I gotcha. I'm scared. Try something different. Any, anything-er. Any, anything-er. Darkness. Love it. Beautiful. That's great. Is that my clue? No, I'm complimenting you. This is not your clue. Oh, thank you. Such a good choice. That's a great choice. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. He's not patronizing you, it's a good choice. It's just how Mark is. Okay. Lumen-er. Ooh. Gray. Good. It's good. This is good. I don't know how I'm gonna get there. We're gonna get there. We gotta believe. There's genius in that gray. It's not easy being on either side of this, I'm learning. Pot of gold-er. Oh, okay, yeah. Uh-huh. I'm trying to think like wait here supernatural After life or ghost let's back up Gray fuck Whoa, I got you on the run wrong track. Let's just let's go back to what we were doing before Okay, I swear we can get there. Okay, how far back am I going mountain or like mountain just mountain mountain Valley, right? Okay. All right, so what I want to explain so badly, but I won't because I would betray it Lower hell good. Good. Very yin-yang. Very yin-yang. Love that lower Temple, okay, you getting it right? You're getting it. You're getting it bottom err Cavern cavern Feel it. So I want you to feel that feel that for sure No, oh no, oh good, okay, where's in hell bottom Hmm. Great. Great. Great.

No, hold on abstract through than minimalism minimalism oh i'm really good at this abstractor abstractor oh no oh no oh hold on hold on i'm feeling you uh mountain no hold on abstractor than minimalism less conjugation men What'd you say? Mini Miniature Mini Miniature Mini Minimal Minimize Minimize? Minimizing Minimalist Minim Minimalizing I don't know what you guys want from me Am I that close? You sure? Oh my god You have no idea Minimum i think the game here is how many of these can you do before you just die i would have never gone there from mountain and valley yin and yang i i understand where we're going now but i don't think i would have ever connected that what's that architecture style where it's real plain what is that what's that word for that you know the sad thing is is whenever we do some architecture i thought of it i was like yeah there's that one where you don't own like anything it's real simple i can't think what that's called let's move on to a different one frank lloyd wright oh my god oh man oh i just couldn't think of the word for it that's fair that's fair that's fair i was really yeah because i was like okay mountain opposite valley all right let's start down feeling this positive negative thing good job buddy you did good you got me there it's an easy game probably is if our brains work the same that's why it's the easy 3000 man all you have to do all right i'll get him the next one i'll get him on the next one oh yeah mark you have to start it that's right i also need to look at the word okay Any words you want, buddy Does he have it? I got it Pillow I see one path here That is so easy Please don't fumble this I will, I will fumble this But like in a way that I think is great Okay, good More face Did I send you the right word? Hang on You did, just trust me, trust me I don't trust you, continue face pillow i don't want to give it away too much like i feel like there's a word i could say it would really give it away but you're allowed to succeed quickly it doesn't have to be painful the joke is not that it has to be painful it's that it is painful sometimes it's allowed to be as easy as it seems that's okay oh edible or huh edible or i mean fine marshmallow healthier macron healthier more yogurt more organic organic yogurt more natural milk more vegetation do you know words yeah man cotton or edible carrot oh okay sweeter rhubarb more tree fruit more exact apple oh what a great run more face more face you lay on the back of your head you need to get to the face and then then what goes in it i can't help the way my brain works wait the word that you wanted for a thing that was edible sweeter and more vegetation is called fruit word is fruit you have gone pillow fruitier he might have just said apple because the top three fruit you guess is like apple banana and strawberry that's like cheating and we don't want that i guess that's fair i just thought i thought fruit was just too big of a jump from pillow see this is the thing though i'm like it can be easier and wade says can it though yeah i guess okay i guess in my brain like i'm trying to play off the word he used to like get there rather than just like fuck whatever you said it's a fruit like that i don't know that felt i felt like i had to guide him from pillow more than just and i appreciate that i appreciate that i do i mean you can do that okay well we've been playing wrong i think at least i have well look that's this is the glory of these games that i make you guys play and don't ever let force myself to participate in you can play it however you want oh just wait mark and i will remember one day we'll make you play yeah i doubt it you're probably right we'll think about remembering wait guess a word oh okay mark you ready yeah car aliver giraffe shorter corgi bigger sheep bigger buffalo smaller german shepherd actually i retract my smaller for some reason i thought of a rhino when you said buffalo buffalo were pretty big i don't know how but i don't know how they compare size wise more aggressive i'm thinking of buffalo hippo more aggressive lion american ear bear oh bear i knew i could tell you were stuck in africa i could tell you were just like in this in the savannah just except for sheep and corgi that's true but if it's bigger than that it's in africa i did intend to do another round but i i don't know oh we're so quick now we're on a roll yeah well i sort of i didn't realize the one would be the longest round and then everything else would be so easy. It turns out getting me to minimal was a problem. Minimum. Fuck. Are you guys up for one more, Diego? of the energy to do another round. I don't care. I can do another. Wade, I am sending you your word. Now you get to be on this side of one of these. No, no, don't. Have fun. Cloud. More man-made. Smog. More technological. Power plant. More personal. Home generator. More entertainment. TV. More screen. Theater? More resolution. VR. More ratio. More ratio? Is that what you said? You sure? I did. I did. Okay, alright. Camera. More viewing. Window? More display. Monitor. More options. Microscope. Uh-oh. Ha-ha. Ha-ha. That was more than one word. More monitor. I want so desperately to help you, Wade. I could see it. Display? More specific? LG. 4K. OLED display. Monitor. More 4K. Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha. Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha. 8K? More specific. More options. I'm trying to think of words I've not used. I think I used both of those. IMAX? More changing. Ugh. 2-3-5. Widescreen. Widescreen. Widescreen. More. What the fuck? What do you mean more? More. Okay. Okay. Okay. Alright. Every, every film and display term I know I'm just gonna start rattling them off, okay? Viewfinder. Did I say the same thing twice, Bob? Yeah, give the direction you want, man. More ratio. What do you mean more ratio? The one way I don't know how to get here. I don't know. Aside from the fact that it's not working, I think that's actually not a bad direction, Wade. And I'm gonna laugh at you either way, but I I can see the vision. Our brains just work so different. Split screen. More 1080? High definition? More colon. Oh, fuck. That's so. How does that seem so stupid but actually make sense? I don't know. If you know the answer, but not if you don't. No, it's so hard. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. I'm getting it. I got it. Uh-huh. 16 by 9? Uh. More term. 1920 by 1080? Less number? 4 by 3. Uh. More relationship. More. 2560 by 1440. Alright, we're gonna try this a third time. More ratio. That'll do it. Yeah, there you go. Get it right to it. Mark, use everything that you know about those things you were saying. Everything I know about those things I was saying. Especially some of the numbers. Some of the numbers. But maybe only the shorter numbers. Shorter numbers. Okay. Alright. One to one? More perspective? That's. Oh, God. I feel like I have the one that will get in there. Just say what I'm thinking. Say the words I'm thinking quick. I don't know what word you're thinking. Less specific? More words. Progressive Casualty Insurance Company and Affiliates Limited Availability in California. Is it in the room with me? Is it in my room? That's crazy. Is it in my room? I don't know if this is the kind of game where I can answer those kinds of questions. You know what, man? Just play the game however you want. I believe in you. I feel like I'm leading with the wrong. Rewind. Alright, rewinding. One to one. More general? Square. Different term. Aspect ratio. First word. Aspect? Aspect, yeah. It's aspect. I've been trying to get you to aspect from ratio for a long time. More ratio? More specific? More numbers? I thought that was a good clue. You were giving me ratios. I just couldn't get you to tell me that they were ratios. But you said more ratios. Oh, I gave you more ratios. I know. How else do I tell you? What's the term to get you just to tell me the term? More ratios? Well, Bob, what was the word you had in mind? When he was like, 16 by 9, 4 by 3, 1 to 1, I would have been like, the more word. And he might have said square, but that was where you had to work from. Take him directly from the aspect ratios he's listing. Because you kept pushing him to be like, more ratios. And then he kept going from aspect ratios to resolutions. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. I'm gonna stop you there. I said more ratio. There was never a plural. Whatever, whatever. Once he got away from the ratios, then you were like, describe it. And he was like, the shapes? The resolute? You needed to catch him on the ratios and then be like, that but words. Aspect is just such a hard word to get someone to. That is a tough one. Yeah, I can see why that's tough. Whenever you were listing off, like, all the aspect ratios, I was like, we just need to get from specific to general. I get it. I get it. I see. I see. Yeah, I don't. That's tough. That was tough. That was tough. I always sort of forget to keep in mind that I designed these games to be fun for me, because that's my main motivation. But I don't want you guys to kill each other. And I feel like I'm creating a tension. I don't feel any kind of tension. I more so feel like I'm failing to describe accurately. I'm like, we're right there. I just don't know how to. I don't know how to slide him sideways. Listen, Mark and I have been on both sides of this. We understand the hard parts of describing and guessing. Okay. He's given me my word. Oh, okay. I think we can get this. Alright. Pizza. More location. Restaurant. More vague. City. More vague. I wish that my brain was functional so I could think of the term I'm trying to think of. I'm just going to say country. That's not what I'm hoping to go for. More vague. Land. Careless. Place. Careless. There. Careless. Somewhere. More options. Someplace. More options. Wherever. Holy shit, man! Oh my god! I don't know how, but like, that I was with you. I don't know. You guys just locked in so hard on that one. That was great! That was great! I think Mark has had to give clues about 10% as much of the time as he has had to be guessing. You got bear and wherever so fast. I think you gave us an easy one with bear and apple, but you know minimum and wherever are such out there concepts. What were the ones I had? I've had. You had weakness, apple, and aspect. Sphincter. Weakness. Weakness and aspect. Those are tough to get to. Those are tough, yeah. Mark had minimum and wherever, which I feel like I thought would be comparably tough. To be honest, I don't know how we got to wherever. I just didn't. I ran out of terms. I was like, what else is. See, that was a strategy I thought was going to happen a lot more. Mark got you headed with some momentum, and then he was just like, care less. Even less. Less care. And that like drove you so far in the right direction that he got you. It just made a lot of progress. Progressed really quickly. I can't deny I was out there, and I was like, I can't care too much more. He told me to care less. And I'm not gonna lie, you both lighting up at somewhere had me thinking some or where were part of the word. It was amazing. It was. You guys looked like the sloth in that one Zootopia where he was like slowly smiling. I hope other people than me enjoy that, but I love. That was a good time. Oh, I'm sure they. I'm sure they will. Wade, you earned points for. What happened? Tossing out a short joke, which we'll see if that comes back to bite you. See if your body can take it about Mark not taking care of himself when he probably almost died from a fever. You're a wiener man. Sphincterier. You got a point for weakness, apple, and aspect, but you also got points during the gameplay for, oh, what's that architecture style where there's nothing? And it's. I was like, what are the odds that's the word? I just can't think of it. And also you got points for more face, more ratio, which gives you a total of 10 points, but one of those is a short point, so we'll see what happens with that. Mark, you earned points for super syringe, cooking yourself in the heat wave. You survived just impressive you're an illiterate loser because wade and i both read books you said a word sideways which i didn't think was possible you also got points for minimum bear and wherever and i gave you a point for let's go back a step take it back a step forward that gives mark a total of nine points off the rip which i gotta be honest i felt like i was giving mark more points but i think it was just more painful to give wade points because most of his were from thank you i was laughing i was laughing so much that it hurt and also my brain hurt anyway let's see how many bonus spins we have today i always get to feel so good about my success on this show two spinnerinos well that couldn't possibly be bad for me couldn't be no way i am going to add coolest illness since last episode you know who you're gonna give it to mark's crazy fever or my crazy heart it's probably the fever this time it's almost dying it's pretty cool we'll see if i make it back for next week otherwise i hope i get that point hey if you actually die i feel like that point's yours by default for the rest of eternity so that makes sense too bad bob you can't die you're immortal i know i put a point on the board i'll never get unbelievable uh spin number one of two and the words are so small i can't really tell what it's gonna be never mind i mean i can't tell if mark surviving a very serious uh illness is a demonstration of his will to live or the fact that you did not seek out any medical attention or even take your temperature when you were thought you had a severe fever is a demonstration of your lack of will to live i would have i would have really feel like we're just writing off my heart issues here but yeah that's fair i don't think there's a question of your will to live though you clearly you wanted to live you were concerned about living if mark's thing was a demonstration of his will to live i think he survived a potentially more serious situation and had more will to live i don't know that feels like a stretch if that's too close we can spin again but i feel like you're the judge my heart wants to give it to mark because i'm heavily biased towards him hey is that an insult to me because you said your heart yeah take that okay i mean that just ties us up so honestly that makes it worse for you in the long run i'll take it nothing bad can happen there's still another spin someone has to get a point it certainly won't be me or the listeners or viewers amy has a point potentially on here or something what about minus seven percent of one man show let's not do that oh oh shit none of us lied though a short joke point is not a live point is it no it's a separate thing is this it's a respin or no point well usually it's the judge's choice but i know which one i would prefer it to be i could tell you that oh mark hold on yeah mark you want to talk about this so we could uh it's only a 23 chance of a one-man show right now that's not that huge yeah it's only basically a one in four almost i mean i would 100% respin if it were me i'm gonna respin i don't know i was leaving my fail to you guys i don't want to do that okay it's the one that we fucking torture i think it's probably mark today isn't it oh wait yeah i think it's already a gimme actually yeah you you do kind of just blend into your oh but wait distractible poster blue oh but by quantity i think i think i i think i've got this yeah i think mark has that actually i don't think we oh those are like totally identical those are totally identical yeah it's definitely okay well point to mark which means mark wins yay the come the come from behind victory he deserves it oh i didn't even see you pull the camera i didn't even see you pull the camera i didn't recognize any of us saying that word we're not supposed to say unless we mean it during this episode but i'm sure it happened you should have made it one of the words we have to get to that'd been really funny oh that's a good idea it's way funnier than anything i put in my game i'll forget to do that when we do oxford 3002 uh anyway congratulations mark uh wade would you like to give your loser speech i want to say aspects and weakness very difficult words but i got there minimum and whatever the other words are i had to get to with mark bear and then that third one tough but we did it we did it wherever and i just i'm proud of us for succeeding in a very difficult challenge with some really difficult words that have at least two syllables so i leave today with my head held held hung my i'm hung and high you sure are man you sure are oh i meant to throw this in before mark before your winner speech your glorious winner speech i did want to give the context of those were all words from the original oxford 3000 video but i switched whose words were whomsts i think all the words that i had mark guessing wade previously had to guess and vice versa so those were all words we had previously dealt with not a single one of those came back to mind at all as i saw them yeah well i i thought on the long shot that one of you could remember free point for you because you deserve it mark winner's speech i am very happy to claim this win uh more for myself and less for my opponent because as the winner i naturally would be happy for myself and honestly that's the natural order of things um as you can see i read a lot of books and i know a lot of words and i use them sparingly which is a word i read in a book thank you for the win congratulations to mark you will thusly be hosting the next one make sure you check out distractible.shop there might be merch there there's probably merch there make sure you check out wade at lord minion777 or minion777 mark is mark plier i am my skirm
