Please Be Nice

In this episode of Distractable, Bob hosts and opens with small talk, revealing his recent focus on Five Nights at Freddy's, where he struggles with hand cramps and precise flashlight use, leading to discussions about esports techniques like hall effect keyboards and key rebinding. Wade shares his Pokemon card collecting obsession, noting retail-only purchases and grading inconsistencies, while also mentioning his foot injury that limits walking. This prompts Bob to create a bounty: both guests must suggest hobbies he can do without using his foot, and he'll try them, record with his GoPro, and award points to the winner. Mark proposes day trading, knitting, gooning, TI-83 games, bread making, and more, while Wade offers Pokemon fan games, Batman movie marathons, puzzles, and prank deliveries. After a series of humorous exchanges, Wade completes a bounty by changing shirts unnoticed, earning a point. In the final tally, Wade wins with 16 points to Mark's 14, partly due to Mark losing a point for insulting Bob. Bob announces he'll try Pokemon fan games like Emerald Rogue and PokeRogue, plus bread baking, filming everything with his GoPro. The episode ends with Wade set to host next time, and a promise of more distractions ahead.

Good evening, gentle listeners, or watchers, and welcome to the Stractable! This episode, Banger Builder Bob gets cramped claws, explains eSports, and asks for assistance, walk away raid pops, learn the lexicon of his deep deck daliant, then towns going rogue, and Mr. Wayne, matching Mark returns to FNAF, grubbs his meat, then talks clicks and keybinds, analysis, and needles, from gaming groans to Doomsday, it's time for "Please be nice, now sit back, and prepare to be distracted, and enjoy the show." Hello and welcome back to another episode of your favorite podcast. Right. That's right, it's Distractable. I'm your host, because I won the last one. My name's Bob, welcome, this is my episode, it's going to be great. Practically guaranteed, I only host Banger, so I'm pretty sure, so I recall, and I'm joined as always by the two competitors for today's episode, Mark sipping his fancy coffee mug and wade, something about a tapered coffee mug, it's just very elegant, and it's from the DMZ. I do have a beverage, it's Mandarin orange, that is not what that looks like to me, it's that flavored water, Mandarin orange, that's me, the GE is there, it is orange. Anyway, great, I have a drink too, we're all doing it, guys, if you've never seen this show before, it's a show where the points are all made up and matter, an incredible amount. There's also coin flips, it'll be funny, unless it's not, it's all kinds, everything. This show is all things to all people, and also nothing to nobody. Before we get into the topic for today's episode, how's it, how are you doing? You're getting a small talk? I have a small talk, I've been doing quite a bit of Five Nights at Freddy's. It is so weird to play it again, and it is so embarrassing how little strength I have anymore in my gamer hands, they're getting old tell, I've gotten better even over the past week, I've gotten stronger, but when I was first trying to do it because doing the custom night, 10/20 modes in this, you have to have really fast controlled motion, which requires you to basically be tense with your grip and press buttons very quickly and responsively, after even an hour of playing, trying to practice and doing the things, I was moving like an old man, a pound of meat in a tube, the tube of meat, and I've learned that that's a great roller for four arms, I put it on the countertop, and I just. Imagine between nights, you're wiping the braille, rubbing the meat. It's been really, really telling, but kind of fun, and also I have a little, not much more, but a little more respect for like streamers that play high competitive FPS's all day every day, because it's like, yeah, it's actually a workout or is it really, there was a time where I was playing for like an hour and a half straight, and because I was so tense up in my arms and shoulders, I started sweating, and I was like, it's 70 degrees, I have an air conditioner in here, and just like, what the fuck, holy, I've never had this ever in my life. But I literally got the slap tear playing a healer in an MMO, lost her, like, it popped while I was playing as a healer, we were doing this raid on repeat, we couldn't beat it. So like two hours of running this raid, I'm trying to heal everybody, and there's just this loud pop, and I'm just excruciating pain, and people are like, need a heal, need a heal, I was like, yeah, I'm trying to conscious the lot of pain one second, and I'm getting yelled at, so I'm not healing as well, and that's when I got the slap tear, yeah, gaming's no joke. When you're a teenager, early 20s, you got a mini fridge with like energy drinks, R-AGE, you got the freezer with the roll of meat next to your desk. I want to get like those, you can have like ice packs that you can wrap around, and I kind of will use them as wrist rests, because they've got beads in them, so it's like, they're kind of perfect beaded wrist rests. I've had to use one for my knee, you get one of those big ones, you put it in a pillowcase, yeah, just wrap that sucker. Have you gotten gamer hands, gamer cramp hands yet, Mark? That's the thing that I don't get injuries, but that's the thing my body likes to do. I'll be playing something super casual, like I'll stream for a few hours, and something really casual. I'm not even playing like fast paced, and then I feel fine, I'm like playing, playing, and then I stop playing, like I take a break or the stream ends, and then I lift my hands up, and my hands just go, and I like, can't move them for a minute, and I'm like, oh, shit, fuck, god, I forgot to drink water for the last month, fuck. That's like how I was when I burnt my hands. I haven't had that from playing games, but definitely when I burnt my hands, that would happen where periodically they would see right after the burn, of course, it was on the way to the hospital, so I'd be in the car, and I would just be like, oh, it's not so bad burns. Oh, man, that was glad that's over. It's so, it was this weird thing, I can't imagine going through that. That sounds absolutely miserable. What do you even, like you, you, you try to pass the time, you can like browse your phone. That's the part of you, you would use to do that, so that you're like slamming your head into your lap, like, next, I mean, honestly, it wasn't, I mean, it was a long time ago now, but like, it was kind of before scrolling on your phone was the thing to do, I feel like that was still in the era where it was like, oh, I'm going to go get on, on dig it and click around the internet. And you could kind of like, I'm going to go on Reddit, but it's old Reddit. It's different. It's not like it is now. But you probably just like watch, watch shows or something, right? I mean, it was, as a while ago, yeah, it wasn't, it wasn't the worst thing. I think that as soon as I got to the hospital, they made the mistake of putting the cuff on my arm for blood pressure, which all it does is squeeze blood down there. So they put that first. And I didn't question it. So I was just like, the machine goes, brand, I'm like, oh, no. Here it comes. Oh, no, until the doctor comes and takes one, looks and you know, it's bad when the doctor goes, yikes, you know, eyes bulge out like, you know, you have never seen the Scooby-Doo doctor. I'm glad she ripped up, put on my leg, which I didn't realize was a possibility. You could just put the blood pressure thing on your leg. So yeah. I imagine it's more accurate on your own, but good enough on the leg or something. I don't know. Yeah, probably. I understand that. My blood pressure probably isn't the biggest issue for me when I burn my hands. The doctor comes in, like shakes your hands, whoopsies. Looking great. High five. Oh, no, right. Sorry. Sorry. Do I touch the tickler? Oh, I'll just give him a clap on the shoulder. What do you got going on? I remember an orange guy. Pretty chill, actually. We had a nice chill weekend, uh, minimize social obligations for once, but doing a lot of Pokemon card hunting and opening, because I don't know, man, the hobby is, it's nice having a hobby, but my personality does not allow me to like dabble. I'm either all in on something or not in at all, and I know I'm like that. The gotcha era of my life taught me that. It's like, oh, I could just go for this one new unit and use some like SRs or rarest. I'm like, no, there's other banners. There's other super rarest. I could have a better team. Where is that 1% drop rate more like 0.76 I'm below the average, dude, I go, I go ham and the Pokemon cards I'm learning someone messaged me other day and they're like, hey, is this a good set to get a chaos rising? I was like, yeah, chaos rising is okay. And they're like, what about ascended heroes are prismatic, no, the pull rates are abysmal. Trust me. I've opened 10 million packs. And I'm like, dude, I went from not knowing anything about this to like advising people on the pull rates. I've gotten way too into this in two months. I'm glad I'm not like that as a person. I'm still, I'm definitely getting into Pokemon. I've decided I'm collecting pitch black because it's the newest one, it's a newest set that just came out and you can still get it on shelves. Boo, my whole stick, which I think I've told you guys is retail only. I've been looking and I've like, oh, Amazon sells Pokemon cards. No, it's like resellers and even the ones that are through Amazon are like clearly marked up. Like, I am buying two packs at a time every time I happen to be at a store that carries them. The ETB that I got was an accident. I went into a store, a Walmart to get like washer fluid and like random house shit, right? And I just happened to see a guy in line and wandered over and we were like, I'll take one of the four ETBs you have today that you just putting out and you have a security guard next to. Cool. ETB stands for Elite Trainer Box. It's the box of cards. Yeah. It's just a box has. Oh, sorry. Sorry, Mark. Sorry, Mark. I'm just laughing along. You know, he said something. Honestly, I only know what that one means. I swear to God, there's just a bunch of acronyms and anyone who talks about Pokemon who does it like, wait, does it? It's just like, oh, yeah, I got the asseted heroes, GRS and I got the, the, the three triple tin and blood. I'm like, what the fuck? What is all this shit? Like, it's the packs of cards, right? What am I missing? But there's a bunch of different ways that they're. Yeah. I know like SIRs, like the rarest ones are something and then I know conditions like NM is near Mint, LP, lightly played MP, moderately played HP, heavily played. It's like the condition. The more played it is, the worse the condition is. I know that lane go after that. I don't know. I don't want the lane go either. It will say if you, it's not new. I don't think if you want to be dissolutioned about your collection of Pokemon cards, you should watch Ludwigs video where he let chat by a bunch like, there's like $10,000 worth of cards. They like helped him pick stuff and they bought a bunch. And they were some of them, most of them were graded. Some of them were not. I think, or actually, I think they were all graded. But then he broke the case, sent them to tag to get graded, got a grade, broke the case, sent them to another place to get graded. and then sent them back to PSA 'cause a lot of them started out as PSA. And then I don't know what the statistical breakdown is, but they're all over the fucking place. Like it's just a harbiter. He had one, like he had one who was like, this was a PSA nine. And then these people gave it a six. And then these people gave it a seven and a half. And then it went back to PSA and they gave it a seven. So I just lost $1,000. And I paid them all for the privilege. Man, that's not a great investment, isn't it? - If you get a good grade, don't do that, leave it alone. - I've not sent any cards in for grading. - I kind of want to do it just to see how it works. But I've only opened 20 packs, a couple dozen packs total. I don't have anything that would be interesting to grade yet. I doubt that's gonna happen. If I don't go and buy from the card shops like in whatever indulge all the scalpers and people. - The card shops are all right. The scalping is rough. - I'm glad you have a new, it's gonna call an addiction, but that feels mean. - It kind of, I mean, you know. - I knew hobby addiction. - I had old sets from the '90s. Like I had the original, so it was called base, then jungle, then fossil, base to rocket, and then there were a couple other sets. I've got almost all of those completes. I just had them almost complete as a kid. So I've been trying to like find the few cards here and they're missing to complete those sets. And then I was working on Jim Heroes and Jim Challenge series, which is the end of the first era, I guess, of Pokemon cards. And there's like another, it's divided into like eras for some reason. I don't know, but all my old sets, I'm like, I kind of want to complete these and then, you know, new sets, I'm kind of like, I don't know if I want to complete them all. I'll just go for the cards I like and usually that ends up being the full arts cards, which means the whole card is artwork. So yeah, I've gotten, I've gotten pretty deep. - That sounds like it's good for you. - Yeah, well, it's something to do. We have, for my knees been going well. - Did you walk yet? - Yeah, actually pretty well. I'm even doing stairs without having to like brace. I was walking like I was, you know, 99 years old and on my deathbed for a little bit. - It seemed pretty bad. It seemed worse than just need some physical therapy. - I've gone about a week and a half with no brace, no knee brace, and moving pretty well in clients and stairs and sometimes they'll give me a shoe. The physical therapy started off with some of the easiest stuff. They're like, all right, lay your leg down. Now, straighten it. Do that 10 times and I was like, oh, hell yeah. Now we're at the point where they're like, all right, do 15 sets of 15 squats in the next 30 seconds. Wait, what? All right, cool. Now do 30 leg lifts, do it on your side. Do 30 more. Sean T from insanity comes out. - All right, bye! - What's up? - What's up, dude? - What's up, dude? - I think, yes, man, it's, I started off as like, Molly, this is so much easier. When I did physical therapy for my shoulder, it really hurt 'cause I had a tear. My knee's not torn, so this has actually been pretty good. And then last time I went, dude, my hip, I'm like, my knee's feeling better, but now my hip hurts from the physical therapy. - I can even get a more physical therapy for that. - So I've been watching, 'cause other people that come in for physical therapy, the same time as me, had had like hip replacements. So I'm watching their stretches, and I've been going home doing those, because I'm like, my hips hurt so bad from the PT, maybe I need the PT, my hip too. So I've been doing exercises for kind of both things, but other than physical therapy and card collecting, not a whole lot here, power wash too. Have you played the Star Wars DLC? - No, I have not. I've only been playing Five Nights of Reddies. - The sprays make like blaster noises. - Like constantly, or just like every time? - When you first click, if you're holding it, it doesn't. - If you like click, it's like, shoot, shoot, shoot. (laughing) This is a whole time you're holding it down. It's like a space battle. - Just like fucking chaos. - It's like, man, that's so relaxing. - Oh, it's so good. It's actually so good. Anyway, I think that's it for me. If there's more, I don't remember it. I got a little more, and then I'll let it go. It's, you know, nothing too crazy. Only GoPro is now dead to me. Again? - No, they were never dead to me. - Oh, okay. - No, this is, this is only moderately, moderately something. - There's only moderate death. - Only moderate death. - Only moderately dead to me. - Only mostly dead. - I've been, I, enjoying the, the mission one, it's been nice, Code Marta Blur. Sorry, Code Distractable. I apologize. - Oh, do we actually have that? That's a real thing? - Yeah, you've had that for weeks. - Okay, good, okay. - Oh, we've done so much good advertising for it. (laughing) - That's the thing, yeah. It's like eventually I'll record an actual review of it more. So they're dead to me, right? Because the ILS has been something I've been craving. I went to NAB, just to like try to get my hands on that. I have lenses I've already bought for that specifically. I'm so ready, I got adapters and everything. I'm so eager. I opened my Instagram and there's someone named - Gimbo God. - That already has it and has been given to it by GoPro. And I feel betrayed four days ago, four days ago. Watch it be like the CEO of GoPro. (laughing) - Marcela, I can't believe this guy got it before me. - I don't know, yeah, maybe who is? (laughing) - Lee, lead engineer on the ILS model of the GoPro mission. - This guy named GoPro owner got this GoPro before me. (laughing) Unbelievable, the betrayal. - No, no, I don't think it's him. I don't think so, no, no, no, wait, no way. - It's not Mr. Pro. - I feel like, you know, I'm right here. - I got my GoPro shirt, I've got a GoPro shirt on. - You've worn that like the last couple episodes. You've been consistent. - Have I? - Oops, this one shirt. - Well, no, you had a different one. Last, I feel like last time we recorded you had a different GoPro shirt. I just remember being like, oh, he's wearing the shirt. - Yeah, I do, but not anymore until I get an ILS. - Is there a release date for it? Is it eminent or is it one of those where they're not giving a hard date for it? - They've nebulously said Q3. So they just like got the last of the accessories for the baseline out. They just got the medium odd out finally and they got the, oh, it's gonna have a medium odd. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, and that's nice and all. That's nice, but really, I want the lenses. I want to be able to do the lenses. I love my little 3D printed macro adapter, but it's like, I have a dedicated macro lens waiting, multiple actually, macro lens as waiting to go on to the GoPro. I have them just, I've, I've talked about that for a while. I'll be right back. (laughs) - So I forbid anyone from using my promo code or distractables, we are a united front in boycotting until we get, I- - Until we you get the thing you want. - We want comrades. - Yeah, the royal we, me of it all, you know, the, me. - I feel like that's very fair. I feel like that's, that's on them. The solution is clear. There's, there's another thing that's been a funny thing. There's, when I've been doing five nights of Freddy's with this, you know, trying to beat it, I've actually had to do math. Dun, dun, dun, oh no. There is a certain amount of flashlight battery you have, which amounts to 50 seconds in the whole night, which, you know, average is out to a little over nine seconds per minute of game to use it, but the smaller you press the button, the less battery you use, right? So I use the 960 frames per second mode to burst me pressing control to learn how bad I am at pressing this throughout the game. It can only do like 10 seconds at a time, but I'll play and I'll do kind of the pattern that I do for flashing. And I'm like, holy shit, I am holding that down so much more than I think. I think I press it three times. I looked at myself in slow motion. I was just holding it for three times and you see my knuckle go like, eh, eh. But my finger is down on the button the whole time. And I'm like, I had no idea, holy shit. So for a sign, you're gonna need a hall effect keyboard to get this shit under control. Oh, that's the Van Gogh Pikachu. I've seen that. I've seen that, that's a fancy one. Wait, 'cause I've been looking for a keyboard that has a lighter touch, 'cause the problem with this one is it's, I thought it being clickier would be better, but there's a lot of force needed to press it down. And once it's down, it doesn't really spring back up with a lot of, I'm not like a keyboard expert, but I do know, I think it's hall effect switches, but it may be some other technology. There's a kind of keyboard where you can literally calibrate the moment in the travel where it triggers and where the rebound is, 'cause with mechanical switches, like it's a switch, right? You push it down and it goes click and it doesn't unclick until it travels back a certain amount. You can't adjust that. There are keyboards where that is calibratable where it's literally like, you could set it to the lightest touch triggers it, but then the rebound is like at a specific height, so you could have, you could absolutely min-max your like flashlight. - That would be so nice. And I know it's a bit kind of like, it's try hard to do it, but the thing is like, this keyboard is, I imagine every crazy FPS person has that and the mouse. - It is, I do know of that because of the Valorant and CS2 competitive scenes is where it's like heard about it. So it's definitely like an esports thing. - The annoying thing about it is you can't rebine the key. So in five nights of Freddy's 2, the flashlight is control. You can't change that to anything else or I would change it to the other mouse button which is not used. Right click is not used. - Wait, but you can rebine the keys through your keyboard mouse software. It, through, I use Logitech for everything. So, well, except for this keyboard, but I generally use Logitech. So on my gaming computer, you can set any button you want to be any input you want and you can set buttons on your mouse to be keyboard inputs. So you can't rebine it in game, but you could set it. So your right click is a left control input while you're playing five nights. So you could switch that to an optimal. - 'Cause you can click so much faster than you can ever press a button. Clicking is, it's the leg's little, it's so fast. - Wait, Mark, I have a theory that I would love you to try. You can bind key presses to your scroll wheel. So if you just flick the scroll wheel, like you just go like, it'll be like, Like every little. notch will be a press. So you could literally just be like, look, I'm not beating the cheating allegations if I do that. This is just rebinding things. This is just using what's available. This is not hacking the game file. Okay. We're going to go back and they'll be like, oh, well, this person be 2020, 2020 mode using the legit controls. Markery bound is flashlight. Or you could do, you could do the mouse technique that I think a lot of RTS players do. There's a certain kind of tape you can put on your fingers. And then you like, when you're using your mouse, instead of clicking, you like flick and drag and that stickiness of the tape makes it like bounce. And that's how RTS players get like several hundred inputs a minute of like constant just like fucking clicking at a thousand clicks a second kind of bullshit. Also not cheating totally allowed any sports. I feel like that's pretty legit. In the game, if you, the thing is you don't need to click a lot, you just need to click really small when you need to click. So you're not clicking all the time. You're just like, when you're going through the cameras, you got to go and click at the same time that you're left clicking. So if I could have it to my mouse, then it would be at the same speed. I could basically just go, you know, one after another and be really quick. But, you know, look, I can help you. I'll be your coach. I don't I think about five minutes of Freddy's, but I know all kinds of stuff about competitive video games that I've never been able to do myself. We're going to have Torbett coaching, FNAF coaching. Can I get coached on Bald or something? I don't know. What do I do? If my esports coach put me in and the championship in high school, we would have won state. I've never been able to let that go. I've gotten to five AM multiple times. The problem is my power right now. So it's like, if I can quick and speed up my flashlight press by like 15%. That's all I need. I would make it to the end of the night. Even 10% might get me there. Rebinding right play to control might totally save your ass. You could totally do it. It's probably native to what you use Corsair or I don't know. It's a razor mouse. It's been so long since I've played is it started 10 PM or midnight midnight to six AM. So it's like, I'm in the last hour and I run out of power that's happened about 10 times now. And I've gotten better at it. But it's still it's so hard in the panicky moments to not, you know, flash hard. That's I cannot wait for Mark to redo his bathroom. He's like, I had to rebuild the 2015 computer. I'm using my toilet for power. I have to have a flush it in order to get the cooling going so that the perfect refresh rate from 2015 is back. There's a quirk in the game where if you flush your toilet, it creates a magnetic spiral that will affect your computer to give you perfect RNG each time. Yeah. Get wait. I'm excited for that video upload. This is unrelated, except for the kids' privacy theory part. On TikTok, I keep getting served videos from this person. And I can't tell if it's completely serious or if it's just a bit and it's going over my head, but it's the videos are all called like onto lattice hoverboard attempt number 13. Great success. And then it's a guy with like a little tech tech skateboard on a desk. It's just to close up video and it has a bunch of shit taped on it and he just keeps going. Oh, that was a really good one. Like he's trying to get it to be a hoverboard. And I keep showing up and every time I see it, I get a little bit more paranoid about if our existence is real or if the timelines are overlapping or something, but I hope it's a bit in my heart of hearts. I feel like it's a bit, but also what if he's on to something or on something might be might be. Anyway, if you need eSports tips, Mark. I got on your back, man. I got it. We can do this. I'll help you with your Pokemon card collection, Mark. If I help you, can I be can I be like the gesture of five nights at Freddy to your camera? Can I be the Duke of five nights at Freddy? Can you can you like give me a Lordship? You'll have a fiefdom. Perhaps a manor? Yeah, I guess you need a without a Duke can't have not have a manor. So can I be a cattle? Just in general or? Yeah, just in general. You can be one of my cattle. I'll make you a cattle. All right. I'm not going to do anything to help you get some nap. I'll just be a cow if that's cool. At the end of the season, we'll quarter you up and put mostly in the freezer and then it'll be delicious. Oh cow version of oats. I know what that means. Oh, you mean the big big. I'm really banging on all cylinders today. I will get the segway point. Wade could get the segway point and maybe I'll give it to you because feel stupid to give it to myself. But can I just say my foot is messed up. I complained about this last time. It's still messed up. It's potentially going to take a couple months to heal all the way up. Months. What'd you do? I'm a big fucking open wound on the bottom of my foot. Well, yeah, I know, I don't know if you ever told us what caused it. Poor foot care. Horror foot care. Poor. Oh, I thought you said horror. Broke ass foot care. It's not that crazy. It sounded like what he said. Yeah, I hired a hooker. She really messed up my foot. Maybe I was insulting the brand of products I was using. Those horrors messed up my foot. God damn, Saravie. I would never talk bad about you, Saravie. Best. I love you guys. I know Saravie. That's a Pokemon. I don't know, Saravie. Or Saravie. People say what I think is wrong. Anyway, it's just a brand of skin care products, but they're very good. They have very good, unscented lotion. My foot's all fucked up. At a point in time where what I want to do most in my free time is drive to all the stores in my area and see if they have any of the Pokemon cards on the shelf for retail that I can buy because I can't order. If I could order them online, I wouldn't. Anyway, my foot's messed up. I'm not supposed to be walking, so stay off as much as possible. And that is the topic of today's episode. I need your help. And I know we've done this a lot in the past, but the premise on this one is a little bit different. I need your help. Each of you is going to suggest to me things that I can do to entertain myself without having to use my foot. But I'm going to pick the top thing that each of you ends up offering me. And I'm going to do them in the next week. And who is whoever's thing I prefer in actually, and I'm going to record myself on my GoPro mission one, even though they're dead to mark. I'm going to record myself doing them and then give you feedback. And whoever's I like the most, that's a bounty. The bounty is give Bob Hobbies that will keep him entertained because I try. I was like, I can't really give you point whoever wins because I'm keeping points. Whoever wins this, I can't give someone points next week when I'm not the host, presumably I won't be. But I feel like I can create a bounty, right? Is this okay? Is this within the guidelines? Is everyone okay with that? So I want to create this bounty and I am going to do whatever it is we come up with. I'm going to do it both of your ideas for the next week. And then as fair and honestly as possible, pick who gets the bounty points in the next episode. I have this titled in my notes as please be nice because I immediately was like, we can we always do like fuck ass things to each other. And it's always like, oh, well, I need to I need to wash my car help. And we're like, well, piss on it. And then rub some sheet in there and polish it up. I'm going to do this. Please. I have marked this is our chance. We could go real hard on them. Remember that sour challenge he was too sick to do. We could. That's not a hobby. Your hobby is eating sour shit. Just eat sour candy for three three hours. But anyway, the floor is open. I feel like you guys know me pretty well. You know, I like, you know, what I like. I like tech. I'm recently into about all these things. But I would like suggestions. It could be stuff that you enjoy. It could be things that you feel like I might enjoy. It could be anything. It could be something none of us know anything about. I will try it as long as it conforms to. I'm supposed to walk as little as possible. I can go places. If it's like, I need to go somewhere and walk inside and sit down. I can totally do that. But wait, you look pregnant. With an idea. Oh, thanks, man. I mean, working on that. Well, you don't look pregnant with a baby. So I feel like that was obvious. We got help me out. So this one's more something I've really enjoyed. I've been getting more into you're getting into the Pokemon cards. So whenever I started looking into the cards, whenever I started to get back into Pokemon in general, even I so I played every mainline Pokemon game except for like Gen 3 when it first came out because that was just a phase of my life where I thought it was too cool for Pokemon or something. And after Gen 5, like black, white, black, too white. So I kind of like, I'm not really enjoying the games quite as much anymore. And then looking at the cards and stuff, it's like, I don't have a connection to any of the new Pokemon. I don't really give a shit about any of their games. One of the ways I've really gotten a feel for enjoying more variety of Pokemon and getting more appreciation is through some fan-made Pokemon games. There's been some really crazy fan games and like, from hacks that have been a lot of fun. There's one called Emerald Rogue, which turns Pokemon into like a rogue like. And it's really fucking difficult. I feel like challenges. It's really hard. Poke Rogue, I think I've told you about Poke Rogues like a web browser game. You can play it on your phone, you can play it on your tablet, computer, whatever. It's just a web browser. That one's also challenging, but it gets easier over time because every time you catch something, you have a chance of starting with it the next time. You can lower cost to have more things on your team. Like it'll make sense as you get into it. I still play Poke Rogue. I've been dabbling in it for forever. And out of a thousand 25 Pokemon, I'm missing four total in my decks. Like I've almost completed the full decks at this point. Good gravy. But I mean, I play half hour to an hour increments and it's like, okay, and I'll come back. Can you play that on mobile? I feel like I've seen you play it on like your phone or your iPad or something. Yeah, yeah. Poke Rogue, you can. And some of the fan games you can't, like the Romhacks, you can as well. I still recommend owning the game, right? Like I own, I don't download games, I don't own. So like I'll own Pokemon Emerald before at least something like that. Some of the fan games are also really good. There's Pokemon Unbound and I just started one called Pokemon Rejuvenation. Rejuvenation increases the shiny rate. So you can shiny hunt. It's like a 1 in 100 chance of getting a shiny instead of 1 in 5,000. You could just restart for 20 minutes and get a shiny starter if you want. I just started streaming that one recently. And I've been having a lot of fun with it. Interesting. Different Pokemon fan games and stuff. I think one are more fun than a lot of the mainline games have been lately. And you can play them a lot of them on mobile. Some of the fan games you can't because they're not. You can do it on Android. Maybe you're an Android guy. I can't do it on iOS. But those give me a new appreciation for a lot of the Pokemon. So I see the cards. I'm like, oh, here's this Pokemon. I didn't give a fuck about it. But like, now I do because it helped me and poke a rogue a lot and stuff like that. So I think it makes it more fun. I could do that. I like video games. And they're really fun and interesting games. Some of them have like their own versions of Pokemon that called fake them on. Like they'll make their own regional variants or their own Pokemon, which I was kind of in on it first. But I'm also like, oh, those are kind of cool. Now, go to suggestion. Mark, you look like you're pregnant too. Yes, I am, Bob. Have you ever considered day trading? I have actually, but now I'm not saying it's for everybody, only for the bravest among you, right? You don't even need to understand what you're buying. You don't need that. You don't need any research. You just need to look at charts, right? Yeah, there's something, I forget the name of it, but it's like the study of the chart is all you need to know about the future. Just like, you know, you take a bunch of animal bones and you shake them in your hand, you go, and you're like, ah, I see the future. It's not what witches do among other people, not just witches, but you know, I'm just saying in general, which is small children. Lots of people do it with where do you think pick up sticks came from? It used to be pick up bones. And then people started learning the truth and not picking them up because you have to be able to see, to understand. Exactly. So all you need to do is get some fancy lines, get a marker, get a, get an erasable monitor right or something like that, or you could have your phone, you could do on your phone too. I was like, well, you mean a whiteboard? No, you feel like a monitor. I could draw on. I guess you could just get a dry erase marker, you know, but it's like a zoomer being like, yeah, it should make something as like an erasable monitor. You could write on it, but then you wipe it. Is it an erasable monitor? Is that what that's called? Remember pencils and paper in the old days, man. No, you got to see it on the chart. What are you going to have in your chart on the paper? You got to draw the chart each time. No, you got to just start drawing lines and stuff. Yeah, you're just trying to scrape that little bit of profit every time. Boom, boom, boom, boom. Is this the kind of thing we need to wear a dress shirt with the sleeves rolled up and unbuttoned on the top and you look a little sweaty and disheveled and you have like the tie on that's also partially undone. I'll make my Charlie from its always sunny room with the red yarn on the board and I'm, yeah. Actually, I forgot, I forgot in crucial detail, you need six monitors or nine, depending like six or nine. I know. I know. So round by charts by here, sell here, buy here, sell here, buy, buy, sell, sell. Don't even need your feet. Does day trading include Forex? I'm going to say yes. I don't know what that means. Well, because Mark got kind of into Forex a little bit when we were in college and I was always really jealous because I didn't have any money, but you were like showing me the charts and stuff and be like, look, this is a, this is a J hook and this is, this one's going to be a rebound. I was like, God, that does sound fun. I would do that if I had any dollars at all for everyone at home. This was a long time ago when I was very dumb. Don't do this. It wasn't a period when you were also like hunting for shit to care about because like you're, it was in college. Like everyone does stuff in college. No, I, this was before any of my health stuff. It was, it was like software or something like that junior, I can't remember, but I do remember one trade going bad and me sitting in like a public bathroom looking at my phone just hyperventilately. Oh, fuck. Oh, fuck. Oh, fuck. Oh, go back up. Oh, no. So I learned my lesson and I don't do that. But you could. Yeah, I think I think you're saying that I should. But my grandpa used to delve into like whenever I turned 11, he was like, all right, son, you're too old to get toys. So we're going to give you a stock. And I was like, okay, grandpa, but like this new video game sounds really no, new video game. We're going to buy stock in Chiquita. And we put like a hundred dollars in Chiquita, banana and like it boomed. And we went from a hundred to like a thousand. And he was like, all right, now we're going to take that out. We're going to dump it all into Ford motor company and then Ford like fucking crashed and we lost it all. We're going to let it run. So I went from like, oh, God, grandpa, I got a thousand. I could buy like a new bicycle. He's like, no, we're putting it into Ford and Ford just hanged. I mean, he's like sometimes you lose, son. I was like, I just wanted the new. It couldn't have gone to zero though, right? Because because Ford's still around. So no, I might it might even still exist. I might need to do one of those recovery things where like, oh, yeah, I've got stock and something from like you never sold it. So you never lost. Yeah. That that worth that's still worth the exact same amount that it was when you put it in because it's, you know, you don't have to, you don't have to convert that. You have to do the new value until you transfer it again. Yeah. I got like one share of stock a year for like three years. I'm sure I'm rich now if I look at it. What was this like 1942? Well, how do you think? You know, I have suspicious answers. What was a stock market invented? I'm assuming it was soon after that. Were these physical pieces of paper handwritten or are they printed with a printing press? Okay. I see where it went down. If it was like 2001 or something and then it went down, it has not recovered since then. So you've got the same amount. All right. I still got my three shares at $1 piece. But if there's dividends, if there's dividends, you might actually have a good amount of money. I remember back when I was alive during the dust bowl and the great depression and things were like rock bottom. I was like, Oh, buyers market everyone. And they were begging for bread. Good times. Good times. Was this an online thing though? Or did you like literally, did you like have a paper thing? Oh, my grandpa with, we had the good old windows like XP computer. We go to like some website, I think. And we get the letters in the mail from, I don't know, whoever. It's been years. I mean, honestly, you should look just because I'm curious. But I don't know. I don't know how that works. I don't know. Have you ever looked at unclaimed property? No, because I don't know if that works for stocks. But like, you know, there's like, there'll be cash in your name and the unclaimed property thing. If you like, search on the state records or something. I've got a few rich uncles somewhere in the Middle East that I got emails from over the years, but I've not looked at unclaimed cash. Uncle Prince. Yeah. You have the same one. Yeah. We all have Uncle Prince. That's my uncle. He's king now. He was formerly known as Prince. Oh, I see. Anyway, that's my idea. I like that. And Wade, if you don't find those shares of stock, I will never forgive you. Yeah. It says their dividend is like 4%. I don't know if it's always been that, but if that was like 20 years ago, that's a lot of money. Wade finds his three shares of stock and the people at Ford are like, ah, fuck. Shit. I bet we thought he died. God damn it. He actually owns the company now. I come back in here. I'm just wearing a higher crown. Boys, it's me. King Ford. God, he really understands the companies. You should be in charge. You're the guy, man. They get this is what they get for getting doing away with the tire crown. My axle rod scepter, my tire crown. Look, I'm still mad at Ford because they're going to discontinue the weft 150 lightening. So you get over there and you give them up for I'll tell them, man, I'm going to go over and I'm going to give them the what for I own that company now. Two strong suggestions. We might just end the episode there and I'll just pick those because those sound very good. But let's not though. Wait, what else should I do to fill my sad, sad time when my foot doesn't? I mean, it hurts a little. It's sore. You know, it's like, God, come on, foot. Doesn't hurt that bad. But I'm so sad about it. And I'm stuck stuck in here. I don't know how you feel about these. But this is something I personally want to do because I've not watched these in forever. I want to do a Batman movie marathon where I go back and I watch even like the old like all the Adam West. I've never watched those. I might go back that far, but at least like, you know, the 80s, 90s, like Batman, Batman forever, Arnold Schwarzenegger, freeze and up through the Nolan's and then a Pattinson's Batman. I've also never watched the Penguin series. But anyway, I used to love Batman as a kid. That was like my favorite superhero. So I got super into it and my dad and I used to watch. So I kind of just want to go back and rewatch all those to see how they all hold up because I've got memories of like Christopher walk into one of the Batman movies. And I'm not seeing it since I was a kid. So I'm like, who was he? But I feel like whenever I picture him, I combine him with like, was it Marv from home alone? Like the study gets shocked. I feel like they're the same. Like those images are blurred my mind. I'm like, I must see this movie and sort out the memories. I want to do a Batman movie, my marathon. So maybe maybe you'd enjoy like a movie marathon of one of your old favorite franchises or Batman or something. Oh, it doesn't have to be Batman necessarily. Well, that's the one I'm suggesting specifically. But like, I don't know if Batman's for you. I mean, I do love generally. I love the dark night trilogy. And I like Batman as far as is for someone who doesn't care that much for superheroes in general. Batman's definitely near the top of the list where I'm like, I watch Batman knitting. You might genuinely enjoy knitting. You boring piece of shit. You look like someone. Oh, man, wait a minute, I heard points. I had to keep it through. Jesus look like you need the thrill. Two knitting needles and constant movement. I wonder how many people that watch this knit and they're just so angry right now Threatening you with their needles dude a lot a lot of them are probably coach crocheting But a lot there's so many times. I'm sure you guys know at the podcast where you'll start a sentence and you go You'll be like it'll be really funny if you say this instead. It's gonna cost you dearly It's gonna cost you but our anyway, but knitting knitting It's you know, it's a very relaxing and you can do it while watching other things It's something where you're working with your hands and you do need to pay attention a little bit but it's more forgiving then say like crocheting or There's a I think there's a meme between like knitting and sewing or knitting and something else where it's like you can just Accidentally whip up an entire sweater. I'm not sure if it is knitting or which one's easier I'm not sure which one's easier, but honestly Mandy has crochet stuff and has crocheted things So I don't I I couldn't I could maybe order some knitting needles or something, but like we have like some yarn and shit I could use. Oh, yeah crocheting is one hooked needle Knitting is two sticks knit one pearl to whatever the fuck that means and crocheting is just crochet crochet That's the you have to say it out loud every time crochet It's like bingo. It doesn't count if you don't say it out loud If I do that line you didn't say crochet. Well, you do specifically mean knitting. Yeah knitting I think knitting could be fun. You could get into it and it's just a repeatable pattern as far as I know and you can kind of Amosly do it while watching your movie marathon I could get all this out of the way all at once and I don't have to do any of this stupid shit you guys are telling me to do and you could Daytraded at the same time With my one good foot. I'm over here day trading like a madman Yeah, exactly. You just time the trades to when you get to the end of a line is like you buy or sell at the end of it And so you just leave it up to fate because honestly random chance would be better. Is it ding like a typewriter when you get to the end of the line We're gonna be rich. We're gonna make smart needles with a speaker in it that know when it's at the end of the line It just brings back all the classic like 90s noises like you've got mail Yeah, you can customize your needles to give you whatever noises you want. You're so right. You started that so confidently like it would be related at the Oh, yeah, I relate to what I said don't you know how we sell $700,000 in product in the first six months AI powered knitting needles Oh my god, I to tell when it's time for you to move to the next row Boom everybody loves AI everybody wants it in everything It's a I was real. We didn't have some really shitty versions of V. I may you know, hey, I's not real. It's real in the way that language works Well, we call it AI but like in the technical historical definition of artificial intelligence. We're not really reached that yet We have just really shitty virtual until I agree with him I really I like the mass effect definition of like virtual intelligence better than what it currently is I like that a lot. Well, do you have any more ideas that you want to throw out? So another thing from my childhood. I used to love doing jigsaw puzzles But not only are there normal jigsaw puzzles right the hundred piece thousand piece whatever There was a puzzle. I did as a kid. It was like four different puzzles that was like jungles can it be Jungle like floor bottom like the planes and I figured though they're like a river or something and once you built each one of these You could take off the outside lines and put them together and it was one big puzzle that made one image It was just really cool on top of that. There were like the 3d puzzles so my grandpa and I built like a house one time Or it was just a little foam puzzle pieces and you put it together It was like this little house and stuff. I got a lot of satisfaction out of doing puzzles as a kid I'm not done one in a while, but I kind of had to itch to do one and I guess if I was off of my feet for a while That'd be another thing I'd want to do is some kind of combo jigsaw puzzles if I get a puzzle and then invite you over and have you do it for me Does that count as me doing it? It's like watching a let's play like did you did you have a gaming experience by watching Someone else play the game for you. I mean, I guess so. Yes. I've I've played many games that way. Yeah, I mean I guess I would count To clarify there's absolutely no feet at all possible Like I can walk I can walk short distances. I can I it's not like I can't stand up I can walk around the house and I can go as long as I'm not wandering around a grocery store. I can walk like this is perfect No, no, this is perfect. Okay. Alright, so you couch you go to your cupboard you grab a Box of Kleenex, right? And you bring over you go to your wherever your laptop is you grab that you go to your bathroom or whatever grab bottle of lotion Okay, you're gonna need all these you put one on the other one side one the other open up your laptop type in Hit enter and just start clicking it's the most fun. You can have with your hands and eye feet I don't want to see this redeem happen, but like I guess it's true It's on there. It's on the list for consideration. I forgot. These are going on the bounty Here's a video of me looking at porn guys. Hey, that'll be a hell of a bouncy if we Very desperate need points to win like nail bite or end of the season. That's a bounty to pull I never thought we would top the piss yourself for win, but here we are Listen if this podcast ever gets that high stakes, it will be there exactly as described I didn't I didn't say anything else. I just said you were just saying to watch porn and have those things within reach Some laptops are real dry So you got to keep your hands moisturized to use your mouse and keep what I get you absolutely I've been you only my it's been real dry around here, too And you ever just see B-O-O-B-I-E-S that just bring a tear to your eyes You need to Kleenex to like dab the tears like as to the only word I ever spelled on calculator So I'm assuming I'll come across some interesting, you know, like retro collectible calculators potentially as well Which I have another idea to is it Wade's turn or should I just go straight up? There aren't any turns go Mark Okay, all right, so you go on eBay you get yourself a classic T.I. 83 plus silver edition You go to wherever the hell there's the drug trader game You go to get the Dragon Ball Z RPG game get those installed on T.I. 83 You'll have the best time of your life games on T.I. 83 just hit different somehow They they they they weren't the most graphically intense, but they were the most satisfying to play We play in games and math class on the T.I. 83 plus it was like snake and forget one other game Those get that was like if you were in class It was like the most fun thing you could ever do and look at my like those games fucking suck Man, instead of doing work those games were at the study hall. Oh God. Yeah play video game And then you got the cable you can share with someone like I do that. That's a mafia game I wrote you got to find the person who has the cable so you could share the files across because you got a you got to make Sure you have all the coolest shit man You do you imagine do you think you guys if if I told you I'm gonna pay you like $10,000 if by tomorrow You can have a programmed version of those games without using any kind of AI or anything like that Do you think you could do it like you could you could learn the programming and search up the commands to create like the mafia Drug trader game or something like that well probably because like if there's things like RPG maker and stuff out there There's got to be something some template you could use but on the T.I. 83 like I don't even know what language is programmed in What is it? No, my brain would not work that way. I would try but I think realistically I could not make that happen No, you even go back and run a term one of those things on would be an achievement for me today much less there's a big button labeled on That's a start. You didn't have one of the pool court One of the hand crank ones like the weather radios see their class is like Test everyone like cranking it every stop because if you stop everything falls out of memory if you want to see what you're working on You got a you got a crank endlessly. I was I jealous of the kids who had the chest harness where you only need one hand to crank and you could use your other hand for stuff This is like one of those one-man band where the harmonica is but they go Didn't crank they got a little monkey actually cranked their T.I. 83 to hit enter on the calculator You're like take kick your leg shenter. Oh, but you can't use your leg. I can use my feet. I could use my leg. All right. It's another idea one-man band Drum on your back get symbols get a harmonica get whatever they'll sell he had he had the one guy that one man What did he have in his band go back relic into old albums like CDs from the 90s 2000s like actually pop out the old CD player I thought you were just gonna let mark rack up the points with no he was starting to I'm like no I can't let this happen old gaming consoles go play like Nintendo try to beat like Super Mario again I do have an n64 right there. I'm thinking even older I think like Sega Genesis or Super Nintendo but okay if if If you know those automatic bread makers. I have one of those. I think how long do you think it would take you to make one like the loaf to prepare to put in there Uh, it's pretty easy actually you pretty much just dump the shit in it doesn't take very long at all like ten minutes, right? Like yeah, like less than ten minutes easy. All right cool by 12 you start one put it in start the other put it in Start the other put it in by the time you get to the end the first one's done put that out Set it aside make another one put it in you have a bread making empire you start your own business of making bread Artisanal bread opposite you get a bunch of people's addresses and you go find random stuff I'm like different shipping apps like door dash whatever And you find things that don't really make sense and you ship it to different people and whatever they give you reactions you laugh. But you get to watch the things be delivered. so you know when the reactions coming from whatever you're sending them. Wouldn't you call that Prank Deliveries? Yeah, Prank Deliveries. Even better, you become a door-dash middleman. You find people that want to make a door-dash order. They order with you instead. You then order through door-dash for them to their house. You make a cut and your discretion business. You could scale this up to thousands. No, I like that because I think there are people, specific people from maybe from older generations who are like, "I wish I could just call someone on the phone." You know, I could be the door-dash phone service where they could just call me. They'll talk to me, real person, and then yeah. You become a door-dash bottom man where you find things you want on door-dash and have them delivered to you. Well, I already do that. That's not really a new hobby. Well, it could be if you go ham and buy things you haven't bought before. Hey, look, I've bought some silly stuff on door-dash, okay? Not crazy, but I did buy a hedge trimmer on door-dash one time. I bought an umbrella for a wedding on door-dash ones. For the bride. Umesday device. You do a lot of research into nuclear bombs and you figure out a way to get fissile material to your house. Start assembling it into an implosion device and then you have a nuke. The journey is the reward. No, it's not about the angle. You get the most luxurious floatation device, what's supposed to look like? Float and you spend your days floating around a pool just like sipping on drinks and browsing your phone and like the most elaborate comfy float you can find. I like that. There's an aspect of danger to that because I can't get my leg wet because it's fully wrapped up to my knee and stuff I'm not supposed to get wet. So it'd have to be, I have to just actually get a boat. I love boat. If I get a boat, you come over, you hang out in the boat with me in the pool. Even crazier, we open some really expensive Pokemon cards while floating on the water where the cards nor you can get wet. We could call it Drippy Rips. Drippy Rips? I don't like that name, but I love the idea. Just call me Captain Drippy Rip. I got it. You impersonate Reddit comment bots. You start commenting on random subreddits in the same cadence that the bot replies do also say in, but in your official account. So you start really confusing people. Everyone thinks you're a bot, but you know in your heart of hearts that you're a human, and therefore you get enjoyment out of it because you're tricking everybody. It's the ultimate ruse. You can really freak some people out too. So I think I'm a bot and I can just respond and be like, get a camera and like a little microphone. You can strap to your shirt and start filming yourself. Pretending to be like a news anchor. And you just make up whatever news stories you want. But you post them to a new YouTube channel. And you post them as if they are completely real. And see how many people think the Euroligit news organization and start buying into whatever stories you make up. Probably a lot. World's first internal live stream. You swallow a camera that is live stream capable. You have a feeding tube placed in. Use that not for feeding, but for having the power wire to go through. And then it's a con. Never mind. This is going to be some fetish bullshit. We'll call it the go-no. I have to I retract my statement entirely. It's written down. You can't retract it now. That guy's got his tissues and his lube. What's he? It's about to hit the small intestine. We're in Mars. I'll call it magic school bus live. Be like nostalgia. The sound to the sound is just my gut squirreling and the faint muffled me just singing the song like, and Lizzie's there. It's great. Oh yeah, Lizzie here. I think that's enough. What's the option you got to pick? Yeah, I think I have things to pick from. And I have to do these things. And they'll probably be great. Probably question before we start doing points. Do we do bounties now? Do we do bounties after you tabulate points? I actually did one for once. You did a bounty? What the fuck? Yeah, so remember when we turn them in. I was about to jump to points, so now is fine. On the official bounty board. Number eight. Change shirts mid-episode without anyone noticing. I started off with this. And now I'm here. That's very impressive. I didn't notice at all. I did that. I was like, I literally was like this. I was like, what is the laziest possible bounty I could pick? And I was like, change shirts. I wasn't even thinking to defend from a you bounty because I assumed you would never do one. I hadn't, you guys both have done one. I was like, I'm gonna get at least one on the board, so I'm at least say I've done it. That's good, that's good. I did it, guys. That's completely legit. I don't know if it's worth anything other than like a point, but like I did it. I ask this every time it comes up, is it one point or two? It's one point. I think it's host discretion. It's like one to three or two to three or whatever. I think one point for changing a shirt is adequate for me. I think we were supposed to separate out the difficult ones and rank them as like, it should be like based on difficulty. But I feel like he did well because it's a completely different colored shirt than we really should have noticed. I tried to make it where it like, it wasn't like, oh, okay, you went from like dark red, I was like, okay, let me do something that would actually-- Wait, so did you have that Pokemon card already or was that just part of the ruse? Oh, I was part of the ruse, baby. So you did it just get that though? So that's some of my excitement about-- Well, I did just get it, but not today. But it's really cool, isn't it? It does look cool. I can't believe they got Van Gogh to make a Pokemon card. It's the only thing he ever did in his life, right? I don't know what else was he known for other than Pokemon cards. Dying, I guess. I showed this to Molly and her response was, "Why does it have two ears?" Ha, it's not him as Pikachu, geez. Anyway, that's it, that's my, that's my bounty. I know it's a crazy, amazing one, but I did it. Well, wait, wait, wait. It gets an extra bounty point. Yeah, I gotta tell you, my thought-- You guys were talking about like, Mark was talking about lenses and stuff as I go, okay, this is something he's really passionate about. He'll be really focused. I'm gonna leave. They're not gonna give an absolute fuck. I'll come back. I'll have something distracted with. And they'll have no idea. It's true. I'm shocked. I assumed Wade would just never engage with that at all. It's the only one you're ever gonna do. I'm pretty sure, but you've officially done as many as both Mark and myself. You've only done one, right, Mark? Who, I think? Oh, well, it wasn't me. I've definitely only done one. Yeah, I got the picture of Chica in a shirt and then I did play the games during the-- That's right, you did the games in the background. Sorry, I just realized I'm insane and I skipped a bunch of pages in my score notebook for no reason whatsoever. I mean, three, four pages, but still. Anyway, points. In no particular order, Wade, you earned points for injuring yourself while playing in MMO, becoming fully addicted to Pokemon, injuring yourself during physical therapy to heal your other injury. How version of Oats reference? You got the segway points for Pokemon. Oh, you also got a point for being alive during the Dust Bowl. And then your recommendations were Pokemon fan games, Batman or other movie marathon puzzles, relisting to old albums, play all the video games, which I feel like it's kind of the same as the Pokemon one, but I guess those are new fan games and not those new. Whatever. Prank Delivery Service. Just order myself stuff on DoorDash. Drippy Rips, Fake News. Leaving you with a total of 15 plus one bounty point. Yeah, you got the bounty for changing your shirt. Giving you 16. Mark, you earned points for your gamer hands. Your tube meat medical treatment. Go pro being dead to you, but only kind of dead. Grinding FNaF, like a true gamer. Being receptive to my esports knowledge and coaching. You recommended that I do day trading or knitting. You insulted me, which did lose you a point for calling me a boring piece of shit worth it. You said that I should try Gooning, TI 83 plus. You said I should be a one-man band. You said I should make bread kind of. You said I should make a DoorDash middleman business. Doomstay device, internal livestream, and become a Reddit bot. You got 15 points minus one for boring piece of shit. Leaving you with a total of 14 points to Wade's 16 points. If you hadn't insulted him, that bounty would have really just given me a little edge. It was so worth it, though. I really can't overstate. You had to do it. I know exactly how that feels. We haven't spun the tie wheel in a while. That's what I'm really aiming for right now. Why would you manifest that for me? My foot hurts, Mark. How could you possibly do this to me? So if we win, we're making them do one-legged hops. It's not a one-man show, it's just run a marathon. It could happen. It's a two. It's a two. I had a great callback earlier. Remember, yeah, I had that. Wade had the callback earlier, but that's fine. No, I had a cool callback to, like, as an old joke, but it checks. No, five, four, three, two, one. Oh, that's true. It's the oldest callback probably ever on the show. I think we already have one that's, like, was in the hospital or was injured or something. I think we do, you know. I, most recently adopted hobby. So whoever has most recently begun a hobby, like I would say right now, Pokemon for me is probably the most recent thing that we're sort of talking, I mean, you got me into it, Wade, but I'm newer than you. You've done it most recently. It says something like that. Two spins, 118 options on the wheel. What could do wrong? Come on. Not. Ooh, best looking. I'm a little already, if I'm going to be honest, I kind of need to shave. It's definitely marked today, sorry. All right, cool, good. He has a certain glow about him. I've been swimming in the pool with the GoPro, so I've been getting a nice bit of sun. I've not been able to be active for a few months, and I need to shave. I don't know, yeah. I wouldn't have accepted even if I do deserve it. Look, you might deserve it, but that doesn't mean that you actually get it. All right, one more point. Come on. I agree. Come on. Come on. I'm so close to winning. His judges asked them all so. Oh, come on, man. Mark didn't have a documented lost point. Man, I'm so. Oh, come on. Yeah! Oh, well. I like how we were won away from the host wins, too. I knew it was gonna cost me goddamn. I hadn't done that. Well, and Mark just handed it away. Couldn't just let the opportunity to hurl out some out of pocket insults. I now have the knitting community hating me. I have been guilty of so many times, and I totally get it. But that does mean that officially, because he did a bounty, shocking the entire universe. Wait, is the winner? Mark, please give us a loser speech. This loser's speech is brought to you by GoPro. Oh, no. Markable. No, distractable. Sure, distractable. Yeah, you can get your GoPro tempers on off with distractable D-I-S-T-R-H-D-I-B-L-E. I feel like this was not fate. This was my own actions. I've never been more certain in a. in a deterministic universe. No, wait, the opposite. In a. undeterministic universe, where we make our own choices, and our destiny is made by our own actions, and everything is an echo from our thoughts to our physical form, and extending out in ripples of waves of energy to everyone else that's around us. I feel one with the universe. I am so connected, and I am hated. I know that even though I'm as connected as I've ever been to the universe, it is against me, and it does not want me to succeed. But it's all my own fault, because I am the universe, and we are all. I. we are all me. We are all. we are all me, and it's terrible. [Laughter] Ah, well, thank you, Mark. Wait, winter speech. This might be the first time I've won back-to-backs on the right word, 'cause, you know, I didn't win my own episode, but, like, without giving myself a win back-to-back in a long time. It feels good. It feels good to succeed. I put in a little bit of effort, and the universe smiled upon me. Mark put in the opposite today, and, you know, was. Oh, look, I think he tried pretty hard. He just tried to do the wrong things. He insulted a lot of people, and, you know, that the universe did not give him as big of a smile as it gave me. You know, it's nice to do good, try even just a little bit. There's just a little bit of effort. It's a little effort, and it won't change me, and I'll be right back to my old ways soon. But for today, man, it felt nice. And I should put an effort more often. I won't, but, man, I should. And we'll hold you to that. Thank you, Wade. Congratulations on winning. I do the. so the episode is over, but I have one more thing I have to announce, what the actual things are that I'm going to do this week. You've been talking about them for a long time, and I've sort of been putting them off, 'cause I'm like, "Ah, I don't know if I really like that." The bread makers, maybe. Wade, I'm going to do the Pokemon fan games. I'm going to try out Emerald Rogue and Pokey Rogue, and just, like, dip my toes a little bit, and maybe I'll have a fresh addiction. Those two are very different than normal Pokemon. I would say, like, unbound or rejuvenation's more like Pokemon games, but if you want completely random and different, those are two or. That's the thing I'm kind of interested in. I do like, like, Rogue lights and stuff, so I'm curious about how that will work. And then, Mark suggested a bunch of stuff. Oh, good stuff. What are we hoping for, Gooney? So it's only one week. It's only one week. Can I take make bread and just leave it at that? Or does it have to be the empire of bread? Because if I like it, it could lead to that. But I feel like me successfully making maybe, maybe like a couple of loafs of bread. Maybe I'll try some stuff. Would be pretty good for one week's time to give it a try. And if I like it, I'll build the evil empire. What would your business be called? If you go into a bread business, would be like, "Big Bob's bread, baking, bonanza." Bob's bangin' bread. And our branding will look exactly like Dave's killer bread. But it'll be legally distinct. Blowin' bread bubbles. LLC. It's just like a bread. They're all hollow bread shells. I mean, bread is just bubbles. So like I see, I see the angle. I understand. Anyway, so this week, I will film myself playing Pokemon fan games. Possibly get some more input from you. Wait if I try a couple and I'm interested in other stuff. And baking, I'm gonna say at least two different kinds of bread. Ooh. I don't have a sourdough starter. And I don't know how difficult it is to just get one of those. But like, I can definitely find a couple different varieties of bread to try. And I will also film that on my. Where the fuck did it go? On my GoPro. Mission one. Prooo. Wow. Co-distractable. Co-distractable. The ISTR safety. Wow. It has been a while. Anyway, that's the end of the episode. Check out our merch store, distractable.shop. Check out our social media and channels and whatnot. Lord Minion777 or Minion777. Markiplier or a MiceCerm. We're out there on the internet. Make sure you follow the show so that you get notifications. Because in case you forget, then it will tell you that you're supposed to watch and/or listen to us every time an episode comes out. And Wade will host the next one. Shocker to us all, I know. But he won, so he gets to do it. Regardless of what that means for the rest of us. Thank you for watching. Do you even more are listening? I hate listeners. I missed it all up. That's the end of the episode. See you on the next one. Podcast out.

FAQs

It's a comedy podcast hosted by Bob, Mark, and Wade where they discuss random topics, play games, and award points for funny or interesting contributions.

Mark's hands cramped because playing the game's 10/20 mode requires fast, controlled motions and a tense grip, which he found physically demanding after long sessions.

Wade only buys Pokemon cards at retail stores, like Walmart, to avoid resellers and scalpers, and he's focused on the newest set, Prismatic Evolutions.

Wade suggested playing fan-made Pokemon games like Emerald Rogue or PokeRogue, which are roguelike and can be played on mobile or browser.

Mark suggested day trading, which involves analyzing charts and making quick trades, though he admitted it was risky and he'd had a bad experience with it in college.

Bob created a bounty where Wade and Mark each suggested hobbies for him to try while his foot healed, and he would pick a winner to receive points on the next episode.
